FYI this report was filmed BEFORE the battlescroll update, so there are some things that have changed :) Bear with us as we have many new GHB batreps on the way! Happy Wargaming!!
Just a heads up w/Harness the Spirit Path - got FAQ'd to be completed as well w/charge + strike and fade (S+F is also under from the woodland depths). Great work guys
We appreciate that! We have put a lot of time into our hobby and love to share it! Hope to continue to see you in the comments, and if you haven't already, join our discord and share your armies!
After watching a few of your batreps, this is the one that got me to sub. You guys are killing it-- best AoS channel out there. In a world where everyone seems to be fast-forwarding through... the game... you guys are rolling dice, explaining tactics, and really showing some great insight. Plus, everything looks gorgeous. You've got a new fan!
We appreciate you! Glad you are enjoying the videos :) Our goal is to make our gameplay engaging and informative, and most of all have fun! Thanks for subscribing, means a lot to us :)
Great battlerep! Friendly reminder for Sylvaneths last turn: you can score Harness the Spirit Paths when you charge then use strike and fade, because SaF is part of "From the Woodland Depths" trait. Now kurnoths with swords might be better with new coherency rules and Hoarfrost spell, high roll - bonus rend, low roll - better wound hits, also they 220 for 3 now (i know this BR was before point changes etc.).
The Stormcast Eternals finally got a much-needed points reduction on a lot of units. I'm really excited to see where they go from here. I'm even happy that the Kharadron Overlords got a points increase on a lot of stuff. The 160-point Thunderers are now a fair unit. I was hoping for 150, but whatever. :P I really can't pick which faction I'm cheering for here because both of them are strong and compelling concepts for a second army collection, if and when I ever get there. Yay, a channel that understands that both players get a Primal Dice on a 4+. A lot of others have been doing it wrong and it pains me to watch. Congratulations, Sylvaneth, on a battle well-fought. How do the SCE feel after their points drop, gentlemen?
I saw sylvaneth and knew i would enjoy this batrep. But then i saw Alarielle and Karazai and i was all in. Cant wait to see what you guys bring to the table with all the new rules changes and point drops. Hearing your wrapup and assessment of different units i couldnt help but realize how in the dark we all were just 1 week ago.
Michael is working on new ideas and new ways to play sylvaneth. He is thinking about leaning into this play style and moving away from the spiteswarm. As we play more games and understand the GHB better we will see what kind of power the Sylvaneth can bring.
@@BattleshockWargaming I've had the same thought about the hive. It looks like it will be even harder to stick these days. I've been leaning towards the warsinger trait and a unit of 6 swords moving 8". Maybe a branchwych tagging along with hoarfrost or blizzard.
Great Bat Rep as always guys! You've mentioned the Membership rewards before - do you give exclusive battle reps for those? Or simply see them early? Keep up the great work!
wow! that was one of the closest and best games yet. i may be a bit bias since i also play sylvaneth, but any game that comes down to a single roll in the 5th round is an epic one! GG both of you !!
Hey guys! Always a pleasure to see you, besides the thing of the primal dice for the damage spell that I understand it’s due to the video being recorded before the faq, you forgot that the praetors have the thunder strike armour so they roll an extra dice when they die
Great report! Just a little reminder: You cannot use bodyguard ability from Preators while in reserve, as it is an ability and has to be used while they are on the board.
Perfect to watch as I assemble and then paint my Stormcast! I have yet to play my first game and am so excited to enjoy a game like you guys are! Cheers
Thank YOU for watching our channel. Stormcast is a very fun and rewarding army to play. We have my competitive list in an upcoming video so you can see what we take to tournament play :)
Great report as always, heads up @David - Your first BT you chose, you just need to have more wholly outside your territory than in so no need to go into enemy! :D
Good point, I am not sure if david was aware of that but he was very close and could have made it if he wanted to. Learning alot in these first few games
Love the BatReps you guys do. Just a quick reminder that, Praetors can't bodyguard if either they or their target are off the table at the beginning of the game.
Just bought my GhB Yesterday. Super excited for my 1st Game on friday. I am Glad to see sylvaneth Back since i am also currently painting them 🙂. Maybe we can get some IDK aswell with the new Points drop? 😁
David picks Heroic Willpower to get an unbind. David has 3 primal dice. David forgets to do the one job he had in the hero phase. Come on man, that was going to be the highlight of this season's abilities. 😁
Praetors must start the game on the board for their ability to work. AOS rules that units cannot use abilities while in reserve unless they say so otherwise. The praetor's ability happens at the start of the first battle round but since they are in reserve during that time it doesn't trigger.
Happy Tues, my dudes! Interesting match up here with a magic light SCE list. I think the edge goes to sylvaneth here but with things being so new, it's anyone's game really. Hopefully karazai pops OFF
Thanks for the comment my friend. Both of these lists were actually picked before the GHB came out and we just rolled with the punches to see how the lists would work with the new rules.
Great game guys. Love to see Alarielle pulling it off. And also Karazai has shined. Regarding the bugs I really think they were misplayed by the player… having a 12” movement unit that heals, hits rather good and resurrects models should have been used much more actively (grabbing objectives, charging in, getting board control, etc.). But overall great game and real fun to see. Keep it up guys
Thanks for the comment. We appreciate your input. I think michael agrees he wasnt using the dragonflies correctly they could have been much better than just trying to heal a unit
Y'all know me. I see dragons and I root for dragons. Love em. I also think that Karazai with some praetors is a pretty scary thing. Alarielle is nasty too, but I'm thinking Karazai with the praetors will outdo her and the fulminators will outdo the Kurnoth hunters so I give SCE the dub here. Either way it will be a fun match!
I think if u dont have to shuffle the Stormcast army! and protect with preators this arcane tome hero it would be fine next time! and always teleport preators only :D fun game, i like watching and sylvaneth i love one time more 🎉🎉🎉🎉 u good guide to the Game 🎉🎉
What was the reason you didn't do "A Matter of Honor" and try to kill Alarielle with Karazai? Was there a tactic that would've opened up? With the +1 attacks I think Karazai may have had a good chance to knock the Everqueen?
I breifly though on this, and just could not commit to Karazai pushing 16 damage. He had just dealt 13 damage to some dragonflies in the previous battle round, so I opted for the safe bet of scoring the central objective. This plan ultimately backfired when Michael redeployed the big 6 and denied my grand strategy. So next time, I plan to use the FULL SEND techinque lol.
Not sure, but I don't think you can bind the Praetors to Karazai if they are put in reserve at the start of the game. Great report, really enjoy your channel! 😊
The warscroll states you must pick a unit on the battlefield, does not state the Praetors cannot be in reserve. During this game, the AOS faq was unavailable d/t 40k updates, so we were not able to check if units can use warscroll abilities while in reserve. We will research and clarify this before we use them in this way again. Thanks for taking the time to comment and hope to see you in other battle reports!
Really good Game Guys. 🙂 Metamorphis primal dont add to the Roll but i think it didnt mattert. Really shy 1st rounds but i think you played it perfectly. The Bugs were doing nothing the whole Game 😅. Wouldve Liked to See alarielle to Go for a Duel vs the big Dragon, die and comming Back.
They recorded this before the battle scroll and FAQ. So at the time primal dice would have added to the roll. This sadly had to be changed or else the warsong would have destroyed almost every other army.
I'd love to see a Sylvaneth army go up against some mega gargants. Can never get enough of the big boys and the Sylvaneth are always fun to watch bounce around the board
i thought Sylvaneth S&F only required that the unit had fought in combat and that the S&F triggers after models were removed from play that died cos it was an "If Any". if its in the new GHB ill have to have a look but my understanding was it just had to engage in combat.
There is not a requirement to kill models to strike and fade, There is a poorly worded FAQ but the intention is to clarify that models die and before you strike and fade. Im not sure how Sylvaneth would do against gargants. They might struggle to put enough damage through to topple the giants
One of our most favorite factions. Currently 2 more videos with stormcast on the way. Both lists are paladin heavy, and I will say that they are very good now with points drops and new coherency rules :)
It was drybrushed and then undercoated by drybrushing different colors on horns face and body, Then I used different Turbo dork color shifts through and airbrush to get some crazy effects!
Good point, I think we messed that up because out of territory is the enemy territory in this mission. Thank you for your comment, Stay tuned as we learn this new GHB together!

@@justincrandall3747 I just checked the FAQ and couldnt find that section, but of course I could be blind. Any chance you can link it?
@@DoubleGravity-s8f it's in the designers notes section of the AOS app. I swear I read it in pink text previously though.
Yeah, the stormcast list is now 1870 that you used...you can add 3 more praetors for that difference or a celestar ballistae?
Has anyone reminded y'all lately that this is the best AoS batrep channel there is?
Because it is. You guys are awesome.

Exclusive battle reports for members, and you get all videos 2 days early!
13:26 does the metamorphosis, cast count as a primal cast?? It would have ended casting, but you each get one primal die.
I would have had to use a primal dice and then got 2 sixes for it to count as a primal cast. Natural Sixes wont end casting
Excited for the New General's Handbook! You guys are doing great and the studio is looking great!

Thank you Spartan! What a great way to start the new season! We have some great games coming your way as we figure out this new GHB!

ty guys for the amazing battle report like all ways, was waiting to see those fulminators in action :)
Thank you Superb for watching our videos! I'm glad you enjoy the content. This karazai list was great fun to play! 👍 👌
Another great one. Thx guys.
The stormcast LVP, was only LVP because he kept his distance 😂

I love the stoic face when the sylvaneth player lost priority on round 4! I would have screamed at the dice for sure! 🤣
Some times you just have to hold it in. Buckle up and pray for the best!

I will dust off the Idoneth Deepking soon, I feel like you can fit a while lot in a list nowadays!
Thank god those spells that do damage based on the casting roll got FAQ to be only raw dice, no primal added
Yep, but not before Michael rolled 12s 2 times during this game lol
Really great job glad I found u on RUclips
Thanks! We are in the middle of a big studio upgrade, tons of good stuff on the way :)
I loved it when David threw his primal dice on the floor because he forgot to use them 😂
I mean who even needs primal dice! lol
David picks Heroic Willpower to get an unbind. David has 3 primal dice. David forgets to do the one job he had in the hero phase. Come on man, that was going to be the highlight of this season's abilities. 😁
I know!! I didn't forget, I was just waiting to use the dice on the right spell, that never came lol
Love your work fellas 👍 don’t forget Longstrikes wound on 2’s!
I was shooting at dryads, which were -1 to hit and wound 😞 Annoying little trees to chew through lol
you guys are killing it!

Michael does own a bastiladon but not an engine of the gods...Yet!
That was an awesome battle report, silvaneth vs stormcast I could say is always an interesting match! 😎

Rooting for the sylvaneth! But like both lists and fsee what the new ghb does to the game. Looking forward to finish watching this later today.

You are Battle tactic for turn 5 should have been kill a hero with a redeemer unit.
Treelord is 14 wounds Brother 😁
That is good to know! Liberator hammer would have still rinsed him though, was 4 damage total.
for intimidate the invaders u just have to be outside your territory not in enemy territory

Ich gucke wegen den Stormcast weil ich die selber spiele 🎉🎉
Danke für deinen Kommentar! Wir freuen uns über Ihre Unterstützung
AOS today - Everything does mortal wounds, everything needs a ward save...
This is a true statement, power creep feels weird sometimes, wonder if they will scale everything back in the new edition?
