    Excellent stuff - just one thing, if you bring a QUAKE Cannon, please fire it last because it has one of the most hilarious rules: It makes deadly demise happen on a 3+ on destroyed targets. Seeing an exploding Knight in the middle of that fortress would have been such a great cinematic scene. Still big entertainment, many thanks for all the great work!

    Maybe track casualties during turn 1, and remove them at the end of the turn; allowing both players to get a one round of shooting at full strength?

    This was absolutely a glorious battle report. I usually don't enjoy such one-sided carnage, but this was special. I guess because the side that won this one was the one I thought would be pulverized into the ground by turn 4.
    Truly a Merry Christmas. Thanks winters, sultan and everyone else who watches these battle reports and makes them happen.

    What a great present for me this morning. (Edited follows) What a great victory for the Guard! We won't talk about the air wing's performance, though. Lovely narrative, lovely armies. I actually felt a little sorry for Chaos, but I used a hand flamer on my sense of pity and it went away. It looks like the game was an absolute blast . . . and that's really what it's about, innit?

    Only halfway through this, but it's one of the best in a while! One note regarding hazardous, in 10th, you only need to make a single role person weapon fired. No more making hazard rolls for each individual shot. If one gun shot (no matter how many shots) you make one roll. Super friendly for things with Blast like a Macro Plasma Incincerator.

    @xXKyledkXx Před 8 měsíci

    A piece of line of sight blocking terrain in the center of the board would give guard the choice of "do I move up and maximize number of targets, or do I stay in place and maximize accuracy against those visible. It prevents turn 1 shooting of the board, and a central piece to pivot your armies around, neither player could afford to just hide behind it the whole time, there would be some play for table position, not just who shoots first.

  • @zHawkC
    @zHawkC Před 8 měsíci +1

    I love both you guys but this was a firing range not a batrep. Never seen a game before where one player should skip their own turns because they're so pointless.
    Maybe you should've let one destroyed chaos model come back onto the board each turn? Was looking forward to seeing what those knights could do in close combat until turn 1 happened. Not moving anything turn 1 in a narrative game felt kinda toxic as you had first turn by default. Finally I'm glad winters had fun, but what world was he in that a few squads of plague marines had a chance to survive against a tank batallion?!
    Sultan you never played your admech :( poor guys are sitting on a shelf forgotton about and being tortured by the games workshop rule makers. As they're my only army it makes me sad.
    Sorry to be a debbie downer, hope you both had a lovely christmas!
