As a fellow Thousand Sons player, excited to see them on the table.

Deception vs perfection.

[@fareastwargaming]

It was a close one for perfection that's for sure. Could have swayed either way with a few different dice roles. I think the lernaean's wiping out the assault squad put them in a lot of trouble. otherwise, they might have had a chance to do significantly more damage in the EC back line.

Amazing looking armies and the board is superb. I like to see a lot of scenery. We tend to do something similar with the only gaps being wide enough for a Land Raider.

[@fareastwargaming]

Glad u enjoyed it! We have always felt 30k is best to play on decent scenery!

[@FilmArtet]

you guys make great stuff looking forward to see more!

[@fareastwargaming]

Thanks so much! We're trying out best to keep on a regular release schedule. 🤞

[@pascal9055]

Great battle report. Love you guys and SN very much. Keep up the great work! Do those las cannons for Alpha Legion have unit cohesion (they are more than 1 inch apart but maybe AL shenanigans?)?

[@fareastwargaming]

Thanks for the support. Unit coherency is 2", so the AL Las boys were good. We've made some nifty little guages to quickly check coherency as well 😉

[@JH-ci7gu]

Great bat rep fellas. Imperial fists vs Alpha Legion next !

[@fareastwargaming]

Glad you enjoyed it. We'll see what we can do about getting that match up on the cards 👍🏻

[@UntiltedName]

the quack sfx got me good

[@fareastwargaming]

Hahaha yeah. Got to please the YT censors. Thought it'd be something more enjoyable that the standard bleep 😅

[@petercarlson8240]

Great game, thanks again for posting as always. AL players myself, was glad to see you running the Headhunters with combi-weapons and also the lack of armor, though I daresay you could have benefitted from a Scorpius yourself to bust up some of the EC troops concentrations. Also-- I was a bit surprised to see that some of your bases were trailing off the board edge -? Around 31:19 when the AL Tac squad was trying to get away from the inevitable large blast template. Not game changing for sure, but not great gameplay either. Anyway thanks again for posting the game. Hydra Dominatus.

[@fareastwargaming]

Thanks for point that out. We'll make sure to keep an eye on that in future battle reports. 👍

[@ortegaja0704]

TBF, there was no intent to have their bases hanging off, that particular terrain piece was knocked about a couple times during filming!

[@jeanfrancois8145]

First in, what a great way to start a monday ! Cheers and happy new year fellas !

[@fareastwargaming]

Happy New Year! Thanks for the support. We're trying to release on a Monday just for that reason. Starting off peoples week with a bit of Heresy action 😁

[@abbadonslostarms-kbd1393]

I think the turn thing goes both ways. 4 turns is deffo something they did to speed up events/ games for events and it does benefit some legions. However , the 6 turns also benefits some legions. It allows the big shooty legions to sit back and blast for a few turns and still allow time to move onto objs at games end when opponent is badly beaten. My guess is who you play/ what legions you see in your gaming groups will have an effect on which number you prefer for turns

[@fareastwargaming]

Both are valid points. It would be interesting to try something like 4 turns, 5th on 2/3+, 6th of 5/6+. Would make strategy come more into play. Might have to test that here.

[@abbadonslostarms-kbd1393]

@@fareastwargaming that's deffo worth testing and a great idea tbh

Big thanks!

[@ryanfurey5465]

Sad too see the waste of the firedrakes good game tho

[@fareastwargaming]

Yes, they were a very big deterrent in the AL force. It didn't see combat, but it did its job of completely denying access to Jason's backfield. I'm sure you'll see them dishing out their full glorious carnage in future videos 😉
