Blood Angels VS Night Lords - Warhammer: Horus Heresy Battle Report Ep 15

[@TheDanever]

I can’t understand why Heresy isn’t more popular, it’s far more interesting to play and watch in my opinion.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

It's a shame it doesn't get as much mainstream attention as 40k. Hopefully with the new battle boxes coming it will give it a boost

[@TheDanever]

Thanks for the visual feast

[@mojakanal]

Because not everyone likes playing Space Marines.

[@TheDanever]

You’re probably right.

[@bobskywalker2707]

It’s also more expensive than regular 40k since you need more models per army.

[@DaddyWarCrimes78]

Can't get over the image of the Contemptor shrieking, turning tail to run, and crawling back inside its drop pod.

[@sylntghost007]

Both armies look amazing.will Ed be doing his own reports anytime soon ? Really miss his channel. Not many heresy channels on KZbin.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Hopefully soon. Believe they are rebooting

[@martynsmith820]

Not to detract from sector, rift forge or any other UK based channels, but SN Batreps produce alot of HH content nowadays, they are worth a watch as well

[@erih2934]

Ed and his group are back again with new name (November Echo Wargaming)

[@Dante_Inferno]

Great to see Ed again, I've missed Sector Wargaming. The drop pods look amazing, the Night Lords always did have one of the best paint schemes in the game. I knew Sean was in trouble when he didn't have any dreadnoughts or even a tactical support squad. Is the mission description you were using available anywhere? I'd like to see what it looks like.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

You can find it on Attrition gaming Facebook page under past events. Helion Bridge. Mission 2

[@greener266]

A perfect evening watch to sink my teeth into after a few too many beers 😂

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Haha the best way to Heresy!

[@clonesecundus3495]

Amazing looking Blood Angels, nice to see a battle with the 9th in.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Cheers 🙂

[@Gnal00]

I saw this Night Lords army on instagram and it inspired me to get to building a drop assault list with some pods that have been lingering in the garage for a decade. Both armies looks great! Thank you for sharing this.

[@jiveturky3000]

loved it, go night lords

[@BrotherPerun]

I really like the fact that I discovered your channel recently and now I have a lot of batreps to watch! Amazing armies and I love batrep format, cheers!

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Welcome! Hope you enjoy them all

[@goforitpainting]

Very cool. 👍Thank you for sharing.

[@CaptainPlunk]

great armies and bat rep ;) You can assault from a kharybdis on the turn you land as described in the last parapgraph of the drop pod assault rule !

[@RiftForgeStudio]

🤣🤣 Ed now knows and has been kicking himself since

[@Roylevis]

Super enjoyable, pleasant voices to listen to, wonderfully painted armys. Great Batreps!

[@James-37]

@ed your contekar can charge turn 1 from the kharybdis. The drop pod rite overrides the normal assault vehicle restriction. During the Assault phase, only units deployed from a model with the Transport Sub-type with the Assault Vehicle special rule may declare and resolve a Charge and Assault as normal, other units deployed as part of a Drop Pod Assault may not declare or resolve a Charge on the same turn as they are deployed. (Liber Astartes - Loyalist Legiones Astartes Army Book p99

[@martynsmith820]

Great to see another Batrep guys! Watching 2 elite terminator squads limp wristedly slap each other was hilarious

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Haha thought it would never end!

[@erih2934]

Fantastic game with great armies... and Ed a born Nightlords player :D

[@mueezadam8438]

Wow! Very cool Nightlords list!

[@etiennemiquel6757]

awesome battle report, thank you !!

[@ericbayer9341]

Great vid. Keep up the awesome content. Amazing models!

[@happydrutt8932]

Great armies and interesting game lads. Really showed up the power of a x3 dreadnought supported army vrs one without though. Kinda was only going one way really.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Aye its a shame if one person has dreads it almost becomes compulsory the other has to as well

[@DeusExMachina10001]

NL have so little in terms of elites that unless you know your opponent's army isn't very strong, you kinda have to take them. Contekar, Atramentar, Terror Squads, and even Night Raptors all kinda suck.

[@happydrutt8932]

@@DeusExMachina10001 I’ll have to disagree with you there and i think most night lord players would aswell. The army is very strong in this edition. The fear and outnumbering bonuses they have are very good.

[@DeusExMachina10001]

@@happydrutt8932 I didn't say they weren't strong, I'm saying that they do poorly against other elite units because their own are bad. They have amazing Dreadnoughts (Prey Sight is incredible on them), and a very good Trait. Fear is good but situational, and Curze is excellent as well due to all his support rules. But their unique units are not very good. Contekar are trash, Atramentar are maybe the worst unique terminators in the game (maybe the Red Butchers it's a toss up) and Terror Squads, aside from not being very good, are redundant because you can just kit a Support Squad to do what they do for cheaper. Night Raptors are their only decent unique unit and they're overpriced for what they do. Generic TEQs and WS5 termies tend to give them quite a bit of trouble, and Dreadnoughts are one of the very few things that can counter them.

[@happydrutt8932]

@@DeusExMachina10001 So if your opponent brings dreadnoughts to counter your dreadnoughts and a few of their own elite units your in real trouble. It’ll be back to tactics and lucky dice..🤔

[@smellslikemachinespirit4255]

Great video, really enjoyed it!

[@Stormseer88]

Nice batrep, though I´ve got to ask... Is that the soundtrack to David Lynch´s Dune playing in the background?

[@RiftForgeStudio]

No clue! It’s just some free music KZbin offers up 😄

[@youseeyou2159]

two beautifully painted armies. What color blue is that for the Night lords?

[@terminatoruk4921]

Would love to know this too - any recipe available for this night lords army?

[@redcorsair14]

Awesome Battle report! Would love to know the blue recipe for the night lords, it is so vivid but dark at the same time

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Cheers bud. You will have to ask Ed on Instagram about the blue. You can follow him @defsane_scar

[@nealcranney7217]

Brilliant game guys but on the initial pinning test on the command squad that they failed wouldn't the banner make them stubborn ld ten ?

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Going of memory, I think they were outside the bubble for stubborn

[@DeusExMachina10001]

l don't even want to think about how long it must have taken to paint that NL army so well.

[@SonOfTerra92]

A clash of angels and demons.

[@RedHarbinger]

Wait, Fury of the Legion applies in your opponent's turn as well?! 🤯

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Oh yes. Was confirmed you can do it in the FAQ

[@isopainter]

My 2 heresy armies 😍 can't lose

[@RiftForgeStudio]

We were in love with the red and the blue. Quite eye-catching

[@FarseerB1rdy]

"but we love narrative in HH" Proceeds to cheese 2+ artificer armour saves. Ah yeah the Sgt jumping in front of all those Bolter rounds. Absolutely gash rule.

[@Macharius.lord.solar6960]

Awesome game
