[@cliff7641]

Ive wanted a Bretonnian army since 3rd edition came out. Finally collected and painted one the year fantasy was killed and AOS was announced. I built it anyway, as a tribute. I used the old heraldry rules from the 96 army book and went so far as to build the little chapel from a White Dwarf tutorial as a center for my display. Ive played several games of AOS on magnetized bases (I refused to put them on rounds) and 1 game of 8th. Your battle report here has me so excited for the time I can finally get a game of Old World in with them! Ive seen a lot of Old World battle reports, but something about your style here gripped me like a rusty chain wrapped around my arm in a street fight.

[@DrBlaxill]

@@cliff7641 Stillmanic values there my friend! I've not built any buildings but I'd like to one day. I also like the 3rd ed Brets and have some peasants and a bombard from that era. Not done any knights yet though. They still sort of play the same as 8th in TOW, and feel good to play. I.e the knights are brittle but hit hard, as they should do.

Yep. In all editions. In 6th ed they had the 360 too! In 4th and 5th- fly high!

[@knedoshane]

[@MajerBlundor6Actual]

I started playing with 2e circa 1988 in college (box set with three thin books). I also played 3e and then switched to historicals. Dabbled with 6 and 7 but despised the cash grab that was 8. I believe TOW is one of the worst editions, combining the fiddly-ness of early editions with theme-killing power gaming incentives (eg line hammer nonsense). But I truly enjoy your battle reports! 👍 Even though TOW is not my cup of tea, your enthusiasm for the wargaming hobby is both inspiring and infectious regardless one's favorite rules. 🙂

I collect and play Bretonnians since the 90's and rock to this day my 5th edition plastic Knights of the Realm in core. After 5th edition, I played 6th with mostly a Ravening Hordes booklet or White Dwarf list until an army book finally came out at basically the end - and 7th and 8th without a new one. Now that I can play my favorite army of mythic arthurian glory in TOW, people don't want me to play Bretonnians because they are seen as "OP meta chasing"... I'd rather go back to being an underdog. Now I have to feel dirty for bringing one of my favorite (and near universally loved) model.

Congratulations on the victory! Have you tried using the prayer icon on Fleur the Prophetess instead of the locket on Duke Vollier? I'm more of a Tomb Kings enjoyer, but I was curious on your thoughts as I've still got the Bretonnian box set in my pile of shame and have been doing some theorycrafting for a 2000 point list as motivation. To me it seems most dragons focus on survivability and save stacking, meaning that many games don't involve multi-wound shenanigans at all, but everyone brings a level 4. This might just be my Mortuary Cult bias filtering in, but it just seems more useful in more games, but as I've no real hands-on experience I was wondering if you have used it/had any experience with it.

Best WWE promo intro i ever saw

[@Drogmir]

I find it interesting you've mostly dumped the presence of peasant as much as you legally could. I keep getting into arguments online about their viability and have found in the tourneys I have brought peasant men at arms or bowmen too. They're theoretically great on paper, but the nature of Old World being herohammer heavy just means blocks of infantry just don't really pull their weight other than as roadbumps. I've gotten some success with a Grail Reliqaue (and some arguing with people if I was allowed to embed a Paladin with a Grail vow and virtue of empathy in it to auto supply itself) but not to the levels where bringing them is an auto include versus just more Pegasus Knights. But I enjoy your videos for their analysis and more importantly data to back it up with your applied experience.

Who is this man with the shiny glasses? Is it the infamous Blake Luxill??? Punks.

[@damonburgess9631]

Thanks for the battle report and congratulations on your victories! I agree with your thoughts on meta chasing and the current state of the game. Warhammer has always been about more than just winning; it's about the nostalgia and the passion for bringing your beloved army to life on the battlefield. Without new rules, editions, units, etc. the game would eventually become predictable, and repetitive army lists surfacing can lead to despair. Coloring the game with missions forces revision, and in that can bring new excitement / perspective. Warhammer balances both the nostalgic past and the exciting future, and I love that. I still cherish my old Chaos army from the 80s and early 90s, hunting down those models as a young man when I started playing in 1994, and finally getting my hands on them over the years. Though I live in the States, I'd love to compete in UK tournaments - does anyone know which ones are coming up in 2025?

[@DrBlaxill]

Exactly- the nostalgic past with the promising future combined. There are some facebook groups called 'Old World events' or similar. I'm admin on one of them. I also find the facebook events search is quite useful. Personally if I was travelling I wouldn't go to the London GT as my first pick as (being London) its not the most social- at some of the more provincial ones players will go to dinner on the Saturday etc or indeed also maybe play a casual game on the Friday night too. More of a full weekend experience. I do one tournament myself, London Legends, held in May time (c.40-50 players) although that's an 8th ed holdout!

[@charlesthomashanley]

Great report. Coming from a competitive background too, I agree with some of your conclusions, but not all. There are still a lot of list building tactics possible, and the game is still evolving. Dragons do not feel so overpowered to me, contrary to the green knight or some skirmisher units. In reality everything that grants mobility is very strong :-).

I believe in your second game the goblin boss has to use wallopas one hit wonder as its a magic weapon and if you have a magic weapon you must use it.

[@ClydeMillerWynant]

He has to use it, but he gets to choose when he uses it with its special profile (has to be the first round of a combat though).

[@thecappeningchannel515]

I feel this list is good, but like an diamond in the rough it can still be distilled even more. 😅 3x3 pegasi? Hippogryph for the duke? BSB with virtue of duty and warbanner for +3CR? Something beardier can be done with those final ≈150 pts thats sloshing around as squires and yeomen here. 🎉 I'm bringing a very similar list to a few christmas games this year and will use questing knights as I have the models and I cant cheeze out. But I believe Blaxhill will evolve the list and will admire his brutality at the tables as I take notes and copy. 😂

[@DrBlaxill]

I fear the obvious choice is get rid of the yeomen and squires and make a few cuts elsewhere and squeeze in another 3 pegs! But I am not sure I quite can bring myself to, it is so grim!!!! I have been running Duty on the Paladin for a while but I prefer Confidence for the time being as I think that is usually worth a combat res anyway and its half the points.

[@mrsnakesmrnot8499]

Hippogryph does not get 360 line of sight, so a dragon can stay out of the Duke’s line of sight. The royal peg is most efficient. The points saved can go toward mounted yeomen who protect the mage from shooting attacks.

[@jago2503]

Congrats! That said, I have to say I wish you hadn't frontloaded the conclusion. Wanting to know how you'll do is part of what excites me about watching these videos. I may of course be in a minority here.

I 100% agree. I would normally not do so. What happened was I was going to make the video more of a discussion than a BRep, but in the end my summations turned out to be more like my 'proper' BRs than I intended.

[@jago2503]

@@DrBlaxill Ah, glad to hear it! Thoroughly enjoying the video thus far :)

[@jago2503]

​@DrBlaxill having watched through, glad to hear you discussing comp at the end. That's seemed like a big gap in the discussion around ToW balance, I think perhaps influenced by the 40k competitive scene's relative lack of comp? It certainly seems to be the way forward. I'd like to suggest, though, that it should start off relatively minimal, as a penalty to dragons, 360° nonskirmishers and relatively little else. To use your analogy of the ecosystem, I suspect that currently the dominance of draconic apex predators means that only they and armies well adapted to them can compete. Hence in part brets thriving - to borrow a concept that was used for Imperial Knights in late 40k, dragons set a checkpoint to be passed for any seeking to win a tournament, and Brets have the tools to pass this appropriately arthurian test with flying colours. Without this checkpoint, there'd be a flatter base of "top lists", allowing more of a showing from second-tier lists that could deal with some but not necessarily all of those non-draconic leaders. Anyway, being competitively interested but not active myself (played competitive 40k a while back but quit, never had a fantasy scene around me) I was glad to see you speaking to the "silent majority". Sadly, I think a lot of the louder voices for narrative and good old-fashioned fun have been siphoned off into the homebrew forks (especially WAP), leaving the core game discussion bound to RAW and competition. Temporarily, I hope.

@@DrBlaxill That´s wild! This is so Warhammer.

[@federicoronchi725]

We don't allow special characters in the national league here in my country (prior to old world we had a much stronger 6th ed. Culture rahther than 8th and in 6th it was the norm not to allow special characters in matched play) and i really think this factor really decides the stark superiority of bretonnians. They are still a top tier army even without the green knight but dealing with stuff like fanatics and elf dragonlords with 2+ wards is a break point you can't really achieve without an ethereal powerhouse that comes out and charges in the same turn.

[@Martian94]

Careful what you wish for regarding mission focused balance. Before you know it, your pegasus knights will be sitting on objective markers while your peasants perform actions in the battlefield corners 😬

[@uclearwhale]

Great video, I have to agree with your analysis of the Old World competitive meta, looking at these armies and these games they barely resemble what WHFB should (at least in my opinion) be, and that's sad to see. I also agree with what you said about "nerfhammer", I think that reworking core rules should always be preferred over specifically targeted nerfs to individual units, except in the most egregious cases, else it becomes an eternal game of whack-a-mole. In regards to your twin sentinels tournament I was wondering if there was anywhere we could see the final results for that, after finding out it used a home brewed scenario pack I was incredibly interested to see how that effected what performed well but couldn't find any information anywhere.

[@DrBlaxill]

The lists you can see on the 'Twin Sentinels' facebook page. The pack I think has been removed from there, but shoot me an email if you would like it (in my description). Yes, I must admit as a classically minded player many of the OW tables look horrible to me, especially the skirmishers and lines- and the fact that there is very little diversity in build and only a few armies. But to some extent one must respect the stylistic decisions they have taken, although some of the core rules choices are in my view very strange. More on these things in a couple of weeks time...

[@ClydeMillerWynant]

Good video, well done again on the win. My prediction was that this video wouldn't tell us anything different to the previous tournament one and I guess that's pretty much the case, still enjoyed it though. I do think it's slightly fortuitous that the competitive Bretonnia list still looks something like an army even if it doesn't play like one as you allude to during the High Elves game. How many elves were in that army by the way, the previous low that I've seen was 27?

[@DrBlaxill]

Exactly. It doesn't tell us much more than the last one did. I made it mainly so I could discuss the game more generally- the actually battles were not the most immersive as they were too one-sided, apart from the second game. He had: 3 units of 5 spearmen, 5 silver helms, and 10 reavers. And then I guess two crew on the skycutter, elf prince, elf mage (though the dragons weren't modelled with riders). So 34, or 30 if you don't count those.

[@thecappeningchannel515]

Whats the rationale behind taking the mounted yeomen?

[@DrBlaxill]

just that they give Fleur a reserve move when she's with them. That's not really enough on its own though, not sure I'll bring them again in competitive play.

Yes, I think so. They'd be good to do at one point- probably Bretonians I have more experience with, although I think I'd like a few games with Exiles under my belt first!
