Great game but the thought of cleaning up that gravel afterwards was giving me nightmares! Never write scripts.
What a truly epic game! What a comeback from Beard! I was absolutely certain after turn 2 that Bone had this one in the bag.
What an epic Game
Epic stuff! Love games like that.
What a game! Go on the lady beard, Sisters are very cool with the Miracle dice rules.
hahaha very EPIC ?
sisters dex such an improvement on the beta, really great fun rules ??
Could be cheeky!
Wow what a fun game! I can’t get enough. Quality entertainment, can we see a narrative mission with the sister at some point?
Great video, great game! Lovely banter and great dynamics 🙂
OMG twistier then an M Night Shyamalan plot. Awesome Batrep (as always!!!)
Wow new Iron Warriors toys, and whole new revamped plastic sisters. The red gobbo has brought Beard Christmas early!
I would like to add in that while my response in a thread below is rather critical of this Battle Report and how it went, the most important part is that you are all so entertaining to watch. I know I would really like to see the interactions of everyone playing an Apocalypse game. Though that game would be like an 8 hour recording, it would be great. Do it for the fans, do it for Grotty!!!!
Great Bat Rep (so many rules forgotten / wrongly understood though but won’t beat you up too much its a difficult codex to handle for the first time!). Some insulting roles from BBone there 😉
Absolutely loved this game guys. Mistakes and all this was a wonderful game to watch!
Bone don’t worry about moving your chaos marines off the objective on turn four; Tactical Cascade is literally designed to cause errors just by the sheer weight of rules you need to be thinking about to score your table-full of cards.
Seriously great game. Showed off the new rules while letting both armies shine. Love the sisters beard. Glad you hung onto them as your loyalty and faith have been rewarded!
If I played an imperium army, it would be sisters, that army is so unique, and with the new book, I see different fun ways of playing them now. That lone sister blasting off two oblits is what makes this game so great haha. And damn does abaddon wrecks face, especially imperium units, the number of attacks is insane (as it should).
Great game chaps, it was a real nailbiter this one.
I’m so happy how the Sisters are turning out to be… I think I’ll enjoy palying with them very much!
As other pointed out, I believe you use Miracle dices before rolling, but all the same it was a nice game.
Thank you all!
Beard was often rolling the dice then substituting a miracle dice after the roll as needed. That’s unfortunately not how it works..
The rule is you can choose a miracle dice INSTEAD of making the roll – an important distinction!
I thought Decimator’s degraded?
“…. I’m a lady beard”
*SPOILER*
Good battle guys, well fought. I agree with Bone not wanting to take the victory points for supremacy. Get on ze point!
Awesome game, this is why we house ruled games must be played through to the end because i thought Beard was out of it and look what happened!!!
The most important thing to take from this battle report imo is to welcome neophyte Brother Lawrence Baker to the Flesh Tearers. Don’t mind the orphaned body parts lying about the place, and never you pay any attention to malicious rumours about guardsmen with their blood drained, or that we sometimes think they’re heretics as well (it’s their own damned fault for standing in front of our swinging chainswords). They’re malicious rumours I tell you. Also, great game gents. I feel torn whenever I see Beard and Chaos, on one hand I want to see Beard actually do well for… Read more »
Bone’s expression around 10:05 is like, “Vindicare”?, “Vindicare”?,”Vindicare”? Is that a Knight I don’t know? Beard must be crazy to ally in Assassins…
I imagine Abaddon catching Celestine by the throat as she swoops in and just slamming her into the ruins, then turning Drach’nyen on the Gemini whos completely distracted by seeing her boss just get face-beefed into a concrete wall.
Marvelous
ITS HAPPENING
Great batrep guys! Please don’t beat yourself up too much BBone, we all appreciate you so much and you do great work on the channel!
Do the Geminis only intercept once damage is rolled? Wouldn’t they intercept 2 of the 4 wound rolls and than damage rolled, same as tau drones?
Great game lads! I am SO incredibly excited to see the sisters of battle back on the channel! Beard, don’t forget to add +1 to your hit roll when you lose a model from a unit! Otherwise (aside from what else was mentioned) it was a blast to watch, I can’t wait to see more of your army!
Loved seeing rules as intended played on Beard’s deny the witch stratagem vs the WAAAC thousand suns smite everything even though it’s impossible vs the Ravenwing recently. Can’t tell if that just my Dark Angels bias though!
All in all a great game gents!
Don’t you DARE start scripting. You’re already perfect.
That was good guys, gotta say though. Usually with a new codex there’s 3 of you up to speed on it. Beard seemed like the only one to really have studied the book in any way though Lawrence clearly had a look. Didn’t feel like it was up to your usual high standards.
Does this mean we don’t get a vox cast on sisters now?
Love love love seeing the sisters in action. so incredibly excited for them. besides all the mistakes that everyone else has been pointing out, i loved it. completely convinced bone was singlehandedly giving beard the one-two knockout but boy was i wrong! Can’t wait to see more sisters and hopefully GW treats y’all and sends those new units to you asap (like way before we can use them). Beard, this is your army through and through, but you’ll have to share and give the other boyz a shot with them… for the right price of course! You all are my… Read more »
Couple more things:
You can’t replace a dice you’ve already rolled with a miracle die, you need to use the miracle die before doing the roll.
Is Beard going to choose / roll for any Sacred Rights at any point?
I’ve only just started but I’ve spotted a couple of Sisters mistakes.
The Litanies of Faith relic does not grant any miracle dice, it just lets you re-roll one when you get it.
Unfortunately Celestine’s aura no longer increases the Shield of Faith save of vehicles, it only affects infantry now.
Which mat is this? Looked at gamemat, can´t seem to find it – looks great!
Truly an incredible match!
Kind of hard following how to gain MD though?, it’s just one per phase or as units you kill?…
Anyways, loved to see the sisters in action with the new rules … even if we didn’t see a lot of stratagems.
Next game would be nice if we can see some of the new units that are in the book!, I’m quite interested in see the difference between the Mortifier and then penitence engine.
Besides that, excellent game ^^!
“I think sometimes we should script these”
“it’s like washing your socks. If you don’t do it your feet will get cold”
Are you guys telling me this isn’t scripted?
???
At the 2 hour mark bone did a smite with the daemon prince, which beard denied to score an objective. however it was the second smite that turn requiring a warp charge of 6 (5 was rolled) so he couldnt have denied and gotten the victory point.
YES BEARD!! Faith is rewarded!! Praise the Emperor!! Love it! Can’t wait to get my copy on the 29th! ^_^ What do you guys think of Argent Shroud being able to Advance and fire as if they hadn’t? It strikes me you could have a really fast moving army that still put out massive dakka. Especially since Retributors can move and fire heavy weapons now :O It’s like I said at heat 4, I’m already going “awww if I’d had that…>.<" Lol Great to meet you guys there btw, but it occured to me I'm 6' tall and was looking… Read more »
I thought you had to declare a miracle dice before you rolled?
Great report though!
Don’t worry Bone, I made the same mistake in multiball and lost the game by 1 point by moving off the double point objective by accident in a charge, my mates wont let me live it down but at least we aren’t alone in our rookie mistakes. Yet another awesome Bat Rep though to get me ready for my service to the emperor today.
Watching the pregame explanation of the new rules, I was so excited. Miracle dice are an interesting mechanic, as you guys stated, “it’s not a command reroll”, since it has to be used before you’d roll with the guaranteed value rolled before hand. I’d been looking forward to see the strategic element of this. Then I started watching and seeing it used as a guaranteed reroll, which is so much stronger, consistently throughout the game (even for rolls like number of shots), it really ruined it for me. Several times I rolled the video back, to make sure I understood… Read more »
What a gentlemen game – so nice to see!
Some constructive observations Beard, I think you missed a LOT of miracle dice! You can get more a phase for different things when you have Martyred Lady. Also, I THINK you can´t use a miracle dice for a dice that has already been rolled?
Can´t wait to see more of the Sisters!
Awwwww yeah!! Some Sisters action for my breakfast!! The order of the Shattered Blade is with you Beard!! For the Emperor!!
Holy Saint Katherine, I couldn’t wait to watch this one ! Thanks lads ! Batrep’s over. It was a blast to watch, kudos to you ! We need more Sisters batrep ! 🙂 Doctrine and Sacred Rites are what’s make these a V9 (V8.2, however you wanna call it) Codex. Be on the lookout for a new/consolidated version of Warhammer 40k around June 2020, but do not expect new codices before that date. There are going to be the Psychic Awakening books, but that’s it. Video’s already out, but Miracle Dice are more like the Destinity Dice of Disciple of… Read more »
YEEEEEEEEESS!!! My faith is so hard right now!!!
….. Wait a minute, that came out wrong
