Excellent stuff - just one thing, if you bring a QUAKE Cannon, please fire it last because it has one of the most hilarious rules: It makes deadly demise happen on a 3+ on destroyed targets. Seeing an exploding Knight in the middle of that fortress would have been such a great cinematic scene. Still big entertainment, many thanks for all the great work!
This was absolutely a glorious battle report. I usually don't enjoy such one-sided carnage, but this was special. I guess because the side that won this one was the one I thought would be pulverized into the ground by turn 4. Truly a Merry Christmas. Thanks winters, sultan and everyone else who watches these battle reports and makes them happen.
That was glorious, really put me into the holiday mood. Merry christmas! Edit. Ok I just got to turn two. I felt your pain. Maybe alternating players in round one could create some more balanced superheavy fights?
The HAMMER of the EMPEROR! Loved this report - sometimes something daft like this makes a fun watch from a narrative perspective, so I wouldn't sweat balance concerns.
Amazing looking armies. Also, it was fun to watch a narrative game with house rules and the like. The open nature of the board gave a nice, cinematic outcome. Thanks for the video.
I haven't played 40k in decades but would a house rule where each opponent alternates firing/moving one unit at a time (like a chess match) have made this a more balanced game?
Hey awesome video as always! I thought you couldn’t get a tank commander to order himself or be ordered as he doesn’t have the squadron keyword? Or have I got mixed up Thank you in advance!
Only halfway through this, but it's one of the best in a while! One note regarding hazardous, in 10th, you only need to make a single role person weapon fired. No more making hazard rolls for each individual shot. If one gun shot (no matter how many shots) you make one roll. Super friendly for things with Blast like a Macro Plasma Incincerator.
Really awesome. Let have a big battle report with guard vs tyrranids or greenskins. A big battle maybe 5000 point on both sides. Lots tanks (or monsters in case of nids) and scores of foot soldiers.
Normally Tank Commanders can only order squadrons. Baneblade class tanks are not squadrons. The only officer who can order any Astra Militarum unit is Leontus
Great game, awesome power of the Guard with decent dice rolls shows just how they can delete an army in a couple of turns. Poor Winters...your dice roliing was painful to watch....sometimes you just get dice days like that.....good fun in a narrative game though!
thanks for the christmas vid. how do you stay engaged in the game for so long, as whenever i play with friends we always manage to get distracted and never finish a game! :)
Winter's ability to STILL not know death guard rules 6 months into the edition is my favourite thing: Entropy Cannons are D+1 damage each, so that first entropy cannon volley shouldve done 10 wounds to that tank :(
A piece of line of sight blocking terrain in the center of the board would give guard the choice of "do I move up and maximize number of targets, or do I stay in place and maximize accuracy against those visible. It prevents turn 1 shooting of the board, and a central piece to pivot your armies around, neither player could afford to just hide behind it the whole time, there would be some play for table position, not just who shoots first.
I love both you guys but this was a firing range not a batrep. Never seen a game before where one player should skip their own turns because they're so pointless. Maybe you should've let one destroyed chaos model come back onto the board each turn? Was looking forward to seeing what those knights could do in close combat until turn 1 happened. Not moving anything turn 1 in a narrative game felt kinda toxic as you had first turn by default. Finally I'm glad winters had fun, but what world was he in that a few squads of plague marines had a chance to survive against a tank batallion?! Sultan you never played your admech :( poor guys are sitting on a shelf forgotton about and being tortured by the games workshop rule makers. As they're my only army it makes me sad. Sorry to be a debbie downer, hope you both had a lovely christmas!
Cool models, cool narrative, but much too "unbalanced" - starting with the guard and letting all the monsters have a clear field of fire. The game was over after round one.
@@gobknobbler3465so, you need terrain to make it a better game? I'd rather play a game with a less polite turn-taking structure. But that's just me, obv.
You still need terrain no matter if you have a turn sequence or alternating sequence - otherwise no melee army would survive against Tau or Guard. You need terrain in any case, without terrain the game is always skewed, the turn structure just makes it even worse

I wish some other stuff had the rule, DD almost never happens.

Truly a Merry Christmas. Thanks winters, sultan and everyone else who watches these battle reports and makes them happen.
This is awesome thank you very much for making a solo Xmas infinitely better! We need to get sultan playing heresy ASAP
There's lots of us on a solo Xmas. Merry Xmas! 😊
I concur.
That was glorious, really put me into the holiday mood. Merry christmas!
Edit. Ok I just got to turn two. I felt your pain. Maybe alternating players in round one could create some more balanced superheavy fights?
Lol, I don't even need to watch the video to know what happened : those poor knights probably got absolutely destroyed.
Maybe track casualties during turn 1, and remove them at the end of the turn; allowing both players to get a one round of shooting at full strength?
That's how Battletech works, simultaneous turns feel better than getting shot off the board
Would not have helped as the chaos knights were cqc focused
Remember the cardboard baneblade in a white dwarf? I'd love to still have that issue and try make it
The A team on Christmas day - what a treat!
Thank you from America land. I was just finishing the Raven Gaurd battle report when this Christmas miracle arrived, cheers
The baneblade and banesword cannot take orders as they do not have the squadron keyword.
"It's fine, it's fine"
IT'S NOT FINE WINTERS D:
It's fine
@@wintersSEO *Narrator voice*
"It was not, in fact, fine"
😆😆😆@@repthe21st66
This is the first time that i will watch a battle report twice. I enjoyed that Panzer carnage too much.
This might just be my favorite battle of the channel....
As a Chaos Knight player, I think I know how this game is going to turn out and I haven't even watched it yet! :/
Bro they never stood a chance
Gosh, Tankmas!
Tanks Winters!
A second battle report?! It’s a Festivus miracle!!
The HAMMER of the EMPEROR! Loved this report - sometimes something daft like this makes a fun watch from a narrative perspective, so I wouldn't sweat balance concerns.
Christmas. Tanks and a hot chocolate. This is turning out to be a great day
God I love the tanks doing what tanks were meant to do. Great if one sided fight.
Amazing looking armies. Also, it was fun to watch a narrative game with house rules and the like. The open nature of the board gave a nice, cinematic outcome. Thanks for the video.

Never send a Death Guard to do a Daemons' job.
Merry Christmas!

I think a house rule of Revenge on turn one might have been an interesting idea... Just an idea. Thanks for the content :)
Awsome game! Great to see all the superheavies in action.
The perfect video to watch immediately after being given a baneblade
I thought for the longest time these minis were painted by a guy named Dan working at Imagination studios
That is a hot DG army Winters!
12:02 Sultan brings in a 2 to wound the rampager, is this loss?
Wow that game was amazing. Makes me want to buy and paint some imperial guard tanks.
this is such a cool setup always love the narrative love you put into your videos
Greetings from Canuckia! Merry Christmas Winty and Sultoh, oh and HAPPY TANKSGIVING!
I liked wh when even if you failed charge roll you still had too move foreward
Wow, i didn't expect such a result)
P.S Sultans painting and conversion is something!
Great battle report, loved the narrative
Hey awesome video as always!
I thought you couldn’t get a tank commander to order himself or be ordered as he doesn’t have the squadron keyword? Or have I got mixed up
Thank you in advance!
Great to see the humans have such an overwhelming victory over the forces of chaos 🙏🏼. Unbelievable rolls sultan!! Great report, happy Christmas 🎅🏻
You make the best battle reports as they are very easy to follow; please do more Horus heresy
After having a critical look at the table (10:44) it is obvious this is an execution, not a battle
i love fair terrain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glorious Battle will be had!
Pretty sure the Super Heavy's can't have Orders since they're not Squadron models?
And also the tank commanders can't have orders too because of the same reason...

neat stuff and do not see such tanks glad i tune in a GREAT holday to youz
He wields the entire imperium! lol, awesome
Yay! Big stuff! Merry Christmas Winters!

Was not expecting the "On God." Shouldn't it have been, "By the Emperor!"
Big guns go Boom, Boom, Boom.
It’s a Christmas massacre.
Next instead of superheavy tanks its just pure conscripts rushing the Death Guard
Surely the defending force with fewer points should have gone first. Would have made for a more balanced game.
Talk about firepower, damn
Tank you for this vid!
With a game on this scale, would alternative activation of units give a closer battle?
Christmas Battle Report 🔥 love u winters
Merry Christmas Winter’s.
What’s the color of the if tanks? I like how they look.
Defenders fight first always ;)
Now have the Gray Knights show and eradicate the winners.
at 12 mins the guy changes a 2 to wound to a 4 lmao
thanks for the christmas vid. how do you stay engaged in the game for so long, as whenever i play with friends we always manage to get distracted and never finish a game! :)
That was an awesome thing to watch, despite the (obvious) outcome, its still good to try these things out - proves not every 2k force is equal!
Wouldn't Winters' knight need 5s and not 4s against the Banesword? Knights don't get a 4+ inv.
Winter's ability to STILL not know death guard rules 6 months into the edition is my favourite thing:
Entropy Cannons are D+1 damage each, so that first entropy cannon volley shouldve done 10 wounds to that tank :(
Sultan used a strat to reduce the damage
@@chrish4673 irrelevant, his words were along the lines of "entropy Cannons don't have d6+2 anymore, it's just d6."

Sultan bring guard again and the big tanks
One-sided but still fun.
O BABY!
Ssssssmoked!
11:58 sultan cheats?
Good game, however predictable based on who went first. Chaos nor any army can come back from losing 2 big units T1. Not a feel good moment.

Alpha strike mutter mutter stupid turn sequence mutter mutter mutter this is why i don't play 40k mutter Happy Xmas!
This is not a typical 40k game lol. There was no Los blocking terrain
@@gobknobbler3465so, you need terrain to make it a better game? I'd rather play a game with a less polite turn-taking structure. But that's just me, obv.
Play Epic! You get the same tanks, and a much more sensible turn structure.
@@JustMonikaOk I had thought about that, for sure.
You still need terrain no matter if you have a turn sequence or alternating sequence - otherwise no melee army would survive against Tau or Guard. You need terrain in any case, without terrain the game is always skewed, the turn structure just makes it even worse
300 tons is nothing I washboard a 750 ton fishing boat, where are the 40k gunboat, 40k gunboat battles pls
Boooring
now reset with winters first turn
Would be the same result, winters would maybe kill 1 tank before both knights were wiped off the table.
Saaddddd 🥲🥲
I was so excited to finally see chaos knights on the channel, and they just get whooped by the tanks 😢
