Necromunda Montage Battle Report S2E9 Enforcers vs House Goliath

The Hi-Sec Enforcers set out on a mission to destroy the environmental seals that keep Arcos safe. The Iron Skulls will only die on their own terms. The two meet in battle once again in the second half of the campaign.

Seeing these has totally redefined how much terrain I want to use.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Glad I've been able to help. :)

[@Voicespider]

You can really tell just how much advantage higher ground can provide in this battle. Good call pulling the Goliaths back at the end. You can really tell that the players are learning the tactics of the gangs with each engagement.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks. Yes, we are getting better. Thanks for watching these old videos and leaving comments. It’s nice to revisit some of these :)

[@Tabletop_Hobbies]

Hi Guys!! Another great batrep (I am binging these lol)! I have a quick rules clarification, for the knockback rule. It seems like you guys are doing what I was doing, and that is rolling a separate dice after hitting to see the knockback result. It is actually based on the to hit roll being made - "If the hit roll for a weapon with the Knockback trait is equal to or higher than the target’s Strength, they are immediately moved..." so you don't roll a second dice. Fuse would have been pinned on the first shot of the game (hit roll was a 5). Also, a tactics tip for the enforcers using Concussion weapons - it drops the Initiative of the target by 2, so therefore makes your arrest action muuuuch easier to do, even to the largest enemy fighters. Even a lowly Juve can subdue someone, they just go up and declare the action instead of an attack, no to hit roll, it just causes the immediate initiative test. Give it a try, it takes people by surprise!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I'm glad you're enjoying them. It makes all the labor worth it. :) So under normal knockback circumstances it is hit roll based. If the weapon is a blast weapon, however, a separate D6 is rolled per fighter under the template. I think that's what it states at least. I need to try this arrest action! For sure I'll be thinking about it on our next reports. Thanks for watching and for your feedback as always.

[@Tabletop_Hobbies]

​@@MiniatureGameMontage Hmm it does seem that for blast weapons you indeed roll a separate die... not this has me thinking of a question - if only one model is under the template, do you rule it as on the hit roll or roll a separate die? (too many inconsistent Rules in N18 lol this seems a bit counterintuitive). I guess my group has done it as on the hit roll if it is only one affected model, probably just to speed up the game. Here is the rule I am talking about, which your Magnacles (that you get for free on all the enforcers from the FAQ): EQUIPMENT-SPECIFIC ACTIONS ATTACK (BASIC) - with Magnacles: A fighter equipped with Magnacles can try to lock them onto an enemy in base contact as an Attack (Basic) action. The target must make an Initiative check to avoid the attack. If this test is failed they are locked in place and cannot move, cannot make ranged attacks and can only make melee attacks at - 2 to hit. It really shuts them down, as then they have to make a break free action: BREAK FREE (Basic) - Models trapped in Magnacles only: The fighter can attempt to free themselves from the Magnacles by performing a Break Bonds (Double) action. Roll 2D6. If the result is equal or lower than their Strength then they have freed themselves, otherwise they remain trapped. Each friendly fighter in base contact with the target adds 2 to their Strength for the purposes of this roll.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@Tabletop_Hobbies awesome! thanks for sharing :) I'll have to see if we can weave that in in someone gets in a bind

[@joejones3387]

Good game there. Hi Sec rolls were truly awful turn 3/4/5 though - so many missed shots which really let the Iron Skulls slip away. Even a few pins would have kept them in shooting range. Loved watching this battle report

[@JayTeacakes]

Love the table, very good use of the DU terrain and extras. One thing I've noted in previous reports, and I haven't spotted it here, but you're often targeting pinned guys in cover. This is incorrect, anyone Prone (either Pinned or Seriously Injured) who is in partial or full cover is effectively invisible (Pg 64 of the Rulebook) and cannot be shot at.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks for the feedback. I had no idea about that rule. Fighters in hiding on page 38 on the Dark Uprising rulebook. Thanks a lot!

[@superluckyhappylife2358]

So did the enforcer let in the Gas or not? (Spoiler alert)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

It all culminates in the final episode of the season :)

[@Omalley69]

Ogryns for sure. Such a different and cool gang. It really counters autogun spam in my group.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

They are getting quite a few votes. With all we have to paint I'm cool with the lower model count. :P

[@Omalley69]

@@MiniatureGameMontage haha valid point. Id highly recommend printing the tactics cards for delaque (yaktribe). They really makes the delaque feel and play very sneaky.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@Omalley69 for sure. I've got them here somewhere. What are your top tier tactics?

[@Omalley69]

@@MiniatureGameMontage plasmgunwith overseer and fast shot is broken. Ruling that you can only move and stand up with a overseer activation helps alot.

[@rikokrates6298]

@@Omalley69 Yeah, that combo is nasty. Because overseer is so good, we've banned it from our group.

[@roselinprimrose1637]

thank you am going to bring both story with 7 round to decided if there be a part 2 to the dark uprising and for underhive wars I plan a 8 round journey in to the hive serching for architect with no means of gaining credits from turf

[@Michael-ws7rc]

Another good video, thanks friend!

[@johnryan509]

Only recently found your channel, mate and wanted to say that the Necromunda content is great. I have just subbed. Keep up the good work.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks and welcome. :)

[@PMMagro]

I don't know if they are any good orthe playstyle but I love the enforcers theme. Just trying to keep order in the chaotic and dark underhive. Like stopping a flooding river soemtimes...

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Right. You can't stop it. Just try to control it. And take a piece for themselves while doing it . :)

[@adrianhyde-price4342]

Great video for someone like me who is just getting into the game. Many thanks!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Awesome! Welcome to Munda!

[@Allaryc]

In the damnation phase gangs can't be neutral they must choose weather they are chaos or order aligned.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Must have missed that. Thanks for pointing that out. While I put the reports out to grow the hobby I’m still a student of the game.

[@Crimsonphotog]

Another great battle report. The setup really made it interesting with the Hi-Sec on the high ground in the middle but surrounded. Not much full cover up there, yikes. Those grenades failed the hi-sec just couldn't connect at all early.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Glad you enjoyed it. My son wants to build higher but we're still working on terrain. We actually set up the terrain before picking the scenario so it was total coincidence to have this center deployment with the high ground in the middle. I thought it fit the narrative well as they climb higher too. It kind of just all worked out. Thanks for watching!

[@Crimsonphotog]

@@MiniatureGameMontage I know the feeling I just bought the gang hideout but I am not even finished painting all the terrain from the core box yet.

[@jamiemoresco3885]

Another great battle report..Question: how big is the table area you do yalls battle reports in ? 3x3 ... 4x4 ...44"×30" ? Thanks again.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! The tiles are 11x11" and we lay them out 4x4 so 44"x44" in total.

[@kilianlandersman4772]

Very good tactics on both sides.

[@roselinprimrose1637]

hi I like to say that watching all your games am looking forward to doing my own campaign in january to november but any way am voting for orlock to be in your next campaign after all delaque is in it so orlock have to be in it bad blood after all

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks - good luck with your campaign. Hopefully we can provide some inspiration for your own story. :)

Thanks, friend. I appreciate it.

Im not a betting man but if I were High Sec :)

[@sakara4]

Other then that great game as always :)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Glad we got some things corrected. This one took awhile to make. :) Thanks for watching.

[@Freeourfriends]

Great battle report, I've love both series. I did miss the drum beat or louder backing track on this one. How about Orlocks coming into it next?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks. We have 3 more reports to finish out this season. The next campaign will include Delaque and potentially Orlock (depends on the poll I've got up). Orlock is currently leading the vote. Thanks for watching! :)
