Why Katie!!!
Was that grotty I saw near the deathmarks?
I’m guessing Imotekh’s imagined stomach had the rumblies, that only hands can satisfy…I enjoyed this battle report, and this reference.
Fun match gang! Also oof, remember when poor Imotekh was good?…. way back in 5th-6th xD. So many of the named necron characters are just tragically pants
Super fun battle report, really entertaining!
Ophydians get 2 additional attacks each for their claws, they have such a full on data sheet it’s easy to miss.
favorite moment….”PANTS”
Super fun batrep
That is the most amazing BT army I’ve every seen.
BTW Jinx, really good game for your first time using the Astartes. If the luck wasn’t so one-sided, you would have had him.
No Land Raider Crusaders, no Sword Brethren, no proper bikes or assault marines, no Emperor’s Champion…I hope you don’t turn all the new BT units into Dragons, then the BT will just be another vanilla Primaris list with Helbrecht and 5 . Primaris have 2 melee units, both footslogging. BT are like BA, they need firstborn units if they want to play as their actual chapter.
Really fun game guys! Chef and Jinx, your presenting was on point this match. Thoroughly enjoyed it (though Jinx I’m sorry your sanity had to break halfway through as a result)
How on earth dose Helbrect end up being strong with more attacks then most HQs in the game. His sweep attacks have more that a grand master dread knight !
He’s a beast
Each time Miss Jinx says “pal” a dice roll in the room that should be a stunning success turns into a sore whiff, and vice-versa. If only she’d know how to use her power to her advantage. Could she be the anti-Lawrence, the warp-dissonance luck wielder??
Great batrep! Nice to see a bit more of a varied list with the Necrons, it’s a shame that the Expansionist/Conquerors custom dynasty seems to be the only way they’re played in competition so its refreshing to see them run in other ways. I’m a big fan of the Ophydians and even without the bonus claw attacks they were doing some damage! Do you guys have any Tomb Blades? I feel like they’re a good fit for a Sautekh army being able to drop buckets of Gauss fire from a safer distance and being core, are eligible for My Will… Read more »
The rules summary on the back page for the Uphold vow specifically states that it only ignores the ‘benefits’ of light and heavy cover. So this is the right way to play it as written too.
Me: Oh boy can’t wait to finally get datacards with my templars!
-opens card pack-
No Litanies card… -_-
INIATE EXTERMINATUS!
I’m so glad you went with the narrative of Helbrecht vs Imotekh !
Batreps with Chef are my favourite 👌🏻😎
In the back of the codex supplement, it states that its light and heavy cover not dense 🙂
15 mins into the video and im forced to comment on how you got to JIF but didnt get the immediate connection to a JIF Lemon and delicious pancakes….for shame!
I want to see you guys pick up a black templar force for the channel so badly.
Why was chef making 20 shots with the gaus flyer array? I was understanding it is rapid fire 5 not rapid fire 10 or did I miss something
Nice batrep as always – even more seeing Chef playing Necrons 🙂
As I was thinking about starting Necrons and adding the Ophydian Destroyers
Wouldn’t you have 2 extra attacks with their claws or did I just miss it?
Wait, was this the mental health video?
You guys get me on a deeper level . . .
Nice batrep as usual team! Jinx your dice rolls were heinously bad. I like to think they’ll balance out another game and you’ll stomp your opponent.
Also, are Heavy Intercessors the most useless primaris unit (besides reivers of course)? I’ve never seen them do much on the table.
I really like the fact that there’s negatives to go with the benefits. All traits you can chose should have a downside. Not so much as to make it worse for you; just enough to mean you need to think about your choice. It adds balance. Great game, as ever, also. Jinx is doing a great job with learning different factions. I recently played 8 games in 8 days mainly with Custodes, but also with Necrons, to help get my local league up & running. Despite me being very comfortable with Custodes I ran different lists (nasty ones for people… Read more »
Beard you swine! Deleting the outtakes!
God i wish Chef would have had Szarekh when he was asked if he knew what rights he had. He has the right…..to remain silent “qeue sunglasses and guitar solos”
Great game! As soon as the music you choose for the intro started my Heavy metal soul began roaring the name of the Emperor so yeah, maybe I should dive deeper into the Black Templars. My Iron Hands are starting to look uncofortable with their black armor, their pauldron so easy to get painted in white……but no, I have to stay strong!
Can sicarans be used for imperial loyalists (?)For meany years i only seen Beard use them for his Iron warriors 🙂
Lol is that a nurgling in the background?
Oooooooh baaaaby! Just got back from walking my dog. Not only do I get an alert saying TT posted a new vid with my boys in black, but also I come home to find my preorder BTs have also arrived. Best afternoon incoming!!
The recurring Theme with Jinx seems to be DESTROY EVERYTHING 🌋
Perfect for a 2hr train to Cheltenham!
There is a section in the Designer’s Notes for Obscuring and Dense terrain that I think answers that question. Would it not also work the same as the Necron Solar Pulse? I’ve interpreted it as like the whole army is hit with a Solar Pulse.
From the bottom section of it
“Also note that any rule that ignores the benefits of cover, or that ignores the benefits of cover that impose a penalty on hit rolls, would still ignore that penalty.”
Rules quibbling aside…I am excited for this game. Go Necrons!
Yasss what a saturday, literally the 2 armies I collect, looking forward to this 1
Nice! Excited to be the first 🙂
