**NEW BATTLETOMES!** Slaves to Darkness vs Ogor Mawtribes | Age of Sigmar Battle Report 

Great models means a great viewing experience!

@@thepastrychef8014 Yet you're always giving Fletcher a hard time!

This. I usually watch Season of War batreps, and they're great, but I don't get why almost all of their armies look like bland monocolour blobs, esp. when they're using painting studios

Do we know who painted them? Like an IG for the artist?

That and new things with (somewhat) less complications

Manly (and womanly I guess judging by some of those Chaos Warriors) hand to combat is best anyways.

Some of the lists you can get together with some of the factions are all shooting and magic. It's got a huge variety. What I like most about the game is the model casts are all next tier awesome. Even the battle line stuff.

It is, you should try it. Age of Sigmar is - at least at the moment - a better game than 40k, with simpler and more streamlined rules, yet more tactical depth somehow

Yeah, but you very quickly see games going the same way. They brought it up in this very batrep where "wow, this became another battle for the center... but I'm sure others won't be like that." I could only respond, "Yeah, they will be."

@@bastiandeininger6654 I think they're both very mediocre games, to the point where it's hard to call one better than the other. They each do some things very incredibly wrong, while having a few good points that the other can point to and say, "SEE?! I'm better!!!" AoS has army-ADHD; flat-to-wound rolls; a melee focus that leaves shooting armies as kings in mission, terrain, and army design; "cookie-cutter" army design where you have next to no control in list-building unless it's a pre-approved idea; "superhero and his friends" army philosophy; *over*-simplified rules; and the AWFUL idea that is the ability to get double-turns. I'm not sure what you mean by "more tactical depth," because 40k is pretty on-par with AoS on that department. It's just not as glaringly obvious as AoS, because 40k tends to be more fatal without good terrain. 40k isn't without its own flaws, though. It has plenty of sacred cows holding it back, including Space Marine fetishism (Space Marines having to feel "super" despite being *a majority of the playerbase* ); falling into the same traps as AoS with the "superhero and his friends" army philosophy; older designs from prior editions informing current trends; old designs failing to keep up with power creep in *model design* (there's only so much power you can strap onto an existing Leman Russ's guns, which is why the new Dorn has 5 extra guns stapled to it by comparison); and an unwillingness to let anyone die. And neither has alternating activations. **TL;DR** - Both games suck so much that comparing them mechanically is like saying you prefer the smell of spoiled eggs over spoiled milk. Enjoy the game for the cool models and move on from trying to prove yours is worthwhile.

@@ajaxtaur yea, okay. I do enjoy AoS though, despite your long, angry post. You don't have to, though.

@@bastiandeininger6654 Nah man, I *do* enjoy AoS. I also enjoy 40k. I also just recognize both aren't great, lol. And sorry, I usually go on ADHD-fueled rants.

Cheers!

😅

👻

Loads to come!

Absolutely!

It looks so cool!

Fletch did an awesome job

Is it Ogors? I hope its Ogors

@The Pastry Chef Yes, it is Ogors 😁

Cheers!

We'll see what takes its place 😅

Glad you enjoyed!

The mysteries of the Warp

Glad you're enjoying!

Cheers!

@@thepastrychef8014 you are welcome. I don't know how your minds don't explode with all these rules for all these armies

It's true he's a good support piece. A costly one mind you.

Thanks for the support!

@@chaoslordbeard I also hope your shoulder injury heals up fast, or if it does turn out to be a chaos gift that you grow a nice claw or tentacle

Thanks for the tips Alex. As we gain more experience in Sigmar and play some more competitive games, we will adopt those rules in the comp games :)

"competitive". Always cracks me up reading somebody to describe themselves playing competitive on game that can't be played competitively :D You have better luck playing SLEEPING competitively than GW games...You can call a pig pure bred stallion but it's still just a pig. Similary GW games just flat out are impossible to play competitively

There are Age of Sigmar tournaments all over the world and they’re a lot of fun. Competitive Age of Sigmar is in excellent shape right now.

@@alexvassilopoulos9 just because you call something doesnt make it tournament. I can call pig a pure bred stallion. You willing to pay pure bred stallion price for one? Competive aos　is marketing term from gw to fool money from try hard players who chase what gw marketing department wants you to buy for your "competive" tournament, I have nice island for you to sell. You sound just the kind of person to buy it.

Yeah, thats how we played it in round 1, I meant more for the subsequent turns, but I saw it was covered in the FAQ 😅

In this scenario you can CONTROL objectives. You just can't SCORE from them. Important difference actually. For one it matters with battle tactics. For second if you control objective turn 1 even if you can't score from it you can leave it turn 2 and you still will score from it when it is activated.

Yeah it seems a bit misguided

Spikey exterior, gotta peel 'em

Maybe

Ps riders od the beast (the doors) killed me. Nice!!

Except the rule says "models wholly in range". Moot anyways, as we played the card version, which we're gonna presume is the correct way

I like the sound of that! 🕷

I believe night haunt can do the exact same thing with the scripture mortis, who is literally a marker for death

Poor Gitz

Correct, in the FAQ which came out after we filmed this game 🙂

Still a straight line

🤫

Literally the only models we have for that force at the moment. However, we do have the Ogor infantry in the paint queue to add to them :)

@@tabletoptactics I figured as much! I've been waiting ages for the more stubby tubby boys to be viable again. Currently workshopping my own Meatfist army.

Might be

Glad to hear it!

I'm guessing the Icon of Rust doesn't affect units in 12" and only who's fighting the bearer

Thanks for watching 🎉

Not enough it seems

Presumably

@@thepastrychef8014 enjoying the game thus far, your both being very careful. Lovely armies too!

💪
