[@TheTexasDice]

Your Battlereports are the only ones in which I actually understand what's going on. The fact that you have multiple angles, a great recording quality, only play with painted models AND do so much editing to keep everything flowing, is amazing. I wish we could get more of your reports, but I get that it takes a lot of time to make them. So instead, I request a game with the Old Witch. I don't care against what, but maybe something weird, like Cephalyx or Convergence.

[@WarGamerGirl]

+Texas Dice Ah yes, that would be fun. She's always been one of my favorite casters and I still haven't explored her in MK3.

[@TheTexasDice]

WarGamerGirl I'm currently trying to "main" Old Witch, albeit with little success. All I know is that she has amazing synergy with Behemoth (Apparition + his guns work really well together) and that she still loves greylords, for instant stealth. She definitely needs armor-cracking in her list.

[@mattpants6178]

Texas Dice I agree, Wargamergirl's battle reports are amazing!

[@timbagnall499]

no more battle reports bugus

[@timbagnall499]

i meant bogus

[@Faceonthewall]

I really like the way you present your battle reports. Simple and well filmed but not taking too long. I'd love it if you could upload on a regular basis. Cheers!

[@anonymoose2386]

The music during the Trollblood turns literally gave me chills! Well picked!

[@direrumdirennis5017]

Yay new video !!!!!!! I've seen battle reports of everyone on KZbin (not kidding) and I can definitely say yours are the best by far Miranda 😄😄

[@КонстантинФ-л3ю]

The girls were very little)))

[@volanabjorgeson8439]

Its between WarGamerGirl and House of Dice for me

[@ZombieApocalypse09]

I'm new to Warmahordes (just bought a 2-player battlebox) and trying to recruit various peoples (my wife, her cousin, and my sister) to play. I have to say, your channel has been the best for showing off what the game is all about. Highlighting the action, relaying the rules concisely, and cut together in a way that is crisp and engaging. Thank you! I hope you keep doing these battle reports! They are the best around!

[@WarGamerGirl]

Thank you.

[@ChrisFassano88]

By far the best warmahordes betreps are made by you. Glad to see that you are still making them. keep up the good work!

[@myksoxonaki]

Hello Miranda! Pardon me for the question i am going to bring up forward but I would like to ask you how do you find Malifaux compared to Warmachine? I am quite a fan of warmachine my self but lately everyone has started rotating towards malifaux and I remain a bit sceptical in terms of starting out as well.. Do you think that it is enjoyable or does it lack the depth that warmachine offers? Cheers in advance keep up the entertainment and good lucn with your project!

[@ShouldveTurnedLeft]

Did Frank forget Warders have Shield Guard, or did he just choose to not use it? Also, haven't seen either of you in a while...

[@apolon002]

Just started Trollbloods so thats why i ask now.Still learning :) I saw that you made a tough check on 4 twice iirc but when the other guy rolled 4 he failed?Tough is on a 5 or 6 right? dont know if Khador models have special rule.

[@WarGamerGirl]

Normal tough is on a 5 or 6 yes. Irusk's feat specifically allows a tough roll of 4, 5, or 6 for a round though. So that tough roll of 4 should have been during my feat. Thanks for watching =)

[@414Uk]

hello, Miranda. I'm russian trollbloods newcommer and I wonder why your opponent didn' use Snacking ability of his warbeasts when striking you models on Irusks's feat turn, could you explain, why? If he did a couple of your models were died cuz no tough rolls were done. Regards

[@John-Val056]

(Sub) Great set of videos. WGG, what is the name of the mat you were using in this video, I do not see it on the Frontline Gaming Site. Thanks for making these videos.

[@michaelgrey1351]

Any day with a new WGG video is a good day.

[@AtlaSTgamingTV]

Glad you're back! You make the most well-produced battle reports I've seen!

[@jeffharris9345]

Yet another great battle report I love your videos. Forgive me if this has been asked already but do you sell war wargamer girl merchandise? I would love to buy one of those dice trays.

[@Terroreyes-j8l]

just a question but models with tough that are knocked down do not make tough check...right?

[@cramnh0j]

Yes, no tough check when knocked down. Similarly, effects that prevent knock down from happening allow you to keep making tough rolls, that is if you keep passing them as well.

[@AtlaSTgamingTV]

Noticed a small correction, your opponent was running a min unit of Krielstone Bearer and stone scribes. A full unit would be 5 grunts plus the leader. As always, you put together the highest quality batreps on KZbin!! Thanks Miranda!

[@ognjanvikiev4948]

Would you play as anythink different than Khador?( I want Circle of Orboros)

[@Biorythym]

So in second edition you don't get knocked down and lose your tough when you make your roll?

[@TheMalarz1989]

Great to see you again ;) Nice game.

[@colby-wankenobi2940]

I new to the game and still getting used to the new rules. I could have totally missed something here, but at the end of the game when the Juggernaut is attacking the Warlock, hadn't one of it's arms been disabled on the previous turn? It looked like WGG attacked with both arms' initial attacks. I'm still learned, so is there a special reason for that, or was that just a mistake?

[@WarGamerGirl]

Ah, I should have used 1 die to roll the attack and damage with the disabled arm. A crippled arm or head causes you to use 1 less die for that arm/head. You can still use it in your initial attack though.

[@colby-wankenobi2940]

Thanks for clarifying. It's a lot to keep track of sometimes in the middle of a game. I'm very much a beginner and mostly play with people who are only a little more familiar with the game than I am, and we're all still getting used to the new rules. Your videos are really great tools for learning and understanding the game and being inspired to keep going in a hobby that's completely foreign to me. They even persuaded me to build a Khador army!

[@mediaglitch]

Great quality on the videos. Keep them coming!

[@awesomepossomable]

Awesome! Glad to see you're back in the game!

[@steveisaak4320]

I like your mat. What does one cost? Do you make your own terrain?

[@WarGamerGirl]

+Steve Isaak that mat is from Frontline Gaming. Some of the terrain is home made.

[@andreykrutik5458]

Perfectly, as always! I wait for your new battle reports, Miranda. I live in Russia, and Khador my favourite fraction in Warmachine.

[@williambryant6175]

I realize this is 5 years too late, but wouldn’t the open fist hits on Madrak be at -1 due to hit and damage since the arm was gone?

[@ViZet85]

Just a few days ago I had a match of Khador vs Trollbloods - and trolls with their Tough can be extremely annoying.) Wonderful report, thank you.

[@maximem.ste-marie3578]

the rules of power up were already in dec 2016 ?

[@werefox2009]

I gotta ask do you have merchandise? I love watching you play and I'm a huge fan of WarMachine and an even bigger fan of khador ^^

[@azeve1aa]

Nicely played game, Irusk 1 is one of those rare casters that just seems to have an answer for everything. That feat turn was brutal.

[@psycojester]

Given that the only question Madrak 1 asks is "can you hit Def 14 on one unit?" it's not that hard to have an answer.

[@Frozenkoldfury]

Miranda, Honestly, your Battle Reports are the only ones I can follow properly. well, okay, I can just about handle CodexDan's, but yours are so clear. I've watched em all a couple of times at least, and I have a mighty need for more. Also, I'd love to see a game with Karchev the Terrible. he's really quite Strong in MK3, and can really help out the SPD 4 Warjacks Khador are so famous for.

[@Trencher1375]

Great video once again. Fun to see though rolls getting used against a Troll player for once.

[@SteelDraco]

Nice to see another video from you! Hm. I just finished watching the lists for this and thought "Well, she's definitely going to assassinate him. And quickly." Let's see how this goes, but my immediate thought is that this is pretty much a no-win scenario for the Trollblood player.

[@Thraka5]

I know this battle report is a year old now, but I am a huge trollblood player. Way way more points them necessary. But I always enjoy coming back to this battle report.

[@puppyhater1]

Yay! Missed you, Miranda! ;)

[@schustererik83]

troll player played a sub par caster poorly tbh, why waste the fury to put rage on the bomber if you were going to waste ALL of your attacks on a small base and totally ignore the warjack you were in melee with. seriously, it was like you were trying to lose. . . . Also, there was no reason for his bomber to walk into wind ravager. I can understand if hes inexperienced, but in a world where you can ask your opponent what their spells do AND pre-measure everything. . . . I cant even call it a rookie mistake, it seemed intentional. . . Don't get me wrong, i love your bat reps, great quality and sound, really good editing. but TBH this one just pissed me off as a main faction Trollblood player. terrible representation of trolls.

[@Kurgash1]

Agreed. Like why bother raging when normal melee kills anyway?

[@alexwilson1411]

I wish that you still did videos. Your gameplay videos are the best. Very easy to understand and perfect for a new khador player like myself

[@ashbury137]

Been so long. So glad to see another one!

[@SuperWallace78]

Enjoyed watching your Battle reports as always Miranda... Watching Trollbloods play just reminds me why I no longer play Warmachine/Hordes... I loved playing Trollbloods for years, but after Privateer Press Nerf the Hell out of them in Mk 3... They castrated Mulg and Earthborn two of our best Warbeasts... Nerf the Warders and Made the Stone so expensive in points to bring out to the table now... That it just kills the Trollblood players game... As you could see, you were shooting the Warders off the table before they could even get into good melee to be worth their points. Kept all my Trollbloods in hope that some day... Privateer Press will allow them to be more competitive once again.

[@jackpassanisi7941]

Yes! WarGamerGirl's batreps are back

[@smoth7]

how did you make the rivets on your terrain?

[@WarGamerGirl]

I purchased a 2mm hole punch from the stationary department in Hobby Lobby and used it to punch out the little rivets from plastic card. Then I just glued them on with super glue gel and a pair of tweezers.

[@smoth7]

Awesome, respect for legit hobby skills!

[@ognjanvikiev4948]

Khador are my favourite nation in Warmachine. And i like the way you present your battle reports. And one question. Do you know russian?

[@01omni]

sorry bujt im alittle comfused as nothing you did on feat turn prevented your (khador) models from being knocked down. toughs rules state you become knocked down of you make a tough roll and tough can not activate if a model is knocked down.

[@Jewus19]

you can measure any distance now... yet he still manages to hit exactly the wind ravager zone with his bomber. Well played^^

[@lordas9452]

Good worcks! Please more battlereport of warmahorde or warmachine!!!!!!

[@OroderethTelrunia]

Great Video as usual, but why 50 points?

[@raynaladrien5339]

Very good channel for report battle I put it in TOP 1 , they are a really good work and top quality on theses videos . I just discovered your channel (bought my 1st battle group last week) and Wahoooo .... !

[@PaPaCrazy87]

YAY!!!! today is a good day a Mass Efffect game play video, a telltales the walking dead trailer and a video off Miranda. Great video as always can't wait for your next one. :)

[@isotope2217]

You must do so much work post production... impressed as always.

[@akaruvailen5271]

loved all your tough rolls. nothing like using the enemy's tactics against them lol

[@barriball28]

good game and fantastic camera work

[@mattpants6178]

Great job. Please keep up the great content

[@flyingdread9364]

can someone please tell me if i should get a behemoth or conquest

[@cramnh0j]

Behemoth.

[@WarGamerGirl]

I love Behemoth =)

[@flyingdread9364]

WarGamerGirl ok thanks

[@lloydgush]

Three videos of yours and all I can get out of this is don't play the lottery, and you love assassination.

[@Reagusmage]

Holy shit, several months after starting Patreon so she can produce more Warmahordes vids, she finally makes an actual Warmahordes vid :O Holy shit, I never thought the spam of video game playthrough vids for easy Patreon money would end!

[@WarGamerGirl]

+Reagusmage My Patreon *only* pays for Warmachine (tabletop)batreps. There was never any payment for the Tactics missions. I just made them because I wanted to.

[@Chainsawsb]

Reagusmage i liked the tactics videos, and they were probably easier to create and edit than her batreps, so it was a nice way to add more content to her channel.

[@Reagusmage]

WarGamerGirl That makes sense - But it doesn't change the fact that you started Patreon so you'd have more time to dedicate to making Warmahordes battle reports.... and then continued releasing them at a painfully low pace, and even got worse. Just a bit disingenious

[@karatefylla]

I liked this but the music was driving me out of my mind, it's a bit to loud to have constantly running in the background.

[@MrNosreme70]

Simply the best battle reports out there, bar none. Just wish you played something in addition to khador (variety).

[@WarGamerGirl]

I only ever play Khador, but I have been filming battle reports with two completely different players to get more variety for you guys =)

[@sirbig89]

anybody here play rorsch and brine with khador ? I really wanna try it but don't know if it's good

[@vegavonvega]

I have no idea how I found this page or what's going on, but I want to play this game lol

[@matteodalfonso]

Star from here: privateerpress.com/

[@MrMalorian]

Hard to come back from that massive alpha.

[@Ketiseb]

OH GOD YOU ARE BACK AT LAST

[@Borhamus]

Love your videos girl ♡ ¡keep it up!

[@kensaiix]

Skittles!!!! Here is an idea: use those as focus/fury ; every time one is spent, eat them :-)

[@kadishevdox]

Need more warmachine battle reports!!

[@lorebinderentertainment1804]

Frank seems like a fun opponent.

[@WarGamerGirl]

I always enjoyed playing against him.

[@EmuFH]

You make awesome videos but try doing a 75 pt battle report

[@ethantaylor9613]

Ug, those damned Russian ballet lists! And with the anti-tough knives, this couldn't have been a worse match up for trolls.

[@Biorythym]

Dude could stand to look more thrilled with standing next to an attractive girl who loves wargaming....I would totally be geeking out!

[@BarbeChenue]

Yay!! ~happy

[@mrdragmon]

Next time do Press forward order to artillery, so you could charge a +3 bonus gaining 1" of distance...!!!

[@itzdaman]

Yeah, Khador!

[@КонстантинФ-л3ю]

A long time since you could not see Miranda

[@WarGamerGirl]

I'm back!

[@КонстантинФ-л3ю]

I am very glad to see you again!

[@marcopal2398]

nice video. but the troll player forgot that the dire trolls have snacking, removing boxed models from play. so no tough check

[@psycojester]

Unless they changed the order of triggers, you check for tough at the boxed trigger so it doesn;t matter if that attack that caused it then subsequently RFPs.

[@Chainsawsb]

Marco Pal you trigger tough on disabled (order is disabled, boxed, destroyed) and snacking removes from play on the destroyed step. they played it right.

[@marcopal2398]

my mistake, thank you

[@bloodpressurenotgood]

Wow so clear on what's going on! Hahahaha nice

[@busterpro02]

Production quality is great but game quality is kinda poor. What I mean by that is for exemple, in MK3, you can premesure. In no way should the bomber be caught "off guard" by Wind Ravager from the Koldun Lord. It's like watching a 12 years old playing hockey on National TV. Yeah it's hockey and the image quality is good by they're 12 and it's not engaging to watch. I feel most of your videos are like this. Watching a player making rookie mistakes no matter how good the production quality is is not good enough for me. I really hope you don't get this comment as hateful because I really want you to succeed in making a good warmachine video. I like watching battle report but the 2x speed with voice over or the 2 hours+ are not attractive either.

[@Biorythym]

Well in the Trolllblood players defense, this video was made only 4-5months after Mk3 came out, so "pre measuring" is probably not a habit one can develop quickly if you were mostly familiar with Mk2

[@benjaminpowers609]

Need terrain tutorial now. For reasons.

[@kadishevdox]

Oh......bowl of candy.....nom nom

[@herbievalerius5740]

Khador=Cah-door Irusk=Eeroosk. 🙄 This is probably why Warmachine died😅 nobody agrees on the pronunciation Who is Owen anyway?

[@Bottle_Baron]

Just subscribed. :)

[@WarGamerGirl]

Thank you =)

[@CthulhusDream]

It feels like you stomped him good, like no chance of him winning that lol

[@joebumbler9430]

I'm dying to watch you run the Mad Dog spam against some clueless hordes player. Sadly you are too nice a lady to play that kind of cheese.

[@WarGamerGirl]

+Joe Bumbler I heard it dominated WMW. Definitely not my style though. Plus I really can't justify buying that many of the same model . =)

[@VetBodGaming]

So this is the secret, put a woman in charge and all of a sudden we have quality BatReps explaining what's going on. Seriously though this BatRep is very well done.

[@msd10ify]

all hail khador

[@EngineerJeff]

Yay! Khador WINS!

[@psycojester]

PP fucked Hordes so badly with MK3, fingers crossed that the Jan errata gets the game to the point it should have been at on release.

[@ShouldveTurnedLeft]

How do you figure? Trolls and Circle have some of the biggest boogeyman out there, and every Hordes faction (except Skorne at the moment) are very good and quite viable. I Primarily play Circle and Legion and have great success with both, and if I had the ability to pick up Minions I would.

[@psycojester]

Circle is legit and probably the strongest Hordes faction atm, pieces like Una2, Cassius and the redesigned Sentry Stones give them a lot of answers to both the Jack Spam and Gunline Meta. Madrak2 while totally a boogeyman still has a rough time against players who're expecting him and have the tools designed to answer him. The best indicator of this is the WTC where Madrak2 had close to a 40% winrate while Cassius was batting around 60%. Generally this is because Madrak2 punishes bad positioning and over commitment super hard. Trolls are weak atm because PP took the things that they said they were going to fix about the faction and made them a lot worse instead. Previously Trollbloods were a combined arms faction that relied on Animi and layered buffs on solid infantry options to get work done. Now all of our infantry got nerfed (burrowers, Kriel warriors, champions) had their natural predators buffed (fennblades) and our support pieces have become more expensive and our animi were restricted to self (making the majority of the elemental trolls useless in the process). This combined with the nerfs to tough with no compensation in either point costing or stat rebalancing makes pretty much everything that isn't a Fire Eater or a Warder a non-starter for Troll melee lists since the single wound infantry sucks or gets shot to death by rifle corp before they can ever make their points back. Trolls are basically pushed into running a beast brick, because PP saw how much everybody hated the Snipe Tax the Impaler placed on our ranged options, PP decided that every single beast in Trolls should be about 2 POW weaker than you'd naturally expect it to because paying the Rage Tax would be much more fun. This is 100% intentional on PPs part which is why the animus appears twice in the faction and the Mauler is so reasonably costed compared to the rest of the beast line up (looking at you 11 point Mauler). For your heavy options you've got the Mauler which is great and the Bomber who's also pretty good, the EBDT sucks as it's a 15 point heavy that can't kill a light jack without having a Mauler to follow it around casting Rage, Mulg is a shadow of his former self, the Blitzer has all the things people hated about him in MK2 because some moron designer at PP thinks that random RoF is 'fun' and Rok while very good is also quite expensive. Both of the Gargantuans are fine. This play style and the overall meta for MK3 basically puts the list of playable casters down to Gunnbjorn, Madrak2, Ragnor, Horgle2, Calandra since they're the casters who can deliver our pieces, or in Madraks case don't give a shit if everybody dies because they're going to do all the work themselves. The worst part is the obvious lack of care/work that was done on the Hordes side of things compared to the Warmachine, take a look at the complete lack of effort put into eBorka's redesign compared to how Karchev turned out, or hell look at pMadrak a caster who just straight up doesn't do anything well and has a terrible fury stat to boot. Every single Troll list these days goes Krielstone Mauler Axer Warders Fire Eaters Lanyssa Fit in what I can around the edges, it makes the faction very stale and boring, its why you're seeing so many veteran Troll players jumping ship.

[@Chainsawsb]

psycojester the trollbloods player made some questionable decisions in their game. why didn't he attack the juggernaut for example? he probably would have done enough to kill him with rage and stone strength up.
