Thursday SINGLE FACTION TOURNAMENT | Storm Clouds Gather...Total War Warhammer 3

ladies and gentlemen I hope you're all doing well we're back with Warriors of chaos today so we're gonna be continuing to try and learn some schemes with the old dark Gods but I promise you for the next stream we will play something different but today's single faction tournament is going to be the Warriors of chaos for anybody who's interested alright so interestingly enough uh the first matchup yes Poe it was it was definitely off the deep end there yeah absolutely man uh we're gonna be playing carc again so we got him as our first opponent last time and uh I guess we're playing him again so he's gonna be on the chaos dwarves and the map is going to be Proving Grounds for the first one so I'm really actually quite curious what he's going to be doing in this matchup so let's get the map all set get the Army blocker up and have some fun so there we go and I do have a build for this I think yeah it was I believe I got one here for the old chaos dwarves yes yes we do all right looking good I feel like it's a pretty respectable little build here it could be difficult for the chaos dwarves to deal with but uh we'll have to find out on today's episode we'll see what schemes and Witchcraft they bring to the table yes single faction tournament indeed so today's a little bit different um it's your main faction all the way through so there won't be any you won't be doing best of Threes at the end just to make it a little bit quicker all right perfect let's get this going good luck have fun to my opponent and uh let me see if there's any other admin requests all right looking in the tournament chat uh you forget you must have not checked in some folks are still learning how to use the check-in feature it would seem it's all good we'll see what we can do let's give you the appropriate roles and we're all good can you please use archaeon today archeon against chaos dwarves the fire damage definitely isn't good um I think sigwald is pretty good against chaos dwarves he's a very very viable choice but so too is Festus having like a festive Death Star I think is a pretty good thing so it looks like Kirk is ready and so are wees we're gonna be jumping into the first game really really quickly here when did Giants become meta uh I don't know I wouldn't say they're like hard meta but Giants are still good they've gotten a lot of cost reductions over the past couple years you know they went from I think costing like what 16 1700 down to 1400 and uh yeah they just honestly are pretty cost effective for what they do some of the pump wagon so hopefully not today Hammer storm begins chaos warps is viable um I probably would just go like cheaper heroes or different things like that all right did you check in after I started all right checking the phone to the players here all right outstanding yeah pump wagons are currently banned yeah they're super bugged like two pump wagons can kill the skystriders it's pretty silly so uh yeah definitely there's a couple other units that you know have some issues but nothing there's nothing on that level that's that busted it'd feel pretty bad for a new player to roll up into the tournament just get steamrolled by that right I mean I got steamrolled by it pretty hard I can only imagine how rough it would be for somebody who's brand new yeah Giants are giants are quite good they're quite good I like them a lot I don't use I sometimes use them against chaos dwarves they can definitely catch them off guard if they don't bring like a gunline man oh man they're gonna struggle against Giants but this build uh does not have them this build is not a giant base build all right one second here let's see let's check here someone outstanding all right looks like we're all good so as far as the build goes it is going to be Festus with some foot-based characters and whatnot so I think that's pretty good and we do also have the uh the dreaded aspiring claw and some other aspiring Champions aspiring Champions are really quite good in this matchup because they um they're incredibly difficult to kill with the uh with most chaos stuff right like magnets won't be good against them death freaks won't be good against them um some of the more effective choices you would have against the aspiring Champions might be the bull Center renders or the kadai fireborn which I think Festus probably would be able to outgrind so obviously on this map what we want to do is we want to push objective three and push objective two objective one's a little bit of a liability granted we will send a couple Marauders over there just as a you know to kind of test the waters but our main play is going to be on objective three and objective two here so yeah we're playing card kark's a top player in the world right now we played him last time we did defeat him with our Warriors of chaos before but we'll see if we can get so fortunate to do so again all right so we got our goon squad we got you guys and the aspiring Champions are excellent they just like really grind super effectively against chaos orbs and are really really tough for them to kill yeah I love it man this is really really fun Festus is great here I'm trying to think of other viable picks I mean valky is good here um billage probably is just you know subpar and most matchups but yeah valky would be pretty good archeon could still be viable but the problem is everything he hits is gonna have like 15 resistance against his damage type which is fire so I think that's a little bit of a problem all right checking all right let's do this and looks like we're good to go all right good luck have fun to Clark let's see what he's got so uh looks like we got a skull cracker uh skull cracker and the Demon's tongue so he does have the rors interesting uh these guys should be in group two I don't know why they're not and yeah so he's got a lot of anti-infantry Chariots so basically we just kind of hang out in the trees and we summon in the old uh old trolls to block them up so trolls are like you're a good Masterpiece looks like he's mainly going for yeah skull crackers iron demons iron demons and demons tongue ooh this actually could be kind of hard I don't know if I have the tools to deal with that that's really like a really really heavy SKU build like all in on kind of one style of play right so it starts getting some trolls out we'll summon a manticore next yeah he's got like all the demon engines wow iron demons skull crackers skull cracker that's nasty all right so let's move our characters up we've got a couple Marauders heading up on the far side and they should be able to fight off like labor type units chaosdorf still do have the bug to capture weight so we gotta watch out for that but no it's it's more I think about the value trading here we'll have to see uh man score is gonna be our next call we have one chaos troll to rule them all one to bind them and uh we're gonna see what he wants to do we're gonna just basically hide in the trees here and if he wants to come all the way over there that's fine with me so let's just pull back pull back and get you guys moving up head up to the point here so let's do this yes yes come just like so and then we can kind of Crash down to the middle yeah so it looks like he's chasing here which I'm okay with we can just again like I said run and if he wants to chase over there he might catch us but we can always summon out some sort of a monster to attack him like some armored castros or even the hell scourges hellscar just do have decent armor piercing uh not armor piercing excuse me speed so we can catch those things but um yeah subjective is going to be opening up here in a second so what we'll do is we'll put you in group five can't be on the back of the objective get Festus and Company heading to the middle and the rest of the Goon Squad will come here and now that he's kind of given up Chase here we pull back this way and we we go start pressing that objective The Festus goon squad should be very very tough to handle I think I I would wager that is going to be the case all right so let's get you get another troll coming up and let's see what kind of damage we eat from this yeah let's see all right so great weapons move out we have the trolls let's get the trolls moving in and outstanding and Festus and Company can head here these guys can just camp in the tree line and uh yeah it's time to fight man we got the uh the big boys here front line fighting let's go let's get the aspiring champions in here let's move in and put Festus on the healing Aura and it looks like there's gonna be some nastiness as the dread trains are on their way in okay they've engaged and we do have our trolls nearby so let's get the trolls around the back get these trolls up here and yeah it looks like we're taking a little bit of damage on our router characters but honestly not too bad okay so there's gonna be the hell Hammer let's get you guys across on the far side you guys engage and those are chaos for four years as well okay so yeah we're not taking too much damage with festus's healing taken into account looks like it is going to be Foghorn Leghorn here and those come around the back with the trolls and have those guys engage and the other trolls can come up on the front and engage with them and obviously we're taking some casualties but uh it doesn't seem too bad all right rancid visitations we can drop it here let's get on the trolls looking good let's get you guys in and on this side we can go ahead and get some armor trolls as well to kind of help against the chaos Warriors who are setting up at that point basically all right so we have the healing we're taking a bit of damage from The Dread trains and uh could drop the mortise engine here which but I still think healing's gonna be a little bit better so let's do rancid visitations in the bull Center renders try and wear those bad boys down and he's definitely gonna press that objective um how are the trolls doing in the blob it seems like we're taking care of a lot of his chaff units so let's move on and just steal this middle objective while we can if he's not really going to be defending it and uh yeah overall seems to be going good we did break those bull Center renders the trolls are doing good The Marauder base units are getting run over by his dread trains obviously but you know you should be able to just flip his middle objective right now and just take that one and uh what is this this is gonna be trolls so let's get the trolls in here make him pay the troll toll and yeah the aspiring the severed claw goon squad is is very very strong here so let's go after Foghorn Leghorn we do get the middle objective he's coming back in with the dread train Legion but I think we should just be able to make them pay the troll toll here let's get the old chariots and uh Festus has got his rancid visitations oh wow yeah those trolls are getting hammered which makes sense those things all have like super high weapon strength right uh bull Center renders with great weapons so we need to Pile in and help them and save our trolls and uh let's see what we can do here so maybe pulling some Horsemen to help out let's get some rotors moving back up you guys can move back onto the point here and hopefully the severed Claw is going to be able to kind of carry us into the sunset here all right so you guys get in let's have you guys jump and uh go after a Foghorn Leghorn with the man's core and this objective should be ours I think we're gonna grind this one down in due time and let's get you up here to help out and those javelins should be able to do the trick yeah we have a lot of healing so our sustainability here is pretty good and it looks like we did hold on to this objective and we still are grinding again like all of his units hell Hammer won't do anything here it's all single entities right there so I think we're chilling um this Point's looking okay the match of course come in Foghorn Leghorn is actually taking a righteous beating so I think what we're going to do is just cast rancid visitations on him and uh try and get the get the Goon get the snipe all right so you guys sit and let's just kind of keep throwing at these and uh I think we need some more chaff here to try and win this point um so let's get some health scourges up and have the healthcare just go and help out against the bull centaurs although maybe coming over this way would be better I don't know it's a hard to make these decisions Foghorn leghorn's looking mighty low but Festus seems to be in good shape we did break this position the bull Center renders seem to be losing that fight so I think we're okay so far very very pitched fight but remember we have a ton of healing and he doesn't so the healing and these like ugly blob fights is certainly going to be favoring us all right let's get back into the point back onto the point here and uh Health scourges can try and hunt down these hobo goblins and once again we need to keep that grind going here um do we have any more chaff units we could stand up yeah we have some more Marauders we can just kind of get those guys hustling up to the point here and the uh character blob yeah we're able to kind of force him back so let's uh we got the middle objective we have this objective so all three of the points are pretty much trash can here so it seems like we're okay we have our fast Speedy units doing the work of the Gods as we probably pull these Horsemen back right there and fastest and Company let's just keep that blob fight going this is exactly what we want just keep chasing these trains down and uh getting those ugly ugly blob fights so we managed to hold on to this point Foghorn leghorn's back so let's get some trolls to chase him um as a matter of fact he's kind of in a bit of a precarious situation so let's get some hounds and see if we could just like nibble him before my opponent can do the unsummon yeah let's get you guys running across the map here and uh the Dragoon squads of the trains so we can pull back and just secure the objectives and how's this one looking yeah it's not the best it's certainly not the best all right let's do this pull you guys back and uh we have the nibbling hounds coming to chase Foghorn here and let's get you guys moving up there all right so we're pulling back we could just start healing for sure and we can also maneuver some of the dudes over to the side objective we have to just kind of mirror the trains we have the objective Advantage which is good and I think we're eventually going to start pulling an advantage here on this point too let's get some hounds and have them attack the bull Center renders their infantry size so we're pretty resilient there looks like he's gonna be heading over to this point and Foghorn is almost dead he's really actually quite low let's get that man's core over and have him go after Foghorn uh getting a leadership penalty on the chaos dwarfs would be really really nice and excellent excellent I think we're gonna win this side point too and get a Triple cap on him that's the thing about like the train style play right it's uh it's it's strong and all but it's you know it can't it's kind of really really good in its blob situation all right so we got his Lord who's gonna get pinned over there and now we're going to move this way head you guys back to the middle objective and just take like our our blob squad over there all right so let's try see if we can finish Foghorn he's wavering and up on this point we need a little bit of mass so let's get some Speedy slanesh boys up there to try and hunt them down uh the middle objective should be held comfortably and here we're starting to make our way up to the point let's do this and uh we get the trolls moving back in there and I think it's only a matter of time before that points hours all right so fog corn and Company uh looks like we did kill him so if Alcorn is down let's go after the uh the skull cracker right here and move here and now we got hell scourges coming up to help so let's get them and uh hopefully our characters will make it in time regardless I think we're ahead um this objective is gonna flip to us like 100 we're gonna get that I think and uh we can get some rotors have you guys keep moving up to the middle to support and give cap weight and we have gotten on so he's got his labor blob we're gonna switch to the mortise engine just to kind of drain all these bad boys down and move in here we got the mantorus as firing Champions holding on like Champions and uh I need to finish that thing off to make sure it doesn't do any more damage so he's gonna flip this objective temporarily but at the end of the day we're gonna get it back pretty quickly and we are up on points and the middle is looking pretty comfortable let's send some more trolls over here yep looks like we managed to take this one down so let's uh go after this and get you back here and uh yeah you can see this objective we actually ended up holding it Festus was able to mortise engine I think it's JG I think his strategy was pretty uh scary but a little bit of a gimmick for sure like yeah a little bit of a gimmick all right let's pull this way pull this way and get some more Health scourges coming in the Vanguard points on this map are so far our back all right so let's go up here and you guys can be um summon move up there make sure to poke those guys down and how are we looking here all right so all those labors are being routed you guys just hold on the point you guys holding the point let's get you coming across Festus and Company can waddle back towards the middle and hopefully we can take down those bull centaurs as the subjective so doesn't flip for us it has not flipped all right so let's get the hounds moving in and where are their health scourges are they nearby yeah we want them to come help stabilize this objective so we can get the Triple cap against him for sure Festus and Company should be able to kind of anchor this position down very very Scrappy and what do we got in the back and we have some more Horsemen I think yeah some Horseman just coming up and getting some sweet Javelin fire would be nice let's do some unsummons a little bit housekeeping and you guys move up you guys move up Healthcare just did get the engage there but are being swarmed a little bit and you guys all move up and we can go into melee mode and just try and get that Triple cap if we get the Triple cap we can maybe seal the deal so we get our goon squad here let's get these Warriors there and these hounds can keep nibbling on these hobo goblins and we do maintain the capture weight so we've kept them from flipping our points multiple times and we're getting to a situation where we might just try and hold for you know a double cap here all right let's move up and uh is there anything Speedy we want to bring in probably some throwing axes to try and drag down those trains of Doom would be very very good but regardless let's get up on the point and see if we can flip that um this side's looking pretty comfortable I would say um and Festus yeah he's just hanging out in the middle we have the throwing weapons here which can just throw let's get the match scores and trolls move again and go after the bull centaurs yes inspiring Champions can also help out let's get Festus in there to help and we do have another ranted visitations which is quite nice bubble goblins are shattered let's get throwing weapons and this objective is going to be flipping for us which is excellent and it's not like our blob here is weak we have a very very decent blob there um he's trying a little bit of Mobile cheekiness on the side but I don't think it's gonna matter we have so much healing that um yeah we we're way ahead on value like way way ahead he's definitely in the pits right now and even if he Recaps this let's make sure to park on the side of the objective get some more Horseman coming up and uh the Marauders yeah Marauder's just going to kind of push you guys back uh we can come this way but you know we're kind of playing a bit of whack-a-mole here let's pull you guys back pull you guys back and get these two Horsemen units in group four we can micro them together hell scourges yeah still holding the med Bay it's a nasty nasty little push here he's on the objective and we're not so we need to get some buffering up there let's get some basic Marauders if possible you guys get back on the point and it looks like he does flip this one granted we can probably just come and flip it back so yeah so let's get Horsemen over here this is clear secure this and it looks like he's going for a Ninja on our far side point which hopefully the Marauders will get there in time we'll see we pass this is moving into grooving let's go here and we have our Marauders hanging out on this point so let's get these Horsemen coming and we need to get these guys up behind them hell scourges rear charge into the back the mortise engine draining probably going back to Healing is gonna be prudent we do have another rancid visitation so let's um try and nail you all these machines gains are unbreakable but let's see if we can start to wear down the Demon's tongue to eventually get a snipe on that all right so you guys get up and let's get some more Marauders here to try and close out the game all right Marauders come up this way and uh back on to the point we go with our death star our Horsemen unfortunately getting karate chops a little bit but Festus and Company should be able to kind of keep him from capping there we got more broaders coming how's this side looking a little bit dicey a little bit dicey for sure the fact that the kale storms have the bug capture weight could come into play now but I think we're just gonna get this one and uh be A-Okay all right so let's start into these chaos for four years let's get you guys doing your thing you can see the Demon's tongue is still cackling all the way to the bank but we need to make sure to get on there and uh how are we looking in the middle we got that one held down and are our dude's gonna get there in time yeah but he's actually gonna flip that one but so we need to get this one back soon um he's gonna make a play for the middle objective so let's go ahead and get some more Motors coming out yes more Marauders please and this objective is gonna flip for us so now let's start heading back to the middle because he's gonna rotate for the middle objective Roder Horseman throwing axes do your thing you guys go intercept these guys and then we just kind of kite them back with this this objective is going to flip to us and we have a couple units who can pop out of the bushes and try and grab that and I think the Marauders will probably be able to get this one back eventually especially if we call in some Hound units to go nibbling so let's get some hounds to get around the back and just kind of take apart those those units there all right so how are we looking here yeah it looks like he might be able to get through to the middle objective but we do manage to take this one back which is outstanding a couple aspiring Champions here and let's get you guys here and we need some more units up there ASAP you know this has got to be tight man this is going to be kind of tight he's playing it very very dodgy here or kg I should say but I think the value Advantage I have in the battlefield is a little bit too much and uh he's gonna be taking big value deficit trades because of the uh because of the uh you know desperate grabs he's going for here basically all right so let's get you guys back um this objective is being held by us looks like these are some hobo goblins and we'll move up onto the point Festus needs to have his mortise engine on against like a blob like this and the trains are uh definitely causing some Havoc but this objective belongs to the gods the dark Gods you know it depends on which dark God you're into but this one's gonna be ours sorry let's keep moving through move you up move you up and uh did I turn off in-game audio and see sorry it's back we love the stick all right so nurgle's back in business baby looks like you got a skull cracker here probably not gonna be quick enough we're gonna get this middle objective back super fast so we just need to move past them and get the mortise engine and let's get some Hound units Hound units can come up here help stabilize this for as long as possible and he's obviously gonna flip this so now we just kind of play the other two objectives right so I don't know let's get up here let's get up here I'm pretty sure we're pretty close to winning on just one objective so yeah it's more detention all these guys down get some rotors going this way hounds come across and Hounds can come up and under here we're not going to be able to hold that objective there so we just play the other two we're basically basically playing whack-a-mole right now you know he's he's desperately trying to get these points back but we can keep playing whack-a-mole all day and uh it will certainly favor us all right so Marauders Marauders you guys hang out and uh trolls can now that we have some more trolls back we should be able to Club those machines when they come in the trolls are very good against those and uh we have a couple Horsemen we kind of forgot about which is okay so the Festus engine is doing it let's keep the severed claw in the middle so the severed claw can stay here and guard the subjective which is something I should have done a little bit sooner and then we can just bring Festus over and get those fat drains so he's coming in with the dread trains again but we're not gonna relinquish so easily this time because we're gonna have hounds and trolls and you guys can head back to this point here and let's get some health scourges as well for fast capture weight to threaten the cap here so get those guys back and then I think we flip this one although maybe we just hold this Middle Point yeah because we went on one so let's get fastest and Company back all right so trolls get in there go after the skull crackers yes we ignore the side point because we might actually just straight up win it on a regular grind hey thank you for the kind words even though it's not my birthday I do greatly appreciate it so two can play the whack-a-mole game brother Two Can Play that so let's get some routers up and uh and yeah this this style that he's doing would probably have no chance of working if chaos sort of capture weight wasn't I mean it would be okay but it would be way weaker without the chaos store of capture weight being bugged right see I still didn't fix it sadly but yeah I don't know might do it via mod so not enough for rancids he does flip the objective here but uh then we flip the objective on the other side and we also will be getting this one back in a moment let's get some Speedy boys up there if we can so let's get some Horsemen just for the capture weight and grab this Festus and Company should be able to get this objective back as soon as he leaves and uh yeah let's hope for the best here do we sell the severed claw fighting on it we do so this ever Claw is on the objective we do flip this one back and now the healthcare just can move up and uh yeah we got warm Waters heading to the point and hobo Goblin's getting taken out here we have a couple laborers see these labors would not be able to cap if the capture way is correct it just wouldn't it just wouldn't go down like that all right another healthcarriage on that side objective but mortise engine will probably get this one down his Lord is dead so his whole Army's taking a big penalty and here we use the health Riders of slinash to keep them from capping that point are there Miniatures for aspiring Champions that's actually a good question I don't know off top of my head yeah and uh the labor the labor cheese will not Avail him here today all right let's move up move up and uh the middle objective is ours and the health scriders of selenash need to get in there and shut them down let's get a man's core to see if it can maybe finish off some of these very low Demon's tongue I haven't been able to catch them but still got it baby let's go still got it that that build is really stressful to play against though it's like just high speed mobile um yeah value is pretty respectable I mean there was a lot of infantry for them to run over too so they were shooting infantry running them over I think if he hadn't lost um astragov he could have won the game like maybe having that character around but like all of his labor or leadership was super low but centaurs did okay they're more bounced now severed claw grind was good as firing Champions are solid like he just couldn't deal with the Death Star our death star either so he was always forced to run um but yeah GG well played geg well played yeah Clark is very Scrappy he is a great player all right so where are we at let's report the scores in round one today the dark Gods we're bringing the win rate back up baby all right so the win rate for the dark odds is 39 as of this start of the tournament let's see what we can get it to at the end I don't know if anybody else is playing them today but um all right did he there he is okay he already reported the score looks good did we have like two people drop there that's very strange okay so we were actually one of the first not first ones to finish but certainly finished pretty quickly there so we'll see what happens aspiring Champions have been pretty good in the past couple of patches honestly they're just overlooked um because of the other overpowered things but aspiring Champions they're like a good grind unit they don't like do a ton of damage but they're really sustainable capture weight because they have five capture weight and it's really hard to kill their models so they give you good sustained grinding on objectives um the severed Claw is is an auto take I think Reginald than most matchups yeah it's uh it's it's really really uh it's really really strong I just like seeing the chaos Gail storms are strong for sure they're they're a good faction I think they're sitting around what 55 win rate let's check so we head on over to Tavern right now thank you guys all for joining today try to start a little bit earlier for my boy Professor punt you have the day off and asked if we could have an earlier well you didn't ask but he wanted to play some Total Wars we had an early event for him here and uh let's go take a look at the stats so currently kale storms are sitting at 55 win rate very respectable you know a top five faction interestingly enough a couple of strong players carrying the wood elves and dwarves and they should probably just not play them again to keep those win rates up but uh we'll see Dark Elves doing pretty good 12 and 10 nice ogre kingdoms steady Empire pretty steady Empire is like always at 50 like no matter who plays them they always just lurk around 50 words of chaos we brought them up yep 13 uh and 20. so up to 39 and a couple other factions in the pits but we'll have to have to see how they do this tournament um wrong thing that's from an old tournament and there we are yeah the dark gods are doing good pone you won your first game outstanding dude outstanding that's what I like to that's what I like to see where's arrowcraft the key still plays casually yeah yeah he's he played competitive for a long time so understandably um all right all right so taggy gotta do some admin stuff what is correct score GG well played so just gotta see what the correct score is and a couple people made some admin stuff all right and I gotta fix this tournaments and we'll fix that as well thank you guys all for joining today it's gonna be a full day of sweaty uh sweaty action that's for sure all right so we've got to fix your Swiss points all squared away before we get into the next round and uh life will be good hoping you join in yeah Lord bacon you got to get in here man yeah dwarfs and wood elves are not top tier just played by very good players yeah that's my impression as well that's my impression as well yes yes what are you playing today hadris in opponent I know you're playing Still Nash that's that's your jam any news on a new faction where yeah I'll be doing one soon I've been yeah I thought about playing Diablo I know that the early thing is coming today but um I don't know man I don't know what do you guys think do you think it's worth playing what have the early Impressions been I like I went to go buy Diablo I was like excited for it you know because I played Diablo 2 as a kid and I saw like all this like battle pass and like all this like stupid like that and it just totally turned me off and I was like I was like man I don't know yeah I don't know man Okay so let's fix your score fix this and we will fix that and be all set okay and so that guy's doing some admin stuff if it did all right so we gotta switch the scores on this match zero and that looking good that is saved yeah you're gonna be playing all night I know I'm I'm like tempted to join too D4 looks good but blizzard yeah Blizzard's pretty awful nowadays I know I just like the man it's just like so greedy and just I don't know it it depends if there's like a if there's not a pay I don't mind like Aesthetics as much but if there is a Pay to Win thing where you can get like more experience from a battle pass and that type of thing that that's definitely the the type of thing that would be like a big turn off for me right all right so let's get you and see where he's at okay looking good and looking good yep scores look correct I think although did he not get that no he should not have that okay so we got to change this you don't need the battle pass to play yeah it's only skins that's good it's just for cosmetic things that's that's good to hear maybe I'll do a stream I used to uh I used to be a big Necromancer player like back in the day I used to just love playing Summoner necromancers granted they're always like a little bit bad in the late game like I found that Summoner necromancers unless you had like crazy good gear like really powerful Rune words back in Diablo 2 would kind of fall off a little bit but um yeah you know something to think about something to think about it's only Cosmetics that's good that's good to hear right how your people reporting their scores wrong reporting themselves losing all right I think we're all set all the drama has been averted and as far as the next round goes we have a couple games just wrapping up here but um if you're playing in the tournament by the way do you see any issues with your score please do let me know man the um Warriors of chaos feeling pretty good though honestly like I feel like they have a good matchup for scale stores like a good one um I'm trying to think of bad matchups for the Warriors of chaos bertonia I would say is probably britonia favored realize that amp damage and corpse explosion yes dude yes that is the way yeah that's the way yeah I feel like the britonian matchup is definitely favored for britonia that feels like it's a very very tough one um I have yet to figure out like I feel like Grail Knights just kill everything like like all your infantry is gonna die to Grail Knights I guess you could go very elite with like Chosen and healing and have like a super wide infantry build like I almost feel like uh against vertonia doing like a Festus children of nurgle build so instead of going for the big heels you just go for the smaller spells and spam them um I wonder like how the damage reflection would work like curse of the leper so you just do something like this and you're just spamming cheap spells to get the children of nurgle which heals your army for one percent of their HP every time you cast it so like a chosen which has what how much HP like a 10 000 almost yeah so it'll heal every time you cast a spell it'll hear you heal your chosen for what a hundred around a little bit over 100 HP yeah Warriors of chaos feel great they're really really fun to play but I'm thinking like maybe something like like a chosen heavy build right with severed claw and then even just more Warriors just like a really meaty build could maybe be good against brutonia I don't know I gotta figure it out it's something to go to the drawing board for but chosen do trade very well into all the britonian stuff and they're super resilient against the Archer fire but um yeah no man Brittany is stuck they're tough they're very very tough I gotta figure out how to how to deal with them with Warriors of chaos um my counter pick against petronia in a tournament if I was like in the best of three or something probably still would be the Empire I'm thinking like I think War wagons are still very good at picking off those units and just throwing like cheap state troopers into the uh into the lances is probably the way to go but yeah thoughts on Azazel um he's okay yeah I don't know I like I'm more of a nurgle enjoyer myself like I prefer the nurgle play style so fast this is usually my go-to but um if we look through my builds let's see so we have siegfold Festus Festus Festus Festus Sig bald Festus Festus uh sigwald Festus Sig Vault uh valkia Festus archaeon Festus and then archaeon again so there's there's a little archeon you know a little sprinkling of valkia um but I don't have builds for every matchup yet one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen so I have 16 of the 23 matchups built out so far turn halbert's with nurgal damage reflect is good against Calvary I'll have to try that I didn't fix my Swiss I already fixed your score Ash and you're all good man yeah you're all good there shouldn't be any drama if you go to the website and refresh it now you'll see that your score is looking good looking sweet and tasty and uh you should be all good my friend let me know if there's any issues though and we'll uh we'll go from there is a must pick um in the slanesh matchup not necessarily because he's very slow so you can kind of get in a situation where you're uh you know on a big map if you have kugaf against they're going to be able to kind of play the other two objectives and you're just gonna be a potato so in some circumstances having a faster character might be better like uh like a Herald or a demon Prince of nurgle with feta Buna and spirit leech you can um you can pop down like slinash gallery and mobility and different things like that yeah so there's there's Colac is okay he's okay yeah I lost the dwarves I didn't know the approach to that matchup oh man somebody in chat sad they lost the dwarves oh no yeah I fixed all your score though so you should be fine when the last time you played wood elves it's been a while dude I'm not good at what elves uh Christian says why has nobody created a Bible replacement for Starcraft 2 well that's what Frost Giants trying to do that's that's the whole marketing with them right is that they're going to be the next Starcraft um so we'll see we'll see yeah hopefully it's good I would love to cover it I would love to properly cover a proper solid like really really just pure RTS game yeah colic healed by a nerdle shrine against britonia is an interesting idea the only problem with the shrine is you have to like build it up so it kind of feels bad um I mean you could also just go with a dragon ogre shag if against britonia and then bring like a nurgle sorcerer Lord so you could go with a um where is he yeah so chaos sorcerer Lord you slap him with nurgle and then he um you get the nurgle Spells he's got passive healing which is good you could slap him on a war Shrine too Invasion children of nurgle Paragon and Decay and then maybe just go with like fleshy abundance and uh my asthma and then maybe you go like shagged like something like this this is kind of an interesting idea that that's like a hard to deal with Death Star you could also do a slaneshi shrine to get the mortise engine effect but that wouldn't be that helpful I don't think yeah that wouldn't be too helpful Cowboy says had a tough loss to houseplant yeah was the game close to tough foe what was the matchup like did you guys bring some cool units and we got one game finishing up so if we take a look we'll be jumping into the next round in just a second thank you guys for hanging out today we got Caboose here versus the MOG and um that is going to be it Professor pohn getting the dreaded by round so we'll see hopefully it doesn't give a yeah let's see so we had two people drop which is weird we had like two people play each other and they both dropped from the event or maybe one of them did I don't know that's a very very strange thing well anyone's everyone's basically done so we're gonna get another strong opponent here in the next round um it should have given Professor pohne a score let's see if it did yeah you see there's something where the Buy Round isn't giving score properly so I need to make sure he gets a point for that because the Buy Round technically counts as a win how do you feel about Total War um total warfare it's not my cup of tea just because you know I I really do love the fantasy stuff um but again I like it could be fun like I haven't really had a chance to take a deep dive into it and whatnot so um need to see a lot more before I draw conclusions but really like I'm so I feel like we're so spoiled by Total War warhammer's battles yeah so it's it's got to be tough It's Gonna Be Tough All right so phone should have one point here so I'm gonna fix that before we generate the next round it was a 10th Skirmish phase and then I almost uh and then I lost your ah it happens it happens to the best of us don't worry about it you'll be back in the next round and the great thing about playing house plant in the beginning is you're gonna have a very strong tiebreaker he's probably gonna win the rest of his games you know if history says anything so um you have a good chance of making top four if you win the rest of your games thoughts on rancid nurgle sorcer with corn hero goon squad I think it's very good um but I would probably instead of the nerdle sorcerer go Festus so then you have the healing option because then if you need to heal your characters you can pull them back to Festus right um all right so the last game is still going and it's time it's just time yeah I'm just such a Festus enjoyer man like the utility of him being able to switch and heal like yeah this guy and horse is pretty cost effective for sure um but like oh man Big Daddy Festus is I know he's slower but like if you have the two nurgle characters after they use their potions they're still gonna want some healing right so you probably you probably pull back to that hey Grandma how you doing man hope your tournament hosting has been bardzo dobja now where are we with our last game uh they have six minutes to finish their match before the regulation ends and uh then we would start the next round if people don't finish their matches what we usually do is you know it almost never I don't think it's ever happened in one of my events usually everybody finishes but um but the theory is that we give them both a draw and just move on because there's a lot of people waiting around right so I need to do anything to take over for someone who dropped or is it automatic if I'm checked in um so let's see here so you are who are you in the Discord shoot me a message and I can probably add you in for one of these drops players really quick all right so scrolling up yeah I see you all right so let me add sub you in for one of the drops players I don't know why it's like a weird TBD thing hopefully it doesn't cause any issues in the brackets but it should be fine so I'll try adding you in but there's a chance it might not work and then we wouldn't so max I'll take care of you right now I'm gonna add you in and uh give you a a buy victory in the first round and then uh yeah you should be good his chin is filled with milk yeah no I'm gonna get the Festus tabletop model actually so yeah who played this match it's like it was weird it says to to be determined then they both dropped so strange all right so yeah that looks fine okay let's see if this works like they both dropped both those players that played each other even though one of them won it was a tomb King's first nurgle matchup very strange very very strange indeed all right so let's do this see if that works and Max um you should be in the event now yeah so you should be there let me check make sure your score matches everything and update your score here so you play somebody in the next round who has the same score as you Festus gives me hope for the future if a big chubby guy like that can uh be a success in life yeah Miracle does inspire hope you know all of us middle-aged out of shape folks Festus is truly uh a Beacon of Hope which I certainly an understatement uh we got one game going still yeah just one just one and hopefully the adjustments I did to the brackets don't cause any issues or anything like that oh my God yeah so trajan I played I went and played Magic the Gathering last night I played Commander um in my John iranicus deck it it got its first win it was so funny I was just giving like the most janky shitty creatures to everyone and they were just oh it's such a good time it's a really fun deck it's the most fun deck I've ever played in Commander I think like it hands down I I love playing it time for it yeah yeah it's a good time all right looks like everybody wrapped up here and uh I think we're ready for the next round so please for the love of the dark Gods uh do not bug out all right so let's advance to Swiss come on sometimes when you like fiddle with the brackets and add people late it can like make be problematic but I hope it's not the case scrolling down and let's see how this looks hey it works all right you son of a gun we did it yeah baby all right we got all Rick Roll I think he's playing ogres ogres I think should be pretty good against gate Warriors of chaos um so all Rick let's get him and do this good luck have fun all right all right so Ulrich will be on his way and we are going to be playing ogre kingdoms vintage Cube yeah there's a guy in my hometown who actually has uh who has access to that like a vintage group he's got all the old cards been playing since the Dark Ages all right so it's gonna be it says the next map it's a me it's a all right let's get Itza here all Rick is gonna be our opponent so he should be on his way over I'll Rick another very strong player we just we just fought Clark so I'm pretty happy win or lose like even if we drop a game to Ulrich Ulrich is a top tier player who's likely to go his odds of going undefeated are pretty good so he's a strong tiebreaker for us which is good like if you're gonna be playing hard opponents you know you're rewarded for it uh when it comes down to the tiebreakers yeah the age of Sigma arcan model is really cool there's yeah there's no denying that it's really really cool um all right so it looks like everybody got in uh the games are up yes yes and uh Professor pohne is battling let's see who he's playing he is battling uh charts of rtk so probably gonna be playing in some wood elves all right so let's see what all Rick is doing here it looks like I was tagged by someone or other somewhere in the realm let me look here one of my uh one of the admins in our Discord he just like tagged me in the uh in the chat where usually like if there's some spam or something you know they alert me to it but it just said happy birthday oh my God he trolled me pretty good oh you son of a gun I actually went and looked I was like I was like oh man is there some issue in the Discord how dare you dude yeah I dare you all right so let's see is he here you here you hear all Rick uh let me find out what he's playing so I at least can start doing a build I'm pretty sure he's over kingdoms but let's see what he's doing I haven't had a chance to play this matchup yet so I'm kind of interested to see what it's gonna entail okay so Ulrich is playing scrolling up let's see what the man is playing oh Rick where are you I know you're here somewhere don't make me give a Buy around to myself he would probably wait just long enough so I couldn't get in and cast the game I think he's ogres though and I know it's not that late where he lives it must be like 10 p.m or something so okay I think he's ogre kingdoms yeah I'm pretty sure he's the big chunguses all right so we'll start building as if it's ogre kingdoms anyways because I'm pretty sure that's what he's playing so let's get the art blocker up and we can look at our ogre kingdoms build yeah some forbidden ogre kingdoms Tech would certainly be welcome I feel like archaeon isn't the worst Choice against ogres like he's a pretty menacing character um yeah I have like a build against ogres right now which I feel is pretty pretty respectable for sure um that's kind of a Cool Tech which I like I don't know how good that would be though man that seems like a really really strange strange way to approach things um also probably yeah I mean halbert's fam is viable but the problem is novel our Trappers are just so cost effective they're so good uh I sent Discord invite all right he's coming he's here we got a match on our hands yes yes so I sent Ulrich the information via Discord let's send it to him here also and we are good all right so this is an interesting Tech that hadris helped me work out we haven't really had a chance to test it yet but I'm quite curious if it's going to be effective um yeah that looks nice and then we have this as well okay I feel like we're missing a couple key components here like aspiring Champions feel like they could be pretty good against against them as well um so the chaos Searcher we have him that I think alwick all Rick was britonia oh he's britonia okay so this is an interesting chance to I thought he was ogre kingdoms but if he's britonia we'll see what he gets into the lobby here so he is on the way all right so we send the invite out so now we're just waiting this first time I've seen something wholesome as chaos yeah no hey chaos chaos gets there else gets there remember the olden days when I mainly uh when you made chaos Warriors in game one yeah no they were my so here's my thing I have I have an allergy to overpowered factions like if somebody's overpowered I will not play them just because it there's no gratification for me in winning with something that's stronger than what your opponent has I'd like to either be on equal footing or you know lesser footing to like for the challenge right so like there's if I show up with like you know a top tier 60 65 win rate faction and I'm just crushing people who are playing lesser factions and I'm winning most likely because my faction is just stronger um you know that doesn't feel good to me it doesn't feel good to me I I understand at the highest level that's what you got to do but you know I'm not trying to win major tournaments I'm just here to have fun so um so yeah that's that's how I roll it's always kind of been my downfall in competitive too and like 140k you know it's it's always been my downfall uh all right all Rick man where are you at dawg gotta get you in here all right unspecified error okay so it looks like he's got a Lobby maybe he's on the wrong version of the game let's see John code and see this and let's see if it works he's getting we're getting some weird error with his lobbies I'm trying to join restart your game all right so we're going to be one of the last ones to finish here but Ulrich is getting an unspecified error with his lobbies so uh I will probably restart my game just to be safe make sure it's not on my end but the lobbies appeared visible but I think it's something to do with his game since I literally just played one with no problem so all right so refreshing here let's get this going and let's get the map pack all set up shouldn't take too long to get the old uh the old build together since I already have build saved for most of the mashup so that should be pretty quick all right the chaos gods are back troopertonian's been playing a little bit not as much lately I haven't seen him on Clark is there like every event basically carc is like the ultimate tournament he just gets in there and grinds tournaments um but I haven't seen the trooper challenging around as much lately all right maybe we just need a new Lobby let's do this and uh send him an invite as well invite sent all right we're on it's a and we'll find out what he's playing in a second I like to play underpowered factions so I have a built-in excuse when I lose exactly that's the that's the true reason it's a true veiled reason behind it all Atkins pertonia man is archeon any good like what can archaeon do against britonia he's got what Spirit leech and I guess a big purple Sun could do okay damage I haven't really tested it though so I'm not sure how effective it would be and the problem is archaeon is large and would take a lot of damage from girl Knights now with their armor piercing so it doesn't feel super good to have him there um in my humble opinion yeah an Uber Tony is very very strong they're very very strong but I think more so in the hands of like higher level players I think at like the pits Britannia is not going to be quite as brutal yeah not going to be quite as brutal because they require a lot of micro still you don't want to be leaving your Elite Calvin melee um that being said so it looks like is he playing britonia it looks like he is all right so I'm gonna Theory craft of the build idea I had um I have like a preset build but I have another kind of philosophy that I think could be pretty decent so we're gonna try and make that work pelicore here too bellacor is a little bit too expensive I think um but Lewin lewin's goon squad Lewin gooning is very very nasty too like him pushing and just getting getting crunk is gonna be a problem all right so let's do this yeah that looks like it could be okay so he is indeed for Tonya okay so we got bertonia versus Warriors of chaos yeah archon doesn't have Yuna Buna is still pretty good against the elite Knights for sure so let's go ahead I have yet to beat britonia like a good player on bertonia with Warriors of kale so this will be the first this will be our first attempt here at uh at glory so I'm gonna try something really off The Rocker to see if I can catch him off guard and uh we'll see we'll see how it on we'll see how it all goes for us here it could be bad could be good but um you know I Believe in a Thing Called Love and sometimes you just have to listen to the rhythm of your heart so let's get you and um I think that's good I think we could bring this and we bring this cut that all right all righty I think we're getting there how would you feel about Mark's units slightly more expensive for the marked units are more expensive um how would you feel about making Mark units slightly more expensive for undivided like 20 50 gold more than normal uh I think they're they're already more expensive because of what they do so I think I think it's fine why can I not bring oh it's because my marks are all used up okay so what lore do we want to bring here that's kind of a cool idea too but again very very vulnerable um harkion is so rad are any of the demon princes viable Festus is cool but he can't be everywhere at once and he's certainly vulnerable to being gooned right whereas like some of the other characters are not okay I don't hate this I don't hate this so far let's get you let's get this and I like that and throw you in there because just a great unit in general the build's got getting a little bit off The Rocker it's getting a little bit crazy um we'll keep this in the back oh man this build I don't know I don't know man it's feeling feeling a little bit a little bit over over the top here and then what do we bring for the rest of the army yeah do we bring just these guys just basic chaff units oh boy oh boy all right so let's uh I think I'm getting a little bit too in my head here about this like about this conspiracy build that I think could be good Harold hammerstorm does he have any teeth here in this matchup I don't know I don't know Harold hammerstorm is very very cool though so let's throw you in there um maybe a couple of these for utility yeah I think that's not a bad idea the problem is all of your anti-large like lose horribly to the britonian anti-large so I think like bringing those type of monstrous units isn't going to be as viable um all right so other spells we can bring you can do this yeah why not and uh yeah I think that's probably the way no Harold isn't only good against Undead I actually have Harold in a couple builds against um non-undead factions yeah I think he's he's got some teeth in some other matchups okay okay wow this is this build's getting Hog Wild it's getting real Hog Wild in here aspiring Champion's not so good here I don't think don't think so and let's get you and let's get you and I don't think we need this I don't think that's what we're looking for here swords of chaos were something I kind of like like dabbled in but um they lose to Grail Knights really badly they're so cool too the swords of chaos are such a rad unit Giants are also not a terrible unit here um if they don't bring a lot of peasant archers like having a durable giant somewhere can be uh incredibly menacing but I think we're gonna go for this type of a build and hope it works out for the best alright so is there anything I can get to afford this and uh I think we're all set here just about ready all right guys this is a wild build this is really wild this is off the deep end you have to deal with mass infantry super effective cab and amazing Lords without any artillery or Archer fire yeah yeah I mean I played this matchup with hadris but that was with my Festus double giant build and it was like close in terms of value but um I would say I was within like even value with him the entire game but the problem is I had to play back in a defensive posture whereas hey race was able to have the entire Battlefield and all the objective not all of them but two of the objectives under his control so I kind of went to the drawing board in terms of like a new build here is being a good to take against girl Knights it is um I went I didn't go at the end of this game though I went with um I went with Festus and it's it's a it's a bit of a funky build you guys are good to see you're gonna see Dave Misha thank you thank you thank you yes I almost forgot the blocker I almost forgot it we saw bookie Club can appear as well although Sigmar is not with us today we're playing the dark Gods after also it's a Trixie one all right where are we at making sure there's no admin stuff to take care of before we jump into our match all right guys so chosen of nurgle the coolest units ever so we got chosen of nurgle as our front line and Festus is going to be rolling dirty with them and if Lewin comes in we have some uh some Marauder Horsemen to kind of screen them out and on the other side we're going to have the um chaos Marauders grabbing the side objective with the severed claw kind of stacked on top of them to give some like anti-large Albert presence and a couple uh throwing axes so it's basically just a super Elite build like I found that chosen of nurgle trade pretty well into the um Grail Knights if they can get them in sustained combat and your opponent slips up on micro so we'll see maximum thank you let's smash some pills and hey I can assure you some peasants are going to be smashed win or lose there will be peasants being smashed by big scary chaos monsters so um yep that's pretty much it look how fun to my opponent he's gonna have foot squares mixed in with you know probably girl nights Girl release different things like that um but yeah the chosen should smash the foot scar is pretty hard they are the great weapon variant so I'm feeling pretty good about it yeah no Festus is the dreaded Reddit mod yeah I know totally he is you got more chosen in reserve and more armored trolls it's a really really cool build um we're gonna summon another troll first right away and just play these two middle objectives I didn't bring any hell scourges which is a bit of a mistake yeah Festus could get sniped but I have Horsemen to kind of poke um and fleshy abundance and also trolls um did you bring Lewin oh he didn't wow okay this is interesting let's move up let's move up and get the horsemen to go do a little bit of harass although he does have archers so the harass is pretty much gonna be offline and uh oh fanchantress okay that actually gives me I think much better chances although the fame chantress um is pretty good mortise against my uh goon squad I'm so used to playing against King Lewin yeah this is gonna be an interesting one Festus what like his healing Aura should be able to Pace with her her shenanigans right um all right so let's get some trolls send them down to the bottom objective move up and that will keep knights from basically just going balls deep into your formation having those units nearby so he does have one unit of Grail Knights and the The Chosen vergle just gonna head to that Middle Point then Cleaver Tony doesn't have any sort of bug to capture weight so what you see is what you get hey we got some throwing axes and actually hit the fan chanters nice I'll take that all the way to the bank and uh yep now we move up and we just enjoy our life that's basically it Festus gonna hide under the trolls and we just use our guys to you know get some sweet throwing ax action here but I think the archers are going to start hitting us so we need to pull back but uh overall we should be able to get this objective let's get some Marauders moving up here to just go attack and uh get our Horsemen back so they don't get popped and up on The High Ground the problem is if I send anything up here he's got those um those peasants yeah let's get one Hound unit to roll up and just start nibbling on these peasants to prevent the cap pull these Horsemen back and move our big Death Star up and the objective should be opening up soon all right so let's get trolls here trolls here severed claw and we will be getting up in that point in just a second let's go get our throwing axes on those girl Knights right there if you're sitting in the Lance formation and let's move up start grinding and oh he's actually going to take the charge my experience chosen of nurgle do not care about Grail Knight charges that much um they're pretty raid boss all right so let's get in on those foot squares looking good and you see what I'm saying like that trade actually isn't bad for us however his peasant Archer fire is really really cost effective here so let's start nibbling those peasants should lose to my uh my doggos and here the foot squares are gonna lose and our Horseman need to get back yeah that peasant Archer fire really really nice for sure but yeah chosen of nurgle basically took zero damage from the uh from that right over here this is going well too you can see the big giants certainly enjoying their best life uh I think I'm gonna save up for another chosen unit we'll have to see the hounds are nibbling The Peasants we should win that and the middle objective should go to us I would wager all right so do we still have some Horsemen back here we do and uh yeah I want to save up for another uh chosen unit but you know it might not be able to afford it we'll have to see all right so the middle objective is definitely going to go for us chosen should win that fight and here you can see we absolutely flatten these guys let's move over to the foot Squires we have the severed Claw at the ready so yeah we need to get a little bit of Support over there let's get more throwing axes and the hounds have enabled The High Ground objective so we can go for this and send some forsaken up here I think that's gonna be a good play like just a quick like fast response to that and the chosen are just gonna bash those foot squares like 100 so now will the severed claw hold is the question yeah we got you guys um is there anything we can call in here we do have our Horseman back which is good looking at the value trading it's pretty even here and uh yeah you can see foot squares are going to lose very very decisively against these uh these this nergo blob all right so yeah we kept him from capturing The High Ground objective those peasants are wavering which is outstanding severed claw didn't care too much let's pull you guys back get that Marauder Horseman value going and what we do is we call it another chosen Albert here in a minute all right so he's running the brave britonians fleeing the scene peasants doing their job and uh forsaken should come up and just absolutely Crush those guys which is good and yeah this fight's a little bit messy here child support potions is going to kill the Marauders but the severed claw isn't going to care too much about that so all right so let's move these Horsemen up to The High Ground and have them support where they can and uh yeah then we can just kind of chill out in the middle and I think it's going pretty good here let's go ahead and drop a plushie on these uh these shows in here keep those guys topped off we pull back on this point severed claws just bumping and grinding quite effectively actually and I think we're gonna get this point so let's pull these sounds back and uh then we just call up some Elite chosen to hold The High Ground objective and I think we're okay all right so how are we looking here looking pretty good yeah and like look at the severed claw they give no shits dude they are just such a great unit they're so great all right so is he gonna go for the fight there maybe he will I'm not sure here we're gonna see these peasants get mulched rather quickly and then we send a chosen Albert up there because why not they'll be able to hold that point all day and then we just rely on our big scary nergal Death Star to hold the middle severed claw over here still doing pretty good I would say but let's see if we can get them back um get these peasants up here for the capture weight forsaken are gonna just mulch them let's get these hounds over the top and you guys can just come here a couple of shows and did overextend so a little bit of lapse and micro in my part but nurgle chosen you can put them in bad situations and it's not going to be the end of the world um so severed claws retreating hopefully those trolls will rally fanchantress over chasing a little bit which is good all right so let's get the trolls get in there make them pay the troll toll a couple Horsemen coming in and nice we got the trolls back all right let's take these peasants to the club oh yeah dude that's what I'm talking about that's the good stuff right there all right so hounds around the back get those spearmen that objective is going to flip to us in The High Ground my opponent has no points yet we got Marauder Horsemen in here chosen of nurgle are just so jacked oh I love that elite units are good in this patch and look at that we got the severed claw still getting this objective back and trolls also coming back so then we'll send some shows into that objective too I think just let's have a chosen party man um yeah we want the healing elixirs and we're gonna get a big overcasted heal in this Bob and the horsemen will just kind of continue generating value um let's go ahead and get some forsaken up there for like Fast fighting speed to make sure we don't like lose this outstanding we got some hounds let's have them come nibble on these peasants down here and Festus and the chosen blob seem to be doing pretty darn good um a lot of the elite Knights are definitely taking a lot of damage so how are we looking down here yep severed claw and trolls still fighting pretty hard we might actually be able to wrestle this objective back just because of how gangster these severed Claws and let's get our nurgle chosen to pile up on the Grail Knights make sure Festus can get a big overcasted heal can we afford it no not quite okay we're getting there we're definitely getting there but one of our chosen to the front actually getting worn down pretty considerably which is rough but the healing I think should be able to get us there the fanchantress mortise engine is um is very very yeah let's switch to mortise ourselves yeah we're starting to lose the cap weight here which is very very scary but we got chosen we got forsaken here and we have more forsaken coming in to help but they're gonna get wrecked by the Grail Knights so Festus needs to just keep that other chosen like healthy for now all right so how are we looking here yeah we got Knights they're getting worn down uh let's get some hounds out of Vanguard see if they can help nibble through this formation so let's do this get this ever claw going here and uh yeah we gotta we gotta hope they hold here man one chosen unit finally did get worn down we got some poor steak into the backfield trying to help let's pull these guys in um we can call these forsaken down too I think we can't afford to have any units like sitting around here and these guys are just man they're fighting they're fighting pretty hard but Festus does he go in there and provide them more detention I think so forsaken unfortunately being dragged through the mud but it looks like we're gonna flip this objective back I think I think we're gonna flip it back yeah it looks like it let's get on the point get on the point um we have units coming from The High Ground here so let's go for that Paladin the nurgle uh the nirgo boys are holding well let's get the healing elixirs on to try and healing cap those unfortunately some of our dudes in reserve are just getting torn to shreds but hopefully some router horse and throwing axes can accrue a little bit of value for us here pull these hounds back get these trolls moving in send them into the point Marauders into the point and uh trolls need to get on top of the foot squares these hounds can just start nibbling at this all right so do we have a Triple cap right now um no we don't we don't have that third one a couple Marauder Horseman being dragged away but um overall it's not going terribly that child supportions is Gonna Hurt there's not really any dodging that so we just got to pay the troll toll nurgle nurgle units are just too slow so we are going to pay the price the ultimate price there Grail Knight's still taking a little bit of work and uh yeah we got some halibutes coming down from The High Ground beautiful chalice though there was there was absolutely no chance for us to dodge that so we ultimately got bombarded pretty good all right let's get more Marauders up and see if we can flip this point here and uh we got trolls coming across let's go ahead and keep doing this keep doing this keep these forsaken moving these are chosen halberts that he's about to charge into so I'm hoping that'll be a cost effective fight for us um I think we just got to start swarming the battlefield with whatever we can yeah how are those shows in America holding not so good so we need to switch to the mortise engine now and just get Festus out of there Saving Private Festus basically so let's move these chosen onto the point um so we don't lose fastest and get that grind fight going in a more favorable area forsaken gonna get crushed but let's move in and see if we can secure these two objectives right now and yeah Festa should be pretty good here on the grind we do also have a heel for the uh chosen with Alberts so let's hope for the best all right let's move in bed uh these Horsemen need to keep using their throwing axes and this objective is being held by us wow he didn't flip it he didn't flip it ladies and gentlemen and it looks like we're starting to get this point back too do we have Marauders heading over there we do but they're not quick enough all right um let's add another troll up to the middle see if we can make the troll Toby page chosen with halbert's gonna have to certainly uh get their money's worth here a couple uh Elite nergo boys holding over there but peasant Archer is getting some good DACA he's heavily ahead on value with his Mobility right now this is kind of what's been happening to me a lot in this matchup hopefully severed claw can break through some of these units we'll we'll see Marauder's heading over trolls could come back and uh yeah he's got that big cab Advantage but the chosen halbert's here should be pretty money um and might be able to get that objective back eventually so yeah let's hope for the best um is there anything I can send over here it looks like there's gonna be some uh some Cavalry coming over in Open Fields the severed claw might be able to get this point back we'll have to see still nibbling here and we got more trolls coming up hopefully the trolls will bash them at these Knights of the realm get these remnants of The Forsaken to kill the spearmen and hopefully we can just kind of grind it out man hopefully we can um any Hound units I want to call in would that even be helpful here I think Marauder Horseman would be a bit of a stronger choice so let's get them in gotta keep an eye out for rallying trolls and uh up on this point the capture weight is coming back to us Festus gonna be dropping some mortise engine support and the chosen halberds they're they're doing pretty good you're doing pretty good unfortunately we don't get this point we got some trolls coming back which is outstanding so let's uh keep throwing at the grill nights seven to call unfortunately getting ground down and we can move you guys up he just has a bunch of cap coming out of Reserve here Festus back to the middle objective don't want you to die back here although you probably are a couple trolls have rallied let's end the trolls over here see if we can get on this objective and get the throwing axes going after them I think he's got this one unfortunately I still have yet to crack the code although this Elite build has worked relatively well I think maybe a little bit of a tweak is it the Lord Choice I'm not sure well Festus let's get you back to the middle The Chosen Halbert spam could be the way maybe instead of nurgle chosen you get those ones I don't know well let's go with this and hopefully those those boys can just get cost effective anti-large attacks how we look in here let's get some throwing ax support severed claw unfortunately did get broken down and uh we can get some hounds to come in and just try and nibble this objective and just go for a little bit of a ninja situation let's do this throwing axes are still dragging them through the mud a little bit Festus is being escorted around the battlefield by my opponent so you gotta love it I think it's Henri La Massif yes faint answer is mortise Also let's get the shows and halbert's over here and uh trolls have re-engaged into the middle so see if they can finish off these Knights of the realm and man we are uh we are in a really really tight situation here so this objective's starting to flip we uh maybe get the middle back he's got a mass the nasty force in The High Ground but they're just Knights of the realm which shouldn't be too strong against these type of units and we are being attacked here by Henry lamasive so we should definitely fight him if we can Festus can heal himself which unfortunately I didn't want to have to do but you know considering it's either yeah I can't afford to lose my Lord right so we got it we got to get your boy Festus going again a couple Cavalry still going strong over here got more trolls so let's get those trolls up and have them start to grind that point back we have a shitload of healing though guys like an insane amount of healing and yeah the halbertson Henry lamasif I mean we might be able to get him down here those are chosen Alberts man they're they're no joke um he does wrestle The High Ground objective and we have a couple forsaken still lurking let's get you guys up get you guys back onto the point here unfortunately these guys are in a bit of an awkward situation but the troll toll is on its way and they should be able to finish off those Grill nights I think and yeah he's charging into chosen Alberts which is you know As Good As It Gets but they have crazy crazy Masters girl nights so um let's switch to mortise engine and uh get a little bit of a buffering support so let's call you guys in keep him from unsummiting these if possible and hopefully the mortise engine and the chosen halberts can hold but ah man if they break they still have so many models but I think they're gonna break there unfortunately I Festus is kind of keeping him in the fight we got some peasants there and the trolls have intercepted the Grail Knights let's get you guys back on this point here pull these hounds back and the high grounds is looking very very comfortable for him yeah Festus getting isolated is gonna be probably GG um with his chosen ranking and all those characters I don't think we're gonna be able to get it yeah this is a hard matchup dude it's like it's so tough to deal with it because none of our anti-large seems to be that effective all right so trolls have pounded those ground lights maybe just relying on trolls although the chosen halberds I would wager probably got a nice amount of value um at least the mortise engine of Festus is still doing a little something something got these hounds nearby so let's get the hounds in there and see if we can flip this objective it looks like we are going to flip it which is good looking solid hounds move here this could be a situation where we have to try and re-summon Festus which doesn't feel great but it is what it is um do you have any forsaken in reserve now just Marauders okay well sad times we're gonna just send Marauders to go uh get bashed by britonian Cavalry reinforcements and with our Lord being dead it's gonna be incredibly tough to um to get win the leadership fights right okay we got Grill Knights back here let's see if the trolls can get them um they're doing good damage exalt I did use exalted Heroes against Adrians with double giant actually but I find that on a map like itsa the peasant archers are just gonna kill you um yeah we got a blob fight here this is basically Our Last Stand if this fight breaks then we're probably toast and troll leadership is certainly not going to be good when our Lord is dead we could re-sum infest this in a little while but it's gonna be a hot minute and I think he's got it man he played his micro was very very good um yeah Festus is easy to bully but I bet you he did really good this game I think his value was very strong but maybe you do need a big Fighter character like an archaeon or a um yeah I don't know how I would go about this protonia has been like one of the few match-ups I haven't felt confident against Warriors of chaos with Warriors of chaos I don't know what to do darling I better run into the kitchen right now I better hurry yes the severed claws of raid boss yeah they were really good severed Claw is a solid pick I bet you I bet you the chosen of nurgle did quite well also um oh man I'm so wrong holy they did bad look at that and they were like fighting good targets too okay so we got to go back to the drawing board on the chosen build hopefully you guys enjoyed it Festus also you know he provided a lot of healing but yeah I think we have to do a different build Festus I think is better with Giants um with the chosen it didn't seem to be that good okay Elite infantry Army work against dwarfs or dwarfs um yeah they could it's a little bit risky though yeah I don't know let's see so those chosen of nurgle did horribly oh my God what did actually okay for us not much The Chosen halbert's performed a lot better seems the chosen halbert's performed a lot better but the fanchantress yeah the Fey was able to kill the chosen with her more Ascension yeah she got 1900 value Grail Knights 2200 and uh what do we got 25 18 and yeah pretty good value nothing like insane because like these guys cost 1900 right so they're just barely paying for themselves yeah I thought the chosen would be able to grind it but I was wrong GG well played GG well played great game he played well man his micro was very good I I still have to figure out that matchup though I gotta go back to the drawing board on that one yes yes okay so uh uh I will report the score wow we were actually the last ones to finish how convenient is that all right so let me report this so one and o report score Warriors of Chaos I'm sorry dark Gods we didn't get it done for you but we'll figure that matchup out eventually we will indeed all right so that's a victory for bertonia submit yeah I think archeon could be pretty good maybe but maybe you need Buna maybe you do need to be unicaster to um oh no there's still one game going okay so taking a look at the next round let's uh scroll over and look where are we at I think you do need a bunicaster the trolls I like they give you good mass and armor piercing now a village is terrible Village is really bad it wouldn't be Village I think you need magic to um to kill the knights yeah so 2500 but to be fair it makes sense they were fighting pretty elite units and also trolls and stuff um eighteen hundred thousand 475 and uh 2000 so yeah the Grail Knights really did well his micro is very good kolak kolak feels a little bit risky um but maybe maybe he hits hard enough to be good right so let's Theory craft the build we have one round still finishing so lord of the storm might actually be good so you've got lord of the storm a chaos Sorcerer of death um and what do we bring did we just bring the uh life leeching scroll of shielding to get the kolak and put them on until we put him on a war Shrine of some sort no we could get the the slanesh warshine for the mortise engine um but like what sloanesh spells are actually good against brutonian Knights the thing is you could go Selena Shrine and go like pit of shades in like overcast pit on Grail lights that actually doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world and then you get Soul feeder so here's the thing we have a mortise engine we have an anti-large bead stick we don't have healing Reginald saying I think it's just a hopeless matchup I think it's winnable because like Ulrich is a top tier player hadris is a top-tier player and I played this matchup against both of them and it didn't feel helpless like I felt like there was things that could be changed to optimize it um but it is a favorite matchup for britonia I think yeah so Colac plus a Slane Shrine so you have like a sweet mortise engine on the middle of the map and then maybe do you just go super heavy on chaff The Chosen halberds do give you good sustainability where the knights like have to work really really hard no you're never gonna land a slicing shards you're never gonna land a slicing shards on a britonian cab unit ever like it's it's not gonna happen um so yeah we can keep this cut this maybe we do go SLA Nash though and we get we get the Rampage spells so instead of like trying to kill the knights we Rampage them into our halberds at which point it should be pretty good for us um in phantasmagoria so we go pavane we go hysterical frenzy Maybe and we use this combo oh look at that I like that I like that I think that's actually a cool idea and then for the mainline build what do we want to do a hell Cannon seems like a cheeky idea but it's already a very expensive build you could just go double giant with with collect now you can only do one okay I actually think this is a good this is a good style here like the kale sorcerer on the shrine plus collect sounds pretty sweet yeah sounds really really cool hmm all right so let's see where we're at with the round I think we had one other game that was finishing well played all Rick he played very well and let's see what we got in our next match final transmutation could be okay I don't know I I feel like the rampaging them could be a very strong play and all right we're ready for the next round let's Advance it good luck have fun everybody here we are let's get this party started let's have some fun so next up we have Icarus all right so the round is started ladies and gentlemen let's see who we're playing against good luck have fun we are up and let's get the lobby invites and get our opponent here and see if the dark Gods can uh can carry on so for the best Festus a dragon ogres get annihilated by protonian Cavalry I already tested it it's not very good um maybe Summoners of Rage could work but yeah I find that it doesn't go super super well I was thinking like swords of Chaos because swords of chaos actually like fight Grail Knights pretty close I noticed like and maybe a Festus or a nerdal sorcerer healing the swords of chaos could be pretty good so you could also do like a Festus double giant build with swords of Chaos I think there's there's we're they're such a Swiss army knife action Warriors of chaos there's so much Tech to to be attempted so um nope domination mode and we're on board of low Landing we might actually get another chance I think we're playing ogre kingdoms okay so it's gonna be a different matchup all right so let's get the art here and we'll get the screen blocker going and figure it out Collex pretty badass dude he's he's a really cool character it's my opponent playing over kingdoms and uh I do have a build for this yeah I do have a build for this that hey Jerry's and I were scheming the other night but I I don't know will this work I could could perhaps work I think it could have some teeth it's a neat it's a very very neat tech for sure um so we got you this guy do we really want that he's not very useful I feel like we could switch it up and try something a little bit different here so maybe we do this get this this and this and then we can throw you in there this is kind of a cool cool idea though I think this is very fun I I don't know how effective it's going to be but it certainly looks badass and you know looking cool is half the battle right that's that's truly half the battle um so that opens up another Mark of chaos for us so aspiring champions in this matchup do feel like they could be reasonably viable too none of the shrines feel that great um you really use all our chaos marks so one two three yeah I guess we did I guess we used up all our chaos marks knurgle Heroes heal and multiplayer um yeah well it depends on what oh are you talking about exalted Champions and stuff the the nerdal Champions no you have to heal them they don't have any sort of self-healing or anything like that yeah they do not all right do we get more aspiring Champions against ogre kingdoms I feel like they're grind they're like grindiness and they're high weapon damage against light armor could be good probably gonna be facing a fair amount of iron guts I would wager though I feel like that's going to be something we encounter so gotta put some respect on the old iron guts all right and then we throw you in for our last pick for our last disappearing act and uh do you want the Doom totem oh that's a cool item that is a cool item indeed alright so a little bit of cheekiness here I don't know if I like this like Lord choice do we go for something a little bit spicier maybe we do this as well and can we cut the Chevrons yeah you know now this build feels a little bit better yep you know what let's give it a try I it was really fun scheming this one with Adrians and let's see if it works any chance you're using Knights of the Brazen throne in the build um let me look so Knights of the Brazen Throne are man if I were to use knights of the Brazen Throne it would be maybe against like nurgle because they do fire damage and or armor-piercing and anti-infantry so they kind of counter a lot of the nurgle healing and stuff um I don't know Dragon ogres no they don't do well against girl Knights it's not a good trade they have 60 speed so the ground lights like always get the good engagements on them um maybe Summoners of rage and swords of chaos you could have your own anti-large like armor fighting Squad so you could go like Elite stuff like a couple chaos Warrior halberds backed up by like swords of chaos and uh Summoners of Rage with Festus healing them and then like maybe a double giant behind that that could be pretty metal I mean there's a lot of unexplored Tech Guys collect versus ogres is good but you know who else is really really good versus ogres is Sig Vault um sigwald is an absolute Menace he just sits on that objective and ogre Bulls literally can't kill him um he just and he just kills our models he just grinds through them so he's very good um kolek is a slight liability because of how effective the um the uh lead belchers are so lead belchers can really put a lot of hurt on you in this matchup that's the one thing you really got to watch out for and that's part of the attack you're going to see on the build so this The Forbidden Tech is um we got Alberts obviously but we have a hell Cannon now the hell Cannon is there to snipe the uh the lead vultures so what we're going to do is send one halberd Warrior to the back objective to hold that the other three are gonna move up to the middle um backed up by the severed claw just looking super badass snakeball's gonna be there so we have like almost every chaos God in this build we have we have slash zinch um we have a zinc sorcerer on a disc it's pretty good utility um pink fire can clear out Noble or Trappers and then if they have blue fire targets you can also just Spam that and plus on his disc he has shooting so you can just hit him above things and uh oh wait did I bring the wrong wrong one does he have shooting no he doesn't hold anyways you could just sit there and you know disrupt the lead vultures with his charging as well I thought I always get him confused with the uh the iridescent horror one but yeah he doesn't have the same shooting all right so let's move you guys up do this and it looks like we're ready to go good luck have fun in my opponent and let's see how this goes the ogres are coming to get me they are yeah um oh my God it's green it's Grayson time oh no he didn't see now the pressure is really on me if I lose the greases you know we're gonna be we're gonna be in some trouble here so what do we got we have a scrap launcher we have a butcher the great ma um let's go explore his army here a little bit um we could do a little bit of back pressure if he's just gonna be sending noblers over to that back point I don't oh boy he's got some big stuff all right he's got the snow horn oh boy okay do I have anything to effectively kill the stone horn I don't know if I do let's just start killing some of these um I guess my did I bring any trolls thank the dark Gods I did I need some Mass to stop that thing otherwise it's just gonna bully my Army oh my God okay I uh I was not expecting that so we're gonna try starting to take out the caster and uh yeah he I don't think he has anything good his army it's mostly chaff so we're gonna just start the blue fire spam on the uh Butcher of the great mom see if we could just take him out over the course of a battle so looking good and uh we can also get some hounds and send them to the back objective although yeah that did some good work bluefire is a really really good spell and yeah I love that worries of chaos can just take advantage of all these different texts right oh my God he's got triple scrap launcher dear God in heaven this man must be stopped right now before this evil spreads to the rest of the meta all right so let's get go for the back objective here and we'll have another blue fire in a second and let's get behind that pillar to your God in heaven he's done it all right let's keep sniping that caster the trolls are just there to fight the big monsters and thankfully we do have halberd Sigma should be able to take on greases you know what the scrap launcher spam is not bad against my halberds and all like it really isn't um so yeah we gotta watch out for that okay let's have you guys go here you guys go here you guys go here and the trolls need to just follow here and we can get the hell Cannon to start shooting at this literally no good targets for the hell Cannon severed clock go after the big man and uh or caster he could just come back and we can actually do a little bit of cycle charging here and uh take the back objective from him and again taking advantage of some of the Cool Tech we have safe World getting absolutely hammered by this big monster though oh boy hopefully you can he can survive that getting a little bit scary um a little bit scary for sure all right so let's go ahead and blast you if we can it looks like there's gonna be uh some sort of a nuke here but sigwald doesn't stand alone he's got a little bit of support back objective does get threatened so let's get another Hound unit pull it up here do a little bit of supporting pull back into the trees and see if we can get the good engagement so yeah his Lord is taking a little bit of work it looks like we did mostly Dodge that we have the middle objective in sigwald he's pretty hot right now he was able to avoid that so that's good and now we just pull back into the trees and we call in our supporting hounds and then we Ambush that back Point again all right so how are we looking looking pretty good we got a lot of units bobbed up here we don't want to be blobbing and now we have an engagement versus a big greasy and uh let's go ahead and drop another snipe here on this character Sig ball the Magnificent gonna be looking extra fantastic let's have him go after the slaughter Master here and it looks like he's coming here but now we have the 2V1 so we can pounce with both those units uh as far as summons go let's get another armor troll in there I think we need more mass to deal with this build and uh yeah the halberds should handle most of these units all right Sig vault give them the the blessings of slanesh halbert's are grinding here but we need a little bit of support nearby so let's call these Alberts over this way sick ball chasing that character but not good work out and uh yeah looks like this back objective is going to be pretty good for us all right so let's drop a blue fire on his head and bonk him save ball needs a little bit of halberd support he doesn't want to be fighting that monster let's get you around the side uh hell Cannon honestly there's like I feel like there's not much to shoot here for us it's a it's a weird situation it's for sure weird let's get an exalted hero in there they're pretty good just like have him grinding up on the point oh the Power Fist all right so one more blue fire should do the trick would you have a lot of support Graces is getting swarmed you see if I had gone cold like greases actually could have had some teeth here but um oh oh my my poor chaos dwarves gonna get pounded here it looks like do I have anything that I can summon in a panic to defend my hell Cannon I totally forgot it's because the hell Cannon wasn't doing anything good so I was like I don't need to protect it but yeah anyways we'll see if we can let's get some hounds out see if we can stabilize the chaos dwarf crew back there and these halberts just valiantly holding on to the objective all right so let's grab you we get skystriders move again skystriders won't do so good against the halberd blob and uh the blue fireman is on his way the blue fireman group let's keep clearing out knob Lars here and uh the hell Cannon should be stabilized the fact that we got those hounds there quick enough I think is gonna do it oh Grace this is in trouble sigwald's almost got him I think this game's over though we got his Caster trapped here and greases is getting hunted and uh yeah it's gonna be a very very tough that's sick bald he's so hot right now dude oh he's so hot right now all right let's send some Alberts up to go push we're pretty massively ahead on value and we have health scourges threatening his back objective um let's get some Horsemen over there and see if they can just kind of javel in here let's call some Hounds in to do a little bit of nibbling against those guys severed claw still in great shape and uh greases looks like he's gonna be able to get away although maybe we can just pop him in the face here and do a little bit of Razzle Dazzle there all right so let's give him the love oh yes Greece this is down we got him we got him all right so back onto the point we go sick bald you get back there we got a couple iron guts moving out but they're not going to be able to do much of anything against us and the back objective is going to be ours we got our hounds and health Riders back there taking that and uh all right looking good looking good and move up and get the iron guts going just keep following GG well played he brought a pretty cool build man but um it definitely had a lot of weaknesses against my build like the stonehorn against trolls and halberds um the zinc sorcerer to snipe his characters it felt pretty good I like this build a lot I actually thought this build was very strong um the scrap launchers didn't do as much as I thought maybe he should have delayed the main fighting um but obviously he's memeing pretty hard if he's bringing greases right usually competitive ogres would have like uh Slaughter master that was a fun build though a little bit of each element right we had some zinc we had the hell Canon get 200 value gotta love it he literally didn't have anything for me to shoot with the hell can nons uh Gigi well played all right so two and one so far not bad happy with it let's refresh the old page and see how we're looking in the round and uh keep it going ogres are very strong they're very strong I I think they actually have a good match a decent matchup versus Warriors of chaos um all right so let's do this and that report the score and I was on Warriors of chaos and we were facing off against the yoga kingdoms all right so one more round of Regulation um taking a look at the uh standings as of now for today's tournament thank you all for joining again um so we were actually the first one to finish that round uh we're still in contention we have a very strong tiebreaker uh depending on how Kirk does Kirk needs to win some games though yeah because carc won one he lost one if Clark wins this next round our chances of getting to the finals are really decent if we win our third round match because we'll have Ulrich as a tiebreaker who's got a lot of point value and will also have carc as a tiebreaker um it was very very strong but so far the only undefeated players houseplant um and then we have uh Ulrich I think is still playing right now so yeah a lot to be determined but hey Trace I think is still undefeated too I think he's playing his third round match at the moment how's the dreadlord professor poem looking okay Professor poem 1-1 and then he lost one and then it looks like he's playing his next game here yeah all right so we're getting there let's look at the win rates for the uh for the old leaderboard right now some dude somebody somebody is doing some witchcraft with wood elves the fact that they're at 67 percentage is just so funny it's so funny um dwarfs 65 tomb King's doing very solid like I feel like this I feel like this data right here is like true top tier factions and then like the dwarfs and wood elves are just being falsely inflated by some prayers to the ancestors or to some sort of a god um yeah Empire is kind of fluctuating up and down I think we have a couple really good players playing Empire today so their win rate will probably climb a bit worries of chaos we're bringing them hey guys we single-handedly brought Warriors of chaos from a 24 win rate up to 43 just playing in two events um so we're we're getting there uh somebody in chat saying the Swiss format tournaments make me want to try multiplayer again I think uh yeah I think I think the single faction tournaments are really good for beginners because many people who haven't played multiplayer or maybe are newer will come in having played a couple factions a lot in campaign so they might have like decent understanding of one or two factions right um so the single faction is nice because you don't have to worry about picks and bands it eases you into tournaments with the Swiss format where you're getting to play against people typically of your skill level as you get further into the tournament um where is corn Corn's not doing bad honestly outer region bro outer region if you were playing corn actively in tournaments right now if you were signing up for these single faction tournaments and playing corn I guarantee you their win rate would be like 55 maybe even 60. like you're good enough to do that um yeah dwarves are doing good now we are holding it down man I think I think that corn is fine like good like corn is is a good faction I think they're not like top tier or anything but they're definitely like solid like I think corn has good matchups I wonder what corn does against britonia I feel like that's hard maybe scar brand rampaging like Elite nights and then you just use the Minos of great weapons bolstered by like I don't know I feel like Grail Knights will just crush a lot of your roster the fact they do magic damage just well wreck fleshounds really hard um I feel like a good bertonian player would probably be favored against a good uh a good corn player would be my guess corn op says pone yes well pone's playing Slane dude yeah outer region you could carry their win rate yeah you're saying single faction is your best bet as a tournament beginner yeah honestly yeah well I saw I saw a region talking about outer region is our resident corn player he's like the best corn player out there right so and he's saying they don't have a good win rate and it's because you know it's because he's not playing him you know if he came in and he could carry them from the pits you know scaven or not skaven are like the meme from Toy Story you know of like the guy who like the guy who discards his toy you know like all the sweat players when they can't like the cheese mechanic isn't as abused as it once was like abusive as it once was they're like I don't want to play with you anymore you know and then they throw this Gavin away but skaven here's my here's my kind of project I want to get the Warriors of chaos over 50 that's my project and then after that I'm gonna adopt the skaven and I'm gonna bring the skaven over 50 percent you know um it's gonna be like an adoption series that's what that's what we should call these tournaments adopting adopting Warriors of chaos adopting uh we'll just take factions that aren't good and show that they have potential you know and it's it's not all bad yeah I think that's a really really fun series actually a fun way to do it all right so let's see how we're looking on the leaderboard I I'm confident I could get skaven over 50 unless somebody starts really tanking them and just like losing a ton of games but as as of now I think we could get them up there um all right so where are we at kazarak is is just trash yeah and he's just terrible yeah 100 um all right Professor pound with the steel chair getting the w appone's got two wins right now it's tiebreaker around three or four I think I could get nurgle over 50 too yeah nergal has some teeth they're not as they're not like and here's the thing like when it comes to getting something over 50 a lot of it pertains to like how many games have been played so nerdle doesn't have that many games played so literally if you do if I did well in one single faction it went like three in one with them they would be like up over 40 they don't have a lot of games played so um I here's a couple I don't think I could get over 50 chaos demons I think I would struggle to do it with Grand Cafe I think I would struggle because I really don't like their play style and I don't know something just feels off about playing them um slanage I think is could definitely get over 50 B spend I think they could be brought up too I think if like there's um I don't know if you guys have seen dog person play he's a really really good bee spin player but he's not been playing them too much lately been taking a little bit of a break um but like if he came back and started playing basement I'm sure he could get them over 50 percent I think but there are some that would be very tough if some of that could be very very tough yeah I think that's Gavin is good yeah I think they're fine um they're they can still power grab if you want to do that yeah I think is is due for an adoption as well we'll have to see kazak literally beats Tyrion oh no kazarak's terrible yeah he's really bad Tyrion is awesome because he's got a good crowd clearing ability Tyrion also has a has a heel he's super fast he's a great duelist um yeah kazarak's just a meme yeah kazarax he's just never gonna be good I don't know I don't know what it is pon's bringing up that slow nice win rate today right phone at least you're at least keeping it even at the very least sorry for the long down time in between rounds um we finished our game really really quickly so we are just hanging out and waiting for the next batch okay what do we got man a lot of games still playing here all Rick and dog person playing Sarah can charix a lot of really really strong strong players dueling it out right now it's very cool to see yeah so we can look at some builds as well for the worries of chaos so okay what builds them am I not happy with right now so I think Chaos versus b-span is a little bit of a gimmick but it's a fun one let's go back to the drawing board on Chaos versus britonia so this was like the build I had Theory crafted hmm I lost the wood elf Dorothy with mass War dancers and blade singers that's a it's a good strong build actually yeah because you think that what else aren't going to beat you in the front line then they show up and just give you the business all right so how do we deal with britonia this has been like the one that's really been plaguing me um I think it's got to be Festus I know it seems like Haggard but um maybe we go Festus with fleshy only we cut that all right so we still have a mortise engine to clear out peasants so we go with the what about like Skull Crushers how do Skull Crushers trade against Grail Cavalry that really is the question um let's go to the test on that all right so we'll do Skirmish or say I we're gonna figure this one out we're gonna figure it out all right so where's chaos looking pretty cool and let's go ahead and get uh let's just get some big flying Lord so we can like Chase off the the AI who's gonna be you know playing against us here and then we get britonia get you and just push you on the back and then get the Grail guardians or Grail Knights let's let's test how this goes they both cost 1700 so this is kind of an interesting one blood boil takes too long to cast a high-level player is going to dodge that every time with um with Elite Knights uh blight boy is okay against like dwarves and slower factions but against britonia the way their Knights move it's it's insane uh Weston I think it's okay to see here and there but I don't think you need too much of that yeah I don't think you need too much of that remember the dwarf thing with Tormentor sword days it is like total war is like that that good friend that is always there for you in the back right like other flashy games will come up but like total war is always there for you and it has that cool diverse meta it's got like tons of cool factions to learn and play like I just felt like learning Warriors of chaos the other day and I'm like boom that gives that's like several weeks worth of like Focus like learning all the matchups and different builds yeah yeah I did have that yeah the co-life plus gaster but right now I just want to test the efficacy of the uh of the Corn cavalry yeah burning head is good but like having nurgle healing on in the Cavalry fights seals seems like it could be very strong and Bella core unfortunately I'm testing versus AI who's awful but you know we'll uh we'll do this get the test here and then we just kind of run interference here all right so they didn't use Lance formation oh man the AI is so stupid like look at him running of course my guys are going to win if the AI is running like this yeah anyways let's uh let's see if we can get a normal test hold on let me check the brackets if the brackets still have a little bit of time let's see if uh maybe hageries you could test me out yeah or pone one of you guys if you're free could like jump on the mic and we could do a little bit of testing while we wait they do a 15 word save that's true pound you'll join all right sounds good brother okay so how are we doing on the rounds and outstanding pone well join uh testing turn all right there we go all right Pony I got a Lobby the AI desperately wants to cycle charge you that's true all right so want to test a couple things here um let's do Skull Crushers and uh then pone can join here we want to do a land battle and do Crossroads Crossroads is like the default testing map so poem If you're listening bring uh four Grail Knights I'm trying to like find an efficient way to trade with the cavalry try melee reflects on Cav yeah I could try that I'll try it on one of them um but the problem is they're probably just gonna run no spells uh no spells bone also by the way no spells all right swords of chaos are another one I wanted to test out so we'll see how they do because swords of Chaos in theory will be slightly more effective at killing like foot Squires and infantry than the skull crusher so because like a skull crusher based build with Festus like AOE healing them could be really strong um archaeon Kindle flame and flaming cloak swords of chaos to overcome yeah like Kindle flame Synergy could be very viable I believe these guys do fire damage too so that would be another bonus to their damage you have one girl Guardian sounds good bone sounds good yeah well I know that chosen halberts will dunk on girl nights if they're into staying combat I've already had that situation happen in a different game yeah so we'll see skull crusher is a fleshy abundance might work it might it might yeah Skull Crushers are a pretty metal unit I mean they're they hit hard and they have good stats yeah we'll see what happens quick you guys talking about quick cat taker um so quick against dwarves is probably one of his best matchups euc's really good there he's kind of like a mini safe ball that can kill their characters fanterny is always enjoying the Warriors of chaos builds me too they're so fun it's like a toolbox all right okay so let's go ahead and pan out pan out and fan out oh The Voice lines are so cool all right so we could use curse of the leper on this one here so awesome oh The Voice lines all right so let's fast forward go on fast forwarding here so he's got girl night squirrel Knights and most people play them in Lance formation anyways right so what does that give them that gives him the uh okay let's get you going let's get you going let's get you going and you can see how this all goes so we can try the curse of the leper on these guys we'll do it right now and there it goes all right so now we can go to normal speed check it out so swords of chaos actually aren't trading badly with Braille Guardians um the damage reflection did make a difference it looks like other skull crusher fights are pretty close hmm so let's see what we got yeah this is gonna be a close one 22 and 22. over here the Grail lights are winning um these Skull Crushers didn't have a good fight these ones here had a pretty good fight the damage deflection oh we actually moved fastest close which we shouldn't have done all right this actually doesn't seem too bad did we find a matchup for Skull Crushers I think maybe this was the damage reflect though which is a pretty cheap spell to be fair so you could spam that um these Skull Crushers doing pretty good we did lose on the far side this would require a little bit more testing but the fact that this is like close is good for us I would say yeah anti-large they have a big anti-large bonus I think it's only 10 what how are they winning this they have better sustained combat stats okay so the Skull Crushers will be better in long-term combat whereas the ground lights are better on the charge it looks like yeah yeah some of the matchups are okay swords of chaos are losing this is what happened with them before um they do well in the beginning but then they end up losing the long fight yeah the damage reflect could be okay actually curse of the leper it's like pop that here to see if it makes a little bit of a difference interesting test though this one's super close you can see the Skull Crushers here are able to grind them wow there's two Grail knights fighting holy they're still going Jesus man damage reflection here seems to be doing pretty well yeah so look Grail Knights will be able to penetrate through infantry way better than your Skull Crushers so they're gonna have better maneuverability and whatnot but um I think it's pretty respectable the performance of the Skull Crushers I think they could be a viable choice yeah the fact that they're doing decent if you have healing for them like that could change it right because fleshy abundance is a really really powerful heal that can single-handedly change the course of a fight like pretty hard yeah and the swords of chaos are cheaper than Grail Guardians by by a fair amount right and then you can you know you do a little healing action here I don't know if it'll save them but yeah they honestly don't do bad fleshy abundance is a fat heel you can see it's going to be keeping those guys nice and Juiced I actually don't hate that it's not the worst trade in the world guys Skull Crushers seem to have found a bit of a home all right and even some of the unsupported Skull Crushers did win that right hmm all right Ashton uh sounds good so uh Ashton who are you Ashton type let me know your name so I can fix that for the next round please let me know your name so I can fix that so that being said and that test having been done we can um we can go and like work on our build so I think you need big chungus just you need the healing in the damage reflection I think I actually like that build we'll keep children at gargle for now since we're going to be spamming cheaper spells um plushy abundance is is a really really good one yeah so we go halberd spam um and then we have Skull Crushers of corn oh this is Land Battle I was like why do I have so much money it's like my I feel like I should be deeper into my funds by now all right so let me get you squared away my friends all right so I see you won the first game you lost the second one and uh you won two games did you report your final score here you can push girls yeah you could you could definitely fight the grills at least and Festus will also have his AOE healing Aura which is going to give them a little bit more love all right so let me finish your score here fix it yep so I will fix it right now yeah the damage reflection is very Niche because I think the only reason the damage reflection works so well is because we got a really head-on charge and I don't think a good protonian player is going to be like jumping in like that yeah I don't know so maybe just keeping all the wins of magic for fleshy abundance might just be objectively better um so triple halberd how do we deal with the foot the problem is foot squares are going to kind of crush us here a little bit right so maybe we bring like two chaos Warriors um we bring two Marauders and then we we need like a troll to kill the foot squares I think so this could be like along the lines of the opening build yeah the chosen I was a little bit unimpressed with I honestly thought they would do way better but um I I was wrong I was mistaken I got your score fixed it'll be updating in just a second yeah I don't know I'm kind of on the fence about it because the fleshy is like on one note is good but curse of the leper what eight one's magic plus she's 16. like sometimes it's a bit of a trap like and you can see that even opens up more resources for me where I can get another troll in my opening build right this one doesn't have armor but like this opener feels pretty good you have like counters to foot spiers you have good counters against the britonian Cavalry you're durable against missiles you have big daddy Festus um chaos Warrior great weapons are good but I feel like the Cavalry is really the problem yeah and using the chaos trolls to to grind I think is more important um and yeah you definitely want to get a couple forsaken you hounds are really really good here for clearing out like crappy peasants yeah armored trolls on top and rotors definitely works I mean you could totally do that too so you could you could go this route right you could go for the slightly more durable Marauders and then just get like more trolls like a build like this could be completely viable is there any way I can save any more money damn it I hate when you're just short like that it's the worst feeling ever man um antacore probably not too many anti-large Knights running around um all right serkia tried to bring the wood elves up to 70 he says oh my God oh my God I lost the dwarfs oh no somebody else lost the dwarfs too the dwarf tyranny it's finally here one match left guys and then we move on to the next one one match make sure houseplant has the correct number of points he does looks solid so yeah we're we're gonna need to get a good tiebreaker here we need Clark to win Clark needs to come in with the steel chair and get the job done if somebody could let me know when the match is done um I probably wouldn't mess with dragon ogres because I think the armor does make a difference on the Skull Crushers um all right so we severed claw I think are great I think you want severed claw the reason why they didn't do so well last game is because I let them get inundated by um by what's it called by uh foot Squires so that was my problem how did we feel about swords of chaos too swords of chaos didn't feel terrible like maybe you bring them in as a bit of a sweeper unit like they are 400 gold cheaper than those elite units and they honestly didn't do bad like let's throw the swords of Chaos in there right let's let's get down and dirty dude um Rampage Tech so we have Festus I think you need the healing and honestly I think the Rampage Tech might be very good also but this is like I feel like a safer more consistent route um we could do like a foot based character you definitely want like some throwing axes I think just one honestly the throwing axes didn't feel that good last game so we throw in another armored troll we got plenty of great weapons um and now maybe we can like throw in a character we could do a Herald hammerstorm he he's so expensive though I don't think that would be worth so an exalted hero it's got all his abilities and see what we want to bring and do we want to bring corn or nurgle a nurbal exalted hero could be nice like in the blob fights just to kind of sit there and bump and grind but yeah I don't think we have the money for that in the spill do we want to Chariot I don't think so maybe a chariot to like poke in her ass like in the initial fight and bait the Cavalry out so you like charge the Infantry and it's pretty resilient you know I actually don't hate that idea like a single chariot it's very much like what I like to call the um aeroclastic playstyle Aero classic used to like charge across formations with his chaos chariots and like lure your cab out and then he would catch you in bad engagements so I think that's actually pretty good um and then we have what 775 left we got hounds we got a spot we got we've got some good late game hammers swords of chaos are also pretty good against foot Squires too right so that's a very much a viable thing um do you want any shielded Warriors by chance I really don't hate the uh the the chaos Chariot here though I really don't I think that's a decent choice Giants we could just you straight up cut one of these armored trolls and get a giant or one of these forsaken I think the Forsaken are good is like a one-off I don't feel like I need to spam them round's over thank you poem um and for last but not least let's just throw a giant in there and save this I think this is a better build than our other one yeah all right so let's see how this goes refreshing and advancing on to the next round yes yes where are we um next round let's Advance the Swiss thank you professor pohne yeah arrow is like the dark lord of using chariots he still is even if you play with him he's like his Chariot micro is very good all right we got Kane I think we're playing an elf oh no I don't know what to do against elves I haven't planned I haven't planned for this all right so let's get Kane in here hey we're up let's have some fun good luck have fun all right you have no magic though Festus says magic yeah Festus has got fleshy abundance so he's just casting fleshy on the Skull Crushers and the swords of chaos and just getting your value out of that I think is the is the game plan so um let's go ahead and find the map the map here is gonna be the uh rift at the world's Edge yeah pretty cool map it's pretty open so good for elves what do I do I don't have a build against titles yet I don't have one um huh it's a little bit of a Trixie Hobbits is here so let's get our our uh no that's the wrong one let's get our army blocker up as we build for the last matchup I actually don't know what to do against elves like I'm not sure um so I'm just gonna wing it and see what happens let's just get Hog Wild and see how this goes okay okay I don't hate that I'm bringing a very cool build I'm just throwing it together it might not be the best but I think it's going to be pretty metal and uh yeah can we get enough money for that guy I think we can outstanding and then in reinforcements we want a couple of you some of you dude such a cool character um what else you want to bring this yes I think that looks pretty good now against them I actually think that yeah the High Elves definitely don't like like things that can bully their heavy Cav a single hell Cannon is kind of attempting Reserve choice but I don't think I'm gonna do it um if he does have mass Archer though yeah it would be would be a shame too not to but I think it's too risky um okay so what other marks do we want to use we got one Mark used here we have one Mark used here um I'm so used to using Festus man I'm so used to it yeah he's just he's just always my my go-to choice fastest I can tiles though is a little bit of a liability he could definitely be sniped like a hundred percent could be sniped um hell scourges probably not super good here chosen of corn could be metal but I think Kyle flake breath attacks from dragons could be a little bit too menacing for them what we're probably going to be encountering is silver and guard Shield walls um would be my best guess I think it would be silverens yeah silverens we playing Colin oh you are calling and Kane yeah his name was is is let's see okay just want to make sure I have the right player here looks like we do okay so aside from this let's get some of you in reserve I think again Childs you always need quite a few of those and hmm dragons are a bit of an issue we have to worry about we have to put some respect on the dragons 100 um let's actually do this I think this is a bit safer yeah I think this is way safer you guys are gonna like this build I guarantee it you're gonna like the way you look metal is actually pretty viable against elves too searing gym on top of their archers and stuff fire is very good for clearing out like their Archer line but if they have Shadow Warriors and like loose formation archers it's pretty bad um so death is just always a safe bet to be completely honest like Spirit leech Buna is like if you don't know what to bring just bring Spirit leech in Buna you're gonna you're gonna you're gonna like it it's gonna work out for you okay looking good most of our army is ready to party time for LG schemes I know we're facing the algae schemes we are yeah they're they're here for blood I'm gonna bring one really cool unit for you guys that's off meta um but it's super badass so it might work although don't drown hang on a sec I think Dragon princess have fire resist right so that would just be trash um yeah so we'll bring you in reserve here I think that's pretty good a couple of these are always welcome we got a cool pick a different colors game we keep picking the same one uh let's do the Challenger of the eagle that looks pretty cool Sam Village making a rare appearance no he's he would not be good here at all you would not be good here yeah there are War Dragon princess you have fire resist but again they'll get pounded by trolls pretty bad I think so um we don't need to worry too much about that I don't think um Dragon ooger shag gets here kind of an interesting like a dragon ogre shaggis with um Festus healing I think could be very viable for sure so yeah man we look like that's such a toolbox like there's no like the meta for warriors of chaos is so all over the place which is a good thing it's it's exciting um all right so we got 1300 left get another one of you and another one of you and I think we're about ready yeah I think this build can fight a bunch of different stuff uh 100 percent and we got you guys ready to go maybe throw you out and do I have any more marks of chaos that I could use ah curses you go through those marks of chaos so quickly you know so quickly any sort of sorcerer action I want to do let's see sorcery of Soul Nash is kind of a cool idea too like rampaging those bad boys I feel could be pretty viable for sure um man the choices are just killing me here man they're killing me so lashes acquiescence rampaging dragons to their death is is definitely a very viable choice um but yeah I think this is just the safer way to go all right last any last words here before we uh make the final awful changes to our build nope looks like we're chilling looks like we're chilling good luck have fun let's see what my opponent's got What's it gonna be What's it gonna be I actually so it's really funny I just casted a couple of of Kane's replays the guy I'm playing and he is really really good at heils like I'm Sweating Bullets here he's a clearly a very good elf player so but we need to get the win to have a chance to advance to the uh Grand Final show triple hell Cannon uh I I have I might have brought one in reserve I may have brought one not a hundred percent gonna say yet but Dragon princess should get yeah Dragon princess it's it's I think they could use a little bit of love I mean they're not the worst they're basically chaos Knights like Dragon princess are just like chaos knights with lances with you know slightly better durability I suppose and access to good healing granted chaos have healing with nurgle now so I faced Kane a lot he likes Elite elephant lines this should be fun yeah I I mean I have Marauders and trolls and uh we have valkia to smash the Elven cringe yeah astrogoth is faster tankier and fighter than Village I know yeah well Village is much cheaper than astrogoth though to be fair I think Village is like if you bring him with just like one or two spells he literally costs like just over a thousand hell cannons are really fun yeah they're really funny I I I like to bring one in reserve not my starting Army because people are just like you know we'll plan for it too well valky is really good she can fight the dragon type characters with her demon shield and um is this overall very menacing so so we got severed claw here we got chaos trolls he's probably gonna have a lot of archers which uh you know I'm gonna have to watch out for but like yeah the Marauders are a bit of a Target but overall it shouldn't be too bad um if he has Archer spam the first thing we call in is soul damnation we brought Skull Crushers uh some health Riders to kind of protect things in the backfield and just go for Snipes in the late game a couple hounds all that good stuff that you know and love we did not go for the typical meta of like chaos well I guess that's morrigan's what else but yeah we'll have to see valky is really good though because South near against like Elite elves is very strong archmage of life with um white lines of Grace it looks like in the back we've got archers and archers and uh yeah some units all right so we just play these two objectives and Buna will basically just crawly chop anything Elite that he brings out yeah I think Marauders will trade very well into like silverens um rather great opens but the archers need to be shut down so our trolls can Thrive so we just use valkia for that we just dive her in and just use slop near and and that's basically that um actually a hell Cannon would be super sick against this build do we go for these two points I think we do let's go to those the outside point we could just like send like a loose unit over there a little bit later on to grab it so valkyr will definitely do good here um archers archers I feel like he's hiding something like what could he see if Shadow Warriors or some so we can check one two three four five six seven eight not I think he might be hiding one unit um maybe but definitely we're gonna call in the uh the hell Cannon here Slaughter personified so badass valky is pretty heavy metal all right so almost have enough for the soul um let's send one Marauder over here to go grab this so let's put you in group uh seven we'll have you go chill and uh yeah and then we just kind of get the uh the old cannon of hell and start doing hellish hellish things to our opponent here as we blast into the let's let's rip one shot here and then we can move it up after that all right so he's getting his his party ready we're gonna line up in the trees because chaos likes to Ambush out of the trees and the hell Cannon is doing its thing if he tries to get it with any sort of skirmish Cavalry oh he just called in a lead infantry against us that's great all right where's that hell Cannon shot there it is all right so we need to get on the archers now all right so hell Cannon shot misses swing at a Miss it's all good happens to the best of us chaos Searcher a little bit of lapse and micro but yeah we just viewing of those sword Masters like hardcore on the other side um you know just shoot the archers basically that's the game plan so these are silverens so let's get our Marauders squared up and get our trolls behind them and uh yeah we Buna and or um you know get them with other tools here Tim Rogers let's get in there and party and we could also call in some Hound units on the back so let's do this and get behind his army there's some white lines of craze hiding in the bushes all right there we go all right so let's go after his archmage we do see some heavy cab coming out those are going to be reverse which we can easily intercept so I'm not too worried about that all right let's get here let's get here get the severed claw and get trolls on top of these uh pull these sounds up and around the back and to get these trolls on top of you guys and overall looking pretty good uh those are just Reaver units so we can go ahead and be on a u and valkia can just jump on these archers right here and just start disrupting them basically so that's going to be the plan let's do a stop near right down the pipe here get you guys around the back and now we have a big ugly chaos grind to the bushes let's get you here and you guys on top of those white lines and we did get attacked by the dragon but let's go and pop team and shield and come around the back the buno's cackling all the way to the bank let's start shooting at this get you on this point and hopefully we just win this Forest fight um not gonna be easy by any stretch but we'll hopefully get some good value let's go after those archers and valky is back up in the sky so valkya can just kind of keep hunting this Dragon character looks like we do get The Far Side objective and we are slowly capturing that other one trolls fighting and uh yeah we should win that grind in the bushes pretty effectively so I don't know why that's taking so long to cap um oh my god dude I just totally space out and forget about my hell Cannon I did lovely the bronzodia plays I think we should be able to save it though um but yeah that was really bronze that that could have been like a potential throw right there all right so let's get some routers we've got valkia going after the big dragon character and uh she's gonna need to escape here in a minute though she's a little bit trapped up so we do have this character let's get valkia out she is doing some good anti-large damage we did kind of feast on his Archer so his archers are offline um balkia is a very resilient duelist though so maybe she's gonna be able to pull something here I'm not sure but the hell Cannon uh are we gonna save it the chaos dwarf crew should be running and I think if we can just save a couple models the hell Cannon will come back so how are we doing on the troll fight the troll told is being paid we got a couple more archers coming out this objective is going to be grabbed by us uh we could do Skull Crushers but honestly I feel chaos Warrior gray opens coming out just grinding is gonna be the way so valky is back let's have her get in here we chase down his archers there and uh how are we doing with the hell Cannon the hell Cannon crew is actually still very much alive which is good and uh yeah the grind's going okay although I guess a lot of our trolls are starting to route to the dragons and stuff so let's pull some of the trolls back um how are we doing here man those reavers just will not break dude they will not go quietly into the good night swordmasters they definitely need to be focused but this damn hell Cannon being offline is not fun some of the chaos dwarf crew did get away and severed claws still fighting in the bush as well nice breath attack and the value is pretty close but I don't have healing is the problem I do not have healing so uh hounds let's get him on these uh sisters of Abalone right here and uh I think we're gonna finish these guys off eventually let's get the chaos crew coming up let's give valkia back and we do have another slot in here so we can just keep fighting here for a moment and then pop a fat erect slot near right down the pipe right there yeah the trolls breaking is problematic that's definitely not good they didn't fight super well I guess they do get penalized in the tree line so yes that's not good but it's so it's okay we'll we'll find a way to endure so falkia is still battling but we need to get her back let's get severed claw to the middle and the hell Cannon crew oh my God the reavers beat my guys wow I was not expecting that holy okay that that's really bad I think that's how I threw this game all right we'll we'll keep trying though We're not gonna give up um we got trolls trolls are back we do have a lot of healing via the trolls um let's get you back to the point here wow I did not expect that to happen holy all right how are our hounds doing here we finally got him off can the hell Cannon still shoot yes it can hell Cannon save me all right so let's go after the sisters of avalor and pull you guys back we got a couple dudes in the bushes here so let's gather them up and uh have you guys ready to party valky is still dueling this big beast let's pop the demon Shield make her immune to damage and uh get you guys back and now we need to get um yeah so we finally Chase those guys off let's get the hell scourges up and call in some Hound units or Horsemen even is fine just needs some Mobility valkyr getting those anti-large attacks but not quite getting the job done chaos Warriors can move in and you guys move up onto the trolls onto the trolls and let's get some of you around the back of the army we can bun it down those uh those sisters of Avalon which I think is going to be good and uh yeah let's see what happens valky needs to escape though we can't afford to lose her here that's for sure we do have the objectives Advantage which is nice but for how long who knows all right so yeah we got the Buena down to the sisters and the hell Cannon is back online I I definitely may have thrown the game with that hell Cannon I needed that thing to be winning some of the fights for me earlier um Horsemen let's get you guys back around trolls backing around severed clock and move in and the grind is now on and it seems like the trolls are doing well yeah sisters of Avalon completely offline chaos Warriors here getting swamped a little bit um how are the hounds doing here yeah these are what elyrian reavers okay so let's get some forsaken up on that point see if we can stabilize that before he takes it they might be able to just straight up get it though all right let's get the Horseman going after these guys and the health scourges are here let's move in and uh yeah it's going okay where's our girl valcia um she's around valkyr can just go dive some archers in the back take those easy fights where we can and uh let's get some Horsemen to just sweep through archers in the backfield and we'll put them in melee mode and see what they can get done all right so we got trolls coming up we got some spearm in here let's get the trolls battling you and we have the throwing weapons so I think we're okay on the bunnies let's start Spirit leeching the Lord see what we can get done there and forsaken have they made it to the point oh these trolls might be able to stabilize it we need to hold on to all the points like and just forces melee grind to go well for us um chaos Warriors and severed claw doing reasonably good valkya hunting down archers where she can we got a couple Horsemen circling around the back so let's get them to start using their throwing axes against the sword Masters here trolls in a bit of a tough fight but yeah these Marauders and Marauders here I would say holding reasonably well all right so we got these up on the point that's really clutch the fact that we're able to kind of stabilize that is pretty big um let's get some more chaos Warriors moving up to the point here see if you can grab that um value is pretty darn close actually so we have kind of pulled back the value a little bit which is a big win for us severed clouds gets you on the point keep throwing at these and valkia needs to get away now because he's obviously going to be able to kind of pull some witchcraft on valkia all right so down to the low ground we go here should be a win for us and uh he's going after the death Caster so laps and micro on my part and let's go ahead and use scroll shielding to prevent that Caster from dying and run away and trolls are retreating but you know trolls they tend to come back and we forgot about these Hound units we did have here so let's keep throwing into the white lines of craze and these Marauder Horsemen need to get back we do have the severed claw fighting on the objective but aside from that not too much valkyr did Chase down those archers so let's pull you guys back and uh do we want to try for like a ninja on this point it's not going to be easy the elves are looking pretty pretty nasty here severed claws can anchor that point for as long as possible um we Spirit leech the Caster again I think maybe at some point valky is going to be able to get like a good gooning on that character maybe oh my God what is the hell Cannon doing I'm playing so bad this game okay maybe he didn't notice it's right in his face okay guys it's it's stay calm stay calm the hell Cannon is is in close quarters combat you know that's if you guys if you guys haven't noticed that's my forbidden strategy for uh getting those those good fights up close yes that was the plan all along all right so thankfully we're gonna steal this outside objective and let's get these hounds to go nibble on his archers real quick and uh we got this one it looks like there's gonna be some heavy cab coming in the fireborn okay so we got to be ready for that that's not gonna be fun uh what do we have to fight them with trolls in forsaken that's rough all right valkya we have demon shield on valkia so we need to get her out severed claws still fighting like absolute Champions and it looks like he did blunder the side objectives so we're gonna be able to get that one I think let's get these archers dragged down and now we can get you pull you back and get this death Caster getting in there and hopefully the trolls in forsaken can do some work while we get the great weapons back in oh my God I can't believe I sent that hell Cannon to melee the hell Cannon thirst it's true it does you know it is a it is an engine of chaos so after all it is gonna be you know a little bit a little bit bloodthirsty but yeah Big misplaced this game but you know what it's part of the fun it is part of the fun indeed so we'll save up for Skull Crushers uh let's get you guys to come in and start crumping here hounds are nibbling on archers and what do we have here gas Warrior gray opens yeah pretty respectable chaos Warrior gray opens will take some time to kill 100 and we need to just keep scrapping and find a way because we are just making so many misplays but you know it's so it's all good it's all good it's part of life life life is basically just a series of misplays you know and uh that's that's how you roll all right falkia the fact that she's trapped here is really shitty uh I haven't been able to get her out feels bad man and let's recharge those silverens uh the severed claw are still holding steady which is pretty nuts and we'll get you guys up on the point nibble into the back of them and now we can call in the big boys the Biggins so let's get these Skull Crushers of corn out and see what they can do so yeah a lot of a lot of misplace here valkya dying too is another one add it to the old repertoire huh all right so reavers because the hell Cannon would have been so good just sitting back there and shooting the entire time and yeah the hell cannons grinding it's grinding there we do have the two objectives the elves are kind of struggling to get a couple points back so maybe we can work something crazy with that um Skull Crushers are on their way uh let's pull them over here to hunt these units down are we going to be able to hold this objective see the thing is he has healing and I don't so um yeah that's that's not good let's get the Skull Crushers over chaos Warriors get nailed by that breath attack that was a beautiful one and man we just threw this tournament dude we were we were in such good shape such Haggard plays it's the dreaded melee skull Cannon maybe he thought it was a forbidden Tech and was just surprised by it that's what we got to be hoping for here um is there any sense in fighting over here nope there's not there's literally no sense in it so we'll just charge these silverines real quick and then just get some damage and then just pull away and try and uh do some funny business in terms of stealing objectives when he leaves all right let's get you in the bushes valky is dead too everything's falling apart oh everything's falling apart God we played so shitty this game what happened to us we're playing good earlier just letting us hell Cannon charge into melee valkya just dying to some random ass spearmen just what's not to love uh all right so we're pretty behind now a lot of our chaos Warriors are in shambles here and our Skull Crushers of corn a couple of them are chopped up Anakin I'm too weak dude we literally gave him like 1500 value just for free in melee I feel so it feels so bad dude feels so bad I don't mind losing but when you just play badly it feels so shitty all right let's get you guys up get you throwing axes in there keep pulling back and is there any way we could wrestle this objective back I don't think so Marauders against white lines of Christ isn't going to be a great fight although we could be into them um are these Dragonborn no they're not okay so we can just get in there and drop a little bean to action try and reconsolidate our forces what are these reavers in the bushes yes all right we won't give up we'll keep going keep going a little bit stronger oh Anakin I am too weak help me all right let's move you around do we have any hounds we do let's get some over the top Never Say Die man Never Say Die we still have the dreaded Skull Crushers on the field so Marauders against silverens and uh let's get you guys up got to just be very very cautious here we do also have trolls how far are we okay so he's got a Triple cap he's just rock hard with a fully erect Triple cap right now we'll move your trolls in on top of the silver ends keep you guys back in reserve is there any way we could ninja this point um we do have a mage of death coming out let's go see if we could snipe his Mage maybe maybe we could get something done there Skull Crushers are nearby and the trolls have gotten on top of the silverens which is very good for us and now we can pull in another Hound unit to try and help us here we're just basically in desperation mode like we need to wrestle an objective back and uh that breath attack will hurt it's definitely gonna hurt let's go for the reavers and hopefully he doesn't notice them all right so the skull crusher should get a good fight there and we do get uh gooning on his uh his unit there which is nice but we would have to double cap him like pretty soon and we do get good caplet here reavers into the those units yeah big tear route on the trolls is pretty clutch also what are these These are the fireborn the fustro Daw all right let's go if only we didn't throw valkia too just like so many units just in the trash all right so let's get back and how are we looking on the top side here we do snipe his caster which was a nice little uh nice little grab but I don't know if it's gonna be enough the Marauders are fighting too pretty good quality units here so um yeah let's see what's happening here though Skull Crushers are retreating and uh all right let's move it on up let's move it on up here get these guys back throw some throwing axes over this way trolls make their way back in and Hounds can chase down these reavers or go for the archers up on the top yeah the Skull Crushers are he's got a lot of Spears though so I have to be very cautious I'm gonna try and get them in here smile in get the hounds around the back to go nibble on the sisters of Avalon which could be a good value for us and uh we need more Marauders to come and try and get this point we don't have time to save up for good quality units we literally have to double cap him like in like almost like right away um let's charge him to the back of the white lines of Grace Skull Crushers getting dragged through his Spears um Hound units getting a good engagement we can run them back into the trees here and let's get these Skull Crushers to charge into the back of these with a little bit of troll support should be pretty good for us and get another Marauder up and yeah we we have cap weight on this point we're somehow somehow Palpatine has returned and captured this objective so let's get the hounds moving and we can pull back here and maybe get the cap on that maybe maybe stranger things have happened stranger things have happened for sure we just get Horsemen at this point because I can't really afford anything else so yep we get here let's recharge in just kind of avoid the dragon where we can and got a couple forsaken let's get those guys moving back Marauders have made it up onto the point we have broken this so let's jump on top of the swordmasters here trolls keep doing your thing let's go get the Skull Crushers there sisters of avalor and I have nothing to shut them down um speaking of let's go get the assortment across although we need to get the cap here so let's just get the cap weight there see if we can get it all right so somehow Palpatine has returned and we did flip the objectives which are pretty crazy although I'm pretty sure he wins on one so it's not a huge deal I think he's in he's got this one in the bag but just goes to show that a little bit of scrappiness can sometimes get you back in games you know had this been a little bit closer Maybe all right so we do seal that objective and we Seal The Far Side objective um now which one is more precarious this one actually looks okay over here so I think we just take some of the health Scourge boys oh and just call them up to help hold Haggard minions of the dark Gods with no Lord valkia I almost brought archaeon I should have brought him he would have been pretty good with the burning heads but we get the two objectives and uh yeah it's not gonna be enough we would need a a rock hard Triple cap Gigi well played man he played a good game and I did not he did very good GG well played GG enjoyed I I asked him I'm like I hope you enjoyed my dreaded hell Cannon Rush oh God we gave up so much value for free to him that game with valky and the hell Cannon God that hurts a 200 that hell Cannon should have been a counter against like his Army against archers and Elite infantry and stuff it should have just been farming value the entire game yeah Valiant defeat from the jaws of a crushing one ain't that the truth ain't that the truth he played well though I like his breath attacks I thought it was it was cool I honestly think the build is pretty good um I like this build I think it's good I think it was just me playing bad I think the build is fine yeah man forgot to use it well played alright so we're gonna be casting the semifinals in Grand finals now and uh let's see what happens God man I can't believe you threw like that oh everything was going so good and then just like we had a hell Cannon for his Elite infantry it was just so bad god it feels so bad all right report that score aren't that score brother good luck in finals maybe we'll see if he makes it to the finals it depends on his tiebreaker my tiebreaker is okay we did okay today overall we went two and two we beat KARK who's the top tier player um and then we had some pretty close games aside from that that was probably our worst one that was definitely our worst one that was that was that was rough check the reavers for for profit I'm surprised the reavers beat my sonesh Cavalry that's that really shocked me actually a 1600 value on the reavers yeah they killed they straight up killed my slanish cab I thought my son Ash cab would have the advantage yeah the terror riding wasn't the big deal though it was basically throwing away valkya for like nothing although she's still got 1400 value and then um yeah the hell can was a big throw that was really bad we we needed that thing we spent so much money on it that could have been like sorts of chaos or any different things I did not I will fix it all right so let me refresh this white lines have Woodsman snap off yeah that makes sense white lines are better in the woods that's cool it's not something you get to see terribly often so let me go down here fix that and he should have three Swiss points let me go ahead and fix this don't hate correct me if I'm wrong but don't hell cannons actually go fight in melee and tabletop they actually do that shouldn't the hell cannons be like demonic machines like the other chaos dwarf engines did they actually have a crew in tabletop or were they like were they single entity artilleries yeah who would win death master or two squads of compare Troopers oh my God deathmaster has plot armor he would definitely win yeah he's pretty Opie dude that artillery got in the melee oh my God that's so bad that's so bad all right let's let's do this and save it all right so we fixed his points as requested Kane I got you and let's see how we're looking for these semis and Grand finals today they had a crew the hell Canon play was beautiful I'm glad you guys liked it you know my opponent might have been taken uh you might have seen the hell Cannon moving up and been so shocked by this Brazen display of haggardness that he maybe just leaves the game but it didn't work unfortunately yeah yeah it's it's it literally was almost in melee the crew died they rampaged no it wasn't a rampage all right so what do we got here um my tiebreaker is super good too it's a shame if we had won that game we were like guaranteed in the top four basically what a shame what a shame man feels bad all right so let's see here so it looks like it's gonna be hadris Ulrich Raul sarkia maybe has a good tiebreaker um I don't know if any of these other players have a chance I think dog person might have a chance going three in one so we got a couple more minutes yeah so looking at the builds overall I think it's pretty good uh you could opt out of a death caster for I actually don't hate the idea but like a slanesh caster for some of the alpha strike fighting huh that could be an option it could be an option for sure man so a quick question by the way let me let me I'm gonna run a poll for this will you play D4 how many of you guys are going to play Diablo for I'm like on the fence about it I still think Health Riders are a really good choice here so let's just like reevaluate the build the Skull Crushers I I thought were okay part of me was like do I just want something like cheaper like more chaos Warrior because like Old School Warriors of chaos um would be like Warrior spam just mass chaos Warriors which honestly might be better against like the silver and meta so let's say you come in with backline disruption via um oh I actually have a pretty badass build idea here so against Hiles hear me out you go but why is the Zazzle so expensive Jesus he's so pricey so you could go with Sig bald okay to grind against High Elves and then you go with like a warrior line the problem with the warrior line is You're vulnerable against dragons um but then you go with a kale Sorcerer of slanesh we're just like it's like a slaneshi Warriors of chaos build right so we go chaos deed we go Soul feeder I think that heals when they cast which isn't bad um and then we want to yeah we wanted to go slinash The Horseman Invasion Soul feeder Blissful Rapture is really good it gives like all of your Troopers um plus 12 melee attack it's like bonewood staff so lash of sunesh is good acquiescence is good and pavane to Rampage like Cavalry and monsters so now the weakness of this build is um is that you're dealing with you're gonna struggle with big monsters right so how do we deal with like big dragons in this build because like breath attacks and Rampage and Dragons we'll cut through our Warriors pretty heavily so um hmm do we go is singled really the way or is it big daddy Festus for the healing on like a dragon ogre shaggath or something because Dragon ogre shaggies do have 70 armor and could fight dragons like all day right and also heavy Cavalry that actually doesn't feel like a bad idea the hell Cannon is still really good so we're gonna do like a version 2.0 collecting and tiles is a little bit risky like the Archer fire can drag him down Sig ball do you just get in and he just like trades cost effectively that's just like he's great um I like this laneesh gaster for buffing all these uh I think we bring one hellstrider I still think they're good you could go the anti-large variant to get slightly better trades into the Cavalry but overall I think you you go that route um chaos armor trolls I would still probably bring a couple in reserve I think uh having them as your initial core the chaos Warrior push might just be objectively stronger so here is there any way we could cut a little bit of money oh yeah we didn't we don't need any of that okay so then we throw in Summoners of Rage that's actually kind of cool because then you get the chain lightning too but they're very vulnerable against Archer play but Archer play you can theoretically shut down with Prince sigbald as well as the chaos sorcerer archeon it could be okay but I I actually like this lineage Caster here like rampaging they're like skirmishers like they're fireborn and their other Elite cab units plus you have magic damage against fireborn with these guys I actually like this build way better this build feels quite a bit stronger you definitely want to go with uh gray open Marauders because they can actually kill silver ends and white lions not kill them but do damage against them um chariots I don't know if I'm a huge enjoyer of Chariots here Summoners of Rage should like handle most of our issues um we could do one anti-large hellstrider although I don't know I don't know they're pretty fast and furious you definitely need some throwing axes to like put a little bit of pressure on dragons and get some ability as well yeah it seems like a lot of you guys aren't going to play that yeah so I probably I'll probably if I do end up playing it or I would just play it on my own then if you guys aren't interested in watching it um any more heroes or anything like that dude I love I love Theory crafting with this faction it's so much fun it's so much fun yeah Warrior pushes for The Meta in back in game one okay so we finished the rounds are done uh advance to the top four so let's do that hopefully there's no scores wrong or anything like that let's see and outstanding checking here where are we all right looking solid and I think we have gone there yeah so everything looks fine I don't think anybody has falsely inflated scores or anything so we have our top four so what I've made top four if I won that match yes I would have oh my God what a shame what a shame just the Haggard blunders all right so let's go to the front page see how this goes here oh okay I'll skate no I never played that never played that no all right so we got our matches all right top four here we go baby we got ground brindle versus serkia and we have hadris versus all Rick Rawl so um let's go ahead and cast uh Syracuse game because I know Ulrich tends to have some lag and sometimes Adrian says too with me so I'll spare them the double lag and we'll uh uh we'll do the other game gron brindle I think made it with dwarves I'll cast your game send Lobby info please let's wrap up this build before we move on to the next thing Harry the hammer against uh against these guys I don't know no chaos Knights against High Elves feel pretty bad I mean I guess they kind of could do okay against Dragon Prince's spawn Giants don't feel good archers and Spears will just kill them you could go with mirror guard miragard or immune to psychology that could actually be a nice Tech like in the main Army we bring in the mirror guard with sick bald to get like an ITP grinding unit that does you know pretty good sustain damage and uh we got Marauders we have the Summoners of rage and then we have 1300 so we could cut you to get like one more dedicated anti-large unit I guess um swords of chaos actually don't feel terrible here although they do do fire damage so fireborn will be a very bad trade for them so yeah might be a little bit too much of a liability um I really like the dragon ogre Shaggy idea that felt pretty good but yeah I think just more great weapons and uh forsaken to clear spheres and pressure I think is always very welcome so this and this this build feels pretty good this feels like a much more solid safer build than the one I brought we're durable you know so chaos uh chaos versus High Elves uh two we'll just save this for now and give it a try later all right this feels good segvald like unbreakable front line you got rampaging so if they come in you cast the vein of slanesh on any sort of a cab unit or Monster Rampage it kill it with the Summoners uh throwing axes hell Cannon to kill archers assuming you micro correctly good pressure this feels like a like a well-rounded build like very well-rounded build all right let's see what we got so Grom brindle is playing what let's see what it's gonna be I think it's I think we have dwarves versus elves which is going to be very thematic for sure very very thematic great tournament today thank you guys all for joining it's been an absolute blast love hanging out with you guys it's always a good time yeah mirogard aren't like gonna kill super quickly like silverens and white lions but they're ITP they hold and like with sigwald standing on top of them he can look in his reflection and just be stoked um spawn or terrible against elves because they're low armor so Spears tear them to shreds archers tear them to shreds yeah so you're gonna you're not gonna have a good time with that okay so let's do this let's do this join with the code and there we are uh spec code spec select yeah all right so we need a spectator code then we can jump in and cast this game yeah I wouldn't I wouldn't probably recommend spawn in that matchup spawner okay in a couple matchups but I think trolls are the thing is spawn are unbreakables so maybe if you're in a matchup or you don't need armor-piercing but you want monsters infantry spawn could be preferable to trolls yeah balkia got stuck dude there was so many oh my God Kane you you did so good that game and I did so poorly I'm so depressed that with myself I I just like I threw my hell cannon into melee that I needed that thing so bad I didn't even see you Ambush it either such a potato that game I just like literally I saw them I knew it was coming and I just I just forgot about it just like Boomer brain moment all right so we got wood elves versus uh versus the dwarves it's a grossian satisfying the garage brindle versus nerexa and this faction guys I think I prefer this where it's um where it's uh three factions all the way through right like I think I prefer or one faction all the way through because now the grand finals it's gonna be fast it's gonna be furious um I do have somewhere to be today I have to go get my allergy shot so that's partially why I made it a little bit of a shorter format but I think it's like short and sweet and it's cool to like get all the way through the event with your chosen faction right I think that adds a ton of flavor yeah it should be cool should be cool don't you always want monster symphantry no not always not always yes could be uh so Nash could be another faction I I still want to keep mastering Warriors of chaos though I'm really enjoying them a lot like they're so fun they're so fun and they actually feel really good too GG man on top for now um okay looking good and we are uh almost ready what else have a really really cool faction banner I don't know what that faction Banner is for the what else but man it looks rad looks very very rad you think it'll be a Slayer Rush well Sarah AKA nerexa really likes to use the dreaded uh melee wood elves that's been all the hotness for what else lately has been rushing with blade singers War dancers and like trican and then following up with archers after that that's been like The Meta for wood elves um and it's very strong I'm curious ground brindle though is a very good dwarf player very Scrappy gonna be bringing the fury of uh of the dowie to bear the doctor I honestly don't think Warriors of chaos are a bad faction they feel very good to me so let's go look here while we wait so they're doing their picks we have like maybe a minute right all right one second year so if we look at the stats let me break this down for you I think Warriors of chaos are good against what elves and flying against dwarves uh not good against britonia fine against tomb Kings um ogre kingdoms I think is fine chaos dwarfs I think is actually favored for warriors of chaos uh I think Empire vs Warriors of chaos is a pretty even matchup maybe a slight Empire favorite the highest level but still pretty close norska I don't know about this one um I do not know about this one but I actually feel like there's some tech where it could be an even matchup because you norska does the Infantry slightly better but you have access to Healing so that like really can offset some of the heavy DPS they could do dark at least feels like it's a relatively even match-up um I don't know though I haven't played a high level dark Hill player yet green skins feels fine lizard men feel fine vampire counts are heavily favored for chaos now with Harry um High Elves feels like an even match up I would say Kissler feels like a decent enough matchup that either side can win um corn feels like an even enough matchup maybe even Warriors of chaos favored vampire Coast I would say Warriors of chaos probably have the slight Advantage there and uh yeah chaos demons I think your favorite zinc I think your favorite nurgle I think your favorites Gavin I think your favorite slanesh I think your favorite uh uh yeah harder to say actually because Seekers are really good here so maybe maybe slanesh is a trickier one Grand Cafe I think you're probably favored and beastman I think uh I don't know nobody really plays beastman these days so you see like most of those matchups I do think Warriors of chaos have like a good matchup yeah Festus is really good in the norskin matchup yeah all right so it looks like the dwarves are ready the beastman sad moves yeah adopt corn corn doesn't really need adopting though they're already sitting close to 50 percent we we only adopt fractions that are like down in the 20s and 30s I'll keep playing chaos and tournaments till we get him up but I know you guys are gonna get bored of watching chaos um so I'll have to switch it to something else for some of the next ones I could go back to playing Empire but I already unlocked my Empire Avatar um I think we have it let's go check here yeah we I think we have it it's currently heading to the leaderboard so on the front page let's go here yeah so we're still in the top 15 which is cool um yeah we have the Carl Franz I would like to unlock some of the other ones as well yeah I'm getting some good games in there looking looking like a solid leaderboard currently platypus and houseplant carc is number three um Patriots number four so Patriots wins today he would take over the number two spot yeah on the leaderboard all Rick Roll has he won a tournament yet yeah he's won two tournaments this season okay so he's definitely In Contention here slash is an interesting one yeah they I feel like they have some really good tools like the Army abilities are really good with slinash like a rampage a snare like that's so good to just have in your toolbox so like I I think that's why slanesh can be pretty nasty and like Lord of sonesh is crazy good like Rampages direct damage um debuffs that are very cost effective it's an amazing lore Magic Undead are still getting played a little bit Yeah I honestly have never liked playing Undead myself um I liked vampire Coast when they first came out but I don't know what will it take to get Falcon back uh he doesn't yeah I I just don't think he kind of stops playing competitive towards the end of Warhammer too also I think he just kind of burnt out and probably doesn't want to have to relearn domination or maybe he doesn't like it um which is it's not for everybody it's it's domination is more of like a true RTS than Land Battle right but some people prefer like the traditional Total War battles compared to like the more RTS experience which completely fair I get it I'm kind of in the middle I like like I like land battles a lot but then I go play on ladder and I get draw guided and stuff and I remember all the times of having to officiate rule breaks and I'm just like all right let's let's pump my brakes on that a little bit yeah domination with these Maps does feel like Land Battle for sure I think if Dom had launched like it is now with like really good maps which uh you know could have been done for sure then I think a lot of people who maybe were more focused on land battle would have played this as well but um it had such a horrific launch that a lot of people just remembered the Dark Ages right yeah that's that's that I did almost get drawkided the other night I have I have the replay of it it's gonna be going up I just barely caught him so I was playing this uh this chaos tour of player with Warriors of chaos on land battle and um I basically it was a close fight but I ended up getting through his army and all he had was like a bail Taurus and a bunch of goblin labors and he was trying to draw like kind of run away from me and just cheese me and oh God it was awful but thankfully I was able to reach him with one spell that broke all his goblins and then he got um army losses so yeah that was that was like it reminded me of the days of old yeah yeah Dom games are very long and understandably some people might like shorter more like arcade style battles that are just like Fast and Furious right um which I totally get I like longer battles I really like the back and forth of it and the battles can still be quick if you win in a dominant faction so all right ladies and gentlemen here we are it is gonna be the dwarves led by Grom brindle coming in with the mighty uh blasting charge line so we do have miners of blasting charges which obviously against wood elf melee Rush is gonna be super super good backed up by some quarters coilers are super super good here they like to party and they're shielded they're armored they endure the Elven missiles pretty damn well they can certainly put some hurt down on you aside from that we got a lord it's gonna be a basic Dwarven Lord and he is going to be coming in with the star metal plate which does lower the melee attack of nearby units by eight which is actually really really good um that's super super solid so and on the far side we do see Ye Old spell Weaver of Life spell we have Life coming in with a uh Earth blood as well as flesh to Stone interesting so gonna be using this on probably a blade singer so if a blade singer is being shot by missiles or in a bad fight maybe about to get blasting charged we'll have to see but yeah you could drop some sweet sweet loving on that war dancers all in the backfield as well as some Eternal guard dryads on the flank and yeah it's this is really the uh The Meta build these days for the what else is kind of just aggressive brushes which I think is pretty cool indeed should be fun last question before I focus on the game will I cover uh Total War feral um if it I I seriously doubt total warfare is gonna have a thriving solid multiplayer functioning system so probably not uh I might do like a campaign or two just to like kind of check it out but see the mechanics because that's always fun but you know we we barely get the multiplayer support for this game like barely so uh you know I'm I'm seriously doubt that for Pharaoh they're gonna do any throw to multiplayer so yeah anyways it is on a blasting charges moving up and we do have corlers in the back as well boilers in theory should be very good against War dancers but they do have the woven Mist so this is a really really cool thing War dancers can get 40 missile resist when this is active they do lose melee defense but you just change it as soon as they get into melee which is very very strong so so yeah that is uh very very fun I am quite excited for this one so objectives going to be opening up here in about one minute we do see the Elven Ambush coming through the trees this is also very thematic to see the elves like running through the trees to flank the dwarves very very sneaky stuff as they're looking to get those charges onto the coilers which they'll for sure win and I don't know if ground brindle's ready for this he better be paying attention to the woods the woods are gonna start talking and uh certainly not gonna be fun for him so these are not blasting charge miners rather just basic ones going to be engaging against dryads strides will win this fight simply because of how good their combat sets are compared to the dwarf and minor infantry but Warriors of Dragonfire pass are an excellent choice fire damage against dryads anti-infantry against War dancers super high melee defense really really good and we get more long beards coming in as well longbeards will out trade pretty much all these wood elf infantry or at least trade very very well against them right so The Grudge will it be satisfied we could see Syracuse could be doing a little bit of maneuvering right so initially we saw his army right here but now he's gonna be basically doing a little bit of this right so he's going to grab the units that we're standing here and head on over to this objective and try and outmaneuver the more slow Dwarven position which is going to need to find its way over so blasting Charges going down to the word answers big big Salvo damage and the portaler is also dropping dropping some DACA but the Ambush is about to go down here ladies and gentlemen as the dryads have gone through the trees and the war dancers and we have Slayers guarding the flank but Slayers trade horribly into Word answers Word answers heavily out trade Slayers so it's going to be a Trixie Trixie Hobbits is for sure as blasting charges are taking ranks to try and intercept the flanking board answers now ground brindle the pride of Poland here is going to be aware of the flank in the backfield the dwarves have taken the fight Warriors of Dragonfire pass gonna be doing some good battling but they are battling blade singers blade singers are heavy heavy anti-infantry murder machines they're just going to cut through these and you can see the Warriors of Dragonfire pass though being relatively Elite are losing this fight pretty decisively so serakia is going to be wrestling this one and the dwarves going to be calling in some Slayers to try and fight here but overall it looks like the wood elves are starting to get some momentum on this point and the ambushing has gone down here we do see the award answers getting hit with a big blasting charge and the other word answer is trying to chase down these minor units looking at the value Grand brindle's keeping it pretty close the spell Weaver of life just casting Earth blood and flush to stone for those very very important engagements wherever they can into the backfield we get some Rangers coming in from the dowie to put a little bit of hurt onto the war dancers ground brindle kiting backwards here with his uh coilers trying to run away from the meleeing war dancers and on the subjective we do see the blade singers just being absolute MVPs it is uh pretty nasty so the blade singer is looking through value so far about 650. uh they did to get brought down to half Health by The Warriors of dragon fire pass and now some Slayers are coming in Slayers will I don't know the Slayers might actually lose this fight too Shadow coil is active so these things have 67 melee defense which is nuts and the fact that these blade singers are going to be butchering and not only Warriors of Dragonfire pass but also probably winning against these Slayers is just ludicrous ludicrous value all day and it looks like the dwarfs are going to be flipping the back Point here Graham Randall managing to hold on to objective number three though but more blade singers are coming in and blade singers the way to counter them is blasting charges and missiles but the Dwarven missiles seem to be in a little bit of a chaotic State as we see them being chased down by the war dancers and man serkia is so good with the wood elves and now he's hiding the wood elves in the trees and using the missile resist so they have 40 missile resist and also our blocking missiles from the trees so this is going to take a while for the Rangers to actually get through which is such a nice screening play and it looks like what else is going to be taking control of this objective on the back Point Slayers might be able to just barely win this fight we see the blade singers getting a little bit low they are shaken and some of the Dwarven missiles have made their way in value is close but the widows do have access to healing and the dwarves do not so the value is probably even more in the favor of uh Circa here and Rex says he goes by so he's probably up by about I would say 1500 value as we do see the wood elves start to grind this point so the blade singers cutting through many of the Dwarven Slayers Slayer is certainly not going to be satisfying The Grudge today as what else show that they can do some serious work in melee especially on a map like this I would say this map is pretty favored for the wood elves considering all the train and obstruction but that's not to say that the dwarves can't win it totally winnable by the dwarves but honestly the flanking from serkia over here in the trees was just so nice um shutting down all the Dwarven missiles and kind of forcing a bit of a panic in the Dwarven position was uh very very good and the war dancers move out of the trees and they even kill one of the Ranger units in melee which is just crazy value at this point I think Ron brindle is uh pretty much out of the game those blades just did so much work we got dryads and eternal guards still moving on up in krumping and the dwarves have not been able to get their objectives back you do have the dwarf Lord still fighting here the star metal plate is a great item against his playstyle he's lowering the melee attack at these blade singers down to 16 which is super low granted they have a pretty high bonus for infantry if I'm not mistaken of 12 so that does help compensate for that so typically if any of you guys are aspiring wood off players it would seem that it's often better to leave them in the shadows coil just to get that crazy good melee defense unless you're trying to kill chaff units in which case you probably want to keep the melee attack going right so down go the blasting charges and here we see Ye Old dwarf Florida and the Slayers trying to fight for the point the back objective being wrestled back by the dwarfs I know there's been many games where I've counted the dwarves out and I've been like oh they're going to lose this and then somehow Palpatine returns and they get all their objectives and cause a ton of Havoc all that sort of good stuff and here on the back side we do see the Glade Riders the spears looking like they're going to be coming down into the Rangers uh but no looking like they're going to be pulling back and the dwarves do start to wrestle this one but there are going to be some blade singers and War dancers maneuvering across and in the backfield the wood elves still causing a ton of Havoc these dryads just shutting down coilers and missile units really keeping like three of ground brindles good quality missile units from like rolling up and getting up on the points here oh man this is so good against the really tattered dwarfs so now we get the Stag Knights coming in the stagnites are going to be excellent against the Dwarven units because the dwarves are scattered all over the battlefield they don't really have a good formation and stagnites have huge armor piercing right so if they can find isolated Dwarven units out on objectives and things like that they don't really have a good formation anymore they're going to be able to butter some serious this serious bread so we'll see how it goes stack nights where are they going to be heading back here maybe to shut down the Rangers dryad's still cutting through being very very disruptive and the dwarves did start to wrestle this objective back but it looks like the wood elves did get some reinforcements there via some Eternal guard and they were able to kind of hold on to that but the dwarf's starting to get there and backfield diving from Glade Rider is going to be very cost effective as Ranger is going to get pounded pretty badly by this charge blade Riders are a very very cost effective light Cavalry unit much like reavers um they're kind of an in between their base stat line isn't as good as reavers but on that same coin they do keep their stats even if they get damaged whereas the illyrian reavers will be losing stats because of the Marshall prowess more award answers in the backfield with the woven Miss active nice blasting charges the dwarves getting a little bit of Vengeance here in the fourth quarter of the game and you can see one blasting charge does some really really nasty damage against the war dancers Rangers will probably still lose this fight though so they're still going to be a problem and look at that flush the stone going down on those blade Riders to try and keep them alive and where are the Christmas Cavalry so the Christmas Cavalry around here somewhere we see the Dwarven Lord eventually losing the fight blade singers are super good anti-infantry units and the Dwarven Lord is going to be forced back into the hills and will most likely be going down there the blade singers want to pursue him they can definitely finish him off and the subjective though is retaken by the dwarves Valiant folk they are as we do see the rear charge coming in from the great stagnites great stagnites gonna be absolutely just buttering up these long beards especially if they got like a more Square long charge if they came like around the bottom here and got that charge like that that would be pretty nasty but the dwarves do have the objective and Slayers have moved on to the point but the dwarves are going to need a lot more than just one objective to win and the widows certainly have Battlefield agency having almost uh 3 000 value lead 4 000 probably with healing being taken into account although maybe like 3 500 it's only a couple of Earth blood so it's not going to be too much but here we see the Giants heading back and uh the old blasting charge is gonna be hot in Pursuit ladies and gentlemen on the far side we do see the Dwarven Lord go down Rangers or the blade singer is really really showing that they got some teeth as they've gotten 2 000 value this game man other blade singers getting about 1600 value I feel like in this patch like we've been seeing a lot of elite infantry uh just doing way better and I think it's because of the progressive Nerfs but I know we do give creative assembly a bit of grief as it pertains to multiplayer bouncing and stuff and usually we're in the right in that regard I would say but uh in terms of like their Progressive nurse The Vortex spells just like instant killing like good units I like to see that like making those spells more expensive has changed the meta to allow for more Dynamic play in terms of bringing Elite infantry versus not bringing lead infantry so that that on one note is uh very good what else showing you so here's the thing serica is like one of the anorexa he goes by two names is one of the only people who plays wood elves like at a high level um so yeah I mean he single-handedly probably carrying the win rate in a lot of these different events and things like that so um so yeah we'll see the subjective flipping ground brindle you know in true dwarvish fashion you know he's he's stubborn he's holding on but this game is uh basically a thousand percent over he's got a massive value deficit um he's down on objectives down on value if it's one or the other maybe like you're down you're down on value but you're up on points maybe you can hold and win you know vice versa but here you're gonna have a pretty bad time so it looks like uh we got hadris on the other side I believe he's playing chaos dwarfs today I'm not sure what he's playing against the brutonians I think all Rick Roll I played him earlier we had a very good game um he was playing the protonians who we saw but yeah um narexa sarakia very very diligent what else player like he is he is a student of their game and the scope this is what's really cool about Total War Warhammer you could take someone who with any if you take like a good player who has good skill and is willing to learn and experiment you could probably take what's perceived as the worst faction in the game and compete at the highest level with them and still do well it's really really cool I'd love to see it and that's one of the most fun things about total World Warhammer like you can just become a man of a faction and just spend weeks learning that faction and then do another faction when you get bored of them it's like the multiplayer meta for this game is so exciting and so fun just gotta get those Haggard bugs ironed out man and then we're like I always feel like we're pushing the boulder up the hill Gigi well played a great blade singers man they got so much value and the war dancers also did pretty good you can see all of them more or less pay for themselves yeah these blade singers 201800 holy the dwarves were not prepared for that man they were not prepared yeah that was a great match hopefully you guys enjoyed that one great wood elf play great dwarf play as well but at the end of the day that was a victory for our uh what else here so taking a look at your old total total Tavern let's see if hadris reported his score on the other side well played ground brindle he played like a champ man you did your people proud that was uh it was a hard map and also Sarika is super good too so hold your head up high hold your head up high yeah the Slayers certainly were a weak link there um they traded down into a lot of the um I almost you know I almost start to think like maybe like iron Breakers against what else these days right like just with the blasting charges and durability because iron Breakers will crush War dancers and if you can effectively um oh you know what you maybe do there hold on a sec guys you ready for the conspiracy theory build like the tinfoil hat if you're playing dwarves hear me out in Grand brindle we got you in chat so you can let me know your thoughts on this one so with the current wood elf meta being what it is right which is mostly like Rush what if you as a mighty dowie Champion uh you come I liked your dwarf Lord I thought that was cool you could totally just go for that and um you come in with like two three iron Breakers maybe okay and then you get some steam cannons two three and then the sky hammer hear me out I think this is pretty mean okay and we can even upgrade the Dwarven Lord we could get like bellagar or something although yeah the basic dwarf of the Lord is pretty cool so we can get the um yeah that gives them perfect bigger tubes screw it this feels like it'd be really nasty because the gyrocopter steam cannons Crush Light Armored infantry and the sky Hammer you could just follow the blade singers around and I don't think he even ran any like archers in his build it depends on the map yes but he didn't have any archers right so then from there you're just gonna max out on blasting charges as you usually do um do you want to bring like any sort of an artillery piece I think it'd be kind of hard to protect this could be interesting the grombrero foil helmet yeah yeah that was a mat that map was very good for the wood elves though to be fair um a lot of trees for them to hide in you know they they had a lot of sneakiness yeah the 70 shot resistance is quite good but you can also use the bombs right like Sky Hammer bombardments you did that against me and you got like 5 000 value with your Sky Hammer so you clearly know how to use it very well GG well played great game man great game all right so you cast 2v2s or 3v3s no because of the lag I I might cast it as like a replay every now and then but typically um it's just a little bit too laggy so all right so let's see how we're looking hadris and all Rick Roll most likely having a laggy Duel of Fates um so let's go back into the lobby here and we'll get serkian Lobby turn Grand finals Grand finals oh nope I always forget to do that grand finals put two s's there and let's get circuit in here send a message and we are all set so we'll get the scorecards up mithril foil helmet oh no I know we got all the we got all the fun stuff going on all right so we're at the scoreboards they're down here somewhere yeah buddy this is from the last tournament finals where I lost the hadris bringing back the the trauma all right so let's get this and reset the scores and reset the players so we have uh narexa versus the dreaded to be determined best of one and uh the map for the grand finals is going to be uh Imperial Road great so this is the grand finals here it's it's kind of fun this like this starts to feel like a mini faction War right when you just have like your one faction carrying you all the way through yeah now we've always been I wonder how dow we are doing in land battles these days pugington do you still play land battles I haven't been following it too closely I mean I have a loose understanding of what's good and what's not like obviously factions like Cafe are going to be cackling in line battle but um yeah I don't know uh Taryn during war number two you did a single high funds 2v2 tournament can't remember exactly was fun though any plans for that maybe just the lag is so bad man it's like I could do it via replays but I had like when I'm doing tournaments I like to do it live it's so much more fun you know because like with replays I generally know the outcome so like I can you know yeah I don't know I I prefer live yeah 2v2 Dom is good it is it is it's the problem is the maps are well we could make bigger maps for 2p2 Dom but like a lot of the maps are probably designed more for 1v1 in terms of the deployment zones but yeah something to consider something to consider all right let's see how we're looking in terms of the uh Grand finals hadris and all Rick having a super sweaty Duel of Fates hey Vineyard I appreciate that thank you means a lot my friend um yes our expertonia what am I getting ogre or bertonia run over I think hadris is chores uh let me check but they are still playing yeah if wood elves managed to beat like one of these really sweaty factions man I would be uh I would be super impressed Okay so are we at and looking at the Declarations I didn't see what Hades declared today might have been ogre kingdoms I'm pretty sure he's been on like uh like a chaos dwarf ride though he's been playing them a little bit more okay so scrolling up let's see what hadris declared uh hadris hadris Where Art Thou up on the top here meanwhile okay okay kingdoms today yeah he's playing ogres yep that's what's going down but we'll see it could be britonia also I feel like what else would are really going to just have nothing to do against britonia like woodall's already struggled against heavy Cavalry but like how are they gonna handle Grail Knights or Grail Guardians like what what on the wood elf roster outside of Weight Watchers can kill them I don't know man maybe on Imperial Road it's kind of like open Eternal guard I suppose or anti-large armor piercing but they're still lightly armored and they're gonna get plowed by like battle pilgrims and Grill relieques and all that sort of stuff I don't even like britonia really didn't even need a buff that was such a strange thing for a creative assembly to do like Grail night Grail Guardians were definitely I mean I guess you could have buffed them a little bit but man they really went hardcore on that is it ogre is it all ogre now we don't know yet hadris and all Rick are still playing we're just waiting we're just waiting yeah what should I have brought versus what else um as flanesh all right so you're you're gonna be dealing with like a rush builds most likely so you know what I think is like a sleeper good unit against woodell fresh with slanesh um could be your fiends of slinash and spawn so you get like basic sloneshi hellscourage Marauders so you get health Scourge Marauders with the whips and then you back them up with Slane spawn and then you throw in like one or two fiends because fiends will kill trican they'll kill War dancers and they'll also be good against blade singers that seems like a pretty forbidden Tech um from there I'd probably go sick bald with a slaneshi uh just a basic Sunrise Caster obviously I think that could be good like I think you would win the grind against wood Elsa melee because sufferific musk would lower their stats and you're also getting the melee attack buff from the slanesh Caster the high melee defense on the whip characters will be very good so yeah that that would be my my two cents bone okay refreshing uh well you know so you say in chat try telling Reddit that protonia didn't need a buff yeah well see here's the thing understandably and rightfully so most people on Reddit are coming from a campaign perspective so in campaign bertonia was pretty boring in vanilla so I love the changes as it pertains to the campaign but multiplayer you know and and ultimately I understand this game ca's cash comes from its campaign right so uh that should I I want the game to succeed so I want them to make campaign as good as possible so we can keep getting new things for multiplayer too it's kind of like a symbiotic like the campaign people and the multiplayer people should it's definitely like a symbiotic relationship all right I suppose they would say parasitic which is kind of funny but um regardless um like a lot of the multiplayer stuff can be done via uh cost increases too like if something is egregious and you don't want it to affect campaign you could just make it cost more and then people will not use it as much um but yeah Tony is very good I think they can definitely still lose matchups let's look at their stats and see um while we're waiting for the grand finals here So bertonia currently sitting at a 60 win rate um who are they losing to is the question so it looks like they're breaking even with tomb Kings so tomb King seemed to have a good match at verse them um lizardmen are also seeming to be winning more games against plutonium than they're losing chaos dwarves also not doing bad kiss live actually with a 66 win rate against bertonia right so like dwarves are also winning against vertonia they're four and one so it's not like britonia is Unstoppable um but yeah it's it's uh it's it's very strong uh I thought about playing Diablo 4 I I here's the thing I played it as a kid the D2 a lot so it's just Nostalgia and that's how blizzard survives blizzard is just like this toxic monstrosity of a of a husk of a corpse of a company but they just pull you back with Nostalgia and they they just give you just enough you know um but I'm not gonna probably do the pre-order of it I would I'm gonna wait and see like I'm gonna let some people get to end game and let them like get some feedback and and you know start seeing if more egregious micro transaction bullshit's gonna start coming to it before I touch that game yeah multiplayer allows CA to test the unit bounce in a vacuum it's true they and they do use it for that yeah foreign it is indeed it is indeed it's getting good reviews that's good to hear yeah no I mean I I love the franchise the the Diablo Universe I love Grim dark universes all right bertonia versus what else we got our grand finals ladies and gentlemen it's on so let's go ahead and head over to the tournament here all Rick Roll coming in with britonia this is a actually kind of a lore match up there certainly sharing borders all right so this is best of one good luck have fun let me remind both players all right where are we at and uh remember this is about best of one best of Uno remember this is best of one good luck have fun all right guys it's show time players doing their armies let's get it going let's get it going oh the blizzard is basically the Empire of mankind in 40K God man it's such a shame too because like blizzard was like my my all my childhood games were like blizzard games like not all I mean I was playing Warcraft 2 tides of Darkness on AOL internet on AOL America online Internet yeah so back in the mid late 90s like AOL the uh you could connect to the internet using AOL um or America online and um their main browser you could actually play Warcraft 2 tides of Darkness on that I remember playing that in the 90s and just loving the universe and the flavor and the characters and I just thought like the death Knights were like the coolest thing um when I was a kid man and then like Warcraft 3 came right before I went to high school and I was just going balls deep on that with all my friends and just having a good time and uh yeah man and then World of Warcraft basically Wasted Years Of My Life um I definitely if I could go back probably would take it easy on the World of Warcraft but man it was so fun so then Starcraft I was a big Starcraft guy um I think the last like good game blizzard made that was like really solid was Starcraft wings of Liberty and uh it was like first Starcraft 2. man those yeah and Diablo dude my friend Paul and I um we played Diablo 2 when we were in back in like 2002 just 2001 would it have been who maybe 2000 2001. I can't remember we went so hard in that yeah they've really fallen from Grace they really have but it's kind of just the nature of like yeah I mean I don't know man it really makes you appreciate creative assembly like for all for all the faults that we have with like bouncing and bugs and stuff like the D the DLCs like aren't egregious and I think like you you certainly like it's one of the few companies I've seen where people are like really fiending for DLCs you see that for like Age of Wonders too people are like where are the DLCs at um but when you have these like cosmetic stores and just like all these like pay to win infrastructures where you level up faster because like you paid for this like stupid battle pass I know this isn't D4 but it's just like common practice yeah dude the Mephisto runs and then pindle skin was also another one yeah there was a lot of those those kind of runs um yeah dude I used to watch day nine with you on Mondays day nine was I used to watch him a lot he was great um I used to watch husky Starcraft HD Starcraft um day nine um artosis I I watched him a bit now actually I suppose I didn't watch him as much back then but he was great too yes CA really Nails a lot of stuff um for sure like the games that are made by the the primary CA Studio like the the one in Horsham the those games you can usually expect really really like fun fun times from for sure um CA does have a couple different Studios like they have a different Studio that makes their saga games I think that second Studio made the Pharaoh game I'm not sure um but like anything coming out of the main CA office is usually going to be pretty sweet um in my experience 40K tabletop uses pay to win yeah see for me the way I approach 40K is I play at tournaments but like I'm like a casual competitive player so like I play what I like because I like the way the models look I like having a plague Marine that I painted on the table battling like for me that's why tabletop is really fun um but understandably it's not the best for from a competitive perspective I do enjoy growing strategy games yeah artosis is really fun to watch he's very fun to watch yeah yeah so peeling a chat saying Sophia made Pharaoh so yeah we have yet to see what that's going to be like but you know um anything coming out of the main CA offices is gonna be solid and they're obviously very focused on uh Warhammer right uh which is why we get these badass DLCs like yeah we had some bounce issues with chaos dwarves but their campaign is awesome their units are awesome their abilities are awesome the flavor is awesome like everything about chaos dorbs is fun like and cool and like when I got them I was so hyped and I still am you know it's uh it's a great game man Total War Warhammer is awesome it's such a Hidden Gem such a Hidden Gem I mean I know it has a big following but you don't say it enough see it certainly knocked it out of the park but the total Warhammer series for all of its faults it's a great game it's a great game they nailed it and should be proud for sure uh what else in britonia oh man where the where are the heavy Cavalry in reserves it would appear yes yes is 40k purely built on cosmetic packs no so Total War Warhammer are you talking about tabletop maybe tabletop I'm not sure all right guys let's break it down whole front battle line is going to be Eternal Garden in the sunset which makes sense he's got the shielded variants of the basic variants he is so nervous about heavy Cavalry it's straight up only spear units yeah that's that's great a couple tree can I do like the tree candidate they'll give you Mass to make it so your infantry don't get plowed super easily Branch rates now I love this Tech so melcox is actually surprisingly good damage against things like foot Squires and heavy Cavalry bretonian Knights so he's got double Branch wraith for the combat prowess and also the double bell costs to wear down the elite Knights which I think is a really really cool forbidden Tech uh aside from that what do we got it looks like tree can and the lore choice you have to bring the Lord nowadays he can't not bring a lord anymore um where is his Lord what the hell where's this thing is it in the corner all right so he's going to be using the dreaded uh Power Of Darkness Lord so this is a cool strategy basically the uh sorceress is going to be sitting in the corner of the map casting power of Darkness on herself which is going to be giving power recharge rate to the wood elves and also giving them reserves so they get uh more wins and Magic very very cool now for ulrich's Army it's going to be peasant mobs backed up by men of arms and battle pilgrims battle pilgrims will heavily out trade the Eternal guard so the widows are gonna have to find a way to get through the battle pilgrims Ulrich of course going to be using the fanchantress and the double paladins very very strong combo very tough to deal with um the past couple games I played with my boy hadris um and several other britonian players I've been running into uh I've been running into Lewin so it was very weird for me to face the fanchantress again today because my build earlier was more designed to not have to to deal with Lewin so yeah I suppose the fan chanters Tech is still quite good right quite good indeed yeah you're talking about blizzard investigating themselves for all the the crimes that come on at their office yeah I know it's like it's so absurd it's it's pretty absurd but you know that's how it is with a lot of things in the world so yes we'll investigate ourselves for these heinous crimes I mean we'll make sure the the perpetrator is brought to light yes of course spell Weaver of dark here the power of darkness is active and what's kind of cool is once you use the power of Darkness enough you could just unsummon that character and then you're not really losing out on too much so this is the grand finals ladies and gentlemen we have the wood elves versus pertonia what a fun meta we're finally getting to see some good faction variants and honestly in the past couple single faction tournaments we've had we have had some really really good faction variety like in this one we had dwarves wood elves britonia and ogre Kingdoms in the previous one it was the um I don't know what we had chaos dwarfs we had Warriors of chaos and um then I think we had kiss live like in the past two single faction tournaments we've had four different factions in the grand finals both times which is uh which has been really really fun for sure so good times good times are here just a couple little tweaks and I think we're there so objectives are opening up but what I was going to be advancing with their sphere line and you know what's kind of cool about Branch races they're good Fighters so you can put a branch rate on top of a battle Pilgrim in combat and they would be able to do pretty well for themselves so here we get the tree can pulling back tree can uh gonna be trying to hold it down as a fanchantress and the double paladins gonna be looking for blood in the backfield let's see how this all unfolds and uh yeah man the good times are here Spears on the way up Eternal guard on the way up objectives opening up in about 30 to 40 seconds and here we see the fan chanters and the mortise engine Squad gonna be jumping on the tree can got to be careful not to get caught here though those uh Eternal guard could get some anti-large Shanks into the paladins and do some work but the Grail Knights also coming in in grail Knights man they have crazy armor piercing now big charge bonus as well how are the what else going to be responding I'm not sure but this is a pretty nasty little Alpha strike but will the wood elster ability be enough to hold uh they have really good leadership too right so we do see some ground lights starting to take some damage they haven't lost any models yet and it looks like metal cost is going to be going down really nice melcoth cast on the Grail Knights those girl Knights going to start taking some big HP damage and at the end of the day the value trading in that little fight was pretty even with the girl Knights getting beat up a little bit the spear is holding it down and if those if any of these paladins get trapped here that could be a massive massive game-changing play for sure yeah that could be pretty neat but it looks like the paladins do manage to get away gonna be bouncing on over to the other tree can and eternal guard as the branch Race come in you can see them elkas a pretty good attack the grill now it's already down to like half Health middle objectives gonna be going to the wood elves for sure I don't see them being able to take that objective easily and what else do have some of the better Spirit units in the game they are armor piercing another big cavalry charge from those Barrel Knights and what is this was that a dweller's below oh my goodness Fame chanters dwellers nailing the Eternal guard and the tree kin and of course master carrying their own peasants but who cares about that right that's that's all fun and games here but this back objective fight is uh looking to be pretty good for britonia as the fanchantress with the Dwellers below combo able to melt the Spheres and continue to get good good value now what is the wood off response going to be we get more tree count on the way out and there is going to be another melcoth being popped on the grill Guardians trying to wear those guys down on the middle objective brittonia is just kind of chilling out looks like they're going to be sending some Cavalry in getting a downhill charge I don't know if the brace really counts if they get charged on the side like that but overall the the unit's flying the mass on the Grail Knights is just like that's so absurd oh my God that's so absurd that is just so busted oh my God look at that yeah well they do get stopped in the end and to be fair these guys are lightly armored and the ground Guardians their ground lights do takes them down from the Mel cost but that mass was it was pretty wild man definitely could use some atherized fears in here yeah they can be very nice but the Eternal guard do armor piercing as well and honestly Circa is keeping the value pretty even I mean the value is very very close and the wood elves do have a pretty firm grasp on the middle the problem against bertonia is you can't really go for backline pushes because of how effective their Cavalry are however I wouldn't hate to see uh one of the uh one of the units coming in uh the Glade Riders to go harass those peasant mobs in the back objective but that was uh that was pretty I've never seen it quite from the side like that I've seen the frontal charges but holy those wood elf units were absolutely getting pushed yeah it looks like a Winds of death takes a lot of micro to do this but those charges are really really devastating as the Eternal guard are getting worn down big peasant mobs charging down into the middle and the ground lights are going to be getting uh you know just that Perpetual value as the spears continue to kind of poke away at those guys hey you know that's lore friendly though bertonian Cavalry and Lord basically do that and uh yeah you know so at least it's true to the Lord trick in here trick in here and eternal guard holding the back objective I have to say I'm pretty impressed the wood elves have not been relenting much ground the Eternal guard now being attacked by hordes and mended arms not going to be great for them but the melkots mystifying miasma has been pretty effective and the fanchantress is a pretty beaten up for sure and despite those nice charges the wood elves are still trading pretty evenly and getting very very nice uh melco's mystifying miasmas beautiful Chalice of Potions there from Ulrich what a nice cast on those War Dancers just insane stuff and man it's so cool to see what else contending with britonia and uh even though they're considered to be we're considered to be a lower tier faction right but somebody who specializes in them clearly can do pretty well so ground lights getting a nasty critical mask and so they also are getting beat up a little bit middle objectives still owned by the hardwood as the Eternal guard fight to the best of their abilities back objective looking a little bit precarious as the fanchantress mortise engine is really really paying huge dues but the tree can are giving a nice anchor they have three capture weight which isn't terrible each weekend probably gonna be worn down setting it three leadership we do have a paladin most likely Henri La Massif as well grinding with those anti-large attacks and is there any pressure on the back objective it doesn't look like it looks like the wood elves are pretty rock hard on just trying to solidify their two points and I think that's probably going to be the game plan now at the end of the day is having the wood elves just uh try and you know hold the two points as long as they can and maybe just Helms Deep on one at the very end but they're starting to lose a little bit of ground in the middle as we do see the Eternal guard uh just getting run over by all those Cavalry over and over a lot of Eternal guard holding okay I suppose with the branch rate on this side but yeah that micro all Rick rolls micro is also very very good and clearly we did see looking Brittany does have some bad matchups but I do not think the wood elves are one of them even before the changes protonia has always been massively favored against wood elves um and with them getting Buffs it's probably only going to be worse so truly a testament to how good of a Woodall player serica is the fact that he can keep it this close in my opinion in a really really bad matchup right so ground lights have pulled back melcots going down once again going to be rear charging into the dry Sierra Turtle Garden trekkin holding it down middle objective looks like it could perhaps flip the girl Knights seem to be somewhat healthy and yeah the micro very solid so 1200 value and that's something I'm going to be very curious about have the Grail Knights over the course of this long game paid for themselves uh I would wager several of them will because Grail Knights what do they cost like 8 1700 1900 gold it's pretty pretty serious other cost point and the problem with going Mass Spears is then you become very inefficient against Chaffee units like men at arms and battle pilgrims and I think we're starting to see that a little bit from the wood elves where they're losing a lot of the other sustained fights um which is tricky right because you have to go so hard to stop the ground lights that uh you weaken yourself to the other tactics that bertonia can employ and the fancy actress is also just dominating this back Point there's nothing really like there's no wood elf Lord or character to really contest the fanchantress so she's just a free mortise engine that literally nothing in the Widow farmy can kill so ladies and gentlemen I think that is probably going to be a victory for bertonia or excuse me yeah I don't see any way that's gonna go down Gigi well played man that was a that was a good match I I personally think that is a curse matchup for the wood elf so Syracuse certainly did run into a very very hard match up there in the end I could see more people in these single faction tournaments starting to attack into dwarves and a kiss live into uh these different factions that can counter bertonia but what else just don't feel like one of them like it's just despite how well he played and how cool his Tech was it just always felt like he was struggling um you know to fight against his Cavalry and it was like that before too britonia would definitely dominate what else in the previous patch and now it's even worse um so girl knight 1700 these ones paid for themselves these ones just about paid for themselves the other one didn't but had the game gone longer they certainly would have and yeah fanchantress there was nothing to stop this like the fanchantress Goon Squad was also a big variable as to why uh you know the game went like that what about Orion in this matchup like Orion Mel Gibson anti-large and he's got those like bombardments that could be pretty effective as well yeah we'll have to see GG well played man and you know despite for Tony being very strong you guys got to give some you know props to ulrich's micro his cab micro is impeccable we saw in the game I played earlier it was very very good all right guys take care of yourselves that's gonna be it for today I appreciate all the donations and all of you make sure you like the stream it helps out quite a bit keeps the old multiplayer machine going man keeps the old man waking up in the morning but yeah kiss love uh kiss love can apparently do pretty well against uh against britonia I've heard Whispers that they counter petronia pretty effectively so I'm very excited to kind of see how they do that all right guys take care of yourselves see you next time congratulations to alright crawl and to uh narexa as well Sarah he played a great game and is single-handedly carrying that Widow parade but really I feel like this is a super cursed matchup so unless Ulrich made a huge blunder or he brought a super weird skewed build um to counter britonia I feel like that's gonna be a little bit tough Gigi well played see you guys next time and that is going to be it for today foreign
