Okay, I laughed out loud when the music started for the Minions intro.

[@WarGamerGirl]

***** It seemed like the only music that really fit the Farrow =)

[@mandragoradravgis]

WarGamerGirl It was a totally awesome choice and it brought a smile to my face every time I heard it.

[@WarGamerGirl]

Mandragora Dravgis It still makes me smile when I hear it, even after hours of editing it.

[@shiro4ever]

WarGamerGirl Brilliant choice--loved the music.

[@spacebug40000]

***** I had the same reaction. That was too funny!

[@tyetnic]

I love how he put numerals on the razorboars' backsides like they were branded.

[@souledgar]

Great batrep Miranda, enjoyed it alot. Glad you got Dan in, you guys bounce off each other so well, both in terms of humor and skill level. Hope you get him in more often!

[@AviadMD]

Yeah... Fire and Witches don't mix

[@borkthebasher]

great production values and clearly a lot of time and effort spent to bring these to us. great job.

[@MrGundamfan]

The minions intro was incredible almost fell outta my chair laughing, Very entertaining battle report over all. love it when Dan comes to visit. Keep up the good work miranda.

[@thomasgrable1746]

Another great battle report, Miranda! Sad way to go, but I can just hear Frankenstein's monster groaning, "Fire bad!"

[@Ottuln]

I always love the videos, thanks for all of the hard work!

[@ishyab011]

Great job Miranda on this Bat Rep. It's always fun watching you and Sir Codex Dan do battle with one another. Great play by play, great filming and overall presentation of what you guys did. Thanks as always, Sammy ! :) See y'all at the next Codex Dan KZbin blog. :))))

[@MrMalorian]

Dan is amazingly good with his pigs. He's the only guy playing pigs I've feared facing.

[@MrMalorian]

No :)

[@johannkaramossov9561]

MrMalorian anyway one cant stay concentrated if the ennemy has that much bacon

[@herpaderp35]

Masterful play from the pigs- nice to see them handled so well!

[@OmegaRainbow]

no tough rolls for the boars, but also quite a few snake eyes for the khador! Better luck next time ;) ...and congrats on the production quality, top notch as always!

[@EngineerJeff]

Great batrep as always! I'm diggin that battlemat!

[@MrSerpentseyes]

i love watching your battle reports even if u lose its still fun to watch your reports i find u give the right amount of info we need keep this up andi hope even ever i done my army i hope to play with yea :D

[@smoke2broke]

WarGamerGirl they definitely look amazing! Thanks for the link.

[@WilliamPayne12011]

Another great Battle Report, can't wait for the next one!

[@LuisPandabmb]

Fun match to watch. Great seeing you guys playing together again

[@AdeptusRidiculous-2025]

This was awesome Miranda, you let him win for a change! Great battle report as always, very entertaining too esp with Dan!

[@righteousfury5443]

I love watching you two battle you two are soooo funny, and bring such a light heartedness to such a face pace full metal mayhem game, I look forward to more reports with you two...and all that bacon on the field.

[@metalshorty0]

Great BatRep! Dan is certainly a character. What sick dance moves he has :D I'd like to see more battles between you two! Too bad this one didn't last very long :-( As always, great quality and commentary! Thank you for doing this

[@DiploRaptor]

I really enjoy these bat-reps. They remind me a lot of Advanced Maneuvers reports. Also minions look like so much fun.

[@ET117]

great video! going to get a starter box soon!

[@ctr500]

Good job with the videos, keep 'em coming!

[@honsou1978dk]

I will always think about Serenity when you introduce yourself... it never stops.

[@Avatarsoul7]

Music selection for Minions was epic.

[@TheLlamagator]

Losing to fire sucks! Another good battle report!

[@CityofLight11]

Gorman di Wulfe serving as a glorified swamp gobber crew is probably questioning his life choices. Great batrep, always nice to see a minions victory!

[@RFerrer]

I swear, that Minions theme song sounds like exactly the kind of music Bebop from TMNT would listen to.

[@mandragoradravgis]

Dan's gone... wait for it... Hog Wild!!

[@YermackRus]

From Russia with respect! Thank you for first-class videos!

[@tinmechworkshop220]

Great battlereport as always. Miranda you are an inspiration for all of us aspiring battlereporters out there :D One thing I noticed about the rules though: Unless the razorboars are classified as warrior models you can't move 1" back after killing it under the Avatar of Slaughter spell. As far as I know its a lesser warbeast. PS: What was the point of going full boar in the first round for Dan? He moved like 7", got D3 dmg which he had to heal and forced for 1. he could have just force to run. Or was it all just for pathfinder? Cheers

[@BaldurPrime]

nice video thanks for a new adventure i cant wait for see more :3

[@simonsharapov2259]

cool report, I finally looked like this "pig farm" headed by Midas plays. While on the other hand, Dan lucky that the witch was under attack, because pigs were killed turn by turn. It would be interesting to see like this "pig farm" plays in other situation.

[@evileyeball]

Excellent I'm building Zevanna Agha soon, I need to lear more how to use her

[@MiniWarzone]

Wow, your battle reports are so polished I'm impressed. Must take a while to edit together?

[@bwgmurphy7685]

i loved it great to see a new batrep...especially with pigs!

[@Koby19841]

not sure you were aware, but CRA adds +2 to ranged attacks rolls if there are 2 models acting in the CRA. The CRA is at the base RAT of the model who is designated as the lead for the attack and +1 per model contributing to the attack, INCLUDING the original attacking model. I only picked it up in your 2nd turn when you said that a 2 man CRA from the winterguard needed 6's to hit a boar and then a single solitary winterguard needed a 7.

[@redhairdavid]

awesome!!! your back.

[@SinOfAugust]

Your opponent is the most entertaining tabletop opponent I had ever seen. Anywhere. EVER.

[@Armitage5hanks]

Hi Miranda, I love the way your battle reports are filmed have you done any videos on your equipment and filming techniques? Thinking of bringing Warmahordes to South Africa where I live.

[@Jerrrr]

Nice choice of theme for minions.

[@x.davidwilliams83]

Nice dice rolls? HELL Miranda's days were on fire.

[@christianlabor5553]

Y'all's chemistry is hilarious.

[@michaelgrey1351]

Another great report! Caster death by fire damage always strikes me as cheap.... but that's coming from someone who plays armies without access to fire. And with Minions down I believe the only factions not to be seen on WGM now is, and correct me if I'm wrong, CoC, Legion and Mercs.

[@eyorerekrep]

Another great battle report, but please inform Dan that using Full Boar (and also the War Hog's version of the ability) require the 'beast to be forced in addition to taking the d3 damage roll. I believe that each time he used the ability he did not force the 'beast.

[@MichaelTE]

I've been thinking of getting out of Warmachine for a while now, but couldn't make up my mind. After watching this video my mind is made up, Warmachine sucks, I'm done with it. Thank you for helping me with my decision

[@DrTransDickables]

Will you be recording any more of these action reports? They are very entertaining :)

[@RagTagMTG]

I've not played Warmachine before...this is very interesting to watch from an outsider's perspective. Old Witch seems ridiculous.

[@maximilianrasche2288]

Nice battle report! And nice objectives :3 Where can I get two of these?

[@WarGamerGirl]

Maximilian Rasche They came from Tectonic Craft Studios. Their website is here: tectoniccraftstudios.com/collections/objective-marker-kits/products/steamtrack-objective-marker

[@AFLance03]

YES!

[@llongone2]

Tough loss. You played the attrition and scenario pretty well, but just got caught by a spray+good damage rolls. You make the best batreps; very easy to follow and understand with quick pacing. Oh, and change your dice! You rolled double ones three times in this battle!

[@francescmassanes]

Rules question, on Khador turn 3, when the brigand die and the one engaging the widowmaker is promoted, the promoted model cannot make free strikes, right? So that widoemaker could have moved out of melee range, right?

[@Elblanco12345]

It can still make free strikes. Why wouldn't it be able to?

[@francescmassanes]

Joe S From Prime, regarding unit promotion: "The new Leader cannot make an attack during a turn it was promoted". The turn is still Khador's and a free strike is still an attack.

[@mickhead666]

Correct

[@EdvandoFilho]

Would be nice to have the lists on the description =D

[@Blechhower]

Is there a link to those awesome Minion turn tunes? :D

[@HunterHero80]

i love your battlereports :) ... i´m new to Hordes. Can you give me Tipps for my basing ? I´m playing Skorne ;)

[@mashy23gaming11]

I'm a proud yet young new Khador player

[@Wild1chevy]

Will you be making objective and turn counters for your resin business?

[@theworldsays4264]

Completely bonkers!

[@zinned20]

Nice piggies I never knew of minions till now

[@joegkushner]

I've seen this strategy of shooting your own guy in the back to achieve something else. may have to try it.

[@1andOnlyJDauntless]

Finally! I found another GirlGamer who isn't using her sexuality as a way of attracting the crowd. It's all about the gameplay.

[@hater911ful]

[@smoke2broke]

WarGamerGirl Is that a mat or custom table top you use for your videos?

[@WarGamerGirl]

Dorian Ruiz It's a game mat. I have a link to the website that sells them in the video description. They have quite a few designs and I think they look awesome =)

[@Warriorking1963]

WarGamerGirl What are you using to represent the control zones? Looks like it might make a good material to represent the bamboo walls found in traditional Vietnamese hooches (which I'm trying to make for a future game). I too liked your choice of music for the pigs! :O)

[@gutskenpachi2358]

Ah continuous fire, the best additional effect in the game.

[@AnodyneRain]

Awww, I was hoping the music for the farrow would be some type of pig metal

[@WarGamerGirl]

Benjamin Chudy Do you mean like pig iron? =P

[@johnyentes6643]

[@georgec6405]

Lol that minion music.

[@Mistshinobi]

Why SR 2014 as the new scenarios have been out for quite some time?

[@procrastinatinggamer]

Video description says that it was recorded last year before Valhalla.

[@23gameoverlord]

oi can ya do a Gatorman Minion team vs a Boarman Minion team battle report, ah wan'ts to see which group is the more blood thirsty.

[@zaakyelle1010]

why don't you play the rockteers with your winterguards

[@WarGamerGirl]

Zaak Yelle I actually didn't own the Rocketeers until recently. My Winterguard is from the old metal kit when you had to buy rocketeers separately. When the plastic kit came out I couldn't find blisters of the rocketeers anymore, so it took awhile to finish filling out my full deathstar.

[@MrSerpentseyes]

btw smart move on turn 2 ult those pigs are annoying in melee

[@HolyRasputin88]

DAN!

[@roboman5000]

more pigs plz :) as always vary good battle report.

[@roboman5000]

roboman5000 oh more old witch to she my favorite. :)

[@mashy23gaming11]

Gorman is just op

[@mrrocksmithy]

Ok I'm halfway through,, does Dan make ANY tough checks? Poor little fella!

[@HansBohr]

i need to know the song if minons :P

[@WarGamerGirl]

jonathan picard The intro song for them is "Swamp Shuffle" and the song that plays during the turns is "Crawdad Stomp". I have the musicians listed in the end credits if you are interested in finding out who made them.

[@HansBohr]

WarGamerGirl thank you. :) Great and clear battle report as ever. I was wandering if you can do a Warmachine promotionnal video to help the growth of my local warmachine community? A "Hi Drummondville, wish you luck" kind of thing. If not, that's ok. Keep up the great work! PS: Hope you win against Dan someday on a battle report ;)

[@andrewj8691]

This was a very nice quality battle report. I will be watching a few more. Although, this and 40k just make no sense, why are they stuck in the gentleman's warfare phase? I stand here, hope you don't shoot me, then shoot back. This makes no sense. Are these armies supposed to look pathetic? Is there no chain of command? One person dies while you have the upper and you just lose? What? Hence why I play Battletech. You still stand a chance if you are smart with your moves and all damage is issued at the same time as though everyone is shooting at each other at the same time.

[@LightemupWMH]

Its a turn by turn system as a game mechanic, think if it as slow motion, when 2 people battle they don't hit each at the same time its usually back and forth. Its just like DnD RPG, the monsters not standing there waiting for you to act, you just get a spot in the rotation. I love it this way. It makes for good strategy. As for losing the caster and losing, eh can't say much to that. Yeah you lose that model and the rest of the army runs away I guess. But if it wasn't like that than you'd have to play full attrition and that can get boring fast.

[@tinmechworkshop220]

Andrew J Well the answer is in the core principle of this world. Warcasters and Warlock are central figures in warfare they are the super commandos of engagements. When you got one on your side you are guarantined to win because of their magic and they bring warbeasts/warjacks. As you are a battletech player think of it this way: The warcaster is the lance leader, you got like an atlas, 2x marauders and some infantry and armor batalions. When a warcaster gets killed his battlegroup who he mentally commands gets a surge of dying thought that shuts them down. Can you compete against the other battletech army with mechs if your lance just stopped working? You could guerrilla a bit but its pointless to lose lives thats why those battle end with their deaths. Tell me if this makes sense. PS: There is no point in throwing soldiers lives away. There is a reason generals retreat to fight another day. Cheers

[@ArcaneCowboy]

Would not miss continuous effects if they were removed from the game.
