1:01:43 smite requires the target to be visible to the caster correct?
nice to see that coronavirus does not exist where this was filmed
I was excited for this game untill I saw guillman if your gonna use a firstborn captian please have some more actual firstborn in the list
Im new to tabletop, so it was a first for me seeing this glorious nids heavy artillery blasting gravis to kingdom come, great game! Learning a lot from this channel!
I think the apothecary is fine, I used them before the greatness and they always let me down. I just hope I get to play a game with one before they get nerfed.
Great bat rep gents, excellent content ππ»
Fyi. Pathogenic Slime can be declared after you see how many wounds make it through.
So a question i would like to ask is. What trait allows you to automatically wound on sixes? for the ultramarines?
I'm a new player that's still trying to figure out the game.
You do not use acid maws of genestealers? Why? They are free and are stable -3AP instead of random -1/-4 and you can have 3 per squad of 12.
This nid list looks sick AF but Iβm pulling for DC and his beautiful Ultramarines π€π»
Sometimes I wish yβall would just play the game rather than crying about what you perceive as broken
honestly a well played tyranids battle. rare to see! cheers to pardo and shaggy. i love the ultras as well and am taking notes for both
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.
Does look out sir works for guilliman if there were only two guys around?
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.
I've used Kronos because Tyranids are better at shooting at the moment, brings nearly 80 Genestealers and 3 shooting units?
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.
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.
What's a Tyrann-nian? π
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.
Love that Tyranid colour scheme. Great video. Lovely work gentlemen! π§ββοΈ
I love the "First turn, I fired everything I had at their Hive guard" story.
The Airbrushed Ultramarines always end up looking more like Altdorf Guard then Macragge blue.
The Exocrine's adaptive physiology "Dermic Symbiosis" means only on 3 wounds left would it go down its first bracket
Great to see Shaggy AKA The True Chapter Master of the Boys in Blue playing! Steven great guns good to see you arenβt skipping arm day!

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.
Is it 4++ on the guards
Well done, SN BatReps! You guys are the best!!!
Brilliant as always!
Great battle report, as always!
WOW!!! Pardo played Tyranids?? No Space Marines?? 2020 I guess… LOL!
Why does Guilliman only fires 3 shots in tactical doctrine? Great rep bye the way π
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
Great game boys. Classic match up. I need me some exocrines mr pardo.
Why did need to watch the video to know that the Ultramarines won.
Mordian Glory needs to be at Legends
no gene stealers should remain 1w but be d3 on the claws and d2 on talons base
Damn I just bought a lot of 20ish genestelaers and I was having doubts but your list saved me the trouble ahah
Great game guys!! What a wrecking ball is that victrix, Guilliman and the apothecary. So good!! Keep up doing such a great job. Wanting to see the DA and DG on the table.
