I've personally found a good way of giving Militia a bit of an extra leg up is letting them pick a 3rd Provenance of War. My playgroup has started letting me do this with my beastmen Militia and it's really made an impact into how the games are played and how effective the armies can be

[@RiftForgeStudio]

That's a good shout. We will have to give that a go

[@terrymcginley7606]

Which 3 did you use?

[@hannahgeraghty4201]

@@terrymcginley7606 Abhuman Muster, Feral Warriors, and whatever the one that lets you give your dudes Frenzon. Full melee goats.

[@Jonahhi]

If only they needed a leg up.

[@MadToxin2876]

@@hannahgeraghty4201 ah, drugged up cave-beastmen, classic

[@WarzoneMorloc]

I love both armies and really enjoyed watching this game!

[@greyknightsmk]

Militia is so cool looking. I love seeing everyones idea for them and hopefully can think of something cool to do myself in the future for some dogged scrappers.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

They are certainly awesome for conversions and unique forces

[@crwarren]

Small rules point: Melta bombs do not auto hit, Krak grenades do but Melta bombs require a to hit roll.

[@jeremygale4849]

I played milita for a while now. In this new addition, I noticed a lot of tanks with vanquishers, and demolishers are the way to go! Also alchem jackers and industrial stronghold is the way to go. I love shotguns on my Milita to pin. Also the Medusa artillery seems ok. It seems like you need to drown the opponent with body's and heavy firepower!

[@Orlunu]

13:41 and a few other points - sentinels have a ruin partially in the way and skirmisher, don't they have like a 4+ cover save that's being entirely ignored? (Curious if there's something preventing it that I'm missing...)

[@happydrutt8932]

Really great game lads and great to see this militia army again too. Cool that Dreads were left out of the game too to keep things more even. Great work with the channel fellas. Look forward to the next game or painting vid.👍🏻

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Cheers mate. We wanted it to be entertaining and from our experience militia don't have much to answer dreadnoughts so was an easy decision to leave them in the cabinet. We got some cool batreps coming up 🙂

[@Gwagia]

The Militia Look great are those GW? The navy Infantrymen.l?

[@logcabingaming3710]

Excellent batrep lads and was very excited to see a non-Astartes army playing (I’m new to HH so have mainly been watching space marines). Such a close game and both armies were beautifully painted. Just subbed and looking forward to the next report!

[@erih2934]

Great armies and thank you for sharing the battle report :)

[@nickarmiger2003]

Great report and pretty close run. Interesting with the sentinels included, rather than massed tanks.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

I love the look of sentinels. I'd run an army of them 🤣

[@greener266]

Ayy looking forward to watch this one for while

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Enjoy bud!

[@newtpondskipper]

Glad to see the militia on the table, I have an army but they tend to get steamrollered in my area with multiple dreads in most lists. Glad to not see those in this game! Blood Angels looked beautiful!

[@matyasbures8852]

"Hey there! Your video quality looks fantastic, and it's awesome that we both have the same camera. I'm really curious about how you achieve such a crisp and clear display. Could you please share some insights into the settings you use? It would be incredibly helpful and greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work!"

[@WarzoneMorloc]

Recording and uploading in 4K or at least 1080 at 60 frames per second I find gives you the best and smoothest footage

[@yagsipcc287]

Yes! brilliant watching this one in an hour or two when I get home :-) thanks again lads.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

No worries. Enjoy!

[@michaweremko3507]

Stunning armies! Playing fantasy here but enjoying those HH batreps haha. I might give a go with a BA legion in future 😅

[@daryleasom5026]

Both really good looking armies guys. nice work.

[@maxlodge4668]

Great batrep lads, those Russ look ace Ben!

[@ellisowendaniel]

I think I would have gone after the grenadier squad with the predator at the end if it was that close on last man standing and avoided snap shooting.

[@petercarlson8240]

Good one! Glad you're back. Any chance those RFStudios custom dice will be available for purchase? They're nice in the Alpha Legion green-ish.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

It is something we are looking into. So keep an eye out for when we get it together 🙂

[@TheMightyVojka]

A good watch whilst I work on my iron hands :) Also what model is that for the militia force commander? looks sick

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Not sure. We’ll ask Ben :)

[@danielfarrell3534]

I see you guys do Scout after Seize. See a lot of different opinions on the correct order i don't know what to think anymore 😆

[@RiftForgeStudio]

I think people will interpret it how they wish but the devil is in the detail for me. Seize is worded to determine who takes the first turn, Scout says ‘before the first player begins the first turn… ‘ etc. so I think it sets an order of precedence. A one liner in an FAQ would make it clear though.

[@danielfarrell3534]

@RiftForgeStudio people who say before the seize argue its a redeploy so happens in the deployment stage. I don't see where it says redeployment has to be in the deployment stage though. I like it being after the seize.

[@RiftForgeStudio]

Yeah it doesn’t state that. It just says before the first turn. So after the seize makes sense.

[@jbumgarn]

More Blood Angels battle reports please!

[@RiftForgeStudio]

More on the way!

[@Swarzyc]

how to make taurox on wheels?

[@piotrszneider3168]

Great !!!
