Imperial Knights vs Tyranids Warhammer 40K 10th Edition Battle Report 2000pts

[@chris-comiskey]

I adore how Magnetron is now simply a permanent addition to the force. I was worried he'd vanish back into the shadows when James wasn't around. 😁

[@AzeotropeDr]

I adore that this is the first comment and not a spoiler.

[@chris-comiskey]

@@AzeotropeDr If only there were a Tyranid unit adapted to absorbing spoilers. Anti-spoil-a-tron?? 🤔

[@TheRainbowCarnifex]

the tyrannofex blank damage is when they are successfully wounded as thats when you allocate the hit, also tyranid mosters do bracket its below the weapon profiles on the card, also you mesure to base on kinghts as they are walkers

[@Jago_Thane]

Great to see knight on the channel and a great looking Lance at that! LLTT is one hit and one wound roll - not hit/wounds of '1'

[@davehumphries7635]

Yeah re rolling the one dice did surprisingly well this time! I think the dice gods were smiling... For once 😂

[@davehumphries7635]

And cheers 😊 once the Lancer is finished I am taking a break from painting any model with gold on it for a while hah...

[@davehumphries7635]

Thanks for having me Luke! Was a great game. Also its just clicked.. i should name each of the Knights after one of the Magnificent Seven 😎

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Thanks for taking Part Dave...great battle!:) Yes good idea! Come back and we can play 'The Magnificent Seven Ride Again' lol

[@davehumphries7635]

​@@StrikingScorpion82 definitely! I've almost finished painting the Lancer up so definitely up for a rematch.. the armies felt perfectly matched 🙂

[@chris-comiskey]

Dave, that Ork tattoo on your hand is absolutely legendary. 👊

[@davehumphries7635]

@@chris-comiskey haha! Cheers Chris 😁 Gork on one side and Mork on the other... Because deep down everyone is really an Ork player 😎

[@chris-comiskey]

@@davehumphries7635 This is 💯 accurate.

Those IK were stout AF 1st turn ☠️☠️☠️ Decapitor ☠️☠️☠️ was a TOTAL METAL XENOS BEAST !!! 😈😈😈

[@danielpedersensevaride5928]

What a cracking game of monsters vs titans. It was very fun to watch and great to see the knights getting on the table. I have never seen them played and wow it was cool. What joy, with all these challenge the scorpion games we are seeing such cool unique army's and it's the best!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Yes some great variety lately thanks to our guests on the channel🙂

[@Dewoy1]

Great game! More can´t get enough of Tyranids. Tyranids monsters do get a -1 when they´re low. So in Crusher Stampede you´re back to your normal.

[@nathanielmiller8040]

What a great game! Awesome to see the knights show up in force! A great looking army Dave put together, well done!

[@davehumphries7635]

Thank you 🙂 maybe we'll get them up to Apocalypse level!

[@neddyWhite]

So with Lay Low the Tyrant, each knight can reroll A hit AND A wound per phase - doesn’t have to be a 1. Additionally, once you kill the enemy warlord, your knights only get the 5+++ feel no pain in your NEXT command phase (along with the 3CP). You don’t get them immediately

[@NicolaiVE]

Beatifull Knights! Those Nids shure are tough...

Whoosh! Great game fellas 💥💥 I definitely think it’s time to start a knights army, they look amazing!

[@davehumphries7635]

They're a very satisfying army when they're all painted up as they have so much detail... Also they're great for trying new painting techniques given how big the surfaces to paint are.

[@fluffcrunchmini4572]

Oof - brutal and twists right through to the end. What a result!

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Glad you enjoyed it. Was a good match up:)

[@davehumphries7635]

Honestly it's my favorite type of game when it's one like this

[@euphoria7046]

What twists are you talking about the knights got murdered bc they spread all over the place.

[@ikarian8318]

Mr Scorpion you made big gifts to the Knights: first you should have cursed Rotate Ion Shields with the Swarmlord and second, no move with it avoiding overwatch...and sometimes I think that the Knights didn't count the -1 for shooting into and out a melee, but not so many times... And I think that the Assimilator ability to resist on an objective is better than its doom on an enemy unit...

[@davehumphries7635]

We did remember the -1's, but every one that was shooting was actually already damage bracketed and on a-1 already.. those rupture cannons when they get through are nasty! Also we had discussed the Swarmlord moving or not...the chance of getting a hit from O/W vs the potential damage it could do was pretty big so I'd say worth the risk unless the dice gods curse you 😅

[@ikarian8318]

I think after reviewing the Tyranid hit rolls, that would be quite better to choose Invasion Fleet and going for Lethal Hits vs Vehiclea and Monsters across the board. That's because the Rupture Cannons really don't need +1 to hit and wound and that's your only heavy shooting weapon. So I think about all those other small arms shots that would have wounded vs all those vehicles, ok? And another thing is that you could have had at least a FNP 5+ Stratagem at hand...I'm not sure but this Crusher Stampede is not so good imo...🤔

[@ikarian8318]

And yes, I was sreaming too...come on, you play a same army all the season...you can get its rules right...sometimes...😚😅😂

[@loveraman9252]

Allocation of attacks happens when you decide which model have to save.

[@Sollapoke]

Glory to the Questor Imperialis!

[@DrTurnerJr]

Another happy Friday!!

[@jacebolt2718]

Damn, was realy hopping to see an exocrine this time..moving on with the assimilation.

[@roden_es_1507]

Two weeks of Tyranid games ? We are lucky

[@GerrardTorres7665]

Aren't Imperial Knights re-roll one hit roll and re-roll one wound roll with Lay Low The Tyrant?

[@davehumphries7635]

Yes it's one of each per model, per round.. so good with single shot weapons but not so useful on lots of dice.. or flamers where it's not so good hah!

[@GerrardTorres7665]

@@davehumphries7635 but it’s any hit roll or wound roll now, not just 1s. I think it got changed in the balance dataslate.

[@davehumphries7635]

​@@GerrardTorres7665man I just checked and saw that! Thank you good sir.... One chivalric point to you :D (I don't think it would've affected the game though).

[@GerrardTorres7665]

@@davehumphries7635 No problem! Good game to watch. I was just worried that I had been playing it wrong against my friends :')

[@GerrardTorres7665]

@@davehumphries7635 Also, that Norn Assimilator should have been -1 to hit, you were right!

[@MrWizzyfizzy]

Just watched a miniwargaming batrep & they spoke about it being weapon barrel

[@davehumphries7635]

With most vehicles that's not an issue... But with knights it's potential for abuse is massive so I think the base is fair. The Lancer's shock lance is legit 8/9 inches long even before attached! Otherwise there's some odd charge and anti deep strike shenanigans you could pull that just feel really off.

[@dodge7729]

Can I ask where the intro music is from ? Thanks

[@neddyWhite]

It’s great to see an Acheron in use, but I winced when I saw it. Most useless knight datasheet by far :(

[@martynsharp5936]

Some very questionable cover claims...

[@davehumphries7635]

One thing that doesn't really come across on KZbin is how much cover you now have in 40k. It's pretty rare nowadays not to get cover unless you're right next to a target if tables are laid properly.

[@equos5060]

Two Knights with big flamers against Tyranids? Smells like list tailoring...

[@davehumphries7635]

Haha nah i always use them as i dont like rolling to hit... Also the other big knight - the Castigator Lancer is too many points to fit in 😢

[@4TL45_40K]

defiantly not they're currently some of the worst knights in the game at the moment

[@StrikingScorpion82]

Yes Dave only found out the faction he was up against when he arrived on the day:)

[@aronrowley411]

I'm not sure on the tyranofex thing however. If there is no wound, there will be no damage. Also in the core rules, the order is 1. Hit roll 2. Wound roll 3. Allocate attack.

[@davehumphries7635]

​@@4TL45_40K yeah the Acheron really is the least useful on paper... I've heard the play test for the new dex has it's flamer going up to AP -2 which would be perfect! I use it as a bit of a distraction carnifex at the moment as it's so fast.. but it needs a boost!
