This is one of the few matchups where I unironically like stormvermin (sword and board) they deal with wardancers, can't be shot easily and most people don't realise they're stormvermin. They just assume they're clanrats so you can get some good fights pretty easily.

I love the sound of the Grey Seer's bell tolling away as he rides around. I wonder if it would have been viable to include some sneaky rats to go try and get a back cap on objective 1 or at least serve as a distraction.

What a wild comeback. I feel like Skaven needed some mass or more reactive positioning on their natural to prevent WE light cav from isolating units and getting good trades where they had no right to.

Im fascinated by the sheer scale of the battles in this game Im nowhere near this smart and tactical for this type of genre but i do enjoy watching such matches

You remember the old forest, on the Borders of Buckland? Folk used to say there was something in the water that made the tree grow tall....and come alive! Trees that could whisper, talk to each other, even stream......

10:13 I agree here for sure. The quintessential complaint about Wood Elves is that their kite-centric style of play is annoying to play against but everything that they can field to play another way is prohibitively expensive. I'm sure WE players would love to field sisters of thorn builds which buff infantry lines enough to buffer for heavy hitting archers that don't need to draw the enemy across the whole map, but it's hard to do because those pieces are hard to afford together. A few reasonable cost reductions could open up all kinds of new styles of play! Imagine huge flank overloads as Zoats + Wild riders hammer a side of the enemy army, relying on some treekin (and perhaps the lord) to try and hold the weak-flank together! There's a lot that we haven't seen from the faction (one of a few that hasn't gotten too many spiffy updates like GS or LM) and I hope that a little love comes their way to open up those scenes to cool new vids!

The lizardmen's rez crystal might be pretty good to pair up with the lost sylvan knights. It'll rez models and heal them. Maybe combo it with a life wizard heal and just see the units rise from the dead near instantly with an overcast regrowth lol.

That woodelf lord was chilling out waaaaaaay too much. He could have shut those catapults down just by threatening them. Or pull the opponents micro to that spot.

What a freaking awesome game! The Asrai are my favourite faction (collect them on the tabletop) so seeing them make such a clutch comeback is just BEAUTIFUL.

Great game. Good on Pinkamena for submitting a loss

lizards rev crystal revives models, so in a 2v2 situation you could bring back models with that

I thought the game was over when the Skaven has a value advantage of 3000, and were winning on objectives by 400 points. What a comeback! Skaven really lost their teeth once the plagueclaw catapults ran out of ammunition.

LOL "Where are all my Skaven??" which is the most skaven-like experience you could run into. Accurate

Players sending in their close losses are class acts

This is very reflective of my experience fighting Skaven in campaign - constantly fearing the next plague claw or warp lightning impact

Just what I needed, a nice battle. Thanks!

Wow! I was amazed that the skaven managed to lose that, but I do love my good rat boys, so I'm glad to see them.

Always fun to get a surprise like that!

That's what I'm talking about! Not that chaos skirmishing BS. This was WAY MORE fun to watch than 10 marauder horsemen back and forth

Well played by both teams lapse in micro on skaven lost them the game they won so hard I think he relaxed

That's a lot of rats. I love it.

Awsome game and Awsome casting! I enjoyed the cinematic shots with infantry, cavallery, magic and plague all over a lot. I know that the channel is competitive-focused but every now and then a less "what's the state of the game" and more "this game is beautiful" approach makes for a great video!

Dont get why not using the dwellers on catapult instead of stupid rats Welves can clean chaff pretty easily and you have the choixe between targetting garbage units who can dodge the spell very quickly or high damage pieces of artillery which will rekt all your high quality units. The kights died in 2 minutes cause of the catapults and without their pressure, the archers could have probably killed or at least route the skaven general Feel like a big misplay by the big ears and the start would have been much easier :(

I think the Hawk-Eyes of Drakira (the RoR Waywatchers) are worth bringing in this match-up. Like you say in the video, if Skavens bring weapon teams, Waywatchers can pick them off quickly and efficiently, but they're not great against chaff, as we could see in this battle. On the other hand, the RoR has a contact effect on missile fire reducing leadership by 16, so a single volley on an already wounded Clanrats unit will rout them instantly. By switching targets for each volley, Wood Elves could get mass routs across the whole frontline, accruing a ton of value without having to sacrifice their elite missile troops. On top of that, the RoR is much more accurate than basic Waywatchers, so they're great for lord-sniping.

i feel like a unit of hawk riders would have made this match a lot easier for the wood elves. the catapults carried the skaven. so, perhaps a combo of wardancers and hawk riders would do the trick easier.

Best game I’ve seen in quite a while! What a game!

Sad I didn't see any Ratlings which I think would have been great here; I agree not quite the right balance of ranged damage to meat-shields for the ratty boys but nonetheless a fun match to watch :)

Having been playing the Vermintide Endgame Crisis, just hearing that bell gives me a Pavlovian sense of anger.

Lizardmen res crystal + regrowth lets any unit revive models.

Would the Wood Elves have had an easier time bringing Durthu with flock of doom + the hero life mage instead? Obviously one can't predict exactly what's coming, but flock of doom seems like it would have helped a lot.

Sisters with volley fire would have gotten like a 1000 kills in this battle XD

Dang skaven really threw the game. They had over 2000 supply saved up but didn't summon anything to keep the objective. And had a bunch of units just chilling across the map

Great game

I never played any Warhammer (even owning them) but like to watch matches sometimes. I know Skaven army is based on cheap units but the disproportion on start is really massive, on loading screen 20 units vs 11. Does these battle are based on point like with Warhammer 40k when players create armies to max amount for example 2 000 points? I like that elves here win even against those massive artillery bombardments. Tree Kins such a bosses....

plague claws are looking isane in most matches ive been seeing

I believe this was the finals of one of the tournaments

so cool I gotta try this

Very interesting game! :)

Should those ghost knights break?

verMINtide! I didn't play that game for 800 hours for its name to be misspelled!! (love your content, kiss kiss)

What is this lord unsummoning cheese? I've seen it done in ranked matches but I still don't know why they do it.

I was about to click off the video assuming WE lose hard but that was a big surprise return

skaven had 0 ranged units (outside artilary), but the WE flying caster didn´t flew to dwellers the catapults?? still won, but i don´t got why he did that

WOw amazing!

The sisters of the thorn Should get a cost reduction Because their shield of thorns bound spell change ,made them much more useless I also would like to see zoats get cheaper Wildriders also And this is small But wardancers bladesingers and the RoR wardancers should get vanguard They literally worship the god of trickery Maybe not the wardancers But the RoR wardancers should And bladesingers since they are the elite followers of Loe'c

Imagine this vermin tide encountering belegar, 2 thane, 3 iron drake, and 1 gyro

Looked like he skaven player went afk halfway through?

Those catapults firing uncontestet and doing so much damage on expensive elvish troops is bothering me hard.

i dont think you will respond to this but how many realy good players do you think would be in the "no pros no problems league" ? (also i love your vids

great game

GG

gg

Can we get more land battles and less domination?

Haven't watched yet, will be immeasurably disappointed if my Welves lose

I don`t understand the WE player in the beginning. Why bring your high value troops on the flank where you have to fight through mass of cheap chaff while being shot by the catapults? Use your speed, attack the other flank.

Treekin were the MVP, bad micro lost skaven the match

Pink throwing the game for no reason, weird asf...

Vermintide battles are so bland

please destroy the plagueclaws

Usually I don't criticize people's play in these because I'm just not that good at the game, but the WE player throwing Dwellers at clanrats and skavenslaves instead of the catapults kinda just hurt my soul. Like, you *have* to know those are the big damage dealers messing up your troops right now and there's nothing out there that can stop your caster, just get rid of them and then the units you already brought with you will have basically free reign to slaughter the rodents. Hell, he basically got to do that when the skaven player lapsed and he lost those catapults.
