  1. Another amazing battle report, always fantastic to see Shaggy and his Ultramarines. Kinda sad that there wasn't any Tyrannic War Veterans in this one, it would have been very fitting. Also, now I have some Victrix Guard that I have to paint.

  2. Great battle report, beautiful looking armies, terrain looks good, solid camera work – and yo can use transman in assault – the first sentence says use this stratagem in any phase. keep up the great work guys, all the best from Oz.

  3. Shaggy has to be my favourite Ultramarine player. It's refreshing to see someone know my favourite army's rules and options inside out, and he's so humble and smart. Love him.

  4. Maybe think about adding a squad of Zoanthropes & dropping some Steelers. They're harder to kill and hold ObSec better. Also if you could find a way to add some rippers for early/late game ObSec deployment it would have changed the game.

  5. Great video with some amazing paint. My friend has had a lot of success against our group by splinting his melee nids into a kraken detachment and the shooting nids into kronos detachment might be worth considering for the next BR.

  6. As always a great battle, and once again, those rolls! Love the detail on the ultramarines, actual squad numbers on the shoulders pads is not something you see, plus the sargeants being from a higher company – the only thing wrong was Vitrix Guard should be first company! Great to see a 'nid list with shooting as a focus, not something you see often. Thanks for the great batrep.

  7. Completely agree about the Victrix the should have standard stormshields like everyone else. As to ultramarine strats yea they are great.
    But I also realized what a one trick pony my Ravenguard is.. the strats apart from 2 deployment ones are pretty meh
