NEW STYLE BATREP - Tyranids vs Space Wolves Warhammer 40K 10th Edition Battle Report Ep 1

[@miniwargaming]

Get your Warhammer 40K armies at Wayland Games! www.waylandgames.co.uk/wargames-miniatures/wargames/warhammer-40-000 A massive thanks to Wayland Games for sponsoring this battle report! What do you all think of the new style of filmed batreps? We’ve got classic style in the MWG Vault as well.

[@savagex466-qt1io]

Did I miss something ? What was the final score ? Great video.

[@daniell.9186]

The way the new system was set up is very good. I expected less. Thanks to the mixture of close-ups, studio shots and panoramic shots. This is acceptable to me as a viewer of the last 20 years. Well done!

[@Jfund12]

Love the new style. The integration of the hand camera for key moments is a great addition.

[@PandorableMae]

Honestly, the primary reason I watched miniwargaming batreps over others, was the original style of battle reports. This zoomed out style takes away from the awesome models and beautiful terrain, which is half the reason I watch in the first place.

[@TheSpectralFX]

Nah I disagree. It's way cooler to see them both at the same time, it really adds to the scene. I for one care about seeing Matthews beyond just his dice-rolling forearm. The future is now old man!

[@PandorableMae]

@@TheSpectralFX that’s cool. But I didn’t ask

[@mattjek828]

@@PandorableMaewow, can’t handle a different opinion?

[@PandorableMae]

@@mattjek828 I made a comment in response to the video, stating my opinion; How I felt about the matter. I didn’t ask for opinions on my opinion of how I view things.

[@KnudAutlermann]

Its a shame theres less handheld camera work. The fact that i still get some though makes me happy 😁. I understand handheld is a lot more work, but please keep up the hybrid camera work. You guys are so awesome and a huge inspiration for my hobbying.

[@sarahdisco-dolly1150]

I like both styles, variety is the spice of life and the important factor in any batrep is the presenters, we must be able to engage with them and this was engaging.

[@RebelDashOne]

This style is so great. Easier to follow, and appreciate the feel as if we are in the room witnessing the game. When zooming in on the battlefield it’s best to not snap out of frame too quickly. Adds more to the narrative. Just my 2 cents. But overall I love this format.

[@innocentBystander19]

Throwing my opinion in so they hear a variety of feedback. Seeing a lot of people saying they prefer handcam, but I like this a lot more. For whatever that’s worth.

[@dissidiafan8402]

Loving that you guys are getting into upgrading your youtube videos, really nice step in the right direction! Highly recommend getting some music to play in the backround, really ups the immersion and gets peoples blood pumping. Can't wait for more Ravaged Star videos!

[@ComradePig]

Gotta say I prefer hand cam. Honestly the biggest reason I watch you guys over other channels is because you were the only ones doing hand cam. I think you did a great job with the multi cam style, I just prefer handcam

[@LiArtful]

I prefer handheld as I get to see a lot more of the minis

[@Adonidus]

Just keep in mind that the Broodlord doesn't have Synapse built in. Also, you keep your base Adaptation as well as gain the 2nd one when you use the Predatory Imperative stratagem. So probably balanced out in the end lol

[@miniwargaming]

Dang, I’ve never noticed that the broodlord doesn’t have synapse. Thanks for pointing that out!

[@benspiers8836]

People forget there's synapse army and Synapse keyword. He had synapse in 9th edition so it's easy to forget. You can get around it with Synaptic lynchpin enhancement and he then had 9" range

[@Koby19841]

@@miniwargaming It's hopelessly ridiculous that he's a psyker unit and doesn't have synapse, but that's the way it goes apparently.

[@Eric-jt8yx]

I prefer the old style. I want to see the battle and minis

[@Benwink2]

But you can see both?

[@owlbear8293]

Great job with the new format! I especially liked what you did with the lighting in the studio, it really made the Nurgle scenery pop! I think you might want to experiment with the brightness a little bit though because the minis looked a little bit washed out in the overhead shots. I'm reading what a lot of people are saying in the comments about the handheld style and I have to say I agree, the intimate first-person shots to me are the MWG brand, you should own it! That being said, I really do appreciate the overhead camera for getting a sense of the army positioning and battlefield objectives. In my humble opinion, you should stick to the handheld cam for most of the batrep and use the overhead shots in between turns and phases, kind of like popping open the map in a video game to get your bearings. Once again, great job. I really appreciate the MWG team always trying to innovate and improve their content!

[@steveguziec8050]

#teamoldstyle The handheld camera was the highlight of MWG

[@griznatle]

Agreed.

[@vfminiatures]

Love your batreps but honestly I never liked the multi-camera style. Stoped watching on-demand TTT because of that and BBone leaving them. Would really hope to see more old style batreps still.

[@KnudAutlermann]

Agreed. Loved the hand held camera style. Makes it more immersive. It's a shame so many content creators are moving to the camera setup now.

[@Eric-jt8yx]

100% agree

[@valkyriegremory]

Hand cam is nice, I can see dice better, close up shots and such. Multi cam style is hit and miss.

[@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475]

In the Vault, they have a Classic Battle Report of Space Marines Vs. Necrons.

[@traitorfang1416]

I personally really enjoy PlayOnTableTop. I enjoy how they edit it and make it a bit shorter and more accessible for other people. Usually they do 40k in 40mins. Unfortunately for me personally, I don't have 1.5 or 2 hours to be watching camera held batreps.

[@wjpjr7854]

While I like how the handheld camera makes it feel more like we're at the table playing, this style of multi-camera and overhead view makes it much easier to follow the game and understand what's happening.

[@Kavouraki_]

I like the new Camera / battle report style! Curious about the reason for changing it and what do you think about not having to hold the camera anymore?

[@Mindfulnesstheory]

Quality Overhead camera, before and after movement phases, concise explanations of army special rules, very well done. Enjoyable while learning, without sitting through a 3 hour game.

[@chaplain1112]

This feels old-school and fun like I'm sitting in the back of my lgs watching a game my friend is playing. Love all y'alls work but this was cool. Cheers boys Yaaaaabaaabbbaaa.... DOOOOOLOO

[@HoltBuzzing]

Wow, I have asked for a modern approach to batreps and you guys delivered! Looks great!!

[@Donnyjohnsonbooks]

You built your brand of batreps with the handcams and a more intimate feel. Glad you are trying new things but I loved the classic batrep style.

[@PaladinCaddy]

fantastic yall got some proper cameras :D much more enjoyable

[@RB30LJ]

Yabba Dabba Doooo absolutely sounds like 3x members of a Grot artillery team

[@Lemon.Lime.69z]

Love the new setup however I think it would be awesome to include some hand cam shots in this too! Best of both worlds but not relying only on hand cam 😁👍🏼

[@TalentHouseAd]

I agree, hand cam shots added a lot of charm to the bat reps! Plus it s a more visceral way to see where everything is on the board

[@gulfcoastwargamer2873]

Can't wait to see this style used on Age of Sigmar, or the old style....or anything on Age of Sigmar. I love all the content, but Age of Sigmar is my main game and the reason I found this channel and you guys seem to be covering it less and less lately. I get that Old World came out, and you haven't had a lot of folks come out for AOS lately but man Im missing batreps for AOS. Maybe get Dave playing AOS too! lol

[@FlorelaFTW]

23:54 Old One Eye doesn't have a bioplasma. Also at the same time. You don't swap your hyper adaptation. Predatory imperative gives you both.

[@crazyrat53]

Might have realized it after but in round 1 you couldve used the Termagant's agility once the Space Wolves got on the objective to roll a d6 and move. With the right roll it couldve gotten more Termagant bodies on the objective and denied that secondary and kept it under Tyranid control for the next turn!

[@Phytoon]

I really like this new format, it comes off as way more personal. Yabba Dabba Doo, I also really like the overhead camera and the overlays you guys provide, giving a lot more context to the overall battle. I know that's not a terribly innovative thing, but it warrants praise.

[@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475]

I appreciate that you both have Classic & New Camera styles for both videos. I wouldn't mind seeing both videos for each one or two one week of the New and then two for the Classic.

[@icebow2059]

I’m a big fan of the multiple angles and cameras. Keep up the good work!

[@jamesgunn178]

[@raiiabeart9569]

i feel when cams are over head i feel a bit disconnected to the battle. when yall do hand cams hte zoom ins and over view shots help immerse :) I hope this helps. Allways love watching yall!

[@benn1181]

Here I am patiently waiting for the return of multipart, 360p, voice-over batreps.

[@RickJagger13]

two favorite guys my main army and new camera angles! love it ! 🙌🏼♥️

[@cristhianmlr]

I just have to say that whoever painted those greenid made me feel in LOVE with them 💚💚💚💚 might copy that scheme myself.

[@leanmachinepainting3966]

Love the Batrap all the different angles is so much more engaging and interesting, that and a batrep involving Matt is always the best sort.

[@Dewoy1]

Yaba! Daba! Doooouuh! I love seeing Tyranids in action. And all though i know, this is not what it meant, i m excited for the possibility that "Ep1" means, Tyranids game 1, out of many.

[@rickstar171]

Great game and really like you changing things up for this style of camera coverage. Maybe it's my old eyes but I'd ask if you could have more light or zoom on the dice cam :) Keep it coming MWG, never get bored of your content

[@fatestaydreamer]

I like this overall. A couple of pieces of feedback: * More zoomed in shots while the "action" is taking place. I think this was the appeal of hand cam, where we get to see the models a lot more. * During the army introduction segment; A little more time spent on each unit would be great. * Also, during the army introduction segment, staying on the models rather than flipping back and forth between presenter and models would be preferable. It's a little jarring. I think there are times that staying with an angle would be better. The swapping is kinda jarring.

[@Celt1389]

I liked your batreps the best because of the walking camera. Just my opinion. I could see the board better and know where the models were. I can’t follow what’s happening in these kind of bat reps.

[@tomcallmusic4295]

Wasn't sure I'd like the change to the tried an true format, but it does look nice! Thanks for the content, as always.

[@EnviousFlows]

Yabadabadoo boys, great stuff! Love seeing my fellow dorks battle it out!

[@Matt-mu4vj]

Love this new style!! Haven't watched for a while but this format will bring me back 😊

YAA! BAA! DAA! BAA! DDDDDDDDDDDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like this new style in quality of cam. But i liked the older way. It was the mwg staple. Though i love the banter bat reps of old.

Very nice new setup. I can tell alot of work went into this.

[@bondjoethree]

Nice work guys. Really like the new style of BR!

[@robboss3172]

Really loved the style! It seemed as Luka looked a little tired/resigning with the SW -but I had a similar feeling with my wolves against my buddy´s Necrons. I saw the armies and knew it´ll be a defeat^^. It was a big defeat but also nice to see my buddy happy

[@tenshimusouka5820]

The way Matthew pronounces Termagant with a soft 'A' sounds so Newfie. It's great.

[@tomyorke3412]

You guys always put so much effort into it and it really does show i like this a lot

In before Matthews figures out which camera is what number Edit: yAbEeDa-BEDOUU!!1!1

[@davecolwell725]

As someone who is more into painting and the way the armies look I have always felt like the really best next direction for any of the tabletop gaming KZbin channels or providers to improve and getting me watching again I would need to see the entire quality of the models and tabletop highly increased, I don’t know if any channel is doing high quality painted models and terrain. But maybe it’s an impossible ask because then the teams would need full eavy metal style teams full time painting models like GW itself. But that’s just what I wish to see.

[@juddery]

Great batrep guys. Lots of fun and it's great that you explain what you're doing and why, as you go along, which is very useful. Also, Yabba dabba dooooo!

[@decnal24]

yabba dabba do

[@Ohdeargawd]

That explains all the yabba-dabba-doos... GG loved the new style. MORE NIDS!

[@mattjek828]

I love this new style. Reminds me a lot Table Top Tactics and Play On Tabletop, the only other channels I watch regularly for battle reports. It has a more professional and less of a “two guys in a basement with a camera” feel, which most YT battle reports are. I would suggest adding a score ticker somewhere on the screen with VP, CP etc.

[@YessikZiiiq]

So, I notice a lot more of these kinds of battle reports from you guys recently with the fixed camera. I realize that's how most battle reports are done, but I specifically subscribe to you guys for the more casual shot from the camera style of games. I find them easier to follow. While I don't expect anyone to cater to my taste specifically, I just wanted to let you know that I enjoy the other style of video, and if it's dropped entirely, I probably won't be keeping up my membership. There might be others like me, so I thought I'd at least say something.

[@mr08evox]

Fun to watch. I love the colour scheme of Mat’s Nids.

[@adamreed2088]

I like this new style of battle report you guys did. Being able to see both of the players I like it a lot.

[@beni4843]

[@brentleask3877]

Got the Space Puppies in the report. Love to see it.

[@daorkdork9490]

Yabba dabba dooooo

[@91elpiris]

Amazing report and great camera work. Love to see my nids being played properly; there are so many battle reports with rookie mistakes on them but in this game it was both a nice list and well played!

[@tristangodbold4035]

I love the new format. If y'all added some graphics for points and CP that would make things easier to follow, but I enjoy this more conversational style of batrep as much as I enjoy the slick, pretty PlayOn ones.

[@elwesingollo3536]

Great Job Guys! Really loved the new camera setup, and great terrain as always (two beautiful armies)...gotta say It looks like Leviathan shutdown the yhabha dhabha Dwho boys this time :}

[@Grimbago]

1. I really like that both combatants are visible. It was sad that we couldn't see the guests almost all the time. 2. I'd like to have dice tray camera not right above but at the angle so rolling will feel more natural and emotional 3. I really miss players' perspective view. Right above view doesn't really show what's happening as well as sideview. 4. I wish tactical missions appear on the screen bigger. Someone new to the game might want to read them but it is almost impossible. Overall, this is great! With a few little tweaks, it will be perfect! MWG's batreps were the best around already but this time you can really jump to the stratosphere.

[@johnsierra5754]

Yaba daba doo

[@MartyKane217]

yabbadabbadoo Luka is a good sport! Nice battle report

[@EPICSAWIKI]

this new style is incredible, Can't wait to see more games. edit: The slightest of nit-picks, your channel logo covers a small portion of the rolling tray so it obscures some rolls (example being the very first Zoanthrope shots in the first shooting phase.) in the mini player (not fullscreen) but if you raised it on the screen just a tiny amount it would fix this issue.

I like this style of batreps, it looks more professional while still seeming like a couple friends meeting up for a game. Only critique so far is maybe slowdown the number of camera switches, got a little dizzy a few minutes in. 😂

[@cornucopiaofpleasure2988]

For you Matt, Ya(h)ba-dha-baa-Dou!!

[@Asathor76]

Neat and very well done set-up! Loving the new style. I am still enjoying very much the hold-school-hand-cam style as it make me feel like I am part of the game :) hopefully, you guys can still sustain both styles :) GJ to MWG Team once again!

[@justinalexanderroth3201]

When I saw new style batrep I got a bit worried because I'm a very big fan of the method and quality of filming you guys provide, but I do like being able to see both combatants. The only complaint I have is that there hasn't been much AOS lately. I need more of Matthew's Gitz and his goblin voice. (I'm not a channel member yet, so i haven't watched the recent Gitz batrep)

[@nikot.9920]

I for one like the new style and it definitely seems like the game itself was pretty engaging but only time will tell after you guys do batreps with different guests. Looking forward to more batreps

[@cyberjonesy]

Yabba dabba doo! The carnifexes by themselves are pathetic but when the boss is around, yikes do they work beautifully ! Well done commander of the hive mind, a well deserved biomass feast awaits you now. consume at your will.

[@sethmerlin]

Like it. I think if you're doing this way a scoreboard overlay in a corner will help. Or at least adding scoreboard shots between turns rather than just vocalising.

[@danielhammer619]

PREDATORY IMPERATIVE" stratagem dont CHANGE your hyper adaptation, it allows you to add ANOTHER adaptation so you have 2 active at the same time.

I like this format with two producers as you guys are great on camera, but maybe with a guest stick with the floating camera style for that instant reaction dynamic shots. Both are good though and I'm enjoying this vid!

[@Jfund12]

I like the new style. Might I make a suggestion, though? Work in some hand camera shots for key moments. Work in the best of both worlds.
