Dark Angels vs World Eaters | Warhammer 40,000 Battle Report
It’s a Primarch showdown!! The Lion has finally risen to guide Bard against the heretic Chef, but will he be able to stand toe-to-toe with the Daemon Primarch of the World Eaters?

If you’ve scrolled this far to comment “BuT DeaTHWinG Don’T hAVe TRanSHuMAn AnYMore!1!”
We know.
We filmed and edited this last week.
Before the Dataslate was even released.
We can’t see the future (well, at least).
We can’t film and edit a game in a single day, especially since we’re moving our entire Studio (so many boxes)
We even acknowledged that fact in the video description as well, which you scrolled past.
Thanks for letting us know though 😅
We need to see a rematch of this
Blimey Fletcher, them primarchs. And a game that did them justice
What an EPIC GAME. THANK YOU ! btw. those Paintings from Flechter are not of this World!!!!
It’s great seeing people playing and just having fun….watching you guys play is how I wish my gaming group played. A greater focus on fun and story telling a little less on outright blitzing each game.
who is he and what has he done with the bard? There were noowhere near enough 1s rolled in this game lmao
Super fun Batrep! I really love the classic matchups. But there were two things that would have pushed things to the absolute limit!
1) The turn the Lion arrived, Bard you had to say “Guards! Knights! Squires! Prepare for battle! and que “O Fortuna”
2) After the Lion arrived, as many Tywin Lannister quotes as possible!
I have to go watch Excalibur now, for the 20th time…
Pretty interesting seeing Azrael finish off Kharn, given that when they met in the fluff in the audiobook “The Trials of Azrael”, Kharn soundly beat the Chapter Master of the Dark Angels and forced him to sneak away from the fight.
Lots of old grudges in this match.
Absolutely enjoyable game fellas, cinematic as always. Each turn was just clap back and forth hahahaha love it ❤️
This game was dooooooooope.
Bard and Chef, what a fantastic game! That was a lot of fun!
Fletcher, you do such wonderful work, I can’t wait to see what else you’re working on!
Jinx, you’re a riot! 😂
The Lion looks like Charles Dance, in the Golden child he played a demon in disguise as well!🤔😆
The poor tree never had a chance 🙁
Good to see the Bard cashed in on his good luck rolls. Two games in a row that have been rather good !
Do you guys know, in a normal game if you take assassination as a secondary, do you get points every time you kill Angron, if he comes back, or only the once?
I can’t stop hearing the Exalted Egg-Bound.
How do you guys think the game would have faired if this was filmed post balance data slate?
Wow!! Just wow!! What a game and what a last game in the studio. Hats off to you all for making such fantastic content a real joy to watch.
The Bard had some of his best rolling ever in this game. This was a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for putting it together.
Fun report guys! Feel liked peak 9th with so much OP stuff all over the place. 10th can’t come quick enough where I hope it gets less killy by a large degree.
The Faceman does it again. The Lion looks even more like Charles Dance then other versions do.
This one was special 🙏
the return of Dave’s epic chainmail! love it
This was the most epic batrep ever dudes!!! 🤘🤘🤘 also just holy heck Fletcher 👌👌👌
What a game!! Nail biter right through
Chef, there’s one box of exalted Eightbound on Ebay for 55 American dollars. all the others are way over costed ;/
SUCH AN EPIC GAME!!!!
great game!!! love the show down.. what a boss that lion!! Amazing paint job Fletcher.. respect 🙂
@Stig oh look! Here is where those Dark Talons ended up!
Loved this one! Sadly, I’ve had the same experience with Kharn, I want so much for him to be better than a CSM cultist, but sadly, they at least hold objectives and screen out backlines, where as he can’t even deal a single wound to a Terminator most of the time. So surprised to see so many berzerkers, thank you for doing the list that way, I don’t know for sure whether you would agree that maybe it was too many, but watching this I really did get the feeling of like, sure there’s a lot, but at 1dmg each,… Read more »
Fletcher’s paint jobs are just so freaking gorgeous!!!
Can someone explain how a chaplain is wounding Angron on 2s. Not saying it’s wrong just don’t know how.
Cheers
Blood for the Blood God, Skulls for the Skull Throne!
Yay, I get a rare opportunity to root for Chef.
Absolute joy to watch! Fletcher has done an amazing job painting the Lion and Angron. Always enjoy your content. Hopefully the brothers will meet again in 10th Edition for another epic showdown 🙂
Great BR guys well done!
What an epic game, I really loved this one, everyone was happy 😊 and I am happy.
Seeing the lion fighting Angron was the fight we were waiting for, and what an amazing paint job 👏
PASTRIES FOR THE PASTRY CHEF!! Mmmmmmmm, pastries 🤤
Peak silliness guys! Much love!
I stead of chaos terminators have you got wrath mongers or skull reapers for aos? They make amazing eight bound
The narrative bunny in me screams yes! this is the battle that should be available for a Saturday excellent choice. Kill maim burn for the win I hope!
After a failed attempt to get the limited edition Lion novel today I really needed something to cheer me up.
To answer your question – yes, you peaked with this one. Battlefield was thematic, armies looking great and Fletcher’s primarchs are my 2 favorite versions of them painted I’ve seen so far (he even did the Watcher carrying the helmet I wanted to do).
Thanks guys! Perfect send off for the studio.
Awesome battle report! And that Lion is amazingly painted. Greta work Fletcher.
Kharn slaying the terrain when no models are near by needs to be house rule from now on.
FOR THE LION! That was a banger! That Chaplain is an absolute chad. We’ve also discovered Chef’s latest gripe: models surviving on 1 Wound.
What can I say fletcher you’ve done it again. Fair play on what you have done with the lion
Daddy Lion comes back and cures the curse on James’ dice! This was all he needed it seems!
I never played Dark Angels, but I like the Lion model so much that I preordered him anyway.
And what an incredible, stunning, amazing job did Fletcher on him!
I will give my all in painting him even though I will not be able to come close to Fletcher’s work, I am really looking forward tohave him on my desk.
BRAVO @Fletcher for the magnificent painting job on Papa Johnson 👏 !
Intelligence is knowing tomatoes are a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting them in a fruit salad.
Fletcher – your Lion is absolutely incredible. Please please please do a tutorial on how you do faces?
Are Terminator lists still valid for dark angels? Or are they not worth it anymore?
Some say he was found wandering in a forest as a child having been raised by squirrels.
Some say he’s followed around everywhere by midgets in robes. It may just be Katie though. Or Jawas.
Some even say he’s spent the last 10,000 years asleep under a rock.
All we know is… He’s called the Bard.
