Just wanted to add my voice to the others saying really glad you guys are covering Sigmar! I got a Tabletop Tactics membership just to see more! Keep up the great work!

[@tabletoptactics]

Thanks for the support and welcome on board!

[@willstev4130]

That nighthaunt army is the stuff of desire. So terrific.

[@mattkowalyk9066]

Just a heads up, when you're eating a spell with the Banshees, it is a roll to beat the casting value of the spell, not what your opponent rolled. Also, for ever 4 banshees, you get +1 to that roll as well :) Love seeing AoS on the channel!

[@Atlas_Tsuna]

Absolutely amazing, those Nighthaunt are so spooky they even cursed all the equipment! Shoutout to Chef for doing his best to combat the curse

[@jumkah]

Just wanted to thank Fletcher for the idea of painting the tomb banshee as a woman burned on the pyre! Been playing nighthaunt for a few years, but had zero interest in painting it until I saw that paint scheme. Imma gonna borrow that idea 😊

[@corvaxblackfeather6529]

Those Nighthaunts are AWESOME looking and absolutly stylish :) Thanks for showing those wonderfull models to us EDIT : Dragonriders are absolut GOLD. We need more of them... mooooorrrrreeee

[@petekirchner9959]

congrats to Fletcher! Those painted Nighthaunt look absolutely amazing

[@scottboyer8450]

I think points should have been awarded to that Nighthaunt army for being so astonishingly well painted and based.

[@matthewlongmuir4537]

Fletchers work is simply stunning!

[@thelionsam]

Watching Beard'n Bard play reminds me of Thom Yorke dancing to 'Lotus Flower' Never know what's coming and I can't look away 🙂 Very fun watch 💚

[@tabletoptactics]

This might be the best comment I’ve received to date 😅 - Beard

[@irishjesus3927]

Holy cow, that was a blast to watch! You two are hilarious and were genuinely having a wonderful time! I love that you added little animations, text commentary, acting out little bits, and not taking yourselves too seriously. Just fantastic:)

[@kl1thedominion]

Great battle report, guys! Fletcher outdid himself with those gorgeous Nighthaunts. What they don't tell you is the Sword of Stolen Hours is stealing said hours from your equipment's battery-life. 😂

[@Jaws.of.Fenrir]

Those Nighthaunt are phenomenal!

[@thepastrychef8014]

Aren't they just!

[@MrDefender1234]

Absolutely Amazing game but I think my favorite bit is the fact you guys used Beards screams as sound bits for the little shooting animation for the Banshee and stuff, got me everytime hahahaha. Like always the Hillarious and Quality Editing adds the Cherry on top of the already High Quality and Fun Battle Report! ~!GHOSTS!~

[@MrNasher113]

When you’re so early the Ads are just pictures of a man on an exercise bike 😂

[@buffpaffpiff]

Beard's killing it in this battlereport !!! even his own mic and some people say even his camera... 🤣

[@thepastrychef8014]

🤣

[@michaelstrange2285]

Nighthaunt!! I've got a decent army of them in my pile, and this batrep (and paintjob) are giving me some serious inspiration. Fletcher has done a phenomenal job.

[@cordial001]

Those Stormcast look so nice painted with the purple accent. Good game too - well done both you guys

[@cmleibenguth]

In 1.0, SCE with that scheme were called the Lions of Sigmar

[@matthewrider267]

What if you wanted to use the Lord-Imperitant / Annihilator combo, but the mission said:

[@ryanstout8634]

10:18 into the video has got to be one of the funniest edits/ bits you guys have done. Love the channel; players, style, presentation and energy. Always a fun watch

[@MisterDragon]

Yay! More AoS! I'm just an WHFB/AoS pleb who despite attempts can't seem to get into and enjoy 40K so I'm happy to see the continued coverage and expansion of the AoS side.

[@jdtru1808]

I love Nighthaunt, maybe even more now after seeing Fletcher's painting. Scriptor Mortis and the Tomb Banshee will look spectacular on your shelf, where they should stay for any other games.

[@Gwalchjuni]

You guys are really hilarious. I mean the models are beautifully-painted, but the entertainment value is off the charts. 🤣

[@baronbreakfast4681]

Doing a great job with the AoS coverage. Always tough learning a new army, I imagine it’s doubly difficult on camera.

[@Krealot]

That ending with the Scriptor Mortis, like the scene out of Pirates of Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Lord Imperetant, our debt is settled!

[@jak3thed0g3]

I love searching for age of sigmar gameplay and just finding two grown men devolving into madness and insanity

[@trystanthornton5434]

Can we please change James's name from Bard to Calamity as I just love how spectacular he can fail rolls

[@thepastrychef8014]

🤣

[@simonberndt2015]

Best looking armies on the KZbins!

[@madskull13]

Lawrence has to be controlling some kind of hostage situation. Fletcher paints like a man with something to lose

[@timjupp2334]

They get very high-pitched and very animated when they get excited

[@OGdutch973]

The main “fortress” of the Stormcast is the Sigmarabulum. It’s an actual space station that looks like ringed city, orbiting around Mallus, the molten core of the world that was

[@giovannisantostasi9615]

You did an amazing job on the miniatures, just incredible.

[@humphrey09applebee61]

I love the Nighthaunts and Fletcher did an awesome job painting, as usual, you sir are insane! I am looking forward to the Black Coach! Storm Boys also lovely and James, please get rid of the purple dice, they are clearly jinxed!

[@lordcastellan6091]

That nighthaunt army is gorgeous

[@robertviscomi8199]

Absolutely amazing. Sigmar is so much and has amazing sculpts. The rules are clean and fun and you guys looked like you had an awesome time. With the new ghb out you guys have A LOT of stuff to play try test and have fun with. Easy sub. Keep the aos stuff coming please.

[@mindyfranke5279]

Such an awesome paint job on those Nighthaunt!

[@longhorn3144]

I’m not sure that the scriptor mortis could have judged the lord imperator in turn 5. The rule is that the same soul cannot be judged more than once in the same battle. Beard judged that model in turn 4, so it may be that Beard would not have completed his grand strategy. I’m not sure that the lord imperator could have been listed in the book in the first place as it requires that the model to be listed be in line of sight. It was a great game as these are my two favorite factions in sigmar.

[@ThatGuy-wm8lq]

I thought the same and went to reread the description because that just seems broken if otherwise. But great battle none the less.

[@wolfpox]

What absurdly good cinematography for a tabletop game... That alone has me fascinated!

[@nodrogkram]

Splendid, gentlemen! So much fun, and what an ending ! Stunning, incredible armies.

[@HadoukenHero]

Did very well with new armies. You guys are very fun to watch.

[@RaVNeFLoK]

Absolutely stunning paint jobs. Love the channel!

[@wargamerwilly8756]

Absolutely love the channel! These battle reports are phenomenal and the players are fun and raaaather entertaining! Thanks for the free reports! It helps learning the new rules

[@TheEeeeron]

Sally in the woods is a ghost said to haunt some woods near Bath, for those who don't know

[@majikmindstorm]

Nighthaunt are my favorite army in AOS & 40K. It’s awesome to see them represented so well. Great game 👏🏻

[@heddge7718]

This was a dope video! Would love to see a ton more AOS content in the future🙂

[@jessesutton7985]

Great game regardless of tech issues. Nighthaunt are absolutely gorgeous. The ethereal blues and greens with the burning candles. So great! The finale was wonderful. I think it was never actually mentioned on camera that the Knight of Shrouds was healing and gaining a wound after killing things with his Sword of Stolen Hours. Turn 4 Chef mentioned him healing and being on 8. I'm also not sure if the Spirit Hosts' ability to eat wounds for heroes was ever relevant, but it feels like it probably was for at least a chain lightning. Spooky ghosts have many tricks to keep track of.

[@jamesbrown6941]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned! But if you desecrate with a unit it can’t also contest an objective, it has to be one or the other as it’s treated in the same manner as an objective! Amazing production value, always wowed by the videos!

[@griffin7452]

Beard/Bard games are always a joy.

[@alangodfrey9504]

That Stormcast army is awesome! Very much enjoying AoS batreps. Well done gents! 😊

[@clawhammr666]

Wow, those nighthaunt look absolutely fantastic!

[@RareRiddemz]

That Junglist Massive reference at 1:12:17 was incredible! You guys are full of surprises, innit

[@fraseraffleck6232]

Fletcher is absolutely crushing those Nighthaunt!

[@seileen1234]

The paintjob is amazing

[@mrbowlerhat2456]

Awesome batrep. Well done for remembering the Stormcast explosions. I always for get to do mine.

[@Lord_Vesh]

1:28:49 the sounds of rage uncontrolled, bursting forth from the bowels of the soul

[@MegaApostel]

stunning armies great paint job Really funny battlerep

[@TuneL0wDieSl0w]

This was such a good game and everything looked beautiful! Stoked to start playing my nighthaunt army 😈

[@fabiannissler8351]

Damn awesome! I think i never seen nicer painted Stormcasts! They are a dream own!

[@dennis.the.drummer]

I don't like Sigmar...what I do like is that you guys over at Table Top Tactics have almost changed my mind... Well played gentlemen!

[@thepastrychef8014]

One of us, one of us!

[@samuelgreen2443]

Fantastic game! Nighthaunt just got me into Sigmar (couldn't resist those beautiful models) and it's so good seeing them in action :) Might have to get myself that Book Dude...

[@cmleibenguth]

That Nighthaunt army looks amazing! (The SCE one still looks good too!)

[@efoxneo]

Nighthuant is my top pick for the death units. Looks great and fun to play. Excellent game!

[@joeyfive5245]

Really enjoying the Sigmar bat reps

[@ThijsSchrijnemakers]

this game was amazing, very close. Agreed with Beard; the nighthaunt feel very thematic. And the Book came up more then I expected :D

[@daveburnham7710]

Painting came out fantastic on the spooky bois

[@cmdrwraithe1857]

I have to admit....I really like the AoS models. I dare say that I prefer them to the 40K models. I'll risk being a heretic saying that.

[@Kollider115]

I haven’t seen it yet but, Lady O had the war master trait whivh let’s her count as a general even when not, this is fun because then you can nominate another hero to be a general and get the bonus of a warlord trait Found it, great report as always!

[@piixable]

those Nighthaunt look soooo lovely :O great job!

[@mancavemusings3867]

Rough. Scions of the Storm with Lord Imperatant and Annihilators and no way of putting reserve. Massive strategy kill. Stormcast army was hamstrung before the battle even began, pulling a draw was impressive.

[@StrangeKvol]

Who are you gonna call - teleporting dudes with electric guitars and dragons!

[@noleti]

Amazing paintjob on the Nighthaunt, nice battle report - but that one shaking rock annoyed a tiny bit

[@danza71]

Beaming at the end, love your sigmar content so much!

[@Bazanti]

I enjoy this Age of Sigmar content so much! 🎉

[@jonny_leach]

Looking forward to this matchup so much! These are my two AOS armies!!!

[@owlthemolfar4690]

Thank you for the battle report! This game is brought to you by 7-inch charges!

[@itzyaboishannon]

This was such a fun watch! Gorgeous armies!

[@leegoesrunning281]

That was a cracking ending to an awesome battle

[@MysterySemicolon]

"I'm the devil on your shoulder..." I vote the Endless Spell be renamed to Capricious Spirit.

[@Averagejoepainting]

I’m excited to watch the nighthuants! Would love to here what you guys think about them. They are the army I’m interested in getting for AoS.

[@corbingovers7559]

They're a good army for starting the game. They have basically one strategy, run forward and smash the enemy before they smash you. Whole army can retreat and charge and fly and most of the important buff pieces can teleport. Movement and smash face.

[@Averagejoepainting]

@@corbingovers7559 cool! Thanks for the information

[@corbingovers7559]

@johnny wardlaw the only "must" for nighthaunt is magnetic storage. The models are very spindly and can catch and break if you go the foam or shoebox method. That being said they're also surprisingly sturdy even if some models wiggle a LOT on the base, they can take normal movement and painting just fine.

[@oliverschaaf5454]

Really dig this battlereport. ❤ Those Ghosts look amazing!

[@DarkMorningFilms]

Hell yhea!!! More AoS :) Much love to you and all that make these happen!~

[@sean_meldrum]

SOUL WARS GRUDGE MATCH BAY-BEEEEE

[@sycho331]

Glad to see more Sigmar on the channel! Btw, this was the worst battleplan to pick to show off these two armies, lol

[@wensier1413]

U guys r great! Keep it up! 🔥🔥💪

[@NicoBnuuy]

Absolutely loving the sigmar games! Definitely got me interested in playing

[@thepastrychef8014]

It's a lot of fun!

[@dementiamaster12]

Awesome armies and I guess Fletcher must have painted them both in like a day lol.

[@richardchapman842]

scriptor is a brilliant paint job

[@richarddixon1450]

Both armies are absolutely beautiful 😍

[@skreechverminking2227]

Love the battle report. Say… We will ever see some sneaky danger from beneath turn up on your tables?

[@ratman505]

That's a lot of 5s on those ward saves. Really hurts to see

[@Fraxxo21]

When you roll a 1 for a Prayer you suffer 1 mortal wound!

[@GalanThings]

god this Nighthaunt is gorgeous. Looking at it makes me want to buy my own xD

[@SlainBlackguard]

We need to get Chef a cape and a sound fx board with whooshing noises

[@thepastrychef8014]

🤣

[@MegaOblivionmaster1]

Not AoS related but if you guys have one, would love to see like a mastodon or something FW tank for IWs since now those super tanks get legion traits so am curious about how they would do.

[@YaBoiii666]

What a finish 👏

[@MrCaryk]

What colors were used on the spirit host???

[@victorstoltz1232]

GHOSTS! That sure is a pretty paint job.

[@hampusjakobsson7551]

6s to hit for Nighthaunt goes straight thru to saverolls.. even with shooting

[@thepastrychef8014]

Indeed, which is how we played it 🙂

[@acid_TV]

amazing batrep

[@philipblades3213]

Sadly I don't play sigmar much anymore, but I've always had a soft spot for nighthaunt
