**NEW BATTLETOMES!** Slaves to Darkness vs Ogor Mawtribes | Age of Sigmar Battle Report

[@SandmanofTerra]

Man we all need to take some time to be grateful for just the endless stream of GORGEOUSLY painted models on this channel!

[@thepastrychef8014]

Great models means a great viewing experience!

[@davidburke6467]

@@thepastrychef8014 Yet you're always giving Fletcher a hard time!

[@EinheriV]

This. I usually watch Season of War batreps, and they're great, but I don't get why almost all of their armies look like bland monocolour blobs, esp. when they're using painting studios

[@jordansmith4704]

Do we know who painted them? Like an IG for the artist?

[@melchoriuz8116]

This channel does everything superior ... best-painted models, good knowledge of rules... always in good mood.

[@judgemoffatt4326]

Chef and Beard are always a good time on there. Some of the best chemistry I've seen between two players. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@RareRiddemz]

I was thinking that all game - they seem like they'd be best friends even off the battlefield.

[@lord_inquisitor69]

I'm always awestruck with how good the paint jobs are for your armies. Keep up the great work!

[@thepastrychef8014]

Cheers!

[@Jonas_Fox]

I'm loving all the Age of Sigmar content. It's been a refreshing change of pace and it's so much fun to watch you guys have a good time with it. Thanks for putting out some of the highest quality AoS content that's out there!

[@GalanThings]

Being used to 40k it's really weird to see proper fight only begin on turn 3 instead of both armies almost non existing at that point. Seams much more fun this way.

[@bastiandeininger6654]

It is, you should try it. Age of Sigmar is - at least at the moment - a better game than 40k, with simpler and more streamlined rules, yet more tactical depth somehow

[@ajaxtaur]

Yeah, but you very quickly see games going the same way. They brought it up in this very batrep where "wow, this became another battle for the center... but I'm sure others won't be like that." I could only respond, "Yeah, they will be."

[@ajaxtaur]

@@bastiandeininger6654 I think they're both very mediocre games, to the point where it's hard to call one better than the other. They each do some things very incredibly wrong, while having a few good points that the other can point to and say, "SEE?! I'm better!!!" AoS has army-ADHD; flat-to-wound rolls; a melee focus that leaves shooting armies as kings in mission, terrain, and army design; "cookie-cutter" army design where you have next to no control in list-building unless it's a pre-approved idea; "superhero and his friends" army philosophy; *over*-simplified rules; and the AWFUL idea that is the ability to get double-turns. I'm not sure what you mean by "more tactical depth," because 40k is pretty on-par with AoS on that department. It's just not as glaringly obvious as AoS, because 40k tends to be more fatal without good terrain. 40k isn't without its own flaws, though. It has plenty of sacred cows holding it back, including Space Marine fetishism (Space Marines having to feel "super" despite being *a majority of the playerbase* ); falling into the same traps as AoS with the "superhero and his friends" army philosophy; older designs from prior editions informing current trends; old designs failing to keep up with power creep in *model design* (there's only so much power you can strap onto an existing Leman Russ's guns, which is why the new Dorn has 5 extra guns stapled to it by comparison); and an unwillingness to let anyone die. And neither has alternating activations. **TL;DR** - Both games suck so much that comparing them mechanically is like saying you prefer the smell of spoiled eggs over spoiled milk. Enjoy the game for the cool models and move on from trying to prove yours is worthwhile.

[@bastiandeininger6654]

@@ajaxtaur yea, okay. I do enjoy AoS though, despite your long, angry post. You don't have to, though.

[@ajaxtaur]

@@bastiandeininger6654 Nah man, I *do* enjoy AoS. I also enjoy 40k. I also just recognize both aren't great, lol. And sorry, I usually go on ADHD-fueled rants.

Love the energy that Chef and Beard bring to these games! Super enjoyable and such beautiful models! Keep it up gang ❤

[@wokehammer40k]

Love seeing you all bring your top quality filming style to Sigmar! The games look amazing! And so fun seeing AoS previews on the channel!

[@BattleshockWargaming]

Great production value and friendly, engaging game :) Cheers. One thing that is awesome, you can use the BCR unstoppable charge ability to move in multiple directions, so you could move partially over a unit and then toward another unit to proc your mw output 😉 Subscribed. I'd love for you to check out our channel that is exclusive to AoS: Battleshock Wargaming. Keep up with the great AoS content!

[@Schildknaap1921]

Great battle report! Btw, running Be'lakor with the flaming weapon spell (4+ to cast: +1 damage on one weapon) makes him a lot more scary in combat

[@andrewburgoyne4728]

It's great to see Beastclaw Raiders, and you guys have an excellent production quality. They are also my second favorite army after Stormcast. I hope to see more AoS reports!

Always enjoyable to see you laugh and have fun while playing AoS. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. I agree with Belakor being a bit meh, but overall the new STDs seem very potent. Looking forward to the Orruks and more!

[@l.d.6841]

I understand if you wanted Be'lakor to be stronger but for the points he costs now he is totally fine.

[@Nubgan]

Love me some Age of Sigmar, thanks for calling out the nonsense in the Generals handbook! You're not the only ones to commentate on it in the same way, especially on the battlepack battalions. Hopefully it will all be binned off in January! :D

We'll see what takes its place 😅

[@larrybarba7757]

a little tech on that stonehorn rampage, when you move as if flying you can float over the unit of chaos warriors and back over the lord and land in front of him as long as you had the movement.

[@SinOfGin]

Thanks for doing this report, love your stuff and love gaming vicariously through you guys

[@CousinOfCurze]

I'm building a Slaves army now and I am painting them Norscan. I figured out kinda late this probably makes them look very committed to Tzeentch ... But this was a really fun batrep to learn some of their skills on the field.

[@colonelcabbage]

Chef, regarding dispelling endless spells: the endless spell rules say that a priest can attempt to dispel and endless spell at the start of the hero phase, like a wizard, but you chant 1 fewer prayers during that turn. Now, you don’t chant prayers in Beard’s turn, so your priest can dispel endless spells in the enemy turn with no downsides! Also, endless spells cannot he cast in a turn they were dispelled, so another reason to dispel in Beard’s turn!

[@thepastrychef8014]

Ah must've missed that, thought it was Invocations only in the enemy Phase. Good to know for next time!

[@colonelcabbage]

@@thepastrychef8014 yup. It odd but it’s in the endless spells rules. I think you can also clip people with the move over them rampage for the MWs rather than having to totally pass over them. Fun report! Looking forwards to more!

[@lordvladekc4846]

Be'Lakor does not do that much damage indeed. Although that is just not his role. You get Be'Lakor for his AMAZING lockdown ability, to potentially shut down your opponent's best unit for 2 turns. He also is a double caster, which is always great to have. Great game guys! Very fun to see my two armies fight it out.

[@thepastrychef8014]

It's true he's a good support piece. A costly one mind you.

Fantastic batrap! Love You guys!

[@nederth3364]

Ps riders od the beast (the doors) killed me. Nice!!

[@alexvassilopoulos9]

Great show, gents! If I may recommend: many competitive events only allow the grand strategies and battle tactics from the current season. (In other words, faction specific ones are left out). Many competitive players (including myself) find that when both players are playing from the same set of tactics and strategies, it makes for a better game.

[@tabletoptactics]

Thanks for the tips Alex. As we gain more experience in Sigmar and play some more competitive games, we will adopt those rules in the comp games :)

[@bakuchidancer]

"competitive". Always cracks me up reading somebody to describe themselves playing competitive on game that can't be played competitively :D You have better luck playing SLEEPING competitively than GW games...You can call a pig pure bred stallion but it's still just a pig. Similary GW games just flat out are impossible to play competitively

[@alexvassilopoulos9]

There are Age of Sigmar tournaments all over the world and they’re a lot of fun. Competitive Age of Sigmar is in excellent shape right now.

[@bakuchidancer]

@@alexvassilopoulos9 just because you call something doesnt make it tournament. I can call pig a pure bred stallion. You willing to pay pure bred stallion price for one? Competive aos　is marketing term from gw to fool money from try hard players who chase what gw marketing department wants you to buy for your "competive" tournament, I have nice island for you to sell.

Don’t know if it has been posted previously but what paint was used on the karkadrak? Exactly what I want on mine! Cheers

[@Tobi13131]

About the point Chef makes at roughly 42:00 in this mission you cannot contest objectives that are not activated, therefore you cannot even hold them. if you grab that one active objective in the middle but have no models within range of your home objective you will still score Hold 1 AND Hold more than the opponent

[@thepastrychef8014]

Yeah, thats how we played it in round 1, I meant more for the subsequent turns, but I saw it was covered in the FAQ 😅

[@bakuchidancer]

In this scenario you can CONTROL objectives. You just can't SCORE from them. Important difference actually. For one it matters with battle tactics. For second if you control objective turn 1 even if you can't score from it you can leave it turn 2 and you still will score from it when it is activated.

[@user-xe9fd5tb1j]

[@Enballgroda1]

In regard to Be'lakor's output... yeah I think most people agree that it's a bit 'eh' for such a huge cool model. Now his rules are great, so he's still a real good unit for his points, but I'd kinda want him to be a bit more expensive and a bit more impressive personally.

I agree that belakor’s damage output is a bit underwhelming but I suppose they wanted to keep him as a “support” character even though they gave his model the best glow up

Great to see the new Chaos tomb in action, bit bummed about Be'lakor being lackluster but hopefully with some tinkering can find a way to get the most out of him. Still waiting to actually make the lunge into AoS but should be soon!

[@thepastrychef8014]

Join us!

[@l.d.6841]

Be'lakor was still worth his points in this game. Being able to basically take out one unit of your choice for one round is HUGE, he is still a 2 spell caster, and the two Mornfangs he killed were already about half his points. He is not lackluster. Just don't let him fight your opponent's strongest melee unit. StD already have plenty VERY strong units and options. It's ok that Be'lakor is "only good"

[@onemisterfranko]
