With Age of Sigmar, quick games are unfortunately a part of it sometimes and not every game is going to be a 5 round slugfest. These are games against customers that come in that I go through and recap, so I don't have power over how they choose to deploy or the decisions they make. As far as not liking the format, that's okay, everyone's different! The goal of these is to be on the more educational side, trying to explain the why behind the decisions both players are making rather than pure entertainment and dice rolls. This quick game wasn't awesome for that, but again quick games happen sometimes. If you're looking for a traditional battle report I'd recommend the guys over at Season of War, they're the best in the business when it comes to those.

​@@warpfireminis Idk, I tend to find Season of War is a bit over-produced for my taste. I prefer Battleshock Wargaming. Much more of a "two dudes playing Warhammer" vibe, rather than "two dudes and a production team making youtube content". The narrated parts randomly placed throughout throw me off. If more of an educational vibe is what you're looking for, don't take my comment as insult, you caught the vibe few, if any, others are providing.

Siegler rules! For the table it's one I had custom made by an artsy friend of mine. After making it I asked if he'd be interested in making them for other people and he said no haha, so sorry about that!

@warpfireminis Seigs is a G. He's one of my favorite coaches, plays most of the armies I do, but dont tell the others, lol. Noooooo! The table is so nice! But seriously, fair, that's a lot of work to make tables. Thanks for the reply!

Every game you play is going to be very different based on the flow of the game, I'm personally a big fan. It helps keep "bad" armies in the game against the best armies, and always gives you a glimmer of hope and reason to keep playing even when you're down big. I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea because it definitely can swing a game one way or the other, but there's plenty you can do to play around it and top players still have very consistent win rates, so it's not just random.

The way it works now is: - You set up one Gnawhole during deployment in your deployment zone. - Then at the start of each battle round (including the first one!) you can put another one out anywhere you want outside of 9" of enemies and 3" of other terrain. - Once you have 3 Gnawholes out you can't add any more.

@@warpfireminis great! Thanks for that information!

You're allowed to shoot things that are in combat! You typically can't shoot with your own unit if you're in combat yourself, unless you have the "Shoot in Combat" tag on the weapon profile.

I'll see what we can do!

Thank you!

That'd be under 5.2, Using Abilities. The timing tells you when it -can- be used, it's up to you to Declare it for it to actually happen.

@@warpfireminis thanks

Haha, if you don't know our background I totally get that; these are games against customers that come into our shop here in Florida! I take notes and pictures of the games and then walk them back for the videos to try and show people a little bit more of what's going on strategy-wise. If you ever find yourself in Florida shoot us an email to schedule a game against the rats!

We'll see less double turns overall, but there definitely are some circumstances that you still want to take it and try to go for the win.

We'll definitely get to some more regular content here soon! I'm playing tons of games, but with it being so early it's a lot of people's first game, or they only have a couple games under their belt which can lead to some lopsided and less entertaining games (or ones where I just have to take my foot off the gas); 4th edition is one that really takes some getting used to. That said we're firing up The Challenge again next week, so we'll start covering those games and they should be more competitive since there's prizes on the line!

@@warpfireminis Awesome! I get it. I've only played a couple of games but I really like the new edition. It feels like alot of the rules are way more logical. How are you feeling towards 4th? Looking forward to the upcoming content.

@@ScreamingD So far I'm loving it! I think it's easily the best edition yet and overall is just a lot more fun for both players. With the index there are a few balance things they'll get dialed in army-wise, and then I'm super curious to see what they do with Manifestations. They're heavily impacting games right now, so that's either intended and we need to build our lists to work with it, or they tone them down a bit, hopefully we find out soon!

@@warpfireminis agreed, however i think they should revisit and balance the manifestation lores. i love the idea of spells having models but morbid conjuration is just way better than the others and even amongst those there is a huge difference, especially looking at the slaves to darkness manifestation lore. i thought its kind of fun, not too strong for summoning for free, a bit of flavour etc. when i read it, however when i saw what others do im really disappointed. they are just on a different level.

@@warpfireminis I agree 100% And yeah, I hope they level the Manifestations a bit, it would be nice if the choice between the different manifestation lores were harder than it seems to be now.

The battle formation for Pestilens and the one for Soulblight both do that.

We ship them out Tuesday or Wednesday of every week, if you want to send me an email I can check the status of yours! You can change the setting any time you'd like, and there's also a notes section where you can add in extra preferences too!

The Plague Monk pile-in is super powerful. It didn't get to flex in this one since the game was so quick, but so many cool opportunities.

Best detachment, best Verminlord, best chaff! The Plague Monk pile in is ridiculously powerful.

@@warpfireminis I mean sure, but don't you need to buff the beejesus out of them with Skavenbrew and a priest for them to slap? Running both Eshin and Pestilens seems like stretching the army around two different buff targets and lacking the buff sticks

The Plague Monks and Night Runners aren't in the list to do damage, their purpose is to screen, be bodies on objectives, and then tie things up in combat. The Monks piling in at the end of turn gives you lots of chances to just tie things in combat and make them waste their turn fighting Monks instead of getting on objectives or fighting your main pieces. Eshin doesn't really get any buffs at all in any of the battle formations, the Night Runners are just best in class with the 130 points I have left in the list and the Deceiver is the MVP almost every single game with his base abilities + Scurry Away + Foulhide.

He was zapping units here and there, just with the Deceiver healing D3 at the end of every turn it never added up!

These are games against customers who come into our shop! You can schedule a game against me via email, then I take notes/pictures throughout the game and just walk back through it for these videos, trying to explain some of the strategy/decisions that took place.

He tends to do repeats of games he played and explains what happened

He did lol

Yep!

One is set up at the start of the game and then one at the start of each battle round proper right?

You get one during deployment, and then one at the start of each battle round, including the start of the first!

thank you 😊👍 that makes it easier next game 🤓
