Ultramarines vs Thousand Sons 2000pts | Warhammer 40,000 8th Ed Battle Report

Great battle report! These ones that come down to the wire like this are so gripping to watch! I have a fledgling Thousand Sons army and watching these reports for inspiration is a great amount of fun. Seeing Magnus take the field is always awesome, and I do hope that he does get a “x wounds taken per phase maximum” type rule so that he is not immediately deleted on the first turn. Slight note on Astral Blast; from the wording of the power it seems to me that the secondary effect of 1 mortal wound to units within 3″… Read more »

I lile that with each day things are getting little bit wierder ?

Top view is sick! One suggestion—time-lapse for the movement phase, to show movement quickly along with giving some info on the decision-making process.

The only thing Magnus did wrong was get over excited in warning the Emperor of Hirus’ betrayal.
As for Magnus Vs Girlyman (right at the start of this batrep guys,) if Magnus drops Girlyman he does not get back up as you change him to a spawn. But if the Primarch of the Ultramarines goes first, he should drop The Demon Prince of the Thousand sons!
Fingers crossed for Magnus.

I’m only halfway through the battle report, but Lawrence did you re roll any ones within 12 on Guilliman?

Hi guys, awesome game expertly demo’d as usual, love the froth between you two makes for great entertainment – big fan all things Guilliman so the clash of the titans was epic – thx everso for keeping the fun going during lockdown, hope all u guys doin ok

Completely agree with Bone about putting wound per phase limits on the Daemon Primarch’s. I’d also consider putting them on the Greater Daemons too, if they don’t just buff them to be roughly analogous to Imperial/Chaos Knights anyway. The flip side is that I do sort of feel like it’s a stop gap solution because shooting seems too powerful though; which because they have reduced the effectiveness of cover I believe is true, but I think that would require some serious reworking of the core rules though. Or they could just roll the cities of death cover rules (I think)… Read more »

So you seem to keep running very similar Ultramarines lists, and there’s no newer Primaris goodies there (i.e. Phobos). Are you planning on expanding your Ultramarine army to include these, or is this investment going into the Obsidian Dragons?

I’d love to see an Ultramarines list with some forward pressure from Vanguard units and walkers, and some mobility from Impulsors, to see what they can do with it. Ultramarines in Tactical seems to favour a mobile, reactive play style, and I think the newer releases can work with that.

Thoughts?

The fight between Magnus and Big-G was epic, thats why I love this game so much. I will always prefere ”nomal” play over ITC competitive play for this reason. You just don’t have those awesome moments as often in those imo.

Epic showdown! Fantastic game as always. I’ve been running guilliman in a fun way recently. Guilliman Tiggy with veil of time and might of heroes Cassius with canticle and exhortation of rage Vitrix honor guard Primaris apothecary Primaris ancient with standard of macraage inviolate And a battalion So basically how it works is Cassius prays for canticle (+2 to charge) and puts exploding 6s on guilliman (exhortation) Tiggy casts veil and might on guilliman and the apothecary honor guard and ancient are in a repulsor tracking up behind him. When he hits combat and if everything is in place Guilliman… Read more »

Awesome game, thank you guys!

So glad the Brothers worked it out the best way they knew how, that was mandatory!. 😉
P.S. Cheeky fresh set of cabinets for future expansion in the background?

Bone, you are right! In Earthsea knowing the true name of something grants unlimited power over it! One of my favourite series ever. Now, you just have to mention Morgaine of “The Gate of Ivrel” (maybe the next time you field a Noctilith Crown) and I’ll swear unending love to you.

That tash is looking pretty thick there BBone…could go down the Dixon Bainbridge route if you wanted…just saying.

What a magnificent game. I expected one moment Mr. Bone to go on an evil laughter twisting his moustache, while Mr. Baker summons flame from his hand.

One of the most entertaining ones I have watched from you. Thanks!
