Looking for Battle Reports

Recommended Posts

Hi all, i'm looking for 3 things regarding battle reports.

1. Many Battle Reports are about the same thing. 2000 points matched play and 1 to 2 hour long videos that are very boring to watch in most cases. I dont want to waste my time and watch someone perform every step of the game or look up rules. I could play the game myself in that time frame XD. I would like a sports channel style summary or commentary of a game. The only channel i know of that does a decent job at this is Play on Tabletop. They do a 40 min report on 40k and it looks great (check it out). Does anyone know a similar channel for AoS?

2. Where can i find something that is not about matched play? Something about narrative play, open play or campaigns would be awesome.

3. Anything about 1000 point battles would be awesome. Its the thing i play the most because it takes less time and space (luxuries i dont have a lot of). I am kind of surprised by the lack of 1k content to be honest (also for 40k).

If anyone has some channels/blogs/vlogs i could check out while commuting to and from work would be great!

I tend to watch the following ones. They are mostly around matched play but there is a nice mix of how people approach their games :

1) Season Of War - https://youtube.com/c/SeasonofWar

Great channel with to the point battle reports and a nice mix of armies. Competitive focused but they don’t always use the top lists and try and find new things to use.

2) ReRolling Ones - https://youtube.com/c/RerollingOnes

Another great channel which leans more to narrative play. Also has some great intros!

3) Wargamer Online - https://youtube.com/c/WargamerOnline

Sits in the middle between narrative and matched play (in my eyes). Nice armies and games are fun to watch.

4) Log Cabin Gaming - https://youtube.com/channel/UC3KFOcLIUQ07AXdpLNpV2LQ

More narrative but nice watch

Hope that helps

Would definitely recommend as well. I also like that the batreps are not usually longer than an hour. I like the overhead view with voiceover/banner text to describe what's happening.

Also, worth checking out SEWargaming. Some of their videos are longer, but they've done some path to glory campaigns which are under an hour. I enjoy the banter on these as well.

Season of War have the format down and their reports are really clearly presented, even if I'd prefer fluffier lists from time to time. The dream for me is the video equivalent of the early-mid-2000s White Dwarf battle reports, though maybe nostalgia is playing a not insignificant part there.
