Astra Militarum Vs Tyranids! | 10th Edition Battle Report | Warhammer 40,000

[@s.h-d6074]

25 points left and no Cyclops Demo-Vehicle? Heresy!!

[@357Dejavu]

That is the worst kind of heresy!

[@Badbufon]

it had to be a fair game

[@talaananthes]

Literally came here to say this

[@rossjames4412]

BENEFIT OF COVER Each time a ranged attack is allocated to a model, if that model is either wholly within this terrain feature, or it is not fully visible to every model in the attacking unit because of this terrain feature, that model has the Benefit of Cover against that attack. It does say MODEL not unit so I think you need to remove the model(s) benefiting from cover as they die

[@imperialjake114]

You can only get cover allocated to the models in the unit in cover. So you take a cover save or a normal save to decide where the models get removed from.

[@markdorn8873]

I was geeking out when the Starship Troopers music started, and kept it up all game. Thanks for a stellar battle report!

[@michaelslack7359]

Had this on in the background whilst working and with the accent one of you sounds like Alan partridge at a glance which gave me a good chuckle at that thought. Great battle gents keep them coming!

[@joelwashere5382]

Loving the Starship troopers theme 👌

[@Killery96]

The Halo 2 reference at 14:24 was hilarious

[@anollk]

This narrative for the Tyranids is much more interesting then infinite bugs.

[@zephyrus513]

i love actually seeing never ending horde

[@juju-danger-bear]

I loved the endless swarm video the other day and am glad to see you try out other swarm types such as invasion swarm. I'd love to see a harvester swarm (with haruspex in it) and / or a flying fight between a hive crone / harpy and the imperial flyer. Brilliant videos as usual 👍

[@drbelanger73]

Simon, I think you saved me. I have six tanks and two sentinels to paint in two days. I think I can do your color scheme with speed paint...

[@Natedecamp]

Towering is still blocked from line of sight behind a ruin. They have to toe in to shoot out or be shot

[@mjhsinclair]

If you’re running invasion fleet, give the Hive Tyrant the FNP enhancement and he’s tough as nails. Not essential, but if you did want to avoid the proxies in future.

[@adamduncombe594]

Yes mate! quality!

[@Natedecamp]

@mordian its big guns never tire rule monsters and vehicles can shoot or be shot while in engagement range. So those guardsman could shoot the monster in combat as long as they arent in combat. Key to remember the rule is for monsters and vehicles can shoot or be shot while in combat.

[@TheVeeBeaT]

I love the off-cut bad batch hormagaunts, great way of being creative within limits

[@TheRainbowCarnifex]

1:42:20 the hive tyrant would have died to the heavy bolter as the winged one has a 3+ save

[@orthanus]

So the cover issue at 36:00 is a minor mistake, although there is some nonsense so I'm not surprised. With ruins, the defending unit gets cover on a per model basis, however the often missed issue is that it measures cover to the attacking UNIT, not attacking model. It doesn't matter if your attacking special weapons guy has a clear shot, if 1 pleb at the back of the attacking squad cannot fully see that model due to ruins, defender gets cover. Didn't detract from a stellar battle report though, and the intro music was gold!

[@KhevaKins]

You did towering wrong at 26:30 ? In 10th, Aircraft can be seen regardless of ruins, Towering are still obstructed by ruins. The difference for Towering is they only need to be within a ruin to see through it, not wholly within like every other ground model. So a Knight only needs to be 1/2 in tonsee through a ruin into the open terrain behind it, but a Leman Russ needs to be 100% in to do the same. For 'Woods' though, towering get no benefit. I also think you may have been doing 'benefit of cover' wrong on infantry units. BoC is determined model to model, so if you have a 20 model unit, and only 3 are in a ruin, and the rest are fully visible to the attacking models, then you can only roll with the BoC on those 3 models, and as such have to slow roll your saves until they die, remove the ones with BoC first, then roll the rest of the saves normally.

[@KhevaKins]

Just as a note, when 10th launched towering also was visible from anywhere, but was errate'd in the first update.

[@DeathJester40k]

Ah man this is EXCITING... My main army (Guard) against my second army I just started building (Tyranids) such a Timeless match up against two of the coolest factions in all of 40k! 😎

[@zombiesue1054]

That's the thing I'm seeing in 10th so far, is that tanks and some elite infantry got a boost in durability, but light infantry absolutely did not. Bonus points for all the free wargear, so now every tank has an extra 2-3 anti infantry guns strapped to it. Lists don't need to bring units that focus on anti infantry anymore, since bringing all the other stuff a list needs brings plenty of anti infantry as a side effect.

[@LooneyPoliticsTunes]

I’ve stoped playing GW games , won’t get into it we all know the reasons. But people like you keep me watching content. Love your excitement when you play games. People like you keep GW alive , sadly I dot think they realise it

[@LooneyPoliticsTunes]

I for one love seeing your bolt action content. I have a heavily converted volksgrenadiers army thanks to you ! They truly are a hidden 💎 but you ether win heavily or get battered if you go pure Volks ! But omg 😱 so much fun to play

[@MagicTheBudgeting01]

Third to hold the line against Chaos! For the emperor!

[@nyxhighlander9894]

Looks like Simon wanted a titan

[@Mark_Evaldi]

cant use insane bravery to auto pass against shadow in the warp. gg go nids!

[@anthonywoodward4158]

Surely you only get cover if in cover, guys in open shouldn't benefit because they have a unit member 5" back in cover, doesn't make sense to me even if it is a rule

[@michalkowalski240]

Well, it is so because the person shot at decides where the shots are allocated and quite reasonably decides it is a model in cover.

[@liamrossnoble]

Guys in the open don't get cover. Only the ones on cover. BUT you have then allocated the attacks to those models in cover, so any failures die. You don't get to take the guts in the open off the board if the saves were made on the ones in cover

[@anthonywoodward4158]

@@liamrossnoble yeah exactly what I thought, mordian says in this video that because 5 hormagaunts are in cover the whole squad gets it, so he's playing wrong surely

[@anthonywoodward4158]

@@michalkowalski240 yes but in this game mordian has 5 hormagaunts in cover and proceeds to say the whole squad gets cover, this is what I'm referencing

[@michalkowalski240]

@@anthonywoodward4158 it's a logical shortcut; however what he is doing wrong is saying that the shots were made against benefit of cover and then after damage allocation removed units in the open

[@MRjLANKY]

Still waiting to see the field ordnance battery to be used

[@KKZVlug]

Mordian you need to use the Tyrants free Strategems those first hormagaunts could have had lethals on 5+, and he could have had a permanent 5++ enhancement while the flying tyrant could do the same giving out that 5++ for free. That poor tervigon stuck at the back you need that girly up in close combat.

[@richardbaker4088]

Consider yourself lambasted sir!

[@Killery96]

Second for the Eye of Terror! I would like to know more.

[@Storehouse-805]

EPIC Intro!

[@liamkofibright1326]

Great stuff! If you do NidZilla I'd be cool to see you try Crusher Stampede? It seems so much worse as a detachment but I'd be interested to see if you can make it work.

[@SiggyCloud]

The heavy bolters are on the wrong sides.

[@Podman75]

@mordionglory you should consider getting psychophage they a cheap to find second hand they have a 5++ and give everything 6++ within 6 inches couple that with having a squad of zoanthropes with it gives 6+ invulnerable. With those 2 benefits i had 20 termigaunts eat a repulsor executioner with only 4 losses. Drop the tervigon for 190 add those 2 for 235 and adjust from their. Not to mention how lethal zoanthropes are i love running at least 2 squads of 3 to spread that invulnerable and pack all that s12 ap-3 d6+1 goodness with a s7 blast alternative for infantry to boot.

[@rileyjessup2414]

Can you do some comparison videos for similar units? Ex/ basilisk vs manticore etc!

[@KevinSpecialK]

Would you like to know more?

[@nickhatfield3536]

First comment is for Cadia!

[@mighty4234]

how can you be on 2+ save in cover against -2AP? i thought cover couldnt improve a save beyond 3+

[@ThePungljung]

3+ saves never go to a 2+ with cover. But a 3+ save in cover against ap1 remains a 3+. Edit: i read your comment wrong. Dont know where this happens so i cant help you.

[@littleboober]

very much enjoyed this video! go nids!!!!!!

"We are going in with the first wave! Means more bugs for us to kill. You smash the entire area. You kill anything with more than two legs, you get me?!" Metal Cadians painted at Starship Troopers from the movie was my first 40k army.
