Love this episode, love you guys. Tiny bit of friendly advice, can tone down the energy a bit. Outside voice is good but leaning towards kid presenter. Love the sayings though for wounds and all that. And your mile manored ork player is the best XD
Great video! I loved DoW and you've nailed it. Beautiful models and terrain, slick production, charismatic presenting. Using the game voices adds a lot to the battle report. I think "Dawn of Warhammer" would be a catchier name
@@thirstyserpent1079 Just translate the in game effects to on the table benefits, would have to look in detail at the bonuses, some of them will be easier than others.
@@dekai7992 Ye, placing a scout squad, a firewarrior squad and a broadside battlesuit guarding a chokepoint, with one stealthsuit squad a few steps in front to grant vision made the whole thing nigh unbreachable against the AI.
Love this! Especially the magnetised upgrades, the terrain and the smoke effects. Really engaging! Is there a way of having some overhead / map shots? It’s a bit hard to keep track of where every one is. Can’t wait for the next part!
I'd confidently say this is the most entertaining Bat-Rep I've watched from any 40k edition or RUclips channel. The smaller scale and great narration really makes it engaging. Looking forward to ep2!
I really like the way y’all film/present your content. It’s clear, it’s cinematic, and it’s very explanatory without getting too complicated. Sometimes battle reports can feel either too detailed and boring or too pandering and simplified. Keep it up! More battle reports like this will be amazing.
Loving it, completely crazy and very fond memories of the computer game! The terrain is looking fantastic and the added voices is hilarious. I must say what a great idea. Influenced by your madness I have purchased some old school Eldar….somehow I need to fit that in with my latest other crazy projects on the list at the moment. All of my Orcs and old Marines are still in Australia in storage!
By the golden throne, you've done a fine job with this narrative battle report. truly an inspirational video that I'm most certainly gonna have to drag my buddies into trying a gamemode like this with my golden boys. a fine video
This is so rad. I love that you're branching out and sharing all of the games that you enjoy playing. Looking forward to seeing more DoW and of course, some good ol' MESBG and wouldn't complain about some more HH as well. Armatura when?
This is far and away the best Narrative battle report I've ever seen. I can see this becoming a genuine add-on to Crusade and then evolving from there. You're adding more than what I see so much of, less L shaped terrain, varied buildings, a different setup, consideration for how the rules influence things, discarding the turn limit so things go faster starting out. If this is successful enough you could have a major energizing effect on the narrative end of the entire game. Shine on ZorpHammer, you guys got my subscription.
This is amazing! DoW was (still is) my favorite video game, and got me into the table top game. What a creative and fun way to combine them, I hope GW and others consider cool base building modes like this! Btw what's your paint scheme for the Blood Ravens? They look great 🔥
This was so cool!!! Dawn of War was one of the biggest things that sparked my love of 40K, seeing a projedt like this is so fantastic, cant wait to see more!!
This was so fun to watch! I was able to follow the mechanics very well. I feel like I want some kind of your of the battlefield or maybe more wide-angle shots. I had a bit of trouble understanding where the action on the battlefield was. Other than that a really thrilling report. Can't wait for more!
Thank you for the feedback Joe, that's really helpful stuff mate! Sometimes it's a bit hard to truly see how much it translates I'll try and keep some more wide shots in part two, and maybe even look at some mini map options for future episodes if the series continues strongly :)
Holy shit man! This is so cool! For years I thought about how cool it would be to get a base building aspect in the game. You actually pullen it off and it looks amazing. Instant subscribe, looking forward to seeing more man. Keep it up!
I absolutely loved this and actually lost track of time because I was so engrossed. I’ve subscribed and shared it with my friends🎉 Seriously great content and good pacing with your edit! Can’t wait to see part 2!
Great job on this battle report, the buildings look amazing and it's really interesting to see the requisition system giving you limited resources to work with.
So... we did a video to digitally follow an analogue board game interpretation of a digital video game which is an interpretation of an analogue board game.... Right?... So this is Inception 40k?
This is fabulous! I have always wanted to do something like this, and to see it done, I am very impressed with this battle report. Incredibly well done chaps!
Even though I've not played Dawn of War very extensively, it was kind of nostalgic to hear the sound clips from the game. Nice work all around! I definitely enjoyed watching this. :D
I'm not going to try and say anything witty. This is just the best. Although wait till you hear my totally original concept of playing Battle For Middle Earth but in MESBG! (patent pending)
I need more battle reports of this. This is amazing and I want to now try it with my friends. We've been talking about doing a campaign map like dark crusade and this just takes the cake of the play style.
Thank you so much Noah :) :) I just finished up part three which is a much more 'classic' set of objectives to get a good idea of what matched play would be in this style, check it out ruclips.net/video/_HQnIIc1otk/видео.html
True, however Heavy Bolters hit on 4's as opposed to the usual 3's. And if you don't move, they get +1 to hit. So they effectively do get -1 to hit on a move.
I want to start by saying that I love this so much!! All the work and effort you have put in really shows! All the attention to detail and the buildings are just amazing! However, I just can’t follow along. Because I have no idea what the ruleset is you could have been on the edge of winning the whole game or one move away from a crushing loss. I really do understand the concept and I bet it was a blast to play but, at least for me, I just can’t follow it and there is no sense of where you are in the game. I just want to end by saying that this is amazing! Thank you so much for making this happen!
It's just a narrative scenario to explore the mechanics and hopefully tell a fun story. Glad you enjoyed it, in spite of the lack of clarity of the rules :)
Really cool. Think you might have to reread the oath of the moment and heavy rules though. Oath of the moment allows rerolls to hits AND wounds. Heavy is a plus one to hit if standing still but no negative if you moved.
I've lost count of how many times I've replayed Dark Crusade's campaign or played the Closer to Codex mods with mates smashing relentless ai hordes, this is bloody fantastic! Bravo gents, subbed for more! ⚡⚡⚡

This is a really good idea. I wouldn't be surprised if Games Workshop contacts you about it.
Will you add the guard?
Why no shoota from the ork buildings? Needed more shoota
I just came here to say: SINDRIIIIII!!!!!
I have also subscribed to your channel.
Love this episode, love you guys. Tiny bit of friendly advice, can tone down the energy a bit. Outside voice is good but leaning towards kid presenter. Love the sayings though for wounds and all that. And your mile manored ork player is the best XD
This is the best variant of 40k I've seen. You guys made my dreams come true implementing a base building aspect
Seconded, the production values with the visual effects and the audio ripped straight from the game are SO good!
I pray to all beings out there that this snowballs into someday being an acknowledgt game mode. With purchasable options for buildings
@@artistaro5335 GW just announced Epic making a comeback, so would probably be easier to do it on that scale.
This is absolutely epic, can't wait for more!!
Great video! I loved DoW and you've nailed it. Beautiful models and terrain, slick production, charismatic presenting. Using the game voices adds a lot to the battle report. I think "Dawn of Warhammer" would be a catchier name
I’ve never played 40k or dawn of war but I just came here as I love listening to Zorpazorp’s voice for hours 😍
Impressive transfer of videogame to tabletop game. For me, 1st Dawn of War still being the best of all series.
This seems like something GW would put out rules for, I mean it would sell more models and nothing matters more to them than selling more models.
This is madness😂 dude truly the most amazing thing ever for Warhammer
I have been waiting for this version of warhammer for years - absolutely going to snap up these rules
I loved this, Zorpazropa, excellent stuff, looking forward to more :)
I think one of my dreams would be to have a balanced system like this for MESBG (~Battle for Middle-Earth)
This is very appealing
This should be official Games Workshop!
This is something interesting
Such a creative way to play Warhammer. Might have to step my own crusade/narrative games up now.
Thank you mate :) :)
I just came here to say: SINDRIIIIII!!!!!
I have also subscribed to your channel.
I sort of want to see a recreation of the first mission in Dawn of war 1.
You should 100% do a full Dark Crusade campaign like this!
I hope so!!!!!
damn right !!! Dark Crusade was by far, best DoW game. spent hundreds of hours in that game :D .
How would you represent the benefits of the 6 special zones that gave special benefits?
@@thirstyserpent1079 Just translate the in game effects to on the table benefits, would have to look in detail at the bonuses, some of them will be easier than others.
EVEN IN DEATH I STILL SERVE! Lachlan, you have done it, you've made DoW into the game we all wanted. Well done! Looks so good! HYPE
So hype bro, get those armies ready!
This has mad potential for a new way to play 40k
11th edition possible
I love the voicelines! So many memories. Any plans for more factions, like T'au or Eldar? Cheers
I second more Eldar!
Drukhari would be also really cool
Tau would not do too well with a 12inch Line of sight i guess
@@gwrthwynebiad True. But even in OG DoW, many Tau units had longer weapon ranges than LoS. They worked best when relying on other units' vision.
@@dekai7992 Ye, placing a scout squad, a firewarrior squad and a broadside battlesuit guarding a chokepoint, with one stealthsuit squad a few steps in front to grant vision made the whole thing nigh unbreachable against the AI.
Love this! Especially the magnetised upgrades, the terrain and the smoke effects. Really engaging! Is there a way of having some overhead / map shots? It’s a bit hard to keep track of where every one is. Can’t wait for the next part!
Yeah some top downs would be good. Great idea and execution
This is my favorite battle report I’ve ever seen. This is amazing!
Love it, I want that terrain so bad - will you do tutorials on how to make it?
ruclips.net/video/XRohwfyCcBo/видео.html&ab_channel=Zorpazorp :)
check out his main channel, there's hours of terrain tutorials.
I'd confidently say this is the most entertaining Bat-Rep I've watched from any 40k edition or RUclips channel. The smaller scale and great narration really makes it engaging. Looking forward to ep2!

Thank you so much mate, happy to have dragged you down this rabbit hole with me haha
I wish I could like the vid more than once. This is such a great followup to your HH series. Thanks for making this!
Hopefully the Orcs will get more love the harder the campaigns get😂 felt one sided haha was this easy mode?!❤
This is the best Batrep I've ever seen, You made 40k look exciting. The game mode looks awesome, I love DOW.
The 10th edition we actually needed!
We gotta push for this in 11th edition!
Or maybe it’s own separate game
Kind of like what kill team is but bigger scale rather than smaller scale
That was excellent! So much more fun than just setting up 18" apart and shooting. 👍
This is so genuinely cool. Absolutely fantastic job on this home brew ruleset!
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing this project. The models and buildings look fantastic. And the sound effects really bring me back.
By the golden throne, you've done a fine job with this narrative battle report. truly an inspirational video that I'm most certainly gonna have to drag my buddies into trying a gamemode like this with my golden boys. a fine video
Just your enthusiasm and the ingame voice lines made this a blast to watch
This is so rad. I love that you're branching out and sharing all of the games that you enjoy playing. Looking forward to seeing more DoW and of course, some good ol' MESBG and wouldn't complain about some more HH as well. Armatura when?
Those objective markers are amazing, I'd love to see a video on how those were put together.
This was amazing can’t wait for episode two and hope this blows up for more episodes
This looks awesome. I can't wait to see how this evolves. good job 👍
This is far and away the best Narrative battle report I've ever seen. I can see this becoming a genuine add-on to Crusade and then evolving from there.

this is SO epic. I love the buildings!!!!
Best battle report I have ever seen!!! Incredible idea and perfectly executed!! Outstanding
This is amazing! DoW was (still is) my favorite video game, and got me into the table top game. What a creative and fun way to combine them, I hope GW and others consider cool base building modes like this!
Btw what's your paint scheme for the Blood Ravens? They look great 🔥
This was so cool!!! Dawn of War was one of the biggest things that sparked my love of 40K, seeing a projedt like this is so fantastic, cant wait to see more!!
The blood ravens stole my like!
We did not. We recovered your ancient like to preserve it within the reliquary.
Got a subscriber in me! This was amazing! I absolutely loved Dawn of War. You guys are definitely onto something here
This was a great video. Brought back so many memories. The voicelines were stellar. Any chance you add more factions like Tau, Necrons?
What a great idea! Looking forward to following this series.
Hope you enjoy it Samm!
Dude this is awesome! It's entertaining and explained well! You guys nailed this! Can't wait for episode 2! For the emperor!!!!
This is such a cool idea, I’m excited to see more of this.
This was so fun to watch! I was able to follow the mechanics very well.
I feel like I want some kind of your of the battlefield or maybe more wide-angle shots. I had a bit of trouble understanding where the action on the battlefield was.
Other than that a really thrilling report. Can't wait for more!
Thank you for the feedback Joe, that's really helpful stuff mate! Sometimes it's a bit hard to truly see how much it translates I'll try and keep some more wide shots in part two, and maybe even look at some mini map options for future episodes if the series continues strongly :)
I'm missing the servitors, who build the buildings...
Holy crap. This is amazing!
Interaction for the Algorithm god. Praise for the creator.
Holy shit man! This is so cool! For years I thought about how cool it would be to get a base building aspect in the game. You actually pullen it off and it looks amazing. Instant subscribe, looking forward to seeing more man. Keep it up!
Thank you mate, glad it got you pumped :) :)

Great job on this battle report, the buildings look amazing and it's really interesting to see the requisition system giving you limited resources to work with.
It's such a fun challenge to manage it all haha
So... we did a video to digitally follow an analogue board game interpretation of a digital video game which is an interpretation of an analogue board game.... Right?... So this is Inception 40k?
DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA!!!
Love tbis way to play 40k, great work, fantastic terrain and amazing video
This is fabulous! I have always wanted to do something like this, and to see it done, I am very impressed with this battle report. Incredibly well done chaps!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Killa Kan is only T6 and basic Orks are T5 now? I know it's been a long time since I played but that just doesn't seem right.
This is SO EPIC
Warhammer 40000 11th Edition anyone...? Great video, really appreciate the effort put in here!
This is such an amazing way to play 40k. How can one participate / introduce this to our local gaming store.
I love this! Imagine survival mode. Tyranids hordes. With building system. I would love to try this
Dude… this is legit! So cool! Always impressed with your creativity.
Dawn of War 2 with its limited unit population might be very doable in 40k.
Such an amazing idea, well carried out. Keep up the good work!
Cheers Davey :)
Its amazing! My childhood swarms to the surface today it seems. Id love to see a how to video!
Holy... the amount of effort figuring this all out is insane, plus love the printed buildings! Definitely going to stay tuned for rules!
Wooooo big nostalgia vibes. I miss DoW1 so much
I loved this. Put me back to the days of yore playing DoW on my mates PC
This is amazing guys. You really have outdone yourselves.
You need more 'Waaagh! Banner' structures for the Orks defence... 😅
Fun and interesting battle! But the constant camera rotation/movement made me dizzy and couldn't watch past a minute
Love Dawn of War series, but where's Angelos he's first up.
I need more!! Make this a series with different factions of 10 edition!!
This is legit one of the coolest ideas around Warhammer I have ever seen. And such wounderfull execution. Man those plasma generators 👌
Thank you mate :) :)
Love this! Such a creative way to play Warhammer. I hope there will be more of this.
Amazingly perfect. Thank you for putting so much effort in this❤
You're welcome 😊
The inclusion of in-game voicelines were a really nice touch. I'd definitely watch if this were made into a longer series.
I'm just gonna say it: I have a mighty need for those objective markers with the banners. A very, VERY mighty need.
i need this to suceed so we can have more units buildings and other stuff
Amazing edit on this battle report, and we'll presented! You just got a subscriber! Keep it up, this is great stuff!
Dude this is awesome. Ive always at least wanted the terrain from DOW.
By the All Father, I need this in my life.
Even though I've not played Dawn of War very extensively, it was kind of nostalgic to hear the sound clips from the game.
Nice work all around! I definitely enjoyed watching this. :D
I'm not going to try and say anything witty. This is just the best. Although wait till you hear my totally original concept of playing Battle For Middle Earth but in MESBG! (patent pending)
Get on the plane lad, there's knife work here needs doing.
I'm a simple guy. I see Blood Ravens, I press like
That was really enjoyable. GW should have done this years ago but I’m glad you are doing it
I need more battle reports of this. This is amazing and I want to now try it with my friends. We've been talking about doing a campaign map like dark crusade and this just takes the cake of the play style.
Editing number 2 right now! Should be about two weeks :)
2:05 The most mild-mannered ork player ever.
This was awesome! Loved the models, the rules, and the energy! Keep it coming!
Youve literally designed a new game combining both 40k mechanics and DoW mechanics. Amazing job on both gameplay and editing!
Thank you so much Noah :) :) I just finished up part three which is a much more 'classic' set of objectives to get a good idea of what matched play would be in this style, check it out ruclips.net/video/_HQnIIc1otk/видео.html
To note in 10th you don't suffer a penalty to moving and shooting a heavy weapon. Also are you guys using stratagems
True, however Heavy Bolters hit on 4's as opposed to the usual 3's. And if you don't move, they get +1 to hit. So they effectively do get -1 to hit on a move.
I want to start by saying that I love this so much!! All the work and effort you have put in really shows! All the attention to detail and the buildings are just amazing!

Really cool. Think you might have to reread the oath of the moment and heavy rules though. Oath of the moment allows rerolls to hits AND wounds. Heavy is a plus one to hit if standing still but no negative if you moved.
We use the Combat Patrol Oath of moment not the full faction bonus as it's more balanced for our scale :)
I've lost count of how many times I've replayed Dark Crusade's campaign or played the Closer to Codex mods with mates smashing relentless ai hordes, this is bloody fantastic! Bravo gents, subbed for more! ⚡⚡⚡
Awesome battle report! Loved the building aspect and the addition of units during the game. For the Emperor!!!
this is my favorite 40k content
The original Dawn of War is so good that even when translated to tabletop it REMAINS fun! This rule set NEEDS to become official!
