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
A very fun game to watch! Josh is a wonderful guest. Always enjoying to see him on the channel 🙂
Great game gents!
Got to side with Chef on those jokes tho haha! – Dave
What an excellent close battle! Well done to you both for seeing it through and for such a close game.
Just to echo others that this was an excellent game and two players full of humour. A pleasure to watch.
This is game is so much fun!! Great job ! Great guest !
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!
What an enjoyable game, and what a cool guest. Looking forward to seeing Josh return to the channel. Great stuff guys
Two amazing armies, you guys make me laugh so much 😀
Sorry if this has been asked before, but is there any updates on the criteria to be a guest?
Thoroughly enjoyed this batrep, well done Josh and Chef top stuff 👍🏻
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.
I did enjoy the jokes, mr Warhipster, but did I understand them? who knows
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.
“Hitting on twos because of presage!”
Rolls 4×1’s….
🤣
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.
Chef, can’t Ahriman re-roll all PTs and Denies?
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.
Excited to see how this match up goes! Red Pearl dice turned up today looking forward to breaking them in on Wednesday!
Got to love and comment here as well as YouTube.
