today actually ash with gorilla miniatures. Yeah and got a got a good sense of it But yeah, a lot of what you guys saying was how I was thinking. Yeah, where because he's expensive He's tanky your opponent may have to put more into him than they would like And it's you know, it's kind of like a shooting unit where you place A shooting unit not on an objective, you know somewhere with long range that your opponent doesn't want to have to spend resources To go into killing that unit because and then that takes them away from objectives I could kind of see him potentially a piece like that He's he's on a flank they're having to put more into than they would like which then has these cascading consequences in the game That helps you, you know, get a better hopefully a better leg up in terms of objective scoring, etc The flank is the flank is the right place for him He can't compete for central objectives with other big monsters because he really does rely on his healing In order to stay alive. So flanks are the perfect place for him and his kit fits into it perfectly He can use commands anywhere Right, there's no there's no range restriction on that unlike the imperitence which has to be within a certain range Bastion is is killing one side of the table wiping out all those, you know Cavalry units that are trying to contest on flanks He's just mopping them up fully healing himself blasting stuff with meteors and issuing commands all at the same time Yeah, I agree. All right. Can I move on now? Tyler? Yes All right It's not happening. Okay, so Stand out the rest. This is just a quick discussion. So sub factions my answer is Anything except anvils of the helden hammer Could have play like you could construct a list around it There are standouts Disagreement there is that like any of them could be used The only bad ones are anvils and warbringers and warbringers isn't even that bad. It's just not good Right, but that's exactly how I would have phrased it Exactly Like yes, Paul did you just say warbringers is not that good? It's not it's just disappointing I wish there was a battle line option to go with it because most of the storm hosts are good because they either have Gardis in them or because they have a really good battle line choice, right? Yeah, that's just it between either that ability or what they're bringing in is battle line They all have some kind of play anvils is the one that's just like a total Miss which is not surprising. It's the standard curse of if you were too good in the last thing You will be crappy in this because that every time every time Play this game for 23 years. They over correct every time It is the constant in my life So never be too good in one book because the next book you're guaranteed to suck So, I mean just look at storm drakes. They were too good and they weren't even out yet That's exactly The uh, I had an anvil's list that I tracked all my tournament games for for a period of time And I went 43 and 2 with an anvil's list And now it's the worst list in the game sure There you go uh artifacts drake scale armor mirror shield and luckstone are kind of my three picks I mean, obviously you're going to go to universals a lot But those are three that have some kind of interesting stuff about them. I find the other six uninteresting Anything else on that list that you would do you would add? Agreed our offensive artifacts are garbage. Uh, and luckstone is a nice I mean the ones per game artifacts. I think of all those luckstone is definitely The nicest one our defensive artifacts are actually pretty good mirror shield is obviously the best one in this list Like being the only thing that denies luminous sentinels is just Amazing, right, right? Yeah We lean heavily on the universal artifacts in our army and if they ever change those it's it's going to be It could be really bad for us. Sure on the bright side. There are other armies in the same place. So, no Um, they should they should change the universal artifacts and make turn them into a list of like eight that are all Relatively interesting with different capabilities and put in one that makes you a priest just like the arcane tome There should be like the holy scripture that makes you a pre-generic priest. Yeah, like a rosary Sure. There you go. Yes, sacred rosary. I'll accept that the reliquary, right? We got 50 names. Whatever pick one The toralon also giving blessed weapons would would be the best thing ever. Yeah, yes It'd be amazing uh The Which is exactly who I want to turn into a priest. Yes Like I want to make that guy a priest so bad Uh, okay Uh, the command traits we already mentioned. They're all disappointing even Master Celestial Menagerie. It's it's okay They're all like at best Okay, like a four out of 10 that would be the highest I pretty much rank any of them You're just going to use the generic command traits like yep. They're super niche. They're not worth it Right. It's the biggest miss in this whole set Spells, um, lots of good spells not so many great casters, but I think you know Celestial Blades obviously stands out, but I think as as right Esri As I forgot my tea there as right. Hello. Yes As right. Halo Celestial Blades Thunder Shock and Starfall all at least serve, you know So my interesting spells you could you could choose Celestial Blades is the standout I will say I'm a lot less fond of as right. Halo this edition And that's because mystic shield just became so amazing this edition Sure It used to be the go-to spell for me in second edition because mystic shield is just a real one to say Which nobody cared about But this edition I'd rather just have a plus one to try to fish for sixes. Sure No, that's fair The the FAQ has made uh So many little changes to how we value command traits that I'm actually taking Blessing, I'm taking master of magic the universal trait to reroll spells alongside thunder shock on a lot of units within arcane tome Like just stacking all of these things together because thunder shock is a good effect The fact that you have to cast it and then do a three up sucks But what else are you going to take like none of the other command traits are any good? So right Right. So why not right? Yeah, exactly. Sometimes they have minus one to wound cool and and you know, I mean I've said it before on the shelf say it again Uh minus one to wound is one of the stronger debuffs you can throw around right because there's just There's no set way to counter that out and its mathematical effect is quite strong Uh on what it ends up doing to enemy attacks okay Prayers means translocation of less weapons. It's not bad two out of three ain't bad Anybody They're all good. I think they're all good. All right. Yeah fair enough. Yeah, I don't know a time when I take all three That was my challenge in making this I got a little bit of faith was a thing. I might Right. Yeah two relic gates. Yeah, two relicters one enhancement make it work Yeah, I guess I guess I'm not sure I wouldn't just take translocation and bless weapons on both of them Yeah, I mean like like seriously because then I can teleport from both or bless from both, right? And I'm like, I don't know which one I'm gonna want to do this from in any given round And those don't do I actually want so But yeah fair. I there's no bad prayers. I think that's a fair way to say it. Yep Because they removed them all from the book. Yeah, we still have so many bad prayers. Yes I on the celestial war bringers the sub action. I did try I've only tried it out one game, but I was intrigued by how good the reroll save hit and wound per phase and every turn felt just in terms of the cumulative value that I felt I was getting From that game. So I'm intrigued to try it out more Yeah I average it out to about two extra damage in the shooting phase two extra damage in the combat phase And and that's assuming the reroll works, right? There's value you can't really calculate from it, which is rerolling saves you that is only as good as the hero You're trying to save if you have a star drake. It's really good. If you have carazide. It's pretty good But also it depends on how much your enemy is putting into you It's really hard to judge it if you look at it as the only sub faction that boosts shooting in any particular way Then it's not bad Yeah, that's what I was noticing paul. Usually using it just long strikes prime You know heroes and shooting was what I was finding I was using on the most and it just added up where it meant I protect or didn't die it meant an extra long strike hit got through or or wound got through You know things like that and I just yeah I was surprised at how good it felt over a full game When you've got a unit of six guys making 12 shots off and on twos and twos Right every one that connects matters right And so re not to mention the fact that you could roll into a six But just like having that ability to pick one of your ones up which you're going to average to and turn it into a hit It's you know, it's pretty direct math and it's value Right, which is what you were saying paul right like it's in that regard. It's pretty easy to calculate Yeah, the save to me is just like it's the bonus right you're going to use it when you need it for that purpose Mount traits I think all the mount traits are at least somewhat interesting in certain cases. There's some there's some interesting stuff on that list Like they all have some kind of play. There are clearly standouts in the mount traits Um, but I think they all have some value between run in charge or a six inch violin or so on and so forth I wish it was run in charge. That would be great It's retreat in charge. Oh, you're right. Sorry. Thank you. Thank you Yes None of the mount traits are particularly good Especially because they're all locked behind keywords for some reason like what would it really be that powerful if a nitrocanus had a six inch Pylon or if a toralon could do the battle shock immunity thing. Yes, I don't know I want to strike six inch pylon from the game. So so yes on that way. It's a really the other one Yeah, it is a probability the draconith one where you on a you give up your rampage Then you roll a three up and then the unit can't benefit from inspiring presence That's not worth a mount trait in any army as far as I can tell it's really bad And it only works on the nitrocanus only one hero in the book can take it and it's super niche I well I hard disagree with that because I hate inspiring presence so much and yes I agree with you that it sucks. It can only be on that dude, but that dude is really good And like anything that shuts off battle shock immunity. I'm here for in a big way now If I was playing another army, I'd agree but stormcast just wipes stuff out when we attack so battle shock's not really our concern Fair point. I suppose Uh, I mean I think of like I don't know man. I think about like Now agreed part of this might be more Meta dependent and as we've talked about many times you don't see a lot of big units, right? Yeah But I think about like the nights the empty throne list I played at mash con that had this huge block of 20 chaos warriors That was getting buffed and stuff like that right now There's no even even these stormcast units that hit so hard wouldn't have picked that thing up in a round It's 40 wounds on a ridiculous save Right Have you seen grandhammers yet? I I understand. I know the math Yeah, but chaos just has a lot of safe stacking in built into their book I know what he's talking about that unit would be on three up period Even through all the red because there's like eight different sources of plus one to save in s2d. Yeah, okay, and he had all of Like all of them All right, and those chaos warriors if you've got like even the damage that's there against a three up save What you would end up doing is killing about It against a lot of the damaging units you'd end up picking up about 10 or 11 of them Okay, assuming you hit on sort of like with one of your pain trains, right that's not nothing But then they're just going to make it battle shock immune It's going to stick around and beat you on the objective still because there's still nine or ten guys All right, and you're like you're not that You're eight or something with your fulminators, right? But if you can then immediately go Okay, that unit's immune to battle shock when I hit if the draconis goes in and along, you know It makes them sorry. I'm immune to battle shock. I apologize vulnerable to battle shock other way around That unit just evaporates then They're gone. Sure if you roll a three plus if you have a nitro conus if it's in range to use a monstrous rampage Yeah, I mean I get like roar is good and roar is on the same things Yeah, but roar is good because it disables all that defense and all that attack Disabling inspiring presence is a very different effect I would have liked it better if it was this unit has to take battle shock tests like it must take battle shock tests There is nothing you can do to stop it because Oftentimes what I actually find is do you find up needing battle shock tests against a lot of the problematic horde units?  Yeah before they before they fit fixed I guess in a way before they fixed horrors to basically not take battle shock until they lose like 30 wounds Yeah, this would have been useful But most people that sort of are weak to battle. Sorry most armies that are weak to battle shock Also have some sort of auto pass mechanic and if it got past that I would have valued it a lot more It's a good point. Yeah, that's an interesting point. Okay The other mouth traits aren't spectacular either like celestial instincts definitely stands out retreat and shoot or retreat and charge Are really good Kind of a bummer that it's not both It would have been really nice for star drakes to keep using rain of stars even after they retreat Agreed. I don't know why it wasn't just both. Yes Yes, agreed And then the default pick after the faq it seems now that the toralon can actually take a mount trait The default pick is going to be the scintillating trail, which is like a pseudo plus one cast It's not really a plus one cast it reduces enemy unbinding roles But none of the other traits are really good So you end up taking scintillating trail and then you think oh well I've got a pseudo plus one cast. Maybe I should take more wizards and it kind of creates this interesting dynamic Um event is can't take it which is a bummer. Uh, just more reason to take the regular toralon I will say this I don't know if you with this all this farm cast spells. I think go off on a five Except for chain lightning which goes off on six So our spells aren't hard to cast so having like that pseudo plus one to cast where You lower their unbind. It's actually not that that it's pretty useful. Right. Yeah. No, I'm with that I'm with that All right Uh, good lord. Okay Let's move quickly through our discussion items because I want to get to your lists. Yes, uh Questions yet to be answered You mentioned that you went a deep dive on this So allies and coalition. I think we already kind of answered this earlier in the show Is there anything that you think meets the the the standard here that you should be looking at? Two things battle mage is insane Battle mage from cities of sigmar Even if you're not playing storm keeps just bring it as an ally because none of its spells require any keywords You can use wild form to get plus to your run in charge and right now we're playing in ger So you get plus one to cast so that cast on a four on the dice, which is insane That's so easy and reliable. That's that's like rolling a two plus. I think yep. I could be wrong about that That's really good. Also battle mages for fuzz protection Storm cast don't have many ways to get the minus one hit effect And when you can take a big hammer unit and give it minus one hit all the time Fuzz protection is really good too. The second unit I would consider and it gets featured shortly in this video is a frost Fuzz on a seven or six. Do you know of hands? I don't recall Fuzz I believe uh fuzz on a six But I'll double check It's it's not as useful as wild form. Uh, but once we leave ger It's gonna be a serious contention So, yeah, five Five. Wow. Yeah, even better protection is five I do want to say wild form really is useful because if you notice the wording it is not only within 12 It is within 12 You could literally backline your battle mage and have him buff up a unit and a casting value of four given that he gets Plus one from being in ger. So it's really really useful. Yeah. Yep Uh, yeah, I Great pick and yeah, you said the frost phoenix is the other one, right? Yep, yep, it's huge minus one wound especially after the changes to menagerie That's a great effect. And when we go to lists, we'll see further why yep right on How much do the monsters matter? How much do you need it like everybody talks about you gotta have monsters you gotta have monsters How much do the monsters matter? In our tactics video, I think we answered this question pretty well There's a battle tactic that pretty much if you have a monster you get two victory points That alone is good enough to bring at least one monster and it can't be a month a hero You turn into a monster with metamorphosis because you have to pick it at the start of the hero phase So toralon big ups that that's another reason to bring a toralon because once per game He scores you two victory points at usually at the hardest part of the game where you oh, I can't score anything else Oh, okay. Here's two victory points right in addition to everything else. It's doing storm drake guard are good That's understating it. They're very good But you don't bring them because they're a monster that just happens to be a thing that they do right Yep fair. Okay What do you do about mortal wound spam? GARDUS GARDUS and that becomes a problem bring GARDUS easy answer He's he's the man that guy His value is increasing drops for stormcast. We're gonna go into your list So this might be a good precursor to think about it before we get on a specific list How do you think about your drops when you're uh, when you're building your list? Do you care? Do you not care? Or do you vary? You get sure Sure, uh, either you go for the one drop if you want to be really really aggressive If you want to you know Wild farm in steadfast march a squad of four fulminators at the same time that you deep strike in a bunch of annihilators And at the same time that you're translocating crossbows up You want to be super aggressive You want to make sure your opponent has a chance to move their army out yet? You go one drop Uh, the alternative would be you go as many drops as possible because you actually want to have more drops So you have more information so you can counter deploy You don't you want to know where your opponent is putting their key wizard So you can put your dispel scroll in range You want to know where their shooting is going so you can put your raptors either on the table or in reserve You want to you want all the information possible and more drops as a benefit to that And taking more drops also gives you access to more battalions like the warlord to get more Enhancements and you can take hunters of the heartland Because getting roared really sucks in this army when you can't get plus one hit and you're hitting on threes And you you don't have that many dice. Yeah, you get some bad rolls and then it all starts to fall apart So you either go really aggressive with one drop or you go as many drops as possible In fact, even adding units to your list sometimes just to have more drops Okay, I like it. All right Let's talk lists So let me go ahead and timestamp this boy. That's going to be a jump in the video. Uh, all right Okay, cool Lists so the first list I have up is uh, uh, saint Uh, Karzai. So paul, I think this one is yours and it says work in progress on it I kept your work in progress tag. Thank you where you sent it. So sorry everybody understands what's going on Uh, so these go ahead These are slides from our upcoming episode which we happen to be working on when we were contacted to come on here We're just like, oh, okay. Here's a screenshot. Okay. See you in like six hours And uh paul, was this your mid shelf or top shelf?  One thing storm casts have never had the chance to do Hopefully until now is they've never had the super kill monster list every time I looked at the star drake I thought why don't you do more damage? I just want to move you forward and run through the enemy army Like seems like everybody else has something that can do that Or at least for a while it was like that, you know, you got the iron jaws and the fire slayers It's one super kill unit just run through the army and this is my attempt to do that And I think it could actually work. Uh, so the core of the list is karazai. He's the general which makes storm drake battle line None of the command traits are good. So I don't really care about skipping a command trait Give right to a unique character doesn't matter You put your storm drake guard in hunters the heartland. They're monsters that can't be monstered That's great. And then you take every single support hero you can think of to make karazai great So you've got garden stalks a garden steel soul You drop him in wherever karazai is fighting now karazai has a five up or you take the lord castellant That's a plus one save from the lantern guaranteed can't be unbound And then you take an arcane tome on him to cast mystic shield sometimes and thundershock other times You take five liberated for battle line tax You take a battle mage to either give him minus one to hit or wild form Which you might not need because karazai is pretty fast already 14 inch fly move is pretty good Uh, you take lord relic turd give him exploding sixes and you take a knight in cantor to give him plus one wound And a dispel scroll to stop hand of dust And that's the list you you give karazai every single buff in the game that you can And you just run him into the enemy army and he hits like a beast It's insane if you ever fight a unit with 10 models karazai will just explode everything. He's his damage output is tremendous Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Yeah, just like I highly encourage someone to run the stats hammer numbers on this dude Uh, like with you know, put don't don't put every buff here on Put half of these buffs on assume you get like half of them, right?  It's an incredible ability Yep, I love it. I love this list. This is fantastic. This is Paul. I want you to know this speaks to me deeply One I love hero hammer like I'm all I always this is what like original slanesh was exactly the the right thing to Tempt me in with its excess, right? Because you tell me there's a way to shove six heroes in a list and I'm like I'm listening That's what I'm here for. All right. I want my I want six heroes And then I love as a hardcore timmy a hardcore vowed and proud timmy Having one giant shiven dragon that's going to go forward and burn and ate the countryside Is pretty great. Oh boy. That's a magic reference right there. Yes. Yes indeed. I'm mixing all sorts of references. That's what it is Uh, so this is great, man. I love this. This is uh, this is really fun Do you think this is a three two pushing for one for one pushing five? Oh, or I have no idea I have I don't have care as I so I can't play test it unfortunately, but uh Yeah, that's a death star if you look at other death star lists like an archaon if this does a similar thing I think this does more damage than archaon Um similar durability, let's say between the five up board and the plus two to saves with mystic shield and lantern Plus four potentially if you do find a stour and all that defense Yeah, he's pretty durable and every time he kills a screening unit. He heals Yeah, I like it awesome Uh, all right before we go to the next list people are watching.  All right. Cool. Fantastic list, man This one when I read over him, I was like, this is my one right here So it's all down from here, but the elements are good, but this is my list. I should have put this last Because I love this Okay All right, the castle sample is number one hallow strike So this is hallowed knights science the storm who wants to take us through hallow strike I guess I will it's my last right So this this list is uh Is the third edition version of a list the one I mentioned earlier in the podcast that I had a really high win rate with That was anvil strike, which was 10 educators six raptors and then everything to support those two units and this is the third edition incarnation of it and what it gained And this edition is goddess who is a five-up ward on the whole army when you play a castle formation Everything has a five-up ward. So that 101 wound value that should say 151 wounds because he gives the army effectively 50 more wounds The knight and cantor stops spells So your long strikes are protected against uh techless against the gash against any kind of shenanigans like that the long strikes just Get value every turn every turn they take something key off the board once per turn They double tap to make sure of it The lord rellector with high priest you can give him the mirror shield instead of an arcane tome That's not necessary I like the arcane tome for additional value because I like casting celestial blades and getting an unbind It's got a toralon in there to make this up because you've got a lot of small units You want to buff all of them with all out attack at the same time toralon's really great for that And it's a monster. So it's two victory points every game Then it's got three liberator screens, which I did that on purpose I like having screens in this kind of setup Castles really want to make sure they have disposable cheap units that they can put in the way of the enemy army You have to lose something it might as well be a liberator Instead of something that's actually worthwhile And then the hammer unit. So we've got a shooting hammer in the long strikes And we've got a melee hammer Using glaives with protectors and now that can be swapped out I had this list originally built for translocation being able to move after it I felt like there was almost no downside to using protectors for this particular purpose They're too up-save is phenomenal. Their damage is phenomenal and they use only just the hatred But you can swap that out. You can do fulminators. You can do I've seen some people do variations of this list using a lord imperitent and Grand hammers. So there's there's some flexibility there But the core of the list is big shooting unit bunch of screens guard us everything after that can be modified So this was taken from Merganquist video was this from this was this was episode nine, right? Yeah, this was in our tactics video when we were explaining what a castle is How it works and how you deploy. Yeah. Yeah, so one of the benefits of getting rid of the protectors If you swap them up or something else is you don't have to take unleash that hatred Which means you can take a mirror shield somewhere in this list You can put that on the relic here and you can give the encanto or an arcane tome. So he cast two spells in turn Nice Nice Yeah, this is similar to list that I've been running Like the top end, you know top shelf type list I have not been using the tar along. What all is the tar along doing in this list? Giving everything all everything plus it's just all about the plus one ahead. It's also two victory points once per game It's also a fast flying three up five up wizard It's also got chain lightning because sometimes you need it to score battle tactics Sometimes doing damage in the hero phase is useful for not having to retreat Which is very useful if you combine the lord relic or lightning storm with the Chain lightning and then you also got the thunderbolt volley.  By one or two or something or models or whatever and it's just like gosh If only I could get rid of this in the hero phase with mortal wounds like hero phase mortal wounds Just having some amount on tap has just such a value to it, right? Especially in third edition where people are using heroic recovery to be even more annoying So that d3 might not be enough but 2d3 probably would be right that extra little bit from chain lightning really does help Yep I like it. I like it. Yeah, so this does still need to be updated. It was written before the FAQ So for example the arcanum doesn't have a mount trait You should probably give him scintillating trail with three wizards in the list just a heads up on that nice So how how strong so you you've gotten some games in with this list how Strong is this list in the in the meta? You know, are we talking about uh, you know proverbial s tier? Are we talking about an a tier how? Yeah It's really it's it's hard to play because it's not your typical move your units forward and fight for objectives in the middle The board you almost want to give up board position turn one and then you're playing from behind But you've got the power to overcome that It lacks mobility which is why I'm considering swapping the protectors for fulminators now One of the issues with castle lists of any kind is that if you don't have the speed to go out After your initial engagement you can fall behind on objectives But typically if you play this style correctly, there's nothing in the game You can't beat and that's a bold statement. I think maybe lumeneth might give you some trouble But if you play it correctly, you should be able to outrange their sentinels. You should be able to kill their foxes before taking any significant damage Um, yeah, it's a very powerful list. It's not easy to play and I don't recommend it for beginners If you're trying to get into stormcast don't play this list because it is not intuitive how good it is So i've been running uh relic tour and cantor castellans as the three heroes and essentially Yeah, it's like mirrored. It's the usual what you guys would expect Special blades mirrored shield, etc Tim Vindict or some like two by five liberators Maybe they have a sequiturs and then I kind of swapping in and out between sequiturs Just try them out and then the liberators and then it was six strikes and 10 protectors I think I had room for some ether wings in there as well to get the Translocation in the hero phase so you can get the plus one hits on the long strikes for the thunderbolt volley And then yeah doing the leash that hatred and thunderbolts and yeah, it's good Like it's the strongest. Oh and goddess course in hella knights. It's the strongest List that I've allowed myself to play in terms of like trying to figure out, you know that letting off the gas a little bit So I was hoping that maybe the 10 protectors Losing the translocation, you know have to move my tone this down meaningfully where it's not going to feel as oppressive, but I mean, I'm just like at least if that's the lens like, you know, trying to play something that's Strong can compete at tournaments, but it doesn't really feel oppressive doesn't feel like that top to your list I'm trying to yeah trying to gauge where you think that is right now This is this is more on the oppressive side. I wouldn't play this at friendly games I would take this if I wanted to go three and oh and an rtt Or go probably at least four one and a gt probably five.  You stop them from mailing you It's just not fun to play against like only other shooting armies would have any amount of tactical enjoyment out of this And as soon as I found so it's been by far this kind of the the strikes guard us protectors I haven't tried fulminators. They were like the obvious like the more mobility I thought protectors a little more Slightly letting off the gas relative to the fulminators But still incredible value because they you can save stack plus four on there that we get through stack with guard us It's crazy, but yeah, it's felt by far That's that's what led me to try to figure out something other than long strikes And it hasn't been going all that well yet Um, I like I like to your guys break down of judicators like that does seem like an interesting one Oh, yeah, try crossbows the the range on it makes them a lot more fun to play against They do more damage, but they're also putting themselves in range of the enemy. So it feels more balanced Balanced in terms of like who's having fun, right? Like it's fun to have powerful shooting units But if they're doing it from across the board with no line of sight like 360 no scoping you that's not fun Um long long strikes are kind of borderline oppressive As long as luminous sentinels exist though, I don't know who's going to be complaining about long strikes. Sure Yeah Yeah, we yeah, we live in the world with the bogeyman. So the boba duke is just like, yeah, okay, whatever. All right uh Okay Drake off blizzard Mergonck, this is yours. Uh, this is your work in progress list here. Uh in hammers of sigmar Uh, I have been finding by the way that I I I end up in hammers a lot because one I favor fulminators and other drake Offs is And two because I actually like having a six up word basically all the time given the nature of that rule I find over the course of the game. It actually does do quite a lot of work Uh, and I think people right of like the six mortal wound nonsense, right? Because I make one the hero lives cool great Sorry, yeah, and you know, holy, holy. Yeah, holy with it. No, I agree holy within 12 is a huge amount of area It's more than people think it is, right, you know, you're talking about, you know, the pyre square thing It gets squared up. So it's really good Um, so this is a my list by the way, I should say paul is like the expert at list making i'm like Slightly blown. So my lists are a little more simple. I wanted something to make storm keeps. This is my mid shelf list, by the way Uh, I wanted to make storm keeps work Um, I noticed that you know, nobody's really making a lot of lists with them And the reason to take storm keep as we mentioned earlier is the anointed on pro start phoenix He's a coalition unit here so he can take arcane tome for flaming weapon Clearing up and goes off on a four it also By the by ends up giving him a mystic shield for free So he goes up on the three up save because the spell went off Sure He could also needs to obviously mystic shield himself and just go have fully two on him. So it's a versatile. Oh, yeah Yeah, it's a versatile. Yeah, exactly. And uh It turns his eight talent attacks from two damage to three damage So he becomes and with his wound or of minus one to wound for melee weapons He turns into this annoying thing that your opponent has a tough time killing To this thing they can't ignore because they he might hit them with the potential of 24 damage on the talents If he gets slain weapon because that's eight attacks eight times three Um, the rest of the list is pretty standard knight encounter. They deny spells relictor for blessed weapons in this case. Um The blessed weapons mostly go on your, uh, dracots Uh, in this case, I have two formators and victors for tempestors. I'm a bit tempestors. I think Uh, they're like a very unique unit in the sense that they are basically mobile judicators would have which have crossbow rend And then can go into melee and also find something The initial work Some sorry, man tempestors have is it are they like the thunderbolt crossbows judicators each six is out of two hits? No, uh, uh, yes. No, it's each hit is an additional hit. Yeah every hit doubles Every hit doubles. Sorry. That's that's what I mean. So that would not stack with blessed weapons No, that would not and the initial version of this only had lots of weapons for Two groups of two fulminators that I had instead of the tenders, but I found that a little too A little too highly tuned It's like you take start taking fulminators and tempestors and you know, the list becomes like really really pretty pretty good actually so my idea is to use at least one block for that uh shield of civilization and um The redeemer thing where they become 15 models or in this case 30 models at the start of three So protect your home objective, you know, just shoot them with judicators If anything comes close, just chew them with tempestors and judicators counter-target fulminators And as turn three switches on, you know, you slowly move the board and then start taking over And the entire time your castle is being protected by the anointed or frost art units So if anything comes close, there are no minus one to you and he's a fast hero He's a monster for battle tactics His damage can't be ignored if he's particularly if he casts uh flaming weapon on himself So, yeah, uh, this is pretty standard I also managed to put in an emerald ice warm in sense in the sense that if your opponent has some amount of Shooting three of indicators and judicators, you can sort of double activate that and then try and get value off of that So, yeah Maybe someday you'll be able to tell me why I did not unbind your uh dispel your emerald life swarm But uh, that's that's my third reference. So I'll stop now In a lot of area of grievances here, Tyler Oh my god The amount of water guard that came back. I don't blame you One more tank guard One more one model. We're gank. Okay, moving on This is uh, this is a great mid chef list. Yeah, because you've let off the gas a little bit I feel with tinge judicators. You got a nice mix. Yeah, it's it's really cool It's got a nice mix of everything, but it doesn't feel like I'm just hammering my opponent There's nothing they can do about it Um, which is also why I went for the steadfast march in order to get Fulminators or tempesters into combat if I need to be ideally you In a more tuned list, you'd probably want like Thunderbolt Wally and go go with the judicators inside Yeah, yeah Yeah, I will say I mean steadfast march does like if you're trying to deliver fulminators the advantage to steadfast march is that It will do that We are desperate for mobility So giving up a mortal wound breath attack in exchange for a naked d6 run That's a trade we're gonna make because we're just that desperate for mobility. Sure. Sure. Absolutely Well, I mean, you know if you happen to be having Annihilators and Lord imperitent, then it's a great use for the the auto run six for a free command point to just be like They dropped at seven and also you guys why don't you run six and now they're 16 threatening off the I gotta correct you there You can't run six and steadfast march in the same turn because a unit can only issue and receive one command So steadfast march happens at the start of the movement phase and you uh, you have to issue it to a unit And that unit cannot receive the right right. You're right. You're right. I wish we could man that that would be so good. You're absolutely right Uh, yeah, I was I was not uh, I wasn't thinking that through but no, you're absolutely right. Paul. Thank you for catching that Yes, good good catch. Yeah, because they are both movement phase. Yes Uh But yes, even the even on a straight d6 it still works right? Yes, it's it's doing work Uh going from 10 plus a charge to 13 plus a charge on average is still uh, actually not a bad benefit Okay Uh, let's see lastly I'm uh Annihilator Annihilation, let's just say that Annihilation agrande. There we go We're gawk.  I tell you what buddy You're bringing that you know how I am with pronunciations and this is what you're hitting me with That hurts Okay Uh, take me through this. This is Yeah, so I think this is this would be my little bit of a top shelf list and I think you will see Some version of this is this is something that's fairly obvious to people who are trying to build stormcast lists with the new models We all know how good annihilators of meteo or grandhammers are and this list plans to make use of them So you got your standard two heroes the relicter and the encanter Uh, and as we've seen they keep showing up at practically every list that stormcasts like to make The impertent because he pairs all of the annihilators vanguard raptors And then just some basic screening units and board presence units like prosecutors liberators and aether wings for the hero faced under both wally plus one to hit The idea with this list is extremely simple. Uh, you essentially Hammer them with vanguard raptors and each turn Sometimes two in a turn you drop your meteor a grand hammer seven inches away and you charge and delete whatever it is And the idea is like and we considered putting you know six Doing the annihilator group as a sort of one green of six and one unit of three But we discovered that six was almost always overkill Yeah, uh, where you ended up or doing so much extra damage that it was a waste of points And so it's better to do the one two punch where the raptors hit something and then the annihilators hit it And then that way you you delete one or two units a turn um In this case you're dropping the like I assume your goal is annihilators one annihilators on two and annihilators on three Yes, absolutely that way you're seven inch Each yes each turn. Yep, you have something to do each turn. Um, yeah, we prefer that strategy Guys check because of course with with six log strikes and three annihilators dropping in assuming you hit the seven every real charge. Have you checked the dps? Uh against Kraken or or yeah It kills a gargant it kills a gargant It kills our can with minus one hit and put and a two up save I think we assumed a two up save and minus one hit was active still kills our can on average Meteor grand hammers are insane damage like people do not understand you drop in three models They get a basically a two up to charge because it's a seven inch re-roll And then they charge in and deal 20 damage to a three up save They do insane damage and that's for 240 points Now they're limited because you can only drop in one per turn at that effect because each one after the first has to Be nine inches away But with this list You have a castle set up in the corner shooting out with long strikes every turn and as they're coming towards you You're just dropping nukes on them with these grand hammers every turn Right and those nukes like Vince mentioned how good the vexler was for its effect to do mortal wounds to other things That's a 10-inch effect for mortal wounds So you're going to be peppering mortal wounds on other units while this is happening So you're already doing the work for the other annihilators are about to land which makes this good in my opinion The general is the encounter we took lightning blast in this case because Well, like Paul said you're going to be deployed in a corner at the back to shooting with long strikes And lightning blast has like an unlimited range to just do d3 more wounds to something So that's that's just helpful Master of magic because in case I want to cast my six shield. I want to be able to re-roll it and Mirror shield to protect it Translocation isn't as important for this list. I mean it's good to be able to translocate your raptors But it's not something your entire strategy is going to depend on to where you need high priests Like the two up is I think is reliable like it's worth it to take that chance And we gave him the arcane tone with thundershock In case there's ever a scenario where we need to translocate himself and then cast thundershock on something Or in like that 18 inch bubble and then when you're annihilators land and they're hitting something And if they get hit by something that's next to them They might be on a minus when they wound which gives the annihilators a better chance The night's excelsior trade actually works out really well because annihilators natively wound on twos Well, the grand hammer wants to anyway So if they get the plus when they hit you're talking about twos and twos Which isn't going to happen a lot against Like a lot of the gargant lists or like a very single monster heavy focus lists But you know, you see iron jaws lists and they're trying to run a single mall crusher and two groups of six pigs and Hey, I want to hit pigs with twos and twos minus two rent three damage. That sounds great. That sounds wonderful Yeah How are you dealing with the like obviously so the picture that I didn't include and it was a good picture Showed just how much of the board can be blocked by palisade Like if you corner the raptors and you have the palisade like I mean it's It is an insane amount of the board that basically you're you're you're blocking off from my site How are you navigating it for your own? Unit shooting over it then are you putting it up defensively and then getting rid of it that kind of thing So I'll just quickly introduce this but I'll let paul take over the explanation because he's far better at doing this Techie stuff. This is a secret but a tech included because lumina foxes are a problem And It's to help raptors survive longer against that and potentially even melee alpha strikes that just want to reach out to the raptors And paul you want to take over the little like techie explanation? Yeah, sure Before we get super techie, let's talk about the prosecutors in this list Sure Because we went back and forth about whether to include more liberators or bring in some prosecutors all our battle lines lots Are filled so liberators don't have that additional value But this is a castle you do want screens and we felt that prosecutors in addition to just fitting the points well They can charge in alongside the grandhammers eat an unleashed hell from something that you actually care about eating the unleashed hell from With their 3d6 charge and then you don't care what they do That's all that's the only reason they existed to eat that unleashed hell And they're also just a screen they take up a fair amount of space about the same amount as five liberators So that extra utility instead of taking liberators in this case comes in handy because you are trying to do deep strike charges So that's exactly where you don't like this comes in Yeah, with their with their wing to wing spread on the three inches about it's almost 10 inches from side to side of the base Yeah, it's so it's it's pretty much like having a liberator squad in terms of zone denial Some opponents are going to get cheeky and run between your models, but we're looking to do about that So that so the palisade The palisade is a is a it's a little bit of spice here to deal specifically with two things in the meta right now that I can see One is very specific. It's the lumineff foxes The problem when you're playing storm cast against sentinels In particular the lumineff list that uses 30 sentinels and three foxes I find that to be Maybe the strongest list in the game right now at least from a storm cast perspective That's the one to beat because we can deal with the sentinels just fine We can drop in through scions and we can shoot them And if we catch them without a command point, they will die at a battle shock We can also translocate forward thunderbolt volley and then shoot them if we have a sufficiently far back deployment And we can do that against the techless version of the lumineff lists.  Yeah, so This is in particular to deal with lumeneth foxes because they even with their 24 inch move They just won't have the ability to get all the way around Given how the angles work out and how much distance this takes up The other thing the palisade is in here to deal with you can move through in the spells But you can't move on and then the spell you can't finish a move and that includes charge moves So all these crazy iron jaws lists that are trying to do You know five different teleports and then moving in the hero phase and then charging you normally None of that works because you have a palisade in the way and they can't be in range to dispel it at the start of the Round one because you've cast it out of their range because you don't care how far back you play You know they're going to charge you so you sit at the back of the board in the corner Out of their dispel range they might teleport into range to dispel the next turn But that first turn they're not going to be in range to dispel it so it buys you an extra turn Which is beautiful and that's actually why we took master of magic in this list instead of high priest I would rather reroll the palisade and reroll a few other things with that Especially dispelling your own palisade. It comes in handy. Sure. Sure. Yeah Palisade still a five Yes, I believe yes, I believe it. Yep. It used to be a six in second and they made it easier So it's super easy to dispel right? But everyone every list except for seraphon will be out of range to dispel it if you do this correctly I'm hoping to feature this a version of this list. Maybe this exact list in our upcoming battle reports, which TBD when that happens But we definitely want to show this off because it is really techie, but it is really cool And I think it gives stormcast the extra edge they need in order to be Capable of beating everything in the meta Yeah, nice. I like it All right Tyler any final thoughts on this? Yeah, these are great lists guys. I really appreciate it There's like Tyler and I did not make any lists because I was like I saw these and I was like nah Now we're good Paul and regan got us covered Thank you. Thank you gentlemen so much for coming on tonight. Yeah, this has been an amazing show It really has a deep life. Yes a lot of good information like I I one of the things I'll say is that What I value in people who comment on the quality of stuff is when they display like a sort of deep critical thinking about it, right and don't just sort of fly off into into Into very half thought out responses And what I've noticed from you guys both in the show and on your channel is you've thought through all this stuff very deeply You guys are really excellent at not only thinking through the strategy the tactics But the critical thinking of how you're playing how your opponent's acting stuff like that And when you're expressing these opinions on units, even when we sometimes disagree, which again, we didn't screw on that much actually Uh, I love how well you thought it out and it's great. This is absolutely fantastic. I'd love to have you guys back on sometime Uh, maybe when stormcast 2 comes out or maybe before Sure, I just want to give a quick shout out to our other, uh, co-storm host jj He's not in the the chat with us today or sorry. He's not in the call with us today Uh, but he is very much a part of our our podcast He has a cool element of like this layman who doesn't know that much about the guy. I feel like I'm insulting him No, I feel bad. Uh, let's just say let's just say paul's paul's makes most experience It's made experience and new players and so the idea is to get perspectives from all three kinds of And players and has entry levels and stages ignore So like we get a wide variety of perspectives and like opinions on what they think is what each person thinks is good Yeah, I don't want to I don't want our show to just become like this is what all the top tournament players do Like I don't I want more than that I want people to just talk about playing stormcast or any army really eventually we might branch out into Into other factions, but yeah, I shout out to jj. You rock. Good luck on painting those six track offs this weekend That's a lot of drake offs. That's a lot of drake offs Yeah, all right. Good stuff. Well gentlemen, thank you so much for all of you out there who watched Thank you so much if you made it to the end uh, don't forget to uh Don't forget to hit that like button subscribe if you haven't already shared this around that helps other people Stormkeep listed in the description go check them out Their link is down there. Go give them a watch. He'll give them a sub as well Uh, gentlemen, absolute pleasure. Tyler. Thank you as always For all of you out there. Thank you so much as always We'll see you next wednesday Bye

We are the women of the PMC Lawson Cancer Center. We are here to support your journey, deliver hope, and provide solutions that will advance your care. Our purpose is saving lives. To honor, celebrate, and support local first responders, the City of Pikeville and Association with other organizations will be holding First Responders Day in the Pikeville City Park. We just locked here in the city. We honor all of our first responders, our veterans. Everyone just comes together and has a great time. It's just a good overall event. The community showing the first responders how much they care and everything. It also allows all the co-workers to be able to meet out together and just have a good time. First Responders Appreciation Day is typically held around September 11, but due to weather and other scheduling conflicts, the date was moved to October 28, National First Responders Day. It's always very humbling when the community supports the job that we do. We take pride in working in this community. These are the communities that we live in and the fact that they want to put together a day just to show support for first responders, law enforcement, EMTs, EMS, dispatchers, it's very humbling, and it gives us a sense of pride to get to do the job here. First Responders Day will be held at the Pikeville City Park on October 28, starting at 12 p.m. It is recommended that attendees arrive early. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says a diet is to contain at least 80 units of vitamin A and 100 units of minerals. Two foods F1 and F2 are available. Food F1 costs rupees 4 per unit and F2 costs rupees 6 per unit. One unit of food F1 contains 3 units of vitamin A and 4 units of minerals. One unit of food F2 contains 6 units of vitamin A and 3 units of minerals. Formulate this as a linear programming problem and find graphically the minimum cost for diet that consists of mixture of these two foods and also needs the minimal nutritional requirements. Let's move on to the solution now. First of all we assume let the diet contain x units of food F1 and y units of food F2. Now clearly we have x greater than equal to 0 and y greater than equal to 0. We make this following table from the given data. So according to the given problem we have two foods F1 and F2 and we had assumed that the food F1 contains x units and food F2 contains y units. Now here we have vitamin A and minerals. In the question it's given to us that one unit of food F1 contains 3 units of vitamin A and 4 units of minerals. So in this table we write vitamin A in food F1 is 3 units and minerals in food F1 is 4 units. Then in food F2 according to the question we have that one unit of food F2 contains 6 units of vitamin A and 3 units of minerals. So vitamin A in food F2 is 6 units and 3 units of minerals in food F2. In the question we have that the diet is to contain at least 80 units of vitamin A and 100 units of minerals. So in this table in the column of requirement we'll write 80 for vitamin A and for minerals it would be 100. Then in the question it's also given that the food F1 costs rupees 7 per unit and the food F2 costs rupees 6 per unit. So here we would write 4 and here we would write 6. Then in the question we have the cost of food F1 per unit is rupees 4 and the cost of food F2 per unit is rupees 6. Now according to the question we have that the diet must contain at least 80 units of vitamin A and 100 units of minerals. So these are the constraints 3x plus 6y should be greater than equal to 80 3y should be greater than equal to 100. These are the two constraints. Now the total cost say z of the diet containing x units of food F1 and y units of food F2 is given by z is equal to now it's given in the question that rupees 4 per unit is the cost of food F1 and rupees 6 per unit is the cost of food F2. Now since we are purchasing x units of food F1 and y units of food F2 so we would have z would be equal to 4x plus 6y. Hence we say the mathematical formulation of the problem minimize z is equal to 4x plus 6y let this be equation 1. Subject to constraints plus 6y greater than equal to 80 let this be equation 2x plus 3y greater than equal to 100 let this be equation 3 and x and y greater than equal to 0 let this be equation 4. Now we will graph the inequalities 2, 3 and 4 that is these three inequalities first we consider the equation 3x plus 6y is equal to 80 this is the table of values for the equation 3x plus 6y equal to 80 so for x equal to 0 we have y equal to 40 upon 3 and for x equal to 80 upon 3 we have y is equal to 0 now we draw the graph for this equation this is the graph of the equation 3x plus 6y is equal to 80 since the 0.00 that is the origin does not satisfy the in equation 3x plus 6y greater than equal to 80 so the region above this line would represent the inequality 3x plus 6y greater than equal to 80 so this region is the inequality 3x plus 6y greater than equal to 80 next consider the equation 4x plus 3y equal to 100 in this equation when we put x equal to 0 we get y as 100 upon 3 and for x equal to 25 we get y as 0 we plot these points to get the graph of this equation this line joining the point C and D represents the graph of the equation 4x plus 3y is equal to 100 now as the point origin that is 00 does not satisfy the in equation 4x plus 3y greater than equal to 100 so the region above this line not containing the point 00 would represent the inequality 4x plus 3y greater than equal to 100 so this shaded region represents the inequality 4x plus 3y greater than equal to 100 now x greater than equal to 0 is represented by the y axis and the region to its right hand side that is this region then y greater than equal to 0 is represented by the x axis and the region above this so this region in red is the inequality 4x plus 3y greater than equal to 100 and this region in yellow that is above this line including this red region is the inequality 3x plus 6y greater than equal to 80 so this region with lines is the feasible region including the points C, D and B now we also need to find the point of intersection of these two equations so we have equation 3x plus 6y equal to 80 now we multiply this equation by 2 so we have 8x plus 6y is equal to 200 now we subtract these two equations so as to get minus 5x equal to minus 120 and from here we get x is equal to 120 upon 5 now 524 times is 120 therefore we get x is equal to 24 now to get the value for y we substitute the value for x in any of the above two equations so now we have 3 into x that is 24 plus 6 into y is equal to 80 thus further we have 72 plus 6y is equal to 80 this gives us 6y is equal to 80 minus 72 that is 8 so now y is equal to 8 upon 6 now 2 3 times is 6 and 2 4 times is 8 therefore y is equal to 4 upon 3 thus x is equal to 24 and y is equal to 4 upon 3 so the point of intersection of the two lines 3x plus 6y equal to 80 and 4x plus 3y equal to 100 is this point say point E with coordinates 24 comma 4 upon 3 thus the corner points of this feasible region are C E and the point B so the corner points of the feasible region are point C with coordinates 0 comma 100 upon 3 E with coordinates 24 comma 4 upon 3 and point B with coordinates 80 upon 3 and 0 now we have z is equal to 4x plus 6y now we will evaluate z at these corner points now at the corner point C with coordinates 0 comma 100 upon 3 let's find the value of z which would be equal to 4 into 0 plus 6 into 100 upon 3 now 3 2 times is 6 and this is equal to 200 now next at the corner point E with coordinates 24 and 4 upon 3 we have the value of z equal to 4 into 24 plus 6 into 4 upon 3 now 3 2 times is 6 and so this is equal to 104 then at the corner point B with coordinates 80 upon 3 and 0 we have the value of z equal to 4 into 80 upon 3 plus 6 into 0 and this is equal to 106.6 now out of these 3 values of z we have 104 is minimum therefore we say the minimum cost is rupees 104 when we have x is equal to 24 that is the x coordinate of the point E that is x is 24 units and y is 4 upon 3 units so this is the required answer that the minimum cost is rupees 104 when x is 24 units and y is 4 upon 3 units so this completes the session hope you have understood the solution of this question


land water air and wildlife the essentials for life and for our quality of life Conserving protecting and enhancing precious natural resources has been the mission of America's National Wildlife Refuge System for 100 years The National Wildlife Refuge System was born of necessity Wildlife habitats were disappearing at an alarming rate and poachers were taking the public's wildlife America's natural heritage was in jeopardy Teddy Roosevelt took a stand against the waste of wildlife in 1903 Declaring Florida's Pelican Island a sanctuary for birds More than 530 refuges would follow from coast to coast and far beyond Nearly 100 million acres and all with at least one in every state The only network of lands dedicated specifically to wildlife conservation Now a century later we celebrate these splendors of nature and the benefits they provide for all Americans They are stepping stones of habitat for countless migratory animals Sanctuaries for some of our most endangered species Crown jewels of rare and biologically rich ecosystems and yet they remain some of America's best kept secrets They offer unparalleled outdoor activities fishing hunting wildlife observation photography environmental education and interpretation With expert habitat management and restoration they contribute to a healthy environment that is essential to a sustainable economy And help local communities by enhancing the quality of life through outdoor recreation tourism and commerce They protect biologically sensitive wetlands providing both habitat for wildlife and flood protection for people Some refuges were once wasted and contaminated lands bombing ranges hazardous waste dumps and abandoned farms Depleted and useless to wildlife for people The US Fish and Wildlife Service using the best modern science nursed these lands back to health Saving our rich natural heritage for future generations Through careful stewardship, they continue the legacy of conservation that began a century ago I'm Steve Williams director of the US Fish and Wildlife Service Inviting you to join all of us in celebrating the National Wildlife Refuge Systems 100th anniversary This centennial offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity For people to enjoy special events on refuges and explore and enjoy some of America's greatest natural treasures Meeting the conservation challenges of the new century and continuing the proud legacy of our Refuge System Depends on the support and shared stewardship of our professionals and our partners Citizens and volunteers people just like you and me So I want to offer my personal invitation to you discover who we are and what we do Let's make sure our National Wildlife Refuge System does not remain America's best-kept secret


My name's Megan and I need to unhaul some books. Hello everyone and welcome if you're new here. My name's Megan. If you're not, you already know that. And I have far too many books. I have too many books. I have too many books. I do not want to comment. Why? Why? I currently have two bookshelves filled. I need to get another one, but I'm not gonna get another one until I move my whole room around. I need to rotate everything in order to fit a new bookshelf in. So that's not gonna happen for a while. I don't have it in me. I don't have it in my soul. I'm not ready for that. So we've got to get rid of some books. I saw Gavin from How To Train Your Gavin do this video. I will link his original video down below. I'm gonna challenge myself to unhaul. I think 30 is a good number. I think in my life I only have unhauled maybe eight or ten books. I find unhauling very hard. Gavin unhauled 100. I'm not gonna unhaul 100. Not a joke, just a fact. Not a joke, just a fact. Not a joke, just a fact. I don't think I have as many books as him, so I don't think I can unhaul 100, but I'm gonna try and unhaul 30 from both my red books and my unread books. Before we actually get into it, I want to tell you guys about the sponsor for today's video, which is a super cool app I've been using for the past couple weeks, and it's called Basmo. So it's an app made specifically for readers, and I think for readers that are like top tier readers. So I feel like a lot of you will like it. It's basically the perfect place to track your reading all in one place. If you like reading statistics like me, if you watch my rap apps you'll know I always do monthly reading statistics. I love them. This place does it for you. You don't need to like have an Excel spreadsheet like I do. It will have all these graphs and like bar charts based on how much you're reading every day, how many books you've read, stuff like that, how you're feeling about what you're reading. You can track your reading like per session, so whenever you sit down to read you can open the app, track it, you put how much pages you read, and so it's going to tell you like how many pages you're averaging per hour. So not only can you set goals for like how many books you want to read a year, you can set goals on how long you want to read per day. You can also read more mindfully by journaling your emotions and thoughts as you read, which I really like because the thing with like sites like Goodreads is that it's public facing, whereas with Bazmo it's all personal so I think you can be a lot more honest in a way with your thoughts about what you're reading and like things you wouldn't say to the public. So I think it's a great place to general those thoughts and you can also record like your favorite quotes from books and design pictures of them that you could put as like your phone, lock screen and stuff like that. So I've really loved using the app. I'll leave the link down below. I'd really recommend you check it out. Okay, let's get into the unhaul. I'm terrified, you guys. I'm so scared.  This isn't this. I'm not faking this reaction at all. I hate it. I hate it. I can do this. I can do this. I'm a powerful strong woman. Okay. I'm going to go by like shelf initially and we'll see how we do. So I don't know if you, you can't really see it, but this shelf is my worst shelf.  I hate now. This is my mystery thriller shelf and it's the one I have the least amount of room on right now, but also there's not many I want to unhaul. So let's, let's go through it. Okay, this one, The Widows of Malabar Hill by Sujata Massey. I wanted to love this so badly. It was a mystery set in 1920s India, but it was just so boring. Here's the thing, it wasn't even like bad. It wasn't, it didn't anger me with how bad it was. That's why I don't even have an angry reaction left to it. I just have nothing. It was just boring. It was dull. It wasn't well paced. I don't think it was well written. Oh, I need to, I have a shopping list stuck inside of it. Well, I need to get rid of that before I do anything with this book. The first thing is pads. So it'll be great for someone to find. Are you not ashamed of yourself? Are you not embarrassed? This is really embarrassing. Yeah, I don't even have negative feelings towards this. I just have no feelings. So I am happy to let this book go. That's one done. Okay, any more on here that I'm happy to get rid of? Oh, this is hard, you guys. This is really hard. I don't know if I want to get rid of If We Were Villains by MLB. Listen, I didn't like the book, but it was gifted to me by Riley when I hit 1k subscribers. And so like, it just, I feel like I have a connection to it. I don't think I want to unhaul If We Were Villains yet. If it comes to it and we're struggling to reach 30, this may be one to go. I feel like I have a memory attached to it. Make a memory. Oh my God, no one will get that reference. I watch a show called Bargain Hunt in the UK. It's an old woman show, all the old women watching the day. I love it. I want to, no one will get this. I'm just going to cut this out or maybe I won't. I'm one of the experts, Charles, whenever he's trying to sell something that no one's going to want, he's like, make a memory, make a memory. Anyway, sorry, that's embarrassing. I'm going to unhaul my lovely wife by Samantha Downing. This, I think I gave it like three stars, but I didn't really enjoy this that much. It was pretty much like a 2.75. This is like a story about this couple who killed together basically, but I didn't think it was exciting. We didn't actually get any of the killing.  Let's go for it. So do you think I deserve better than that? Yes.  And this book was like £3 from Sainsbury's, so I have no qualms unhauling this. I haven't made like any space because this shelf was already overflowing. Do I want to unhaul this? Yeah, okay. I'm going to unhaul The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley. If you look here, you'll see the guest list by Lucy Foley. Probably like my favorite thriller, Mystery of All Time. I love it so much. I need to reread it. But for me, The Hunting Party is like the bad baby version because this was written before. It's like the bad baby version of the guest list. The characters were all annoying. The plot wasn't great. I didn't really enjoy it. And like having it there does bring me some level of joy because it's yellow.   But I think getting rid of it and giving it, putting it back out, this is the way I've got to think of it. I'm putting these books back out into the world for people to enjoy. That's not me. That's three books down. And it already is hard. You guys, I'm going to do this. Okay. This shelf, nothing is going because this is like a favorite shelf. The next shelf down, nothing is going because there's a lot of favorites there. Oh my God, this is hard. Okay, I'm going to take a big leap. I'm going to take a big leap. Are we ready? Now, this is hard because again, there is a memory attached to this. But I'm going to unhaul Scarlet Crest, Winter and Ferris from the Lunar Chronicles series. This is hard for me because when I was like 13, this was one of my favorite series ever. I loved it. You probably know what this is. It's by Marissa Meyer. It's like these sci-fi retellings of fairy tales. And I loved it. I haven't obviously read it for like eight years, but I've always wanted to reread them. However, my mum lent Cinder to a family friend and I've never gotten it back. So I can't start the series. I don't have the first book in the series. And so I think I want to get the new covers. I'll put a picture of them in here. They're much nicer. So if I ever reread these books, I'm going to buy the new covers anyway. So I think we can unhaul that. And that's four. That's four done in one fell swoop. So I'm proud of myself there. So we're up to seven books. Okay, what next? Okay, so this one is the first book that I am unhauling that I know for sure has been gifted by a friend. I don't know if I said this. Did I say this? I am going to be unhauling books that I think may be gifted. I forget what books I have have been gifted and which ones haven't. And especially because my family buy books for me, like off my wishlist at Christmas and birthdays and stuff, I forget very... I may remember a book has been gifted, but I can't remember is it family because they don't care? Or is it like a friend or one of you guys?  I wouldn't have a problem with someone, if they've read or DNF'd a book that I've gifted to them unhauling it. I wouldn't unhaul a book that someone's gifted to me and I haven't even read it. But if it's something that I have read and not enjoyed or DNF'd, I hope no one's gonna get upset with me for unhauling that. I know in Gavin's video, he didn't unhaul gifted books and he started like struggling because everything he wanted to unhaul had been gifted and everyone in the comments was like, it's fine to unhaul those books. And if it was on the other foot, I wouldn't mind. Like I'd want them to unhaul it to make more shelf space. So I can't remember. I may have already unhauled books that someone's gifted to me. I don't think I have, but like I said, I find it hard to remember like individual books, like a year, a year and a half on. Okay, editing making here. I am so annoyed. I am so annoyed at how much I keep scratching my nose. I have really bad hay fever, but I'm like, girl, leave your nose alone. Anyway, sorry, back to the video. So I hope Molly doesn't mind. I love you. I hope you don't mind. But my friend Molly gifted me The Court of Miracles by Kesta Grant. I DNF'd this. I never DNF'd and I didn't DNF'd this at like 50 pages in. I'm sad because it's beautiful and because Molly gifted it to me, but Molly's gifted to me lots of five star books. And this was just so bad. Like it was written terribly. He's terrible, your honor. He's really terrible. I don't understand how anyone could read this and think it was good. Like some books that I hate, I'm like, okay, I could see how people enjoy that. But this was just terrible. Like the writing was some of the worst writing I've ever read. So I'm gonna unhaul it. I hope that's okay. This shelf down here is double backed. And I feel like a lot of the books down here that are hiding, I can unhaul. So let me try and grab a few and we'll speed through them. Okay, we've hit the jackpot ladies and gentlemen. Basically, on my bottom fantasy shelf, I had all these books hiding behind other books. And I just think okay, it's time to let some of these go. So let me go through these quickly because I could not remember what most of these books about. I read them when I was like 12. The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer. Can't remember what it's about. I don't think I really liked it even then getting rid. Dracula by Brown Stoker. I studied this at sixth form. So like when I was like 16 and I didn't like it even then. I've probably given like two stars then. You've been very, very harsh. Nice to meet you, Kelly. The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger. I have no memories of reading this. Macbeth by Shakespeare. Another book that I studied. Don't think I really cared. Getting rid of this. Have a Little Faith by Mitch Album. I cannot remember this book at all. I'm not even sure I read this. I don't think I even read this. So getting rid. Now this one I remember enjoying. So I'm a bit like oh, but I don't think it's like it's never a book I'm gonna reread and I cannot tell you what it's about. So I have no reason to hold on to it. Life After Life by Kate Atkinson. I remember enjoying this. I remember really enjoying this when I read it when I was like 13. But I could not tell you what it's about. I know it's like a series. I'm not gonna continue with this series because I literally cannot remember. So it can go it's a big voice or make a room for more books. This one I did read more recently. I read it like while I've had my channel maybe or just before I had my channel. A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf. I know this is like a super popular book. I think I read it. I read this for the reading rush not last year, the year before. So right before I started my channel and I just didn't like this.  How do you know what's good for me? That's my opinion! And then The Humans by Matt Hague. I didn't like this when I read it when I was like 13. I love the Midnight Library by Matt Hague. It's like a five star for me.  Sorry that's mean. I shouldn't say those kind of things. I should just keep that inside. But I just didn't enjoy this. I thought the writing wasn't for me. Again like I have no very small memories. This was eight years ago. But I remember not liking it. So how many best that's helped us out there. Right how many books are we up to now? 15, 16. Oh my god. We are over halfway. We are over halfway you guys. I am so proud of her. I could cry. So that's everything from an initial search. I'm happy to get rid of on this shelf. Let me go over to some of the other shelves. I'm looking at them and it's like nothing I want to unhaul. Okay. Okay I've got a few. The top shelf over there is my non-fiction shelf. And to be honest there wasn't many that I wanted to unhaul from that. Because I feel like a lot of those books will be useful to have in the future. So the only one I'm unhauling is Truth to Power by Jess Phillips. This was just not really a book. I really enjoyed Every Woman by Jess Phillips. Jess Phillips is a UK politician. It is signed though but I don't really care. I don't want to call it a cash grab. But Every Woman, her other book did so well and it was more of a memoir. And I felt like that really had a point of view and like had a purpose. And this book I just felt like was just because the other one did so well and they thought she could do another book. Next one is going to be controversial but I'm finally going to let go of Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. I didn't like Red, White and Royal Blue. I gave it two stars. I really didn't like it. I don't think it's very good. Yeah it was just not for me. It's not for me. It's not for me. It's not for me. It's not for main part. Yeah so it's going, it's going, it's going. We're saying goodbye. Then next I am going to buy, buy? No. I'm gonna unhaul Next to You in Havana by Chanel Cliton. This is like another romance. It's set in Havana in the 1950s and then in 2017. And again I just really didn't like this. I didn't like the romances. I didn't like the writing. I thought it was really poorly written. So time to let go of this one finally. Now this one isn't because I don't like it. I'm gonna unhaul this copy of Persuasion by Jane Austen. This was like one I bought at a charity shop for like one pound and I now have the copies of Mansfield Park, Pride and Prejudice and Emma in, hang on, let me grab one of them. In these editions which I love, I love these editions so much. So once I have read these three I will probably just end up buying Persuasion in the edition so that they all match.  So yeah, it's kind of similar to Lidl Chronicles. If I ever want this book again, I will buy a different edition basically. One of these I've read and one of them I haven't. The one I read I did give four stars but I just don't really feel any need to hold onto it. They are Americana and Half of the Yellow Sun by Trumandan Nogosi Edici. I've read Americana, I did give it four stars. I haven't read Half of the Yellow Sun. I don't really feel the need to. I know Trumandan Nogosi Edici has made some like controversial comments on I think gender and like cancel culture. We don't need to get into that whole like is cancel culture even real topic or whatever. And I haven't, if I'm honest I haven't read into the opinions like fully to see to give you an opinion on them myself because I didn't want to anger myself. Like with stuff like that, I have started to just try and find a balance between educating myself on these topics and not damaging my own mental health to find out these things. So I just don't feel any need to hold onto these. I bought them again for like one pound, two pound at a charity shop. So it's not like I'm losing loads of money by unhauling these. I just don't feel the need to hold onto them anymore. How many have we unhauled? One, two, three, four, five, six. 23. That is not correct. Oh my god, we've done 23. Okay, I think now I'm gonna unhaul a few from my TBR because I know there's probably seven on my TBR that I'm no longer interested in reading that I bought a long, long time ago. So let me go find them. I don't know if we'll actually be quite seven. Okay. Okay, so well, half of the other side was one, but there's only four more that I actually want to unhaul from my TBR. First, we've got Cube by Christina Doucher. I could not even tell you what this book is about. It's by the author of Vox. My mum has read both of them. I haven't read either of them. This is hers. I'm just gonna give this back to her. I didn't buy this. I'm just gonna put it back in the other room by unhauling it. I'm just taking it off my TBR. Sorry, my nose is so itchy. It's like a feminist dystopian sci-fi thing. I just don't have any interest. Then I'm gonna unhaul Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. I did DNF this. I think I read like 50 pages or something like that. And it was just too much for me. This book is holding a really weird way. I don't even know the plot anymore. I know it's like about a bomber. Maybe I'm never gonna read this. I have no interest in reading it. I don't care. I've talked about this a bit, but when I first got into reading, I went to a lot of second-hand bookshops and I bought books like this that are classics or really popular that I thought like, oh, I have to read that. I have to read Catch 22.  Like, I have no interest in you. So, bye. And then these two are ones that have been on my TBR forever. And again, I don't know anything about them. I think they're both ones that my mum has read and she's given me. So, I'll either, I'll ask her shorts to keep them. She might even want to keep them, to be honest. The Wall by John Lancaster and Warlight by Michael Ondace. This one's set in 1945 in London. I know that. But I don't really know anything about it other than that. And I cannot tell you what this one's about. So, I have just, I'm never gonna read them. I have no interest in reading them. Might as well just take them off my TBR. Oh my God, this is so hard. I've got three left.  Three, I need to unhaul three more books. If I could unhaul one from here, it would be helpful because, because that's where I need space. I think I have to do it. Okay, I'm gonna unhaul a few villains. I don't, part of me doesn't want to do it. But I hated it. So, like, why am I holding on to it? I'm sorry, Riley. I always feel so thankful for you getting this from me. I don't want to unhaul it. I don't want to unhaul it. Well, what you want to do is not necessarily what you're going to do. Okay, we're unhauling a few villains. I hope I've counted this right. Do I want to unhaul Ask the Passengers by AS King? Not really. Two more books. Two more books. That is really hard to do. I'm gonna get rid of The Untethered Soul by Michael A Singer. This is, like, a self-help spiritualism book. I like yoga, so I like to read books that are, like, really popular amongst yoga people. But this was just a bit too spiritual. I didn't like it. I didn't like it. I think I gave it, like, two stars. And I read it, like, years ago. I'm never gonna read it again. One more! This is so hard. But I do love seeing the amount of space that has appeared on my shelves.  Okay, this has been hard. But the last one I'm gonna unhaul is Milkshakes for the Almost Dead by Lulu Wood. I enjoyed this when I read it, but again, I can't remember much about it. And just looking at my other contemporaries on that shelf, because I think I do need a bit more contemporary space as well. This is just one that I don't, like, feel anything towards. And it's quite a big one, so I just feel like it makes sense to unhaul and put back into the world and someone else can read. Because I think this is like a, like a, this book isn't read as much. So I feel like it's actually better for this book to put it back into circulation and, like, someone to pick it up and read it. So that's my last one. I think, I hope. Let me, like, stack these up properly and count them. Honey, you've got a big storm coming. No! Oh no. I need to unhaul one more. Okay, um, okay, last one. I'm just gonna go ahead and unhaul a Monster Calls by Patrick Ness, because I do have the illustrated copy. Again, this one was gifted to me, so I'm sorry. Oh, that's okay. I just have two copies. I may, I think instead of, like, giving this to the charity shop in terms of unhauling, I think I'll just give this to my brother. So it's gonna stay in the house, but I'm counting it as unhauling because it's coming off my shelves. Now we've actually done 30 books. That was hard. I'm not gonna extend it to 40. I'll try and do more. 30 was hard. 30 was hard enough. But I have now got a bit more room on my shelves, which I'm really happy about. If I do end up selling any of these, not ones that I've been gifted, I will put my de-pop link down below. And that is end of this video. I hope you enjoyed it. I feel a bit emotionally scarred from trying to unhaul 30 books, but hey-ho. It's done, it's done. And make sure you check out Besmo as well. The link for that will be in the description, or you can just search it on the App Store. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. I need to go lie down in a dark room and recover. I'll see you soon in another video.
