The start collecting boxes weren't a thing like 1 month after he announced it i think. It might have been after the first game but I know it was early in the lifespan of the deathmatch.
I just loved when the one unit and/or character did that one special thing against that other unit and/or character. Classic midwinter minis battle report shenanigans!
Every single time I see the slaanesh mounts all I can think about is that small comic with "To mount them you first need to let them mount you" and I'm reminded of how horrid slaanesh is. Also love the series, I've been waiting for a new episode.
With the Combat Patrol boxes in 10th alledgedly having the same points value across the board for a small game will you likely do a similar series with them? Would love to see that!
Yeah I can't wait till they put more guardsmen in the boxes or just give custuds like 3 models for their box they've had a cheap and elite army for too long
The bright paintjobs on these work so well for a battle report. It makes the armies really easy to tell apart and fun to watch. Nice change from the horus heresy dark marines vs more dark marines battle reports I've been watching lately!
I imagine it's a massive amount of work to put these together, but it would be awesome to see this series wrapped up this year and then progress to Combat Patrol with its 10th Ed rules for another series going forward on a new table, but keeping this arena as a tie breaker Pokemon stadium for Warlords to duke it out, one on one. Anyway, another great Deathmatch. Have really enjoyed these over my hobby journey for the last few years.
This makes it a lot easier to understand the game as one of the issues with 9th edition is that it is very difficult to understand if you're new to the game. Hats off to Guy!
I love these start collecting battle reports! They’re quick, entertaining and they’re teaching me how to play 40K. I’d love to see one big final battle at the end, where every start collecting box goes head to head until everyone is dead.
I was waiting because I just wanted to see the guard in action, even if I felt it’d be a pretty stacked game. It was pretty awesome, the ending was like the ultimate example of constant twists and turns
I don't play and I only rarely paint anymore, but this was a great battle report. Good narration, fun players, fantastic looking battleground, thematic minis... all of these added a lot. The smaller game size made it a lot easier to understand what was happening (for someone like me that doesn't know the rules specifics) turn to turn. Great work!
🎉 finally, these battles are the only thing I watch on the channel, I'm not even really interested in Warhammer but these battles are really entertaining made/presented.
Honestly, still I'm the process of painting my first 40k squad of ork boys. This kinda stuff makes me so excited to play, thanks for the great easy to understand content as always
wow. it looked great in the painting video but that tank looks amaing! In my opinion those guard models are the best thing you've painted on the channel so far
these battle reports are the only ones I can find on youtube that I like watching. The editing is great, everything is explained really well so I know what every dice roll means, and the view of the map is the best ive ever seen. I'd love if you made more of these, they're the only videos I really like watching on the channel.
If that was your first game, would you play again? $400 in, for rulebooks, paints, rules, codices, and wow - what a swingy game, where victory is based on secret stratagems you’ve never seen.
i did not expect that to end so close (maybe not vp wise but just overall), great fun, always cool to see a full experience with all painted minis and board and fitting dice - rarely get those myself
Hi Guy! Thank you for all your videos ❤ You inspired me to take my first steps in painting minis, and one year later i'm doing commissions and my collection barely fits in the cabinet anymore! Cheers and much love
That precision "FUCK!" at that warp storm just proves that a single swear in an otherwise swear free narration makes it so much funnier even if it's bleeped.
This channel is how i first got into mini painting and the army that fascinatede the most was the Tau, which is cool that we'll finally get to see. i would love to see some AoS paint jobs tho, there are some really cool units and a more grimdark grungie aesthetic feels underrepresented in the community. seeing guy tackle the metallic bombshells that are the stormcast eternals would be interesting. or even take on another warhammer quest box as cursed city has some ridiculously great models.
Fantastic battle report. Thank you for having good pacing and editing which made it flow quick. Did not expect the deep strike Terminators setting everything on fire. 🤔🤫🤔
Will future battle reports use 10th edition? And also, it's always satisfying seeing the models on a board! EDIT: Should have finished the video, keen to see the transition to 10th edition.
These videos are awesome and have inspired me to get into this game and its the most fun iv had in forever, me and my friend meet up once about every week or 2 and we have a absolute blast, so thank you and amazing videos! Your doing an amazing job!!
I appreciate the music that's been made for each faction in these reports. That, and I'm really looking forward to seeing who'll be the championship team in the end.
Really glad to see these matchups come back, and here's hoping that we will see even more matches soon! I think GW should seriously consider gifting you the entire set of upcoming combat patrols for an upcoming season because CLEARLY they watch your channel the way the rest of us do, which is primarily for painting tutorials and wanting to see the warlord titan project slowly come together, and other miscellaneous MWM shenanigans, except they absolutely, definitely, 1000% have never watched ANY of your start collecting tournament matches, and the combat patrols that are coming out are a totally original creation of theirs lol. Thank you for the quality content as always, Guy! Cheers! P.S. any predictions on which armies might make it to the final or at least the final 4? Maybe consider a little bonus video or something once this first round ends and put up your predictions for what armies might come out on top and then we can see how it all pans out as the tournament develops.
Hey Guy! I love this series and you actually got me into Warhammer. I am an Admech player so i'd like to impart my wisdom of how i paint Mars Admech although you already have an idea. I have tested quite a few different ways of painting them but my favorite was: For Troops/HQ's: 1. Prime with chaos black then a zenithal highlight with corax white (aerosol not paint, this will be important later). 2. base with either the martian ironearth with a drybrush of a bone/white color and some little tufts of mordian corpsegrass or similar. The rims will also be painted with steel legion drab, of course. 3. For the coats of the skitarii and tech priests I use the army painter speedpaint blood red (the original ones that reactivate) which is a really nice red. 4. Then for all of the metal areas (backpacks, legs, etc etc) i use leadbelcher or a darkened down silver with a wash of nuln oil and fixing of any mistakes with the previous metal, and a highlight with stormhost silver and a final drybrush of ryza rust on top of it all with maybe a dash of typhus corrosion underneath (really good rust effect). 5. For the lenses I just use thousand suns blue and temple guard blue on top with a bit of white and for the special guns/weapons i will use the same as with the lens or light green / hive dweller purple speedpaint. And for the Vehicles: 1. Same zenithal highlight and basing 2. Coat with mephiston red, only put agrax earthshade in recesses, edge highlight with evil suns scarlet. 3. Metals will just be darker metal paints like leadbelcher with a wash of agrax earthshade all over then recoat only edges/raised areas with the metal paint and then an edge highlight of stormhost silver 4. beige/tan areas will be done with zandri dust, i found not any need to highlight or shade even but if you want to just use nuln oil around corners of panels and crosshatching of a lighter color on panels to simulate wear and tear. I will also accept any c&c in replies:
