I absolutely love the new editing changes, its really nice to get more shots of the players going through what theyre doing and their live reactions. Talking in more detail through the movement phase is nice too. Keep it up!
This might be the best balance between engaging, social and efficient battle report I have ever seen. The fact that you showed this much interaction and player engagement and still managed a quick paced video is cool as hell.
I think the editing changes work great! Provided some more insight and helps the viewer to feel like they are at the LGS and peeking into a friend's game. Great work as always 👏
It's always good to see Sylvaneth! As someone who just started collecting, it's especially cool to see Belthanos. Can't wait to see how this battle goes for him! Edit: oh, lol
This new format change is absolutely incredible! Oh my goodness this makes me want to become a member if you can keep it this way. I love having the discussion though the video instead of having to remember what happened at each moment when you would do the recap. 10/10 well done!
Really enjoy the new format, it's nice to hear some of the conversation on activation priorities and positioning for units! Also seing some rolls as you're doing them adds to the suspsense!
Love this new format, like others said.. Its a good balance of trimming down time and still giving us you're live reactions to what's happening and the major dice roll moments. Also that was a fun battle, even if it saddens my wooden Sylvaneth heart we lost :(
Really enjoyed the game. Very solid positioning and play by the Tzeentch player. My congratulations to you sir. Really enjoyed also the editing: stopping to see the crucial moments is great. Thank you for those changes
Chaos is a home favourite myself I’m khorne and my sons are tzeentch and STD and my wife nurgle so this was a real treat my youngest is vampires 🧛 but we love your channel guys 👹👍💯
New format is really great. Seeing a bit more of the rolls and chat between players really adds to the experience and puts us be more inside the battle than before. Bravo 👏 👏
Played the enlightened without their most potent ability 😅 You cannot receive ANY commands within 3 and at 13:17 it already happened twice. Went back to the lists to check if they were indeed enlightened and not skyfires 😅 Makes a HUGE difference. The new format is really nice though
I really love the new style. Btw I saw Belthanos using AAD and Durthu using AAA which is both not possible into TEoD. They block Command Abilities in the Combat Phase. Dont know if it was already in the comments.
Loved the new format! ❤ It's great seeing the interaction accompanying the narration. It feels a lot more emersive. Keep up the great work! Just out of curiosity, does it take more work editing this format or the other?
Not sure how much it did in the game, if they would have survived Durthu or not. But can't issue commands to units in combat with Enlightened on discs. I really like the new format though!
Hello, found out this video months after release but was smitten by how beautiful the paint jobs on the sylvaneth are with the darkish purple/noctural colours complemented by the very bright reds/magentas, could I perhaps ask which colours were used there and whether it was airbrushed or painted with brushes and constrasts etc??
I liked the old format, but this new format is a great mix of narrative, banter and rolling. But imagine if you could ever get Unleash Swarm of Spites off a single time!
I seem to be in a minority in preferring the old 'battle report' style that clearly describes what's happening without interludes. I found it one of SoW's selling points over other channels, and I've stopped watching the unedited 40k reports because the actual gameplay process isn't much of a spectator sport. In a practical sense the loss of the narrator with a dedicated microphone for most key game events makes it easier to parse than players announcing which spells are being cast (especially as you do what a lot of people do during gameplay, and describe the effect rather than naming the spell - "The Lady of Vines will cast her ward aura" - which takes something from the immersion). Losing the end of turn analysis is also unfortunate - although it can be a little repetitive at times, the players summarising why they made the plays they did is something I generally found interesting and useful.
Idk why everyone hates on the double turn. Yeah it adds variance but this game perfectly depicts how you can use it as a wildcard when youre behind. In most games it is usually optimal to play with big risky plays when behind, and what better risk-reward than a double turn?
It seems to me that the lord of change can't dispell spiteswarm because who is visibility on him. Something he hasn't seen since he's hidden by the Sylvaneth forest. Very nice battle report !
Pretty sure you can't use all out defense against the enlightened. Might have been changed, but can't issue or receive commands when in combat with them.
Hmm if you are gonna cut to the people rolling the dice, I would prefer to see the dice rolls. Maybe a camera over a dice box that you cut to? kind of preferred the old format
New format is great! Just one question, how did the fateskimmer try to cast a blizzard? He has a mount so cannot be a locus right? Or was it the magister casting and the voice over made a small error?
@ryancooper3629 oh you're totally right! I must have just assumed it because it was the case with the galetian champions. Good to know actually, thanks! 😁
Also helps with unbind reliability. I was able to almost completely lock out Jordan's magic phase because of how much reliable unbinding I had. Also I had no destiny dice recovery so I didn't intend to be spamming out a ton of destiny dice. I needed to save some for my grand strat. Realistically cult demogogue is only going to get 1 maybe 2 auto casts per game and its going to cost you 2-4 destiny dice to do it.
How did the spiteswarm hive get dispelled? It was at the back of the wyldwood so would be invisible. Unless there are some Tzeentchian shenanigans I haven’t encountered before? Ps. Love the new style. Very easy to follow and see what is happening.
It's really dumb, but the wording actually only restricts abilities that requires you to 'pick' a unit, and Strike and Fade is not one that requires that.
@@SeasonofWarThe seasons wouldn't work at all for Places of Power if you needed to "pick" a unit... LVO/AoS Worlds ruling is that Reaping and Everdusk change the range for Walk the Hidden Paths, Strike and Fade and Places of Power
It hurts my soul to see all out defense and all out attack being used against the tzaangor enlightened. Easy rule to miss but you can't receive commands within 3" of them in combat phase. "TZAANGOR BUBBLING SCREECHES INTENSIFY"
Not sure im a huge fan of the priority/double turn mechanic. If youre the worlds unluckiest dice thrower like sylvaneth guy youre basically getting double fisted, dry, with a run up.
Warsong just aint that good these days , gotta go lean with Lady of Vines, Durthu, Belty and maybe a Branchwych. Load up on some 6 Kurnoth w/ Greatswords
Still havent been a fan of the warsong this GHB. With primals you are forced to play with him back and take the spellsinger command trait. Then if you play into a heavy spell casting army thats 300 points wasted on a unit.
I absolutely love the new editing changes, its really nice to get more shots of the players going through what theyre doing and their live reactions. Talking in more detail through the movement phase is nice too. Keep it up!
Thanks so much for the feedback Nicolas, glad you enjoyed the format! 😁🙏
Big agree with this. The big moments are the best part of the game.
This might be the best balance between engaging, social and efficient battle report I have ever seen. The fact that you showed this much interaction and player engagement and still managed a quick paced video is cool as hell.
This is the best battlereport i have ever seen 😮

Thanks Joe, happy to hear it! We really wanted to make the reports more engaging!
It's always good to see Sylvaneth! As someone who just started collecting, it's especially cool to see Belthanos. Can't wait to see how this battle goes for him!
Edit: oh, lol
Love the new format. Report is still very fast and compact but we get the excitement of the big dice rolls at the same time. ❤
Those changes are insane, it really add something to the report! 🥰
My favourite Battle Reports in whole RUclips (AOS, 40K and Kill Team). Even better with those new edits. 👏🏻
This new format change is absolutely incredible! Oh my goodness this makes me want to become a member if you can keep it this way. I love having the discussion though the video instead of having to remember what happened at each moment when you would do the recap. 10/10 well done!
big fan of the new batrep, looking forward to more of this. Seems like you found another way to make it an easier bite to watch
Really enjoy the new format, it's nice to hear some of the conversation on activation priorities and positioning for units! Also seing some rolls as you're doing them adds to the suspsense!
I really enjoyed the new format. It's much more coherent and has a good flow.
Thanks! We were really striving to make it more watchable and engaging!

Editing is sick. Really appreciate how much work you guys put into your videos.
Love the new format guys. This is brilliant. More interactions. Feels more human too, and super good editing, as usual
Love the new format and the way you value feedback and trying to improve on an absolutely amazing job you guys do
Absolutely loved the new format! Sush a great balance of rolling dice seeing tactical toughts and strategies. Please make more like this

Very well produced battle report. Love to see it!
Love the new camera position and the edit. More lively.
Really nice format, imo this is one of best battle report i've ever seen. Enjoy it throughly!!! Nice work!!
I'm really liking this format more then the old one!
I loved your old format. Was worried to see it changing, But I like the new format. You guys still have the best reports

Makes a HUGE difference. The new format is really nice though

Really enjoy the new format. It’s perfect.
Great video format. Been watching for ages. Realised I hadn’t subbed! I have now. Cheers for the awesome content chaps
Love the new setup!
"Nerdpoint" : Enlightened shuts down Command abilities within 3 in the combat phase
I like this new format.
Thank you!
Love this new format 🎉
Truly the best AoS battle reports on the internet!
Good job on new edit and style. Well done team
Love that new format, such a great balance !
I watched 2 minutes so for and I already like the new format much better. Much more narative !
I loove the new format! Great to hear the comments from the players during critical dicerolls 🎉
Really love the new format! Keep it up!
Great battle report. Love the new changes. Much easier to watch.
Go Ryan! Perfect game!!! Absolutely amazing and loving these changes!
Thanks so much Aaron, that means a lot!!! ♥️🙏
Really love the lady of vines conversion!
yeah MUCH prefer seeing the live dice rolls, great idea
I really love the new style.
Btw I saw Belthanos using AAD and Durthu using AAA which is both not possible into TEoD. They block Command Abilities in the Combat Phase. Dont know if it was already in the comments.
Great balance of real time and fast time. I think you've hit the magic recipe.

Thanks, and yeah totally forgot about that in the moment :(
I was really happy to see Ryan get a solid win. He seems like a cool dude.
Great editing changes !
I like that you try a different format. But tbh, I kinda loved your previous format (and previous camera set-up). =)
REALLY love the new style! Makes the games feel alot more personal! You get alot of the flavor more
love the new format! Brian FTW! good game lads

Great new format
Wanted to learn how to play Belthanos 😂! Great game and new format!
Fantastic editing, the new changes work really well. Any chance of a nighthaunt game soon!
what is the model at 6:11? is that a lady of vines proxy?

New format is great
Any Sylvaneth gameplay is good gameplay. Let's get this! Go trees!
great game! but have you forgotten to cast your auto endless spell after the set up and before turn 1?
It seems to me that the lord of change can't dispell spiteswarm because who is visibility on him. Something he hasn't seen since he's hidden by the Sylvaneth forest.
Very nice battle report !
Anything with 10+ wounds can see/be seen through Wyldwoods!
@@SeasonofWar Thanks for your feedback. I'd completely forgotten about this rule.
@@kevinicol4717 no worries!
Great Battle Report!
Excellent mix between speed and human engagement.
PS: Let’s go Tzeentch😊
Fire edits 🔥
Love the new style.

New format is great! Just one question, how did the fateskimmer try to cast a blizzard? He has a mount so cannot be a locus right? Or was it the magister casting and the voice over made a small error?
The requirmeents to be a Locus is that the hero is 9 wounds or less. Mounts are not mentioned.
@ryancooper3629 oh you're totally right! I must have just assumed it because it was the case with the galetian champions. Good to know actually, thanks! 😁
I like the new format
No commands around enlightened
Yep, units within 3” of tzaangors on discs cannot issue or receive orders in combat phase.
Only in combatphase. Means unleash hell e.g. works. Important detail
Why give Magister Master of Magic trait when you can give Cult Demogogue instead to simply auto cast w/destiny dice?
Helps with Spellcasting reliability without spending destiny dice!
Also helps with unbind reliability. I was able to almost completely lock out Jordan's magic phase because of how much reliable unbinding I had. Also I had no destiny dice recovery so I didn't intend to be spamming out a ton of destiny dice. I needed to save some for my grand strat.
Realistically cult demogogue is only going to get 1 maybe 2 auto casts per game and its going to cost you 2-4 destiny dice to do it.
love the format, and Sylvaneth still da best even when tabled. Excited to see what you will do next with Belthanos.
How did the spiteswarm hive get dispelled? It was at the back of the wyldwood so would be invisible.
Unless there are some Tzeentchian shenanigans I haven’t encountered before?
Ps. Love the new style. Very easy to follow and see what is happening.
models with 10 wounds and more (lord of change) can see into the wyldwood and also dispell it
@@HotelAlex87Ah, yes. That makes sense. Thanks!
I don't think durthu could do strike and fade that first turn. With everdusk it goes to a wholy within 6 and i believe that tree was too far away.
It's really dumb, but the wording actually only restricts abilities that requires you to 'pick' a unit, and Strike and Fade is not one that requires that.
@@SeasonofWarThe seasons wouldn't work at all for Places of Power if you needed to "pick" a unit...
LVO/AoS Worlds ruling is that Reaping and Everdusk change the range for Walk the Hidden Paths, Strike and Fade and Places of Power
@@_Fabien_B and that's totally reasonable. As I said, I think it's dumb, but as written, that is technically how it works.
It hurts my soul to see all out defense and all out attack being used against the tzaangor enlightened. Easy rule to miss but you can't receive commands within 3" of them in combat phase. "TZAANGOR BUBBLING SCREECHES INTENSIFY"
Possible to get some more mawtribes?
I'd like to - I've been trying to hunt down a used army to buy
Rewatching this... that dryad redeploy could have been better to keep Belthanos out of melee range of the enlightened
100% - just a sloppy play and didn't measure threat from the enlightened
Didn't tzeentch forget to set up the endless spell pre first phase ?
The book was set up. I had two Tzeentch Endless Spells.
ahh..missed that on that field
@@ryancooper3629
Not sure im a huge fan of the priority/double turn mechanic. If youre the worlds unluckiest dice thrower like sylvaneth guy youre basically getting double fisted, dry, with a run up.
Hard disagree over here - your assumption is that you always want to take the first turn each round, which isn't the case!
@SeasonofWar well i guess, but maybe it should be a choice rather than down to a dice roll? I dont know, ive not played aos
Warsong just aint that good these days , gotta go lean with Lady of Vines, Durthu, Belty and maybe a Branchwych. Load up on some 6 Kurnoth w/ Greatswords
Still havent been a fan of the warsong this GHB. With primals you are forced to play with him back and take the spellsinger command trait. Then if you play into a heavy spell casting army thats 300 points wasted on a unit.
Typical Sylvaneth gameplay nowadays...they don't do much anymore
