This one was one of my favourite batreps! And specially since I'm a DG player
Everyone channel has been doing death guard battle reports and they’ve won everyone so far. Wish u would have used a more competitive blood angels list
Isn't Domination scored at the end of the player turn
Luka rocking the Phyrexian Tattoo! so cool
42:40 I feel like you have to go with the death company into the death newer first. Thats what I think… I guess we'll see.
Assuming you guys are house ruling faction terrain? As GW's FAQs state that they can't be set up within 3" of existing terrain pieces, making the furnace unplayable on any decent board
I think Morty did what he's meant to which is be the biggest baddest thing on the board and force your opponent to dump everything into him to kill it or ignore it entirely. either way the opponent looses.
Hey, can you tell me how the hills terrain company is spelly or show me a link? I don't get the name quite correctly yet and have a hard time finding it
and you cant have any other psykers if mortarion is in your army
Death Guard seem super OP at the minute. Especially Mortarion. From a lore point of view making a Primarch nearly unkillable makes sense. On the tabletop for 490 points it doesn’t though.
My goodness, heck of a game!
First turn charge you should have used Adaptive strategy in your command phase on your terminators and use angels sacrifice on your librarian dreadnought in your fight phase, forcing all of Mortarions attacks on your dreadnought. Then your Terminators can survive and attack on full strength
1:26:52 that’s a save
Mortarion gonne hit with the nerf bat very hard in the next 6 months
great report, can you do a a score sheet during the game?
Wow DG are freaking overpowered now…. even if someone doesnt play Blood Angels like a total noob…
Love it when the last marine in a squad refuses to die lol
Well done attacking the drone rather than morarion, it was honestly the best choice
What should have happened is you brought some units with lascannons than shoot mortarian without any negatives from the back of the board
Guys. Can you give points 'total' between rounds? Please?
Man, the new Disgustingly Resilient looks more frustrating to play against than the old one.
So you said one per detachments on lords? So if I'm running two detachments I can take two? Or one per army?
you cant place terrain within 3" of other terrain.
https://www.goonhammer.com/hammer-of-math-killing-mortarion/ Here is a mathhammer showing how many effort needs to kill Mortarion. Even a fully decked up Warlord Titan will have more than 30% chance failing to kill Morarion. Remember how we scream "Ironhand Leviathan Dreadnought is so OP tough" a year ago? The same Warlord Titan actually would only failed to finish it in one round 13% of the time. Morty is almost 3 times as tough as the "too OP Leviathan Dread". Morty seems should cost 600pts not 490pts.
43 mins in, yes attack drone IMO. Also I think this is a huge uphill battle for BA, I think knowing miasma is up, run and gun and keep reserves in space till miasma is failed or denied. Also allows stretching out DG then gor for backfield obj. Play the mission? Thats my initial thoughts cause at first look I was like, morty is about to grape his face off…
https://youtu.be/q7147kRskJo.
lol I was like did morty just die on turn one not paying attention
If you want to see how to run a proper Blood Angels list against DG and Mortarion, check out Blood Angels Commander from 2 weeks ago:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwgA1w73d18
His Blood Angels lists are excellent, and he knows how to use them.
MWG videos are for fun and seeing well-painted armies, but they are NOT videos to watch for beginners to learn strategy from, even if Luka is very knowledgable.
The lists are not competitive or even competent half the time because they are basically product placement for new models or models that aren't seeing a lot of use. When there is a new hot army whose codex has dropped, they are more likely to bring out the strong stuff to show it off, but when they do, you can bet your last dollar that the other side won't be bringing its A game. Case in point. Blood Angels v. Salamanders video another case in point….
So, think of MWG videos as a GW showroom floor, not a master class in gameplay.
Not sure if it changed in the new codex, but the fleshmower is a plague weapon in the old codex, so you should have been able to re-roll the wounds in the first round fight phase to kill off that squad.
Did the BA forget shock assault when the poxwalkers charged them around 49:00 ?
Well this felt like a "new codex" clickbait "battle".
How much Cp points do Blood angels have with this list when starting round 1? and how do i calculate it?.
I’m a death guard player. I have a custom nurgle model, some poxwalkers and marines.
What else should I add to that list (I have the Dar Imperium starter set)?
Your game table had me thinking
“TROGDOR!!” The entire time lol. I know they weren’t actually thatched roof cottages but they were very medieval in comparison to the armies
Oh man that Dante conversion
How Plague Marines could take 2x blicht launchers and 2x plasma?! When i try to do this in battlescribe i am getting error…
"I like change for the sake of change"-nurgle player……. Wut
Love the new deathguard especially the update for the plague marines this is everything I've ever wanted for deathguard
Interesting, from this and other bat reps it sure looks like the new DG is very difficult to beat. Perhaps a little too difficult. Makes you wonder if that's the thing with GW and new models, make them OP to get sales, then dial them back for balance… and release something new that's OP at release.
Is that even a legal DG list? Thought you couldn't take more units of Poxwalkers than Plague marines?
