Cawdor vs Escher Necromunda Battle Report S4E1

[@spencerc1801]

The absolute best Necromunda battle reports out there.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks friend! Definitely the shortest 😂

[@SweenyMarc]

Ooof, that was a rough one for Escher. About to play my first ever campaign (and playing as Escher) so I was looking forward to seeing this, maybe picking up some tips. Better luck next time I guess! The terrain looked fantastic though. Really liked the scattered rubble, I've never seen that before and it adds so much flavour to the scene.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! Yeah I had ideas from the start it just never opened up.

[@j4bb3rw0ck]

Woo, season 4! These really are the best Necromunda batreps out there (the KT videos are great, too), and it's so good to see you starting them back up. Loving the narrative of this campaign, I wonder who's behind the disappearances?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! If only I thought that far ahead! :D

[@battlebrotherguy]

Season Four Opens with a WALLOP! The terrain looks fabulous! Looking forward to the rest of the season.

[@neovalley]

Premier Necromunda content. Thanks for leading the pack

[@dokb1942]

Great bat rep! Sometimes the dice just say no, that unknown is what makes the game even more fun. Looking forward to seeing how the campaign progresses! 😀

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Agreed!!

[@TStirlingLittle]

Glad to see yall are back to necromunda, and to see some cawdor action!

[@jschwa7390]

Lets get ready to Rumble!!! Love the new terrain, great paint job.

[@ebadger82]

Amazed to see that this didn't descend into close combat at all. another great video and always nice to see the brethren cleanse the heretics!!

[@IdioticSynergy]

FINALLY! A NECROMUNDA BATTLE REP! LETS GOOO!

[@heretical_hobbyist]

Great to see Necromunda back. Brilliant work on the new table! But man, the Escher never seem to catch a break in your games. Off to a bad start again 🤣

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah I even played them thinking it might balance the game a bit. He kicked the crap out of me. :D

[@number_48]

Only vids I can safely auto like before watching. Games Workshop must owe you a fortune. Great as always 👌 👍 👏

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Lol! Thanks! I’m still waiting for that first check. 😂

[@mysticwolf6291]

So excited to see the new season start! Even more excited to see Cawdor join ranks!!! Love your content, thank you for creating it!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thank you for watching!

[@dysonraf]

Hi dude have to say I'm absolutely loving your channel! Battle reports are so well shot and a good pace. Some channels barely edit and it can be a grind watching! Plus your battlefields look great. I've followed your painting guide black > brown > metal and love the effect so quickly turned my sprawling mdf buildings and walkways into industrial hive! Please can you tell me how you painted your oil barrels? I'm hoping for a real quick method! Thanks in advance and keep the content (particularly necro and FoW coming!)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks friend! The barrels are really easy. I have two main colors, blue and red. So just slap those colors on, give it a black was and highlight drybrush with light blues and orange for the red ones. Some of them I added some off white, like a bone color to the middle sections. Whatever you do you can end with a silver drybrush or splotch it on for paint chipping.

[@dysonraf]

@@MiniatureGameMontage great stuff thanks for the quick reply. I'm all about trying to get as much variation painted as possible and inspired by your games. Just need myself an ender 3 to print stuff now as I'm spending a small fortune on buying everyone else's prints 🤣

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@dysonraf it’s a hobby within a hobby. Can be frustrating at first but once you get it dialed in and understand it’s a game changer

[@jimroberts377]

Great content, keep them coming

[@adammeney8841]

Loving the new terrain pieces. Such great Necromunda content!!!!

[@doubleskullwargaming]

Great bat rep and absolutely quality scenery. Really brings the little township to life. Interesting scenario, never attempted it but probably will now!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks it’s interesting. Wish we had more time with it but who knows we might roll it up again! 🙂

[@DrDrybrush]

Always a good day when an MGM battle report can be watched 😊

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks friend!

[@mkozinski]

Excellent as usual! Kind of reminds me of the last game me and my friend played during our Dark Uprising Campaign, We were playing Search and Destroy and owing to great luck on my part I secured 2 caches and thus the victory by the endo of turn 3, my friend was less than happy with the results... But hey, sometimes dice ruin the best of plans :)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! Yeah we had fun playing the game but definitely wish the dice were a little more giving 😂 I’m not sure I’ve ever said that

[@Voicespider]

Wow that was a short one with some quick out of actions. It makes sense that Escher bottled when they did. It is never an easy call to make. Looking forward to more battle reports in this season!!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks friend! It is indeed!

[@te9591]

Your terrain is perfect in this to represent the lowest part of the Hive before it becomes Ash Wastes. Looks amazing.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! I'm about to turn some more attention to the Ash Wastes. Building nomads and working on the official terrain next. I'm only a year late. 🤣

[@misterymaybe5584]

Loving the report, great review of possible outcomes for Munda!

[@ajhgames411]

Love your battle reports!! So happy to see a season 4!!

[@tims5298]

Sweet Cheers man

[@robertspears8301]

Great batrep! Glad you're back with another season. Terrain looks excellent. Saucerman?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! Yep...I backed the Flatline City Kickstarter.

[@jamiemoresco3885]

Just picked up the ash wastes box. Looking forward to both styles of batreps . Keep up the great work. 👍

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Awesome! I'm slowly chewing through it. I have the Dustback Riders built.

[@jamiemoresco3885]

Awesome can't wait to see how they turned out and how well they do in a fight.🤜🤛

[@christophernss9281]

So happy for a new season.

[@bena7294]

Hell yeah!

[@PMMagro]

YES, another season!

[@hisingenwargamer2996]

great video!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks for watching!

[@uguugert]

Season 4 Hype! Let's Go!!

[@skirmishmats]

New season hype! Let’s go!

[@DaThingOnTheDoorstep]

Rough start for Escher, but with those creds, they can start handing out the Hotshot packs!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yes sir!

[@seriouseGeorgeboardgames]

loving it

[@christianlawrence2714]

Let's go!

[@williamyoung2691]

Rough start for the girls 😭 but great rep as always! Really looking forward to all the new gangs tho and that terrain is looking amazing!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! They salvaged both plasma weapons so will still be deadly.

[@The_Guild_Mages_Forum]

Yooooo, I’m part of the candor gang? 😂

[@JohnMurphy-p9f]

Hello Sir. Where did you get the recycler terrain at one minute into the video? I would love to get one for myself!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Check out saucermen studios flat line city. It's a file they offer. 👍

[@robinmottart3859]

yes News season!

[@daneerickson8796]

Yes!! So happy to see season 4 start so quickly. Would you say this game was lost in deployment? Cawdor big guns all had options and Escher just didn't.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Somewhat yes. Had I to do it all over again, Plasma would have been on the roofs.

[@rikokrates6298]

Tough game, that really came down to deployment and some lucky dice rolls, interesting scenario though. I'm kinda scared you put a plasma gun on a regular sister though, they're so fragile!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah I decided to double down on the Plasma. Luckily both were salvaged from this game as one didn't even participate.

[@rikokrates6298]

@@MiniatureGameMontage I wonder if a grenade launcher on her and an upgrade to a bolter needler on the Queen would have been better, that way you would have 4 weapons capable of dealing 2 damage. Too late now, I've got my fingers crossed for them anyways.

[@dsanchez23fight]

Love your batreps. Question, do you use Yaktribe? If you do, a video about how to utilize it to it's best potential would make for great content.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yes I do. Big fan of what they have built. Makes life so much easier. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

[@Simon-ed6zc]

Hooray :D

[@HeadCannonPrime]

uh oh, just by the length of this one I can tell someone got stomped.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

lol it happens...I'm just here to record it. :D

[@HeadCannonPrime]

@@MiniatureGameMontage And I'm here to watch it!

[@eliasdeleone7059]

Empra Bless ya!

[@Walkingdeath_69]

Season 4 Lookout :)

[@callmedavid9696]

Love the report. Was this using the current necromunda or the old rules? Sorry never played necromunda but interested and seen a lot of people saying skip the new books just use the old rules.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

This is the latest and greatest ruleset which has been around since 2017 I think...

[@pennertoadinc.3150]

Can someone tell me where this terrain is from? Any cheap options?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

This terrain is mainly from saucermen studios. 3D printed on an Ender 3

[@XirielNZ]

Poor Escher, really not their day. That Escher list looks nasty too under more forgiving circumstances. Great to see the new season start, and hopefully the girls can bounce back.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Hot shot las packs incoming!

[@justingrembowski2878]

Where did the terrain come from?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I backed a kickstarter from saucermenstudios.com.au/ and 3D printed them

[@l.w.1014]

Finally, the next season! Seems like the gals are still getting slugged left and right. Cmon ladies, don't give up!

[@rosrealm]

Nice :D

[@Omalley69]

Escher felt medi-ogre. Time to play the ogre-achievers ;)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Coming up next! At long last. 🙂

[@stevenprimrose8677]

good bat rep do to the how big your game is now I take it we will see more game's than last season

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Maybe. They take so much time to set up and prep. I'll try to get more in if I can.

[@0neKingD0wn]

Hey MGM, we re just getting into necromunda here(coming from 40k), 4 game or so played and yet to start our very first campaign. Necromunda is sort of daunting at this point, so many books, sooo many rules speaded all over but we re tuning this thing to our liking. Gang tactics.....goonhammer says there are 350ish cards all around, most out of prints others in books and special boxed editions you needed to buy. I like how it can potentionnaly add flavor to a game but it feels out of reach for newcomers like us. How do you deal with this thing? Also, you re new season is a gift and a curse mate, awesome content but i hate beeing up tp date with it, i binged you other seasons and it was the best of time.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! That’s really awesome and I wish I could do more. It just takes so long to set up and produce. It’s so much fun. So regarding the cards, I feel your pain. Yaktribe has several resources you can reference for cards you may be missing. I would point you in that direction. 🙂 Cheers to the gang and enjoy the fun!

[@jonnygadfly]

Excellent! But as an Escher player, these batreps do sting a little...

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

😭 I’m playing them now and it stings me too!

[@vonkrieg9984]

Sweeeet

[@jackduncan5311]

Love your Bat-rep's but I have to say the Escher lists you throw together are very sub optimal, feels like they never have a chance in your campaigns

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! Always open to recommendations!

[@jackduncan5311]

@MiniatureGameMontage The Lasguns was a good start 👌 Needle pistol and Claw is probably the least powerful Death Maiden combo, I'd go double Claws or dual stilleto swords with combat virtuouso If doing dual stilleto swords, maybe upgrade to a chem synth? If one power one stilleto, then upgrade with a stimm-slug stash. With the Matriarch Plasma gun is a good call, but a Plasma cannon with spring up is brutal! As for the specialist, I always go for a template weapon. Chem thrower for campaign (means you can add chem-syth and chems for later on) or Grenade Launcher for a gang Skirmish As for the gangers, I wouldn't put armour on gangers or juves at the start of the campaign. My main gripe is the leader, the shock whip is rarely a good call, I always go Chainaxe and Plasma pistol, I have a rule not to double tap skills so I put disarm or her which makes her disarm with the axe on a 5+

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@jackduncan5311 Yeah I built the kit as it was intended so I feel the need to play somewhat WYSIWYG. Knowing what I know now I would have done things differently but I tend to run that whip because she's modeled that way. This is really good info though and I appreciate it!

[@jackduncan5311]

@MiniatureGameMontage I would agree that the base kit in a few boxes is sub optimal but you have the option to build from there. I converted my Orlock leader to a wrecker for example with a 3D printed jet pack

[@notreallydavid]

Really good video - but say 'coup de GRASS', not 'coup de grah'. Why would it be grah? Why does nobody in America know this anymore? Please kill me. Best regards.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Lol it is what it is. I said it that way in other videos and people got on my ass. 😂 I just decided to say it how I say it. I can’t win.
