Yay league is back! Was so confused, as this first one has been filed under the normal battle reports and not league reports! Cheers all for your brilliant work 🙂

Another master class on movement, positioning and target priority by Spider. Excellent game. Mike, great to see you challenging the Spider, I hope you can up your game next time you face him! I felt those terminators were really out of position and that hurt your late game. Two 1’s on advance rolls are bad, maybe a reroll was a good idea there. I’m looking forward to the rest of the league, great to see it has returned.

What a game!!! The perfect mix of your usual fun and banter with so much tactical insight and things to pick up.

As you edit these please keep as much of your out loud thinking as possible. Appreciating you probabiy can’t do 2 hour long videos, but just know we would all watch them just the same!

Great game. Not to discredit Spider of his victory, he played fantastically, but Mike’s saves really betrayed him in the early mid-game. Those Bladeguard just folded immediately.

Great to see the league return! Mike dealt with some abysmal dice showing class and good humour. A very close game and excited to see the rest of the matches. Both Katie and Joe are taking powerful factions, so there is still all to play for.

Loved this game, great pairing and super intense! Mike my heart went out to you with your rolls and with the “what is happening” moment – we’ve all been there but, brutal!

Not usually one for a competitive game but this was a cracker. Still don’t like the lethality of 10th etc but for what it is this was fun to see competitive players work through the strategy.

Re Vulcan/Stan he is a defensive beast but seen him wiff on tough targets a few times now. Can he team up with any heavier combat hitters?

Great game, and what a rollout for Mike! I love how much more big brained/tactical it becomes with the Leagues – masterclass in properly understanding your lists, trading up, sacrifice, CP usage, and when to pull strats out. As much as I love fluffy play and lists, you can’t beat some technical play (in my book anyway – I know it’s not for everyone)

Wow…..

I’m curious if Bard now becomes lucky because that game felt like the curse had finally been passed to another!

Kudos to Mike taking that like a Champ, clapping back and providing such a close match. Great game, great chemistry and a great display of how to play competitively. Fighting hard on the Tatami mat doesn’t mean without class 💪

Great game. So intense!

Damage 4 is brutal. And that sticky objective strategy won Spider the game.

Meta Mike got to see the Luck Vortex up close 😅.

Love the more competitive games and the list analysis, but would love perhaps a overlay at the start to see what are the ruins are counting as and what you guys are counting as the templates (like Is mentioned about the trees) . I appreciate that you guys are trying to make things look beautiful and present a tv show but if you are making an effort to “to play more competitive” then you might as well either use actual terrain templates, or have an over view at the start other wise it makes it hard to understand the game… Read more »

Super excited for the league series!

Also I blame Bard and Jinx because every time Vulkan was mentioned, I immediately thought “He not Vulkan, he Stan” 🤣

Phenomenal battle report and so much fun as well as the tactics. Great way to start the league! Thanks for the great show! 😃

Hands down best (most competitive game) I have seen on the channel in a while. And although I appreciate the light hearted nature of a lot of games as it’s refreshing… I am a ‘competitive player’ at heart. So was great to see!

Also cherry on top with the behind the scenes at the end, classic TT. Reason I have been subscribed for years!

What a great start to the league. Very happy it’s back and loved the in depth list reviews to understand the thought process behind them.
Well played Spider, I tipped Mike before hand but it was a well deserved and sporting victory

Wow what a battle to kick off the new league season! So many big brain tactical plays, really enjoyable to watch and learn from two excellent players. And Katie is playing Chaos Knights as well, very interesting!

FANTASTIC game/opening salvo of the new league! Incredibly fun to watch throughout!

Also, this… this is why I will never let myself answer the siren song of flamer-based lists lol.

This battle report has led to my son changing his salamanders list and as such his birthday list, its his birthday on Wednesday, so thankfully my lack of organisational skills meant I still needed to go buy him bits. But his mother is not best pleased.

Which makes me chuckle. Thanks for that guys.

But I’m not sure my Iron Warriors will stand a chance. Time to hit the drawing board.

Great to see the studio league back on the menu! Always love both the batreps themselves as well as the list-videos where you go into detail about your thoughts behind the list. It’s great fun to see you evolve and refine your lists.

Good first battle from Mike on the channel, although something of a baptism of fire to go up against Lawrence right away, heh.
