hey guys I had another go at making an animated battle report using MS Powerpoint. Hope you like it.

Very enjoyable and subscribed

I'm really glad you enjoyed it, I spend a lot of time making these.

What do people think of the tactics used? I usually run a Mech Ork list and my opponent tailored his force in anticipation of this, I think he would have been far better off with Scatter Lasers on his walkers rather than lances.

I also think I should have dropped one unit of Lootas and run a unit of commandos. What do you think?

i enjoyed it,

It's nice seeing some one run a foot army.

I'd stick with the lootas personally, Komamdos are fun but you can't guarnatee they'll turn up when and where you need them. Saying that it if you got them might be worth ago

Was the text easy to read? Some people have complained the words were to small, the boxes faded too quickly and the white text was hard to read over a white background.... what do you guys think?

Yes to the white text over white background. That was horrible to read.
As for the report, the orks did what orks do best (I hate KFF with a vengence)! And the eldar lost themselves that game, while the shooting was unfortunate first time round, sending half their number into assault range that early was just stupid. Teh serpents should have waited until the orks had broken up slightly more before launching into their face...

Nice, a few shots of the actual battlefield and the miniatures would really be cool to spice it up, too if you can manage that.

Awwww yeah! I love your animated batreps

We are going to replay this battle next month, what changes would you advise both forces to make to their army lists?

I really enjoyed this video, thanks for posting it!

Excellent batrep. I really like the whole animated format. It is always amusing to see the most advanced(arguably) race in the galaxy getting stomped by the most primitive....on foot no less! Very well done.
As far as army changes go, perhaps the Eldar player could try some banshees for some assault options. A wraith lord might also be fun.
For da orks, maybe swapping a squad of lootas for a squad of kommandos(with Snikrot, of course) would be fun. This would give your opponents fire base something to worry about.
Anyway, that's my two cents. Definitely looking forward to your future reports.

First things first, loved the battle report. It was well made and gave a clear story to the battle.

Second, can't believe the Eldar player played that poorly. That said, credit has to go to the Ork player for taking advantage of those missteps.

Anyways, subscribed!

How did you get the image for the tanks?

The images of the tanks and terrain are from Vassal 40k.

In my next game my opponent will run an 1850 Mech list with lost of Avengers, I was thinking of running an Dred Bash list cos i like the models and want to get a chance to use them, but I'm pretty sure I'll get out maneuver, what do you think?

A dread bash list sounds like fun, but against mech eldar I just don't think the dreads will be around for all that long, even with the obligatory KFF. After they are gone, you would almost certainly get out maneuvered. On the other hand, against mech eldar, 2x15 lootas...
