Oh my god that goliath just staring down the corpse grinder, challenging him to charge and then swatting him down like a fly! A M A Z I N G

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

LOL that card is a one trick pony but what a trick! The funny part is I knew he had it but I'm like it would take a 4 to hit, 3 to wound and still a 1 or 2 save fail for me to even have a chance at going down...The card was one thing but the roll was so crucial. Had it not happened...it might have been game over. Such a good game!

[@DislocatedDesign]

Superb, the rain and mist in the opening visuals is so atmospheric and I really enjoyed the scenario with the heroic blocking manoeuvres of the Thunderhawks.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! I thought about keeping the rain throughout the report but figured it might get distracting. Thank you for the feedback. :)

[@Voicespider]

This couldn't have been a better battle. Brutal, lots of melee, absolutely a thing of beauty.

[@keving2726]

This production quality is amazing. Keep up the great work.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! We are having fun with them.

[@daneerickson8796]

Great stuff! I had been missing necromunda badly! Too many seemed to jump over to new kill team for their skirmish battles. It has a great ruleset, but is just nowhere near as narrative.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah we’ll be diving into kill team as well but Necromunda will always be a staple on this channel. Thanks for watching!

[@battlebrotherguy]

What a Game! What an Opening! Toxic Rain melting that beautiful terrain. MGM returning with AUTHOR-IT-TIE! Well played all around. There is a reason Goonhammer listed MGM! Too be fair I am a little disappointed the sumpcroc didn't get to crunch any Corpse grinders 😉 Welcome Back Indeed Cheers

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks BBG! Had a lot of fun playing this one. Appreciate the comment. :)

[@darkodargon4230]

welcome back good too see battle reports up

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! Good to be back. :)

[@ArdWulf]

Welcome back...the lad's play was excellent. I really like this version of the scenario...using denizens adds some depth and provides a bit of realism (if You will). The hive is afterall teeming with a variety of people. NPC's are a facet I've been itching to include... Great job as always Cheers!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback! Good to be back!

I've just started learning Necromunda and picked the Corpse Grinders as my first gang. Been jumping between the Core and cult rulebooks and this channel in order to learn the game. Looking at Van Saar down the road too.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Awesome! Corpse Grinders can be so good! We don’t play them to their potential a bit on purpose. They really have some deadly tactics cards and combinations though

[@TheOmnissiah]

Excellent, I've been starved for some underhive action lately. I always have a wicked grin when the Corpse Grinders get a good thrashing... even more so when they get copped to pieces in close combat! >:) I take it that you got the book I mailed?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Haha, I think a few people here would agree with you. I did I sent you a thank you on Instagram although it’s down right now. :) Really appreciate that and the tea!

[@TheOmnissiah]

@@MiniatureGameMontage Awesome! Hmm, facebook seems to be down as well... The Enforcers must be clamping down on heretical communications ;)

[@tomwinkelspecht7796]

Great board awareness by the Goliath gang.

[@jschwa7390]

Give an at-boy to your son well done sir. Good game guys and loved the atmosphere in the beginning. By the way thanks for the graffiti mark, so sweet. Your miniatures/scenery are painted really well. Take care looking forward to next one.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Will do, J. Thanks for your support. :) The story will continue!

[@craigjones7343]

I’ve been watching the channel for a little while now and really started to get into you Necromunda battle reports. I figured it was time to dive into your back catalog and it is just as good as your more recent video. Thanks for sharing your hobby with all of us.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! It’s crazy how many videos are in the library now. I’m working on another one today 🙂

[@markoplo2008]

Love this necromunda content. Haven't played it since it first came out in 95 but really want to get back into it.. New subscriber here keep up the great videos... 👍

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks Marko! Hope you enjoy!

[@codywinig9894]

Nice to see you back ... Now lets get into this one. Love the work brother.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks Cody! This was a good one I thought. Hope you enjoy!

[@rikokrates6298]

Welcome back and great game as always, that body blocking was a great idea! What a heroic juve! Rain in the underhive? Must be some broken coolant piping somewhere.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Ahaha. Acid rain of course! 😂

[@misterymaybe5584]

Great bat rep, really enjoyed the tactics and cleaver play from the Goliaths! Can’t wait for the next Munda upload!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks for watching. Yeah we talked about the Willpower deal and how it was going to be hard to handle. I still don't necessarily think it would end this way if we played the same game and made the same moves. That is what makes this game so special.

[@SebbStrife]

Good choice on the Stimmer inclusion 😉😁

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

He's a baaaaaad man! Those paired pulverizers do work!

Necromunda is an interesting game thats for sure. I love a good skirmish game.

Good to have you back and way to come back with a bang! Great battle..not gonna say I called it but.. 😏 really liked the hivers instead of creatures too.

😂 lol honestly I thought he was going to be pissed again bc I kicked his butt. I had a great time playing it out. His rolls were hot! Thank you as always!

Good to get another one out. Been a crazy month!

[@joejones3387]

really enjoying these videos and the way you summarise the battles, makes it easy to follow and enjoyable to watch. As a result i will be looking to get into the TT of this so thank you for the great work and inspiration

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! That makes it all feel very worth it 😀

[@joejones3387]

That middle table is so close now its fun to guess who might pull off a late comeback - at the start i would not have thought the Delaque gang would do so well - when is the next round?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@joejones3387 We're planning Bolt Action next and then another game of Necromunda. :) So it will be up over the next few weeks depending on when we can set everything up and play.

Great video

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks for watching!

[@FrostWolfPack]

Exselent combat scenario

[@RikkaCherri]

Im very new to necromunda and im starting to think that tactics can be crazy strong. So far every battle ive seen has been swayed by use of tactics

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I would agree. In some cases they help give balance and in others they can completely alter the game. Some are downright broken. It kind of feels like 40k stratagems to an extent but you only have to be aware of a few things your opponent can do. You can elect not to use them which we did for a long time. Thanks for watching and for the comment.

[@rikokrates6298]

Yeah, they certainly can be, a lot of people don't use them for that reason. When I play we house rule their usage.

[@RikkaCherri]

@@MiniatureGameMontage Your welcome. It seems like a fun game and I look forward to finally getting a game in :D

[@RikkaCherri]

@@rikokrates6298 Having seen what ive seen im tempted to not use them XD

[@rikokrates6298]

@@RikkaCherriI mean they can be really fun and a lot of them synergise well with the appropriate gangs while others can be really flavourful and add a sense of how each gang should operate. I'd recommend a ban list, certain cards are always used and are really obnoxious. You could also have a draft system too.

[@XDfunnyguy]

first episode in a while where a new recruit wasnt killed on their first outing, a good streak to break lol

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Right I'm surprised by the amount of double 6s that have been rolled. Been a deadly campaign!

[@eftyextenebra1837]

Always happy to see corpsegrinders get their teeth kicked in! :D Consider getting some cheap warhammer ghouls to use as underhive creatures?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

That’s a great idea! I will look at some of those. Thanks!

[@sjaugust1]

Rolls in this game are brutal.

[@nghusband]

Fuck ya love the griff art! Thanks

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Awesome! I'm not very skilled at doing it but I liked yours as well! Thanks again!

[@callsignkit6930]

Having the ability to deny a charge and/or shooting attack is amazing until it doesn't work, then it backfires. Perhaps a medium to the infiltration issue, what about allowing the infiltrators to deploy on the other board edges, or allowing reinforcements to infiltrate?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

The board edge deal could work. If reinforcements could infiltrate, however, they would be able to take the wounded fighter out no prob. Allowing another board edge of deployment keeps the flavor there. I like that.

[@ryanphillips5126]

I cannot express how much I wanted these two muscle gangs to clash, and it went pretty much the way I wanted. I could literally see in my minds eye these behemoths slamming into each other while some normies hiver reconsiders why he and his friend would try to stand up to the gangs. XD

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Awesome! Great way to think of it!

[@user-ce6vo5tw5t]

You can change Infiltrate to DOUBLE move from deployment zone for model with this talant before start 1 round. It's not bad for both side.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Great idea! I’ll have to consider that for some scenarios.

[@pogsothoth]

15:25 "Do you have ANY IDEA HOW F*CKED YOU ARE"

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Stimmers baby! 😂

[@ObiWanReksu]

Continue the good work of spreading love for necromunda. I feel your houserule skewed the game balance from being in favor of the cgc to being in favor of Goliath too much. Some missions are made for certain gangs and some are not. Anyways thanks for the video. :)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Will do. Will have another one up soon. Thanks for watching!

[@jimmygallagher9843]

What models do you use for the hivers? Apologies if I've asked this before!!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

No worries! Most of the time I use Mantic’s Walking Dead starter box.

[@uvbeenmoused]

Awesome battle report, nice effect setting the scene, well done great work. Dont you get a -1 for shooting someone on the floor or didnt it matter with short range bonus?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! :) You only get the -1 for shooting at someone prone from long range.

[@uvbeenmoused]

@@MiniatureGameMontage thanks that's good to know that it's only at long range. Will be very useful on my next campaign game. Again great work and cant wait for the next video. :)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@uvbeenmoused Anytime bud. Just remember if they are in cover they are considered "in hiding." :) So short range and no cover only.

[@protomandln.0003]

That acid vat is awesome! Is that custom or off-the-shelf?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! It’s just a 3D print I found on thingiverse.

[@dsanchez23fight]

Crazy to just flood your board with water

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Worse! I started to find it leaving a residue as it's not water based. Love the effect but stopped doing it after that.

[@superluckyhappylife2358]

What hiver model do you use?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

These are Mantic’s The Walking Dead models. Cheers!

[@Leo-dn9un]

please do more hanging out for the next one :)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Always more coming. :) They just take a lot of time to put together.

[@lootnscoot50]

Haven’t seen the results, but omg it dosent look great for the goliaths, they have to move in, then move out while the corpse grinders basically get to tee off on them. Crossing my fingers for the good guys (Goliath!)

[@AKvanguard]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I share your excitement 😀

[@Mr.Hotman]

@@MiniatureGameMontage Sorry for the late message, but I am a great fan of your Necromunda content. Are you sure though that paired and second weapon add up? Anyways, great work!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@Mr.Hotman no problems at all. Paired doubles your attack value. Having two melee and/or sidearm gives you one extra attack. Does that help?

[@Xarcht]

Little Carl isn't a GW Miniature is he?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

No he is Walking Dead from Mantic

[@UndeadKing_5150]

2 cocked dice but rerolled only one. Corpse grinders kinda got done on this one due to the loss of infiltrate. CGC always seems to be a bit funny though for this channel

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

😀 we try to keep everything balanced. But yeah the corpse grinders have the needle ways so they can infiltrate over half the gang.

[@666MABE]

Don’t the Goliath have to make a will check to shoot at champions ?
