Yes!
I’m so early that Lorgar is still loyal!
Yes lads – looking forward to this one
there rumor going around pardo going to make horus lupercal so he can call him the king. and wants to make whole army of luna wolves
That happened to me in my fist game of 2.0. Failed leadership rolled an 11 lost my decked out 20 man tactical squad. Leadership is everything in this game.
If you fail a charge roll, don't you still get to surge move?
Mr Pardo I tried returning your email but it came back undeliverable mate, all other emails have been received by other recipients so it appears to be something your end….didn't want you to think I was being rude.
Loving all the HH reports, enjoying it way more than 40k at the moment.,
how funny of Mr Pardo to actually field IW! Such a good sport! And such beautifully painted minis! #jelly #forLorgar
Hi guys, great battle reports as ever just a quick rules note!
You are resolving the Quad Mortars incorrectly. When a unit fires more than one weapon with the barrage keyword you use the rules for multiple barrages, this means the second shot you only use the scatter dice for as it must be placed next to and touching the first template in the direction of the scatter dice. If you then roll a hit you can place the second template so that it touches any part of the template already placed.
Good game! Always remember that tyrants ignore night fighting!! They are awesome
Great game lads! Mhara Gals blow up D6 plus 6"..could have hit more I think?
I love you guys, but I am struggling with HH I don't play and have no wish too. It holds very little interest for me. Will wait for more 40K
As fluffy as power mauls are for word bearers, they feel really misplaced when you want a character to be able to stand up to things like terminators.
Really enjoyable game chaps. I’ve been enjoying your HH batreps, and the fun is definitely in the recordings.
Could I make a suggestion to remember the rerolls to failed armour saves that ‘heavy’ units get. I think there were a couple of wounds that didn’t necessarily need to be in that match.
My two favorite legions duking it out! Dont know who to root for! (Its DC cause im a traitor at heart) 🙂
Also, having been on the receiving end of some Iron Havocs is why I never leave home without a Telepathy Librarian Centurian
Great game guys rooting for a fellow word bearers win, awesome entertainment as ever. Love you’re HH content at the moment as I’m taking a break from 40K for now, plus love building, painting & playing HH at the moment (definitely picked the right legion in word bearers). Awesome looking armies on the tabletop 👌🏻
For corrupted units, don't they just take wounds instead of failing pinning/morale checks?
Absolutely great game lads, never a dull time with WB in the docket. Random question to DC, how do you paint your WB reds?
Sooooo fu*** good!!!
Ah yes, the legendary Battle of the Rolled Ones
How com artificer armour in 30k does soooo well but in 40k the dark elder archon 2 up invuln fails first time every time lol
Such great looking models! Really making HH look fantastic!
WARRIORS COME OUT PLAY YEA 🥹🥹🥹
What are y’all using to make your army lists? I’m planning to play my SoH first company when I get the new Horus model.
One day you'll remeber the surge move when you fail a charge XD
How comes when the seige termies charged in they got so many attacks? Three of them died before they could strike?
People talked down on them, but when I returned to 30k from 9th Ed 40K I really found myself enjoying template weapons so much more. Templates are one of my favorite parts of Heresy.
Another great HH report! Great stuff.
Question: are the buildings pre-painted & where are they from?
Be good, JJ
Morale matters again it seems!
Ooo one i forgot to mention, when DC was dropping the blasts on the termies, did you remember you could re-roll saves? not sure if any actually took any wounds.
Just a heads up on the Mhara gal Dread, when it blows up, it does D6+6 for explosion range, so on a roll of a 6, it would be 12 inches.
I noticed last game too vs the Imperial Fists but unfortunately the Mhara Gal needs to be kept away from your Word Bearers models or it weakens them
Great, great and great!
Great batrep, really enjoyed it. I've only played 2 games of 2.0 so far, why did so many people sell their 30k armies instead of storing them? 😂 half the players in my area starting new armies from scratch 🤷🏻♂️
Finally! Some Word Bearers! Heroes of the Warp!
Great stuff boys, your battle report put a smile on my face.
Great game enjoyed it
The fact you DC ingnored fact that reactions exist is bloody frustruting he could win with eays
I like those buildings. I had the same idea in mind for Prospero but painted white.
Great battle, armies are amazingly painted. My only problem, both armies didn't die. DAMN HERETICS!
