Hey guys this is our last pre-recorded video before the latest Faq. Thanks for watching ^_^
Hyped to see the void dragon on the table. Got me very scared for those lovely dreadnoughts.
Did you roll for reanimation on the scarabs
Do the powers count as psyker abilities? All Custodes have a 6+++ in the psychic phase.
Great game! We finally got to see the Necrons done right!
Great battle! Just here to leave the obligatory "reanimate scarabs" comment. Looking forward to seeing The Silent King soon too – such a cool model!
Really unlucky there, Tom. But I don't think bikes would've been the solution. The Necron list was almost perfect for beating Custodes. Don't know if I would have done anything differently. It's a tough one, in hindsight you may be could've tried baiting the C'Tan with your dreadnoughts (big sacrifice, I know); lead him away & then use the rest of your forces to deal with his HQ's & infantry. But I don't know any player that would've thought to sacrifice their Telemon like that. All in all I don't think there was much you could've done.
Oh, the Necron player used CP rerolls on mortal wounds, which I'm pretty sure you can't do. It's only on wound rolls, not mortal wounds. But I don't think it made much difference.
Should've saved my comment until I heard the post match discussion. I 100% disagree with what they're saying about bikes (unless they make the lances +2 strength); but they are dead on about marching the Allarus up the board & say, "bring it" (I'd say your whole army if there wasn't a C'tan). They are far more efficient than the bikes, especially with axes.
Thanks guys. I’m still a fledgling 40k player. I started with blood angels but made the mistake of starting the Necrons from the Indomitus box and have fallen headfirst into that army. Great BatRep and I really appreciate your style and discussion. Learned a TON here!
Another fun batrep, thank you guys and keep it up!!!
(don't worry Tom you'll have better luck next time!)
It has been a while since I have seen your channel. I almost forgot about this gem of a Chanel. YouTube has not been kind to you when it comes to notifications or recommendations. I am subscribed. Thanks for posting such nice content since I was away.
Nice to see the void dragon, it looks rad af. Custodes bro bases look rad, love that lava effect
Great battle report guys really impressive showing by the Necrons and show that custodians are not immortals lol
