[@sn_dc]

Even nicer in person 💙❤️

yes.

Death Guard dying from taking a bath. 🤌

Hahahah so true! Purging the unclean 😂

Mortarion is Fearless. He and his unit can't be pinned.

DC haha

@@SNBattleReports😀😀😀 sweet revenge for the BA

[@cutfromstone754]

The Alpha Legion Army is one of the most amazing things I've seen yet.

[@SNBattleReports]

🙌🏽

[@sn_dc]

They’re so nice in person, even the bases are so crisp!

[@endlessfight]

DC… I laughed til I cried when you rolled those Master of Signal saves 😂

[@sn_dc]

Honestly, at this point I lean into it 😂 go with the cursed flow!

[@SNBattleReports]

😝

[@myrar8708]

Always good to see more Alpha Legion. Thanks again for the Heresy content!

[@SNBattleReports]

More to come!

[@sn_dc]

Honestly the army is amazing in person ❤💙

[@christopherburton7883]

I wish my combi melta's had armour bane out to 12 inches. Might have been a bit different turn 1 if they only had it to 6 inches.

[@SNBattleReports]

Yeah it seems DC and Jason were doing armour and for full range

[@jasonholland1892]

Yea I should have caught that and moved the HH up to ensure they had the range. I forgot the 1/2 range on the combi-meltas.

[@pascal9055]

😅

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

@@jasonholland1892so not really a big deal. 🔥

[@KapitanPoop]

@@jasonholland1892 still could’ve easily nuked everything… Infiltrate within 12”… Scout move to 9”… regular move 7”… you’re now within 2” of your target… even nastier when you mount said HH squad in a rhino…which then gains Infiltrate and Scout… HYDRA DOMINATUS!

[@Red2Productions]

Two battles reports in a week, you’re spoiling us SN! Great to see the Alpha Legion… I mean the Blood Angels… in action!

[@sn_dc]

Alpha Angels!! 😅 glad you had fun 😊

Glad you are enjoying it and thanks for supporting

[@alanshufelt392]

Fabulous work, as always. Love seeing the XXth on the table.

[@crwarren]

Primarchs do have the independent character special rule

[@jasonholland1892]

Yup, nice catch.

[@SNBattleReports]

Yea sir!

[@cromfeayr7934]

Hello guys. Correct me if I'm wrong but combi-melta armourbane range is 6 inches. And there were couple of those shooting in 1st game round into land raiders which were outside this range and were rolled 2d6 for pens. Also same case with destroing rhino.

[@nukedukem4260]

Yeah, that should not have happened. Armorbane rolls for ranged weapons only kick in when at half of the weapon's maximum range.

[@RalosBlitz]

Yeah, the combi meltas shouldnt have got those pens turn 1. There were other mistakes such as Reaping doesnt allow you to move react other than the 7" move in the DG special reaction, the Precision shots on the Masster of Signals had another failure and the breaching that should've gone into the rest of the squad, unless they said off camera about the hills but they didnt take any cover saves for anyone, Mortarion is a primarch and Fearless so couldnt be pinned at all (and so auto passes the Brace reaction to disorder). Lots of things wrong that soured this for me, for such a beautiful looking game.

[@jasonholland1892]

You are correct. I should have moved the HH up to 6 inches for the first Shooting. With Infiltrate, Scout and Relentless they can get to the 6" limit, but I did forget about the half range armor bane for the combi-melta on this one.

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

@@jasonholland1892no big deal 👍🏼 Alpha Legion would have prolly suffered some wounds from the many explosion 😂

[@hannahgeraghty4201]

​@@RalosBlitz mistakes happen in games all the time, and the added pressure of playing for the camera makes it much worse. Cut the guys some slack

[@tyuigkn5366]

"We will have a primarch off today" HAHA WHICH ONES REALLY ALPHARIUS

[@mmurphy5]

37:07 pinning test is only at -1 if the unit consists solely of Dawnbreakers. Pretty sure you don’t get it if you have independent characters attached.

[@jasonholland1892]

You're right, it says "entirely composed." Shouldn't have been able to pin Mortation anyway as he's fearless.

[@mmurphy5]

@@jasonholland1892ah, that too! Glorious army btw!

[@SNBattleReports]

Good spot

[@SynnerG]

That Alpha Legion force looks superb! Any chance Jason can share his blue paint recipe or have any social media to check out more of his stuff?

[@jasonholland1892]

This force was actually a commission done for me by Den of Imagination out of Poland. Highly recommend checking their stuff on Instagram or their website. Cheers!

[@SNBattleReports]

You can see his social media tag on the report. But I don’t think he painted it

[@jasonholland1892]

Hey man, the army was actually a commission done by den of Imagination. They've got a great team out of Poland with a lot of their work on Instagram and their website.

[@benjaminbrenner745]

How wonderful, thank you!

[@SNBattleReports]

Our pleasure!

[@alexanderclarke6880]

Also, Primarchs are independent characters, it is in the Primarch unit type in main rule book.

[@SNBattleReports]

Yes sir!

[@DevilsBrushGaming]

That was the most alpha Legionly game I have ever seen. Got a very similar army and watching the battle report was amazing to see.

[@SNBattleReports]

It was wasn’t it 🤣

[@jasonholland1892]

Thanks, the goal was a really on brand AL assassination force!

[@folejarczyk]

Hello. I'm watching your BR DG vs AL, weren't the head hunters out of armobane's range at the beginning of the game when they were shooting at the land raider?

[@jasonholland1892]

Hey man, yep. Thanks for catching it. Commented on some others as well. I should have moved them up before shooting to get the armorbane.

[@SNBattleReports]

Correct mistakes were made sorry

[@padanfain7466]

That Alpha Legion army is absolutely outstanding. It looks like a real labour of love. So clean and the colours really pop. Just Bravo! Would love to see more of his work, vehicles/dreads maybe. So so so good, I watched the army review at the start 3 times....ah the armourbane though. That's a real shame to get it wrong :(

[@SNBattleReports]

Thanks Boss! The army isn’t painted but him but was a vision he had which I think they have captured very well. Sorry about the armourbane.

[@jasonholland1892]

Yea man, Den of Imagination out of Poland did the army up for me with my inputs. You can see everything they've done for the list on their website, and I have pictures of a lot of it on my Instagram

[@jasonholland1892]

You're absolutely right on the armorbane, should have moved the HH up a few inches on the right before shooting.

[@stokerd1]

How were the Alpha Legion able to infiltrate so close to the Master of Signals? He has an augury scanner - they cannot infiltrate within 18" of him ...

[@SNBattleReports]

Mistakes were made. Apologies

[@jasonholland1892]

Deploy at 18". Scout up 6". Then move up. We should have discussed/covered it better. But same end state. Also, Exodus doesn't infiltrate, so the augury scanner doesn't effect himm.

[@Wotsdat35]

Nice to watch just to see that lovely Alpha legion army, but felt one-sided enough for it to be less than enjoyable...

[@SNBattleReports]

Sorry to hear. I think with the mistakes made of some rules and not going for night fighting the game ended very quickly. Apologies but I guess these things happen in a dice game as well

[@derspielgefahrte7637]

Good work, as always. But I have one point: Minute 22:05: preferred enemy does not work for Armour Pen rolls I think… only hit and wound rolls

[@SNBattleReports]

Will double check thanks buddy

Very nice to see another cool alpha legion. Almost makes me go back to make Alpha legion force, but ill stay loyal to my fluffy Saygar Mazan idea with Hibou Khan! Fun fact, just now daggers are used when im watching, and they are breaching 5+ not 6+! so every wound they do is ap2!

[@SNBattleReports]

Yes we saw that’s amazing

[@clover8892]

That battlemat is beautiful, anyone know where i could find one?

[@SNBattleReports]

What was the recipe for the non metallic blue for the alpha legion? It’s gorgeous

[@SNBattleReports]

We have sadly No idea I think they were commissioned

[@brianabela4533]

They really need to change the vehicle damage table; explosion is way too easy.

[@SNBattleReports]

Agreed d3 extra hull points is what it needs

[@steverobinson8925]

I normally love your battle reports but had to stop watching this one after seeing two land raiders go up in smoke on turn 1 due to incorrect armour bane rolls. Such a basic rule to get wrong. Won’t stop me watching future reports though

[@Txaka666]

There were a few more mistakes, and all of them against Death Guard. It may be that DC would lose all the same in the end, but there were too many for the game to be balanced or fair, since all happened in the same direction. Should have been a much closer game.

[@jasonholland1892]

Yup, my mistake on the armorbane. I should have moved the HH up turn one before shooting

[@SNBattleReports]

Sorry about this

[@joseffjones4575]

Also the gravewardens have heavy sub type so should have rerolled their armour saves on the explodes wounds

[@Txaka666]

@@SNBattleReports No need to apologize, it was a great game and both armies are gorgeous. It was fun to watch, and I always love watching DC play, he's such good sport even when dice go blatantly against him.

[@Umnoss]

Quick question: why Morty's unit annihilated the Sanguinary Guard when they ran away? aren't they heavy because of the cataphractii armor of the Deathshroud guy?

[@SNBattleReports]

Morty was added to a unit of Tártaros terminators

[@raphie8488]

DC you missed one brutal 2 save it was two not one and you also missed the get's Hot rolls for the heavy alchem flamers. The better option with the Tactical would have being to shoot the bolters with fury of the legion.

[@sn_dc]

Thanks Raphie! My wise rules sage 😊

[@raphie8488]

@@sn_dc It is easier to spot errors when you watch a vid. I would make tons of mistakes during a game.

Sad times

[@ryanbeebe6304]

Love the Alpha legion. Got to say though the apothecary and headhunter squad wouldn't have been able to infiltrate unless Alpharius gave them the ability. The headhunters would not be able to infiltrate due to the apothecary not having the ability.

[@jasonholland1892]

Apothecaries get all the rules from their squad, so they can infiltrate as well.

34:57 are power daggers breaching 5+?

Yup, good catch. They breach on 5s not 6s.

[@SNBattleReports]

Correct!

[@igorpersin7484]

Can't you do precision strikes one by one? Meaning you don't waste shots ie wounds.

[@jasonholland1892]

I've seen this played several different ways to be honest. I do it this way to avoid the thematic idea that bullets are changing target in flight.

[@SNBattleReports]

You hit then after hitting you need to decide where the hits go before wounding

Gorgeous AL, but that melta BS kinda ruined the game for me

Sorry man, I should have moved them up a few inches before shooting. With Infiltrate, scout, and then movement, wouldn't have been an issue to get to 5 inches.

Sorry to hear

[@shendu1337]

sadly this game was just to 1 sided. all rules mistakes asside. boards like this dont work. you need buildings to hide behind. just 1 massive gun line with insta killing weapons makes for a very boring and 1 sided match.

[@SNBattleReports]

We like are narrative battles where it’s not always ruins. You need to remember that this alpha legion army gets anywhere it wants with this list. Sorry to hear it was boring for you. Hope the next one you enjoy a bit more.

[@myrkulwargamer4785]

Beautifully painted Alpha Legion army, but I hate games like this. I had a few battles both where I massacred my opponent in the first round (and where i was also massacred like with new demons). We always sat down together to talk after the game and we decided that this wasn't how it should be. It leaves a terrible feeling after such narrative game as Heresy. it's sad when most of the army (which isn't cheap and painting takes a lot of time) doesn't even have the opportunity to do anything.

[@SNBattleReports]

@@SNBattleReports dont get me wrong. Everything is great here. I just feel bad for DC 😁

[@markgueran8818]

You should try to keep these games more balanced, it’s not such fun to watch when it’s so one sided. HH is more of a historical game, it isn’t competitive. The lists should t be so tightly honed.

@@markgueran8818 well that list just won one game in the event he just played so wouldn’t say it was that strong at all. Just a good counter and after getting first turn and no night fighting with great dice it all changed a lot
