Great game, if a little insane. A game that long and with that many extra tests must have been tough to stay engaged with on your own without someone to chat with and appreciate crazy rolls along the way. Thanks for sticking it through! I am very glad this wasn't rolled up for one combat gang and one shooty one.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! It was a long one for sure. I'm glad the gangs were fighting against the same handicap. Nobody was really OP in this one.

[@mikealpha2611]

The goofyness that can happen in Necromunda is part of the charm.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

💯

[@Voicespider]

Full props for making it through this game without losing your momentum or patience. I can't imagine how exhausting this one must have been with all the tests. Good job all around and a very interesting scenario. Keep up the good work!!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, friend!

[@grantmills2557]

still m most favourite necro battle reports. Keep it up! i just love it. and i always recommend it to other ppl to learn the game cause u make the rules very clear.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, friend! 🙂 It’s not always the best scenario but I try to make it special.

[@grantmills2557]

@@MiniatureGameMontage ah necro isnt about fair scenarios. its about getting over the odds by dice rolls ^^

[@jamiemoresco3885]

Great battle report! Not a big fan of scenario that make gangs attack their own gang members but it's chaos & fanatics 🤪 so it makes sense. Always glad to see new gangs added to the channel. Keep up the great content.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, friend! It was a bit difficult to play. Felt like a big slap fight. 😆

[@atragonx7939]

Well that was a rage-fueled slap fight if I ever saw one.😅

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Totally! Lol you had to be there. 😂

[@kingcrab7837]

I'm exploring Necromunda and got to say this was very entertaining. I love the theme behind the battle and could just picture everyone slowly going insane and trying to direct that insanity onto the enemy. Though Nine died he was a beast

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! For his one attack he held his own pretty well!

[@kromyrthedamned3457]

Chaotic carnage. Gotta love it! Friends and I finally had a 2-3 practice games before we start a campaign. These videos have been a great inspiration. Thanks buddy!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thank you for watching! 🙂 Best of luck and have fun!

[@jonathanholmes3149]

You make fantastic battle reports. Thanks for your hard work! This game was mental.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, bud!

[@dokb1942]

Sweet! More Necromunda! Great game, those mechanics made it chaotic… by design 🤔 the dark Gods are watching 😮

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

It was...tough I'll put it that way. I can't imagine a gang like Goliath with close combat prowess being involved. But we pick the matchup before randomly generating the scenario so we get some crazy stuff sometimes.

[@dokb1942]

@@MiniatureGameMontage I think that it would have been a much shorter game with a Goliath gang, they would have killed themselves in the first round, lol.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@dokb1942 ahahaha. Maybe, still wounding on 4s unarmed. I wouldn’t want to play them in the scenario that’s for sure.

[@1701Emperor]

This scenario is in my top 3 for most frustrating Scenario overall and the absolute top contender for most frustrating for any gang that prefers to stay out of melee. This was a very good showcase of exactly why I find it so frustrating! 😅

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Hey glad I could help others understand what they are getting into. 😂 I didn’t particularly enjoy it to be fair. Maybe the willpower test to shoot in top of -2 and bloodlust. It’s just too much.

[@1701Emperor]

@@MiniatureGameMontage Exactly! My friend who runs a Goliath gang had a blast with this scenario, but my brother, who runs Van Saar, and me, who runs Enforcers, really disliked it, and for good reason! It is simy too punitive for ranged gangs.

[@HeadCannonPrime]

Great game. I'm hoping to try my hand at filming a batrep one of these days. Since you add voiceover in post, do you narrate as you play or just take notes?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I call out everything that’s happening. Then I’ll reference it if I need to when I’m narrating. It really helps in case you don’t remember what happened. Cheers!

[@Mrnub-bg9lt]

Yeah! Ive been lookin forward to this one!

[@philosophyofcarry]

Running this playlist in the background finishing up some terrain - 20:16 Redemtionist deacon reduced opponent to 0 wounds with the evicerator in melee - should have triggered sever (out of action) - instead you rolled up a flesh wound! Just a catch I thought I'd mention, gg can't wait for more!

Always enjoy your battle reports

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, friend!

[@SkaredCast]

Awesome game as usual!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! A very oddball scenario for the gangs we had but still enjoyable.

[@IdioticSynergy]

Redemptionists is always great to see

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

They are really awesome. The scenario didn't showcase it.

[@IdioticSynergy]

@@MiniatureGameMontage true but I do enjoy my flamey bois lmao

[@doorman654]

Miniature Game Montage Necromunda!!!!!!

[@danroberts007]

Okay, that was a crazy battle. I've been playing in an Ash Wastes campaign and this has some shades of the comical masochism we've been forced into with that fiasco festival. Surprising finish and kind of surprising that ANY ganger on EITHER side ever fired a gun! lol. I was worried you'd forgotten about Interference for this battle, but then you did bring it up partway through... Necromunda is such a complicated game to keep track of all the rules across the various books, but you've played so much at this point you've really got it nailed down very well. I've got a Cawdor gang and haven't assembled any of my Redemptionists; I may need to get that taken care of in 2023. Oh! And Angmar... I think that cultist is a 'She' not a 'He' iirc. I'll need to take a second look at that mini to verify, though. Always happy to see Necromunda on the channel. Thank you! :-D

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, friend! I think you're right. I'll try to correct that moving forward. Thanks for watching! :)

[@guntahnotarealname8817]

Okay, you know a fourty minute video is going to be some serious carnage.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I wish it were true! 😂 Ended up being a lot of checks and two gangs slapping each other

[@bitcoinyoda8321]

The kid rolls dice like a maniac! 💪

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Oh I know. 🤣

[@heretical_hobbyist]

Love the new Cultst gang! Hopefully the next scenario they partake in will play a bit more to their strengths and give them a chance to grow.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah I was pretty pumped to get them painted. I did about 17 or 18 of them so they have a lot of room to grow.

[@Marlerc11]

This scenario is bonkers. Imagine playing a shooty house vs ogryn or corpse grinders. I just wouldn't agree to play haha. Do you guys play with a lot of house rules?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Oh I know. Would get totally slaughtered. I think we were lucky to not see something like that :D For House rules, not so much. I try to play RAW but I do only roll once on the lasting injuries table.

[@kal_spriggs]

Enjoyed the batrep, scenarios like this that introduce such a random element can either be fun or massively frustrating, I've found.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Right! The checks were getting a bit old...and it eliminated shooting completely. We kept with it though 😀

[@kal_spriggs]

@@MiniatureGameMontage I think having to make one roll for control was harsh enough, the willpower to be able to shoot was too much on top of that, it seemed to completely negate any chance to shoot. I can't help but think some factions like Van Saar and maybe some Orlock builds would be almost totally negated in this scenario

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@kal_spriggs that’s funny I just said that in another comment. It’s true. Just a little too much going on.

[@thedwarfdave]

It was fun to see Helot Cultists make a debut. Seems like the scenario changed everyone's game plan.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah not my favorite. In reading it I’m like, “cool.” Halfway in I’m like, “erma gherd.”

[@marcusflutist1230]

20:31 Eviscerator has Sever, it's an automatic out of action

[@gregwhite6005]

I'd love to know where you got your stl files from for the terrain

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Almost everything I use that's 3d printed comes from thingiverse. Just search zone mortalis. Cheers!

[@The_Guild_Mages_Forum]

Great to see some new factions!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Aye! And more coming!

So hype for this

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

🙂I hope it's enjoyable. Weird scenario.

[@superluckyhappylife2358]

@@MiniatureGameMontage good to try something new.keep trying.

[@te9591]

Random question: Do you have any ruling on bionics canceling out an injury and then enhancing the limb/body etc? Or do you just see the bionics repair the injury by buffing on top of an injured stat, no additional enhancement.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

So unfortunately I haven't played or ran with bionics yet. I guess that's something I still need to learn myself. I'm sure it will happen soon. 😀

[@lordnazara7320]

At 20:10 you wound a guy with a weapon with the sever trait and then roll a flesh wound for the injury. Sever means you don't roll an injury dice, it's an automatic out of action.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Whoops! Correct I think it was sever and something else. My mind was wrapped around a 6 to kick it off. Thanks for watching!

[@LohnPondai]

Really nice battle rep! Weird mission though. 😅 Have to ask since Im learning 33:08, Angmar is attacked by the guy with the eviscerator who gets one hit. Couldnt she use his chainsword to parry (make him repeat the roll)? Didnt really matter as she made her armour saving throw.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yes absolutely. We get ahead of ourselves sometimes. 🙂 Parry means reroll a hit. Chainswords are fantastic for CC weapons.

[@paulthetyyppi]

Where is that terrain from?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

A mixture of Dark Uprising terrain and zone mortalis compatible terrain from thingiverse (3d printed)

[@GeneralMcCracker]

Hi guys, what's the Battlemat you are using? Cheers from Austria

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I'll be visiting Austria in July. 🙂 The mat is from Skirmish-mats.com. From what I'm told, EU shipping can be very expensive. You can use my channel name as a discount code, all one word. Best!

[@GeneralMcCracker]

@@MiniatureGameMontage Thanks for the tip - never saw it before and liked the print. Don't miss the Hofjagd- and Rüstkammer (Royal Armoury) in Vienna or the Zeughaus (Burgher Armoury) in Graz ;)

[@jamiesonbishop8961]

When Flea charges Ezekiel at 19:50 you forgot to implement the sever ability on the evicerator. Flea should have been automatically taken out of action. otherwise great battle report!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

We did. Good catch. I'm always amazed at the details people catch.

[@brunofrance4776]

If only the helot cultists had a chaos spawn on the board

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Aye!

[@Le_Petit_Lapin]

I hate that scenario, its so frustrating when your own gang starts fighting your own models!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah...totally get that. I try to give my overall feelings at the end as well to help people judge if it would be fun for them or not.

[@SirKillianAtreides]

That bloodlust rule is stupid af... i would have bottled 1st turn

[@joejones3387]

Carnage. Can imagine the guys in complete confusion. “Don’t attack me! I’m on your side!” “Look mate I’ve told you once now stop it.” Great scenario when it plays out this way. Imagine it could snowball fast if you high roll too much though for hits and wounds - some lucky escapes in the first round alone!

[@Adalon-]

these modifiers were absolute ass lol. I feel bad for the players.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah…😂
