Great game! Love this format!
I would love for there to be more ‘re-enactment’ battles or set of missions but then again I’m also a historical war gamer who loves just making up a scenarios
OOOOOOO i wonder if we wll see any SWL games in the future!
Golden Q-tip gun
1:02:00 You cannot attack a unit you didn't declare, meaning the greater possessed was not able to swing into those plasma scions. If you did declare them, you would have failed the charge originally when you didn't get into engagement range after the charge move. Also I am not sure why Josh didn't emergency evacuate his scions, sure they die on 1's and 2's but that strat also gives you a 6" disembarkation range, it basically was introduced in order to stop that exact play of wrap, trap and wrecking transports full of guys.
Q-Tip soldiers.
Either Josh or the Word Bearers are making these Scions look very competitive. Terrifying.
Brilliant Bat Rep! Really enjoyed watching this one
Great battle report, love the Scions. Thanks for sharing.
Melts guns… duh
'This isn't going the way I hoped.': The refrain of all guard players in 9th edition. Thanks for playing guard nevertheless Josh. You give all of us hope.
Scions against chaos space Marines while they still only have one wound and the strategism "vengeance for cadia". Makes a CSM win an uphill battle everytime. That grenade wiping away the whole command squad does show the incredible weakness of the scions.
Does luka ever measure his movement?
MWG – you guys really should spend some amount of time making the tables look good. Scatter terrain, loose rocks, something. Your a pro channel and your tables look like you spent 2 minutes on them. It's a shame to spend the time on the models but not put them on a table that doesn't bring the battle to life. Love to see the Scions, thanks.
fucking erebus
Hey luka, if I'm not mistaken I believe the contemtor dreadnought got tweaked. They're no longer bs and ws 2+ as per imperial armour now. They're 3+ but atleast they don't degrade in stats.
As soon as this game came up null zone I think it became an uphill battle for Luka, getting to take the turn second and a Calidus assassin in the opponents list and AP-3 pretty much across the board for the scions makes this an exceptionally difficult battle to win regardless of what list any puts together. That’s a tough, hard fight there for Luka, good effort.
Null Zone twist is super garbage. We house ruled that card out as it can be super oppressive against armies like Grey Knights and the like.
EDIT: oops, already mentioned in a comment.
9th edition doesn't allow you to blunt your close combat attacks in the fight phase. For example; if you have a power sword, you HAVE to use the power sword instead of the "I don't have weapons so I'll punch it" close combat weapons.
Missile launchers. Duuh🥴
What minis does Josh use for his Scions, they look great!
When I saw the Erebus model I struggled to contain my rage. #getup
Worst game I’ve ever watched luka. Redemption required
I love watching the Scions. I will watch any Battle Report with those bois. Also, Rolling Death Strategem only works on Taurox and not Taurox Prime models. Unfortunately, the Taurox Prime does not have the "Taurox" keyword, it has "Taurox Prime" instead.
Love to see the daemonic supersoldiers get absolutely bullied by regular humans :P.
I would love to see like the storage area we're all the armys are think that would be a cool video , and they look like missile launcher josh 😄
Also glad to see you back in bartreps missed the beard
Thanks for the bat rep, still nice! Be careful, now in 9th edition you have no choice to fight with melee weapons you have. You couldn't fight the taurox with hands using no weapons to keep it alive.
