Daemonic Invasion! - (2000pts) WAR DAEMONS VS ALIEN HIVES - GRIMDARK FUTURE Battle Report

[@TheSpoonisme]

Great, fast-paced game! Love how easy OPR is to follow. I think you might have short-changed yourself with the tyrant though; pretty sure it gets base AP1 on all its attacks.

[@hauntswargaming]

[Checks rules] Ah yes, you are correct :p Thanks for the support!

Amazing game! Those green die might be loaded, though, so many 6's. haha Loving these OPR Battle Reports!!

[@hauntswargaming]

Yea, those grunts should have died :p Thanks for the comment!

[@dicepersecond]

Very enjoyable battle report! Also (at least for me) its a very rare case to see those two factions fighting each other. Keep up the good work! :D

[@hauntswargaming]

Well thank you :) Glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@alphanerdgames9417]

Thank you :)

Great battle report ! Can't wait to see if the other gods will show up in your scenarios !

[@hauntswargaming]

Whenever I get around to painting my change demons :p I really like their plague line too.

[@lordcodger]

I play impact as it doesn't trigger fatigue for the melee. You could get charged, fight normally, then charge back and still get the free impact hits. Entertaining game and I liked the way you set and used the scenery.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! I think it makes sense that the charging unit would be fatigued. If the target unit survives and fights back they would be fatigued as well. I think OPR is in the process of reworking impact/phalanx.

Haven't clicked on a video so quickly

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks for the support :p

[@chrisboyd4433]

Question: It looks like the two armies have different colors rimming the bases. Is that correct? I've already decided that all my armies will have plain black bases, and I was thinking of using colors on the base rims to differentiate the factions. Did you get there first?

[@hauntswargaming]

My AH have yellow rims. It's just for aesthetics though. I did use different colors for the base rims on the grunts to make it easier to tell which are shooters/assault at a glance.

Great battle report! I have to print up some demons now. They look too cool

[@richardasher4602]

@@hauntswargaming just got into OPR myself with my warhammer group and we are loving it so far.

[@larryirish9498]

Excellent BatRep! Two quick question/comments - were you guys having the charged units take their 3” countercharge movement? Also, were you limiting the Melee participants to just minis in base to base contact? It ought to be any minis within 2” of an enemy model. Again, an excellent batrep - it moved along nicely with plenty of action and you mentioned the rules & reasoning as you played which is great for newcomers! - Larry

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks for the comments! We usually do the 3" counter charges off camera or I speed up the footage. And yea we use the 2" rules for melee combat.

[@larryirish9498]

@@hauntswargaming Ah, my mistake. I’m looking forward to the next GDF batrep. 👍🏻😁

[@hauntswargaming]

@@larryirish9498 No worries! I post these once a month. Usually towards the end of the month. :)
