Slips Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Perturabo has the innate ability to deepstrike himself and a Terminator squad hes strapped to T1 if I'm not mistaken. Havent watched the vid yet but from what I gather, Steve didnt do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent watched the vid yet but from what I gather, Steve didnt do that? Nope, had him foot slog with some Tyrants. I wish he had ran the RoW that let's you shoot artillery near your friendlies as the deep striking terminators plus the arty would've worked well in conjunction. Perty just shot some gribblies and dropped a bombardment I think. Kind of a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats it so far :p Ironically...the storm cannon kills more terminators and models than the grav bombard :D Also, it winds up being his key unit that does amazing all game.

Slips Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 He wouldve probably done more damage by being dropped onto all of Steves infantry and essentially turning his backfield into paste. And if Steve did go ahead with dropping his termies around the Leviathan in that scenario, even better for Tom since they would have been waaaaay too far from his lines at that point no matter the outcome. But man, those 4+ invulns... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But man, those 4+ invulns... Yeah behind the rapiers and Havocs would've been prime, though the Levi might have to tangle with Perty then. Though it'd probably have gotten it's job done then.

depthcharge12 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 I cringed when Steve sent his 20 man blob against Curze and a few raptors >.< He could have just fury of the legion'd them off the board. I'm gonna chalk that one up to learning pains, but still...charging a primarch with anything short of 2 contemptors or 10 terminators is pure suicide.

ThatOneMarshal Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 How many games have they had so far? I know they are new to a lot of this but when they play games for a job I kinda hope they put the time into it. Most of them have been playing 40k for years, which may contribute to all the messed rules but they also have a fundamental basis for the rules. How was the Night Lords list like? Was it a standard terror assualt? Kinda hope it's unique, deptcharge was right we need for unique night lords lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 All I remember from his list was two squads of raptors, Curze, a terror squad, and a Sicaran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaky Brigade Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 It's actually only the one squad of raptors and 3 terror squads, the 2nd one seemed a bit rushed, Steve mentioned in one of his vault videos (sit and talk I think) that he had recorded one HH battle report a long time ago (presumably the ultramarines one) and needed to schedule a second one for the vault, as they always release them in twos. It was funny seeing the Night Lords being defenders in the 'suicide mission' scenario as it seemed very out of character for them, though they did recognise this and act appropriately. I think each of the MWG staff has only played a handful of 30k battle reports each so far, yes they are 'professional' wargame players but they do have to stay current with several different game systems at once.

Excessus Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 It is their job though...they should be able to stay current with several game systems if they are serious about their job. I mean, how many can they be? 40k, Infinity, warmahordes, AoS...so about four? And a lot of the things they do wrongly is in the standard 7th ed rulebook and not in the 30k books...and it haven't been updated for a long time now!

Slips Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 They also have Star Wars and any of the custom games/campaigns they do but yyyeeeaaahh.. they should reference the books more in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm great, but I do a lot of banter. Halfway through the game I'd sound like Reece from FLG :P my voice starts to sound like a cigar chewing navy seal as it gets hoarse.

Newtoncain Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Like their bat reps but it is hit or miss to subscribe for 30k vbrs. Some times they get the rules right and other times it seems like "hay we need to make a video today" = rules, what rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 They are still the most regular channel for quality content. The videos and production are definitely getting better, the studios make a big difference. I love Steve's Iron Warriors army... I just don't like Steve :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
