Awesome content, keep these up! I love the format

Thanks! Will do!

[@paulkelly4366]

Subscribed 👍 sold on the narration as i like to listen while doing other things. Look forward to more.

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

Awesome, thank you!

How did Alarielle strike and fade? She has to be physically touching a wyrdwood equivalent because her base is over 6".

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

we did realise this after the game as well that she actually is not able to strike and fade indeed due to her pie plate base. made for a good moment here though in hindisght as she escaped on the slimmest of margins.

[@Dom-pu5hj]

Yeah, I had the same thought when I saw that. She's too thicc, and it has hurt me in games with her before.

[@ageofsigmar89]

U can place alarielle on the root from a tree. So u can use Strike and fate with good positioning.

[@damianone4404]

Put her on the base of the tree then she is wholly 6 ?

[@reformedbugman703]

Couple thoughts, there was no reason for the raptors not to be in scions because you can bring them down on your turn. Preators have to be on the battlefield in the deployment phase for their soul bound ability to work, they can't be in scions. Power through on the palladors is very powerful, try that next time because you could have stolen an objective afterwards. What was Belathnos doing this game? We didn't see him at all until he killed some dogs??

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

welcome back :) the Raptors wanted to be on the board to be able to do covering fire turn 1, as seize the center was the most obvious choice for the Sylvaneth in turn 1, but they did expose themselves to the bow hunters this way. For the Praetors, the soul-bonded ability says it can be used during the deployment phase. Is there a core rule that would say it can be used only when on the board? As they do count as deployed when in the sky. Really wanted to utilise power through with the Palladors, but they were fighting Kurnoth and Alarielle who both have an at least equal health characteristic, so the Palladors can't use power through against them. Belthanos was surely too defensive. He did get a lot more vulnerable without his ward save so he was very weary to stay outside the range of the Raptors and Palladors, who both outrange him. The ability to give the Kurnoth run and charge is still very useful though.

[@codfreak213789]

​@TheRealmWarsNetwork 28.0 in the rulebook says "unless states otherwise, units using or being picked as part of an ability must be on the battlefield". Deployment is split into 3 parts the last being using the deployment abilities. Since the praetors would not be on the battlefield they cannot declare the "soul-bonded" ability. Unless this was FAQ'd I believe this is still the ruling.

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

@@codfreak213789 good find. They can't use it then like this.

[@DMIyce]

I feel you missed the burn ability on ionus! When he damages with his ranged attack, he chooses 1 target that then burns for the rest of the game, even if he dies.

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

i did not mention it much as all the Sylvaneth heal every turn. so it actually didn't do much (or didn't trigger). when it did damage i put it into the shooting damage comments.

[@KevinPotter-w5c]

Great to see the stormcast get a kicking 🦵 great battle report thanks guys 👍👹💯

[@CraigThomasBoyle]

They didn't get a kicking though haha

[@LJIsak]

You can't use Belthanos' place of power ability and activate the place at the same turn, since 'Activate place of power' is a start of turn ability (i.e. before the hero phase). Seems like that combo would be quite strong with the new manifestation rules.

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

Belthanos "Nature Aetheric" ability is at the start of any turn, same as "Active Place of Power" so it seems it should be possible. Belthanos uses his ability and Alarielle activates it as they both happen at the start of turn.

[@LJIsak]

@@TheRealmWarsNetwork Ah, you're right. The ability is yellow so I thought it was in the hero phase. I wonder which one is correct.

[@tizianomerello6530]

Amazing reports!! A question about prayers, can you decide to pray and after didn’t use points generated and keep them for the next turn?😀

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

@@tizianomerello6530thank you! yes, you can store prayer points. You roll for it and then decide if you want to spend (you have to use all) points on a prayer or keep it.

[@voice9893]

17:50 tree revants didnt need to suicide Charge. Because they got a Banner bearer they have a Controlscore of 6 compared to ionus 5.

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

true! we missed the banner.

[@marcussloss6937]

subscribed and thumbs up, great work.

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

Thank you very much!

[@rotm4447]

krondys really is stellar now, nice to see him get his time.

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

indeed, need to use him while it lasts. who knows what the battle tome will bring. i am tempted o give his paint job an upgrade on mine, feel the wings are a bit bland currently.

[@banlungx001]

wait , so ionus know atleast both translocate and the heal prayer , does all the priest in 4th know all the prayer now?

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

yes they do! wizards as well. you pick a spell and a prayer lore for your army that every caster then knows all the spells/prayers of.

[@lloydjamieson2143]

Love the game here. Keep it up

[@melchoriuz8116]

Nice Batrep... and long way of learning for the Sylvaneth player ... :-) - next time.

[@thordoo3047]

8th baby!!! Love these breps!

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

happy you like the brep!

[@goforitpainting]

Cool report.

[@nunyabusiness7018]

MORE DRAGONS YESSSSS

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

gotta bring out the big ones!

[@Ryu62Alpha]

Very good, but is that an AI voice over? The pronunciation of each name and word keeps changing throughout the video, it's kind of funny lol

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

It is actually. The pronouncing of fantasy names is still a challenge, but can see the AI getting better month over month at it.

[@DanMarston117]

What's with this janky AI voiceover?

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

AI is not perfect yet but handy to use. will get better over time.

[@DanMarston117]

@@TheRealmWarsNetwork I suppose it's more TTS but it stands out horrendously, for the effort it takes to type in a script and get it read, I honestly feel like it would be worth the extra few hours just to have someone human read it for a less disconnecting experience. Doesn't have to be professional audiobook level of reading, but some sort of actual emotion behind the words would go a long way.

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

@@DanMarston117 I'll think about that

[@jediguru34]

Honestly, I thought the Ai voice was much better than a lot of others I've heard on yt channels. It's very passable.

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

@@jediguru34 They are making progress I think.

[@CraigThomasBoyle]

I like the format but I'd suggest using a human narrator. AI is still just too offputting. Cool report though

[@TheRealmWarsNetwork]

Thanks..I currently think the AI is better for audio quality. I might try to narrate myself again.
