In this video Skaven Mike is in the house as we playtest the new Slaves to Darkness battle tome! Mike isn't taking it easy on me, as he has brought a high powered Skaven list! Get ready for warpfire to engulf the host of the Everchosen as we see just how tanky the new Knights and Warriors are. Archaon himself has come to play for this one and will face down a Verminlord Deceiver AND Thanquol on Boneripper. Hope you guys enjoy the video, we had a blast!!

Great video! I always love seeing the slaves to darkness :) Something small I noticed in Skaven's 2nd charge phase (43:48), Archaon could have used the monsterous rampage from Dorghar's Nurgle head on the gutter runners since it has 6' range

Yes, a small missed opportunity there. I was surprised at how well an army with only 4 units can do!! We have 2 more slaves to darkness batreps in the pipe, one vs oops all brutes and one vs oops all dragons! Hope you can check em out!!

I think the most intriguing part of this match was Archaon's eye ability. I still haven't figured how best to use it now that its open knowledge. In this match it definitely helped me more in terms of being more aggressive. I observed that I was talking about my possibilities more than David was. That said I also noticed that managing individual bonuses become more higher risk higher reward. If you know you're being double turned, mystic shield for example suddenly is going to do work. Whereas if you have buff spells like Death Frenzy, your SOD opponents are forcing you to earn those casts every turn. That said, I think it was still wise to do it early because of the nature of David's list, one that would be in my face between the first 2 rounds, so that 1 to2 round swing would be so important. Also our rat-ducken analogy was king.

All good points! I think the best us of the eye of Ed Sheridan is when you are taking the second turn. Then you can focus on scoring without over reaching, or if you get the double just smash into you opponent. Doing it at top of the turn just allowed you to be more aggressive, thank goodness I had MW saves, otherwise there would have been no army left by the bottom of round 2. Always great playing with you bro, I hope you come out again soon !

@Kernel_Kertz Жыл бұрын
Either way you can play more aggressively or conservatively knowing who's going first. However, I wouldn't ever use it at the top of the round because that gives your opponent more of an advantage from it than you get.

@thomasd2851 Жыл бұрын
Imo Archaon builds gotta be 1 drop so you give turn 1 away. Probably use his Eye ability in turn 2 going into 3, depending on how aggressive your opponent was turn 1 you can also use it going second in turn 1. Knowing if you are getting the double is absolutely incredible and certainly a wrong move to let the Skaven player know he has a double turn as seen in this batle report, hence you gotta be 1 drop. Nurgle is also a must for Archaon to me - He isnt a killing machine, hes a huge tank. Warriors move up on objectives and capture them. Knights run around and flank and Archaon ties up key units. Like if Archaon hadnt use Eye and had tied up Thanquol this match instead of chasing 100 pts units and the Knights were chasing down the warplightning cannons or whatever, the game would have looked a lot different.

Brutal matchup! My buddy who runs Archaon and Slaves to Darkness ran a list that was almost exactly the same with the new Battletome, too. The Chaos Warriors with Nurgle/Eroding Icon is grooooosssssss. Super chonky boys. I have to be honest about something... I'm not wild about those Slaves to Darkness dice... 😬 The contrast between the dice and pips just isn't very bright, and it makes them kind of annoying to read... I had a hard time making them out in real-time. They're still nice, I'm just not in love with them. To address the question of sticky terrain: I'd say that unless the rules explicitly say otherwise, contesting terrain features works like contesting objectives. So whoever held it last continues to hold it, same with objectives. But that's my input. Big thing here is the Eye of Sheerian ability. Its supposed to be hidden from the opponent. 🤫 You roll the die and keep it it hidden, but you still get to look at it yourself. So you can plan for the following round, but your opponent has to guess. Makes for a fun mind game. I get that its hard to showcase with a battle report like this, short of Mike (BTW, welcome back, Mike! 😁) leaving the room or averting his eyes while David rolls for the benefit of the audience. But I feel like it played a big part in the first 2 rounds here. Also, a minor thing here... I think in Round 3 or 4, David gave Archaon Heroic Willpower for an extra unbind, but only non-wizard heroes can use that Heroic Action. Probably wouldn't have made a difference. But still. Super interesting game! Loved how it came down to the absolute wire at the end! Can't wait to see more Slaves to Darkness on the channel! 😁

I will say the warriors are great, also a 10 block of horses with tzeentch mark and banner for 4+shooting ward is very strong, if you take a chaos warshrine, you can make them -1 to wound with the prayer. Rally on 5+ is also very good, in another game this week, I rallied 4 of them on 5 dice and it won me the game. The new tome is great and look forward to trying numerous lists with them! We have a special guest who runs orks competitively and I will be taking him on with both Slaves to darkness and Stormcast Eternals, so stay tuned for that!

Eye is no longer hidden from the opponent using the new rules. The best way to use it is take second turn and bank on the double.

Frankly I could have out-right won the game if I hadn't moved my gutter runners away from the very corner. That would have been too far a charge even with a demonic speed, triple dice charging Archaon. The rest of my army could have died body blocking the big guy at bottom of 5 and I still had it. No excuses there.
