Orks vs Chaos | 500 point narrative Warhammer 40k battle report

[@MidwinterMinis]

Can you think of any other crazy 500 point match-ups you'd like to see? A Gorkanaut and 27 Gretchin is a perfectly balanced 500 point army, right?

[@finnmcgrath3672]

Horde of Gretchen vs a horde of poxwalkers

[@DarthMaul2]

where is the interview you did with dave?

[@SarajevoKyoto]

A group of T'au Stealth Suits and a Ghostkeel playing an Ambush map against some Sisters of Battle, perhaps?

I loved every second of this! Especially the haggis!!!

[@Josh24861]

Really? Haggis?

[@jmaccsarmiesofmiddleearth]

@@Josh24861 Oh fuck aye

[@daili4275]

Nothing beats freshly caught haggis, I hope Guy hunted it down from the highlands for you himself.

[@Freeman-bt9od]

Haggis in England? Heresy!

[@thomasrevill7723]

Love the smaller scale games and the narrative styling - storytelling has always been my favourite part of the hobby, whether it's through modelling, painting or gameplay

[@Bluecho4]

Narrative elements are my favorite part of the hobby as well.

[@MentatOfDune]

Love these small battles. Shows non 40K players (like me) that I could collect small armies, fudge the army build rules a little and still have a blast.

[@Kingspawn000]

Most definitely! One of the (often forgotten) modes of play is Open Play, where pretty much anything you and your buddies are good with goes!

[@alexfilmwriting]

Yeah Open Play is really really fun. You wouldn't know it by reading the rules or watching tons of content, but seriously most games are just open play narrative nonsense loosely balanced and played for the love of the game. This was awesome, Guy. Shows new people and vets alike how fun it can be to slap down cool models and roll dice.

[@MFnDahk]

Look up warhammer skirmish, nercromunda, or mordheim, very small scale games but alpt more focus on individual characters.

[@lesingesavant]

This was so fun! Instantly in my top 5 MWM for 'Noooo. Not my Gorkamorka fort. I just built it!'

[@miniwargaming]

It’s the curse of the “freshly painted model!” It must be destroyed the first game it’s in lol.

[@sXeAndriex]

I LOVE the look on these two armies on the table. One grim and desaturated, the other bright and war beaten. They compliment each other really well.

[@GenuineMartin]

I can't get over how good Ghazghkull looks in the purple, I love the colour scheme.

[@monty6851]

What do you mean? I don't see Ghazghkull at all in the video

[@Seti12345]

There was a Ghazghkull?!?

[@SgtMudbug]

I like these smaller, more... intimate, fights. Love it.

[@SarajevoKyoto]

Absolutely love the narrative-focused games! Nothing wrong with straight-up competition, and your SC Death Match is a truly awesome series, but there's just something so...RIGHT about getting attached to these little guys that you've put so much love into, and giving them a proper story.

[@gunnarsoderhielm3425]

This video is great fun. Proves that you don't need massive, perfectly balanced and heavily optimised armies to have fun with the game. Some of my fondest memorys of warhammer are small, single unit skirmishes that me and my buddies from school would play out during recesses.

[@Astronomical_Cinematics]

I can’t believe you met Dave! He’s in my province in Canada where he has the MiniWarGaming studio there as well! So glad you made this collaboration video with him!!! 😲😃

[@GabAllThePizza]

Which province?

[@demonblade56]

this was such a cool match. remember that ghaz is a monster so you could have unloaded morks roar into Abaddon in engagement range at the end. However melee finisher was the orky way to go

[@miniwargaming]

It was definitely more lore-appropriate that he finished him off in cc.

[@mylesmanore6197]

Was really hoping to see a larger, longer battle, but great to watch either way! Really hope you do more of these Guy!

[@freddyfrieza6742]

I love Dave so much, also one of my all time favorite hobby ambassadors 💚

[@bigscary2110]

This hobby literally just brings people together, god damn it’s good !

[@PeopleAcct707]

Guy? Dave? ORKS?! CHAOS?! 500 POINTS?! HELL YEAH!!!!!

"Ghazghull iz da most 'ospitable! Give 'em de 'aggis boyz!!!"

[@CurrentKick]

This was great! I've never really been able to watch a battle report before, I always find them boring. I'd keep watching this format, Guy. Great video!

[@Grymbaldknight]

"Choosing to valiantly overwatch against Abaddon, four of the Ork Nobz use their Slugga pistols, and the remaining Nob uses his Partee Poppa."

Dream battle report: dave playing his chaos marines, bridger from table top titians with his custodes and nick from play on table top with his tau.....produced/narrated by guy and penny.

[@robisonwells1]

Two of my favorite RUclipsrs, and love seeing boss vs boss. Nicely done!

[@Maxmillion77]

Really love those chaos conversions! Also purple Gaz looking majestic as ever.

[@AJBunBun]

MOAR! GIMME MOAR!
I loved this. Guy, please make more 500pts silly narrative stuff with mates.

[@Bluecho4]

I, for one, think it's good to normalize 500 pt games. It helps new players know that they don't need to fork over ludicrous amounts of money or paint loads of minis just to play. Lowering the barrier to entry.
Plus, RUclips has precious few creators who post 500 pt battle reports (one of the only ones that comes to mind is Tabletop Warbands). Sometimes, a viewer doesn't have the time for full 2000 pt battle reports (especially the ones that last for 2-3 hours in real time).

[@PhantomJavelin]

14:00 Something about the way Dave posed and moved made him look like an action figure lmao

[@Josh24861]

Love the content guy! Been watching for a few months.
Comment for tha algorithm and the channel. I hope you and your family are doing well

[@Josh24861]

Also I play black legion and love to see content like this.

[@lorenzosanti3440]

Amazing battle report and story! Can't wait for Deathmatch tournament to keep going

[@animusvids]

Great to watch a good old fun game of 40k without all that stupid competitive rules

[@thelonelybolter8245]

Guy that was so good! Very fun, short and sweet, awesome! Also surprisingly close!!?? I'll take it ;)

[@Wortwort-Spooderbat]

I have no idea how the rolling works overall but this was alot of fun to watch since I'm out of 40k animation and movies to watch

[@haffton20003]

Ive been super excited to see this. Just the intro already earned a like for the video

[@KabinMiniatures]

So fun to have you two fight each other with your kind-of signature armies!

[@Snotgul]

Do more like this!! I REALLY LIKE these low points games, with more narrative style!

[@jakethesnekk]

These short battles are always nice, I could binge them all day long.

[@Specterlias]

Thank you so much for these videos. They kept me entertained during lockdown and actually made me appreciate the hobby. In fact I’ve started collecting custodes and necrons and love playing with friends and family. Keep up the battles and just remember that everyone here loves your videos. Thank you for everything you make and the time spent to make said videos.

[@Courtistlost]

I loved the narrative play style and also the smaller sized army! 🖤 story telling is such an awesome part of warhammer it honestly brings the game to life and way more fun ! 😆

[@Karlos11188]

Best battle report I've seen

[@RavenMinis]

I wish more channels would do small point matches like this

[@BobSmith-ui1ok]

looks like great fun was had. I was pulling for Abadon.

[@sekliley7587]

had youtube on auto play... looked up when I noticed it change to this video and jumped when I saw Dave staring at the camera.

[@clobster9560]

Loved the short battle report, and the Gorka Morka Forta brought me back to simpler times... also, best guest spot on MWM so far!

[@sergio9669]

That one plagumarines sword looks like Cinquedea with a bell/nurgle symbol as a gaurd really sick

[@bettsdn]

Honestly this short style of battle report is my favorite of any channel. Also Dave is bae.

[@ironbomb6753]

So great to see Dave on this channel! He was the first 40K you tuber I ever watched and have been hooked ever since. Great video Guy, 👍

[@euansmith3699]

This was great fun. Having both players enthusiastically narrating their turns was cool; and the single use of strats makes for a nicely streamlined game.

[@Direksone]

Dave is the GOAT! One of the best ambassadors for miniwargaming (hue hue) there is!

[@chimerachick9405]

Battle report of the YEAR!!! HUGE thanks to you both!!!

[@Swampsong117]

I love the look of the chaos marines, absolutely beautiful.

[@Writh811]

This was great. I loved how you guys played out your own little story. The small scale of the battle meant things were moving along briskly. I don't know what else to say but more please!

[@bkeatonz]

Love when Miniwargaming Dave just randomly shows up. My absolute favorite 🤘

[@deniseclair6100]

This was so fun! you guys looked and sounded like you were having such a good time, that was awesome

[@ZionPhantomhive]

Really enjoyed the bite sized elite fight!

[@peterthegreat5889]

Awesome game, only a shame there wasn't another battle report with the both of you playing!

[@HMJ66]

I don't know if it's the "correct" way to pronounce it, but I've always called him "aBADdon" rather than "ABAddon" because he's a bad guy, he's literally "a bad'un", so it just made sense to me that that's why he's called that 🤷

[@leejamesburns]

This was super fun. Been great to see Dave touring around these sceptered isles. Hope filming that Chaos thing went well!

I never realized that Ghazghkull is so much bigger than Abaddon :O

Pretty sure somebody else already commented but, Gaz gets to shoot in melee. He is a monster and big guns never tire.

[@boredsoim01]

Random thought: I wish someone could play a 3.5 edition 40k game and post a battle report somewhere. Never got to play it as a kid and would love to see how a full game ran down.

[@Badartist888]

There probably would be some. I've seen a lot of other edition games but not that one. People like to play the one they grew up with.

[@yesmilord2350]

That was a fun lil bat rep to watch

Great battle and nice collab! The back and forth was awesome!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Small 40k for the win! Thanks for sharing the adventure.

[@josephstewart2821]

Great work on this video, I am sick of how lazy 40k reports have become in recent years and putting unedited 2-3 hour battles that no one has got time to be watching. It never used to be that bad

[@oliverp3545]

That first turn was brutal.

[@redline3090]

Love this format! Very entertaining! More please.

[@marcello9476]

small scale games are my favorite to watch, it makes it easier to follow the action, as I find It difficult to get invested in a 10,000 points battle report

[@ross7191]

Not knowing much about 40k units rules I thought for sure Gaz was dead early on.. then I here he only takes 4 per phase and everything is 2+ and he gets stronger as he gets wounds… man’s a beast made the fight way more balanced than I thought. Enjoyed it - nice short video too which I appreciate when I’m ‘working’
