Both armies are beautiful, but that Slaanesh horde is just AMAZING! Absolutely incredible, a true work of love and insanity.

Giant has a rule that makes him ignore panic caused by cavalry size models and smaller

Currently making my own 6th edition Beasts of Chaos army beacuse of this channel, love the effort put into these!

Great game, fantastic emotional moments. Some thing to be aware of, if the chaos Knights are frenzied, they must pursue the Ghouls. They don't get to try to restrain. Also they would of had to declare a charge in the following turn as well (due to being frenzied)

As always, what a fantastic start to the weekend! I think Dwayne would have been better served refraining from issuing challenges with Gronk, instead just swinging into the Necromancer who appeared to be in base-contact (the Zombies not having a champion meant he could not be counter-challenged, in this regard - which might be something to think about for your future battles!). Also, I'm sure it was played correctly, but just because it wasn't mentioned, Undead units can only march when within 12" of their General.

The chaos army is very wonferful.. the banners,the minis,very oldschool ...I LOVE them

Vampire Counts, turn 5, magic phase: You cannot dispel a spell in play and then cast a spell of your own. See the 6th edition rule book, page 139. This is important because of the risk of miscasts: The magic phase might end rather abruptly because of a double one when you try to cast one of your own spells. If it is very important that you dispel a spell in play (like it was in your case), you might want to abstain from casting spells of your own, just in case you miscast. But generally a really good battle report, like always. Keep up the good work!

Gotta remember that auto-break when outnumbered by a fear causing enemy my dudes. Also, Grunk should have taken a fear test even when using Steed of Shadows to charge I think, and obviously should not have issued a challenge, but I a respect the fact that he did as it's thematic. Additionally, refused challenges return to the front rank at the end of the combat phase which was well remembered (not that it should have mattered as Grunk should have fled regardless). Pretty sure that going by the Annual, that neither of the chases should have resulted in new combats. The fleeing player does have some leeway in terms of where they flee within the rules. So could have fled at a more oblique angle.

My Friday just got SIGNIFICANTLY better! And damn that Slaanesh army looks more and more crazy every time x)

That was a good game, twists, shockers, laughs, and groaners, everything I want from a game. Lovely looking table, enviable armies, so much eye candy ... even the weird stuff that makes me wonder if I need to roll for sanity loss. Thanks for another evening of quality entertainment.

So good to see my mans Duane back on the channel!

The king of editions and the edition of kings! 👑 Just in time for the weekend, cheers both!

Finally I had time to finish the video and it really was a great and entertaining battle. The humour and commenting is great and it really gives me a push to continue the painting of my own army.

Again, superb batrep. The fun you guys have is just cool. The result is, that me and at least one buddy are restarting 6th edition as well. Skaven (me) vs Hordes of Chaos. But more armies are already in the making. Cheers from Germany

Oh thank sigmar! Was contemplating sacrificing to the dark gods for a video Release, guess I gotta put the goat back.

The amount of chase and chop down that you narrowly missed, so so unlucky. Great vid. Love the Fantasy content.

Absolutely amazing armies. Duane delivers once more

Oh yeah, been waiting for this one to drop! Love seeing the latest additions to Duane’s awesome army. That Chaos Giant is gorgeous - 👍👍 Tip top vid as usual Stos 😊

Fantastic armies and a great game to watch - thanks for sharing it. I always find a grave guard unit with a vampire in it unstoppable. The Slaanesh army was beautiful.

It's so nice that Duane saves all his bad luck for these battle reports... Love his army, kudos to him for sure! What a great game, so enjoyable to watch!

Great battle! My 2 favourite factions going at it. That Chaos Giant in particular is amazing. Would love to see Ogre Kingdoms sometime!

i always love stos' reaction to a double 1

Congrats on the 4K. You should play a 4K game to celebrate !

Lovely batrep, I'm pretty impressed that it takes a giant in full swing, a unit of knights and a brutally kitted out hero to kill a unit of basic skellies!

Hi, Just noticed some mistakes: - marauders don’t have to take panic test, because the one fleeing is a single model with less than 5 wounds - the giant too doesn’t need to take panic test, because of his special rules (size of cavalry or less) - you can pursue a unit only if you won the combat phase, so after marauders fled after panic, you can’t chase them since there was no combat phase yet

I got my own VC assembled enough to play with last week! Thanks for these videos for being an inspiration for me and my old gaming buddy, doing great work!

honestly didnt expect this to turn into such a nail biter after those brutal morale checks in the first few rounds. Awesome Game boys, I hope the unluckiest of giants is happy about his zombie in a bag consolation price

Thanks for sharing Warhammer Fantasy!! Amazing battle! 👏👏👏

God zamn that giant. A beasting look, and beasting in combat.

Great game, I spotted a couple of errors but most have been addressed already. The only one that hasn't is the Knights could not restrain from pursuing the Ghouls as they were frenzied and had to.

Laid up sick with Covid and bored out of my mind. This will make things much better. Cheers for the good timing folks!

Nice game lads. Very back and forth. Just FYI the giant didn't need to take a panic test as stated in the Beasts book on pg29. "Ignore Little 'Un Panic". Cheers.

Wow, what an incredibly beautifully and disturbingly crafted Slaanesh army 😂

That Chariot is insanely cool what an amazing army

Beautiful armies and table! Well done!

So excited for this game, good Lucky for the both of you

Hell yeah! Duane Report! I'm here for it!

Finally finished watching the bat rep and what a great see-sawing battle it was! I thought Duane might have had it in the bag towards the end, but he managed to pull defeat from the jaws of victory with the untimely and unfortunate death of his General. I could imagine Dragislav just pissing himself laughing as he watched his enemy plunge his own sword into his chest and drop dead. GG boys!

Great video, amazing armies like always! Thanks for making possible. Stos: Nehek have range and there are many times without measure. Also the ranks are taken into account in some combats and in others they are not (Duane takes the brunt) Anyways.... always a pleasure watch the battlereport! Cheers up with your projects

epic back n forth battle, great stuff

Oh lovely! just got home with a box of River Trolls to build and then this - great background, thanks Stos and Duane!

Hey guy with the glasses, where is Stos and what did you do to him? XD Kidding aside, another lovely battle report with the army of my favorite Chaos god - not Duane, Slaanesh ;) - with its old credo "been there, done that". Love the new models (and the pink and purple post-its in the rule book)! And man, this game was so flavorful when Duane was rolling so many 6s all along the way to please his infamous god! I'm still looking for the proclaimed empire army from Duane to strike back. Maybe there will be one with some chaos influence in the future ^^ Nonetheless, I have a ton of questions and remarks and maybe Stos and Duane you can give some insight into your decisions: 1. The turn when the Chaos hounds got charged by the wolves you forgot that the hounds were only allowed to roll 6s, as they did not pass their previous fear check 2. I think the undead steeds have WS2, so they should've hit the Chaos Knights on 5s 3. Do characters move back to front rank in the next turn, when they previously refused a challenge? Thought they would stay in the back rank until the fight is over? 4. @Duane: Good to see you use your Chaos Marauders in a block to generate rank and file boni. But why didn't you attach the Exalted champion to add combat power right from the start? Chaos Warriors 6-wide to increase their damage output, but equipping them with handweapon and shield is in my humble opinion achieving nothing. So either play them 6-wide with halberds or two handweapons or 4-wide with handweapon+shield 5. @Stos: Why the Zombie block 6-wide? I know you play most regiments 5-wide like I do, but Zombies are just there to be a tarpit 6. @Stos: I can understand your flavor reason to put Dragislav in the Wights, but then you have a costly unit (aka Death star) that can easily be dodged by a smart opponent! Loved to see a 9-man Ghoul unit, Well done! 7. @Stos: As the vampire player you could use the tactic of summoning new units and dancing them into flanks/rears more often (was a bit late for my taste, when you did that in turn 5 (?)) 8. Skirmishers and single characters should be able to march, right? I had the impression, that you didn't move them at full speed when you could 9. @Duane: I love your chariot model. Especially with the tiles on the platform. But why did you mount your Sorceror Lord on it? Why no normal Warhorse? If I remember correctly, you don't get the +2 armor save in close combat, as the character steps down from it. And if you remember some previous games, then your Chariot riding general will be a prime target for artillery ;) You could accompany him with 4 normal Chaos Knights at 132 points (adding a Mark of Slaanesh and Command models as you like) Kind regards FA

Vampire Counts turn 5. Combat results are worked out with ranks counting from the start of the combat, not what ranks are left after fighting. So the Chaos warriors had a supporting rank which should have given them an extra +1 in your combat resolution that round. Probably wouldn't have stopped them fleeing off the table, but something to remember next time.

Time to rewatch this while painting some weedy Night Gobbos.... ;)

Aww man! Why do I live on the other side of the world! I'd love to give you a game! Great armies guys and another brilliant video. Cheers!

Awesome game! I think "Suicide Duane" has definitely improved his game a fair bit! 😉😁 This one felt really close.

What a beautiful Chaos army. Cheers mate !

Epic BR! Art_of_duane is fantastic

Its impossible to paint and listen to this bat rep at the same time.. I'm in tears laughing,, also crying cause I goofed up some gold armor trim on my nice pristine white armor,, damn it!! Hilarious!!!

👍👍 for time-stamps!

Really cool battle, very exciting - poor Duane´s dude killing himself but hilarious!

Duane I am digging your army composition here. Reasonably competitive, and really really creative. Lore of Slaanesh is one of the more interesting in the game and I thought you used it well - the combination of frenzy and unbreakable was well-used, especially on the 1+ AS knights where you're (mostly) safe from the d6 S3 hits. You're reasonably lucky to have survived the daemon sword as long as you did, but bold and fun choice to put it on the wizard lord. I suppose the downside is it probably would have warranted being slightly more careful with who he charged as the risk of kabooming himself is very real (great idea to put him the chariot for +2 to AS though). The steed of shadows hero is a really cool idea, especially as a sneaky WM/wizard hunter. Violating your Slaanesh theme, but you could give him mark of nurgle to add fear and +1 W to the equation. Downgrading to an aspiring champ would offset the points difference over mark of Slaanesh. Something you might want to consider is adding some skirmishing units. You have very high point sinks on characters I've noticed in your lists (probably not least of all because they're very fun to convert and paint!), and if you shed some of those points you could get a unit or two of beastmen giving you a lot more tactical flexibility/screening capability. I'd certainly take them over Marauders, the T4 and ungor meat shields would keep them alive about as long, and the 360 degree charge at 10" would have been hard for Stos to counter with things like flimsy bats, wolves and reliance on IoN+charge tactics. One of my favorites I've watched, thanks guys!

What a crazy match! Love it!

Awesome Bat Rep with 2 amazing armies. Great video. Where did you get your Vampire count army from or did you already have it unpainted?

I was just thinking only yesterday that I could do with a REG upload 😊

I love these mats.. wish you noted where you get them from.. great batt rep thumbs up

Im really hoping they bring back the 25% allies rule, I want to do Chaos Warriors with beastmen!

My pleasure. Love your work!

The Slaanesh Army was very vibrant but also a lot of questionable composition decisions. Game ended up looking close because A. Vampire Counts can't capitalize on any of the big weaknesses and B. the dice were very lopsided for most of the game. Only major rules issue that I saw was Giants don't Panic from small models, Cav and Infantry, so that might have changed something. Otherwise good game. :]

Love the battle rep, Duane's army is looking absolutely spectacular as always! A pleasure to see both armies in action!

Very exited to see you clash

Lol i love hiw the General killed Himmeself against zombies

mate, have you considered using some tactics other than charging everything forward all at once to get into melee? Maybe some flanking/evasion maneuvers? 😅 Love the vids though haha, cheers from Sydney

vamp count turn 5. rolled a double one in magic . but didn't show or roll on miscast table

When the 1 knight died from the side effect if that frenzy spell shoukdnt they have taken a panic test fir 25%

Congrats for reaching 4k! It will keep growing, love it that you show of the bets edition, Peak Warhamemr! :D

I miss Duane.. He needs to face the new stuff you have! So chill with guys like him, we need more of them in the community. He puts his effort so nceily into making beautiful stuff.

Gronkh ? is the true Hero of the Game.... The Vendetta of the Zombies was successful ... at last, Turn 5 of Vampire Counts brings the Swing of winning, the Giant is awsome (Miniature and combat Power), at the End two new Units to use, stop the Giant and the Knights to rampart the Rest of the Army (goog Strategy), Interesting Battle, thank you

Why not Charge zhe chariott kn turn 4 and xast hand of dust. U strike first because of charge

Back in time when i played the Opponent rolled if ur iwn army git Hit by something from yourself. Like with the knights and that spell. Stoss woukd roll how many wounds and wiukd do the wound rolls

Duane's punching himself in the face again...

If a wizard refuses a challenge he should not generate power dice and cast spells in the magic phase, right ?

Where are the rules for the chaos Giant from?

If one would get into Warhammer fantasy, wich edition would you recommend? Or wait for old world ?

In turn two of slanesh. Wouldnt the guy flee automatically you are more than him and cause fear right?

Whats the name of that grunk miniature?

Great battle as always. But I am at a complete loss as to why the exalted champion charged those zombies. if you're going to pull that move the one thing you DON'T want to do is declare a challenge then you just smite that nerd straight out of the front rank.

poor chaos.

Very nice game with beatiful armies. Tell me if you are going to Europe. Feel invited to challenge my empire army from Talabecland. Regards from Germany!

Yes Duane!

🙌

Those challenges, why? They make for entertaining content that's for sure, but still... 😂

It's a dog eat dog world...
