@@jtmcdowell2331 I think also the dices betray you way more than they should and Nick saves were way too good. Those greater demons should have been at least half HPs between the first and second turn. Your play was impeccable. The dices were the real culprit today.

Damn that was brutal AF. Almost wish the dice weren't so extreme so we could have seen more tactical play.

Kinda surprised JT doesn't use models like Khaine or the Yncarne. Teleporting out to replace a destroyed unit can be fatal for your opponent if that happens, and halving all damage would be super helpful in a fight like this

[@TheRustaclut0]

Fantastic battle and love to see daemons. Recently swapped to daemons from death guard due to the greater daemons becoming strong! Truly fun to march them big boys up the board

[@1Guitar1joe1]

Don’t think the lists were really fighting fire with fire so to speak. JT probably could have won but went for a strat that relied on killing things and when they just didn’t die he was in bad spots and just got mopped up. Was always the underdog for sure but an amazingly painted army and still a great game to watch. Also these eldar losses are doing us lots of favours to stop people hating on them for being broken and OP 😉 haha.

[@alphaohmega4733]

I´m not an Aeldari fan in either way - but this episode was over after 10-15 minutes. I ended up fast forwarding through the whole video after that, which I usually don´t do.

I have to say, I think important to have it in there to show games where 1 side just brutalizes the other; tell dice stories, after all...

[@scottdevnull5778]

honest question on how to handle games like this, I attended my first tournament last week and had a horribly bad matchup (my chaos knights into voltan with no effective cover for my guys) and the game felt over turn 2 and frankly I was borderline going to pack up (it was the last game of the day) any tips on how to mentally do better and make games like this still feel fun for both my opponent and myself.

[@DanthebobGaming]

I mean part of that sounds like a terrain issue. A tournament table should have enough terrain for effective cover, especially with Knights new ability to shoulder barge through walls. In terms of handling a game like that. I had a game at my last tournament where I did really well with my Dread Mob game 1 and ran right into a 5 Demolisher Cannon Guard list, that game was literally over by turn 2 but we had a good laugh about how absurd it was

[@richarddrost5737]

@scottdevnull5778 You're in a competitive setting, so there's always gonna be a little bit more pressure. To try to help yourself when you feel you're going a little on tilt, try to remember you're still there to play a game, enjoy your hobby. It's not just a simple game, it's one with dice someday the chaos gods just aren't on your side. And to keep it fun, try to figure out what's fun for you. Maybe you like to roll dice so you can just say screw objectives im just gonna shoot and fight. Or maybe you can just try having a conversation with your opponent, take the edge of the match. And maybe sometimes when the opponent isn't working with you, you're not enjoying yourself, you just wanna go home. Maybe then it's ok to just say "I'm sorry, I'm not winning this match and I'm tired so you got this well played"
