Ooooh! I normally hate the tiktok fake voice but with the starcraft adjutant filter it's amazing!

[@hauntswargaming]

Agreed! I may have to incorporate it into some terrain tutorials

[@YeAuldGrump]

The thing to worry about when fighting Hives - don't close too fast, go slow and take advantage of ranged combat. The Jackals caught the bugs' attention too fast, and they were able to close. Keep in fire teams, so each unit has supporting fire, Advance, don't Rush - let the bugs come to you.

[@hauntswargaming]

Agreed! If we had had time to refilm this we would have honestly. We could have made better tactical decisions. Thanks for the comment!

[@zephyrstrife4668]

@@hauntswargaming Just seems to emphasize the greedy mentality of the jackals sent in to try and loot the place. Not enough intel, no overlapping lines of fire, and lots of guys caught out in the open. Very entertaining game, as well as a very important learning experience.

This looked like it was really fun! I love the format of your batreps. Charging a stunned unit instantly kills it, for the record. So you almost always want to activate stunned units first, and if you can, charge your opponent’s stunned units. ^^

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! Glad to hear it. And I didn't know that. To be fair though, the alien hives seem a bit OP so I wasn't trying to be too competitive :p

[@Musuzima]

Wow... Those Jackals really took a beating. Apparently your dice discriminated against canines... Now armed with the better knowledge of how the rules work, REALLY hoping to see more of these battle reports from you guys. Time for those Jackals to go big hunting again...!!!

[@hauntswargaming]

Yea I felt bad. The rolls were pretty brutal haha. Thanks for the support! We plan to start uploading these 1-2 times a month :)

[@Redtecho]

Nice board set up.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! :)

[@pixelamerica6601]

I really like the format of gameplay and small talk, interjected by narrative developments at the end of each round, I think that created a really good vibe as a viewer. Also, the paint scheme of the jackals makes it easy for me to tell them apart (Elites, Melee Guys, Shooters) and I really appreciate that as well! Keep up the great work!!!

[@hauntswargaming]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for giving your 2 cents on the format :)

[@nordicson2835]

Thanks for helping me survive the Friday subway trip home.

[@hauntswargaming]

No problem man :p

[@shawnvaljean9260]

Thank you for this! The Jackal line is the reason I finally took the plunge and bought a resin printer. I hope to see more of them.

[@hauntswargaming]

That's awesome! You won't regret it :p And we will definitely be doing more games with them.

Thanks!

[@Habes]

Great battle report! Loved the triple snake eyes at 11:18 XD

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks man!

[@anegativeatheist-9327]

I love OPR! Thanks for the video. More please!!

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks for the support! I upload one of these a month ATM.

[@kosachilles2504]

Great video!

[@hauntswargaming]

Thank you! :)

[@ericgrider5855]

Good batrep! I like the narrative style 😎 Also the rules pop-ups are useful. Thanks

[@hauntswargaming]

Thank you and Thanks for the comment!

[@lucasbittencourt8290]

Great content! I love watching OPR Battle Reports. I've played a game with Jackals, and if you don't build properly, they can honestly be quite an underwhelming team. The Elites x Stalkers combo is a good one because you have a good balance of ranged and melee offense, but I'd have added at least one melee Beast Rider instead of the Trackers to soak up some damage. Also, one Veteran with either Hunt Master or Warlord is an absolute must for Jackals teams. :)

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks for the comment! To be fair it was only our second game with the Jackals. They definitely seem to require larger units to be competitive. And finding ways to take advantage of their carnivore ability. I'm excited to play some larger battles with them once we get our forces built up!

[@2newlife1]

Nice job man

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks!

[@KnTenshi2]

Awesome bat-rep! To be honest, I just think it's cool you played one of the Missions.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thank you! They have a lot of missions I'd like to build a story around.

[@KnTenshi2]

@@hauntswargaming Yep, and all Missions are made to be cross game compatible (ignoring some fluff if need be), thus Missions from the other Mission Packs can easily be slotted in too, if you'd want.

[@MagpieNation]

Jackals gotta learn to focus fires, especially when rngsus decides to frown. Great fight all the same though. It was cool seeing one of the new armies in action.

[@theliberalrepublican]

2 comments on this batrep, 1. I'm so glad to someone else roll as piss poorly as I usually do! And 2. glad to see another bug keeper spank his opponent!!!

[@necrobama8868]

great battle report :)

[@sionmarcsimpson7487]

Hey guys great game! Been a patreon to OPR for over a year and love love love them. Best value for money subscription out there bar non! Can I just ask guys. Where is the battle mat from? and lastly is there a How to painting guide for those lovely looking Hive and Jackal forces? Always look forward to your battle reports.

[@hauntswargaming]

Thanks! The desert mat I got on ebay. I looked and can't find it unfortunately. I documented a portion of the painting process for my AH but it's not really a tutorial. Brooks has his own channel, he might upload a tutorial at some point for them over there. youtube.com/@EtherForge

[@ratz30]

Sniper doesn't give +2 to hit it let's you shoot at quality 2+, so shooting into cover you should have been hitting on 3's Edit: ah this was addressed a couple minutes later lol

[@hurnn1543]

Looks like melee is far stronger than shooting.
