Nurgle Daemons vs Imperium; 8th edition Warhammer 40k battle report

A matched battle report

[@samb.8134]

That massive Nurgle explosion killing off 2,5 Termies, a Dreadnought, and a Dreadknight... 10/10 would plague bomb again.

[@randallstevens7472]

Recently introduced to your channel. Just wanted to say that I'm a big fan of what you're doing here. Quality wargaming, great commentary, and to-the-point content. I especially love the attention paid to the general fluff and roleplay of the different factions by you and your guests. It offers a real sense of love for the game. Sure there were some rules mistakes, but who the hell cares? We all make mistakes. As per the old 40k stuff, the golden rule is that everyone has fun, and I genuinely get that sense from every one of your reports. Thanks for providing all of us with this awesome stuff, and keep up the good work.

[@wintersSEO]

+Randall Stevens. Thank you sir

[@coureurdesbois6754]

The nurglings can't save a disgustingly resilient on something that does more than one damage because they are squishy and small.

[@marshallcrocker8239]

true

[@HeelvsBabyface]

This was a great watch =]

[@chavvydave1]

That nurgle army is beautiful 😍

[@ancientalice4965]

Nurgash did you just say nurgle and beautiful in the same sentence?

[@chavvydave1]

Ancient Alice you're darn right! Who wouldn't find that paint job alluring!? Makes me wanna take em out for a nice meal and a glass of wine... 😜

[@ancientalice4965]

Nurgash I wouldn't trust Scabathrax or corbax with a plate of food... A lot of people say that they have bad eating habits.

[@liquidwater1133]

I play DAYMONS

[@leoiskind4109]

Ur comment pleases nurgle

[@CowCao747]

That Cor'bax explosion has sold me on the model!

[@danielcraig4158]

I play D&D weekly and always been curious about 40k. I am absolutely hooked on watching your videos! I really want to get into 40k now! Been obsessively watching all your videos, Love them!

[@HammerheadWOC]

You utilized the dice re-roll twice in that first psychic phase. :(

[@dandegr]

HammerheadWOC true you can command point to reroll a sigle die per turn phase

[@krom4773]

It was the same phase, but, hey, 6 months ago.

[@83sinji]

Winters. Rookie Mistake. The Grand Master (Both NDK & Terminator variants) only get to take 1 Psychic Power and Smite but can cast both each turn. I totally forgive you though as I stuffed this up myself for quite a few games as well.

[@hardrockfreak1337]

In the first fight phase the wounds don't spill over. His toad lost a wound against the rules.

[@giovannidistefano8486]

the nurgle player was absolutely, fricking, disgustingly lucky :/ It was as if hed 4+ saves, not 5+ :/

[@lucifig_prime]

That was more rolls of a 6 that I've seen in my last 5 games combined. Crazy.

[@MrFukushim]

Well, 5+ with disgustingly resilient is statistically better than a 4+ invuln

[@giovannidistefano8486]

mnotu True, 55%, but i meant to say That It was like he had 50% on each individual save, so 75%! and i Guess you Can agree That he was saving approx 3\4 of the wounds!

[@papanurgle8393]

LUCK HAD NUTHIN TAH DEW WIT IT!!

[@Altheion]

I have a friend that soaks about 25 DMG every game with his death guard. Minimum.

[@artwagner6982]

Beautiful Nurgle army. Excellent game, fun to watch. Keep it up winters!

[@trrebi981]

In their first true joint operation, the Primaris Marines of the 13th join with the Grey Knights of Titan. Here to represent the returned, faithful prodigals of 13th Legion, they have much to prove to their new, nomadic brethren. And what better way than to smash the Oldest of Enemies? Under strict orders from Guilliman, as Regent of Terra, the Grey Knights have agreed to not shoot the Primarises down after the battle, as they are wont to do. They shall join in the purging of Nurgle daemons, who are preparing to unleash pandemics on any Imperial Segmentun they can. Even in this time of strife, no carrion feasting Nurglite shall find a festering Imperium to infect. They shall witness the cleansing flames of old guard, and the newest sword of the wandering loyalists. Ave Imperator! Glory to the 13th!

[@wintersSEO]

+Tristan Bigornia. Great comment

[@paulhumphries7246]

Great vids, loving the content. So funny the way you always call them "incestors" - I think slaanesh has been corrupting you!

[@slaythegreyplastic9604]

A surprising ending. I thought this was so one sided after round 1! Really good Battle Report as usual. Its amazing what one phase of one turn in an opponents turn can do!

[@Ryclopes_]

ive spent the last 3 weeks watching all your battles and ive learnt so much ! thank you for all the great content! :) keep up the amazing work!

[@wintersSEO]

+ryan anderson. Thank you Mr Anderson

[@jrRabet]

winters SEO matrix refrence? lol

[@liquidwater1133]

Im sorry , buuut it is learned not learnt

[@LardXray]

I had plans for today... Had..... Thank you Winters

[@Ninj4Squirtle]

I love steve. And you winter's! Wish youse lived close. Mwah. Xx

[@wintersSEO]

+The Dark Artisan. I love Steve too. He's an awesome opponent

[@stevenotrob6513]

The Dark Artisan we love you too Harry.

[@liquidwater1133]

The Dark Artisan you emo fuck

[@davidszkipala9550]

Epic battle especially the right side when things went nuclear. Steve's army was so convincingly painted I had to stop eating my breakfast (:

[@stevenotrob6513]

David Szkipala thank you

[@VexedOcelot]

Love your battle reports Winters! Your stuff keeps me entertained for hours! You also always have world class boards! Love it!

[@wintersSEO]

+Cody Lavoie. Thanks dude

[@mrsaltyburns9445]

How do u remember ALL them rules wow

[@owentucker1809]

Ouch Mouse the trick is, they don’t

[@H3fty01]

Quite sure those odd joker dice are loaded. Re-watching all their rolls shows that they roll perfect way to often. my2cents

[@H3fty01]

Actually those strange joker dice are 100% loaded. You should mark this guy as a cheater.

[@markpollard2878]

Wow. That Nurgle army looks genuinely disgusting. Such fantastic artwork. Props to the painter.

[@coureurdesbois6754]

Both armies look. Fierce! I lik your infantry evy lit woth good range an good close combat and close firefight ability. Really nice. I love the color schemes for the 13th and the fluff to!

[@greenjoseph4]

Pistols in the shooting phase? Those hellblasters have pistols don't they?

[@Joulsen]

Hellblaster have got pistols.

[@brettjoy2744]

check that guys dice..... waaaaaay to lucky :O

[@HeartofAiur]

Winters please do not forget about your rerolls with your grandmaster!! He may be in Dreadknight but he is still a Grandmaster!

[@jhnlk]

So gross. So good. Thanks Steve & thanks Winters!

[@REVOisMYname]

Damage values only affect the individual model wounded. Those plague toads were wounded with 1 attack with 3 damage - only - of the toads would have taken any damage even though it was on 1 wound

[@Vatniks_are_clowns]

very well painted, both sides

[@weemanling]

30:47 Wounds wouldn't have carried over. The 3 damage is still per model, you just get 3 changes to try and reduce it.

[@AtomicLord81]

I would love to play against you sometime, especially on your amazing battle scenery.

[@TB-ps6wc]

Hahaha "get to the chopper"! (Love the Schwarzenegger quote at the end.)

[@connorvinas1473]

Your Hellblasters forgot to fire their pistols into combat. Pull out your sidearms and put it the their temples!

[@heimvar]

HAHAHAHAHA HIGH COMMAND SAID "OLD YOUR GROUND AND MAY THE EMPERORS LIGHT GUIDE YOU" wow was a rough turn 6

[@williamholland1035]

Great video! I believe the Dreadnought could fire it's weapons at -1 to hit even after it fell back, due to having Ultramarines chapter tactics.

[@austinkreulach9295]

41:49. Absolutely five failures, not four. Would probably have killed another intercessor.

[@timbacus9698]

If you're going to give the Librarian the Curious of Sacrifice you should remember your Feel no Pain rolls.

[@whythre]

Fantastically close game and was lots of fun to watch! Ave Nurgle!

[@bobsmith3710]

Great game very close, could have been closer if you remembered the blue chapter tactics for the 2nd company. Fun to watch green things flow across the table like that

[@shaggycan]

17:20 nothing like pulling a hundred dollars worth of models off before they even do anything. 40K needs a massive overhaul, I'm sorry, I love the game, but we all know it does.

[@chedydanza4704]

I like how you manipulate the people with a CP. you have stole his comand point on teh beggin I falt bad for him:D:D:D

[@razmeanie4519]

Every time you call the intercesors the incestors I wonder how the Lannisters became Astaertes

[@dudefaceperson7422]

I don't play this game but why do the terminators get to attempt to charge in twice after you failed to charge? how many chances to you get to charge your opponents enemies,... until you succeed?

[@blueyetuo]

Maybe add some disgusting weathering to the 2co survivors?

[@yesiamarussianbot3076]

Disgustingly resilient and smite are whey too overpowered, it just becomes annoying because of those two things.

[@Jew_Gi_Oh]

So does Warhammer 40K ever end? Every war has to have a winner and a loser. I mean the Eldar are literally endangered and are a dying race that are going extinct. Why don't all the other factions just ally with eachother and exterminate the Eldar once and for all?

[@johnnymoreno5551]

Reminder that wounds dont carry over unless they are mortal wounds or have a special rule like flails. But it was a very fun batrep to watch

[@gozewstuffnthings5837]

Come on, ya british! Say lieutenant right ;) Nice batrep as per usual!

[@elwyndasslayer5119]

LOL, they do. It's the folks of North America who say it different.

[@rebelkommando6166]

I think you misspelled "correctly"

[@dime4026]

Nurgle really needs it's codex. They have no offence

[@thecarrasius]

The word "Nurgle" just sounds best in a west-country accent :)

[@andrewwoodward7579]

I just watched this again. I remember watching it back n day. Acr

[@francoispetrucci4867]

Ultramarines dreadnoughts can fall back and still shoot with a -1 to hit.

[@solortus]

Beautifully painted! Amazing

[@smallreddragon7113]

Tactical Nuke Demon Prince :P

[@WraithRaider]

I would have put money on the demon hunters winning that game...

[@cataclysmunknown7110]

The plague drone should of overwatched

[@machinegodthefam6868]

If the demons fail there zombie saves then thay can go straight to there demon save

[@papanurgle8393]

Good job boys

[@ChampionofTerra]

This is perfect! I have a game versus nurlge soon! And here I saw what to expect from them ^^D Thanks you Winters!

[@yongjin96]

Stop forgetting your pistols man

[@inscrutablewut]

the chaos army that plays like custodes

[@IDICBeer]

Awesome game guys, enjoyed that :D

[@hekkta]

41:50 does a 1 succeed or something?

[@kida4313]

Christ that was unlucky

[@Ghost3210]

Nurgle truly loves his children ... why else would he have the only start collecting box that has all good and viable units and (same as all demons) is useable in both WH40K and AoS ... my hobby budget is greatly pleased by this heresy xD

[@devondunseth8619]

Huh I never knew that nurgles had bugs, or the crab guy. Neat. And also terrifying.

[@bearded_death_machine3592]

Fantastic game, gents. That Disgustingly Resilient save is very powerful. Although, Steve did roll a huge number of 5's and 6's.

[@bringcocoa2579]

Nurglings only recieve disgustingly resilient against weapons with strength 1

[@inquisitorzane3815]

What mat was used. It looks really cool

[@wintersSEO]

+Zane Barbeau. It's from Gamemat.eu

[@connorvinas1473]

Your Dread can shoot after falling back with Ultrasmurf tactics. Hitting on 5's after brackets, but still.

[@benlolmaugh4256]

Great battle. No salt.

[@markburgess4528]

Enjoyed that. Can I ask who makes your gaming mat\surface please? Cheers! Edit. Hi sorry realised it's a game at product.

[@samuelclements5920]

Awesome game guys. Very exciting. I love seeing Grey Knights lose TBH XD

[@jusztinnemeti6380]

You said you where using Ultramarines chapter tactics. At 48:00 you could have fired the dread after retreating at minus one to hit. Damn, with rules so simple there is no excuses for forgetting anymore, sir ;-)

[@Shergers]

Loved the report, very cool armies (nurgle army very unique!). He missed a few rules on the forgeworld things though (they have so many rules each, such as -1 save throws to vehicles near the plague hulk against the dreadknight and dreadnaught and cor'bax has the tesla rule on his attacks) but end of the day made no diff =)

[@robknipsael6526]

For the Grey Knights player. Never mix Grey Knights with a other army play always pure Grey Knights. And if i may give You a hint. Play lord kaldor drago and Grand master voldus together. Believe me that combo is very strong

[@Killlerofthings]

Great game, i like that it was not over from the start. Id not expected it to go the way it had. I kinda feel like there needs to be a house rule that ALL troops have Objective Secured, tell their codex comes out stating otherwise. Really gives the armies with Ob.sec a healthy advantage over Index armies. When your four terminators were fighting the 10 man Plaguebearer squad, you implied that something along the line of the wounds value of the weapons did not matter because there was no spill over. But would the wound value not apply to the number of Disgustingly Resilient saves he needed to make? Even a 1 wound model getting hit with a 6 wound Lascannon still needs to make the 6 saves and pass them all to survive, i think? Also i think you forgot to smite with that squad for the second half of the game, or maybe you just did not show it.

[@hellohello7838]

Stare up till midnight watching this batrep - really enjoyed

[@holymanbob9491]

An impossible to kill Nurgle army? Heck yes, that's my jam!

[@tuatarafromnz5303]

Wonderfully painted armies and I love the pose you have given the Dreadnought.

[@d2tz]

14:43 I believe you can only use one command point per phase, previously in the turn you used one to avoid perils of the warp.

[@killa1731]

junge godzilla 2 werbung ist krass

[@themanabroad7800]

When your grey knights attacked the plague bearers on the flank, you should've resolved the thunderhammer wounds seperately because he would've potentially had to save 3 or 6 resilient saves

[@teirwin]

In 8th edition, Don't nurglings only get disgusting resilience against 1 damage, not 3 damage.

[@99thDoom]

Great game! Mono-god armies usually bore me, but this one was interesting as it was Nurgle, and I use Nurglings myself. Interesting to see how they and the Plaguebearers do. I'm surprised how tough the Nurglings were - do the Nurglings get DR against Damage 2+ weapons? I don't have my book handy, but I thought they had some rule about that. Anyways, I love your reports, and have just subscribed.

[@wintersSEO]

+99thDoom. No they should not have had DR against 2+ weapons

[@Azagzel]

Those big demons are really scary! Even if winters had managed to kill the smaller one without dying himself, there was no way in hell he would have taken out Scabeiathrax. Its only downside is its lack of mobility.

[@mariusloesch820]

at 51:30 the dreadnought actually could have fired because of ultramarines tactics I believe.

[@grantbetts9123]

Wow that was hardcore violence. I think perhaps the libby was a bit of a suicide that was not needed. Also perhaps sinking all those points into intercessors might have been better spent with some standard marines or scouts with sniper rifles to get more shots or popping that herald as soon as. Still Nurgle daemons are tough and your tactic of letting them come on and giving ground was working up until Korbalax splattered himself all over the Dreadknight and redemptor dready.lol

[@ethanblevins1116]

Ahead of its time

[@robertleigh400]

Ice Cream Truck!

[@blueyetuo]

I was going to 'dammit winters', but it was close, sooo close. Well played both!

[@fedebacchiega]

I belive you may be not understanding how wounds are distribuited in this editon. When wounding with a weapon wich deals more then one damage, roll the sainvings separately for each model. It's not AOS: wounds do not spread to other models. If the nurgle toad has only one wound and you deal 3 wounds with a single hammer blow only that one toad dies and that's it.

[@chewie948]

I think the 13th 1st company need to show the 2nd AND the Grey knights how it's done.

[@KIA130123]

good stuff.

[@insguy]

Enjoyed this very much! Damn those Demons are scary!

[@EAfirstlast]

I'm not sure how much marshaling demons do with crates and barrels :P

[@x3rman]

Love how some lesser nurgle demons are actually on the death guard codex, so we can field some marines and nurglings/plaguebearers
