22:10: Just want to precise that the Arcane Journal says that to win the blessing via a challenge, you need to kill a character - not any challenge. I think that's a fairly big difference so thought I'd point it out as characters in units can let a champion handle the challenge on their behalf. Thanks for the video, I enjoyed the explanations and how you've adapted your list for your local meta.

Nice of Paul to still get some content out for us while on his descent to see the Titanic.

I realised after when editing I was wearing a blue t shirt so when I added the green screen my shirt vanished 😆

[@adaml2910]

Finally some old world content

[@epic_flail]

More to come too! Hard to juggle everything but it shall remain a focus on channel :)

33:58 Given Vanguard moves happen before the first turn roll-off, isn't a huge risk to put a 700 point unit in the open? One good round of magic missiles and they're dead, particularly the Paladin given how all hits will get allocated randomly in such a small unit.

This is not how cannons work since the faq you can only hit lone characters protected by the lone character rule on direct hits you cant accidentally hit them. Alao flaming banner does nothing againat skellia they have regen but not flameable. Also, you cant switch to hammerhand and also have the regen save you can only switch one apell slot to a signature in either the lore you pick or your faction lore. You also cant put yoeman guard in front of canons. They only can taget spots on the ground they can see and own units block los. However wraping them with akirmishers and leaving some gaps is ok. Implrtant point also. Exiles have a big mirror advantage in a bret heavy meta. While no side can pray in a mirror at the start exiles can still get their blessing back with her mechanic ensuring basically that you have a bless advantage against non grail vow heavy lists. The list looks still really vool though. One more thing you can start you doom block in lance formation they keep skkrmish. So you charge a unit and you kill it or run it down hopefully. At whivh point you restrain after the overrun get a free reform.whivh allows you to switch to skirmish in their backfield.

Also questing knights are strength 4

Thanks for pointing this out and watching the video :) We did realise after due to some of the Old World crowd on our Discord also flagging!!

Sadly, the Vanguard move with the characters, Pegasus Knight is not legal. FAQ page 5, bottom right. Good idea, though I enjoyed the show.

[@MrPaxy69]

Devastated about that. Thanks for pointing it out.

[@tidomann]

That may not be true- as the banner grants the entire unit vanguard- including the characters. That FAQ might have to do with a unit joining a unit with vanguard who they themselves do not get vanguard. There is still hope!

[@GilthosDrakoniss]

Yeah good catch maybe 🤔

[@GilthosDrakoniss]

I really hope you’re right

[@epic_flail]

We have been debating this on discord and looking at faq’s. Current view is that it is legit due to the banner granting it to the unit at start of the game (which the character is in)

[@GilthosDrakoniss]

😊
