*** This match was a bit of an experiment trying out some various ideas & showcasing just the box set in a cinematic way, we'd love to hear any thoughts and feedback you have about it in any regard! ***

[@justcallmeb7277]

As much as I enjoy the feedback from y'all I really like this format, the side image closeup of the models is much appreciated.

[@eliabescotti7449]

I think that the format is quite good. Certainly the video is very well done and works well for small formats - but I guess for bigger formats too, after all everything is there already. I still prefer the longer batreps, mostly because I enjoy watching them for a longer time, they are very well thought, and I love the comments. But this could be a good option for narrative batreps, rather than competitive. I mean, if for any reason you are going to start a campaign... :D

[@robertforsythe7613]

FUSELIERS PLEAAAASE I BEG YOU (if I could I would play cities of Sigmar lol

[@SeasonofWar]

@@robertforsythe7613 got a match with 30 coming out Friday for members!

[@WarpstoneHoarder]

​@@SeasonofWar let's go!!!

[@switterbeet40k]

i am a big fan of this cinematic style. i would love to see more in the future

[@lestrike2707]

Same! Maybe a path to Glory campaign in this style.

[@TheChettrebu]

I really like the new cinematic/narrative take on the video. I think that appeals a lot more to me than the normal videos.

[@lukagarma674]

I almost exclusively play narrative games and love the Cities, and so this was a real treat to watch! I love the changing light effects, it really helped set the scene for the scenario. Can't wait for more!

[@salemsuwareh1643]

Wow! I prefer a narrative lean in general and sure you brought this to life. The terrain, lighting and narration are so immersive and that literal dawn was stunning! Great job!

[@blind020]

hey, great narrative batrep, super well produced. I'd love to see this on the channel more intermittently to break up the 2K format and have a variety. Having it based around the box set is a suuuper cool idea that could really help new army player get a better idea and a quick sneak peak. Finally it's a good tease for the premium content! Thank you for always trying new things, it keeps the channel alive and interesting

[@smooth0perator88]

While I did enjoy the cinematic style and wouldn’t mind seeing more, I personally prefer the 2k matched play style. I will always love a good narrative throw down, but where I play, the competitive matched play scene is 99% of games and your 2k technical bat rep breakdowns really help me become a better player and come to my games with new strategic and list ideas.

[@lestrike2707]

This was amazing. Thank you for making this great narrative battle report! :) To quote Kylo Ren: MORE!

[@SeasonofWar]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rollnycgaming2279]

LOVED this video! My two favorite factions and loved the new narrator. May be your best video yet.

[@baphometsvomitcomet2350]

I love this kinda style! The rules are still flashing up, but putting everything in context narratively like this makes it easier for me to follow if I'm painting or working while I watch

[@mrsnufflelumpyguts6524]

Wonderful! This battle report will go down as one of my favourites this year. Great narrative cinematic game and great lighting, terrain, and mini's. Will definitely look forward to more...

[@cardinalvarsen5781]

The new format blew my mind, it is just what i wanted. I need more. It was very cinematic and narrative but at the same time it gave enough mechanical information to know who was doing what

[@SilentMunk]

This was a really enjoyable format, thank you for posting this

[@cyniccain4161]

This was a really fun watch! I'd love to see the team bring your usual quality to some narrative games, especially as they push the new Dawnbringers settings and books!

[@tombackhouse7271]

I love your channel for the tournament style list but my god man! I would love some more of these. So good ❤

[@SeasonofWar]

Thanks so much - Glad you liked it!

[@Swirling_Leaf]

This was very fun to watch narrative makes it more then just a game, it makes it an experience to watch! Like a short story of a battle in an ongoing war. Also love what you did with the lighting as dawn broke ;)

[@mysidia]

This was very cool, love the format!

[@ViniciusSousa-mt8kw]

I dream with the day we'll have some path to glory campaign with this channel's quality.

[@alexcross5916]

That paint job is absolutely stunning on the CoS models!

[@LordBillygoat]

Loved this style! Could do with a few of these sprinkled throughout videos, hopefully still with the narrative scenarios? The only trouble I had with this video, and it's only a SMALL trouble, was that at some times it was a little too dark to see things sometimes.

[@zemiron]

That was a really fun experiment that I enjoyed quite a bit. I enjoyed seeing a more narrative battle and the production value was quite good. Good job y’all!

[@zatedford]

This was amazing! Love this style and hope you do it again in the future

[@Vonbrow]

Great game - rollercoaster ride! The lighting effects really made it

[@flyingdutchman5583]

I’m all for more narrative battles! Awesome!

[@Astorath04]

This was really awesome! Really like to lighting effects to the narrative!

[@panayiotischaralambous9914]

More of this please! Fantastic delivery of high quality content!

[@zani1925]

Always appreciate your content; keep up the amazing work!

[@philnunn6971]

What a beautifully shot video. Great job all of you

[@SeasonofWar]

Thanks so much Phil, glad you enjoyed it!!

[@biowiener7825]

so first of all this was really good. a nice way to shortly show a game of aos, extremely well made aswell. i do have to say that i enjoy the "normal" battles more, i really like seeing the players talking through the turn and their thoughts behind it, maybe thats because im a bit newer and only play casually with a friend so im always open to learn something. it also has a different atmosphere when you also see the people instead of just the models. 2k games are also prefered but i dont mind if you want to play something different.

[@Gramsci]

I have to say this again, this format is so good. 40K content creators really could learn from this.

[@greyknightsmk]

This style was unreal. I love the in depth gaming tlbatreps, don't get me wrong but this was so good to watch

[@darkdrasil]

Great idea!

[@SamsButterscotch]

Loved this!

[@TStirlingLittle]

An awesome, cinematic, path to glory campaign would get me to subscribe!

[@WarpstoneHoarder]

This was a great watch, but I think I prefer your regular BRs where you discuss how each turn went and why and/or possible strategies. As a new player it's always very informative and entertaining! Maybe there is a way to make things more cinematic or lean into narrative more whilst keeping the end of turn banter?

[@mohastgridlock]

Lovely production as always. My only comment is be careful with synonyms for "destroyed." Decimate can be used either way, but it specifically refers to killing 10% of a population as punishment where other synonyms don't have the same dual meaning.

[@TattooedTabletop]

I really liked it! I always enjoy a bit of narrative to the game, but it was still informative to how the army plays. It'll be great to see 2000 points of it!

[@MrRouggy]

I love this video! Thanks you for the share Jordan! I love the color sheme of the cities. Do you think that you can share the recipe of the colors plz ? Thanks! ;)

[@kylecook5996]

Love this! Will we be seeing more of this in the future? Would be fun to see the PtG Marshall gain in strength and renown until he commands a full 2k force

[@SaltySeadogKP14]

Love this! I'm a big fan of GHB matched play but these are so cool to see!

[@TheNeoanomally]

Thoroughly enjoyed 🎉

[@justpainting]

Any chance of some close ups if the cities models? Your scheme looks nice and I may want to borrow that.

[@arkant2803]

Une excellente vidéo, le meilleur format de vidéo AoS du web ! Awesome as always !

[@kylebrumley9437]

Love this compact format! I think you could push to around 18/20 minutes with a touch more commentary and still hit the sweet spot of "bite sized" just mho

[@Narcian150]

Holy shit, that is a really good voice over. The whole presentation is top notch, though the lighting making it impossible to see the paint job on the minis is a bit of a bummer.

[@jackhunt2116]

While i like 2k games best, if this is esier to produce, its really nice to see more armies and units! Honestly watched it for the SB. Really nice having the models big on the side too!

[@jonr655]

Way to sacrifice your vampire lord to all but guarantee the Cities victory. 😉 I pictured the Grave Guard channeling Monty Python's "Run away! Run away!" Very cool report though.

[@CrazyBlitzwing]

Would like to see more cinematic battle reports in the future.

[@ryangoss7891]

Absolutely love this style of battle report! Seems a bit silly to me that Freeguild Cavaliers do as much damage as Blood Knights on the charge (2 attacks seems more appropriate) but GW will be GW.

[@Remus689]

Loved every second of it!

[@Stryder467]

I like the clinical delivery of your battle reports very much, but I can't say no to a good bardic-style story. It is probably how reports are delivered in the Age of Sigmar universe. So when I am torn like this, I'm going to favour the latter. Go for the cinematic style more often going forward. :D I have to cheer for the Cities of Sigmar on this one; I love the whole cooperation aspect of the faction. The villainous Soulblight Gravelords must be repelled by the forces of Order. Yeah! Excellent work, Cities. The light effect was awesome. Keep it up. :D

[@jb87rell]

Loved it

[@brentnelson8137]

I’m all about this

[@quantummechanic2775]

While I like the competitive style reports, I would love to see more videos in this style.

[@Rakaizulu]

Really enjoyed this video. I would love to see a whole campaign like this. My only complaint: Both armies lacked some contrast in their paintjob, too much of a dark blob for my eyes.

[@roubledoubledice7712]

I got too excited for a 2k game so 600pts felt not that great :( Maybe distinguish somehow in a video name?

[@SeasonofWar]

Yeah I was thinking about different ways to do that - I had originally made a different thumbnail but it was too close to the thumbnail from our model showcase so I was worried they'd get confused for one another.

[@InnuendoOutTheOther]

Very dark, can't see much

[@EvilVampMuffin]

Like the new style but not as a replacement for you guys standard game

[@SeasonofWar]

Thanks for the feedback! ❤️

[@drums4life5]

Really is a shame that 99.999% of AoS games, especially online are Matched Play. These more narrative style battle plans are so fun

[@robertkarlsson7439]

I think the batrep was really well made but I subscribe and pay for your channel for the beautiful, well produced, well played and tight 2k batreps. I think warhammer is just a bad game and not balanced for anything below 1500pts

[@damianone4404]

13 Minutes? Lol

[@SeasonofWar]

It's a much different format/style than 'normal' - would love to hear what you think after you watch!

[@phillipbird2451]

Loved this!
