@@AndersRamm The black rage that blood angels suffer from is them reliving the fight between Sanguinius and Horus in their heads. They believe they are Sanguinius and no longer see things the way the rest of the marines do.
The terrain is really inventive; like a stage set in a theatre. I like how the Erasmaus, Death Company Marine, lives in a hallucinatory universe of grief. The paint jobs and the narration are both top-notch, and it is nice to Final Liberation music and graphics emerging from the Warp. Wot a brutal rukus!
I am absolutely loving the campaign. Glorious terrain, lovely vibrant paint jobs, fantastic storytelling, 10/10 production value; all in all, pure concentrated retrofun bursting with nostalgia. You are the best Ed!
Amazing thank you! I am planning on making some more 'Modellig Workshop' inspired terrain soon to keep the Armageddon setting varied and interesting. Comments like this are super motivating and make it all worth it :)
I played warhammer literally once and I have no idea about the rules of 2ed (why this poor, semi-sentient shroom gets barbecued and thrown like a rag doll without killing him clearly must be a divine intervention), yet I'm having a blast watching this story. Fun you're having here is inspiring, Ed, keep being awesome!
Amazing! Thank you so much. I loved Inferno so much and upon googling it, didn't realise it had such a long run. I wish GW would release a compendium of the work contained within that magazine.
@@edpaintsminis You and me both. Colin McNeil and Kev Walker's art is especially evocative of the grimdark far future. Up there with anything they made for 2000AD or the Judge Dredd Megazine. Originals and collected reprints are out there, but usually go for crazy money when resold.
It's strange. I never played 2nd ed but every batrep you upload is 1000% percent more enjoyable to me than any batrep of contemporary 40k. There's so much warmth and charm to these videos. Good stuff!
Whatever ill luck curses James has these starting to feel like black library books. I can only imagine it’s space marine plot armour stopping Orks from succeeding no matter how good their odds
The Orks were very unlucky tbf! They have quite a bit of hardware coming for the next batrep, so we'll have to see if the marines can maintain their Black Libraryesque stature!
This was more exciting and more fun to watch than when I was a kid waking up to watch Saturday morning cartoons (only 4 channels on the tv). Thank you for sharing and please keep them coming. This is fantastic!
Another awesome installment! You really make 2nd edition shine (again). From my perspective, this era was the most fun in 40K, and you certainly convey that! Please keep 'm coming 😎👍
Loved the different storylines at play here-the shotgun scout proving himself to his senior brother, the sergeant and extra brother weathering the plasma fire, and, of course, the death company marine and his duel with "Horus" lol
Also, using a solitary Black Company marine gave me Obvious Tactics vibes too (it was one of the comic strips in the first episode of Inferno! magazine.) Absolutely delightful stuff. I really love the narrative style of play you can get out of 2nd ed. Keep up the great work!
👍 I'd forgotten just how small games were back in Rogue Trader and 2nd Ed. They are much like the Skirmish games that I prefer these days. Tank Battalions and Artillery belong in Epic rather than 28mm games. These low model count games give the combatants room to manoeuvre and breath.
Thoroughly entertained, its a treat to see nicely painted vintage miniatures and great fun to watch a battle report transmission from the warp where its still 2nd edition, nice. I liked the names for Boss Killbags and his boyz, hallmark of a vintage batrep.. everyone has names. Super fun, thank you.
Love it! Gonna add Nob Killbagz exploits to my own Orkz camp fire talez. When da boyz iz talkin' 'bout da good ol' dayz between krumpin' they'll mention Killbagz and how he had a dam gud fight at dat fort fingy against da red tin can humies.
@@edpaintsminis I imagine Killbagz being like Norris in "The Thing". When no one is looking, Killbagz head unattached itself from his body, and skitters away to find a Pain Boy.
Excellent battle report as ever, really liked the story. I had no idea there was a campaign expansion for second Ed so I’m keen to see more. Great painted models by the way, you’ve really done the plastic orcs justice!
Ed, your content is absolutely incredible. The attention to detail and love of the hobby is evident in legitimately every second. Keep up the wonderful work!
Love the wild stuff that 2nd edition's rules could set up in games like that. That one flaming ork bouncing around like a pool ball. :D My favorite moment like that back when I was a kid was a friend's Viper blowing the turret off my leman russ and the turret scattering to land on the viper and taking it out. And the viper crashing into another unit for even more carnage.
For two videos now, after watching your Armageddon videos, I start looking at starting a period-authentic Steel Legion army. These are so well put together, mate! 🙂👍
Yeah it's a fun dynamic - Orks endlessly running at defensive lines is a little tried and tested! Hope to do it at a larger scale at some point. Thanks for the suggestion - keep 'em coming!
Love it man, the little retro intros make this so amazing. Really does feel like watching Saturday morning cartoons. Can't wait to see where you take this next
Find a 2nd Edition weapons codex! There are no vanilla D6 rolls that the current edition is. Every weapon has it's own personality and results. You wont be disappointed! In fact, look up the difference between a flamer and heavy flamer template in 2nd edition. Games Wokshop went from an entertaining game to a game based on how fast you can get the game over with.
Its amazing how much better oldhammer is for story telling. I feel every game I played of 2e , had a story that was worth telling the group , post game.
This is a great battle report! And everything from the models and the terrain to the ambient and the voices is top notch. Eager to see new battle reports from Armageddon!
I really like coming back to this one and your other battle reports. They are so fun! This one is my favorite because it's basically 2nd ed 40k kill team lol!
What a fight! Your scouts have done better than mine ever used to. If that shotgun scout didn't win his first combat, your flamer-brother would also be in trouble almost immediately I feel...
Strangely enough this video has convinced me to start a small Blood Angel's force, third company. Mostly composed of older minis, though not as old as these because finding them online is a bank account killer. Good stuff!
Great job again. Your quasi-battle reports are just wonderful. I do not think of these as 'battle reports'. They are stories telling a tale. I look forward to your first 40k novel. I hope its about something other than space marines.
Greetings and Salutations! I am thoroughly enjoying this series, the lovely models and terrain. Certainly looking forward to the next encounter. All the best, Billi.
There's been a few times where a scout has seemingly earned promotion, but I wonder if the brother marines will wonder if the scout with the heavy bolter might have better aim if made into a servitor..!
This is brilliant ❤. I love the mood, story, miniatures, editing and your project in general. It really brings me back to my own humble start at 2nd edition. Right now I am designing a campaign that is about to start (10th ed), and your missions are a great inspiration for that as well. Thanks for your awesome channel!
You really let 2nd edition shine in those narrative game reports. Excellent content and lovely paintjob. How about "Battle for the farm" and "Jadeberry Hill" from Rogue Trader, but with Blood Angels instead of Crimson Fists?
Some things that would be cool to see going forward: a mission with the Ultramarines, Orks unearthing a relic from the 1st invasion of Armageddon, Kommando raid on the vehicle pool, and Death Company kamikaze blitz on the Orkish command bunker to finally end the Seige of Terra.
Three excellent ideas... I love the artifact idea - maybe all units within 6" of it are automatically frenzied (have to charge if within range of an enemy unit.)
2nd edition works so well in a "kill team" environment. It's heavily overlooked but Necromunda of course was born of 2nd, as well as 1st run of kill team and it just freaking works. Also, I love this. I really do.
Nice work Ed. Your models and their pain jobs have inspired me to get out my 2nd edition Blood Angel Battle Force and repaint the models in the traditional retro 2nd Ed paint style. I do not think I would play 2nd Ed ever again because of the terrible combat rules but I will always remember those long lost battles of days gone by.
Would be quite cool if you did an army show case for each army ebfore the start! It's nice to know who's on each side! Here is a great base Space Marine list for a 2000 point battle in case you need it.... -1 Captain 96 -1 Librarian Codicier 97 -1 Techmarine 33 -10 Tactical Marines (2 Squads) 300 -10 Assault Marines with jump packs (2 squads) 350 -5 Terminators 315 -5 Scouts 100 -1 Predator 90 -1 Landspeeder 145 -1 Dreadnaught 115 Total 1541, leaving plenty of room for Weapons and Wargear!
Love the campaign, love the 2nd edition rules! Stuff like this, narrative driven, is very cool. Would love to see more home brewed content when the mission books peter out. Maybe you can adapt some 1st or 3rd edition missions to keep the older feel and tone, idk how well they translate to 2nd edition.
Thank you 😊! There are so many possible combinations just with the regular missions and strategy cards for flavour as it is. I would like to play through the whole Storm of Vengeance Campaign one day...

Some quality storytelling. Something as simple as Erasmus fighting "chaos marines" instead of orks is a great touch.
I caught that and realized how much I loved that too!
"Why, horus, WHY?!?!"
"Uh u wot, were da boyz"
"WHYYYYYYYYYY"
I didn't understand that part?😥😥😣😣

the dedication to narrating the Death Company Marine's combat from his own perspective was a lovely touch, another great Oldhammer Batrep
"But because it pleased me!" A delightfully trolling maneuver! I thoroughly approve!
Haha! Yes! Also tactically unsound, but I wanted to preserve the buddy cop movie that was Sergeant Petrenzo and Brother Leonartius!

What a game! That intro was sick, and that battle with the warboss was epic.
Excellent and unexpected battle report. I never lose interest in your videos. That death company marine was the highlight for me.
Thank you very much!
Brilliant, brings back my youth playing 2nd ed with my brother. Really enjoyed the narration and storytelling. Will be back for more. Thanks
Also, using a solitary Black Company marine gave me Obvious Tactics vibes too (it was one of the comic strips in the first episode of Inferno! magazine.) Absolutely delightful stuff. I really love the narrative style of play you can get out of 2nd ed. Keep up the great work!
Damn those early inferno inks of marines blew my mind. I'll have to dig them out now... Thanks so much for the comment and your support! 💪
Oh hell yeah I read that comic! Surprised there's not many references to those backpack thrusters in modern 40k these days
What I like about Orks is they have the decency to speak English, and they keep their language clean.
Man, 2nd edition really takes me back. The glory days of gaming for sure. Love these videos.
👍 I'd forgotten just how small games were back in Rogue Trader and 2nd Ed. They are much like the Skirmish games that I prefer these days. Tank Battalions and Artillery belong in Epic rather than 28mm games. These low model count games give the combatants room to manoeuvre and breath.
probably the best battle reports online, are coming from Minisodea at the moment!!
A 2nd edition W40k Rulebook should be inside the Voyager, as one of the greatest achievements of humanity.
Without a doubt my favorite warhammer content.
Minisodes keeps delivering. Another must watch video.
I've dreamed of this sort of narrative quality for battle reports for a long time. Great work, guys.
Super entertaining Battle-Report, as always. Keep up the good work!
This was fantastic!!! Excellent narrative and great to see a campaign like this given some attention :)
Absolutely loved this! This story building and character voices are part of what makes this so good.
These are the most engaging, well-produced battle reports I've ever seen.
I can't adequately convey in words the joy videos like this bring me! Absolute top job!

Storytelling and production are over the roof, wow! I am in love with the old-school like intros. Also, music is great!
Love these battle reports. You narrate and edit them well, and its fun to see how the game was played way back when. Keep it up!
This content is excellent and very entertaining! I love the old space marines.
Always a good day when a new Minisodes battle report video drops
Hooray! Another 2nd Edition battle report on Minisodes!
Super glad you used my suggestion of defensive orks! This was ace
Yeah it's a fun dynamic - Orks endlessly running at defensive lines is a little tried and tested! Hope to do it at a larger scale at some point. Thanks for the suggestion - keep 'em coming!
Love these videos. Not just for the story, but also for the overall quality of the video and the models themselves!
Love it man, the little retro intros make this so amazing. Really does feel like watching Saturday morning cartoons. Can't wait to see where you take this next
I’ve never seen 2nd edition played before, I gotta say this feels more entertaining then 10th edition. Also I love the models!

Keep it coming Ed! really enjoying this campaign!
Another brilliant report. I love the energy you put into every one of your videos.
Love the high quality content thank you
This is amazing keep up the good work!
I intend to! Thank you Blood Angels Scout. 😎
Its amazing how much better oldhammer is for story telling.

This is what kill team should be. Don't remember this from back in the day. Love these battle reports.

Cramming in my assignments for the end of year, and this video was perfect for my tea break, thanks for making such awesome retro content. 👍🏻
Cheers! Good luck in your studies :)
You've been killing it in the thumbnail game recently, the one for this video might well be the best I've seen on all of youtube
Yes! Thank you - I'm really enjoying doing them like this!

Great fun, love the character tidbitz and reactions.
I’d love to see more death company, the fluff you wrote for him was amazing
Thank you! I have four others, but they are currently chaplainless...
Those two marines absolutely WIPING the entire left side of the battle was awesome.
Loving this campaign so far, I only wish it was twice a week.
Your bat reps are best In class,always so fun to watch them and eagerly await a new one

Thanks Chris! That would be very cool...
Is that the scout from last battle? Get this man his black carapace now!
Some things that would be cool to see going forward: a mission with the Ultramarines, Orks unearthing a relic from the 1st invasion of Armageddon, Kommando raid on the vehicle pool, and Death Company kamikaze blitz on the Orkish command bunker to finally end the Seige of Terra.
Three excellent ideas... I love the artifact idea - maybe all units within 6" of it are automatically frenzied (have to charge if within range of an enemy unit.)
2nd edition works so well in a "kill team" environment. It's heavily overlooked but Necromunda of course was born of 2nd, as well as 1st run of kill team and it just freaking works. Also, I love this. I really do.
Agreed! It worked so well I'd like to do ita again in the future, but maybe introduce gantries, ladders etc like in 'munda!
this is so chill to watch
Nice work Ed. Your models and their pain jobs have inspired me to get out my 2nd edition Blood Angel Battle Force and repaint the models in the traditional retro 2nd Ed paint style. I do not think I would play 2nd Ed ever again because of the terrible combat rules but I will always remember those long lost battles of days gone by.
Would be quite cool if you did an army show case for each army ebfore the start! It's nice to know who's on each side!
Here is a great base Space Marine list for a 2000 point battle in case you need it....
-1 Captain 96
-1 Librarian Codicier 97
-1 Techmarine 33
-10 Tactical Marines (2 Squads) 300
-10 Assault Marines with jump packs (2 squads) 350
-5 Terminators 315
-5 Scouts 100
-1 Predator 90
-1 Landspeeder 145
-1 Dreadnaught 115
Total 1541, leaving plenty of room for Weapons and Wargear!
Love your bat reps, really enjoying this campaign.
I would LOVE to see a Chaos Marine battle report on this channel
