Good game mates, nice to see Demon in the channel again, he is a complete boss, and the game is quite balanced in terms of play/tactic level. Rules things... just the bigger ones: - power familiar grants you +1 power dice AND +1 dispell dice. Stos should get 7 dispell dices, not 6 - killing blow only works against infantry or cavalry-size models. Not against monsters, chariots, monstruous infantry, etc. - Dragon ogres have 4W each. The dire wolves needed to do 2, and not one, to kill one ogre - If you charge with a character out of a unit, you can not charge with the unit as well. This is quite important. The unit can move, but can't charge - you can not issue or accept challenges if you are not in base contact with the enemy...for example, the campion of the grave guard can not accept the challenge of the herd campion, because the undean champion is not in base contact with any enemy model. If you are in contact, even with models of other enemy unit, then you can issue or accept challenges. - infantry size single models, like skirmishers, have no flanks (because they face the enemy that charge them)...until they are in combat!! once in combat, they have flanks and a rear like other units. And about the "luck thing", the dice rolls and so on. I have seen absolutely crazy games in this channel. Remember an O&G vs Brettonia where the poors O&G didn't achieve anything, a ridicoluos game where dice ruined everything. But in this game....it is not the case. Damon had terrible dice rolls (like Stos) again and again, the first combat round vs zombies was awful, a miscast in first spell, several times getting 2 or 3 1s wounding on 2s...the develop of the game did't be smashed by dice rolls. The VC list has one mega-bunker, this bunker ends up out of position chasing the bestigors...that's it man, the rest of the BH army surrounds and destroys you. Getting trapped with the black knights, charging with zombies against spears (¡!!), putting all the power in the same unit...magic, even a huge amount of it, can not resolve everything. And Damon also made some mistakes (witch is natural, you are human beings) and the game was nice. Complain about every single not-average roll makes no sense in this case. Hope see you fight each other soon. These are the best duels in this channel.

A battle report from Rogue Element Gaming and a glass of whiskey makes for a fantastic Friday night.

The best place to watch WHF battles right now, keep up the good work! I'm jealous

Very entertaining 👍👍 Just a few things i saw: - vampire hounds could not charge the herd after catching the centigors as they could not see them behind the hill. - killing blow doesn’t work on dragon ogre or minos, just infantry and cavalry base models. - the double charge on 2 different targets is not possible in V6 Cheers

Another fantastic battle report, absolutely love these. You mentioned killing blow against the Dragon Ogres, just to remind you that killing blow only works against man size models (though I think there may be some exceptions) Keep up the good work and the videos coming!

Both armies are beautiful. You managed to keep the army look cohesive and the units unique at the same time. Props to you both! Looking forward to watching the battle

Great battle report as always!! I think you make the best WHF 6th edition battle reports in youtube right now!! Keep on this way!! Regards from Spain

Always, always, always enjoy seeing these Beastmen hit the table. Tremendous report!

i think the trouble was that vampire lord was sitting in that slow infantry block and not doing much for most of the game. He shouldve left the unit - he wouldnt have been march blocked then, and could've tipped the scales on the big melee in the center!

Killing blow doesn't work on multi-wound monstrous infantry or monsters my dude (there are some exceptions to this rule but they don't apply to models armed with a Wight Blade). Its basically just man-sized models you can do it to. I know it never came off but was mentioned both in the combat with the Dragon Ogres and the Minotaurs.

Awesome game guys ( 2:26 hr yes, once engaged characters are considered to have flanks and rears)

This was such a good report, and happy to see you all keeping such good spirits even after things went sour for your own side

Wonderful battle! Lots of movement and cool moments. Dice do what dice do! Great to see a more interesting scenario too, would love to see more of that!

Great game and absolutely love that Damon and those beautiful beasts are back on the channel. To be honest, it’s about time that Damon had some luck with the dice gods!

Damon is one of my favorite guests, he's hilarious

Damon needs to be wearing a ‘Mr Above Average’ t-shirt every time he’s on from now on!

You just made my (already good) long weekend a whole lot better! Keep up the good work!

Great battle again guys! Thanks for bringing the content. Cool to see a different list again from Damon. Love to see a big monster like the Shaggoth on the table. Especially when he can't get insta-killed by artillery. Good sport from both. With your luck in the last turns, you're allowed a bit of salt there, Stos. I got up to a 1600 points battle with a friend recently and it was glorious. Thanks for inspiring me, and undoubtedly others to get back on the table.

So great to see these fantasy reports. Great hosting and awesome camera work.

A "Yay!" for the winner, I was rooting for you, and an "Aww" for the fallen. That was a very good game, well entertained, thanks guys .. what a flip, I was wondering what can happen next, wasn't disappointed. As always, a pleasure to see you both play.

Love the unit variety in the Vampire Counts list. The Black Knights look amazing, too. Nothing better than Warhammer on a Friday morning :)

Calling out an irresistible force after getting one moments ago then pulling it off is proof that confidence gets you far

Yeah, another new Battle Report! Now my Friday is off to a good start 🙂 Such beatiful armies and friendly players! Keep it up! Regards from Germany

Just getting back into 6th edition after a short 20 year break, loving the battle reports.

Would love to see you run this one back, would not be mad if you slyly turned this into a 6th edition Vampire Counts channel!

Amazing battle! Thanks a lot!!!

Oh wonderful, I needed something good today! :D Always happy to see Damon too!

That's the entertainment for a three hour flight sorted ❤

Every kill you got you should put the pelt of the dead beastmen on your models with green stuff! Love it and love this channel!❤❤❤❤

Hi guys! Maybe I counted wrong, but dragon ogres have 4 Wo, not 3. He wasn't supposed to die on turn 5 vamp!

🧂🧂🧂🧂 🤣 - loved it, especially as i'd normally consider it a mismatch (fear causing vs low ld!). As always, looking forward to the next instalment

Love seeing these battle reports!

This one was a cool game! Thank you both!

Damn Damon! That Dragon Ogre Shaggoth looks amazing! And it took the Beastie Boyz to deal with these Undead, nice job mate! ;)

Can't wait to sit down and enjoy this. One of my factions (VC) and my bros. Awesome stuff, guys!

Thanks for sharing an absolutely MAGICAL battle! Damon really hit the upper end of the avarage with the dice rolls this time, but you still held until the very end!! And what an epic challenge between the Shaggoth and Dragislav, such a framing and conslusion! Love ever second of it!

I really enjoyed this epic scrap. ;)

Great battle report, thank you for making these! A random question: do you use the extend front/lapping round rules for winning combats at all (pg 77)? I don't think I've ever seen it in any battle report, either on your channel or any other, and I've had several times wondered whether I just dreamed that rule or if it really existed. It is a very weird rule compared to later editions for sure.

Shouldnt the Rank Bonus be neglected by most of the flank charges? So the undead would have crumbled way faster...

SPOILER: Loved the epic showdown at the end! These two need to meet again to settle the score.

I must say, disproportionate salt! I don't think Damon's good roles were relevant the outcome as they didn't come until after the game was lost (BKs charged by Drogres and Vamp out of position/march blocked). Damon does the Beastmen envelopment well too, and largely adheres to the adage "friends don't let friends charge unsupported". Many a point going into that Vampire Lord, if models are available a Count would mean another 10+ (very flexible, very annoying) ghouls could have done their dirty business. Also I am very keen on Stos ghoul voiceover so anything that facilitates that is a win. Good fun as always, thanks for putting in the work Stos!

This is amazing! And fantastic paint jobs!

Again a wonderful Battle Report, thanks guys! For the next time: Dragonogres have 4 HP each, not 3 - would have make a different in the combat with the wolves :)

Great game with great armies. My chaos dudes are ready and they are playing some games in a fortnight. Hope they do as well as Damons beasts! Cheers!

great report, feels like that could have gone either way at times. Love watching the Vampire Counts in action, just start putting together a VC list for 6th ed myself, so it's great getting to see them in action

Great video. Maybe my memory is wrong, but I remember automaticly fleeing if you lost against an outnumbering enemy causing fear...

Recently subscribed to your channel and really enjoying watching the battle reports. I'm new to warhammer having gotten into it through the total war games. I Recently started collecting an Orc and Goblins army. Dunno if you do video requests, but if you do, would you be able to do a guide on warhammer fantasy table top for beginners, or where to start? Keep up the great videos 😀

I don't quite understand your 'ghoul trap' with the black knights behind? Wouldn't he just be able to redirect the charge into the black knights after the ghouls fled?

Just what I needed to kick off the weekend. This is gonna be good!

Fantastic game chaps. You might have said this little error by mistake. But you said 6s ate killing blow on the Black Knights hitting the Dragon Ogres. Killing blow only works against man sized targets...

Reminds me of my days playing 6th, I got the rule book and codex still. Should play a game again, to much 8th all i play now.

Nice game. All melee and positioning focused. Liked it. Questions about the fight between the dragon ogres and the wolves. The dragon ogres have 3 or 4 wounds? (i think i've missed one during a previous turn). Wich unit strenght has a songle dragon ogre?

Oh yes, my evening entertainment sorted

In the first combat of shaggoth+herd vs skellies you forgot to coukt the herd's rank bonus for combat res. While beast herds act a lot like skirmishers they can specifically gain rank bonus of up to +2.

Congratulations Damon for the victory (and choosing the only correct Chaos God)! Loved to see a Shaggoth on the table - So sad it didn't have the rules from the White dwarf test list (?), as it's really weak in its current incarnation. Again some questions/remarks regarding the game from my side: 1. Turn 3 when the Zombies were charged in the flank of the Gor-herd: Is there no panic check required for the flank charge, as the herd is engaged in combat? 2. Does Killing Blow really work on Monstrous Infantry like Minotaurs? If yes, would someone be able to give me a rules page? 3. @Damon: Why no Sword of Might on your BSB? 4. @Stos: As you said it yourself: The gravest mistake was to pursue with your grave guard, thus removing them from the game. This shows why "all eggs in one basket" does not pay off most of the time. Sure Damon did not intend to do this on purpose, but he effectively removed a big chunk of your army from the game. Stos, now imagine an opponent doing this with a ludicrous cheap unit: 30 pts leading your 700 (?) points unit around... I know, what I would do XD. 5. @Stos: Next time your book of Arkhan is not allowed to work. ...Always forgetting to roll the die... :D Thank you guys for uploading the game. I loved seeing Damon having success in the magic phase and using similar dice to mine for the Slaanesh army ;) Keep on gaming, kind regards FA

always good to see a good battle! Just one question: why going full command on VC? They never run, so the point of musician could be spent a bit better?

Is it even a hill if there isnt a dwarven cannon on it?

GOOD OLD FANTASY!

Would Vladislav have won his first combat with the shaggoth by 1 because he had a flank charge? Or does the shaggoth turn to face because he wasnt in combat?

Probably been asked many times but where did you secure the magic cards?

oh boy oh boy

these friday releases are killing my productivity... but what a brilliant distraction 👍

TY Sir.

I'm pretty sure a model on foot with full plate and shield only has a 4+ armor save, not 2+... Did I miss something?

oh, and remember- you don't get rank bonuses when disrupted by a flank charge I think!

I love your zombies, omg they are so scary

1:08:16 11 attacks but only 9 dice.

When a unit charges, a character has to charge with it. He can't charge out of the unit in the same turn.

Very nice :-) thank you guys! Ever had the idea to play a campange?

Vampire counts, Beastmen and Damon. Before even watching i know its going to be awesome. Spoiler alert. It was awesome.

Nice report.. at 1:38:27 you take rank bonus but being flanked? Doesnt that negate the bonus?

great battle very enjoyable!

Awesome game! Crazy rolls for sure😂

Nice game lads.

nice battle report, please do more dwarf videos

Did Invocation of Nehek get errata'd to allow it to be cast multiple times?

My third Try to comment, my German Keyboard in Kombination with my School Englisch (over 40 Year ago) and my Warhammer English (since 2nd Edition) killed Text by auto-fill up with absurd Words....... This Time the Dice God was a Beast, but your entertainement is binding in the Story and the Charakter of the Game, Little Note The vampire could charge the Shaman and return to his Unit in the middle of the Game ?

For the Mooooooo. 😊

🙌

Matty b!!

No dwarfs?

Lot of mileage for an antiquated WH rules set, though arguably the most balanced edition strategically. Would like to see such enthusiasiasm and comraderie in a real world scenario with all the worst kind of exploitation allowed to be perpetrated unto young UK girls by foreign phallic cultists, not to mention 'woke' everything, rampant drig/alcohol/porn addiction, and abyssmal public education. But we gots are fantasy war on fantasy 'battlefields with plastic toy soldiers+painted oh, so nice. So its all good 😅

Stoss must have the strongest right arm in all of Aus! Holding a camera for hour after hour like this. 💪🦾
