I don't think you are able to reload plasma guns
Edit: well you can if you have the munitioner skill
That's a great call! It's scarce! We totally skipped over that. Going to pin this one so folks know!
@@MiniatureGameMontage its the best chance against van saar plasma lists. i once had a van saar gang with 3 plasmas out of ammo. was so fun to butcher them in CC :D
@@grantmills2557 Unfortunatly plasmas are near only tools that really work for to counter other gangs.
But the the scarse is harsh rule
Not even with munitioneer, you just get to roll out your ammo test twice if its in the 6" bubble, but once its out, its out.
@@Le_Petit_Lapin Only way you can reload plasma in the game is if you have certain Vansaar Tactics card' the maps has plasma flasks or pipes. Thre might have been others but those are more rare terrain bonuses.
Escher: "Please run away, you've only 2 meatheads left!"
Goliath: "lol, no"
😂
@@MiniatureGameMontage I think I commented on it before, but your necromunda terrain is absolutely class mate!
@@Le_Petit_Lapin thanks! Always a work in process.
Damn, when those meatheads aren't convinced that they should leave, no one is going to convince them. Great match!
They leave only on their terms! 😂
Really seemed like a one sided game in favour of the Escher girls. But if there’s one thing that Goliaths do best it’s sticking around even when the odds are against them. Great game 👍🏻
Thanks! 🙂
The goliaths are close combat monsters, when one of their big guys connect with an enemy model they deal ludicrous amounts of overkill. But then they got to get there first. This game has a lot more open spaces and a big "town square" in the center.
Really enjoyed this. The Escher were on fire early on with some great rolls. Always the way when you’re facing Goliath though, gotta get those objectives else you’re gonna flee before them.
Just played Parley Showdown from Cinderak Burning and can highly recommend for a fun and quite narrative version of a Gang Fight. Starting with four fighters with no ranged weapons is tactical chess and then reinforcements with their guns adds another element to think about.
Nice! Thanks for watching. I'll have to check out the Parley Showdown.
Whoa what a great game! Really enjoyed it. At first was rooting for Esher because of their earlier losses but changed to Goliath when they started losing. I'm pretty sure Esher started off so strong because they were gathered up and able to focus fire on one or two Goliath at a time because they were spread out. But the tables turned. What a good game lol
Ton of fun to play! We were frantically rolling dice at the end. On the edge!
What an amazing batrep!
Thank you. I knew it was going to make a for a good one as we had an awesome time.
Loved this format. Just some pals having a laugh cut in with the news…brilliant looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks! 🙂
Wow.. Great batrep! Really thought escher had that one but the Goliaths hung in there. Well played. Respect!
It was close! Ton of fun because we had no idea what was going to happen.
Definitely ranks in my top 10 of yalls necromunda batreps.
Awesome game fellows. Keep up the great content.
@@jamiemoresco3885 🥳🎉
Good battle report and really good to see a classic match up!
great video was not expecting the ending
Escher gangs are gnarly when they don't overfous on their poison gimmick. Getting people with poison takes a few more steps than simply pointing a plasma gun or a cheap lasgun at them.
Something as simple as five gangers with hotshot lasguns can do a lot of work in the early games I find.
@@MrDracoSpirit I can't remember if you could get hellguns at the settlements in older Necromunda. I'm sure people who wanted to could just grab any 2nd ed weapon and drop it in. They could find boltguns so why not. Just decide what rarity and credit cost a hellgun has. Even a basic lasgun has armour pen 1 and can knock people out. Their ammo roll means they'll keep firing through most skirmishes.
The gangs in old Necromunda had much less distinct gimmicks, and I'm not entirely sure what "builds" people use in the new game. Everyone just started from identical positions in the basic game. But when I got to try, the lasgun or autogun was still the good ol' basic standby. Apparently cheaper lasguns was an Escher thing, and Orlocks have cheaper flak and autoguns or something.
@@SusCalvin Nearly every gang should start with 5 guys/girls with autoguns/lasguns tbh... but with the House of books they've really tried to give everyone a bias in there wargear to give the different the gangs more identity. Escher gangs tend to be full of lasguns and poisons, but they have decent access to plasma, flamers and chain weapons too.
@@MrDracoSpirit Old Necromunda got more wild with Outlanders. New Necromunda hasn't introduced something like the extremely front-loaded Spyrers yet. The Arbites gang just bypassed the entire economy system and strutted around in carapace. Those two really allowed you to break previous core principles of Necromunda.
Let's go!
Awesome as usual! :)
Cheers, Ken!
Awesome game!
Thanks man
Great game as always. I did not expect the Goliath gang to be able to pull out that win.
You and me both!
Wow, 11 turns! Hahaha, not messing around at all. Phew, close tun thing at the end. All those failed cool tests just stomped them at the end. Obviously need to remember their sunglasses next time. Great bat Rep as always!
Thanks, friend!
Ha! Take that T4 models!
The little people will rise up!
🤣 Plasma don't care.
Another excellent battrep. One Minor gripe though - plasma guns have scarce trait and are impossible to reload without skills like munitioneer etc.
Correct! Just a weird miss on my part.
@mkozinski Still cant reload with munitioneer - you can reroll your ammo test on a fail if in the 6" bubble, but of you fail the second roll also a scarce weapon is still out of ammo for the game. You would need something like a ganger with the Van Saar Tech Skill "Weaponsmith" to remove Scarce from the plasma gun. Alternatively if playing a campaign with alliances, an alliance with the Promethium Guild lets you remove scarce on plasma weapons and blaze weapons.
I dont think theres any other way of getting around it.
Hail all
Hail!
Hail!
Hail!
Really fun battlerep! That scenario looks really really tough. Moving all the way across the battlefield to plant a spy device on EACH corner and the center? In the middle of a firefight? XD
You can deploy along the entire side of a board edge so technically you can get 2 quickly. I decided to deploy all in one blob. It was a lot of fun.
Fantastic game! I was rooting for that Goliath grenade launcher to reload and fire a shot in anger... Instead it turned out to be a great narrative twist, with the Escher bailing out as soon as they saw the GL get back into business!
Lol! He’s a scary dude up there.
Aoucht!!! i fell sorry for the escher house...
Yeah...a 4+ cool and a waiting game. I guess that shows what can be done if you can just force the other gang to bottle.
Unfortunate that esher made so many misplays like the plasma gun not supposed to reload unless you can get rid of the scarce trait and the obvious spy device but still fun to see two models holding on against basicly the entire team. Lol
Oh snap that ending!
Yeah… 😕
Munda yeah
Great report as always, nice to see the girls doing well... in the first half, anyway! How horribly did that turn around at the end?
Question: do you have any video tutorial up on how paint do your tiles and walls? I love the simple but effective astetic.
Thanks, friend. Good hearing from you. Check this one out. It’s really easy! I add a little underhive ash to the tiles that’s the only difference.

@@MiniatureGameMontage Great, I'll check it out for sure!
Great BR as always, just little question, did they changed phelynx credits price? (last time i checked they costed 50 each) or is a house rule to have pets cheaper?
They are 50 credits per the House of Blades. The tactics card, Wyld Hunt, allowed them to be recruited for battle for free.
Another great BR but there is a question that bugs me .... Why do you roll a separate roll for your knockback? I thought it was if the hit roll exceeded the targets strength it was automatically knocked back?
Blast weapons have a separate roll for knock back. Regular weapons you are correct. Thanks for watching!
Question, where do you get your terrain? I Love this map!
This board is more official ZM terrain with some 3d prints. I discuss it in this video. :) czcams.com/video/cXFw0qADqgQ/video.html Let me know if you have any questions.
@@MiniatureGameMontage Thank you very much
Escher have a bit of a weakspot when it comes to bottle rolls, which is one of the reasons why I always aim to be able to run ten girls every game, through it seems you guys run a low cred style of game that test budgets!
Yeah I’m just a sucker for toys 😂
I enjoyed that. Gotta love Escher.
It's funny, but in history particularly during the time of musket and shot, there are many accounts of battles where one side won simply because they stuck around. It's fully possible to take devestating losses, be surrounded, cut off, etc etc, but as long as everyone keeps their cool and keeps fighting, the other guy can lose despite massive advantages.
That said, Goliath got bloody lucky with all those cool checks. I know they have a much better cool than other gangs, but you always assume there will be a few outliers when rolling. That chain bottle at the end was a sad moment for Escher, especially when that ganger was so close to the objective. That was a nasty loss, especially for such a high level of commitment.
Well said! Thanks for watching.
Bro!!!!!! you'd think your cool check would get worse if you have just 2 fighters left!!! Escher should have won that one
Also you should do a paint guide for the terrain!
Agreed!
@@Marlerc11 Here you go, bud. I got that request a lot so I did. It's really easy. czcams.com/video/MFYPvF4ruak/video.html
