Orks vs Tyranids Warhammer 40,000 Battle Report 1080p

[@C4PT_Lucky]

Love the table and both armies! Really liked that you kept the video under an hour. I always watch orks and battle reports that are under an hour.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot mate! Cheers for watching and for spreading the love 🤘🤘

[@lukastroller3730]

among everything that is damn awesome about this channel, the music is one thing that I find particularly cool! great job bro

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot man, I'm truly glad you like it!. Hopefully i can keep pumping out good batreps that live up to such high praise! :) thanks bro!

[@meatybtz]

Those nids are beautifully painted. You need more subs and views. Your format is good. The table quality is good. The model paint quality is great. All in all your production is first rate. I'd rather watch you than a Miniwargaming bat rep for instance.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Dude thanks! That's a really awesome compliment! :) I'm only new to posting batreps on here so hopefully the channel grows in time :) Thanks again mate!

[@williamknight3220]

Nathaniel Schultz completely agree with this, this channel definitely deserves more subs

[@EmperorsCrusade]

thank you dude! 😃

[@benmgiust]

The little candles in the explosions are such a nice touch. Really enjoyed this report.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it! I miss 7th edition 😥

[@TheNobodyspecific]

Superb armies, beautiful terrain (I especially love the moss on the buildings), and the choice of background music really set this batrep apart from the others that I've seen over the years. Instant sub.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

awesome feedback! thanks a lot mate! welcome to the channel! first 8th ed batrep being filmed tomorrow 😊

[@TheNobodyspecific]

Amazing! Can't wait!

[@sfxmacmurray245]

Beautiful armies. Beautiful table, Great editing and great camerawork. This channel will go far if you keep this level of quality up!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot bro! 😃 epic compliment! I'll do my best!

[@Sixpennysage]

love it! Great quality, and you're stage presence is coming together very well. I like the shorter battle report style too. beautiful armies on both sides as well

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks for the comment mate! getting better slowly but surely! :) cheer mate thanks for watching :D

[@noprobllama9747]

Scenery looks amazing, the greenery makes a lot of difference towards bringing the battlefield alive.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks man. Yep, battles are infinitely more fun on great terrain 😀

[@combatwombat2134]

Really great content, just found your channel. Extremely good looking armies, good camera work, great table and your commentary is squared away. Subscribed!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot man! really glad you like it! welcome to the team! 😃

[@combatwombat2134]

Yeah, really enjoyed it! I like the composition of the armies, they seem balanced and equally footed, something I've taken issue with with the likes of Miniwargaming in the past. They do good batreps, but it often seems like things are tailored to win. Do you have a Facebook page, Twitter, etc? I've got a few friends who enjoy Warhammer batreps and I think your content will be just up their street, too.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

I absolutely agree with you. we love playing balanced games that present a tactical challenge to the players rather than overpowered armies that play the game for you. I'm hoping that 8th edition addresses some of the issues with he use of formations and cheese like that. I have Facebook at also instagram. search for Emperors_crusade and it should pop up. 😊 cheers mate!

[@dinocha0s]

Those nids look sick man , the blue black really kinda fits em like xenomorph type color scheme and love the warriors killing the guardsmen and imperial fist lol

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Haha yeah I love how Steve's painted them and modeled them. turns out I accidentally broke the guardsmen off with the mic cable during the game 😖

[@labontis6132]

Beautiful table/miniatures, beautiful army selection as well! Love the tropical plants (harken back to older editions). Awesome stuff man!

[@labontis6132]

(SUPER refreshing to see lists like this!)

[@EmperorsCrusade]

thanks a lot man! 😃 yeah we have been gaming a long time now. we enjoy the classic way of playing before formations and crap like that. Loving the sound of 8th edition!

[@CalibungaDude]

wow those armies are painted very well. Keep making battle reports with these armies!!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

thanks a lot man! 😃 plenty to come!

[@little_isalina]

its refreshing seeing two fluffy looking and well modelled and painted armies go at each other. Nice batrep.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot mate! 😃

[@Icarus078]

Two awsome looking armies and lots of fun units. This was a real pleasure to watch.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks man! I appreciate you saying so 😊

[@AlexanderLewis0]

Subbed. Beautiful board, great bat rep, great armies. Hope your channel gains some traction, really solid work.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

thanks mate! I hope so too! excited for 8th edition to that we can also start using units that were redundant in 7th ed. 😃

[@ImaginationHobbies]

this was an awesome report! beautiful armies, great backstory to the mission!

[@quazzap2815]

Great batrep man, subscribed for more!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Sweet man thanks! 😃

[@thegeneralscall]

You know what would be a really interesting battlefield to try and play a game on. A skyscraper fight that had like two or three layers that you can fight along using stairs, half-collapsed roofing and scaffolding. A real tight and clustered map as well, like a 3x3 or even 2x2 with tons of cover and shot-blockers to fight around and use.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

HAHA! sounds brutal. what a mission to build such a table though!! :D

[@kdggntz5599]

Those are some of the best looking Tyranids I've ever seen!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

They are indeed great looking nids!.. ill passs your praise onto Steve :)

[@anomalousproductions3747]

Wow. Just wow, everything about this bat rep is amazing. The terrain/map is very cool, and man, THOSE TYRANIDS. btw this Tyranid army is what inspired me to start my own :-)

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks so much dude for the awesome feedback! yeah i love steves tyranids.. theyve always been a key part of our hobby :D more to come of them soon!

[@jtjr26]

Nice battle report format. Not too long and drawn out. Not the biggest fan of Tyranids but their paint job is incredible.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks man! Glad you liked it! I think this one is all the way back in 7th edition! 😲

[@codyhastings5717]

I was going to comment about the amazing nids myself, glad to see others appreciating it lol

[@EmperorsCrusade]

haha yeah Steves nids are amazing.. hes also very experienced in playing with them, im lucky to have escaped this game alive!! :)

[@nicolasflamelflamel]

Hello, Simon!! This is the first time I had ever commented on your videos. Outstanding production, I might say. Your paintjob on your Orks is marvellous. It would be nice if you could post a showcase video here and there of your conversions, like the Trukks, and particularly Gibsmasha. That's the proper way to convert an AoS Megaboss into a Warboss!! I had seen your previous battle reports when you faced Fists and the Guardsmen, I think it's well deserved that you got a victory in this one. Please keep sharing this lovely content. I'm so glad I had found another Ork enthusiast who shares such quality content. Probably the following will be obvious, but needless to say, do you know StrikingScorpion82's channel? He has Orks as well, but he uses a pretty different list from yours (kinda a Kult of Speed themed army). I'd love to see how your Orks improve in the next edition of the game! Last, but not least, keep up with those amazing gaming tables! Your terrain is great. Much more colorful and well converted and varied than Miniwargaming's and Tabletop Tactics', which are so underwhelming. May we see different tables in the upcoming future? Subbed!!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

WOW! thank you for that awesome comment. I'm so glad you're enjoying the content! i love making it its a lot of fun. Orks are just too much fun not to collect them in large numbers! :D i think theyll be amazing in 8th edition and look forward to seeing them succeed again! Ill be in japan for a couple of weeks next month, by the time i get back 8th should have dropped and ill be able to film some tactic videos for orks and also maybe some showcase videos for you :) yes i know scorpion82, hes brilliant, love his channel and he was who inspired me to make my own videos. love his orks too. we play them differently but his are very effective :)

[@Moseth7606]

Great stuff guys! My first watch of yours and definitely not my last, subbed! Only comment...display your army's on a separate table as doing it this way detracts from both the great paint work and your excellent table! hi fives though! 🙌

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot man! great tip! Will do on the next battle 😃 cheers!

[@marklapage167]

any chance of you doing some vlogs about the conversions you've done/are doing, love to see a closer look at that Megaboss conversion

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Hey man that's a great idea!.. let me start work on that today! cheers! 😊

[@bao-ty1xs]

well done! I love the terrain.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot! me too.. its awesome to play on :D

[@coryshepherd2802]

Both armies are beautifully painted and look amazing, would love to see this match-up again for 8th edition.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks man! Yes us too! 😊

[@rousselalexandre1653]

humm sorry im frenche 8:03 is what super kramer ? or ?

[@RobertLPemberton]

Where did you read Bombing Runs are allowed after jinking? It's a blast, which you cannot snap fire.

[@Leisurelee53]

as much of a piano fan as I am, was strange to have an ork mob introduced to soothing keystrokes. imagining orks in smoking jackets in a lounge somewhere I say git, those two squads you have there, by chance do they have eavy armor? by mork good sir you are right! and though that truck looks loik a proper battlewagon I assure you it's merely a snazzed up trukk. Good show old grot!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

haha nice one bro 😊

[@404-h6d]

Both armies look great, the format is really well done and your voice is really clear (what Mike do you use?) overall a great video.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot for the feedback mate! plenty more to come! got a 3-way smash up coming next week :D

[@EmperorsCrusade]

sorry, and i use just a Rode (powered) lapel microphone plugged straight into the camera :)

[@julianfarnum1079]

Awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot man!

[@alexg2933]

Could you show how you painted your ork boyz and nobz? They look fantastic!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Sure will mate! just finished filming a tutorial on painting them. should be live in a couple of days 😃 thanks!

[@alexg2933]

Emperor's Crusade Thanks bro! Can't wait to see it!

[@muricanblubber]

great paintjob on the orks. are there any stills to look at?

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks mate! you can find me on instagram emperors_crusade .. there are quite a few stills of my orks if you go a few months back :)

[@tutitam3005]

How you made this amazing terrain?

[@EmperorsCrusade]

hi mate.. the terrain was made and painted by terraforge 😃

[@antiproguy]

I really enjoy these battle reports, altough i dont know much about the rules. I would like more space marines (i just thinl they look the best), but i also LOVE orks. But thats not the point. I would like to ask you: how many armies do you have?

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks mate. glad you're enjoying them! I currently have 4 armies. two small (necrons and tau) and two large (Orks and imperial guard). I recently sold 3 of my other armies, grey knights, eldar, and space marines. I'm also working on another space marine force now. 😃

[@antiproguy]

Glad to hear about the space marines and the tau!

[@grandshanks5273]

Where'd you get the terrain? Cool armies btw

[@EmperorsCrusade]

thanks mate! the terrain was made and painted for me by TerraForge. check them out on facebook. 😄

[@olehinn3168]

Ohhhh I cant wait to see the guard in the next battle ;D

[@EmperorsCrusade]

it'll be glorious! 😃 I'll try to make the emperor proud!

[@olehinn3168]

as every good Guardsman should! ;D

[@wamphyrie7961]

Doth mine ears deceive me or do I detect an Aussie accent? Recent subscriber from Darwin, Northern Australia, keep up the good work guys.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Hehe we can’t hide anywhere can we 😆 Indeed, we are down in Perth 😊 thanks for watching bro!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Im from Perth WA :) youre spot on!

[@porcu12345]

The Carnifex still had his feel no pain from Catalyst during the combat vs the Killa Kans btw, could have survived and wiped the unit next combat round, especially with one of them missing it's Klaw and being on one hull point.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

you're so right!! thanks for pointing that out! I'll tell Steve to roll 3 dice and I'll let you know what would have happened! 😃

[@porcu12345]

It's pretty tough to keep up with all the buffs and debuffs when psychic heavy lists are on the table. After playing an Eldar vs Grey Knights game and forgetting half the spells I immediately ordered a bunch of tokens.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

tokens are a great idea! where'd you get them?

[@noprobllama9747]

Could I ask what colour scheme is on your nids? I think it's black armour and dark green skin, but double checking on account of me colour blindness.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Actually they’re not my nids, they’re Steve’s. But he has very dark blue armour with a dull black brown flesh. I think he drybrushed the flesh with a light brown over black and then shades with brown shade. The armour is painted the darkest of blues and then highlighted with progressively brighter blues. He is also colour blind 😊

[@noprobllama9747]

Emperor's Crusade ha ha cool, thanks for the clarification. I took screenshots and had a chat with folks at local Gw store. Settled on a dryad bark brown skin and a Naggaroth night blue for the armour. Thanks for the inspiration guys.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Awesome mate! Good luck with them 😊

[@gregboxall3235]

Both armies look fantastic

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks a lot man. Appreciate it 😊

[@ObjectiveAnalysis]

Wow dem nids do... love the colour scheme! Both armies beautifully painted as always. Love the narrative driven games by the way - I hate it when people play random/meaningless objectives, it really takes away from the immersion in my opinion.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

thank you mate! we totally agree, we enjoy battles fought for good reasons. lots of goodies to come with 8th edition narrative play 😊

[@ObjectiveAnalysis]

Emperor's Crusade looking forward to it! Keep up the great work. Love the terrain/board this week by the way, the ruined jungle city is really well executed 👌

[@EmperorsCrusade]

thanks again man! 😃

[@ChampionofTerra]

Those tyranids are stunning!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

They are!.. Ill let steve know you like them :)

[@garrickfield3522]

Not 8th?

[@EmperorsCrusade]

This is 7th. Played before 8th release.

[@racspartan1]

Awesome Armies.

[@EmperorsCrusade]

Thanks mate!! 🤘

[@rousselalexandre1653]

epic nice tyranid kill human hand grenade nice job dude ! sorry WHAAAAAAAGHHHHH !!

[@ObjectiveAnalysis]

Your last comment was interesting... should a game of 40k be easy on our brains? That's debatable... if you like complexity and depth then no. If you prefer simplified, quick and easy, then yes. Depends which one you value more really!

[@EmperorsCrusade]

im talking more about an unnecessary level of layered rules that most editioned have had before 8th. things like workibg through the levels of initiative in combat and how many attacks each get etc etc etc.. its not so much a lack of detail i enjoy but more a lack of excessive rules. such is the evolution of every game system. things get smoother abd smoother in time. more time to focus on the amazing stories and unforgetable moments unfolding as each game progresses 😊

[@pasdechance2371]

GREAT tyranid
