The Kommandos retreat to their forward operating base at the sign of Astartes. Now they find themselves surrounded and low on ammo in the mission Evac Inbound from the Octarius book.

[@andrascsabahorvath9804]

That was quick and brutal :) Orks on conceal might have survived longer, but with no reinforcements on turn two probably still fold ...

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah conceal would have been a good thing. But you are correct, zero reinforcements was delaying the inevitable. 6 guys scaling the wall at once and unloading on them in turn 2.

[@number_48]

Nice. Looking forward to the next Necromunda installment. Keep on keeping on dude.👍

[@GSIron]

That was some of the worst rolling I have ever seen lol Keep your head up Ork player, the dice will go your way soon

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah that was my son. I’ll be sure to tell him, lol. It was bad. No hits, no saves, no reinforcements, no lolz 😂

[@elderbasilisk1534]

that scenario seems really really brutal for the defender and it didn't help that the dark angels were perfectly set up to take advantage of it. had it been the other way around with dark angels defending, it might have been a little more even if only because the dark angels could probably have shot a couple unactivated orks off the board round 1 to make the odds a little more even and would have had some brutal overwatch to even it up further. But still, a brutal mission. it's really really hard to compete when you start out down half your kill team.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I agree. I got the Octarius stuff painted up, couldn't wait to play it, and then picked this scenario. I thought it would be pretty epic. But then everything whiffed, no reinforcements came in, etc. Very difficult for the Kommandos but they will be back!

[@deabio]

Keep these videos up mate! I've really been enjoying them, and the effort you put in is clear.

[@deabio]

Also, any plans to do some Into the Dark soon? Or will that be a S2E1 thing? Looking forward to it whenever you're ready!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@deabio Thanks! I appreciate it. Sometimes they don't go how I would like but it is what it is. I totally plan on going "into the dark." There just may be some Necrons waiting down there instead of Kroot. :D

[@KAPTINKRUMP]

Good format, cant wait to see you guys refine your process and style, great batrep!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! I'm determined to make them better, tactically and style!

[@zacharyyoder9498]

Not that it mattered, but it looks like the Kommados used Just A Scratch twice in the second turning point at 11:25. "Other than Command Re-roll, each player can use each Tactical Ploy no more than once per Turning Point. If a Tactical Ploy is not used during a Turning Point, it is only limited by the number of Command Points you have."

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Cheers! Thanks for the feedback. Just a mistake on that.

[@johnbeaudoin7820]

That’s what can happen in narrative missions! Nice to see some more Kill Team, well done!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah it was our first narrative mission. A lot of folks were asking for one. Figured we would try it out. Thanks for watching!

[@mr.m1703]

Just got caught up on your Kill Team series - fantastic stuff!!! Love the style of your batreps. Man, that reinforcement roll in Turning Point 2 was just brutal for Da Boyz!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

It was terrible! As was the shooting. To be fair, they should have all concealed at the start. I’m excited for the next arc where we go into the dark…but more subterranean!

[@pbutch217]

Great to see intercession squad in a batrep. Unfortunate it was so lop sided. I hope to see them on the channel again soon!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! They feel very deadly with bolter discipline and the chapter tactics to strip cover. Not sure I would choose methodical again.

[@pbutch217]

@@MiniatureGameMontage methodical is my go to as well as -1 crit damage (I think durable?). It's definitely worth it when your team starts getting injured and firing overwatcb

[@ComfyFable]

This is the clearest and quality kill team content I have found on youtube, only improvements would be to show more ploys like cards and stuff being used.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! I really appreciate that. I would show the cards but I always think about what GW may be looking for (copyright violations, etc). It's always in the back of my mind so I tread with caution. :)

[@mini-paintingpapa]

Honorary Member?! That's Awesome! haha. Great Batrep. I love it when Orks and Heretics go at it......

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

🙂 I very much appreciate what you did with those custodes! They will be back in action soon.

[@KillTeamHungary]

MASSACRE! Good :)

[@tims5298]

Loving me some DA action cheers all

[@pogsothoth]

11:13 Wouldn't he be hitting on 2s since you have a supporting model in the fight?

[@XDfunnyguy]

I have 6 assault intercessors on sprue lying around, I want to paint them up to be death company and give them +1" move and rending. And with some green stuff I could make some grenades to turn one of them into the assault grenadier. Probably not the optimal way to play intercessors but it sounds cool and it'd be a pretty easy paint job, black and red with some gold

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Totally! I have assault intercessors as well but they are space wolves. Death Company would be sick.

[@TheKsalad]

I'm only a few minutes in and why would someone play Kommandos and not have them on conceal? I'm not sure if I missed something but the orks are also not keeping saves for being in cover and just taking damage that should have at least been negated once for cover

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

The Accurate Chapter Tactic strips cover if a critical is retained. Pretty brutal but yes they should have been on conceal. Sometimes we learn the hard way. :D

[@Marlerc11]

Well, I guess it was more lore accurate haha. Five space marines should have like 0% failure rate against ten orks

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah…lol that’s a good way to look at it.

[@blkjet117]

If the dakka boy has vantage, doesn't that negate the Intercessor's cover?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I don't believe it negates cover. I think it just treats a conceal order as engage. That's how we played it at least.

[@blkjet117]

@@MiniatureGameMontage My bad.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@blkjet117 All good! I'm really trying to focus on rules so next I can focus more on tactics. We're obviously lacking in that department.

[@templargfx]

That is what is known as a punishing vantage point, which needs to be twice as high.

[@trickshaw]

I wouldn’t have even recorded this. That’s such a bull**** scenario. 11AP “team” vs. an 18 elite? Never mind the ammo checks. If I ever played Octarius I’d just be like, “Let’s just save time and aggravation here. You win. Next scenario.” Im not even playing and within 3minutes of the video I’m already pissed off. How does this crap pass play testing?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I’m sorry my report caused so much hate and discontent 😂

[@jamesmarkstone4887]

This is why I am hesitant to get into Kill Team. This game seemed to be zero fun for the kommando player.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

It's actually a lot of fun. This was our first "tabling" if you will. Kommandos needed to be on conceal.

[@DarkPhoenix1515]

this is just a narrative mission and one of the weird ones. not at all representative of how KT games usually go.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@DarkPhoenix1515 Yeah I finally get my Octarius terrain painted up and picked a dud scenario. It sounded like a lot of fun!

[@KingKooba22]

Kommando player should have concealed on the Marine's approach, using the Silent attack of the Slasha Boy to do some chip damage, and maybe sacrifice a melee slot with the sniper to do some big damage on approach - wait for the marines to scale the wall, then fight them on a more even ground with the Kommando's respectable Melee skills + the superior numbers would let them basically be able to 2v1 each marine
