[NEW EDITION] Farstalker vs. Wyrmblade - Kill Team Battle Report

[@AShieldOfMeat]

I think skipping a boring early turn for individual moves and just doing the recap is pretty reasonable and good.

[@nraketh]

I do wish GW would have altered deployment zones and scoring to make turn 1s less boring.

[@paulthompson6594]

Might be worth adding either numbers of a symbol or two to show where the significant threats you guys highlight at the start are. Fine watching everyone move up but watching them do it whilst knowing which green circle was the skinner would add a lot.

[@FloppyOri]

Yea definitely

[@robertchmielecki2580]

This was my impression with the new edition so far too. The first turn is such a waste of time, with nothing happening, unless somebody slips and makes a weird positioning mistake. Bad game design to make 1/4th of the game such a nothingburger.

[@GundamReviver]

​@@robertchmielecki2580I've played 3 3e games now, and so far zero games had my enemies not slipping up, causing me to use it. Causing them to go in more aggressive, sunken cost fallacy.

[@artival22]

Rip for the MVP bow Hunter who killed 3 and died illegitimately

[@wesleygillis5061]

I liked the fast forward through turning point one, I do appreciate that you recapped the important things that happened during it!

[@knowyouronion12]

Great video, but I think you guys might have misplayed when Wyrmblade operatives come out of hiding. They have to be placed more than six inches away from enemies operatives and count as having performed the reposition action.

[@makikmak3018]

All the music on this channel for the kill team intros go insanely hard.

[@MushieNino]

Honestly came for the KT stayed for the Vibe.

[@xHighwave]

Facts

[@Corporal_Tajikistan]

Love the Wyrmblade colour scheme. So neon, much contrast.

[@ciaosonoAlbertoG]

Yeah, I love it too! Can we have a recipe? Let us COOK

[@schtaben]

I agree, I think Brad nailed both paintjobs of these and the aquilons :D

[@bjf10]

Looks like there's some rad black light action going on there too maybe?

[@Roda-Fowa]

Goes really nicely with the way the Gallowdark walls are painted too.

[@samuelarno]

Came here to say the same thing!

[@2omb.]

For the first turning point if nothing much is happening, I think it would be great to do a quick voiceover of the activations while the animation of the top down view is playing. That way it’s easier to follow what’s happening without wasting a bunch of time for shots of single models moving and dashing

[@JabbaThePutz]

I like that the dots got a little more time and some explanation to go with them. It gives me a better sense of the bigger picture with the whole game.

[@Pubillu]

when you deploy from ambush you have to do it more than 6 inches away from enemy operatives and you are considered to have done a reposition action, so it's impossible to throw any grenade when you deploy them (nor shotgun shot for that matter)

[@mintw4241]

That’s a big oops

[@ps6704]

Love the paintjob on the Wyrmblade! The colour scheme works and it’s so clean. You can see how great the highlighting is on the close up shots Awesome work !

[@BenjaminsBookclub]

You two make the absolute best Kill Team/Skirmish battle reports on youtube, and it's not even close, nothing comes close to how much I enjoy the way you guys make them. Keep up the great work!

[@Thomas-rw1be]

Your recap on TP 1 was brilliant. Quick and an honest depiction of what to expect on kt24 in gallowdark. Also, keeping in the visuals with the voiceover with select cuts was easily informative enough. Though sadly, wyrmblade cannot set up hiding operatives within 6" of enemies - so grenades, web pistol, and shotguns are not great with hiding (flamer's good to rock, though)! Paused after the killing of the kroot pistoler to comment, very excited for the rest of the video

[@Chito_17]

I like the choice with turn one. Great game, great paint jobs, this is THE Kill Team channel on KZbin. Oh, love the weird Shadowrun-like music during the batrep too.

[@mareklwhip4590]

I LOVE Farstalker Kinband. So glad it's back on the channel! Edit: I can't say I'm the biggest fan of you skipping turning point 1. I learned a LOT about KT from this channel, being able to watch and study how you position your operatives for success in turning point 2+ is very handy. I'd like if you kept turning point 1 in the batrep!

[@Granite-ny8up]

That kroot intro music! Perfect

[@patrickdunham9490]

I think jumping straight to the summary of TP1 works. The overview of, "Here's where I moved and why." is the important info for a turning point that doesn't involve any action and can't have any scoring. Good stuff, guys!

[@thomasnguyen8673]

Killer paintschemes! Love the synthwave GSC guys

[@youngcfo290]

U should do more in depth videos on your guys’ paint schemes because they always look so awesome I need more details!

[@thelightning444]

Skipping a boring moment like you did here was a good thing in my opinion, as long as you recap some of the important stuff exactly as you did 😊

[@Nailgun26]

Would love if yall started posting guides on how you did your paintjobs. I’ve been inspired by so many of y’all’s teams schemes but have no clue how to recreate them.

[@chester1882]

You can watch their “Paint a Kill Team in a Day” video and see each of their general painting styles.

[@Beardmire]

As someone brand new to KT (started this edition) and a new fan of your channel, I have some minor input about the 1st turn skip. Overall I like it, it's a good change, but it would be nice to make it a bit clearer who is who. Though the colours match the armies, just adding some text on either side stating which team is which would make it easier to follow for newer people (edit: Especially as I noticed that in the scoring screen your positions are flipped compared to the board-view). Also highlighting the special things happening that you talk about might help making it easier to follow, like the warrior coming out of hiding for example. Circling it or adding some other small animation would be nice to have :)

[@therichguywithnomoney.3383]

I do like how skipping to tp2 makes the game a little more fast paced but seeing the models move helps me understand the game situation better.

[@bshean72]

The Kelermorph Gunslinger is one of the best sculpts to come out of GW

[@BingusMcdingus57]

Great game! As always lovin the music and the paint jobs. I think it’s totally fine to skip a bit when it is mostly moving into position.

[@jfkogod]

Great video. I like the animated recap after each turning point; that's a great touch. Hope to see more videos like this

[@andrewwilliams8058]

I'd love a painting tutorial on how you get the neon-purple teams. They looks amazing and so unique!

[@Y3llowSt4r]

Dude the Intro of the Wyrmblade with the Sound + Fitting Rotation... Gold

[@boxobanter3278]

Oh YES I've been hoping you guys would do something with the wyrmblade! Love your videos

[@nibblerseven]

@6:10 *OVERWHELMING FEEDBACK* Oh sorry, my microphone was lying on my speaker. Yeah, forwarding through the first TP works fine!

[@archiecomel3735]

So. Now I love kroot even more, never imagined them with a western theme but that was amazing. Gonna become a Patreon just for that. Everything. Else is a bonus!

[@andrewwilliams8058]

I've got the Farstalkers and so happy to see them given some love. But sad to see them stomped again...

[@ihmis4pina]

Great work as always! I didn't mind skipping the 1st turning point as there was, after all, the little recap of it. If you keep on skipping, please hold onto that!

[@austinwhitbeck3362]

As someone wanting to get back into 40k without having a large 40k army (first born will sit on a shelf from years past), it's great fun to see this mode of 40k be played and be such a blast. Thanks for sharing the fun! Another great one! - Victory Aut Mortis

[@ALTICS24]

Hey guys. Love the content and I think the summary for tp1 makes sense. Have you considered including unit initials on the circles? It would help us see who is where at the end of TP1.

[@NiallRFarley]

The quality of production in your videos remains top notch, guys! Keep up the great work!

[@shazbah2760]

100% fine with skipping turn 1 if nothing much happens. Love this channel, keep up the great work

[@OsomePainting]

Awesome batrep, I love the terrain, the music is awesome and everything is pure fun to watch, thx

[@anakinskywalkerghost8964]

I think it’s good! You still explain your tactics but no long winded you move I move!

[@MansePower]

Finally some Wyrmblade action from you guys! Great to see👍🏻

[@MrShoe321]

The Kroot's theme music is so good

[@retnuHDJ]

1 small thing that wouldn't have made a difference to the outcome is that whoever gets a higher score in the kill op gets 1 extra VP, so the final score should really have been 11 - 5 TP 1 recap was a great idea too. Love your vids :)

[@cosmoceratops]

I like the idea of speeding up the edit for TP1, but I did find I was unfamiliar with where the models were on the board.

[@Vaellas]

That was such a wild game of Minecraft vs Angry birds and man I feel for the birds. I also feel like if the first turn is just moving then skipping and showing the diagram of what happened is completely fine.

[@darthvaderyan]

I liked the fast forward, and I especially liked that wide view time lapse of the moves

[@eric_intotheunknown]

As a new player, I found myself wanting to see more of your first turn. Just to get a better sense of how you're setting yourselves up for turn 2. I think you could still do it quicker than the other turns, and the overhead map recap was good, but maybe spending a little time (and a little more on-table visuals) if/when you're making an important setup move would be great. Love your battle reports!

[@MamaBearKS]

I liked the fast forward personally, helps keep the pacing of the video snappy while summarizing key moments so we can get to the meat of the action faster!

[@senwal422]

Skipping the first turn was great choice. Well done lads keep it up

[@davidmiller3999]

The Wyrmblade theme is absolutely banging.

[@lewisrhine]

The amount of times I yelled "Victory Shriek!" while watching this hurt my lungs.

[@Zaeed651]

I dont mind either! But id like a different camera angle personally, that way we can see the whole board. Keep up the great videos thanks for teaching us how to play!

[@BroodingEdgelord]

I like the new kill team turntable show. It shows all the details snd paint schemes better!

[@dennisflood9546]

Skipping past uneventful bits is the way to go. But would actually really enjoy seeing a full game of yours real time. Also the would be nice to have the vp scoring recapped at the end of each tp.

[@ThatOtherAkshat]

About time you guys posted! Love your content! :)

[@chowjers1087]

This Turn 1 format is great

[@chiefmcclane]

I like the fast forward on the recap but I would love to hear yalls reasonings for moving up one side or another - what's the tactical decision making process look like for you?

[@kiprianos.s]

I would love a recipe, or a painting video for your synth wave schemes. I hope it’s coming soon! ❤ These wyrmblade Ops and the Hearthkyn Salvagers are both amazing!

[@dylancramer667]

Missed an awesome chance to reference Caiphus Cain with Kroot vs Genestealers!

[@YessikZiiiq]

I don't want you to consider this negative feedback on the fast forward. But maybe a middle ground. I like the fast forward through things, but maybe pause at things that the players consider noteworthy and do a couple board state shots to explain the thought process of moving. Edit, the top down view with the blips isn't super helpful to me since I can't remember the names of units very easily

[@romeo.3472]

Only 1 minute in but need to say that synthwave colour scheme is fantastic. 😊

[@forgefathervulkanhestan18]

I love the paint job on the wyrmblade

[@chester1882]

T1 recap instead of play by play of you moving your guys up was great. Feels a little odd not seeing the powerful set up that Brad but it’s ok. I watched some of your old vids recently and watched the one where you announced your Patreon launch, where you said you weren’t getting sent product from GW, look where you two are now. It’s wonderful.

[@masonbrilliantba]

KROOT, LET'S GO KROOT!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Spruegit]

Those Wyrmblade are some of the best models I've seen in ages, such vibrant skin in comparison to the coolness, I love it

[@Punchodile]

Longtime viewer here and local Wyrmblade enthusiast, this was a fun game! i ADORE everything about brad's wyrmblade team, both the paint job and the theme music, and it was fun to get a preview at how they work this edition. It's been a while since i've gotten to play and i never really play Into the Dark, so i can't exactly offer specific pointers, but clearly the team worked well enough to snag the win! Another excellent video

[@SulliverVittles]

What is the color recipe on those Wyrmblade? They look amazing.

[@gomperhooblet]

11:45 Shouldn't the Saturate rule on the Flamer have stopped all cover saves being retained here?

[@luminary6396]

Thank you!

[@tatez24]

I really like the simplicity of the color scheme of the terrain. How did you achieve that purple gradient?

[@austinmcgonigal5655]

watched this while painting my space skaven wyrmblade conversion

[@builtforsins]

Great BP, I had the same thing happen to me where I get suck in a room with very little options.

[@gavincourteaux542]

Love the new way of handling TP1

[@woollessmammoth]

love the coldblood, would be interested in what you used to paint him.

[@stebateus7730]

Personally I dont mind looking turn 1, your battle reports are already very well edited and not too long. I guess it only matters if there was some fun mind gaming, bantering or counter moving happening in the first turn that would be fun to see. Or useful intel for less experienced players to see. Both ways work.

[@Granite-ny8up]

Would love to see you play the missions in the Hivestorm dossier. Different to approved ops, so no kill op, no tac op, no primary op - just a win/lose condition for each player

[@TheSpirokeet]

I’m fairly new so not sure if I’m misunderstanding this: in turn 2 you had ‘Ceasless’ and initially roll 2x5’s/2/1. Does this not mean that you can only reroll the 5’s as they are “results of one result”? Please correct if I’m wrong, as I might have been using ceaseless wrong this whole time! Loving your videos, you guys have good banter and are very engaging.

[@kollegex6946]

I think it depends whether or not there was some sort of tactical talk about plans and the like during the first turning point. if there was i would have loved it. if there wasnt skipping is the right choice in order to keep these videos at a good length.

[@capsaicinJT]

before watching and knowing what happens: GO KROOT!!!!!!!!!

[@capsaicinJT]

darn.

[@archon1156]

I really like the low shot of TP1 with the more detailed recap, positioning is interesting but doesn't need the detail of combat

[@ScottySpeeks]

Both faction's models look so good!!!!

[@TerminalTT]

the paint jobs are excellent! do you guys have any tutorials

[@mitchgurrin6982]

I gotta ask, how do you guys get such a matte finish on your models ? Is there a particular product you use? Great work as always!

[@cameronbillick7922]

I know I'm a month later, but as someone who's just getting into Kill team for the 1st time, I really appreciate you skipping the slow movement phase and just explaining your thinking in positioning as you move into the action phases

[@common_cross]

I like the idea of speeding through the first turn if nothing happens BUT I would love to hear about what your plan is and why you move your guys the way you do.

[@OceanVista76]

4:21 me and my friend call this gun the Thrungler

[@TheBen427]

Agree on fast forward the first turn!!

[@MrJohneharvey]

Do you have a painting recipe for the Wyrmblade? They look so good. Good battle report. Engaging!😊

[@trisdavenport3552]

Quick first turn was great : )

[@jordanbusch6588]

I enjoyed Kroot before, but they seem like they're in a much nicer spot for this new edition

[@zunuf]

I don't mind fast forwards, but I wish for stuff like that it was a full shot of the table. More occasional "establishing" shots would be good. One caveat, I feel like perfectly overhead / straight down shot often looks bad. I think the minis are most distinguishable from an ~45 angle. Most shots are good though!

[@Dillpickle4U]

Great Video!

[@akreid4614]

I got a bit lost as to who went where during turning point one. Maybe commentary over the dots moving? Cuz otherwise it’s just sane colours dots moving from one position to another without really understanding, who is going where.

[@honeybadgerking1160]

Finally bring the blade the wormblade, I love this team!

[@bjf10]

Looks like the wyrmblade killteam isn't sold in a box these days? How does one build one? I love GSC.

[@viscounttudon68]

Any chance yall will ever publish your team music, either on KZbin or Spotify? I’d love to have it to listen to, the wyrmblade theme is banger

[@chapperrs]

I know you guys play a super casual game, which I really enjoy, but you can’t come out of hiding within 6 inches of an enemy to drop a blasting charge on the pistoleer. or the flamer and webber moves

[@samjsnz]

Flamer is now 8" and webber 12" range

[@tracechristensen4208]

I think Vic kissed a few victory screeches from the kill broker, I may have miss read the rule when I played farstalkers but oh well

[@berber1871]

I think the kroot with the two pistols can shoot first if somone shoot at him at the right range..

[@swells1]

Since nothing happens turn one skipping the move by move is appreciated

[@arturopineda7011]

nice report, with a couple missplays but very entertaining, the fast forward TP1 is ok as long as nothign really happens tbh... but that one barricade was way too close to the door to begin with

[@CatCraine]

I didnt mind the turn skip too much, but even with your birds eye recap, it can be a little tough to follow along. Otherwise, great rep!
