Mechanicum Vs Raven Guard - Mech Vs Corax - Horus Heresy 2.0 Battle Report

[@Basskin]

Another note that we realised turn one when the audio was off - it's only the Arch-Magos and the unit it's in that ignore Precision Shots as the rule is attached the the "High Lord of the Technoacanum" or whatever it's called, not the Magos Dominus as they don't have that.

[@johnondich-batson9066]

I understand not have a convoluted board, but I really think more LOS blocking terrain is needed so that it isn’t just a shooting gallery.

[@Basskin]

I would also have appreciated more LoS blocking terrain. So I support this comment. 👀

[@BearfootMiniatures]

So we could’ve played a city board but varying the location types it’s very hard to get LOS blocking terrain that isn’t just city blocks (which gets very samey to fight over all the time) James was offered if he wanted to make the forests LOS blocking through the terrain piece but said he didn’t want to do that

[@BearfootMiniatures]

On this note as welly next terrain project (starting soon as I can, I love making terrain) is to make more small buildings buildings (the large ones I have are great for events and set pieces but I want more for variation)

[@EAfirstlast]

@@BearfootMiniatures Complete non ruined buildings make good LoS blockers.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

@@EAfirstlast i think this will be it actually that or ruins with piles of rubble up to ground floor window height maybe (like when cities get completely bombed out)

[@petercarlson8240]

Awesome, so glad to spend part of my saturday with you guys. Well done.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robertknox8745]

Fantastic game. One thing, with Gets Hot rolls I don't think you roll to wound, text from the rulebook reads: "When firing a weapon that Gets Hot, roll To Hit as normal. For each unmodified To Hit roll of 1, the firing model immediately suffers a single Wound with an AP value equal to that of the weapon that was used to attack"

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Your right! That’s why plasma guns getting hot isn’t so scary! I’ll inform Phil!

[@Road.To.Reikland]

I don’t know why we did this as it’s not something we’ve done before and certainly isn’t how we normally do 😂 I’m blaming the heat and trying to remember all the rules of the new Mechanicum

[@robertknox8745]

@@Road.To.Reikland I mean the AP changes on gets hot have thrown me enough that I can see how it happens.

[@horstpaluschke6911]

Sea! Hawks!

[@tpot3679]

Question for the RG player: i see you splitting wounds from attacks between different Sgts and models in a unit. I thought you had to continue to take saves/damage on a model once you nominated it to start taking saves unless it was an IC.

[@Basskin]

Hey mate. It actually just says "Character" for wound splitting not "Independent Character", so it works on Sgts too. It's normally not that bad with just one Sgt, but the Dark Fury's having three makes it more annoying.

[@tpot3679]

@@Basskin that would explain it! Thank you!

[@Basskin]

@@tpot3679 anytime!

[@Instar_nine]

You need more Los blocking terrain guys And the dice roller should not be in the middle of the board The middle of the board is often where the action is and a cool terrain piece should be there But great bat rep Cheers

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Cheers mate: I actually offered these guys to start using the large woods as LOS blocking cos we wanted to use a different table (rather than just city all the time) but one did and one didn’t want to do with went with rulebook

[@AmbitStudios]

Wow 2.0 mech seems great... at getting tabled!! Personally I'd like to see more book missions. Curious why you guys are running house rules / missions when the edition is brand new?

[@Basskin]

These were the missions that were played at Warhammer Worlds event a few months back. But Max has said to run more book missions (which are not enjoyable imo :p)

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Ye as James said it’s actually a mission from a WhW event that was written by the design team (and James loooooves them, I’m 5050 about them) One of the things though is the missions haven’t really changed from 1.0, so although they need to be in the mix, for a lot of us playing from 1st they feel very played out, like a tournie scenario that you’ve worked out all the “answers” for

[@nathanvarley542]

Remember that murderous strike doesn't instantly kill Castellax, it just deals extra wounds. The primarch wouldn't kill Castellax that quickly

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Yes mate, the guys realised 25mins or so after playing the game, I’ve actually done an addendum in the first turns movement phase letting people know Hope you managed to enjoy it anyway!

[@nathanvarley542]

@@BearfootMiniatures of course! Still a great battle. Love the content so far and the speed that you are adding new 30k games

[@aworldeater7989]

I figure if Phil is now a robot he can't get paddled. Let's see what happens.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

You’d think….

[@rfvliegen]

Cavas Plasma Mortar is S8 isn’t it? That Deliverers squad should have been deleted T2 or am I missing something? Great Batrep as always tho, enjoying the new edition content.

[@GorgofGhent]

Battle Hardened allow them to survive

[@Basskin]

Gorgo is correct, the Deliverers have Battle Hardened (1) due to them being loyalist, so count as T5 for the purposes of Instant Death.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Ye battlehardened as the other guys said, such a massive rule and crazy that these guys get it but even drakes don’t!

[@rfvliegen]

Holy sh*t... I stand corrected. So weird to see this on a RG unit

[@superstringy]

Can anyone tell me how you can equip Kaedes Nex with a jump pack? I really wanna do this but can't find rules to allow it...

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Based on the model or james' usage?! (sorry if you can give me a specific timestamp I can give a specific answer) If its the model I imagine James had just modelled him that way, and his rules with light means he can move like 12" and shoot at full effect anyway so similar in usage

[@superstringy]

@@BearfootMiniatures You are right - I think he was just running and shooting at normal BS because of his special rules and I mistook that as him having jump range!

[@geoffreymorris613]

Great game. Using a hard G for cybertheurgy made me want to die. Soft G when followed by y, like Clergy.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Haha I think that’s regional mate, people say clergy like that round abouts But glad you could enjoy the game despite horrific colloquialisms

[@jamiemorris152]

Really like your format, but would prefer games without primarchs

[@BearfootMiniatures]

I hear you on this mate: I don’t actually own one (because I don’t see why a primach would be in my dudes’ narrative, me and Phil have actually run an event series where we didn’t allow them for that reason) so no primachs is coming, just letting people have fun with em at the start of H2 tbh

[@Basskin]

I just don't have 3k of painted RG without him. 👀

[@Basskin]

👀 Oops. Our bad.

[@EAfirstlast]

XD Would have changed the nature of the game for sure.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Ye… 100% agreed here Factoring that in I actually think the mech held up pretty well!

[@Dwilson1282]

audio issues happen. Scrap cooode!

[@BearfootMiniatures]

We thought it was the equipment turning itself off due to not appeasing the spirits but I may have just not performed the rites of turning on

[@SirMeowingCat]

Basic tac (trash) marines auto hit with their krak nades in combat, mechanicrap. BOOM!

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Ye wierd they auto hit now! Ap3 I get cos it is a breaching grenade
