Fun battle report! I love the focus on narrative, and I love the units taking their moves 'early' to simulate simultaneous fire and movement etc. Maybe next time the sisters can bring some fusion guns that work properly!

Thanks! I'm glad you like the format. I didn't change the outcome of the events but rearranging them allows for a more coherent story. It's always going to be swingy in skirmish when you're relying on one dice roll a turn on 4+ or even 3+ as was the case for the battle brothers.

I gotta say, playing the turns out of order does seem strange, but the battle report was enjoyable to watch nonetheless. I liked that the units now have images in their icons, making them more recognizable. Additionally, having some of the units move after an enemy's shot misses to simulate dodging makes things interesting.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Indeed, I tried to group the activations such that it illustrates the interactions between multiple units, eg. a unit moving out of the way of enemy fire, units teaming up to take out an enemy etc, rather than just a sequence of ping pong. Plus, editing the video became a bit easier!

Interesting!! I rarely see the Robot Legions get a pasting, and I admit, I enjoyed seeing the notorious rascals sent packing so rudely. The Elves played a cagey game though.

Another great battrep! Any advice for playing the elven jesters faction?
@KevinCraftHobby28 күн бұрын
Thank you! Unfortunately I've only looked at Jesters list a couple of times. I did create a draft list but never played with them. I don't have the models and I'm a bit afraid to paint those patterns!
That is an interesting but a pretty skewed list. I've never taken acolytes let alone units of them combined. I know they can buff themselves to hit on 2+, but this isn't a given (trust me I've rolled a good number of 1s on spells) - you might be better taking Jetbike Strikers who won't need an expensive Elite Protector with guardian cleric to gain regen, and with lances, they will hit on 2+ if they charge without needing a successful spell casting. I'm not really sure with the Master Jester either, ultimately it has def 5 so very low survivability, even with the added Tough(3). Might it be better to attach to a unit of Jesters? Ultgmately, I think they will struggle in their low numbers, low defence and not really reliable offensive output.

Nice battle! Just wanted to check if the Regeneration rule is played properly here, because its a roll for each Wound that has been inflicted. Meaning if the Greater Elemental failed its initial defense roll against a deadly (6) weapon, it would then have to make 6 Regeneration saves.

@@boonchiun Thanks! You would be correct, but the Greater Elemental doesn't have Regeneration. Just 2+ defence. The Elementals were accompanied by an Elite Protector with Shield of Grace (Regeneration on the unit) but the one time they were hit with a non-rending weapon was the Eradicator's fusion rifle and it defended on a 6.
