Craftworlds vs Dark Angels 2000pts | Warhammer 40,000 League Report

welcome to tabletop tactics coming up in today's battle i think it's pretty good so there we go yeah beautiful cheeky wow nice velvety rolling area very nice a little tea party [Music] [Music] folks welcome back to tabletop tactics with myself florence the spider against my opponent chaos lord beard today another competitive match up for your viewing pleasure in our league report series where we are running well pretty ultra competitive lists where the models allow of course against each other in a smash face in our ongoing league throughout the year how exciting so today i am running the craft world oh how pleasant food yes yes right green in the pleasant lands and mr beard what are you running today the raven wing raven wing yes i've done away with my first archangels list and i've followed the true path and i'm going pure raven wing so you're back in black as ac dc would uh like to sing about indeed very exciting well we'll tell you a little bit about those lists in just a moment but if you love what we do here make sure you give this video a like and subscribe to us here on youtube because guess what it's free to do so and it helps us out massively so let's get on with those lists and then the death well well well welcome back to the eldari craft worlds the authority ghosts return this is their debut here in the league report series and this is my hot take on competitive eldari it's another book which is currently struggling given uh the power the ridiculous power of a lot of the ninth edition codices but we do have some tricks so this is my take on it i'd love to hear your your guys thoughts i'll evolve the list as i learn to play with it so we have two patrols yeah no badalian i'm sorry about that uh i feel that the oldari troops currently is something where they sort of suffer a little bit so i want to take some other goodies instead whilst maximizing is maximizing my cp so two patrols the first patrol is headed up by aeon sewell he is an altar on a skyrunner with a laser lance and i've given him the phoenix gem just so hopefully he can get back up if he dies and he's got the water traits and ion distant events so i can shut down potential overwatch which is useful in this style army so he's the warlord we then have a warlock i'm going to be going dipping into some of the powers from phoenix rising as well i'll go through that as we play the game then in the troops selection we have a unit of dire avengers the x-arc just has dual shuriken catapults because it's really cool then we go to the elites and one of my favorite units at the moment is a unit of wraith blades they've got the axes and the shields really resilient really good at sitting on objectives can hit like a ton of bricks on the charge as well um all rounds are very powerful can also be buffed with various psychic powers then i go to the fast attack and i have a unit of seven shining spears i couldn't afford nine it would be nice to have a max blob if you like but uh can't afford it and in this list i'm kind of spreading my eggs across several baskets i'm trying to uh it's a bit of a multiple small unit style list um but everything hits pretty hard so these seven shining spears are led by the exact i've got the withdrawal excerpt power i think it's called basically means that they can fall back and still shoot and charge um and seven tend to be enough to kill what i want on the charge anyway with their laser lances because they're just really really good excellent unit if you are trying to use competitive valdari one of the best in the book currently then what i have in heavy support is a falcon grab tank again i think for their points these things are really good obviously things like dark glances tear this tear vehicles apart currently but um it's still a cheap transport and also i need a platform to bring heavier guns so that i can also engage enemy vehicles like if i was to come up against drakari for example i will definitely want things like pulse lasers and bright lances so that's what this falcon has a single bright lance a single pulse laser comes with that by default and the twin shuriken catapults i will often start my dire avengers in there just to help to protect my minimal troops then finally we have in this patrol detachment a wave serpent this has a twin bright lance and a twin shuriken catapult these these things are still really good the ability to potentially pop out mortal wounds the ability to reduce damage by one if i haven't popped that shield off uh super fast transport will deliver my wraith blades to where i need them to be very very quickly that's the first patrol we go to the second patrol and guess what it's a mirror it's identical i've got all of those units except i swap out my aorta and on sure for the farseer isha in raya also a skyrunner so um she can then have my doom and executioner and be a real like pivotal key my queen if you like on my chessboard of my eldari force and it actually brings the list to two thousand points on the nose so two farsies uh sorry two warlocks one farseer one ortark two units of avengers two serpents two falcons two units of spears and two units of wraith blades it's a really cool list kind of a dual list if you like let's see what it does i've not used it before 2000 points on the nose but what will they do against a brand new codex in the dark angels let's see what mr beard is bringing okay let's go through the raven wing so we have an outright detachment and a vanguard attachment today starting off with the outrider we have my captain on bike he will be my warlord for today he has a power fist aka a massive power sword ignore the model um and i've also given him rights of war as his warlord trait and you'll see why very shortly um in terms of the fast attack choices for the aero idol attachment we then have a unit of land speeder typhoons they have multi melters and the rocket so they are really good effective very quick anti-tank option here uh moving on from there we then have three units of land speed of engines so this is a fun favorite of mine i've given them the heavy bolters and obviously the plasma storm battery comes as standard really excellent weapon for dealing with any of those really high toughness and high wound units uh be interested to see how it goes against the aldari but there are some key units need to destroy quickly and that should allow me to do so we then have a dark shroud um there's a bit of a question about whether these are valid at the moment in in the new book in ninth edition i feel like they're good because if you don't get term one having minus one to hit on all of your units generally if you deploy correctly is good and that has a heavy bolter now in terms of the vanguard attachment we have a talon master here i have given it oh this is gays because you do hitting on twos is really good and if you position correctly you can sometimes soak up a charge and he can just shred through everything um we then move on to my elite choices we have three units of four black knights i have given them all corvus hammers and i will most likely be running these with my captain because he will then make them obsec so where i'm finding the bikes aren't really doing the business for me i'm hoping this accommodation will work in terms of the primary and their combat ability so on and so forth and the plasma is quite nice too and then finally we then have two storm speeder hammer strikes so a couple more choices here for some good anti-armor another really fast vehicle and it is probably the best option with the storm speeders in terms of being able to deliver some death to those high toughness units nice and quickly it's 2000 points on the nose it's very quick to an extent it is uh pretty resilient as well if i manage to go first i will be advancing everything and will be getting my five and bundle save if i don't then i will be casting everything up and have a minus one to hit so theoretically stuff should last long enough for me to get out there get on those objectives and destroy everything in my path we'll have to see if it works we'll be back in just a moment for the mission [Music] today's mission is priority target a strike force mission from the warhammer 40 000 grand tournament mission pack five predetermined objective markers are placed onto the battlefield the players then reposition four of these objective markers and secretly note one of them as a priority objective as per the mission guidelines the primary objective is take and hold a progressive mission where players score five victory points for each of the following conditions they achieve at the end of each of their command phases holding one or more objectives holding two or more objectives and holding more objectives than their opponent these are cumulative and cannot be scored in the first battle round each player also chooses three secondary objectives that can score up to 15 points each so welcome everyone to the league the armies are deployed and we are ready to kick things off over here the raven wing have deployed precariously recklessly some would say very far away from everything as far as i possibly could because the eldari over here are very quick moving and they have some sneaky shenanigans up their sleeves they do they do indeed as if they don't fall over on these river jet black bases which are not fit for purpose that's how i want my money back they are 10 w buys remorse we demand a refund you just tap it and it once hits another one he knocks his friend over then you can't pick him up you put him back on his jet bike he then falls off of another jet bike he then hits this jet bike over here that falls over the whole thing is a disaster let's all calm down for a second i'm very we need to keep a cool head because this is a league report and we must do the tactics and win the games yes we are playing priority target we have already moved our objectives which you would have seen on the top down uh but just as a point of reference uh nope this is my priority objective over here and for the key is this one over here amongst the mosh pit of after we've moved we'll put a little counter with our colored dice next to it so you shall know that it is the priority target indeed indeed indeed in date let's get things kicked off shall we okay do you want to write this who goes first you're in a business mood yeah the beard would you like me to roll first you go ahead what you roll you are my guest i bought a two a two fantastic lovely i roll mr beard a two b reroll it is a dead clash of wills a battle of titans it is a four a four hundred percent increase it's 100 it's a five i've bested you yeah feel free to concede now i can see you quaking in your boots yes i'm a very nervous person yes that's what um everyone has never said to me yes well we'll have to see if those nerves will get the better of you we'll be back in just a moment i'm very pleased to be moving these models because if i don't do it in a second everything's going to fall over here we go the speed of the raven wing as they come in hard on the left and right flanks we have speeders and bikes all the way over here with these huge plasma batteries supporting the bikes there and the uh talon master as well as the captain in the center there headed up the spear tip with a hammer strike speeder to the four very nice over here we have another vengeance we have the dark shroud we have a squadron of first-born speeders see if i can have a little look at those well i can see the hammer strike but out of focus there you can see the firstborn speeders and that's a rather nice shot if i don't say so myself so everything has moved pretty much at the maximum i believe has it have they everything is advanced as far as it can that makes it uh very simple um so everything therefore has a minus one to hit however all of their heavy weapons become assault weapons because that's a cool special rule for the raven wing so not quite so um everything has a four up and vulnerable save yep the only minus one to hit is anything in range of the dark shroud so these are minus one to hit everything over there no but i mean you can fire your weapons oh sorry forgive me yes all my heavy weapons i can do um none of the bikes are in range with their plasma talents um that was a bit of a stretch um but i've done it in a way so when they do inevitably get charged in the next turn you're gonna have to figure out what to charge sure um but everything else has something in range so i'm hoping for a good shooting phase to kill some stuff okay so objective wise he is holding this objective here and uh he's got speeders uh the vengeance it seems they're in range of that objective also over there which is his priority objective central jet objective is currently unmanned as is the objective over here in my deployment area or my half of the board and then my priority objective is of course tucked in where the shining spears are so uh there will be a shooting phase no psychic for the raven wing they have not bought any of the inner circle with them today although actually i think the raven wing are all in a circle anyway aren't they well the characters are kind of and would you consider yourself a bit of a character mr beard oh yes excellent alright let's see uh how accurate your uh firepower is sir it's shooting in just a moment we start with the firstborn typhoons all the way over there on the left flank putting all three speeders into this wave serpent here on the left flank of my force uh he has advanced um so he's doing a minus one to hit and uh his heavy weapons can act as assault weapons uh because ravenwing exactly uh so all three of them or whole evening one multimeter is out of range yeah this one back here couldn't quite get into range um so mighty melter won't be shooting but we've got two multimelters and three rounds of rockets good to me of which we will start first of all good luck mr beard thank you very much rounds of rockets oh i like i'm liking this this new experience of this velvety it's very nice it's velvety rolling area very nicely the trough is plenty plus the trough of plenty primarily and he still manages to roll off the board so there's three wounds though okay there's three wounds as a minus four it's a minus minus three sorry it's minus five it's at minus four it's what i say it is it's minus elite minus three because we're devastated yes okay this this makes more sense so i save one and i fail two okay the 2d6 damage 2d6 uh we have a one and a four okay i'm going to send a command point on this one early doors opens with a command point it becomes a one and four become a three yep so that is four wounds more damage done on the serpent in total sir the multimeter multi-melter i hate your kids that's all that is nasty okay it's a wound however i wound you all four times okay well i do not get a safe because minus four the damage uh that is uh four four which is eight uh eleven no eight nine ten eleven yeah twelve twelve okay so he is destroyed there is no doubt about that lovely jubbly let me roll to see what happens uh we've got a five so nothing happens to him i.e he does not explode let me roll to see folks inside the folks the big scary folks uh all are okay except one so i will remove him and we'll be back it's now time for the hammer strike hammer time might say into the emerged wraiths yes from the flaming remnants of that white serpent i destroyed that wave serpent you did yeah what that i killed it good good would you like to concede no no not yet that's that's more uh more mr b bone style yeah um you can see it's time uh we are gonna do the hammer strike okay i'm gonna have to go into these rafes because they're a serious problem yeah huge threat i'd like to get rid of the falcon sure but the immediate threat is this yeah so well melter's not in range of the falcon either just in case people are wondering so that's also a factor in this decision indeed okay speaking of which we're going to start with the melted destroyer so it's three shots into your race in through the race heading off cause i hit you once uh be winning on threes that's a fail fair enough fantastic we'll move on now to the uh the crackstorm grenade launcher the grenade launcher of crackstorms yes uh i think once uh i do no it's not a strength six because their toughness sticks right yes correct sorry crack storm it's not strength hate no cracks almost drink six hammer strike missile launcher is strength bait oh okay i understand yes uh i miss you both times okay so mr hammer strike did not do hammer time but his firstborn cousins uh did show him how it should be done yeah so that is something at least it's now time for vengeance vengeance will be had on the wraiths also firing here let's do it let's um i am going to overcharge okay because they are three runes of pop yeah if i overcharge then it's damage three this makes a lot of sense that makes sense well like you know i thought about it and i was like that makes sense yeah there's two d3 shots with the plasma stone battery plasma storm battery that's very nice oh very nice six shots okay so now is it on once you take a mortal wound is that how this works yes it is okay well that's unfortunate take your team water wounds but i have it you three times lovely strength nine yep so threes two weeks lovely minus five minus what well i save with my force shields mr beard that's nice i saved with my four shields unfortunate uh would you have your boaters once we're here uh i hit you three times three times i wound you one time one time one time no problem mr beard let's see can i make a save i can okay um so the last thing whilst we're over here before we move on we're gonna do my dark shroud is gonna fire its assault cannon into them as well i've hit you three times yes my wings on fours okay all right so those wraiths just uh they've got their shields up they're probably in the shield formation and they just ominously march forward silently mad are you terrified mr beard terrified let me see your face when it's terrified mr beard wow it's now hammer strike time over here on the right flank firing at the falcon here the tips of its falcon wings can be seen just uh through uh over or past rather that little um hill there so here we go what are we firing with first all right we'll start with the melted destroyer first it is in melted range okay so any of you on fours feet twice lovely uh wounding on threes uh it is a wound no save for me no safe so it's d6 plus two e6 it's five six seven wait seven damage very nice uh next up we're gonna do the crack storm grenade launcher the grenade launcher of crack storms i miss you both times uh and then we're going to do the hammerstrike missile launcher i hate you twice i wish you on threes is one won't okay one wound and uh what's the ap at minus two but minus three because we're in devastated doctor okay yeah and the damage uh the damage i think is it's just flat three okay cool so you've done 10 wounds in total lovely i will mark that up now it's now time for the talon mast to open up he's out of range with any targets with those assault cannons being 24 but he is in range with the heavy bolters he's going to be firing also at this falcon here we go arbiter's gaze don't fail me now that is cocked i hate you all the times i wound you on five and sixes okay four wounds and minus two okay cheeky one four wins uh i make two saves i failed two saves that would be damage four would destroy me uh what i will do though is use a cp to re-roll one because why not and that makes it a safe how annoying get alive on two wounds we're now over to this vengeance now a couple of things i've forgotten a very important thing i forgot to mention we did deduct two damage from this falcon earlier because when beard said he was in melter range and added two to his damage what he meant to say is he's in multi-melter range but not melter range so i deducted two from the damage because he's actually about 13 and a half yeah uh but nonetheless that's why we're still alive on two wins here uh nonetheless we have vengeance uh the vengeance being used and we are using weapons of the dark age to increase its damage to four stratagem bringing you down to seven cp and you're opening up with the heavy bolter on the falcon that's damaged and the plasma battery against the serpent indeed okay we'll start off with the heavy bolter the heavy bolter i hit you three times probably i wound you one time just the one time understand all i need two weeks left one time destroyed falcon does it doesn't matter if it blows actually uh although i'll measure that in a moment uh it might clip the wave serpent having said that looking at it now and one dire avenger is killed okay let me measure it up and come back to you in fact what i'll do is i'll roll for a serpent now just in case it is it will take two wounds if it's in range and now the plasma battery against the serpent it was within range so i've marked that down to 11 wounds dire avengers have gotten out behind the hill here okay plasma storm battery let's mistake oh two shots no hits that's so annoying when you use weapons of the dark age um never mind that's fine so um typically did damage the wave serpent with the explosion from the falcon though so i mean you could look at it that way swings around about right in which case we will do um only one thing left to fire yeah let me have a quick think of what i'm gonna do with it okay we now have the second vengeance opening up on the dire avengers why you may ask because they're worth two points with uh what's the secondary gold uh death on the win best on the witch okay um so for each unit you kill uh a unit if one of my units moves 12 inches or more and destroys a unit they're worth two points i'm not likely to kill that wave serpent because it's reducing damage by one damage enough with the other one but i'm pretty sure i can kill his guardian so let's do that so have you bought it first of all twice i wound you twice minus two and two uh i save one my fair ones one is slain uh the plasma storm battery it is three shots uh i hit you once uh and this minus five so cool so you kill one so two of the dire avengers are slain they're they're still alive but uh there we go um is that your shooting done yes isn't it none of the bikes are in range um no that is yeah that's that okay so look very very good starts as that killed effectively a wraith guard even though he blew up in the explo in the uh wave serpent he's destroyed the waves up and destroyed a falcon which is half of my um offensive firepower in many respects uh having said that um i do have lots of speeds and i will be able to engage with you in my turn that is very true i'm gonna roll for a morale because i think that might be a thing i'm assuming that's gonna be if you actually only kill two well there's one three dead in total three is dead in total five six seven eight i have a feeling i'm leadership eight which actually means that passes um i will double check that and uh remove any that we need to if i have to in a moment so that is the end of the turn you did score four points for that speed oh no you didn't because you didn't kill the units you scored two points for your speed of the raven secondary uh i've scored four points because i've killed uh wave serpent and your falcon cool of course you get the two tanks there so four points any other primary or secondary no the other ones i've taken are aboard the witch and assassinate okay well so these killers later on yeah okay well let's see what we do it's my turn coming up in a moment turn one for the eldari is underway the command phase was simple just one command point gained yes putting on 10 that's it incredible yep strategy and then we move on to the movement phase so down this way we can see this falcon has moved over onto this objective at the back over here which will be nice for the primary mission we have the um wraiths moving forward unfortunately not to be able to kill any of these with the firepower so four of them are marching forward they did advance they did a vote and they did get a six as well that's very nice but they can't advance and charge so they're not a threat this time okay uh moving on we then have a unit of the shining spears over here they are nice and close to all of the units over here so i'm sure some nice shooting and cheeky charge will be going off in this turn um and they are in support of and shul himself in the middle we can see that the rest of the characters are assembled in the middle here behind the cover of the wave serpents they are on the middle objective and they are in a position to do some smitake some psychic mastery in the psychic phase then over this way we can see that this unit of shining spears have come from behind the building over there and are making their way towards the uh ravenwing lines and i'm sure there are ways and means to move there much further than they have already gotten funny you should say that beard isn't it funny you're not wrong about that anything else you'd like to add at this time uh just that the the falcon before it moved off got the dire avengers out i used the objective and actually remember the two little fellas i had here yes they actually advanced and they also got a six coincidentally which uh whacked them up behind there so i've got all of their avengers just hanging out a little tea party yes you know where they speak about avenging things of course the good old days yeah the good old days tremendous well that is that the movement phase is complete we'll return in the psychic phase the psychic phase is kicking off everyone and this warlock is casting quicken onto his shining spear friends over here his super duper friends it's true not before i spend a command point mr beard okay on seer council of course to give me plus one to cast one of those classic strats from an old book it's an old faithful excuse me you can't not take it i rolled a six and a two plus one because of c a council yes that makes eight and i only needed the seven plus makes nine doesn't it plus one yeah oh sorry it makes nine including my plus one it's mathematics well they are quickened would you like to move them now well now i'm gonna move them again actually okay we're gonna move this unit and be back for the rest of the psychic phase next psycha is the second warlock in the middle over here and he is going to cast jinx onto this front unit of black knights you can see the shining spears have moved in as well nice and close coming for a little cuddle with the um uh land speed avengers yeah why not isn't that nice say hi hi jinx uh children of prophecy that makes it a two i don't you know i don't even think i mentioned what i whether i was expert crafters and children in my list anyway i'm running uh expert crafters and children in prophecy well unfortunately this is a lead game you didn't mention it so now you don't get any army rules so basically you just you understand that could you imagine that you said i want to call it you go for your list with the opponent yeah you vis you tell them it obviously you've got it written down so you can't change it anyway which i do and this list is in the description below but you then say you forget to tell them what to physically tell them what your yeah profile traits are and they're like you can't use it yeah it's like playing death guard oh because they just stop you doing anything yeah yeah did that go off or not i have no idea okay i don't think so okay uh let me check here because i've i've then i had another one with c accounts or so that'll be five six and that jinx is a seven no so i didn't go so i'm going to use a command point two command point re-roll yeah because it would be cool to go off it's not mandatory but yeah that's what that's got a nine the black knights have been jinxed yeah though do you know what you're doing next yeah i can go on to esha now if you like it now it's it's pretty um it's pretty straightforward now mr beard so she's going to cast a cheeky smite yes the cheeky smite is on this speeder here um i believe she's equidistant from both of them but i will double check just in case it looks like the vengeance will be closer i wish it has you mean this one the vengeance is actually closer but she's not in line of sight oh she cannot see it oh i see and smite is the closest um then yes uh visible model so yeah she's ten and a half ten and three quarters almost 11 from this one excuse me everyone excuse me and she truth be told she's actually half an inch closer to this one okay no worries so she'll smite that one instead very good um you know that's fine so here we go smite uh that goes off lovely one deny d3 metal wings d3 mortal wounds on that speeder it is the big three very nice so we are down to seven minutes remaining on this uh storm speeder yes then what she's going to do is she's going to cast uh doom and she's going to cast doom on your bikers so okay it's going to come out they have been jinxed well they've also been yeah you see some sort of sort of uh a theme to this we don't like those bikers right uh well that's quite interesting so that does fail yes uh but she's got her runes of witnessing here uh and that actually ends up four five six plus one i believe doom goes off on a seven but i'm going to double check it does lovely because of the cia council stratagem that does go off right now the question is do i wish to do a cheeky executioner as well i'm going to use unparalleled mastery cp to spend to do another power and the answer to that question is yes yes i do okay because you know i like doing mortal wounds don't we all who who's this on well it oh it's a really good point well he's fouled it anyways it doesn't matter uh it would have been on the same one so spent the cp failed already used cp to reroll uh already used sir runes to re-roll that is my psychic phase concluded thank you very much very nice psychic phase is done i'm fortunate to get the executioner off but a good one nonetheless as we expect from the eldari that's that we'll be back in just a moment for the shooty woot we're back for the shooting phase and we're kicking things off with the shining spear unit here they are allocating their um their spears into the land speed avengers in front of them and the shuriken catapults into the unit of bikes just behind yeah yeah here yeah yeah what are you doing well i i'm not sure that's actually the right thing to do okay that's that's the problem i have here you see i'm glad i started recording well that's okay uh it's it's not a problem no what we're gonna do is we'll fire all of the shuriken catapults at your bikes and we'll fire uh there's only six bikes in range of your bikes with the laser lances so they'll do six of them at your bikers right um and one of them will fire at your um vengeance okay that's what we'll do sure so six laser lances on your bikers okay we are hitting on threes and we can use an expert crafters so we may as well in this instance that's another hits you are doomed so i'm gonna roll to windy now i of course you don't need it at that point uh so that's four wounds now because of jinx you'd normally have your four up in vulnerable safe here but it'll become a five plus invulnerable safe why is that oh cause of jinx yeah you reduce it by one yeah okay very good uh okay cool so each i actually lose the damage but i kill two bikes there basically because you're you've got three rooms but i do damage two so it takes two lances to kill a bike so two bikes are dead okay uh you've got two bikes left alive now i'm gonna fire the single laser lance at the vengeance the one that didn't fire he hits he wounds um vulnerable safely sir no worry so he takes two damage i'll just put a little two by him so we'll remember that now a sea of shuriken catapults yeah so one two we'll wait for you again sure okay three i guess yes six seven two three okay so these are all shuriken catapults to hit your backers sir i'm gonna pick up these misses now pick them up pick them up lovely okay uh then i'm going to be winning you on fives but i've got doom on you so i'll be rerolling tremendous all right sound good sounds great uh so we've got one two three i'll take the sixes gonna be even less safe for you uh cool and i have to rebuild one of these this is a fun game uh okay three more cool so what we've got here are four sixes which would be minus three making your four up in bond but it's now going to become a five up because of the jinx so if you'd like to make four saves so we're doing the four sixes first of all uh do you make two of those cool um so you've lost two wounds already and then oh actually thinking about it these are the these become minus one i will know these one these will be uh four up saves mr beard so yeah six four up saves now six four up saves six four upstairs my friend very good so one biker's on one wound um so we've got a dead biker and we've got one left and one won't lovely perfect next bit of shooting now we have the wave serpent back there that will be firing its weapons into the land speed of vengeance yes sir laser elance uh or bright lines uh both mess i'll use an expert crafters one hits okay one wounds is a wound very good we fail the safe okay uh d6 damage d6 four wounds okay okay and then we have the twin shuriken catapults okay that's three hits no winds there cool so four damage uh on that speeder and the serpent is done okay moving right along we've got the next unit of shining spheres activating now and they are going to be firing all of their weapons into this storm speeder so the lances and the twin shuriken catapults yes three four five six seven seven lances very good uh rerolling once because of aeon seal uh now your reminders one to hit on this one or not yes everything on this flank is sort of hitting on force okay uh so three hits there um do i wish to use an expert crafters uh on a laser lance yes i do no okay three hits and then to wound uh one wound short toughness toughest six so our next back crafters two rooms two wings yeah very good four up in vulnerable save uh do finally make one but one does go through taking two wings five left i'll let you grab your dice for your shuriken catapults okay and now it sure can catapult time can i roll my dice sure you go ahead i have to see your face ready yeah yeah baby okay uh heading off yeah because i'm shrouded by the darkest shroud yes in uh shroud town yes it seems to have been pretty good okay uh then to win you wound me you must be wounded okay uh that's pretty good how many means i can see five sixes there yeah and then i've got a five in there as well and i haven't used the next no i have used an expert after don't don't worry about that so that's uh five sixes and a regular save so five four four ups cool as you've lost two rooms and then the normal save is full so you've got three wounds left remaining lovely i'm happy to just move on to aeon seal thinks he's cool i'm happy for you to do that too i'm just gonna move my dice out your way right thank you right hey he hits you on a six of course he does he wounds you oh half of stuff well i'm gonna make my own vulnerable he is leon uh oh no i do fail fair enough you're still alive on one wound indeed uh twin shuriken catapults shut up catapults they all hit despite minus ones he hits on twos very pleasant he is aeon shul right he's got one wound here i'm going to use some expert crafters because i didn't need that before still the one with him okay a save or die it is a four up required because i rolled a six of course you're alive on one wound remaining one left uh very nice indeed moving on now to the wind warriors aka the characters uh they're going to be firing their shuriken catapults at the speeder in a bid to shut him down yes first we will start with isha in raya yes hero of the authority ghost stale kit she hits on twos as well she hits one two six incredible she is a farseer she sees far that's two wounds i will use a expert crafters that is still two wounds isha in wright hero of the ghosts prodigy of uh were any of those fours uh none of those were sixes so that should both be saved okay uh i do need to check if she's got a singing spear i forget whether i gave her one or not okay but um or do you want to do the other catastrophes and come back to it or do you want to check that now hold on let me check it now oh you're getting your your internet communication device yeah she does have a singing spear that's nice good she is isha in raya she misses she will use her ex crafters on that though she hits to wound you sir it always wins on a two so it always wins on a two single well i always say there's a singing lovely right now we'll do the next warlock yes four shuriken catapults uh they do hit on three so i use an expert crafters on one of those three hits very nice one wound and an expert crafters right so once a four up save required one's a three i'm safe the four up yes the three up yes great and in the final warlock uh another two hits here in an expert crafters nope two hits to wound yourself ah expert crafters no okay that's the warlock's done very good more like poor locks because these things poor levels of accuracy yeah smackdog and now we move on to the final bit of shooting for the odd diary this falcon gravity tank will be firing its twin shuriken catapults into the land storm speeder here and then the twin bright lances into my land speeders that's what that's what it'll be doing one for the storm one for the land uh this is the twin gas bolt uh for two of hits goes to the minus one uh we have two wounds you'll need a four up save and a three up save again four up okay a three up yeah okay uh then the bright lances or pipe it's obviously a pulse laser because i rolled two dice uh the crafters two minutes so much uh two wounds on those speeders four up saves two wounds on your speeders uh one goes through one doesn't okay so three damage bright lance bright lance hits bright lance whom up wait what is this on the squadron of speeders yes i say no squadron yes yes okay so once damaged with three wounds remaining that is the falcon finished incredible well that brings us to the end of the shooting phase somehow someway uh this storms through is still alive he has soaked up all of the firepower for the raven wing and surely will explode in great majesty and excitement uh three wounds down on the land speed is here but there is a pretty good amount of charging about to happen yes we'll be back for the charge phase for the eldar it's the charge phase and we begin with aeon shul he is declaring a charge into the one wound stricken storm speeder he has been stricken oh it's a 10 very nice cheeky we'll move him in and we'll be back for the shining spears next up we have the shining spears and they are declaring a charge into the storm speeder the vengeance and the land speakers over here because of the plus one they only need a four to get into all of these units yeah um they get the plus one because they're exact power which is called swooping dive i think it actually only gives a plus one i thought it also gave you with draw uh full back and uh shoot and still charge but i think that's a different one it's in my list so there we go right funnily enough i rolled a three and that's pretty much what i needed so i've got a four so i'm going to move in magic uh yeah there we go here we go we are starting off with this unit of shining spears over here the exarch is putting his three attacks into the vengeance one of the bikers is going into the single sergeant that remains from the black knights and then we have the other five going into the storm strike yes i'm spending one cp on supreme disdain which means sixes give me another attack beautiful so let's kick off with the x arc because why not three hits that's a good start two additional hits or two additional attacks i should say uh which do become five hits hey that's pretty cool uh then to wound you what's your toughness six uh okay well i've wounded you twice i won't use an expert crafters on it uh in fact i've winded you four times because he's strength eights uh with his star dance uh use minus four you don't have an involved in combat he is destroyed lovely doesn't explode no it does not the land speeder vengeance is destroyed lovely uh i'll just quickly move on with the other so the single bike on your biker uh both this i will use expert crafters he hits i will then wound you because it strength six that kills you because it's minus four uh so the biker is slain good then i've got the remaining five on this one so two four six eight ten right sixes would be nice six gives me an additional attack um which i hit with i would now use an expert crafters and i've already used an expert crafters on a hit forgive me and then i will try to warn you so one two three four and i'll use an expert crafters five what is the toughness of your sixth speeder uh so two four six eight that's ten damage he's that's spot on he's destroyed wow okay oh yeah does it explode does he explode no it doesn't but that is the storms we destroyed very nice yes three now i will consolidate and uh i'm gonna get into these guys to cause problems okay next up we have uh and sure attacking the storm speeder over here um just a quick one for you as well uh the shiny piece of consolidated into the talon master and into the landspeeder vengeance over there yes he's going to hit me back yeah there's really many accidents uh four attacks from a on scheel he hits all four times does your your minus one doesn't affect you in combat no no no uh what is it that's a great question if it does i'll have to use an expert crafters on one of them uh where are you land speed of vengeance uh no dark shroud okay range attacks four hits uh it's only one wound but you only need one because you've only got one wing left so you are destroyed sir yes does it blow up well i don't know it might blow up no it doesn't no seems far too easy to be killing all this stuff okay well we'll remove him then i'll pile him with my spears and we'll do that okay we move on to the other unit of shining spears one and the exarch are going into the land speed of vengeance over here and the rest will be going into the squadron of um landscapes iphones well let's do the exact and the one first so mr exact uh he revolves once because a on seal i'll use an expert crafters on him that's two hits then to win you sir that's two wounds uh no safe so that's four damage and then the two attacks from the other bike one hits and rerolling the one because of uh and sure he misses anyway and then to wound you i rolled a uh three which is your toughness six that fails so you've already lost two four damage i'll leave you on one wound if i rerolled against him uh well if you've done four damage he has two wings left oh yes good point because he's only got seven minutes left yes i have three wins left sorry four five six seven yes so it would leave him on one wound if i did this extra bit of damage but it wouldn't kill him so in which case i will just move on to the rest of the squad one two three four five on your speeders here we go rerunning the ones better and then to wind you uh it's not the best but not the worst so uh four wins because you're you're baby speeders minus uh toughness six or tough yeah toughness six as well so uh that would be one the speed of destroy because he only had three wins left yeah and another one on two wounds remaining okay locked down a little bit there yeah uh oh i haven't used my expert crafters though have i for that you'd use it for that squad already i don't know for the wood okay so that gives me another one which means that two four six i destroy another speeder so basically i destroyed two speeders very good got there in the end well that is that for the eldari um so remove the landspeeders this one is free but we'll need a morale but we do have some attacks back so we're going to start off with the vengeance over here so four attacks because he has been charged i'm hitting you on threes i miss every single time fantastic uh moving on to the vengeance over here into those bikes i hit you twice and i went you twice lovely sir i failed twice says i'll kill a bike and then the attacks from the talon master i hit you all the times i wound you uh only once unfortunately but it was minus three minus three all right how's that save damage just down this one just a power sword okay cool uh so um yeah one of my bikes he's got one when he left beautiful okay so that's not enough for me to make a morale um so it's just i'm sure i'm still in coherency with everything i'll have to remove a different biker for that to be the case so i'll remove him ins dead um okay yeah uh that's me so just a morale for your speeder yes i'm just gonna have a quick think and see if i want to auto pass it i need to figure out how important this speeder is to my plan i am going to roll for him uh because i'm gonna spend two command points on swift strike for my uh vengeance here sure i could do that after he's finished fighting that put me down to five but that is essential because i do need to move him into a position where he can do some damage in the next turn and behave normally um so we just need to roll for my land speeder anything but a six hey amazing um cool so that is that pretty decent turn i think we can all agree shining spears are so good so good i think interestingly they do actually perform better if they don't go first because more than likely you're going to get them both in moved and into combat uh they've got excellent uh shooting capability and then they're devastating in combat as you can see really good tricks as well like you can deep strike one or two units um generally one a big blob and you can have the warlock with the ghost walk power which gives them plus two inches to their charge and they've got the x arc power the plus one inch to their charge which is what i'm using here yeah and then all of a sudden you've got plus even though you've deep deep strike nine inches away you still only need the six inch charge right so it's yeah it's pretty nasty stuff you can do with them they're crazy good what one downside that the uh ravenwing has they they're not that resilient in combat so they're pretty good at uh avoiding the shots and getting some good in-run saves in uh in in the shooting phase but not so much in combat and realistically i mean wherever i go i'm going to get hunted down by these things because they're so fast and if i don't move forwards i can't shoot anything so not much i can do without those little puppies they're really annoying i mean i mean the thing is you've got black knights and stuff now oh yeah these are dead next turn i'm not i'm not worried about them yeah yeah um but yeah they are definitely a nuisance oh it's a spicy game it's a spicy meatball uh i've got a lot to do in my turn too um so we're gonna leave it there for this battle round and we will return in battle round two it's the movement phase the command phase has happened uh gave mr beard a command point however you did use a stratagem hit and run on this particular vengeance this time uh which is one cp it is one cp yes basically it means you could fall back and still shoot right yes cool so he's fallen back from the shining spears all the way over here the bikes have flanked the shining spears flanking maneuvers the talon master has remained in combat with them a lot of plasma death wearing up their power cells ready to unleash death on perhaps a wave serpent uh we shall see over here we have uh the single land speeder from the squadron uh effectively he wasn't in combat anymore but he's moved back towards the priority objective he's now within three inches the dark shroud has also moved to within three inches of that priority objective and the vengeance initially using that swift strike stratagem fell back over here after um fighting but then in the movement phase has moved this way he was thinking about sniping one of the characters to get him some points because he's got assassinate and a poor the witch however uh beard realized that he didn't have enough firepower then to deal with the spears and the spears must be dealt with they gotta go uh otherwise all three of those vehicles after firing and everything would be very dead dead so uh okay fair enough i'm not too fussed about the shining spears over on your side because i know that i can deal with them uh yeah cause you you can charge them you don't even need to fire it yeah um these guys have got to go everything's moved more than 12 apart from the talon master that stayed in combat so anything any units i destroy will be two points on the wind um yeah i've forgotten the characters for this turn but although they're worth a lot with the combination of the ball the witch and assassinate it's too early so i'm gonna hold steady and just if i can kill enough stuff in this turn then really good spot sure and yeah so you've denied this primary now for from me because you've got three models where i've only had the two shining spears yeah since i was holding both priority objectives at the end of my turn i did get the full five points for that because at the end of the turn beard had fallen back with the vengeance uh to go over to those characters there as an option nonetheless this is how we're going to play it out no psychic phase we have a shooting phase mr beard needs a big shooting phase wish him luck that's coming up in a moment folks we are in the shooting phase i just wanted to do an addendum to the movement phase looking at uh the fact that his vengeance did fall back over here to try and snipe a character but then he decided against it and actually just moved back over here uh i've suggested why don't we just say that you just fell back there because then that way i wouldn't have got both the priority objectives and it just makes sense so let's just do that i should have spent a little bit more time thinking about where to put him after swift strike because he ended up there so very kind in this situation in real life i'd say hey that's very kind i'll buy a beer after the game oh it's fine isn't this nice even though we play competitively yeah it's a game everyone you got to have a heart just like the tin man it's like a teammate so basically what it meant is that i've deducted two points uh from my score i now got three points for priority objective not five so man wants a brain uh-huh i'm thinking of the lion it's okay and the the light the the army the lion yeah i get it yeah all right you're gonna kill me now okay so we're gonna start off with the telemaster down here we're going to shoot all of his guns into the the fellas that are there i dig it do it here we go so twin assault cannon first of all uh he ignores a minus one because he has arbiter's gaze and ignores everything very nice he's very accurate and then we're wounding on threes okay so that is two four six eight wounds roughly one more than the first number six seven eight okay and this is uh minus minus one minus one is there now uh i found one two three four one was already on one wound by the way guys so that will be two dead bikes and another on one wound i'll remove them presently we still have a twin heavy bolter folks that's right that into those spears twinsies twinsies i hate you five times lovely threes i wound you four times beautiful four biggins i dig it okay saves uh i passed two i failed two uh they are damaged too because they're heavy bolter that will kill two more bites i will remove them right now we now have the vengeance everyone and he's using two command points on weapons of the dark age bringing him down to three c uh yeah come on points remaining uh firing everything at this wave serpents um did you advance with this guy can't because he fell back yes of course so he's not a minus one to hit currently do i wish to put lightning fast reactions on there you're currently damaged four without plasma is that right well yes but you minus one because you're stupid serpent shield i pick your power i hate wave serpents why because they're silly they do everything no minus one damage all these wounds troops capacity big guns little guns serpent shield very nice bit what are you doing um i think in this instance because it's either that wave serpent or the shining spears that i would put a minus one to hit on um you obviously have quite a bit of firepower for the egg as well um because he could potentially nuke the serpent in one go and then you'd be able to plasma the wraith plate it depends if i need to roll well on my plasma exactly it's really situational yep um i i will use lightning fast reactions on that wave surface okay yeah very good that's so it's so it's uh that's it unfortunately for you i'm now gonna use my tracer rounds what does that mean it just means i'm gonna hit you better with my heavy bowl to trace around that nonsense is your two ones anyway one hit so you know no wounds no rich the plasma storm battery that's the storm battery four shots well i mean look that is it's respectable that's certainly not bad so i just wanted to hit did help it did help you it didn't i'll take that wound you know i'll take that i failed wow i mean so actually you did make me waste two cp for nothing yeah although you also spent two cp for nothing yeah i mean how does that so it's like two cp a pop what do you recommend weapons for the dark age on paper looks great but with these units it's actually not very good because you have to do it before you roll for your shots it's all very stressful you're very stressful we now come over to the right flank and two more cp have been dropped dropped like they're hot like this what oh and what is it that you've just spent uh two command points on targeting guidance okay so i've done it from my lance my dark angels land speeder right here onto the uh a visible enemy unit within 18 inches which is these so then everything that shoots them gets plus one to hit beautiful which is very good i've been getting those spheres on twos now i've already used lightning fast reactions yeah i can't use it again brilliant okay good what's super interesting because i've just been moaning off camera about my my vengeance yeah in this situation because it's blast yeah i get six shots yeah because i've got seven um bikers in that unit yeah and it's 2d3 yeah and it's d3 so you know the minimum amount of shots is three per shot so you get there you go but the most important thing is not to forget your tracer rounds so i've hit you three times lovely we do on threes uh it's too weird um oh one thing i must consider mr b and i'm just gonna make these saves for you i do fail once that's a dead biker yes um is the vengeance is 2d three shots is it a single gun or is it two guns which are d3 shots each it's a single gun with two d3 shots right so in which case it's not it's it's a minimum of three shots of course that makes more sense yes if it was two guns it would be six shots if it doesn't match me i'm gonna get six shots okay great i got i rolled a six yeah that's good all right we've got four shots twos please i hit you four times yeah four hits brilliant you die now uh three weeks okay minus four four plus in one i will use a cp here because that would be silly not to and i make that you so you have killed a bike with the trace arounds but not with the plasma okay let me remove that and we'll be back it's now typhoon time and he will be opening up against the spears in front of him okay uh what are we firing first we'll do the uh the missiles first of all missiles i hate you twice very nice i wound you twice lovely these are crack missiles yes the finest in all the missiles i fell both those saves so the first one does six wounds the other one does forward just ten wounds good work uh we'll do the multi melter okay so two bikes dead there multi melter two two here it's excellent work sir two ones okay remove the models i do save one of those very good uh so that'll be a third bike there because you're in melter range okay i'm happy to move straight on to my um dark shroud lovely go for it six shots from the automatic cannon i hate you five times probably i wound you three times three times okay three biggers uh that means that's just a single wound that goes through i will actually put that on um sorry i can't do that i need to declare it beforehand so yeah a bike's got one wound left okay okay so you killed three bikes which is good very good you needed that uh and one's got another wound taken great it's plasma talon time they rev up their plasma are they overcharging sir there's no point no not really with the reduction of damage i mean i'll be wounding you on threes rather than fours but um i don't want to risk killing them i understand that i respect that choice yeah so are you just going to uh do your assault two shots into that serpent here we go so the first squad uh reroll the one for my captain nearly a full house okay winning on fours uh only two whoops ugh okay only two grim uh i saved one i failed one so i've got 10 greens remaining okay and then the other squad yuck okay four hits uh two wounds okay two ways oh no wait i've got my my um lieutenant no it's still two or three well i saved another yeah and i roll a four so that's another wounds down i've got nine left but i am still very healthy uh ouch okay all right he's i think you fight everything i have yes what about your captain captain uh yeah that is true so he's got his uh bolters uh oh he hits you all the times of course he does so uh one witch okay is minus one oh i failed that safe oh what a hero he is a hero okay eight wounds left on the serpent but that's the shooting phase complete all right let's see what you do in the charge phase we're in the charge phase and we're opening up with whom sir right we'll start off with these um black knights over here okay they're going to charge into the wave serpent first of all yep uh they get it on a six exactly what they needed perfect okay precision strike we're now going to charge the captain into the um shining spears over there he needs a five a six six one more than needed above precision and then finally we're gonna need a seven from the rear unit of black knights into them as well okay they do fail that's fine um right i'll move them i'm going to think about the next unit sounds good to me still in the charge phase everyone it's the dark shroud the dark shroud launching a charge against the shining spears it might seem crazy but i'm going off this model every time i play it um but more importantly rather than being silly um if i can get the charge off and manage to kill one uh which isn't impossible that will really force the morale right and if you fail then one's going to flee and then you know this is where the truck i need an eight five six seven okay i'm going to try it with my land speeder and then i'm gonna give up okay five six seven eight nine huzzah well done perhaps it was meant to be die scam uh okay cool right that's everything charged the flying scum dispatcher uh that's it okay i'm ready to kill you now cool folks it's the captain the captain levels his power fist at the shining spears and he crushes them in his giant ham hand yes let's do this it's more of a claymore yes we're playing it as a powerful yes i know see uh so threes i hate you all times okay that's not very nice die scum die scam twos uh cool three wounds oh you're minus two i don't get any volume in combat so you're looking at fives here uh i save one and i fail too so uh damage is flat two isn't it yes okay so the exact is live on one week yes great we now have the typhoon against the shining spears a typhoon upon yourself various comebacks thai food upon you i hit you twice okay i wound you [Music] okay okay that's a shame um very well okay uh in which case uh we'll go on to my uh black knights i need to check their stats copy that black knights against the wave serpent now no damage reduction anymore because we're in combat collocally uh okay these twos are the worst also they should be weapon skill too yes uh okay lovely stuff and i'll be wounding you on fives and sixes uh one two three wounds and i think i'm within 600 dollar master damn it no i'm not okay um so that is uh three weeks okay minus one minus one you say no problem three wounds at minus one i make two i fail one the damage two okay so six wounds left on that serpent still alive oh dear my turn the x-arc over here will strike back i'm going to strike the talon master of the talon nice uh two hits and the uh expert crafter three hits and two wounds uh does need because you're talking six right yes i'd need sixes here i'll do an expert crafter nope so no wings from the exact uh your talent master would now get too hit to me sir uh yes so i have uh three attacks i think you once uh have weapon skill two wait maybe he does come on you might yes he does come on now everyone knows that uh it is three wounds yep okay three no two two strength four okay no it's trying to fight because plus one it is yes okay so uh three wounds uh so yeah i fail one uh no what's your manner sorry my threes password minus three so i thought all three i am dead i am deaded well done sir beautiful now the shining spears against the typhoon can i get lucky here hitting on threes we re-rolling once i can re-roll two because of expert crafters or hits sixes though because i didn't charge okay i've got three sixes yes that is really bad news because it would mean that you are destroyed plus i've got an expert crafter on top of that nonetheless three sixes you don't have an invon it's minus four you don't blow up damn it they destroyed a speeder oh dear we now have a wave serpent i've got d3 attacks over there three i've got two to hand both miss uh doesn't hit anything okay the serpent has failed that turn did not go well no at all you've had a ah that's a bad one if i had a bit of luck with the uh vengeance over there uh destroyed that serpent well even even as much even not destroying it but getting it down to enough way so i could finish it off with plasma that would have been good then i could have opened up into the bracing side but now i'm in a really bad spot oh dear i dare idea i i do feel for you there also these shining spears surviving is really irritating yep i'm now going to spend two cp to auto pass their morale leaving me on one yep uh and that unit is still pretty viable with three left in there you have at least destroyed that um shining spear unit although another irritating thing you actually killed it with the lieutenant in the end the talon master which means that you don't get speed of the raven secondary very frustrating uh as we go into my turn two um you have denied me holding this primary you've denied me holding this primary but i am still holding three primes yep i still get the max that's 15. that's real bad news this is the way league game can go guys and especially two very fast uh super alpha strike style armies yeah this could be my next tone could be so punishing that beer can't get back into it that might be the way this goes let's find out though he does have the ability to potentially pass saves if you can just make the dice rolls maybe turn two before the old diary is underway the movement phase is complete starting back here this falcon has just done a little swivel pointing its guns towards the enemy which is always a good way of being better with your dice rolls you've heard it here first the uh raves have moved forward looking to chop down their prey and shield has moved forward to engage with the dark shroud and the land speed of vengeance the three remaining bikes have moved over this way looking to deal with them as well over here these rafes have disembarked and are looking to deal with the black knights uh two command points spent for this uh wave serpent here so down to zero but does allow him to fall back and shoot which is very nice retreat yes the character is staying put in the middle that is that that's it things go well this could be an eldari victory this day yeah it's a good list actually i really like it thanks yeah i think this is this is the way to go with aldari i think in a minute yeah obviously cue comments saying no laurence that's terrible uh i think it's pretty good so there we go yeah yeah uh yeah double patrol i like it right um i'm ready to to do some psychic death let's go straight we should go straight into it right now let's do it okay uh so isha's going to kick this off um she is going to do um what's it called smite that's the power hello oh no on the uh bikers there go for it you're smitten sir good d3 just the one okay uh then she's going to do executioner rather than doom that's how we're going to roll executioner uh five that fails um she's going to use her runes of the farce here to do her thing six six do you want to check it yeah let's check it okay unfortunately it's five mr lawrence it does fail yeah because i don't have c council in place beginning of your downfall this yeah good good well make it interesting sounds good um i'm going to cast quicken on the wraith blades yes quick and uh six no that fails okay no sorry forgive me that goes off this is a good example because children of the prophecy the one becomes a two and it uh quicken right you know what i get so paranoid about this the worst thing is saying you've cast something when you haven't cast it luckily we have the time of power available it's a seven it is a goes off lovely um because the one becomes a two cool so i'll move them uh in a moment yes and i'll just quickly do the other power on the other warlock if that's okay go for it um i'm going to cast do i need the plus 2 here because i've got a crater it would help or is it better off going for a jinx do you know what i will go for do you need to kill those bikes as well should she she whiffed her this time bless her yes sir that's what she crushed absolutely crashed no in order to ensure that we get charges i'm going to put ghost walk on yeah i'd suggest which is a plus two to my charge which will effectively ignore the minus two for being it's best to guarantee the charge than to uh get no charge at all that's it so um there we go uh that is it the psychic phase is done i don't look i'm not it wasn't the best phase i've ever had having said that i'm in a pretty good position yeah so you know you can't really complain you can't you can't have it all right you can't have it all you shouldn't anyway okay whatever position you're in shut up now that is the end of the psychic phase the shooting phase is coming up in just a moment let me shoot you we begin the shooting phase with isha mariah yes hero of the offway ghosts her shuriken catapults into your bikes very good she hits you three times she cannot reroll that she's not as she can expert crafters four hits it's very silly expert crafters you shouldn't be able to revolve a hit and a wound this is this is a little trick you can take advantage of with elder currently she wounds you once yes your expert craft one she doesn't cross nothing you know what she crafted nothing a terrible looking totem whittled out of wraith bone i save it no i don't it takes a wait her singing spear more like singing singing beer yeah she starts to wound you on a wallet yeah seeing spears are the worst well i see you know i always see them and they're very scary but then they always fail to wound i find they might always wind on a two yeah uh would you like to move on to your next uh character so one's got one win left right the warlock is going to uh do the twin shuriken casper the lock of war uh three hits there expert crafter unfortunate uh oh got uh one wound there minus three there beard and mine is three yeah uh i don't have a five up on vulnerable stuff which i do make i'm gonna go over to the other warlock i can see that you're going to try and be annoying about this yes expat crafters one wound one wound expert crafters two wounds two wounds uh yeah there's no any minus no no yes i passed them both six so you've got one bite with one wound left your doom is sealed that is you know what can i say you can say i can concede okay yeah no no okay we'll move on to the next unit in just a moment it's the wave serpent twin shuriken catapults into the bikes and the bright lance into the speed of vengeance okay catapults awful hit very nice that's sort of pleasant isn't it isn't that pleasant i think so that's unpleasant okay yeah no nice very fun yep uh twin brightlands the brightest lances in town significant it's ominous right one weed expert crafters two wins i don't like excellent craft no it's like it's it's an irritating thing it also slows the game it does slow it down uh you know that also slows the game down listen i like that double state that's nice that i learned that from you you see no that's what i was about to say that's stylish you do that to your opponent and you psychologize them well you know what that's an interesting word but i i'm throwing from a great i got it what's the word what's that thing that you do all the time the i have the voodoo the dice huh i voodoo the dice so i got that word psychologize from dangerous minds i watched that again recently you've seen that michelle pfeiffer arrogance that's what the word was trying to think of throw with great arrogance i thought with arrogance it's true this is why people um get upset at me because i i throw the dice with confidence yeah but i argue why don't why not do everything in confidence it works apparently you know with confidence um do you what do you know what you're shooting next uh well i should say what i've not actually done anything dude okay so you know the game is on yeah uh do you have a look no this falcon will fire we're in the falcons yeah the falcon will fire we'll fire up falcon can't see the vengeance anyway so the falcon is going to fire at the uh bikers here the bikes okay very good um oh but i've got ones on one wound but is there anything else that can fire them anyway am i probably just going to charge with the wraiths now those silly bikers do you want to have a think yes we're going to leave the falcon for a while yeah we're going to say we're going to go over to the training spheres two of them will be firing into the land speed of vengeance here and one will be firing into the bikes over there how it's working is two laser lances into the vengeance yes all of the catapults and one laser lance into the bikes oh sorry the catwalks we're going to start with the uh catapults first okay happy i'm always happy me too i've hit you a lot there beard i'm not within six inches of air on sure i'm not going to use an expert crafter on that okay all right okay what what uh that is three wounds now two of these what's interesting about that is two of these will have to be on your jinx save so minus three that's very interesting ready damn it didn't work that time um so one bike is steered and one's lost the wound and then another regular safe he's always another one it's not working so basically one bike's dead and one bike is on one wound that is correct all right now i'm going to do the single laser lance into uh that biker unit that's a hit that's a wound well that kills another bike okay so i've that's pretty cool i kill two bikes with those shining spears very cool now the two laser lances into your vengeance yes both hit yeah uh one wound expat crafters oh sorry that's two wins one's going safely they've both gone through because avengers only had three wounds left does it explode no no one he implodes in fact that is the end of the vengeance and two bikers are slowing oof now it's time for the falcon firing all of its guns into the bikes there's two left can they be brought down pulse laser that's unfortunate because you're eating fours going through the dense cover it's true i'm gonna use an expert crafters no missus uh bright lance missus unfortunate uh yeah okay very good uh we now have this wave serpent here double bright lance has already fired and you're on a double six to save which is really cool so [Music] yeah what's the next slide i can't remember is that the end of your shooting phase no oh what's left um what's up all attack is gonna fire at your speeder in front of it catapults oh here no we run into one because of the thing yeah he's not hit a two's a minus one to hit so three hits okay i'm not gonna use an expert crafter or anything like that uh one wound one wound yep he loves life laser lance hits yes wounds up uh did you do you get like an invon yeah you move five up no so you lose two wins damn two wins down on the two runes on the dark shrouds yep two rings is that the end of your shooting that's in my shoes okay very good not bad it's not bad not best not really but it's not bad it's not bad it's not bad uh but this uh charge phase in the subsequent fight phase may be very painful so uh we'll be back in just a moment for those all important charges we're back for the charge phase and we're going to kick things off with the shining spears down here they declare a charge into the black knights and my captain yes sir down here they've got a double six only a 12 pathetic they can just about make the charge uh we'll move them in and be right back okay and shield will charge dark shroud can't really fail this charge very good he's in do you know what you're charging next yeah i'm going to charge the wraith blades into the dark shroud also yes they will make it on a five indeed they will although uh oh to be fair they needed four so it's not that bad uh okay and then the uh wraith blades here will charge [Applause] yeah they'll charge this biker unit and the thingy okay i'm gonna spend my last come on point to overwatch here okay go for it uh because i don't have much to spend on this unit okay so i think that makes sense they're two shots of pop so one two three four shots if i can kill one are you over charging of course i'm over charging what do you think i am amateur amateur hour this is this is die scam hour so i think you know times um but you also didn't kill yourself so yeah pretty cool yeah pretty cool i mean silver lining and everything yeah i rolled a seven for my charge okay they're very i don't include the plus two because i've taken away the minus two for going through it crazy so ghost walker that's enough beautiful cool that's that we're gonna move these units in and we'll be back for the fight phase one last thing to charge and then we're gonna go straight into the fight phase this wave serpent is gonna charge into the bikes because fain's retreat and he makes it beautiful uh fame retreats to stratagem allows you to still shoot full cp we're going to start off with these uh shining spears here yeah all the attacks going into my captain captain that's right so two four plus the x arc i have to do the x out separately because he's got a higher actually it doesn't make a difference funnily enough uh so he hits you three times yes and then the four regular attacks they all hit you okay cheeky uh you'll see t5 so you freeze the wound you're captain uh i'll use an expert crafters on one uh okay that is six wins my friends they're all damaged too this is all on your shielding vulnerable oh good role cool he's still alive yeah you've only taken four wins so markup good stuff uh cool then i'll just quickly do the wave segment real quick d3 attacks three uh two hits uh no no hits i'll use an expert crafter on one nothing okay uh then we will do the wraith blades let me check their attacks we'll be right back for the blades we move on now to the uh wraiths over here four of them are going to be chopping into the vengeance with their axes and one will be chopping into the bikes yes sir because that's cool here we go four into the vengeance chop chop they are minus one to hit remarkably i hit with all but one i'll save the last miss for the other guy okay so i won't use an expert crafters as well it's a lot of hits uh right these are strength seven the axis um and uh your t6 so yeah three's here there we go evened out uh one two three four five failed i'm just going to work out i need an expert crafters here i they are the axes are minus three so you'd need six up saves one two three four five six uh what's the damage the damage is d3 right um i do just in case you get super lucky though needs to guarantee are we using expert crafters for good measure cool so that's seven six up saves you need to make seven six upstairs seven easy the rest of the number uh i make one okay so you've failed six already uh and this is six d3 just avoid rolling lots of ones and twos basically yeah no you're dead very good does the vengeance explode there's no single thing exploding it's very disappointing all right uh we'll remove him in a set and i'll do the three attacks on the bikes now i did miss with two of those i'll use the expert craft to reroll on one of that misses anyway to wound you i failed to wound but i'd already use the next weird crafter on there so i do not hurt your bikes but i've destroyed a vengeance you have indeed very nice um we'll be right back for the next unit we move on to the next unit of wraiths no we don't aion shul what is your ayan shaw thinks he's odd let him have the glory of uh this uh combat right uh you might just want to hit him no you're not in this arrangement isn't it so i'll reroll the one here uh that's four hits uh to wind you uh three runes and an expert crafter because you're tapping six i assume still just three wins um no invulnerable save minus four oh no so six damage so he's five on one wound one move left all right then we'll have the race one chop chop two three four rerunning ones because shield is nearby and we'll do an expert crafter on one okay i mean this is ridiculous you've got one wing left if you follow the overkill you're dead he's dead does he blow up no why why does he not blow up uh very nice but why can you not roll a single explosion i'm sorry on all these vehicles i'm sorry what's ridiculous right well i'm going to attack you back now because you finished right here you've finished yeah uh well i'm going to roll my device now for my captain okay because he is going to crush these pathetic bikers sure he's got a fair chance are you ready ready to die yeah ready to die i hate you four times can't you be wrong you're right no you can't no because he is stop playing unable to yeah uh i wound you for the yes right uh isn't he got a power yeah so three wins well i'm t4 oh yes four wins oh yeah so i mean this will probably kill the bikes now yeah you killed a bike i did amazing lovely good that's pretty cool because i'm pretty sure i could get uh death in the wind in a turn so i'll double check them i think that might give me two points sure read double check uh let me just grab my dice for my bikes we'll be right back sure okay a tax back for the uh black knights over there i'll be hitting you on threes re-rolling ones because of my captain just as well isn't it though it is actually isn't it just yes it really is uh and then i'm going to be wounding you on five and six scott uh rerun the ones for my talon master it's three wounds and minus one four plus inventory let's say uh yep so two wings go through cool a girl one damage two perfect one wraith blade is a slave fabulous uh we'll move on to the other unit down here that were charged by the uh seven wave surf at the serpent of the wave here we go uh i hit you several times do this several times fives and sixes again two wounds five and sixes uh rerolling the one okay okay cheeky it's one wound one wound one save sound okay that's that that's that the end of the turn so no morale required for me i think there's a morale required for your bike squad um you can't fight you can't fail that's perfect yeah uh i only lost one so i cannot fail yeah because i'm leadership seven as i recall so that's it guys that's it what can i say i mean look an interesting turn the biggest problem i've we've got is that i've scored so many points yeah i've now got engaged for all four quarters this turn so that's three yeah uh i've got the priority objectives for the five this time yeah um yeah pretty savage i'm pretty sure so based on what i've got left yeah which is this yeah i don't think i can pull it back based on the primary mission alone because for me to i just don't have enough left i mean you've got all of these points wrapped up in i do have a lot of points here but these guys can't fall back and charge can they no because i don't have any command points so i can't actually get in and target them um so this might be a bit of a conundrum however your captain could he get around and i mean maybe we we're gonna have to have a little look minus two through the crate maybe let's have a little look well let's just see what you can do indeed that's the end about round two we'll be back in just a moment for battle round three and the raven wing turned through this is it it's turn three it's a summary yeah because he's got he's got a lot of points that he could score here um it's just the potential counter of my next turn might be too much but i don't know we'll see uh so he's used the stratagem uh what's this called hit and run warfare hit run warfare so he gains a cp in the command phase and then spent it which means that he can now shoot because as he's pointed out all three of those characters are by themselves they're not within three of a vehicle anymore or anything else so he can target them so he's probably gonna put as much into the characters as he can the talon master is left over there to also uh lay weathering fire down captain has sped around here would need a nine inch charge to make it into the characters but that's possible if you know if they're still alive after the shooting and these bikers here have remained in combat that is it that's it let's do some shooting let's do it um so we'll start off with those two over there uh they're going to use their plasma talents and shoot into the warlock over here sure are they overcharging of course they're overcharging very nice come on now uh i've hit you okay uh wounding on what's the toughness toughness for but your strength right now i believe so is your overcharge two wins two rounds okay i have four plus in vulnerable saves i make one i fail one okay that does mean that i'm still alive on one wound does indeed uh i will now one wound left is it one winner so my captain will do his rapid fire bolters into that same one lovely sounds good try and finish him off three hits we will do the assault cannon yep annoyingly into no we're gonna do the assault hmm we're gonna do the assault cannon into the other warlock okay yep my plan is changing as we go six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve uh the assault came to the other warlock yep and the twin of your bolts into esha because there's a chance that i could make the charge for my captain into the warlock because he is uh a good couple of inches closer than mission asia okay so we'll try the the twin assault cannon first so and this is into isha sorry no this is into isiah no this isn't this is interesting i'm confused okay so this isn't no problem uh uh threes two wounds three swords six uh okay two four six eight ten wounds really good rod minus one uh three six seven i've got eight dice here so i'm just gonna roll those initially uh and then i've got two more dice okay so one two three four five failed but she's still alive on one wound oh she's not is she okay okay very good okay uh then the twin heavy bolter yep into the other warlock uh i hit you five times right threes to wounds it's five wounds uh he is finally dead so one uh that was the jinx protect warlock so um that is uh one warlock slain there okay uh okay that gives you because assassinate stacks with the poor the witch which i know a lot of psychic rvs are really upset about uh that gives you six points yeah so we have in normal games we have house ruled this because we don't agree that you can that you can do that in a normal game sure because this is the league if we were doing this to the tournament it is just valid yeah it's just crazy that you could do that with you can get that many points in one unit anyway it might even be worth five points still the character into the um but it's been it's been faq'd it's it's a bit better anyway you either got five six seven eight points there or you got five six points okay okay now next we're going to uh charge in my talon master into both of those okay okay fair enough you can't really fail here's it now i need the same role for my actually now you need a knife we're gonna do this properly we're gonna remove the warlock i'm gonna double measure because this is an important charge oh wait did you were firing the heavy bolter into the fresh warlock there weren't you yeah not the one wound one yeah so oh so i'm not sure that warlock is dead in fact uh no it wouldn't be actually no no so uh because i failed one save so that's two damage so both warlocks are on one weight that's the case and he's just on one wound alicia's on one with so all three of them are on one wound okay that's pretty crazy action right so we all the characters on one wing one more you need mates with the captain to make it six seven eight nine ten eleven oh yes very nice okay and he goes here we go characters versus the heart of the authority ghost we're gonna do the telemaster all of the attacks into esha uh let's do it die scum nice garden uh i hate you all the times okay i'm wounding you twice okay two wounds of mine double six she saves both my hopes and dreams uh so we're splitting the attack so three power fifths into one and two into the other yeah so the first one one's a miss because minus one the powerfus uh does wind one neither four plus in vulnerable safe oh but you do kill a warlock okay so that was the jinx one which is now slain okay uh right so you do get the points not as many as i need not as many as you need yeah no i think we can call it there probably i was able to um because this is what's gonna happen you're gonna fall back and you're gonna smite both of those to death well i can't do if i fall back i can't do that but i tell you now i probably wouldn't fall back i would go smite executioner i mean the thing is i might perils and kill myself i mean but actually what's going to happen is shield's going to come over now yeah he is going to charge yes um that that captain is very very lightly dead yeah uh these wraiths i mean i don't i mean you do have these bikes left i mean the the the main people should probably play the main problem is you got the primary term for us the game yes i've i've i'm already about 20 points ahead i think i mean you can't look if you did conceive now it would be understandable yeah because i'm i am going to score maximum points again next turn but i can't get holding one one yeah two plus i'll get another five for holding both the priority objectives or you just need to you just need to stay still all right well do you wish to call it then mr beard unfortunately yes it is a shame but i mean well we could carry on but wow basically nice to think that your characters we don't see your characters slain and they fall back in uh they've flown to the moon [Laughter] well look at an interesting one that was interesting i have some interesting thoughts yeah we're interested in your raven wing list going forward the dark shell can go yeah i've used it enough times now yeah i mean there are benefits right here's the thing if you if as a red wing player you go second it is really useful to have him around because you are getting rid of a lot of shots from any shooty armies um after that point it's not really worth it if you don't go first you're kind of forced to stay within the range of that thing yeah it's one of the slowest moving units that you've got for the raven wing so you're having to stay back a little bit to keep into the bubble um so i i probably say the points could be better allocated elsewhere um i mean attack bikes are obviously a very popular thing we don't have any painted currently no we've got a couple but not enough work yes we need we need we we we we could do with quite a few more yeah if you wanted to run a raven wing centric force personally i'm still going to try and lean you towards introducing some of the deathwing knights uh and some other bits i'm more of a mixed force maybe putting azrael back in it's an interesting one but that's a pretty dramatically different list and in this game i don't know how useful they'd be really because they're so slow yeah if you if you deep strike them and they get lucky with the charge brilliant yeah if you don't you can just stay away from the whole game well guys why don't you let us know what you think at home i like your list howard's thank you yeah i look i i tell you now i'm not going to tweet my list power selection the exact power so i think it's it's got a bit of everything i can fight in combat i've got good firepower i'm fast i've got i'm active in every phase i've got a really good psychic phase children of prophecy really nice very very effective psychic thing i think so yeah generally speaking uh yeah a lot i'm very happy with the list uh but look let us know what you think we haven't quite decided how we will allow tweaking going forward it might be like maybe we can only tweak one unit yeah but between games or something like that again if you've got any suggestions with that let us know for now i won't be tweaking obviously beard will be tweaking to some degree let's see what you suggest we look forward to uh showing you guys many more league reports if you've loved this please give us a subscribe show us some love put the thumbs up and if you really love us with your shirts yeah come over to the website and support us on demand where we do it every week yes leaguey until next time this has been the beards and myself the spider goodbye [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] this will be your doom no i can't move the same mission there put in your pocket no because it looks terrible put on the floor let's get rid of it i'll put you on the floor
