Great batrep! 😊
A new Nid video AND I get to go to Warhammer Fest tomorrow ? The hype doesn't stop.
Great Vid as always….just a thought however the mat is a bit to busy for a 2 hr battle report it tiers your eyes. Otherwise great work.
Lets hope 10th will be more fun because you see the codex creep and then they take away an early codex rule which really breaks an army who needed it to survive in this broken edition.
What's the point of Inner Circle ability now? You auto pass morale and you cant fall back unless you roll good? Wow such a awesome ability. Good job GW on over nerfing as usual. Regardless great batrep guys! Awesome board and amazingly done armies!
Such a shame termies are weak… they should be really mini dreadnoughts 😢
I think that Deathwing should’ve kept a baby-transhuman like the Black Templars. Now they are just worse than BT termies.
ahh Lion El' Lannister, it's good to see you
Loved the Napoleon strategy reference, going to have to dig my Sharpe DVDs out of the loft now
Yeah, that was grim…absolutely beautiful models though, gentlemen.
1:23:02 For the Dark Angels player – when choosing profile for Lion’s attacks statistically 22 attacks at D2 and 11 attacks at D4 is the same thing if there are no damage modifiers. Then ask yourself if there any other differences in stats – yes, wounding with 22 attacks on 5s or 11 attacks on 3s. Herein lies the answer what is actually better.
Wow wow wow the Dark Angels player is such a cry baby. The faction had no business with Transhuman Physiology for all their Terminators.
I can see the way winds blowing on this one
I swear, for just once, I'd like to see a dark angels army that has some element of greenwing. I feel like they should rename the faction "Deathwing/Ravenwing". On a positive note, killer paint job on that Primarch.
Love the game — two questions — knowing that your damaged was halved on terminators charging a carnifex with an interrupt, why not Fury of the First to land more hits with reroll ones? Also if not, why not only in death with the champion
Amen Phil, the competitive scene has routinely ruined a great deal of awesome abilities and units because of their overuse in "spammy" armies. That filters down to the silent majority playing 40K with constant balancing and tweaking. I feel bad for the members in our community whose only source of 40K play is with competitive types. That said, it is a beautiful army and well played. Those Carnifex were designed to open up terminators.
get the 100k!
I liked this battle report, and your SS82 BRs in general, but two criticisms: 1) most of the time the DA players dice were too far away and too hard to read (I like to follow the dice as they're rolled), and 2) the DA player himself was a little hard to hear. Maybe turn that mic up a couple of notches the next time?
Love watching these battles, but some of these tactical choices make me think you hate your Swarmlord, lol. Remember, Swarmlord doesn't care about glory, or fighting fair. He also doesn't lead from the front. Remember when the Avatar of Khaine challenged him? Instead of answering, he just sent waves of carnifexes at the Avatar. Swarmlord calculates the best odds of success at the lowest risk, which is almost the direct opposite of what you've done at every turn, lol.
Also: Death Frenzy!!!
Fun game tho!
1:59:00 The Lion doesn't fight first, because also the Screamer Killer does so, as it charged in…
