Intro is legendary, love it.
You should have just said after saying “what is Zone Mortalis?” It’s simply one of the best ways to play Horus Heresy and the easiest way to get into heresy!
I just love Zone Mortalis!
This seems like the game to play if you want something like kill team but with dreadnaughts and close combat.
Yeah, it's glorious.
I believe when the rules are referencing fliers and flying MCs entering ZM it's talking about having a small ZM area in a standard game.
Glad this came out as I'm building up World Eaters for my 1st dip into 30k. Legion specific lists would be great for future vids, not even necessarily long either, just a 1000pt list and brief explanation as to why. 👍
Dude you got me into 30k, cheers for your videos. :)
Only 20k more to go. Congrats.
Best Intro you have ever done!!! Congrats mate, onward and upwards
The salt part... brilliant
I've never played ZM and it's the thing I want to play most of all. IDC if it's 30k or 40k I just want it.
Congrats on 10k
Loved this
Congratulations on 10k
Death Guard chem munitions FTW! especially on the all around flamer boxy boy.
Awesome! I've been wanting to try zone mortalis. It looks like way more fun than kill team and it's overly restrictive rules for the traitor legions. This was very helpful.
Wow, great video. I've been wanting to use ZM to get going with 30k. Would love more ZM tactica from the channel; this was great. Cheers.
I don't really agree with your assertion that there's much of a choice to be made with terminators for ZM... I think Tartaros are the clear winners. When the board is covered in walls, mobility is really important. 6" doesn't get you very far once you've navigated a few corners and you often won't have anyone to shoot at anyway. The board may be smaller, but unless you have a nice straight walk to the enemy you're going to spend a lot of time wishing you could run. Also Cataphractii can't fire overwatch, so can't benefit from the reaction fire rule either. There is a choice to make if you're going to deep strike, but even then, you will probably only get to fight one enemy unit before you're out of the game due to how easy it is for the enemy to just run away. Finding a good target near an objective is the best bet but even then you have to get the teleport homer into the danger zone first. I would however fully abandon this point of view when talking about legion terminators... Fulmentarus or tyrant siege are so powerful in shooting in a confined space I'd happily overlook just about any restriction they have.
I'd also like to add that I'd always take a contemptor cortus in ZM... their weaknesses are rubbish side armour and only a frontal inv save against shooting... not so much of an issue if you're in a corridor with walls covering your flanks. Small games mean the points saving feels bigger. WS4 is a shame, but if you trigger rage the extra attack helps make that up. I usually take at least one with a chainfist and dccw. Weapon upgrades in the fists are fun but frankly not worth the points most of the time. I'd rather spend 150pts on this fella than 190 for a proper contemptor when in my experience they either do well or die to a melta bomb regardless of whether it's a cortus or not. Box dreads with a flamestorm cannon definitely get an honourable mention until they get krak grenaded off the table in a heartbeat.
One last thing, quad mortars aren't out of the question... it simply says that barrage weapons cannot be used to fire indirectly; you can therefore still use them directly like a normal blast weapon. Not super worthwhile imo but there you go. The master of signals can still technically use his ability too, but I'd say it's pretty dumb from a fluff perspective so any good even organiser should disallow it.
Oh, and great video. I love to hear your take on the game.
The original good intro
Thank you!!!!
solar auxilias lasrifle units is coming in numbers of twenty and you need a lasrifle for every flamers units, so solar axulia has a really limited range of choose
Need a updated video on ZM please!!!
I dunno about the assessment on the servo-automata. for 80 points you get 8 flamers on the table, now with shread. Not a bad deal IMO.
Real vigilators wear scout armor
Congratulations on the subs! Apologies if I’ve missed something, I’ve just started in Horus Heresy, do Word Bearers have special terminators? Cheers!
They do not. However, they do have the Gal Vorbak which can fullfil a similar role, as well as the Ashen Circle and Mhara Gal tainted Dreadnought.
should totally be abl;e to take termites in ZM :D
No flying monstrous creatures? Then additional rules for flying MC's doesn't that just mean summon me? I can still use my old metal blood thirsters on 60mm bases right?
I would be interested in your thoughts/recommendation on how to build a ZM board. The latest Necromunda box is beyond my threshold of pain ($300 US, can’t imaging the cost in Australia).
3D printer and thingiverse can get everything
I know this comment is a bit late, but check out some of ttcombat's stuff, some pretty cheap MDF terrain with good detail
Seekers are an auto include for me in ZM
They are amazing
@@natewilliams6617 BS5 scoring and cheap combi guns? What's not to love.
What size squads are you using?
Hilariously Deathguard flamers are as strong as Salamanders in ZM
so..... there’s nothing saying I can’t take a vindicator?
Andy Fox “no vehicles of any kind except for walkers”
Mike MartinezCarusone
“No vehicles other than Walkers may be
chosen, unless their models are no more
than 4" wide.*”
Also it states that barrage weapons can be used but only direct fire
Off the top of my head a Vindicators is wider than 4" from front to back, so no.
I now imagine a vindicator dropping out of a dreadclaw during a boarding action...
