Love this style of breakdown. Really helps me understand how armies I don't play work. More like this, please!

This type of report is so good for learning more of the game. Enjoyable too. :) Like someone else said, some takeaways or thoughts to wrap it up is interesting to hear, what were some critical positions and decisions. Sounds like you have a very friendly community, what a fun challenge. Hope people in other places get inspired and do similar things.

Your content is hands down the best AoS content out there, and as a newish player I consume a LOT of content atm. I learned a ton from this video, especially the harder to grasp intricacies of micro decisions. I hope you keep making these. If you ever ship to the EU I will make sure to support you.

Very good and around 20 min to cover an interesting matchup! They are good as they are. Considering my curiosity, I'd enjoy hearing your pre-game strategy and what definitive thoughts of what was in your favor. And considering the Skaven plan in action, is it possible to mention the opponents pivotal moment(s) that he had control over that could have changed the outcome in his favor.

@warpfireminis 9 ай бұрын

I'll definitely try to talk a little bit more about the matchup and pre-game thoughts in the beginning of the next one! For this one specifically I don't know that my opponent made any big mentionable mistakes, it was honestly more along the lines of me making that big charge early, combats going well (outside of Skreech), and then winning priority rolls that kept me out front. If there are any big ones in the next games I'll try to mention them!

@warpfireminis 9 ай бұрын

I'll add the one thing I would've done differently if I were him is just to have the Morghasts screened out a little bit. If those weren't out front where I could get into them then there's a 0% chance I go for that skitterleap play; killing Deathriders or the Liege wouldn't have been a good enough trade to take the risk.

Have you played into Khorne yet? I'm finding their 5+ ignore magic and Hexgorger Skulls/Bleeding Icon so hard to play into.

@warpfireminis 8 ай бұрын

I have! Khorne is always a tough match just due to how many tricks they have up their sleeve, but it usually turns into a dance of who can hit who first. If our Verminlords or PCB's get into a Thirster it's gone, but same way if Skarbrand hits anything we have it's gone. Screens, good positioning, prayers, and our own buff spells win the day; they have a tough time if we get Death Frenzies off.

Hi, I'm new here, how do you get more than 3 leaders in skaven? The App tells me it's an invalid list with 4 or more.

@ashcoleman7334 9 ай бұрын

How does this list do against Morathi and the bow snakes?

@warpfireminis 9 ай бұрын

Took them down at LVO in the beginning of the year with a similar list, but it's not an easy matchup. The shooting is the real problem, so you just have to play pretty aggressive and get in fast to drop them; luckily they're very frail (outside of Morathi) so once we get in they're all dead.

@ashcoleman7334 9 ай бұрын

Thanks @@warpfireminis yeah I find them a real problem. I've got them in a league semi final in a few weeks. Great content by the way, looking forward to seeing more.
