I've been a 40k fan for a while but a combination of the Total War Warhammer games and your videos have really turned my eye towards Fantasy/AoS. Combine that with the only thing holding me back from AoS were the old Seraphon models, and the fact that they're soon to be updated means my wallet is about to hurt again.
I'm coming into this having only been introduced to AoS through your channel in the last month or so. 1. This was incredibly well done! 2. Absolutely died at Bobby Brickolini. 3. Could we hope for one of these vids for Sylvaneth in the near future?
I hope my disclaimer in that cultist section came through well enough - many of them are decent/niche, like golems 3+ save, ravager pre-game move, furies movement/command farm with eternus, it's just they're all outclassed strongly by snakes/deepstrike dudes in the chaff+ role. Your army list can afford more suboptimal choices than many people think - I just don't want to trick anyone. ERRATA: Nurgle banner FAQ'd to still be amazing don't worry. Worsen rend of melee weapons that target them by 1. ERRATA: Varanguard only get Rally bonus in Empty Throne, not Hosts anymore. Still good.
Honestly, I’m happy some of our coolest models even have niche uses now. Getting into this army during the marauder meta was just.. ugh they’re gross. Even bigger bonus when Splintered Fang (my favorite and first warband) are broken af for some reason
I picked Slaves to Darkness because I looked at their start collecting box and felt like I knew what everything was for. The near limitless /yourdudes/ potential was icing on the cake
Thank God for you. Just getting back into AoS since 2017, this and the Stormcast video is exactly what I needed. Thanks for making content that is so hard to find
I think a crew of 3 or 4 Warqueens all marked undivided could be a fun meme in the current GHB. They can chain activate to dish damage, force opponents to split attacks, get a bunch of good rolls on eye of the gods, revive in ravagers or cast in cabalists, hit a lot of battle tactics, stay together or split up, be protected from most shooting... there is potential there. I call it: Ladies night at the Casino
Last video I posted in the comments how much I wanted go see you cover StD and Soulblight Gravelords so I'm so happy I got this video to look forward to watch and share with my friends whom are getting into the hobby! 10/10 :)
Oh 💩! Thanks for including my Deamon Prince and crediting me 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻 Easily the best propaganda lore and art section. Couldn’t share the video quick enough :)
Man, these guides are great. Still (slowly) working on 40k orks after getting back into the hobby after more than a decade, but I plan to start an AoS army soon-ish and these are really useful in helping me figure out what I'm looking for.
Thanks for making this I fell in love with chaos warriors. Which ones all of them. Then realized I could run an entire army of black armored hell knights with slot machines as a tactic. I love it. Also a fun meme army list idea popped in my head, use entire army with undivided as mark to use with exalted champion as key player. Run bal and sorcerer with cabal to maximize chaos conduit and control spells. Spin the wheel at every opportunity on any unit you wish, laugh as basic chaos warriors and knights become the definition of a brickhouse.
One of the biggest problems chaos warriors in Warhammer Fantasy has had since the 90s, is that an army full of chaos warriors was almost never viable in any edition of the game. Aside from a brief period in 8th edition, you couldn't really field chaos warriors and have a successful army. Now GW has released easily some of the best fantasy miniatures they've ever created, and certainly the best chaos warrior miniatures of all time. I had to buy a bunch they're so good... That and the picture you paint of a chaos warrior filled army being viable, has almost tempted me to try playing AoS again... ... almost... ... but then I remember all the nightmare games I had right after Dominion was released and how the game was about as fun as doing your taxes while having your hands smashed with a hammer... Your video was amazing and had me laughing hysterically throughout... ... sadly, your video was more fun than I've ever had playing AoS... ... but I am almost tempted to play Slaves to Darkness because of it... almost...
I think the logic is, the knight or chariot unit was gonna fight first if they charged anyway. Always fights first isnt as common as it once was. Still if you stack 2 knights and 2 lords thats 5 activations first which is good but a dedicated build
It's 'Kind Of' a buff, but only just. Knights on the charge would have fought first anyway, so really the Lord is just adding his personal dps to that fight, which isn't like Stellar compared to 5 knights worth of, say, +1 to hit and wound from a real buff. I think combat mounted Lords are cooler than they are good, but by no means are they trash.
You could've posted an infinitely more cursed clip of North Star fighting game of you really wanted to show how powerful Archaeon was. That game has no brakes
Just want to say that most AoS strategy guides bore me until I'm forced to flee and I blame this for why my generalship sucks. Yours does not, legit enjoyed it and leaned things.
awesome, their were my first army but i got some soulblight after they came out and i kinda forgot about my chaos boys but i really need to buy the new models and start playing with them again. i hope they are better than before or maybe i was just bad but they looked so amating but then get beaten in every aspekt by some wierd lizard guys.
My favorite way GW shelfs old old old ugly looking kits is when they just make the warscroll bad instead of just NOT printing it. I am happy they chose to make the army-defining models (Demon Prince..... nooo....) be... GOOD !!
first time i used the slambo i've rolled a double 1 so my advise is to not do that if: -you put an artifact and teleport -your oppo don't give you the triumph since you started with 100 points less
At least they finally fixed the issue of WFB eye of the gods of demon prince being just as bad as spawn. No artifacts, no upgrades, no option to not take it, and you also count as killed.
HeyWoah! Can you do a video on the dwarfs with beard guns unless you already have and I missed it I want to buy my first AoS army and I'm a dwarf man through and through.
I will when their new book comes out later this year. They're about to get a 3rd ed 'tome so everything will change and I don't want the vid to be out of date so soon.
@@HeyWoah Ohh that's really cool I didn't know that I finally gave AoS a chance after discovering your channel in my feed last year and I've grown to like it just as much as 40k. It's really good now.
“For many of you, it all started with this: [HeroQuest Box]. This guy in particular: [Chaos Warrior].” Yup. Got me exactly. Had the game at 10 and made the family play. It’s why I owned these guys at 14 and it’s why I’ll own these guys at 40.
I made a list that I’m quite sure will be fun but incredibly swingy. legion of the first prince with everything being undivided. Be’lakor included for general annoyance. The warlord takes the instant roll trait. The wizard takes the roll spell. The entire army is built around maximizing the use of the eye of the gods table with the centaurion marshall just being generally annoying by rallying Knights, Warriors and Chosen (who take the double roll banner so they can double roll as soon as they’re deployed) on a 5+. Legionnaires and Furies included as chaff. Is it good? Absolutely not. But, I think it will be quite fun.

I hope half this video is talking about how cool they look
it basically is
@@HeyWoah fantastic video so far my man
That is exactly the reason, why I play them.
When I went after meta, I played models I deemed ugly.
Wasn't fun.
@@HeyWoah 1/4 is talking about how cool they look. 1/2 is talking about how ass all things Daemon Prince are.
I agree that you can describe AOS as a post apocalyptic setting. It fits all the hallmarks
Mix of Norse 9 worlds, european alchemy, and D&D Dark Sun
Most fantasy worlds are because of the presence of magic items. Matt Colville has a great video talking about it!
I've been a 40k fan for a while but a combination of the Total War Warhammer games and your videos have really turned my eye towards Fantasy/AoS. Combine that with the only thing holding me back from AoS were the old Seraphon models, and the fact that they're soon to be updated means my wallet is about to hurt again.

1. This was incredibly well done!
2. Absolutely died at Bobby Brickolini.
3. Could we hope for one of these vids for Sylvaneth in the near future?
I'm so happy you've started doing these videos again or just videos at all. It's always a treat to watch your content
I hope my disclaimer in that cultist section came through well enough - many of them are decent/niche, like golems 3+ save, ravager pre-game move, furies movement/command farm with eternus, it's just they're all outclassed strongly by snakes/deepstrike dudes in the chaff+ role.

ERRATA: Nurgle banner FAQ'd to still be amazing don't worry. Worsen rend of melee weapons that target them by 1.
ERRATA: Varanguard only get Rally bonus in Empty Throne, not Hosts anymore. Still good.
Honestly, I’m happy some of our coolest models even have niche uses now. Getting into this army during the marauder meta was just.. ugh they’re gross. Even bigger bonus when Splintered Fang (my favorite and first warband) are broken af for some reason
Has the icons of chaos section seen some errata? The text for both the dread banner and the eroding icon don't match what you say in the video
@@nickq8093 yes they both have
I have 4 Frank Frazetta posters, and they are all of Death Dealer. My fate is sealed
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well
These guides get better and better with each one. I really apprechiate all the work you put into these man, it really shows!
I picked Slaves to Darkness because I looked at their start collecting box and felt like I knew what everything was for. The near limitless /yourdudes/ potential was icing on the cake
Thank God for you. Just getting back into AoS since 2017, this and the Stormcast video is exactly what I needed. Thanks for making content that is so hard to find
Mother of god, man, this pace on new faction focus content is incredible! How much caffeine does it take to maintain that sort output?
Awesome commentary. Great job on the video.
Hoping for a Sylvaneth one at some point.
I see that big Jeff Virtua fighter reference and I appreciate you LOL. Always love the fighting game jokes you throw in your AOS vids haha
Have the book since the FOMO Box, never realised that I get Eye of the Gods after snatching an Objective. +1 for educational content
Big, also honored to have some of my models in the video !
BEST STD PAINTER ON THE SERVER BROTHER
Actually Darkoath Warqueen is worth taking because she has muscular thighs.
A man of culture, I see
I think a crew of 3 or 4 Warqueens all marked undivided could be a fun meme in the current GHB.

Oh 💩! Thanks for including my Deamon Prince and crediting me 🙌🏻❤️🙌🏻
Easily the best propaganda lore and art section. Couldn’t share the video quick enough :)
I havent stopped laughing about Zarshitta Shittersoul for like 3 days.
I’m back rewatching for Mr Brickolini
man i hallucinated and thought you posted another faction breakdown after this and got excited, goddamn is it nice to get more heywoah aos uploads,
I'm loving this series! Fingers crossed for a Blades of Khorne one or OBR
Man, these guides are great. Still (slowly) working on 40k orks after getting back into the hobby after more than a decade, but I plan to start an AoS army soon-ish and these are really useful in helping me figure out what I'm looking for.
I lost it on Fomoroid Crusher's raging demon. Honestly want to get him now
Ive ran 3 and let me tell you that center objective was a warzone
I love these new "why you should play" videos, I found your channel through the old ones and I love them even though I don't even play AoS lol
Its between this faction and Seraphon. Of course the real chad answer is just be both.
Thanks for making this I fell in love with chaos warriors. Which ones all of them. Then realized I could run an entire army of black armored hell knights with slot machines as a tactic. I love it.

all the Hokuto no Ken references were great ,nice work!
Gilnere's a local player here and probably the best painter I know. So glad to see his models featured multiple times in this video.
I’m so happy they made chaos warriors good
This series is such a W
I wish there was someone to do videos like this for 40k
Really love these fation focus videos man, keep it up as always
Notably both the army box and Vanguard box have no wasted units. Chef's kiss.

Oh i always love your faction focus videos.
love these, thank you
only thing im left wishing for is one or two list ideas at the end to bring it all together
Since Seraphon are getting new models, I hope there’s a box battle with them both in it.
great guides - excited for the eventual KO one, idk if you're planning on waiting for their eventual BT or not, might be worth it to tho
Waiting till their new tome later this year
Glad you were able to work in the 'double gennies' meme from on old!
This video came out the same day my battletome came in and I finished my 1500 point army of Ok units and Chaff
Both mounted lords make a unit of knights or chariots fight alongside him so it effectively gives them fight first. That's a buff to me.
I think the logic is, the knight or chariot unit was gonna fight first if they charged anyway. Always fights first isnt as common as it once was. Still if you stack 2 knights and 2 lords thats 5 activations first which is good but a dedicated build
It's 'Kind Of' a buff, but only just.

I think combat mounted Lords are cooler than they are good, but by no means are they trash.
@@HeyWoah You can throw in say, a unit of Chosen or Varanguard, and fight with three units before they fight with one.
Great breakdown, light on LSV-able moments.
Love that this video exists. Hell yeah!
The editing and commentary are equal parts informative and hilarious. Your channel is a gem, sir. You rock 🤘
This channel deserves more subscribers.
the fomoroid spin, aces nice
would love to see one on beasts of chaos soon since they got a new battletome recently
I have an old DE manticore rider. I guess he’s a chaos guy now (or a proxied CoS dragon rider now ..)
I got mad love for the use of Fist of the North Star memes. The new STD models look phenomenal.
BIG video, as always. Slight correction at 43:10 ... u cant rally Varanguard anymore, as per FAQ.
You could've posted an infinitely more cursed clip of North Star fighting game of you really wanted to show how powerful Archaeon was. That game has no brakes
That game has enough loops that time left in round is often the decider lol
@@HeyWoah I'm sorry to say chat that It did in fact not kill.
Just want to say that most AoS strategy guides bore me until I'm forced to flee and I blame this for why my generalship sucks. Yours does not, legit enjoyed it and leaned things.
Oh Host of the Everchosen doesnt effect Vanguard, that got Faqed with the same one that changed the rally to a 5+
fridge frazetta is real
Alrighty warband we're here to ask one simple question, will it kill? - Sajam Hoopbourne
awesome, their were my first army but i got some soulblight after they came out and i kinda forgot about my chaos boys but i really need to buy the new models and start playing with them again. i hope they are better than before or maybe i was just bad but they looked so amating but then get beaten in every aspekt by some wierd lizard guys.
Every day my pogs grow in anticipation for the Orruk Warclans video
Love this series. Thanks for making it and hope there are more to come
I just bought two of the S2D boxes thanks to this dude and the meme at the start of the video. My poor wallet.
The power of double Gennys strikes again!
WAKE UP BABE NEW FACTION FOCUS
My favorite way GW shelfs old old old ugly looking kits is when they just make the warscroll bad instead of just NOT printing it. I am happy they chose to make the army-defining models (Demon Prince..... nooo....) be... GOOD !!
I slept on this video but watched it today. Damn it's good
I can't believe I'm being called out within one second of the video's beginning.
You had me at the TLDR. Me 1000%
watched the first 20 seconds, already sold on the army
Decided to start these guys cause I have Be'lakor already for 40k and ngl these dudes rock. Thanks GW for making him legal in both games!
first time i used the slambo i've rolled a double 1 so my advise is to not do that if:
-you put an artifact and teleport
-your oppo don't give you the triumph since you started with 100 points less
My usual advice is to Just Roll 6s.
At least they finally fixed the issue of WFB eye of the gods of demon prince being just as bad as spawn. No artifacts, no upgrades, no option to not take it, and you also count as killed.
Another top notch video, keep what your doing my man, your great at it. Also, I see the tons of fighting game references and I am here for it.
giga chad OP Army idea: 1 Exalted Hero of Chaos named Kaiji and 19 Bobby Brickolinnis
Dang it that first meme is literally my thoughts on this faction lol.
Makes me want to play again
HeyWoah! Can you do a video on the dwarfs with beard guns unless you already have and I missed it I want to buy my first AoS army and I'm a dwarf man through and through.

Jammin with the Bigs and the trim
Less then 10 seconds and and you've earned my like with that meme
You had me at get juiced up for infinite gains.
Very cool to see my knights in this ! Was suprised 😅 (im loxmaster)
RUclips username is "loxmaster"
Says (im loxmaster)
5/7 post, would read again.
Well... They do have cool armor.
“Johnny in full cope mode” the Dark Master will remember that!
“For many of you, it all started with this: [HeroQuest Box]. This guy in particular: [Chaos Warrior].” Yup. Got me exactly. Had the game at 10 and made the family play. It’s why I owned these guys at 14 and it’s why I’ll own these guys at 40.
You got me with that RLM artwork of sad Mike
Top informative series
Thoroughly enjoyed
I made a list that I’m quite sure will be fun but incredibly swingy.
legion of the first prince with everything being undivided. Be’lakor included for general annoyance.
The warlord takes the instant roll trait. The wizard takes the roll spell. The entire army is built around maximizing the use of the eye of the gods table with the centaurion marshall just being generally annoying by rallying Knights, Warriors and Chosen (who take the double roll banner so they can double roll as soon as they’re deployed) on a 5+. Legionnaires and Furies included as chaff.
Is it good? Absolutely not. But, I think it will be quite fun.
i still miss your love for the kharadron overlords =/
Can't wait until their 3rd ed battletome comes out and I can do a modern Why Play on them.
@@HeyWoah thats so good to hear :D
I’ve found iron golems to still be useful for just sitting on objectives in small games. They are a bit expensive though
I would LOVE one of these for BoC after the new book's been out for a bit.
very informative. thaks
Holy cows the speed these videos are being churned out…and the quality. My god
Really like your style
Ah surprise heroquest. Love it.
I wanna run a reinforced fomoroid crusher unit and mod them to be holding and throwing cans of Campbell's soup. Officer, Its soup for their family.
Excellent video 👍
I gotta say that the Gladiator's Net part alone was enough to justify the watch of this 40 minutes video.
I’m going to listen to this tomorrow during workout. This is as good or better than anything else. 😏
Oh hey, the coolest faction got their video!
...oh my God, am I a StD player? I think I am now, oh gods!
