So nice to see someone else who has to be reminded about lengthy in-person conversations they had fairly recently… 😅😂

[@bruvaasmodai5250]

I can respect Winters being confidently wrong on the 1+D3 hull points on super heavy vehicles

[@wintersSEO]

So confident. So wrong.

[@repthe21st66]

Every time I see these lovely Horus Heresy battle reports at thousands and thousands of points with such open maps it never fails to surprise me what a huge advantage going first is for shooty armies. I don't think I could handle that very well.

[@aidenodonoghue]

Iron Within! Iron Without!! Stunning army and that Fellblade looks amazing.

[@Thedagda801]

Brilliant stuff! ❤ fabulous armies! A Fellblade is always good to see! Possibly one of the best narrative battles I’ve seen!

[@arn03]

Another great vid!

[@bigjoeflo]

Sharowkyn was a Raven Guard who served on an Iron Hands ship after Istvaan. He was the only Raven Guard amongst them.

[@Omnissiah92]

So awesome dude, I love the Iron Warriors but the hazard stripes are intimidating to paint 😅

[@zenosAnalytic]

Another way this was a wonderfully narrative game: From Perturabo's perspective a few badly mauled stragglers doesn't detract from his victory, but Horus will yell at him anyway for their being any survivors at all XD XD

[@ched---]

What a perfect way to spend a Sunday morning, cheers Winters 😁

I read the title of the video and said "Ah hell yeah."

[@wargamereric9929]

Is that a Jim'll Paint it shirt? Hell ya

[@stevenotrob6513]

Well spotted

[@wrathofconstantine9720]

SteveNotRob woot woot!!! Great Batrep guys love the narrative and armies look killer. Cheers 1010011010111011110110011101100100110111011111110111101010010101011110111

[@ceridangitp]

Great battle report gents! Lore question, didn't the Iron Circle come into being a little after Istvaan? Something to do with an Imperial Fist retribution fleet almost getting to Purturabo?

[@wintersSEO]

The Battle of Phall. Yes. But don't tell anyone ok.

[@crsmith6226]

38:23 those raven guard deserve a promotion

[@Halwolf]

I think both of the armies achieved their objectives... The iron warriors were there to kill; they certainly did, the iron hands needed to escape with anything they could and they did

[@Hermit_hobby]

Iirc hammer of olympia only allows predator/ vindicator/ spartan and proteus raiders to ignore shaken and stunned

[@PurpsUK2]

Couldn't agree more, Heresy is closer to what 40k was back in the good old days, none of this quintuple times 10 stacked buffs for marine armies, just pure blasting, charging and groaning, rather than I get 50 re rolls because of this, and -4 because of this, then another -2 because this is over here, and you get -6 million because I have this and this, oh and finally all my saves are auto because of this guy with this addon and then because I used this I get extra points for all my other units, blah, blah, blah. Oh and even though my marine units buff everything else on the table AND are stupidly hard, your Night bringer is soooooooo overpowered because it can wipe out a marine unit in one go.

[@joachimmeier7318]

Keep them alive!

[@wolflordcain5817]

That was awesome!! In answer to the raven guard losses 3,000 from 92,000 is: 97% losses 😢

[@wintersSEO]

That's rather a lot

[@wolflordcain5817]

@ using those numbers it definitely is horrendous.

BASEMENT JAXX!!!! Do I get bonus points for knowing that song even though I'm an American (it wasn't very popular here)? As usual, amazing batrep. One day I'll own a Fellblade... Gorgeous paint on these armies.

😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smile's Merry Christmas to the Winter's play house crew.... it's a game i love prezzie's .....

[@bruvaasmodai5250]

I find it really, really hard to root for Iron Warriors armies. Their rules are so solid and the iron circle are diiiirty

[@Tom_Cruise_Missile]

I can't really get into any of these games because I can't stand seeing half my army die turn 1 because the enemy gets to fire an entire volley off before I can react/vice versa. They dipped their toes into playing back and forth but didn't go far enough with reactions. It should be a real back and forth, unit by unit. That way you're playing against your opponent in a battle, not some weird slap fight where each side takes turns hitting each other.l

[@Jimmy-pf7kr]

I 'member... he 'members... him 'memberss.... The owd mon forgot 😂😂 love it when you 2 play!! Owd skool days! Did you 2 smoke cigarettea back then?? 😂😂😂 gorgeous armies peeps!!

[@Knekt-u7f]

13:18 its D6 autohits

[@darrenquarterman2611]

What happens to the -1 to shooting or plus one to your armour on this big battles as the first turn are so brutal who ever goes first has such a huge advantage

[@stevenotrob6513]

Watch to the end. You will enjoy it

[@darrenquarterman2611]

@@stevenotrob6513not the point winters goes easy on guests I feel 😂

[@awefullgamertj6445]

Not sure if I’m missing something, but shouldn’t the chaplains unit have passed their morale check?

[@wintersSEO]

Yes. You're right. That would have been a good thing to remember at the time.
