The best battle report i ever saw

THIS IS HOW IVE ALWAYS WANTED BATTLE REPORTS TO LOOK AND SOUND!!! Not some Esports stuff like most now. Really good stuff! Please keep it coming!

These battle reports can single handedly make age of darkness more popular than 40K. Loved it! keep it up.

I only watch 40k in 40min as battle reports go, because the rest of battle report tend to be a 3hr slog fest with only the armies as a theme, but this battle report encapsulates what it is to play the tabletop or read a book, It engages the right way, this is a masterclass

Love the effort placed in this. I know how much work it is to shoot and animate all this stuff! It's basically a lore video mixed with a battle report. Great work!

I adore the way this game is told! Genuinely one of the most engaging Battle Reports I've watched! I'm only halfway through but am simply enthralled!

There’s just something about beaky helmets that’s so aesthetically cool

I don't know what's more impressive, the battle report or that sick boxnaught.

Honestly listening to this sounds like a HH audiobook, I'm not one for battle reports but this really something else !! Can't wait to see more in the future

This is genuinely the most entertaining batrep ive ever seen, you've done such a great job at putting the storyline front and centre but keeping what's going on with the gameplay clear and understandable. Im going to watch all your videos after this.

Best 25:42 minutes of my day, you saved me, thanks

Hands down, probably the best battle report I’ve ever seen.

I've already lost count of how many times I've seen this video, I feel it's almost a movie that I never get tired of watching.

This level of quality is quite simply unreasonable. The most enjoyable piece of Heresy content I've ever witnessed, excellent work!

I think the bar for battle reports has just been raised substantially

Subbed. Perfect mix of lore and tabletop. Reads like a historical account, but you still get all the game-isms with the bonus of amazing visuals.

the edits were on point, I love the extra props you use to add to the story like the dead marines or broken drop pods.

Holy shit amazing! Can't wait to see more.

By far one of the best battle reports I've seen. I can't wait for the next part.

This is the coolest! I can't imagine how long all the shots and effects took! We really appreciate it! You're raising the bar.

I absolutely love the narrative flavor throughout this entire battle report. More of this please.

I love this kind of Battle Report more cinematic and narrative. Honestly the more classic and gaming oriented Battle Reports bore me in the long run, but I watched this one without getting bored for a moment, please continue your Battle Reports like this!

By the throne you folks put on a show. By far the most immersive and well shot battle report I’ve ever seen. The narration, the effects, the minis, all very very well done. Keep up the good work. This channel is going places.

I love seeing the culmination of all the recent painting videos!

This is incredible. Revolutionizing the battle report.

Can’t believe you combine so much good painting advice with such cinematic mastery on one channel! This is going to be a fun ride!!

This is just perfection. This is how I envisioned my games of 30k and Legions Imperialis to feel like. Superb job. Keep it coming.

This is so cool! I love when channels like this make a huge efford to make the narrative around their games as inmersive as possible

That was so cool! The production value was impeccable

Gosh this is beautiful. It encompasses the epicness of the HH just wonderfully. Just wow, this is so good!

I love how you do these battle reports, the way you narratively explain everything just makes me a lot more interested

Usually I'll have bat reps running in the background as I do other things. THIS, I never got the chance as I couldn't stop watching! Great work and looking forward to more.

One of the best Horus Heresy videos I've ever seen. Keep it up, and thank you!

By far the best horus Heresy Montage I have ever seen

This is one of the best battle reports I have yet seen. It feels like you’re watching the battle and the story but still holds enough of the actual game. It is perfect

The immersive background, narration and sheer production quality of this video, its hobby content, and channel as a whole is unbelievable. I'm not generally interested in 30 or 40k at all, but this - this is just awesome! Subscribed and excited for what comes next.

The most fun I've ever had watching a battle report. The cinematics, the shorter duration was great for keeping my attention and I really really hope you do more like this!

This is absolutely phenomenal. I hope this series blows up because it truly deserves to be seen by any Warhammer fans

One of the best battle reports period. Everything about this stands out. Great models, great game and supreme production value. Well done and looknig forward to more of this.

This is an absolutely stunning battle report! It definitely pushes forward the standard seen on RU-vid.

For such static pose miniatures, your narration brings them to life, I hope you continue this kind of battle report in the future. It's not boring and its actually fun and engaging. :)

I love the more cinematic and narrative style battle reports! I watch Playon but they very much focus on the “game” aspect while this really captures the feel of the Horus Heresy

So glad RU-vid recommended this battle report to me. Really enjoyed the cinematic style and definitely looking forward to more!

This is fantastic. The quality is better than anything else out there at the moment and its great to see the Narrative Missions being played. Can't wait for more!

I can not even imagine the amount of work this took to make! The best battle report I have ever watched! Great Job

This is the best battle report i have ever watched, a true cinematic masterpiece. Keep up the good work!!!

This is a perfect RU-vid Battle Report, narrative, every unit and character is named, atmospheric, immersive, visually inspirational. Amazing.

Wow. This is exceptionally high quality and super engaging!! This narrative, cinematic style of battle report is what we need to see!!

Incredible... you've shown the true potency of the batrep format. So many are 3 hour unedited streams, but it looks like the winds are changing!

Hands down the best bat rep I've watched!! It's a perfect mix of gameplay and narration, the visuals and voice over really add to it all, I especially love the tone of narration, I can imagine it as a mission debrief almost. Really can't wait for more of these!! Thank you for your content and dedication

THANK YOU! for doing this report about the narrative and the minis. Not having a talk show about yourselves for the first twnty minuetes with cameras recording players instead of the minis. GOD I HATE those kinds of reports

Exceptional, the effort and passion is not at all wasted on me. Genuinely some of the best community content I've seen for table top in a long time

I absolutely love the narrative style of this battle report. The models and narrations go hand in hand. Possibly add overhead shots with troops movement shown

This is amazing. Your attention to detail and hardwork is clearly shown in your editing. THANK YOU!

This is a genuine evolution on the concept of a battle report. Perfectly captures the narrative spirit of Heresy. Can't wait for more

I've watched this battle report several times. Never before in my life have I watched a battle report more than once! But this is art.

Like many have already said, this is the BEST battle report I have ever watched!

I need that music in my playlist RIGHT NOW! This was the most entertaining bat rep I have ever seen.

This is exactly how I imagine every match I play. I’m sharing this in all the GC I’m in!

Honestly, it's a great batrep! Please do more! Heresy needs this high quality narrative style bat rep!

Immaculate. Narrative play is always so, so much better in battle reports!

This is fantastic. I love the narrative driven animations and focus. This is the type of content that gets people interested in a game system!

This is a masterclass in battle reports mate. Fantastic.

It was amazing. The voice, the script, the miniatures, terrain, effects. Best battle report i've ever seen.

I usually find it hard to watch battle reports because they are too long, boring, or both, but this is just perfect. I love this unique content, keep making more 👍

I'm so fkn glad this video popped up on my FYP. Been looking for Horus Heresy battle reports in this style for a while.

impressive it looks like a professional episode we are immersed in an epic battle with a variety of models even other big budget youtubers can't achieve this result you really managed to make us feel the passion you put into it bravo hats off

Even my wife found this battle report cool! That's a big achievement! I love the "documentary" narrated style, the special FX and the short duration of the video. Really looking forward to the next bat reps!!

Unquestionably the best battle report i have ever seen. I was utterly captured in your storytelling. Godspeed you, my emperor.

A battle report that I did not skip a single second of this amazing battle report! Most enjoyable!!!

This is great! I love the "which they can't" with the musical stinger - Amazing touch!

AMAZING battle report. This is what most Heresy players like to envision when we play games. Cinematic, narrative driven games. And it’s why most 30k players balk at modern 40k where this simply isn’t present anymore. This took me back to reading an old white dwarf battle report from 3rd/4th edition 40k. Amazing work.

That! Was amazing! So much better than watching regular battle reports

Honestly the coolest battle report ive seen to date, The story telling being paramount was top notch, models battle field. Just absolutely spot on my dude.

Single most entertaining and best representation of the game!!!! Keep it up this is how it should be done!!

This was better than all the other batreps On youtube. I felt like I was watching a tv show, very narrative, loved the story, brought it to life. I appreciate what you do, thank you for this, so entertaining to watch!

This was epic! I’m glad they aren’t 60+ min videos. Makes it much easier to watch.

This is the gold standard by which all other Battle Reports must be measured. Glorious. The Emperor Protect you brother

The narrative presentation of this battle report is the best I’ve ever seen! I can’t wait to see more battle reports in this style!

Do more of these please, this was fantastic. I normally get really bored watching traditional battle reports, always love to see them as more of a narrative overview. Instant sub

Incredible, Kudos one of the best Battle reports I have seen.🎉

This is a fantastic battle report, it felt more like story telling than gameplay and I love it! Heresy is all about the lore and this really represents it unlike any others have done.

This is one of the most EPIC battle reports ever made ! Final a batrep that makes the game look like what i see in my head when i think about gaming..! Lol..The music , effects,narration, and camera work is near movie quality. Can't wait to see more. Keep up the Fantastic work. Great job. This is how you draw in new players.

Hands down and without a shadow of a doubt the best battle report ever filmed. I remember Broadshword wargaming and zorpazorp did also a good narrative series back when 2.0 launched. But this is off the charts. Something I always knew in rhe bottom of my heart a battle report should look, feel and aound like. But never dared to expect this from the internet. You guys showcased what the hobby is all about and created such an atmosphere that I will be sharind this all around. Congrats and huge thanks.

I don't usually comment on RU-vid videos but holy shit man, I watched your entire channel in an afternoon and i absolutely love what you got going on here! hands down the best stuff I've seen in a wile. then you drop this masterpiece on us today? i was barely able to contain my "paint brush" because I'm a slut for narrative battel reports. just banger after banger, keep up the good work!

Nice battle report and nice painting I hope tere qill be more of this on the future

This is great. Good length as well; I don’t have to give up half an afternoon to watch a battle report!

The best Warhammer battle report ive seen so far. I need MORE!

As much as You are providing excellent painting tutorials and army showcases, I think Your strongest thing is storytelling. This battrep is just beyond how engaging Warhammer game can be, every detail makes it feel so real and keeps me believe in those characters. Any advice I can give, is to keep it that way and only add more awesome elements, its already magnificent!

This is the best battle report ever. Thank you for all the effort and love you pour into this channel, I am sure the 30K community really appreciate it.

Wow the production value of this battle report is amazing truly setting a new standard

Takes battle reports to a new level. Clearly this was a lot of work, but it’s been worth it. What a fabulous result.

The best battle report i have ever seen. Ive been wacthing bat raps for years. A job well done.

Amazing work man. Keep it up, that was one of the Best battlereports i have ever seen. And the narrative Focus and good use of Effects is something rarely seen. Love it and eagerly await more!

I haven't even finished watching this yet and I must say, you've really raised the bar with this batrep. Keep up the good work.

This was some of the most fun I've had watching a battle report in a very long time. I can't wait for more! Bravo!

Amazing!! So entertaining and well executed! A joy to watch! This is exactly how a game of Horus Heresy feels!

PLEASE MORE! these battle reports are soo interesting, I love it!

I have no words!! RAD is not even close. Crushed it, mate
