Really enjoyed watching it and glad to hear that Lawrence made a change on his director instructions. No “Action” but a “Cut” even if he wasnt allowed (or able) to speak.
Very impressive Mr. Lawrence and person who edited. 😉

Still was big fun to watch this. Guess both of you played well and the start of the Daemons was horrifical strong. A bit sad that Belakor died that fast.
But good job on that kill Chef!

P.S.: really liked to see the Warhipster again!
And some more actions and cuts of course in the end xD

What a cracker of a game. As Warhipster said – this is why you play to the end. That applies to us viewers too – watch to the end!

“Lawrence told me that I have to explain jokes to you” – that is golden!

Hey Chef, have you thought about combining 2 of the 5 man scarab terminators into one unit of 10? That plus 1 to wound is super strong on a fully kitted out unit of scarabs.

that poor Keeper, only wanting to give those ashy sons some hugs. great match, very tense, thanks!

Oh noez warhipster, you forgot that Fiends drop psyker casts by 1 if within 12″. A (surprising) number of those powers wouldn’t have gotten off.

A close game till the end. The TS have shooting, psychic and kind of melee too, and even w/o shooting, the deamons are just awesome. Love those games and I hope deamons will get some love when CSM codex is out.

Nice game and nice guest, once again!
I am looking forward to your take on the changes in points and missions brought by the Chapter Approved… reading the preview on Goonhammer left me quite a bit unsatisfied and in some cases frankly bewildered, and I am curious to hear your thoughts on this.
I am just happy that they confirmed the dataslate for february and that they seem to be committed on their promise to keep up with the adjustments.
