You are a VERY welcome addition to this channel...if I do say so myself!

+SIMON ROBINSON. Well he has to come all the way from Ireland so I'm not sure that will happen. But I do hope he will invite me back and I can feature on his channel again in the future. I'm just happy to play with the legend that is Striking Scorpion.

[@DrumsTheWord]

From my humble point of view...I see you, Simon, as a great player, narrator and gamer. I hope to see you more on Striking Scorpions channel....with his permission. I believe it's a match made in heaven, even though you both offer so much on your own channels. Thank you, Luke. This was a real pleasure. Can I help pay for your train ticket? :D Rob x

[@ThePraetorianOfTerra]

I know it's off topic but in reference to the super sergeant, I had a bodyguard armed with a plasma gun attached to my command squad who managed to beat 2 terminators to death in close combat after his whole squad had fallen over the coarse of the assault phase, he then charged Mophiston (one would left) and stuck first and put his ass down too. This guardsman is now a lord commissar armed with a plasma pistol and power sword. Thanks to the heavily applied use of green stuff ... Field promotion FTW!!

[@theshinygoldenemperor2422]

I had a regular Guardsmen that tanked an entire round of shooting from a Hurricane bolter (Which I count as six bolters, not 3 twin linked) dying to the last shot but allowing my melta bomb squad to take it out. R.I.P

@@mitamajr I had a 2000 pts match in 7th ed and all of my marine army got wiped out excluding 4 terminators, by the end of shooting phase in turn 2, my opponent losing only 1 squad of chaos cultists. but by some insane luck and a blessing of the dice gods I tabled his army in turn 7 losing only 2 more terminators MFW.

[@wintersSEO]

Just watched it all the way through. Even better than I remember it. Great scenario. Great table set up. Great camera work and narration - the light and dark theme works very well. One of the music sections sounded familiar. Lovely. All round great stuff.

I met winters and appeared on his channel. I took a fluffy nid list and had the best time ever. winters is a top guy!

Which is unfortunately, very rare nowadays

[@paweziokowski3433]

+ Winters theme after round 1 + Perfect narration + DAT table... + Again narration + That imperial guards army looks perfect + Winter's reaver on the table - rather rare sight + Kharn and James the Betrayers ;) + That Shadowsword shot ^^... + v.nice infiltrations / deep striking - made the whole drama go even higher - 2 titans vs no titans = the reply from the imperial forces was devastating

[@ImMrHibachi]

This was hands down my favorite battle report that I've seen so far. Not only were the objectives interesting, but the table and terrain were awesome and the tactics were super fun to watch. Both the drop pod and teleport assault by the space marines as well as the Chaos flanking maneuver were really cool. Plus there were titans, super heavy tanks, and tons of air support. This battle report had it all! I loved every minute of it.

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Great! Glad you enjoyed it:) Planning another apoc game release soon all being well:D

[@therealgrixly5592]

It's funny that a huge scale game like this is hinged on 3 individuals.

[@DrumsTheWord]

This is a dream come true. I am loving Winters SEO being included. Scorpion knows how to produce an exciting battle report. And I haven't even watched this yet. I'm going to say...I LOVE THIS!!!

[@ZatoichiBlindSword]

Come on Chaos General, wth? You risk summoning bloodletters with a 1 wound non-demon psyker who is ALSO a objective??? And why would you charge a rhino with the termies when you could reach the Warhound? Just UGH..... (Nice terrain though)

[@connerwagner1308]

i mean why not? it's 40k for crying out loud ( I'm just a troll, it's all part of Tzeench's plan anyways )

[@imperiumgaming3888]

What an epic game. I have played Winters a couple of times lately and he has a couple of batreps ready to drop against my Sisters of Battle and Crimson Fists. He is a great player and fun to be around. Looking forward to our next game and also seeing him on Striking Scorpions channel again in the future.

[@bellportbattlebunker4682]

Impressive! Great board, always liked that bunker complex. Great theme with the chaos transition. Apocalypse battles are the best, especially seeing all of James' guard and imperial armor in all it's glory. Hoping for that dice of a 1 to bring them back to the light! Thanks for sharing.

[@94Angelwing]

Awesome. Lots of destruction and silliness as expected. Very amusing to have the astropath perils - a risky move but in keeping with chaos!

[@andytyrrell6341]

as always my first impressions are of the wonderful crafting and dedication to the game, from the creative fine detail on models to the terrain setting and narration. How do you remember what each character or squad has in skills and arms? The videos are a big step from the first die rolling on the kitchen table with a motley crew hiding behind the teapot and salt cellar! In the end, both sides should be applauded for the time and effort.

[@Zaprozhan]

Ah, yes, the Battle of Kitachan Tabel. Many lives were lost in the Sinking Salt Fields, and drowned in the Gravy Swamps. But their memory shall live on! I've seen a paper standee Dark Eldar army. Gotta start somewhere!

[@reidzalewski4563]

I'd love to see a apocalypse game like this where the allies have hidden objectives... so one part of the alliance might be trying to seize a structure, while the other gets mad at them for not killing a particular unit, etc.

[@Zaprozhan]

I think this is a great idea. I tried to write a 4-way scenario, where three players had different secret objectives, and the fourth, had no goals, was just there to muck things up.

[@unkelTP]

Cool looking models and terrain, BUT... We all know who will win.

[@Melkor1205]

That's true! The side with the Titans alsway wins... I wanna see a battle with titans on both sides... noone does it! I just don't know why!? Reaver vs Warhound... would have been awesome :D
