Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress - Expedition 05 - The Descent

[@misomiso8228]

Love it. My Favourite vids at the mo. Here are some RYGW, but love the vids just trying to be helpful!! 23:52 You cannot walk or shoot through ‘purple walls’ of corridors (rules P9, place chambers) 28:26 Covering fire must be done before gambits (Designers Commentary) 28:47 Also a Normal Success on a gambit only switches the explore with the nearest Hostile group to the right or left (Combat p9) 31:10 You don’t need to be beside cover to be in Cover, there just needs to be Cover ‘in the way’ that is not in the attackers hex so the rogue psyker is in cover from Grekh, as were some of the cultists after Grekh’s move (combat p12) 39:43 You cannot spend more than 2 destiny die per explorer (combat page 9, Destiny Dice) 46:52 Beastmen move an extra 1 on the charge Looking forward to the next set of missions. Just remember if another character dies they lose ALL Resource, Discovery and Stronghold Artifacts (rules Page 14, recovery Rules), though you can still bring Locarno’s ship if he is dead if you bring the two religious characters for example.

Ya when Vorne died in mission 2 she should have lost draik's secret card. That would change every mission since then.

[@ThemightybigL85]

Thanks for the rules clarification, I did miss the destiny dice rule and have been using them as needed per character/turn.

Night and day to episode 4. Well played. Great fun to watch.

[@abdulhammouda4884]

Just rewatching this now as I'm getting the game soon and omg Ash you were greedy with them fate dice things haha!

[@AdamViklund]

Well that was less stressful to watch than the last! It's amazing how the game can flip 180 like that. I think I'm going to buy this and try it for myself!

[@raedkhalil6937]

Awesome playthrough, but you are still doing the same mistake with advance and charge. Advance is the shooty one, charge is the melee one. If the model gets a Rush or Charge, their range weapon does not matter. They have to try to get into melee at all costs. Advance is the one where they can move and then try to shoot. You're also still going through walls when you should not. Purple lines mean there is a solid wall there and no one can go through (Except Amalyn if she uses her special ability) EDIT: This was especially relevant with Grehk when he got surrounded by guarsdmen. It would have forced him to kill that one guardsman that was blocking his way. Instead you made him move through the wall when he can't do that. You got the description of the dungeon wrong as well, you have to run back to the elevator once you activate the power supply. You don't summon an elevator from any of the portals. (There are more small mistakes, but they don't massively affect the gameplay so there's no point being that nitpicky :P) EDIT: Yes, I know he films multiple episodes in a row and will do the same mistakes until he films again. You never know which messages will be read or not. As long as people are civil and do not irrationally flame Guerrilla, there is nothing wrong with pointing out mistakes in the gameplay.

I just did this stronghold last night and I was a bit confused on how to exit. I played it as you wrote by going back to the start elevator, which made it much harder. But I wasn't sure if this was correct. It says to end all the explorers need to be at the elevator, but it doesn't say "start elevator". Another strong hold has a clearly labeled start and exit elevator and you have to get off at the exit one. The other 2 strong holds seem to have other ways to finish that doesn't require summing an elevator from a portal. Having said that, I think I played it correctly by going back to the original elevator, but an official ruling would be nice.

[@c3rber3s00]

@@raedkhalil6937 That was my first stronghold and man was it hard. I actually was doing really well and cleaned up the upper floor pretty fast, and I was trying to play by getting 3 6's with someone so I can go to the lower level and do the power supply thing 3 times and get out before the lower level guys spawned. I almost did it with the elder chick but I only manged to get 2 attempts instead of 3. Then all the enemies spawned and she almost died lol It took me forever to get out of the lower level slowly with everyone while being chased by endless hordes of spawning enemies. I ended up camping on top of the stairs and surrounding hexes to stop the enemies from following us, then the next turn with a well timed use of the ship that lets you keep all the destiny dice I was able to get everyone off to the elevator the next turn (with some initiate track manipulation with gambits and cover fire).

Hi I really think GmG creates cool content. I do not wish to criticize with this comment, just voicing my personal opinion. I chose to follow GmG due to the BSF content. The first couple of videos were great, I think and I learned a lot. I actually saw them more than once. However the last 3 videos have had a lot of errors in them. I actually think, that the amount/severeness of errors in this video is so high, that it does not represent a "real" BSF stronghold run, and therefor I personally lose interest. I have not seen the last videos to the end due to this. I will check the next couple of videos as well, to see if this changes then I might loose overall interest. I would prefer to have less content or lower production quality and increase correctness. This video is not only story telling its also game play. This is a personal preference of mine, I highly respect the effort needed to create content like this and I really like how its done and the entire experience looking at these videos.

[@sethdunavant1831]

It was funny on the Janus duel against the Kroot, that happened in the novel how you described the reasoning here

[@john-rossmorland]

Do Negavolt cultists not get +2 for every other in the same hex or adjacent?

[@johnmiddleton4291]

To all the rules commenters, Guerrilla normally films several videos, back to back in one day and then release them every few weeks. So rules mistakes won't get corrected until they film again. Notice how they are dressed the same in this and the last video? The blue shirt might be a clue. But carry on flipping out.

[@SpammerRapist]

Most commenters understand this. But he has been making the same mistakes since vid 1 and been reminded of them multiple times. At least the purple walls, advance/charge and the limit of extra dies/char...

[@johnmiddleton4291]

He also covers 15 or more different game systems a month. The truth is, that if most gamers taped their plays and had others watch, there would be just as many errors.

[@SpammerRapist]

@@johnmiddleton4291 ...and nobody is flipping out. Talking and commenting about the rules and play is part of the fun of watching battle reports. Ash covers a lot, but like you said, he probably only plays one game per day and films many episodes. So if he'd correct his mistakes... voilá we have many new reports without those rule fibs. (maybe with different mistakes but that's beside the point) :) Edit: well actually many people were quite critical in this one...

[@thepavl]

Isn't the normal First covering fire and then gambits? Page 8 combat book activation dice, initiative, covering fire and gambits last. Also beastmen when charging get +1 move

[@mantradox]

yes, first covering fire, then gambits. in reality, they haven't got to the 2nd Stronghold, they did it by cheating all the way through the game. I don't like it.

[@horhevamp8890]

@@mantradox In reality they have - just watched the video of them doing it.

[@TheNickman007]

Yeah, that's a harsh call by @@mantradox. They're doing just fine. Sure they've botched a couple of rules here and there, but it certainly hasn't detracted from the viewing AT ALL.

[@mantradox]

@@TheNickman007 Then watch the 6th one... I honestly stopped doing it. but again - it is my call :-) I just stopped enjoying watching them play it, because all I do is - "oh, no! can't do that! that's a no-no too! " :-) I think I made even harsher comments on the next one. Like a bunch of other dudes as well.

[@Gadgets2059]

Cant a toon only use a max of two destiny dice per activation?

[@fboylan16]

Awesome game Ash. :)

[@TheNickman007]

Hi Ash, just want to say I'm a new watcher, I've never watched people play board games before, but I was intrigued by your Hero Quest series and absolutely LOVE this one! Just got one quick question though, was UR025 forced to sit this mission out due to injuries in the last mission or did you just add that narrative so you could play some other dudes?

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Just throwing in story to change out the characters!

[@TheNickman007]

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames haha thanks mate, I thought that's what happened, but I was wondering if it was some kind of game mechanic. I'm honestly contemplating buying this game after watching your videos and I haven't played a board game since Hero Quest/Space Crusade 20-odd years ago!!

[@daxthedestroyer9061]

YES! Soooooooooooo good

[@SpammerRapist]

They really should use the ship abilities.

[@drewish75]

That was right along the lines of how well (read: poorly) the average andrew rolls dice lol. I've gone entire games with more 1s than 6s.

[@philjackson5389]

these guys need to read the rule book hay guys read the rule book

[@horhevamp8890]

The wall issue (ignoring them) isnt that big a deal since they apply it to both themselves and enemies :)

[@mantradox]

they are not reading this.. but still... destiny dice - 2 per a character/turn. Not more than that. I rewatched that again... and Pious Vorne used 3 destiny dice. She is already super OP and then cheating like this. Shame.

[@ThemightybigL85]

I must have missed this rule on my read through, I thought you could use as many as you want/need per character/turn. Where can I find it in the rules book? Gotta admit it does make the game more fun using more than just 2 destiny dice.

[@mantradox]

@@ThemightybigL85 page 9 of the Combat book: "an explorer cannot spend more than two destiny dice in the same turn".

[@mantradox]

and again - when they "come back" it is not "hurray" but it is an exact quantity of Traitor guardsmen stated in the rule book. I'm not sure that there is a 'one" coming back. They always come back in big packs. Disliked the video again.

[@horhevamp8890]

you must be fun at parties! "YOU'RE HAVING FUN THE WRONG WAY"!
