We mess up the "grenade" special rule. Don't roll the fire power dice. Just take the ammo check! ;) We also had two clips with audio trouble.

[@Become_The_Hero]

Great battle report despite this! Really immersive.

[@patonyecla9201]

What a fight! i was so invested i even shouted when that memorable death was rolled!

[@patonyecla9201]

and the game ends when only seriously injured fighters remains for one side Pd sorry for the chain of comments, i hope its the last

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Me too! Diva was so good! Escher won a lot of priority rolls when they needed them the most. There were a few key points where the game could easily swing in either direction.

[@rikokrates6298]

@@MiniatureGameMontage Yeah, priority can really make or break a game regardless of how well you plan for damage mitigation.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@rikokrates6298 Agreed. At some point a bit of luck is involved. Like anything in life really. You can set up the best plan but sometimes you just need a little luck.

[@ebadger82]

What an incredible fight! I've never been so tense about dice rolls (outside of my own games), cheering on escher and always hoping for that 6 on the dodge, or a half decent injury roll. Well played both and another amazing battle report. 😀

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! In watching it, I totally blew the Mistress of Death card. That's a great card! I should have seen that template weapon coming and stayed out of it.

[@ebadger82]

@@MiniatureGameMontage Web weapons are some of the most unforgiving, and those recovery rolls were unkind to you. With all the tactics cards being thrown around I genuinely believed the death maiden was going to solo the delaque gang!

[@levimahan2393]

What a match! The underdog can never be counted out in necromunda.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Agreed!

[@daneerickson8796]

what a crazy game! I'm glad you let the scenario be tense instead of trying to steamroll. Such a great report.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah for me, Necromunda is a fun and light hearted game. Not to say that playing seriously wouldn’t be fun. It’s just not our goal.

[@jackduncan5311]

One of the best games on the channel, poor Escher won most 1's rolled this season and managed to show they weren't gonna be victims of circumstance. 10/10 ladies

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! I appreciate you watching!

[@ededdie757]

What a huge little battle! That was a great game and an unexpected victory! I was going to tell about the grenades but just saw you got that right in the comments. Awesome montage as always, I'm so excited every time I see you have uploaded a new battle report.Loving that electrified fence btw!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! Yeah I caught it after production. I have a lot more new terrain coming. :)

Somehow I missed this on release, but glad I came across it, smashing report as always & found the terrain stuff behind the wire off board as interesting as the game itself :)

[@scelago_games]

That's was great mate!

[@00pugsly48]

A fantastic match! I love this series, you do some of the best batreps on KZbin in my opinion. I’ve found myself quite invested in this escher gang, gotta love an underdog. Keep it up man ✋🏻.

Superb, you're playing my two favourite gangs in this one! I'm rooting for Delaque but we'll see. Time to get a cup of chai tea before I hit play :)

[@stuartmansfield9k]

Great game. Love it when it comes down to a 1v1, even if one bottles out.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yes! Especially with Mr Black who incapacitated two fighters already.

[@TroyTempest777]

Fantastic game! Go Escher💪😎

[@Voicespider]

That was a fantastic battle! I was a bit worried with the sheer number difference but it worked out for the girls in the end.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

They had some terrific luck with their injury rolls! Well, when they were rolling to injury the enemy. Not so much when they were trying to get unwebbed

[@jschwa7390]

Happy New Year Guys!! I was hoping to see that Death Maiden rip up only to be webbed! Good match till the end, great presentation.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Happy New Year!

[@blackcarnival4770]

Very frustrating she didnt get up - I'm learning as I watch these and that card to give a second activation could have been huge

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@blackcarnival4770 Mistress of Death! Really good card! If he rolls a 1 or a 2 he's dead. And the Hyper Stimm for more movement makes her even more deadly.

cool episode! :) 10 turns!!! remember your extra xp for memorable death :D

[@bigphil6980]

another great campaign look forward to the 2022 campaign

[@Crimsonphotog]

Awesome Report as always!! Lots of Critical Injuries are taking their toll. Escher can't come out on top this season, but I think this fight will really hurt House Delaque's chances of hanging on come the final week.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Right! They do have replenishment credits but definitely going to be difficult.

[@HiveHerald]

Another awesome video I’ve started all your Necromunda videos from the beginning and it’s good to see the growth as well.. A question on terrain. I see you have a 3D printer can I ask what files you use for your terrain ‘we buy limbs’ for example and the fences as they look great.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! Both of those terrain pieces are from Saucermen Studios. I appreciate you watching!

[@lanimills3767]

I know it's probably a big ask and probably too hard or not worth the time for you but I'd love to see all aspects of a campaign from you guys, all pre and post game sequences. By far the best necromunda bat reps I've seen anyway, cheers for the awesome content

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! Not completely sure how to incorporate it in a way that’s watchable but will give it some thought. 😀

Found your channel yesterday (Sunday), binge watched season 2 and just finished season 3, like the burning barrels, how do you do them ?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, welcome. The burning part of the barrels is clump foliage glued together. I use a paper clip and a penny to hold it. I’ll have to do a tutorial on them :)

[@oger6946]

Great👍

[@rikokrates6298]

A great memorable death! Overcharged plasma to the dome! It's moments like that that really make Necromunda. How many games left in the season? Not that I want it to end it's just with all the new books and options available since you started it would be great to see what you can do next!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Totally agree! When it happened I was thinking...you just can't make this stuff up. It happens and I just happen to be recording it. It's so good! We have 5 episodes left in season 3. Each gang will have 6 games. I am painting Cawdor, Ogryn, Genestealers and more in secrecy. :)

[@rikokrates6298]

@@MiniatureGameMontage Nice. Looking forward to season 3 already! Still six games to go in this season too. :-)

Sorry if you have answered this a million times: Where did you get the mat you all use?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

It's a Skirmish Mat. I love it. Link in description. :)

[@atragonx7939]

Honestly, the MVP should have gone to the plasma gun. Both sides used them to just delete their targets. Great match, as always. Were the fencing and shop stalls something you 3D printed?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Overcharged! :) yes, the stalls a d fencing are 3D printed. Saucermen studios Flat Line City. More of that coming in the future!

[@PMMagro]

Lovely! How big is that board?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

This one was a 3x3 mapped off to 6 tiles. So the play space was a 3x2. Cheers!

[@mrnaughtycat]

In the old days of necromunda the theme was a Wild West type of game we see that less and less these days

I wish I would have experienced it. I guess technically I still could but all I really know is the new.

[@StephenHenryIV]

Question: Why do you not use any of the Delaque specialist fighters (the Psy-Gheist, Nacht-Ghul, and Piscean Spektor)? I’m genuinely curious. Are they not good? Or is it more a monetary thing?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I don't have them painted! :D They are next after I finish the Ork Kommandos. It's hard finding time to make battle reports and paint. I can't wait to use them. I'm getting a little done on my backlog every night.

[@StephenHenryIV]

@@MiniatureGameMontage all good, I’m starting Delaque. Just wanted to know if they were terrible or why I hadn’t seen any. Look forward to your next vids!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@StephenHenryIV Honestly I have the House of Shadows book and they look really good! to say I'm excited is probably an under-statement. :D

[@StephenHenryIV]

@@MiniatureGameMontage I’ve got some of mine built (Piscean Spektor, Psy-Ghiest with the harness, and the sword Nacht-Ghul). Can’t wait to get a box of Delaque and order their FW kits. I main Van Saar, but “whoops all guns all the time” makes for very static games. I love ‘em, but hopefully Delaque give a bit more varied gameplay. Any tips for Delaque?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@StephenHenryIV If you use tactics cards they have some really crazy ones! Web weapons as you saw are really good. They can take down multi-wound fighters with ease.

We play pets dont give nerve tests, since juves dont either. Cool vid.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I can’t remember that to save my life! I have a mental block for not allowing them to take nerve checks, lol

Juves should be taking nerve tests, its one of the reasons they're cheaper than normal gangers becuse their stats are weaker.

@@Omalley69 That's true, though maybe you're thinking of prospects. Regular juves should be but houserules are great esp for Necromunda, hell, there is a lot to remember and a lot of inconsistencies across the books.

[@JayTeacakes]

I notice in this (20:52) and at least one other game, you mentioned that someone was able to shoot a prone fighter in cover because they are in short range. That's not the case: a prone fighter in cover is effectively invisible regardless of range I think you're getting mixed up with the Lie Low skill (Where prone fighters cannot be targeted unless they are in a weapon's short range).

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

You are correct! Corrections incoming! Thanks for pointing that out.
