Lol, the ABSENCE of LINEHAMMER is now HEADLINE NEWS!
After they told me it didn't exist!
Haha I just had to do it ! I think we will see caps at most events soon , I’ve played against the 40 long line rangers before and it’s just stupid
It's just clickbait like your video was, mate. Move on.
@@morerobotwarscontent1476 Hi Bro X
@@Dawiafterdark I played 2 x 35 rangers for about 5 games at the beginning of OW with Adament Lord and some gyros. It wasn't unbeatable and still wasnt very good against dragons- but it was universally miserable!
@Dawiafterdark 40 you say lol
Very excited for the How to play Series!
I tried making a few how to play videos on my own channel, but they were both a lot of work and low production. So I'm excited to see someone else make them and make them better!
They are so much work it’s taking me ages I’d have wanted to have them out by now but is taking longer than anticipated hahaha
Just starting a Dawi army, I haven't even built any minis yet... Loving the videos! Looking forward to settling some grudges in the new year!
Yes !!! Welcome to the holds !!!
Thanks a lot for all the videos so far. I love the Tournament reports format and look forward for the new format content.
Thank you ! Glad you’re enjoying them !
A Dawi for Dummies beginners guide would be really appreciated. Just starting in TOW after spending most my gaming life in 40k
I’m just working on it now hopefully start soon , turns out the rulebook is pretty big haha
Man, the music is really stunning. What a hit, what you can do with AI is crazy.
Thanks mate ! I know right it’s just honestly crazy !
@@Dawiafterdark We need the link for suno or whenever you created it!. We also did some power metal songs for our Bloodbowl League and we didn't even believe the result.
@@tehgriefer9317 so I used aimusic.so
It’s honestly crazy ! I bet those were great !
The first Obi-Wan "Hello there!" of 2025!
Hello there ⛏️⛏️
Good Idea with the Beginners Guide! Lookin forward!
Awesome battle report thanks for your videos and all the info you always include. Happy new year.
Thank you so much for watching ! Happy new year !
congrats on a great year! Been a great addition to the online old world content.
Thank you mate really appreciate it !!
@@Dawiafterdark And next time im back home in the shire I'll hit you up for a game!
@ I’d love a game mate ! Hope you’ve been well bro !
Great stuff.
I’ve been intentionally not doing linehammer simply to be different all year. I’ve found it to be surprisingly successful despite worldwide meta.
Plus it just “feels” like Warhammer fantasy.
Congrats on the win!
And I love your coat!
@@keithr9640 thank you ! Well done for that ! It’s actually fine not just trying to maximise everything just because you can . And yes definitely feels more like warhammer !
the moment I realize I'm playing amateur league and Richy is playing Champions League Warhammer.
Anyway, Go Dawi Go Richy.
Happy New Year
@@MrCarnage187 cheers mate ! I just love the super hard games , glutton for punishment I think haha , thank you mate really appreciate it !!! Happy new year !!
Gratz on wining!
@@mikek2662 cheers bro !
Happy New Year and looking forward to more Dawi After Dark!
Happy new years mate !!
Well done on the event and the channel progress mate!
Cheers mate ! Appreciate it ! Need to get you back on the channel soon !
I wish you all a good new year with a lot of resolved grudges to come. And i really like Richies announcement for Tutorial Videos
@@Stormoak thank you mate really appreciate it !! Happy new years !!
Love it. Very cool. And congratulations! I’m so looking forward to your new “ game theory “ stuff and how to play the game vids. Sounds very informative and cool. 🖤
Thanks mate appreciate it !!
Irondrakes are so damn good, well done Richie! Happy new year!
I do love them , but they will abandon you when you need them most hahaha happy new year !
Great post appreciate the channel and as a brand new player for Dawi very excited to hear what you will be doing in 2025
Thank you I hope you enjoy them !
Congratz Richey! HNY!!
Thanks mate ! Happy new years !
Awesome to see people play 'legacy' armies - even competatively.
I know some of them are doing amazing aswell !
Best video yet Richy
@@ComandaKronikk thanks mate !!! Appreciate it !
Those mammoth models in the Norsca themed army are brilliant.
I know amazing aren’t they !!!
i think the idea to create more how to play videos is great.
Fun report again! Seems a pretty regular group of people you are playing against.
Thank you ! So for some reason me and Ed always end up playing either first game or last game , wether it be in London or in the midlands , and I’ve played Jack twice now this year which has been really nice as he’s a great guy ! The uk tournament scene isn’t massive I think there is only about 1000 people that play in events in the uk , so it’s nice when you do get to play against your freinds though !
Yeheeeeeeey nice! From basic rules to advance once! 😊
@@anthonycruz2277 it’s coming !
Looking forward to all the new content!
@@thesigmaritepainter7803 thank you !!
It was just announced that a large tournament in my area will have old world this year, this tournament averages +200 40k players so it'll be great to see how many old world players there will be, I'm going to take my dwarfs, it'll also be my first old world tournament
Ohhh amazing where is that one ? Hopefully you get a load of players ! Good luck with them !! You will smash it !
@Dawiafterdark it's Arc40k in Melbourne, iv been to the 40k tournament there and last year the Age of Sigmar, this year will be old world
You look warm AF in the car dude
Was bloody freezing outside ! 😂😂
man you are smashing it as Dorfs, hopefully in this year i'll be able to buy back the tomb kings and jump into the game a bit after the shit show last year was
Thanks man ! Hopefully you have a much better year than last year mate ! Aww amazing !!
The second someone uses line hammer tactics I shake their hand and pack up
I’m like that with multiple
Dragons 😂
Great content did i miss the army list lol.
Monstrous cav (gyros)are a unit strength of 3 each,the x list allows you to take scout gyro in units of 2.so should be all good to taking objectives ,or is it played in UK in unit numbers eg 5 minis.
@@deangillam8604 I didn’t put it in as I’ve spoke about it in previous videos :) so it’s minimum unit str 10 to hold objectives at this event which is a nightmare for gyros haha
Wow that does make it hard ,I'll check through your previous videos .keep the content coming.

@Dawiafterdark thankyou
Hey Richie, thanks for all the great content you've put out, it's really helped me on my return to Warhammer fantasy. What list did you use in this last event as when ever i run my armies i always feel light on units and you appear to only be running 4?
All the best
Rock and Stone Brother
Thank you ! Glad you’ve been enjoying them ! And enjoying fantasy ! So I prefer smaller armies with the dwarfs because there’s strength in numbers in units and you can pack tighter so if one flank is it trouble the other unit can come help , here’s the list ! ===

Last question, to any dawi really. The anvil do you set it up with characters or war machines or is it personal choice?
Sets up with warmachines :)
Hey, I just bought a bunch of dwarf minis from a friend at my FLGS. It seems to be the Battle for Skull Pass set. I got a lot of miners and I was wondering if miners are taken in any dwarf lists? I haven't seen slayers much either, the unit or daemon/dragon slayers.
Nice !!! Yeah people do take them ! I think they could be great in a force list popping up behind the enemy , Geoff in America is running full slayer list and he’s doing great aswell !
@@Dawiafterdark That’s good to hear, I see so many Dragons. It just seems prudent to either take a Dragon Slayer or two. What’re your thoughts on Doomseekers?
I know bloody dragons are everywhere aren’t they ! Haha rune of smiting on a king deals with dragons too , I really like doom seekers rune of alric the mad transfers to the impact hits too !
It sounds like a great idea to make videos for new players. I haven’t found any good ones.
If you can show the rules with miniatures while you are explaining them - it would be perfect.
And for the more advanced players you could make “rules many are getting wrong”.
I play Kill Team and there are videos helping new player and rules many play wrong.
I wasn’t going to do it but I’ve had a fair few people Asking for it and if I can help out I will :) yeah there is a lot of stuff people are still getting wrong so il try to address all that !
@ I think they will be great videos - I am sure they will do a lot good for the community - I am looking forward for them. 💪
Enjoyed your interview with the ogre player. Keen to see how his 9 man guts nit does vs the 12 man bulls he ran last time. How did he find it?
So we’ve spoken since and he’s added the dragon hide banner to the unit to get reroll ones , the attacks are such good quality when they get through but he rolled terribly against me
@Dawiafterdark yeah always been an issue for ogres. Even in editions past. Keen to see how the new gyro list performs, I never enjoyed my dwarves as much is past editions as the slow movement just meant I was sort of forced to gunliney armies it felt but with the new drill and reform rules they look way more mobile which is great.
Man its good to see proper wfb back, cool as as models are theres just no satisfaction as there's no importance placed on outmanoeuvring opponents
@@michaellarkin8049 yeah if the ogres can get the hits through they are devistating it’s just getting them to hit that’s the issue , gyros are fun I’m just waiting to hear about what comps are going to be placed on them before I commit to a list and share it to the internet as don’t want to be called out 😂 yeah I complete agree I’m so happy it’s back !!!
I mentioned Richie created a new unit typ in his second Battlereport : "Longdrakes" which would be a great Regiment of Renown
@@Stormoak hahaha I know I was going to edit it out but thought against it haha , definitely needs to be a unit !
@@Dawiafterdark Just add "Veteran" and 'Drilled" and the Longbeard Rule of "Venerable" for maybe 4-5 Pt. per modell and limit the unit size to 10 and with the consens of your opponent you would have a Mercenary Regiment of Renown for Casual Games. In honour of the old Days were GW created several Regiments of Renown in the WD the Longdrakes could be lead be a named Hero which had to stay in the unit > Fireball Thane
@ fireball thane with a drakegun to lead the regiment of renown ! Would be amazing that definitely great for narrative games ! Could be the first line of defence in the narrow tunnels of the deep !
@@Dawiafterdark yeah. That is the Spirit of Grungni
Yes !!!!! Rock and stone !!
I like the MtG style rune cards, do you have a printable version of those maybe?
Funny thing is that many companies have done the same thing. Privateer press, Corvus belli, rackham. There is nothing preventing playing old mini's or playing old rules etc. So for me GW is doing fine. I just don't buy rules anymore and proxy my old models as new ones. Works perfect. Just make it the product that suits you instead of having GW turning you onto a customer you are not.
Hi Richy, I'm sure you already explained it, but now I can't find it, why in your royal clan army you have longbeards and not royal clan warriors?
@@bartollus so for me it’s down the fact the have ws 5 , plus one str so if I charge with great weopons I’m wounding dragons on 3s and also having the rule to reroll panics is really good too if the bsb is in the drakes out of range :)
Also Royal Clan Warriors replace their Shield with Gromril Great Weapons.
@@Dawiafterdark that a very good point :) I wonder if shieldwall and stubborn royal clan warriors aren't a better option for lasting longer in battle
Well i dunno what happened the second game but random movement units cannot move again through conveyance spells
So I did question this , but rereading the spell as it says move in the movement phase , was there and faq line I’ve missed ?
Just found the line you can move , but not make contact , I missed that and I’m guessing my opponent did too . Luckily I just won that or could have been an awkward conversation hah
@@Dawiafterdark yeah
I only know because i had a similar conversation at the last event i was.
So yeah, in the movement phase section, p 129 i belive, no unit that charged or made a compulsory move cannot move again
Goodness I never thought you could Arcane Urgency a Giant Spawn. Does it count as charging still even though it says “during the compulsory sub phase”? I’ve been missing out if so!!
Yeah so it’s a random mover so they never actually charge , it’s a pretty narly tactic , and works really well !
You can't arcane urgency into combat.
"'If the model is able to make contact with an enemy unit during the Compulsory Moves"
Think it's pretty clear you can't charge with it although you can still move with it no issue..
@ ahhhh ok my opponent must have missed that part and so have I , I just assumed you could , luckily I just won that game or that could have been awkward
Curious to why have Rune of Cleaving on the Anvil, adding any weapon rune removes the AP -1 from Gromril weapons, so it nets the same AP
But then it gains magical attacks and can hurt the green knight :)
@@Dawiafterdarkah nice
Just thought of another question for you, as a Dawi player how do you deal with fanatics? 1 of the lads in my gaming circle runs 2 units of Night gobbos with min 4 usually 6 fanatics. They deleted a unit of dwarf warriors last time we played. If i was to run up the board 27" I'm pretty sure id be takin 6 d6 str 5 ap -2 hits to the face.
@@Stevendj86 the only way is to bait them into the unit that has the anvil rerolls and ward save , and kinda hope they roll doubles and low haha , another way is to nuke the unit beforehand
@@Dawiafterdark yeh that's the answer i was afraid of lol. Cheers bud :P
Happy are year to all of you! I have a rule question and sorry for doing Q&A here. My friend - opponent wanted to block my pegasus knights move with his chariot. So he decided to march on me with its max range instead of risking declaring charge by rolling bad dice. so he "accidentally" contact me and we continued the fight in my turn. Is this move allowed?
So normal moves apart from charges or random movers can never make contact they have to abide by the 1 inch rule , but if you charge something and hit another unit that’s called accidental combat and you can just move an inch away from the accidental combat if you don’t want to fight it . So I would have had to charge you .
@@Dawiafterdark Thank you Master dwarf.
What's about dwarfs list?

I really don't understand why people with scouts don't just block the longbeards with them
@@emcdunna the problem is then you just give the dwarf player free points
Sabretusk and Dark riders can flee but their most likely going to be shot to death by iron drakes.
I like your point about being motivated by the aesthetic ambition of making your games 'look like warhammer'. I am caught philosophically between two poles here: the first, self imposed aesthetic limitation in the name of some stillmanic ideal of what Warhammer 'should look like'. The second, achieving competitive success with full on horror. I am reminded slightly of the divide between the moral and physical force chartists.
The way The Old World rules are written, you are facing a Gordic Knot. Stilistic choices can't make the game work, and competitive choices make it ugly. But afterall its an inherit problem of the game itself. Your only choice is how you play it and have fun with it. Happy new year Doctor!
Physical force chartists all the way
Yeah I completely agree , do you go all in on stylistic choices or just abuse the rules system , I’ve played it both ways and I think especially at events , you just have to go with what you personally want out of your games .
whoever says linehammer is undwarfy never played Total War Warhammer with your dawi hiding in a corner and 3 lines of ironbreakers defending it.
Haha this is true !
Still people are scared of my king he still hasn't lost a combat phase because I played with my mate who is going to the tournament in Cardiff for two day event.
The king is amazing !!! Glad he’s getting the fear he truly deserves !
I am sorry to say but these lists are looking like the worst days of old hero hammer. Sad to see what the meta has turned into across the pond.
In the competitive setting it’s very hero heavy , my army I’m making next only has 50 points of heros in though so looking forward to that haha
@@Dawiafterdark now that's the spirit!
@ I’m trying mate !
I strongly disagree, cool characters with amaeing models is the essence of Warhammer (at least à strong part of the essence ! )
My favorite range is v6 wood elves, they have a dozen amazing hero models.
I agree that the dragon spam is a problem, but because of power level, not inherently, or you dont think mighty warrior on a dragon is cool ? ;)
If you specificaly talk about 3 lords on dragon, then I ansolutly agree, but its à power level issue to me. Nerf big stuff (no talisman of protection etc, and points raise) and its fine to me if anyone want to field that :)😮
Humbling ogres since 2024. 😂😂😂
Someone’s got to keep them in check mate ! 😂
Oi jack how did you like the 9 guts vs the 12 bulls from last time? Shame you gott take the 3 bulls just floating around, we're they useful at all? What are you changing next?
@ they were good. Offered a lot more threat and became a hammer and anvil.
But… ws3 still sucks. Adding in the dragonhide banner on the bsb rather than the war banner! Need to increase their output.
Also had issues rolling less than a 10 on ld tests once my bsb died so need to think about whether I include one of the items/names that lets you get a reroll on break/rallies.
@jackcrop thanks for the reply. OK we're my first fantasy army so I'm drawn to play them again, my only concern is being a legacy army, how varied their play style can be. Whereas empire, tK, even Chaos have what appears to be more depth of play styles. OK small model count is definently appealing though and I love monstrous infantry type armies. If infantry meta becomes a thing it would be interesting to see how OK go into them.
Do you see much different play when eventual nerfs to flying monsters or changes to how points denial works (kill 50% of unit, get 50% of points). Wfb was balanced this way back in tournies back in the day so I see it going that way again if meta keeps going towards points denial strategies.
@
Yeah I think there’s definitely potential to mix things up if nerfs happen which sees the biggest nastiest dragons disappear.
Msu ogres could then be more feasible and would be great at capturing areas/objectives etc.
I’ve got a 3k event this weekend. Am trying mournfang out for the first time this edition so hopefully they impress me. Also dropping the tyrant off his mount and into the gutbus to give that a go.
Any chance to post your list from the GT in the same nice overview as for the opponents lists?
Thanks for all the great info about the Dawi :)
Il sort a little video about it :)
