Skaven vs Hedonites of Slaanesh - Warhammer: Age of Sigmar

[@TheRealDiscoBoy]

I'm sure there's people that get annoyed by your daughter being there. As a wargaming Dad myself whose daughter is now a bit older, it makes me smile to see and remember the exact same challenges when gaming with my friends. That age is very sweet and goes too quickly. Enjoy it.

[@olafolafsson2755]

They collect dice. Throw them for you. Sometimes they hide the dice somewhere or your paints. Hehe

[@woolf552]

id like to second, got 3 kids myself and its something quite special thinking about how time passes and this channel grows and keeps its high quality, Jaina growing from baby to young kid underscores that. I really hope u guys have the energy to keep it up for yrs to come, 4 sure count me in as a loyal supporter for what it's worth

[@binslagala]

Screw those guys😂

[@stormshaft]

Hahahaha, the temptaion-sound is so crazy! Great batrep as always!

[@Toastergod44]

That temptation sound signature tho 🤣 Next matchup, I would recommend trying out the endless spells. Mirror is so good at stomping down wholly within 18 inches and bombing units with multiple D3s of either depravity or mortal wounds. Your opponent will have a harder time justifying the damage when it’s that much all at once.

[@SeasonofWar]

Haha yeah I thought adding a custom Slaanesh sound would be fun! :P I did want to try some of the endless spells as I agree they're sweet - things just weren't working out to include one points-wise in list building.

[@Jerm-ct5jf]

Great bat rep as usual! Would love to have an on screen visual of the lists as you guys are talking about them.

[@mrgcostanza5776]

Khorne vs Slaanesh surely has to be in the near future. As always love the reports, best out there, thank you!

[@Celefaze]

As SCal United's token Slaanesh player it was pretty rad to see our shirt and my army of choice table the opponent in the same battle report.

[@SeasonofWar]

Happy we could represent both!

[@stax6092]

Yooo, that Slaanesh army is Baller as hell. Looks AMAZING. Mortals are the best BTW, no shame in All Mortals. I was really thrown by that Temptation sound for a bit. XD Still love the Narrator, the sarcasm is palpable which is excellent. GG.

[@SeasonofWar]

Thanks for the kind words and feedback - we've made some changes to the temptation sound moving forward :)

[@jCHASEm87]

Pumped to see new Slannesh!

[@Kimtanashino]

So cool to see these armies in game ! Really happy to see Slaanesh but i'll stand with the rodents !

[@d.c.4545]

I feel your pain on this one Ridge. Had a very similar game 2 weeks ago where I miscast with the a warsong 2 turns in a row then proceeded to fail 4 9inch charges turn 1 and 4 5inch charges turn 2. We just called the game after that. Slaanesh is strong now and I'm excited to see them on the table, but now I want to see them put through a true test of strength. Can't wait for the next batrep.

[@keith7310]

Awesome battle rep! So cool to see Slaanesh in action!

[@paperboyjay8161]

Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 finally guys: Slaanesh hits the table of SoW!!! Thanks for this Batrep!

[@SeasonofWar]

Long overdue, but it was sincerely our pleasure!

[@alexbathgate1520]

Agree with depravity being mor difficult against tough enemys but the temptation will hurt more against elite army's so you may see opponents giving depravity more than taking the mortals.

[@SeasonofWar]

100% - definitely going to see different armies choose to react in vastly different ways!

[@davidblenner9082]

Love that your daughter is apart of the game

It's definitely fun having her involved - one day she'll make her channel debut as a player :P

[@jb-ip9wd]

Hi guys and thanks for your battle reports which are fast and super well commented in voice over. There is a mistake on the description of the contorted epidom spell "overwhelming acquiescience" it is not the re-roll of the one but a +1 hit for the units that will attack against this unit.

[@SeasonofWar]

Ah yeah - forgot to update it from the previous battletome

[@zachboyce9728]

Ridge, you forgot to fight on death with the verminlord (twice)! It happens regardless of phase unlike most other fight on death mechanics in the game. Would have probably lifted both units of cavalry and prevented the battle tactic/thanquol dying

[@bobjones3579]

He was shot to ribbins he wasn't in combat range of aything.

[@zachboyce9728]

See that’s the beauty, it just says he can fight, there’s no 3” requirement. He can pile and fight once per death frenzy stack regardless of where he is. And with 3” melee range it’s a 9” bubble of almost guaranteed death. The one thing to note is that the devious adversary extra attacks is only combat phase, but still a solid number of attacks still rerolling to wound

[@bobjones3579]

​@Zach Boyce then all he had to do was stay out of range. No Calvery dies and thanqual lives 1 more round.

[@RidgeHanna]

OMG I didn't even think about that. I was just so defeated from failing all of those charges :( I literally did this with Rat Ogors yesterday in a game and knew you didn't have to be in combat. You are right, he would have killed the one unit of Cav or the hero and 4 Painbringers... Shit. I think I still lose but would have made for a much better game! Great catch man! I'm still learning/mastering the rats, such a fun techy army :)

[@SeasonofWar]

Yep - good learning point for both sides!

[@arpeh]

finally some Slaanesh on the channel, happy to see it. Hope to see a Slaanesh vs khorne in the future

[@Elninyo99]

Sigvalt cant dispell the geminids in the enemy turn with heroic will power can only unbind a spell. Don't know if it makes a diffrence.

[@SeasonofWar]

Good shout - I always forget that

[@Elninyo99]

Don't think it was that big of a deal there. great video

[@DannyWadeson]

Oooh Slaanesh. Why are you like this….

[@zinosmess5526]

hey guys, nice report as usual but i can't understand what is happened at 16.33. Voice said master moulder uses tunnel master, but the mini moved looks way into the 9" range and then Sigvald and CE redeployed, but can't see from what

[@benjaycott634]

Great to see Slaanesh on the channel. Jordan finally giving into the temptation.

[@SeasonofWar]

Collecting & painting nearly every AoS army is hard man! haha

[@philippkartaev73]

Thank you for the excellent demonstration of Slaanesh! I wish Ridge better rolls than in this game. One technical mistake: according to the rules of the game, you cannot use heroic willpower to dispel geminids during an enemy turn

[@SeasonofWar]

Yeah the poor charges were definitely a dissapointment, and thanks for the reminder re; Heroic Willpower - always forget that one!

[@redhairjoe1]

Wholesome purple dice moment

[@JimCartikus]

Ouch, Great BatRep. Brutal outcome.

[@rmulshine]

Offer on hit roll, they could still fail the wound.

[@shanelambert8625]

THE SCAL UNITED SHIRT! REPRESENTING MY TEAM LOL

[@SeasonofWar]

[@ands1983]

A bit one sided 😅 Remember that Euphoric Killers is not about damage, but allocated wounds. Overkill prevents DP generation, but saves/wards do not. The slickblades might have generated even more.

[@Kimtanashino]

Oh that's interesting ! So you mean it's the number of wounds allocated that become Depravity Points BEFORE the saves/wards?

[@yugerk]

With the verminlord Warminster spell how do you stack fight on death on the same unit

[@MentoliptusBanko]

Your daughter rolling dice was super cool! I see a future Warhemmer player :) Hopefully she won't choose Slaanesh as her first army :D

[@SeasonofWar]

She's been painting up a unit of Dryads lately!

[@MentoliptusBanko]

Awesome! My son wants to paint a space marine...and I play chaos, hahahaha :D :D :D

[@evangannon8118]

Prediction after turn 1: Love to see skaven on the board and they normally hard counter here because of the massive amount of mortal wounds a skaven army can output. With that said though Ridge's list is a lot more combat focused and we're down a unit of clanrats and rat ogres so itll be a tough one for the rats to come back from. My heart tells me vote for the skaven but i dont see them doing enough before getting crushed. With Slaanesh having a bunch of combat debuffs itll be a win for the pain boys

[@evangannon8118]

it shouldn't have ended that fast lol but this was a masterclass on how swingy dice games can be sometimes

[@BlackV8SS]

Sigvald couldn't dispel the Geminids on Skaven T2. You can only dispel in your turn and unbind in the enemy's turn.

[@AddictedEmperor]

You can dispel at the start of any hero phase. Core Rules 19.3.2 Dispelling Endless Spells At the start of the hero phase, each player can attempt to dispel 1 endless spell with each friendly WIZARD and friendly PRIEST. The player whose turn is taking place makes all of their dispelling attempts first. If a WIZARD attempts to dispel an endless spell, they can attempt to cast or unbind 1 fewer spell in that hero phase. If a PRIEST attempts to dispel an endless spell, they can chant 1 fewer prayer in that hero phase. The same player cannot attempt to dispel the same endless spell more than once per phase

[@BlackV8SS]

@Greg Flowers Sigvald is not a Wizard, therefore he had to perform the Heroic Action Heroic Willpower. This has limitations around when you can dispel and when you can unbind.

[@tizianomerello6530]

Ehi where we can find the lists?:)

[@SeasonofWar]

[@Stryder467]

I am cheering for Slaanesh on their debut appearance! Sigvald is always a fun inclusion too. Temptation dice look both fun and strong and I'm glad to see the rest of the faction seems to be measuring up. :D

[@TheGinc77]

Great battle!

[@carlonmarlon4850]

Your Slaanesh Army has 2140 points in my application. I'm new to this game and I don't know why this is happening. The battle is probably for 2000 points, right?

[@SeasonofWar]

Sometimes they update and change the points for balance reasons, so this is an older list, without current changes

[@cmleibenguth]

Great paint scheme on the Slaanesh army Not the standard purple pink everywhere, but still looks fittingly ostentatious for a Slaanesh army Edit: Holy crap, that was a lot of temptation damage in second half of turn 1

[@Jongmokify]

Painbringer was 145pts for 5 mans :) But it was a great game.

[@SeasonofWar]

Just forgot to update the points in the graphic - but actual list was correct!

[@olafolafsson2755]

Many say slaanesh is busted broken and op. And while I personally dislike their new abilities fluff wise. (Imho nurgle should play with passives this) I think it's okay. Their warscrolls still cost a decent amount of points. Their hammer units are fragile or need command trait+artefact and can then still be easily shot or killed. They will suffer from alpha strikes, heavy shooting or spells and maybe even combat armies with wards like fyreslayers or nurglelists who can hold their ground on the obj and shrug off the temptationdice mortals. I'm not saying they suck. Its a very strong book. But there are weaknesses. Let ridge get his charge rolls and get the iniative on turn 3 and the battle looks quite different.

[@zay4842]

You could really make some merch out of "Got some dice?"

[@sasukeds]

HoS are VERY strong against melee armies in general. Shooting/magic heavy armies are going to be tough for them. Very tech heavy army.

[@SeasonofWar]

I very much agree!

[@thefourhorsemen4839]

Poor skaven 😭

[@Kimtanashino]

It's hard because I rarely see them win, ever. Even at a personal level : when I play against them, I usually win. When I play them, I usually lose. And it's not a very old battletome, that's the scariest part. Too costy units for what they do, no high risk high reward : the unreliability isn't even paying enough when it spikes.

[@snakeballs8965]

​@@KimtanashinoI've been only playing skaven, and I have not had a lot of success. But looking back at the battle I can see where I messed up and essentially lost the game. It just really feels bad because it can be something as simple as positioning will lose you the game. There's no room for error, play perfect or lose

[@Ohfishyfishyfish]

noooo skaven :(

[@TruthTealler]

that kill sound was too much. left at 13

[@SeasonofWar]

@@Kimtanashino new one has the same vibe & energy - but a little more PG, still lots of fun :P

[@sururu6]

new slanesh is too op, mechanic is busted, 12 mortals or 20points every turn as pasive is bonkers. feels like 1mortal per dice and d3 points would be more balanced, and way too much -armor stacking and too easy to get bonus to hit and wound, cryes in idoneth where every aura has like 100 restrictitions even for a measly bonus to hit

[@SeasonofWar]

I agree IDK rules are too harshly written, but Slaanesh is a lot more fragile than even IDK imo. I think IDK could punish these guys with balanced builds simply because we control their shooting targets & will easily shred blissbarbs!

[@toro132]

New slanesh book is busted,units undercosted by 30 points as blisbarbs archers,op buff and debuffs very easy to get as a -2 save or -2 hit. Also is a joke as in turn 2 you can have maxed his passive to do slanesh the supposed glash canon army in one of the tankiest army of entire aos with -1 hit a 5++. Seriously this book seems even more broken than goblins

[@Eva1337]

Played against it the other day, lost and was pretty miserable to play against the whole time. That -1 to get hit globally at a mere 12 depravity alone is game ruining. They ran a subfaction that let multiple heroes use heroic actions, so was constantly bombarded with -1 saves. Constantly had to ask "How many points are they?", because they were obliterating units nearly double their cost in melee.

[@toro132]

@@Eva1337 yes seems slanesh now gonna be so broken as they was at 2.0 The -hit is cancer and i cant believe how gw put it free armywide to slanesh and even -2 with glutos

[@NexUtInfinitus]

@@toro132 it isn’t free… you have to accumulate 12 depravity to get -1 hit. Frankly, people b*tching about meta creep should remember every battletome has its day. Time to take it up the rear again from the Prince of Pleasure

I srsly dont get why they give these abilities to slaanesh. It feels like nurgle should have it. Slaanesh should be moving, fighting twice, hurting themselves for more dmg and those things.

I wasn't paying close attention, but you can only offer temptation dice to each unit once per phase, I think I saw you hit the same unit several times in one phase.

All good - I was spreading shooting out to multiple units, never tempted the same one in any phase!
