Thanks again for the kind words, I'm glad piloting the giants was fun. I think maybe some blue warpaint on their foreheads may be in order if you intend on landing many 'eadbutts in the future though ;)

I've enjoyed your Gargant series, and I find the Space Weirdos intriguing.

Is that you doing the voice, Chpperz1?

First comment here to say... Keep on! Nevertheless, I expect this time luck is with you! Yes, I write while still watching!

Blue is the best, you are definitely right :D Glad the advice was useful... can't apologise for dice though.

Love the Sons of Behemat. Great Job Chipperz

Not sure if you know about the balance update but knights now don’t start on the board they enter on your turn 2 movement phase

Death by Masonry is crazy

Hell of a mission, old chap! Looks like you've upset the dice gods. Have you considered sacrificing a deck of cards and a dozen poker chips? Also, what leads a guy to buy an entire cauldron of bats? I'm having trouble getting enough aliens and adventurers.

These additional rules are brutal. I love them!

It'll be fine... foreshadowing!! I love the videos, keep it up!

On the other hand, keep the good work!

When you say "things are horribly wrong" I feel it is only going to get worse!! HAHAHAHA

The Varg'r ate my homework?

I played the exact same matchup last night and mine went very differently. I won't say as to not spoil this batrep for anyone. Gargants are the Spearhead I use most, and the most effective things I have found for them is to keep the two standard giants together, literally touching bases side by side. That way, no matter where they get charged from, they are each close enough to activate against the enemy. So whichever unit charges the giants then has to face down 2 of them bellowing, stuffing into pants and twice as many attacks as just a single one. Also, interestingly I don't go for foe chompers but the strikes last regiment ability. I don't feel like I need foe chompers due to the fact they reinforce anyway. If I lose a Giant, I can just bring it back in a more advantageous position and give it another chance to charge in and provide strikes last. And the other thing I do different is not choose the double bag-stuffing for the general because it is not as good as it looks - it has to be used on two different units. And if your general is in combat with 2 units at the same time? Chances are he is dead regardless of how many bags he has. The new paintjobs look awesome on the Gargants by the way. The handprint idea is great.

Thanks for that! Good idea on the warpaint.

That looks like cloth to me pal, not wood... just saying :P

Absolutely wild! Great fire fight!

10:11 you say the boss can't be knocked back. I thought if you were forced into another figure they both got a stun token and the struck figure moved an inch back. Random movement page 42. 23:00 Janette and Justice (Rx 3 and 4) fire at the Specialist, but the Specialist hasn't taken his turn in the Enemy activation phase (unless they have exceptionally fast reflexes). Finally, I don't allow tracking targets that have fired turn to turn in low visibility scenarios. IRL they are muzzle flashes not continuous fire. It's why you use grenades and bayonets in night fighting. If the figure has an appropriate sight I may let them track a target. Tracker Sight, Unity Battle Sight, or Battle Visor come to mind.

Thank you for pointing out how hard it was to figure out how difficult mathing is regarding placement of the reinforcement markers. How far do you place the starting forces onto the board? It can be 9". I typically try 6" unless it puts me closer to an objective that lets me insta win the game. 20:50 Frag Vest is 6+ save.

So you're keeping Justice? Why not use Stars of the Story "Looked worse than it was"? You could let Justice go. So what he's crippled and the planet is about to get invaded. 20 Cr and 5 turns Just seems like a "Did you ever meet my mate!" especially since you have so few CT left.

One question @chipperz1! Where did you get your vehicles? Are they 3D printed? Thanks!

Nice video! Trapped and deadly!

Beasts go after the nearest target and they will attack the same target, but Hanna has the speed to just kite them and draw them to her allies. The melee really made this a nail biter.

Aliens.

Ok I'm crazy but I keep hearing, "Exterminate! Exterminate!"

Earth...the sea of Okhotsk in the middle of the winter with the KGB navy telling us we were in a missile test range. That was a hell planet. Everything was so cold that our breath condensed and there was an inch of water on the deck in the berthing spaces. Ice all over the outside of the ship. Etc.

Your first Battlefield Event...at the end of every turn one enemy gets to act again at random? I don't think you did that throughout the game? :(

Maaaaybe the orruks were forewarned, and the "poison" is holy water they managed to liberate from the local church?

Wrong stats on used killerboss no scare taktikz first round

14:25 no all units use their abilities at the start of the combat phase no need to wait for them to be able to attack… the whole Orruk army can use its scare tactics it’s eye biter ash the murk knob banner and its waagh before the enemy can choose a unit to fight. It’s a very strong ability that if they don’t use then they are really just being wasted as an army

Cheers. This sounds like brilliant fun.

Good stuff, glad to see the Transporter taking affect nicely. Hopefully the rolls for it keep a'comin and we see a lot more mid-fight transporter beacons going off :D

Nice. Makes me want to start running 5PH again. Void Bastards really don't seem to have much in the way of brains. They should have left the planet 10 Campaign Turns ago.

Imagine this happening early on in your run. I know I have said this before but reaction speed is critical for controlling the battlespace. I notice that you don't use Snap Fire very much. The times I have played (not many). I developed a "sniper" early on. Improved combat stat and reactions stat. Plus anything that got them to higher ground quickly. Game changer.

Are you using Easy difficulty? You say you are giving MVP XP each Post Battle Report. Is that the extra XP awarded for Easy difficulty?

Instead of running in close go vertical. You have lots of connex containers to climb. Gives you better line of sight and the runners have to climb to get you.

Hi

Great bat rep. We need more SoB spearhead content on KZbin. Every giant gets to do the -1 hit bellow each turn, not just the one. Definitely helps them to survive!

Absolutely when you are happy makes the video better - your enjoyment is contagious! I might suggest painting the gargants so they have more contrast from behind, since they always seem to be facing away from the camera. I know we're not here for the paint-jobs, but this might be a simple touch up? Or have the gargants facing the camera for a change? Looking forwards to your next game! (PS: how DARE you barrack for anyone but the gargants?! For shame! 😋 )

I could have sworn you got frak grenades at least twice. Why isn't Zak using them at the end to take out the hold out?

Zack has PTSD and is drowning his sorrows at the local cantina. Also with everyone thinking of settling down he is wondering if he really will be achieving his goal of "Freedom" for his people.

Specializing is helpful. Ariana is going to be clutch. Plus you can use her to repair all those broken bits of kit you have picked up. I know I am late to the party but I really have to suggest that you spend some points on reaction. One person with a 3 is great, but you really need some more 2s to give your team more flexibility. Another good reason to spread the xp is campaign events and bad luck in combat may just force you to work without your "best" units.

Welcome back! Hope you had a good Crimbo. Good game also, loved the 'Feeling Confident' bit :P Get anything good for Crimbo?

Thanks again for your episodes! I love your engagement and enthusiasm.

Space Naztees! Oh man, they are always everywhere it seems. Lol Have a fantastic 2025. On a future episode, please let us know a little bit of your vision for the channel, like what you plant to continue and what new things you plan to try out. All the very best success in your every endeavor! Howdy from East Texas!!! PS. I get the feeling that Singh lives with deep regret over orders he knows he should have never followed, perhaps orders that resulted in the abandonment of a crew that looked up to him, and he has spent every minute after that trying to atone by living an exemplary conscience driven life.

Prawns are in District 9. Great movie.

Thanks for another session of 5PFH!

Yay the Gargants!

Nice video! A video tripod is going to make recording these way easier for you so you’re not having to do everything with one hand 😂. Also are you looking at any new spearhead armies to get?
