Hey Rob, just wanted to let you know I love and appreciate your work.

It's truly what has pulled me into Warhammer and got me excited for AOS, I'm one unit away from finishing painting my first two spearhead forces, have enjoyed my games thus far and am keen to ramp up to full scale and eventually head to events.
Your passion, approach and personality has been delightful, and frankly the dedication to supporting the game and its player base is unrivaled.

Cheers from an Aussie halfway accross the globe :)

I play FEC. I mean, I PLAYED FEC.. The Noble Deeds were a cool concept but it doesnt work when all our heroes just die before using our powers. They castrated our recursion by tying it to NDP. Ushoran is an auto include even in casual games. It sucks man. Thanks for all you do

Rob’s passion won me over from 40k! Joined a FLG AOS league and loving the community! love your videos, keep them coming! 💪🏻🔥

Player Skill Level = "Dribbler" This made me laugh so hard! I'm new to AOS / Wargaming with 4th Ed and definitely have a wet chin 😅

I feel like with Nighthaunt I have to take my 2nd edition battle tome with me to let opponents know that I have played them through thick and thin. Mostly thin.
I just have a feeling the first “balance update” will just tickle them

[TB-pswc]

The KO need a big point drop, they have good rules they just need a drop in points across the board 10-20%. The ironclad alone can go down 100 points!

I am 8 -1 with my DoK right now, will be going to a GT next month, see how they do

[scottbarber]

I’ve enjoyed this video and I am letting you know. :)

[cloraformsgood]

Your right about hobby difficulty as my painted armies are fec, nurgle and unpainted 7k Slaanesh.
My next army to paint is soulblight using Kirioths army as inspiration.

[yves-sketchpleb]

watching this just after my FEC army got wiped by my friend's Nighthaunt army haha 😭

Thanks for your awesome content Rob!

[jasonmclaughlin]

Insightful as always. Speaking of NH keeping other armies down, I've seen multiple Ironjawz matches where they get tabled end of round 1 - wonder what other extremely hard counters are out there

[thomasparker]

Have to believe that incoming nerfs to manifestations will hit LRL and Tzeentch win rates a bit - both those armies are better than most at getting them out there

[jujubeans]

I don't play Sigmar or 40k, but collect and kitbash miniatures all over the hobby. That said, I also teach game design. I adore this breakdown of data and also the CONTEXT for the data. So often I have people just throw data around without context and your framing in this video is a breath of fresh air.

[alias-yvro]

Slaves to Darkness more popular to play than stormcast, love to see it.

[gnol]

I think in a meta where you have a 65% Winrate army 55% is a problem too

[nathanwoodhall]

Fixes for NH:
Dreadblades can only teleport in the NH players movement phase.
Death Stalkers only allows a single unit to run & charge, however all units can still retreat and charge.
Points increases on Hexwraiths and Dreadblades and maybe even Reikenor.
(Also change the Procession of Death bubbles to 12" to make it a serious competitor to Death Stalkers!)

[pdthepowerdragon]

As a Tzeentch player I’m really not sure how we’re going to be hit. Because I do think it’s more than just morbid conjuration that’s keeping us up. Tzaangor Shamans and pink horrors in particular I think could use a points increase.

[JackCawood]

I'm really curious what approach GW will take to address Nighthaunt. Do they remove the run and charge from the subfaction and leave them with just retreat and charge? Do they make the harrows teleport a 3+ roll to teleport? Is it just a points problem with them having too many bodies on the board?

[piotrjeske]

Unless gw brings back sacrosanct in 5th or 6th, l ain't going back. Won't spend another 5 years saving up, to see raptors, palladors etc be removed in 5th or 6th. sce right now feel bad. Almost Everything is overcosted, units have odd unit size, heroes that should be examplars are not, everyone has wards but not SCE, slow units make a ton of infantry meh. The new stuff should be good and fun to play, but it isn't.

[schala]

As a Sylvaneth player everything hurts right now 😭
