@MidwinterMinis

4 жыл бұрын

Thank you Alberto! Yeah, this one was action packed, eh? :)

Love these little batreps. Here’s some clarifications that may make your games more enjoyable: if a unit charges, it can still pile in and attack and consolidate. So you can’t actually pull termagants out to keep your orks out of combat unless it leaves them over 4” away and they cant reach with a pile in (you can still pile in 3”). Then Consolidate another 3” (you get both of these movements even if you kill a unit and other chargers didnt get to activate against that unit yet). You still get all of your attacks for your squad after the Nob killed the termies too because they are part of the same squad. Super smite is 11+ and all Smites go against the closest enemy unit. You can only choose a Smite target if two potential targets are equidistant from your psyker. And don’t forget, your psyker gets pluses for being next to boys, I think. Hope this helps. Keep em coming! (Great paint jobs as usual!) You both had fun and it made the video fun to watch.

Love the fun lists and small game size! Keep up the battle reports! Rules notes: At 7:40 you can't deny attacks from the same unit for removing casualties. This is because at step 3 (before rolling any dice) you choose targets and once you've chosen targets you get to make those attacks regardless of casualties that may be taken away. (NOTE: you can deny attacks from a different unit this way. just not from the same unit) At 9:40 the wierdboy smites. Smite Always targets the closest target so it would have hit either the genestealers or termigaunts not the broodlord. (there are other powers which can target specific units)

Love the way the the Battle Report is made, everything is well described and detailed, but I'd like to go over some parts of this match that would be considered mistakes by the book, for anyone who would be interested and maybe for the players themselves. Bear in mind that this match could have some "homebrewed" ruling that wasn't explained or other rules agreements between the players, and that I am also aware of this. - 7:40 The ork "out of range" after the Power Klaw attacks could still fight in the Genestealers because the attacks are declared and counted for the whole unit at the same time, not a model at a time. - 9:42 Smite targets the closest visible unit, so it couldn't target the Broodlord. - 10:05 The smite was -1 to cast so the roll was an 8, the Broodlord got a 9 on deny, which is over the 8 and should've denied. - 15:36 Smite deals D6 mortal wounds on a charge of more than 10, not 10+ - 18:10 The orks coming out of the destroyed Trukk should've taken a casualties on 1s, rolling a d6 per model that survived the disembark. - 18:24 The Termagants could've been selected to attack because they charged. That would've let them pile in and consolidate towards the surviving orks, but not attack them as the Burna Boys could not have been declared as a charge target. - 23:10 Again, the Burna Boy and Weird Boy would've been able to be selected to fight because they charged; And for the same reason the Boys woud've been able to fight even when out of 1"

@@Kingboy Against the Genestealers it wouldn't have worked, because the Boss Knob was in the same unit as the Boyz, so they'd all attack at the same time. Against the Termagants it would have worked, because the Burner Boy wasn't in the same unit as the Boyz. Also note that after you choose what to attack with, you pile in, then you choose targets. So if even one the the Boyz was within an inch of a Termagant, they'd be able to be chosen as a unit to fight and they'd have 3 inches to work with to get some Boyz in range. AND if another unit was closer to some of those Boyz you could actually pile in some models toward that other unit. You just have to move each model closer to the closest model when piling in, it doesn't have to be toward the unit the attacking unit is already within an inch of because you choose targets after piling in. However, units that charged in the turn cannot target a unit they didn't charge in that turn. After the attack you can consolidate up to 3 inches which again has to be closer to the nearest enemy model. This can put you into melee range of a unit that wasn't in range before, which can have the downside of opening combat with a unit that wasn't in combat previously, but has the upside of being capable of locking them out of shooting if they can't kill enough enemies to disengage from combat. It's all quite nice to know if you're using Hormagants rather than Genestealers. While Genestealers are generally more deadly, Hormagants can slip through defenses to tie up shooters and sometimes dodge some overwatch fire that Genestealers would have to worry about, due to having 6 inches for piling in and consolidating. Again, you can pile in on a unit you didn't charge, if it's closer to your models, you just can't declare an attack on it. Or I guess now you can give your Genestealer's Adrenal Webs instead of taking a Warlord trait and let them consolidate 2D6 instead of 3. Holy hell.

Yeah! It's one of the Savage Orruks from AOS. They're slightly bigger than their 40k counterparts, so look just right with a few little additions :)

@@MidwinterMinis Nice! Right, off to make some weirdboys :-D

Great batrep! These 500 point games are real fun - also the narration you present the game. I would love to see batreps more often on your channel.

Great format, first battle report in a while that actually made me excited to play, and not get bored looking at the dice and shaky cam. Thanks!

Great battle report loved it but I thought that smite had to target the closet unit when your weird boy targeted the brude lord 🙂

it does. guy and ant messed up a few rules (like breaking melee in the middle of the fight), but the game was still entertaining.

Also correct me if I am wrong but Guy rolled a 9, but because of the broodlord's shadow ability, it's actually an 8, so the counter should have worked with 9

Never in my life have I ever played Warhammer 40k, other than Space Hulk: Deathwing. I have no clue what's going on, but it's still incredibly entertaining

Did you play on one or two kill team boards for this game. Been playing kill team since it came out but havent played 40k since 2004 and only want to play 500 pt games. But need to know a good battle mat size to go for.

@MidwinterMinis

4 жыл бұрын

We played on a 6x4 mat, but cordoned off 12" at each edge making it a 4x4 area, which seems a good size for 500 point games.

Great battle report. Not excessively long. No unnecessary footage. Well done. Keep 'em coming! ...and Subscribed!

I've recently returned to the hobby after a 16 year break and this video is amazing. You explain everything so clearly it is really helping me understand the rules again. On top of that it's an awesome example of a battle. Can't wait to watch more like this!!

Can I give you money to help you make more of these? Seriously, so good.

I assume you're using the new rules, right? If so, are the new rules easier to handle and remember than the previous set of rules? How do Psykers work in the new version (Psykers were one of my favorite units to play).

We're playing 8th edition, but it gets updated all the time with little micro-updates. Purely optional of course, especially in non-competitive, non-tournament games :)

Loincloths are totally OP in this edition.

We actually do it simultaneously, one narrates while the other actually plays their round, keeps the vibe and excitement in the narration right :)
