The stream cuts part way through because my power went out. But we came back and did a part 2 here - kzhead.info/sun/n52vqsaaooBvlIU/bejne.html
Between Tom not being able to make it and the power going out, "what a terrible night to have a curse"
Like for Tom's engagement.
Like for Tyler actually hobbying 😂🎉
The Vexed Village. The Haunted Hamlet. The Troubled Township. The Morbid Municipality. The Skeletal Settlement. The Zombie Zone. The Baned Borough. The Mystic Metropolis. The Dead District. The Scourged Suburb. The Plagued Parish. The Calamitous Capital. I'm talking about that Cursed City yo.
I love all of this.
Great show, love seeing Tyler with a paint brush and models all about.
Combat Patrol is the coolest thing I've heard about 10th edition so far, love the idea of buying two boxes and just playing. From what I've read it is not simplified rules, it's the full 10th edition 40k ruleset but you use different battlescrolls so they can balance units out. Curious to see if these battlescrolls will drastically change unit abilities or if they're just number tweaks. Anyway, it has me hopeful that the Vanguard boxes are prep for a similar mode in AoS. Seems like a much more palatable onboarding for people who are on the fence about trying the game out.
I really like amulet of screams as a second artifact on mounted wight king with a gang of black knights as a recurrable mortal wound missile at the enemy back line
Congrats Tom
Fest probably going to be the nerrative booky thing for sure. Great show guys! Thanks
I like the idea of one of you guys going into the book review without having looked at it! Makes for interesting conversations.
The Vyrkos pack alpha lets you go over the limit of units that CAN have multiple units or do have multiple units. Korsagi and corpse cart are SINGLE meaning they can never have more models in the unit. So ya sure FAQ it, but realistically they can't ever be reinforced to start, so they have a double rule limitation. They're like hybrid hero/infantry
Except allegiance abilities/warscroll rules trump the core rules, that is also in the core rules. So it needs the FAQ to shut it off. Now when they don't mention it (i.e. they say you can put something in reserve, but don't mention when you have to drop it by), that is then appealed to the core rules.
@@VinceVenturella ya I think they'll faq it, but I still stand by the fact that single models can't have more models added into the unit. So even though the most recent rule takes precedent, I don't think it directly interacts with units that can never have models added to the unit. That's just the way I see it.
I played Vyrkos yesterday against Slaves to Darkness Cabalist, took 3 artefacts and Terminus Clock was good. Quite interesting for fun games.
56:00 I feel your pain there’s way too many armies that can ignore wards my maggotkin haven’t hit the table in months. Also Amulet of Screams seems amazing against new seraphon with the amount of casts slaan and kroak get
this really helped thx
Congrats to Tom.
Can we all appreciate while it last how hilarious having the d3 plus to cast or d3 neg. to enemy cast with riding dirty corpse cart meme in Vyrkos
Just to make sure, if I play OBR and give -1 to hit (with Katakros, the spell or the Nexus) onto say a Legion of Blood VLoZD with Doomed Minions artefact, he will still hit on 2s on the selected units? As for the vampire leech ability (Arkhan has basically the same thing), the healing is applied immediately after the attacks I think (so taking VLoZD as an example again, if he had lost 6 wounds and is fighting one of my units, if he attacks first, deals 6 wounds, he heals back to full before I get to fight back)?
1) Yes 2) Yes
You mentioned that it was important to note, that you have to pick the summonable unit before you roll the dice to try and return them. I just wonder why it matters? It felt like Tyler was about to ask. 😁
Because the hero is more powerful for it's optionality in creates in later turns. If I was able to roll first and see if I could succeed, I have to bank on the hero. THe timing would change your choice.
Delayed comment but Congratulations to Tom and his partner!
GJ TOM!
Congrats to Tom!
I really like this book. I think you're out of your mind that you think it's better than OBR, but otherwise I agree with a lot of your points. This is one of my favorite armies to play (just slightly behind my goats, which have been felling a touch abusive in my local meta). What I really like about this army is that it has a high skill floor to get good games out of, and I'm the type of player that likes to try and solve the puzzle of my army. I also love that it feels like a flavor win, especially with zombies now actually feeling like zombies instead of this lightning fast elite unit that slammed into people like an ugly ludo narrative violating canker sore. It feels like spook strong vampire killers and there expendable, mindless meat throng which is all I ever want out of this army.
Fantastic video, as always. Thanks for the great content. Does anyone know if there is anyway to buff the charge on grave guard in anyway?
DO you mean add to their Charge roll? There is not. You could always have them in the grave and pop them up.
@Vince Venturella ah, thanks, that's what I feared, still great glass hammers. Very fair book 📖 👏 great review
Since you mentioned the Khorne book, is it possible to make an army without demons that is decent? I like the marauding barbarians theme. I'm not asking for a 5-0 but I would like to have a fighting chance if I play well. SO all mortals, yay or nay?
Absolutely! The all mortals army is totally do-able and quite strong.
Like for the Cake reference
So, I've got a question for you Vince. You were wondering about the ability "Unstoppable Nightmare" for Avengorii and what its application might be. I think the best way to use it would be by Corner Charging a unit with a Monster, and at the same time charging the front of the same unit with a throwaway Summonable unit like Zombies(or 6" Cheater Piling-In with Dire Wolves for the *real* consistency). You make sure the unit encompasses as much of the front of the unit as possible to prevent a majority of that units models from piling in towards your Monster, use Unstoppable Nightmare, and when combat happens, the opponent will have to put as many of their attacks into your Summonable as they can, which means that you'll be able to fight twice with your Monster *and* deny Pile-In off a corner charge at the same time. I'll readily admit that this is *pure* Theory-hammer, I haven't played with or even against New Soulblight at all. But I think that combo gives Unstoppable Nightmare more power and play than it might have initially seemed at first brush.(in theory) TLDR: To me Unstoppable Nightmare seems like a combo-charge ability. One that can do some heavy lifting if you have good positioning.
Yes, that works, but boy, what a corner case. :)
Great show! I may have missed it, but thoughts on the Askurgan Trueblades?
I like them, I think they have some real play. :)
@@VinceVenturella Nice, I'm painting a unit at the moment. by the way, I'd love to do a paint jam with you and Tyler! 😀
2:20:13 It is in the core rukes that ward saves cannot be stacked, anything that would reallocate a wd or similar counts as a wards save and cannot be rerolled.
I am aware of that, but there is a loophole with wounds that are transferred to another unit that has a ward.
Wait, didn't SBG already have a 3rd edition battletome?
Was the tail end of 2.0
@@Chalky62 Oh yeah you're right.
Rewatching this while I work on my SBGL. What hero is a skeleton pointing 👉 lol?
The underworlds warband. Velmorn
@VinceVenturella OH wow those are awesome! Somehow missed them when they came out. They need to make new grave guard kit in their likeness!
Will you be covering The Old World when it comes out, or just AOS? Love the shows. Long time fan. Cheers 🍻
Oh, we'll talk Old World as well. :)
Do you think 4th Ed AoS will get heroes embedded into units like 10th Ed 40k?
I don't, we don't have the shooting problem like they do.
Once again, GW tries to discourage me from singing ‘The Vengo bus is coming’
I would be fine with a (sub)faction having the ability to give artifacts and command traits to unique heroes. But I hate how it is done here by just adding a little modifier in the artifact and command trait sections. Feels like a tacked-on, half-hidden thing through the backdoor. If it was a real, spelled-out allegiance ability, I would be more ok with it. I do think the Blood-born are cool. Definitely not a must have, but they offer a good ability and have the appropriate cost for a chaffy unit. While being more killy than most other chaff units at the same cost.
I love Tom
Eh brown rims?, come on Tyler. You can have them any color as long as there black!
I just watched a french review of the book with a player from the belgian team at worlds. They think the blood knights are really good. So there is a chance you guys missread them and Scott's dream is still alive :P They agree the zombies are broken tho ^_^
👍👍
25.6.1
Why is 10 wounds the worst number of wounds on a monster?
On a Hero or Monster, basically because so many rules in the game trigger on 9W or less (cover, look out sir, and so on)
@@VinceVenturella Ah, thanks for the answer, AoS noob here.
Stream died?
Seems to be… man just as hes getting to the unit warscrolls
We picked up with the part 2, link in the pinned comment.
The stream died then was resurrected at the grave site in part 2. Very on brand for SBGL
Just to check does Toms fiance have to marry whoever sells the most t shirts out of tom and tyler or was that something else??. Congrats though man
One of my favourite things about this army: No faction terrain or Endless Spells. It makes me so happy to not have to buy stuff like that, haha.
