subbed. Hope to see you with 20k+ subs. this channel has potential

Here's what I liked:
- The little snippets of wisdom regarding certain situations like the scarabs staying out of 3" or discussing terrain with your opponent to avoid misunderstandings
- Turn summaries explaining how many VP were scored and what for

Here's what I like to see in the future:
- In depth breakdown of the movement phase. This is where competitive players really shine. I'd like to know exactly what unit moved from where to where and why. In this batrep we barely got to reproduce your thoughts on why you did something, only on a few occasions during turn summaries. The bare minimum that would really help players understand your train of thought would be to show each unit seperately and point on the table where it started, then show where it stands at the end of the movement phase and explain why you moved the unit there :)
- The camera work should be focused more on the tabletop. That way we can reproduce what actually happened on the table with you explaining/narrating the turn. Your camera was also a little shaky, but that comes with experience I guess. It got a lot better with Tabletop Tactics videos over time as well :)

Looking forward to more Deathwatch batreps :)

Yo, was sent over by D6evolution, by the Death Watch interview. Always looking to expand my inbox with awesome 40k, glad you popped up :)

Brilliant.Really informative without being snobby.

[josetrevino]

Dude this is a great source! Your videos are great man, please keep it up. The length is great. I prefer a long in depth video and this was perfect. 👌

[TheRamoach]

Loving the channel mate. Liked and subbed. You have a really clean and clear presentation in your vids and you have some great tips + minis. Keep it up!

[journeyintok]

Great video guys really do like the format you have taken with these Battle reports.
Being new to 40K after not playing since 1999 I am learning so much just by watching your videos.
Very inspiring and enjoyable to watch.
Keep up the great work guy.

Really enjoying your content man. I watch way too much 40k content and yours is right up there with my favorites. Really enjoy the insight mid-game and the cut-ins to describe thought processes and mistakes.

One thing to keep in mind with ITC secondaries is its often best to select the ones that you need to do to win the game anyway. An example would be if you're facing double spear / reaper Ynarri, MFD the spears and reapers because if you don't kill them, you lose because they win the game for Ynarri. Likewise if you're playing against an imperial soup list and your army doesn't have a great way to deal with the knight, don't take titan slayer because it goes opposite your plan to win.

This is great for a new and learning player. You explain the application of the rules in simple understandable terms.

[jsowe]

Just subed, outstanding video and thank you for explaining these tactics to a 40k noob like myself

[josephreyalcala]

Hi. I love how you do your battle reports and analysis. And also, thank you for the quick replies about the deathwatch list.

[commandersune]

Superb batrep! I really learned a lot from this. I'm usually way too agressive in my games.

Nice to see a very good Necron player in a batrep.

PS - Found your channel thanks to D6 Evolution.

[qctomh]

would love to see more of the movement, target calls and dice rolls during the game, i feel showing those moments would give you alot of room to give advice or analyse the situation (command point uses, rerolls, tough target calls). It would also give the viewer a better perspective of the game as just seeing the updates at the end of the turn when a bunch of stuff either disapeared or moved doesn't let us keep track of what went where with alot of certitude. Overall awesome content, looking forward to more.

[anthonyh]

Good video, interesting to see the competitive side of the game and your thoughts with the debrief at the end.

[MrShacman]

Great game to watch and good post game analysis, thanks for showing what the units were pre game as again outside of playing DOW on the PC i have no idea about necrons. Been telling people about this channel keep up the good work

[josephsantos]

First time watcher you have really good insightful content keep it up. Also congrats on beating Lawrence. He cagey beast from what I’ve seen of his content and doing it with death watch before chapter approved WOW.

[ianpitkin]

Man I felt for you this game. Great sportsmanship though. Learned alot from this battle report I have not played against Necrons before. Should defiantly do a Rematch! Also really digging the shirts! Can't wait until you start selling some!

[blackstargames]

You sir have earned a sub. Came over from D6 evolution vid.
Love the strategic run down turn to turn keen for more!

[ollykyte]

Hey Guys, love what you are doing! Great approach and insight. Really lifting the lid on 40k. Teaming up with the D6 Evolution guys is also a great to see! If I had one comment it would be to film more of the Bat Rep. if you’re in for an hour to watch a 40k YouTube vid, you’re in for 2 too. Sp IMO It would help to tie in the terrific analysis sections and end of game summaries if we could see what led up to a pivotal moment a little more. Maybe experiment with a feature length episode and see how it goes? Keep up the good work!

[mrblunttube]

Slight suggestion, we like to see important dice rolls. Like from heavys or from massive hand fulls.
