  1. Hi guys, good game. I know you said its been awhile since you played Heresy, so gentle reminder in Heresy you can only kill whats in range of the weapon being used so your praetor being the only thing in range of the melta at 49 minutes saved on his invuln so you wouldn't have lost that one wound terminator πŸ™‚

  2. creeping death rite of war stil allows you to make advance rolls. you are thinking of the reaping which does not allow that. also the grave wardens have fireing protocols 2, which means they get to shoot there flamers and there assault grenade launchers and than stil charge with relentless.

  3. Nice one. Ive nissed the HH reports.
    Agree with above. The new missions being 4 turns with obj markers and static secondaries are so much more fun and fluid.
    No castling at the back for the first few turns abd taco units actually get heart of the legion active more often

  4. Interesting builds and very pretty armies.
    I think you misspelled β€œKyr Vhalen” in the intro though…
    Which also proves I’m not naughty enough to risk skipping it!

  5. Beautiful armies as always (bonus points for how good those smoke effects look, they're blazing infernos!), good ending to the game. I must ask Mr Stevie about the treads on his Land Raiders, they really caught my eye and afaik not the standard ones, are they standard from the old resin kit or converted/printed?

  6. Don't know if it's been answered already, but why do you think Siege Tyrants ignore cover? πŸ€” If you refer on the Omni-Scope, that only ignores the effects of Night Fighting, so Cover and Shroud saves are still a thing… ✌🏼

  7. Iron warriors are a very broken army. They really need a revised main rule. +1 str vs vehicles is way to strong in this armour system. If u play against iron warriors just leave vehicles at home and the iron warriors lost their benefit.

  8. Right about saving this for the flight on Thursday to LA, but couldn't resist. One thing Tyrants don't negate evade as the Omni Scope is not bought vision it "one model with an omni-scope ignores all the effects of Night Fighting". So you don't care about night fight but it won't screw an opponents evade.

  9. Each HH batrep makes me wish I could live in Gibraltar.
    Edit: I still think that Vets/Terminators/Breachers should have the option to choose either Fury or Spite of the Legion. Assaults of course Spite of the Legion.

  10. Big fan of raising the stakes on Slay the Warlord for unique characters. I know any time my opponent puts one down, the rest of hte objectives go out the window. Nothing else my army could possibly accomplish is going to matter more in grand scheme the war effort than killing another legion's first captain.
