  1. I know this channel masquerades as a 40K battlerep channel, but really it's an undercover social experiment to see just how quickly the "players" can be driven insane by statistically improbably dice roles. The answer is, the get the to brink very quickly, but look at the little guys just hang on in there 😉 Sanities dangling by a thread

  2. Good to see Stig taking on a bigger role in the team. Great running,commentary, just try not to overtalk everything Beard says. As the camera operator you drown out beard of you speak at the same time.

  4. I look at this, but sometimes, I don't know why you make the decisions you make. You should draw on the screen, Madden NFL style, and be like "I'm worried about these guys over here, but if I go over here or here I can come through this way, but it's risky because of this guy over here" and cover the screen with circles and arrows. It would be very clear for those of us who have virtually no experience.

  5. Oof, lot of missed rules in this one, even with Grotty on the side (e.g., the melta missiles get to reroll against vehicles, the extra damage from the demonic weapons was missed at least twice, and the desecrator doesn't hit on 3's once it's at nine wounds).

  6. The terrain seemed quite unkind on the knights, with their movement being extremely restricted. I'll admit it's probably a hard balance to achieve: having enough terrain for 9th missions and also giving knights enough space to play the game. It's further complicated by the limitations on obscuring for 18+ W models because you need massive terrain pieces so the knights can hard at least some of their models.

  7. Question: I thought you could only target units you declared as a charge target in the attack phase? so the t1 wardog charge shouldn't have been able to attack the custodians? Or has that been changed?

  8. Not a huge criticism, but for all your videos could you put more footage in of the entire armies laid out please. You do a lot of talking about them but don't allow us to see the armies in all their glory for long enough to appreciate it…
