I just hope 2.0 works out. Going to a big tourney in Denmark next year October and would love to play a game that gets me excited

Yeah, the worse thing was that all the regular BatRepers left to go play 9th age because they wanted fresh content. I hated it when Oncebitten, Milorian, etc. stopped making 8th edition videos. Sad. There used to be so much good content out there!

In what army can you take the nightbringer? Is it fanmade rules or official? A model that I think looks amazeballs is the Incarnate Elemental of Fire. One day when I think my painting skills are good enough I will buy it as a center piece of an army. Fanmade (me) rules. Nightbringer is an option for evil armies although mostly is used with Vampire Counts for thematic reasons. Nightbringer in total has featured in probably around 20 of our 8th edition battles. |

The tactician in me liked furion’s batreps but he is not a good choice to listen to if you are a more “beer and pretzels” player.
I find it so difficult to find someone who makes a good batrep because I am full of shit and so many get too many rules wrong. Malorian and OB are both excellent but I can only watch a bit of their batreps until I get irritated and skip big parts. They just ramble on so much.
I have been watching some of chihammer’s stuff and I think he is more my cup of tea. Sometimes he rambles but he does less so and he posts some UB batreps every now and then and they are awesome as it’s more like a rolling stream and you can hear not only his reasoning but also his opponents’.

Yeah, I used to watch Chillhammer's channel a LOT before he switched to playing 9th. It's just too much for me to learn all their rule changes and new names. I used to comment and talk with him a lot though. Really nice guy!
Mitterim was another good one. I liked the stories he wrote and narrated at the beginning of his videos. Set the stage well. He was a long hold-out before switching over to 9th, but I think he felt a lot of pressure from other BatRepers, like OnceBitten. I really like all these guys, it's just too much for me to learn a new set of rules and watch a game that I really don't think developed with the original intent.
I will say, Mc1gamer is a total jerk. Avoid his channel at all costs. I've never had someone so blatantly cuss me out in a way that would make an internet troll blush, before this guy. And only for stating my stance on AoS. He relentlessly hounded me on every channel I visited and commented on. This guy is the ultimate Troll. I stopped commenting on BatReps because of that guy (and you guys know how I like to talk here!) My advice: stay away from him.

His name rings a bell but can't say I watch his channel now, if I ever did before. Thanks for the advice though, unfortunately it seems our hobby has a way of bringing all the slime balls out of their hiding places.
The only other personalities I have seen that can compete with some of wargamings' "finest" are Australian rugby players, but I digress.
