  1. Sure it's been said before and not sure if it's possible but a mass game of Bone, Beard, Chef and Spider would be insane. I feel like Chef and Spider would need to be on separate teams but at the same time, a team of Bones and Beards and what insanity they try would be hilarious.

  2. So Mortarion still has "Attendants' claws and teeth" as well as "Phosphex bombs" right? Neither were used here, as well as his extra Plaguecompany warlord trait. Wondering if I missed something.

  3. I am AMPED to play melee DG … FINALLY! Mortarion, Plague Marines loaded with sickly sticks to poke enemies with and Possessed to lead the charge (and bodyguard the PMs thanks to Cloud of Flies) of Nurgle hugs! Seriously, I just want Plague Marines with all our melee options claiming part of the board with the Foetid Virion to support them and Mortarion doing what he does best on the other side of the field. I'm not sure where my Daemon Prince and his 2 Mower Drone escort will be, but I assure you they'll be having a good time when they get there … Win or lose, it's going to be SO much fun!

  4. Not sure if this gets addressed later in the video, but WotA got changed in the new SM codex in that it's now used during your command phase and it lasts until your next command phase. So it shouldn't have been able to be used on the dreadnought after it interrupted in the fight phase.

  5. I'm a struggling actor in the UK, I love warhammer I play drukhari, was great to find out these guys came from an acting background (old vic is a seriously good school). A few other actors/creatives I know like warhammer, seems to be a thing! These guys make the best battle reports on youtube, awesome.

  6. Maybe a stupid question. But the CP for ultramarines I don’t understand. I thought you got 12 for 2k points. The battalion -3, auxiliary detach -3/ +3 for guilloman. Then he spend some for relics. What am I missing. Cause I’m sure I’m wrong not them lol.

  7. How each round and turn is edited/summarised, like the guys and finally, the occasional phrase such as “now, the shooting phase…the phase of shooting…now, the heavy bolt rifle…the rifle that is heavy…” Subscribed 😌

  8. Love the quick play by play. Makes the game go by a bit faster. I also like how well you two communicate in the game. Only thing I would want is maybe keep the camera a bit more on the board. Sometimes I wanted to take a look of the field and the camera would not move. Overall a great battle report. You bois earned a sub!

  9. Must have already been said somewhere, but a few times Bone forgot he reduces damage by 1. Like the fight with pappa smurf on the lord of contagion. He takes 2 dmg 3 hits, should have become 4 dmg and then roll his 6+ shrug, instead of 6 shrugs. He would have also survived. Haha never mind it was edited! me and my big mouth :p
