Warhammer 40k Batrep: 1250pts Dark Angels vs Space Wolves

[Mercy 0f Spades]

Howdy B&C!

 

Recently, I began a video batrep (I'm sure most of you looking in this area of the forum must have seen them) that was spread over several thread topics. After a while I decided that this was probably not the best way to post batreps on our forum page. Especially, when work picks up at your job and you can't make the new ones fast enough. So, I've decided to wait until all of my vids were rendered and uploaded before posting anymore. Now that all of the parts of this batrep are complete I am releasing this final compilation of the battle report. That is what you have here!

 

From now on I will be doing all my batreps like this BUT if you are interested in seeing my future battle reports as I create them then just subscribe to my YouTube channel and you'll be notified accordingly. My YouTube channel is here - http://www.youtube.com/user/MercyOfSpades?feature=mhee

 

 

For you folks just now seeing my batreps don't worry about the previous statement too much. What you're after is what comes next! Time for the proper introduction!

 

 

 

 

Howdy Wargamers!

 

This is the Brenham Miniature Wargaming Club's first video Batrep! Today, we have a 1250pt battle between Nathan's Dark Angels and Joe's "Stink'n" Space Wolves! We're playing Annihilation with a Spearhead deployment and the Dark Angels are going first! The honor of our chapters are at stake! WHO WILL WIN? Find out in this grudge match for the ages!

 

Also, please note that we are aware of the problem with the shaky camera and awkward camera angle. This is our first video batrep and we will be refining our recording technique in the weeks to follow. Even as this batrep progresses into the later turns you will see the difference in our quality and presentation of the material. We covet your comments and suggestions for making the best possible battle report! Constructive criticism is always welcome! Also, if you'd like to help the Brenham Miniature Wargaming Club put out more content then please like and subscribe to the videos and channel. Any funds it generates will be turned around and placed right back into getting better equipment for recording and better software for editing vids faster!

 

Without further ado... the BATTLE!!! Comment as to who you think will win!

-note to the mods-

If you guys would be so kind as to help me remove all my previous posts of this batrep I'd appreciate it. I'm going to try and do it myself to clear up confusion but just in case I can't. Thank you for your help. Sorry for the inconvenience!

So let's talk tactics! Because a Batreps have two points. First is to entertain and the second is to educate on what kind of strategies work and which don't... kind of like a "Learn From My Fail".... you know, that would be a nifty title to a post game batrep in which I've lost...

 

 

What was the main reasons for the victor for pulling off the win in this batrep?

 

Do you agree with me that the Dreadnought battle was pivotal?

 

What would have you done differently if you were playing that Space Wolves list?

 

Let's discuss! I'll share your input with the rest of my club members! I'm sure the Space Wolves fellas would love to hear y'all's sage advice!
