Requesting Video Battle Report Recommendations

Hey fellow Archons.

I've recently started watching battle reports to see new strategies and techniques in action in order to improve my own play as I become a more competitive player. However, many of the channels I've come across have players who don't know the armies ("this is my first time playing dark eldar in years" *sigh* next video...) or who's videos are tedious to make it through, or who's play level is... well, not everyone was born to be an Archon.

I've made my way back through most of Skari's battle reports since the codex release (thank you, Skari, they have already helped me improve & see some concepts in action), and I just found Lost Vyper's channel which I will be checking out later.

Does anyone have recommendations for where to go for high-quality battle reports with competitive levels of play? While ones with Dark Eldar & CW players would be best, even watching some quality mon'keigh players might help me out.

He comes on thedarkcuty time to time, but the No Retreat guy Lawrence does some DE on the channel "Tabletop Tactics" look them up on youtube. Tho he gets rules wrong time to time and over hypes some units, he has lots of banter, and they are LONG videos, like 2hrs+ (I personally dont like but i know some like that style and my bias shouldnt have anything to do with options for others).

He should have a lot of videos on DE

Pornhub has a lot of Dark Eldar content, battle report and otherwise.

As already mentioned, Skari is the best and most informative source of DE content. If you can spare the resources, definitely worth becoming one of his Patreon members.

Lawrence from Tabletop Tactics also posts really good (but looooong) DE bat reps from time to time but the majority of them will require a paid membership to watch.

Lost Vyper usually posts links to his here and they’re always very entertaining just for his swearing when something goes wrong

I'm personally a big fan of tabletoptactics.tv as previously mentioned. I much prefer the long form of the reports compared to stuff like Skari's which is more of a turn by turn summary.

I usually watch at 1.5x-2x speed to help mitigate the length of the reports. If you like the level of banter and style, the subscriber cost is totally worth it as the non DE batreps are equally entertaining. They got a Harlequins army recently as well and have a few batreps up for them as well.

I didn't hear about Lost Vyper yet. Will have to check that out.

Thanks for the suggestions.  I had been considering Skari's patreon, and I'll definitely look into TTT.

Withershadow, I truly do believe immersing oneself in the literature and culture of one's chosen faction can help you to fully realize and enjoy that factions potential. That said, however, I feel that, given the generally prudish nature of the mon'keigh population on Terra (and more specifically in Texas), implementing the techniques and tactics one might glean from that website would be highly frowned upon at my FLGSs and would likely lead to lifetime bans & perhaps some jail time. So while the suggestion is appreciated, I'll have to pass on it for tactical advice and limit its use to some later research on *ahem* lore.

EDIT: the grammars
