Tournament overlay elements still showing, oh yeah now this is a Turin video!

Shout out to Subutai for providing us with consistent and great replays!

BO5 FINALS

I still cant get over the Fact that the great Vomitus has a measily 370 Weaponstrenght. He´s a 5 Meter tall Demon. How does he hit like a wet Noodle?

Regarding the Tzeentch Soul Grinder change: the way it's always worked is that the "javelin" they throw is essentially five small projectiles fired in exactly the same arc which is still how it works against SEMs That "Javelin" is considered a guided projectile. And since it has multiple projectiles, it benefits from the change to those sorts of attacks introduced in 5.0. Hence the spreadshot against multi-entity targets

Archaon is notably overcosted when just comparing his combat performance for the cost. He's strong, but there are much cheaper lords that can out-fight him and provide simlar or better support, and pairing with another sorcerer that's also paying a "tax" on their combat stats for the ability to cast spells is doubling down on that wizard "tax". Doing this sort of double caster build is basically cutting the value of Archaon in half, since you're not getting much from his spells, and being a strong hybrid is what really lets him be a competitive choice (albeit one that's vulnerable to sniping because his health isn't particularly high). If you're just looking for a mounted fighting lord to pair with healing, a Chaos Lord of Nurgle on rotbeast is about as strong as Archaon and is significantly cheaper and provides excellent battleline support with -40%-55% WS (It's possibly a bug, but the icon item is able to start stacking up again and applying the 1st and 2nd levels of its effect without dropping the 3rd level of the effect that has infinite duration, because the Nurgle lord with it reduces WS by more than 50% sometimes). Or you can go for Kholek, who's again stronger and cheaper with more HP. Just taking a sorc lord could very well be the way in this match up though. I don't see much need for an expensive/powerful lord vs Daemons. That or Valkia to help put pressure on changebringers, since they're a unit that WoC has very limited options against. Valkia/Tzeentch disc characters are likely the best options for going after them, since marauder cav range is too short to rely on, and doom knights are quite a bit more expensive and more vulnerable to horrors shooting in from the ground.

Can't stop thinking of Nurgle Daniel being shortened even further to Nurgy Dan.

Green Ulgor passing out Grandfather's blessings gives me great joy

@TurinRTS the buff to all daemons units was like 5-10 leadership for all of them. Helps them out ALOT.

Medusas also do spray shots against multi-model units now. I tried it against Bloodletters, and the first shot took them down to 60% HP. Granted that it's an ideal target (tight formation, low armor, phys-res negated by magic shots) but still. Even Dwarf infantry get seriously pummeled by Medusas now.

These battle reports are so good i watch almost every one

Almost a big accidental unsummon at 1:56 on the three skirmish cav. Good save.

People say the BO5 is still there to this day😂

Goddammit Turin.. He truly is our haggard lord.

Spirit leech might’ve won the game. The demons had a lot of sky control so being able to damage them would’ve been huge

I'm starting to really love Daemon plays.

14 seconds is the earliest I’ve ever been to a video let’s go

A mix of armored and biletrolls slongside archeon with crown for itp makes for a verry potent deathstar

Dampen from the RoR Flesh Hounds was an incredibly shrewd play from Subutai -- GG all around!

It's SO COOL watching elite daemon infantry actually work out here! Great game, was rooting for both sides lmao.

It looked like the first burning head was also sub-optimal, it tagged the Sourguts and seemed to miss everything else (which allowed the Sourguts to ignore it once their shields came back) but that might have just been the way it drifted after being cast.

"The Dreaded HouseCat" 😭😭

Turin, what's that new green icon on HP bar on regenerating units? Does it tell how much HP they regained or it's just here to indicate that unit has regeneration?

The dreaded, haggard BO5 FINALS

I'm waiting for someone to try a forbidden Valkia with nurgle sorc and her shield skill

A deamon prince of nurgle with just 370 weapon strength seems like bs to me

Fiends, soul grinders, deamonettes, exhalted demonettes, pinks, bloodletters and exhalted bloodletters got a ld buff. Maybe I forgot something

Where do you guys get all these domination maps?

Awesome matchup 2 underplayed factions, abit confusing to spectate lol

Very cool elite demon build, I hope the leadership buffs make the daemonic factions more viable

Hell yeah Archaon.

hell yeah

Archaon needs a buff lmao

Arkaon the everchosen of chaos, still not unbreakable in vanilla lol

i like that the range units got buffs same with the medusa model but both of them need like some slight nerfs i hope they keep the buff but nerf it some, its to many kills atm for soul grinder and medusa.

Dope!

Goodbye evey pre-dlc chaos caster :)

CoH3 stream soon king?

Okay damage 870 XD

1:50 Specifically CA reworked the tracking on any seeking missiles, they will now target randomly selected entities in a unit when able as opposed to all of them targeting the same one This buff to the tzeentch soul grinder was likely unintentional as the fix was originally intended to help the hawk riders ability on campaign as the sisters of twilight

Daemon on Daemon action. Yikes.

Gg

haha burning head is what I call my girlfriend

Non having furies or harpies on WoC really hurts =(
