Necromunda Battle Report S3E3 House Escher vs Corpse Grinder Cult

[@corkey2077]

Every time I watch your games I think to myself ”i must finish painting my terrain and get some games done"

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Maximum effort! :)

[@battlebrotherguy]

The aesthetic looks so darned good. It's worth that set up time. Noticed the increase in "graffitti" very suave touch there ;) The Young Man is to be commended for that incredibly disciplined decision. Cagey early move. Beware Father for the Son learns well at the knee. :D Always a p!easure, thanks for sharing with us. Cheers

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thank you as always! He's getting so much better. He would have totally chanced it though if he won the last priority.

[@sylntghost007]

Your battle reports are so enjoyable.the way you setup your terrain is awesome.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Glad you like them! I'm all about the immersion.

[@MultiLordHelmchen]

thanks for the battle report! I really like your style of reporting and the board is just amazing - very atmospheric!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! We try to make it that way :)

[@commonwombl]

Easily the best Necromunda batreps around. Love the styling, these have inspired me to get back into the game.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@seangregory1444]

Very cool that you're using the hobby to hang out with your son, even if he got a little bit beaten this game. Fantastic work as always!

[@ebadger82]

Amazing stuff as always, and big respect for showing Carl some love at the start. He is an incredible artist that does so much for the community.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thank you. I totally agree!

[@rikokrates6298]

Yeah, those posters look awesome!

[@adammeney8841]

Very cool. I love the posters. They really add a lot to the aesthetics of the zone. I think Esher made the right call to boost at the right time. It was about to get really messy up there.

[@danbanks1010]

Solid tactic to bottle when you did, it's a tough game when in campaign mode and injuries start to pile up, well played.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, Dan. Appreciate the watch and the comment.

[@Dubstyles84]

I really enjoy your bettle reports, have binged all Necromunda content you've made in a couple of days. Not to nit-pick, but combi-weapons track ammo separately for each half, so the bolt gun should have been able to fire without needing a reload action after the needler failed its ammo roll.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Right! Thank you for pointing that out. :)

[@Voicespider]

That ending was not what I was expecting at all, but probably for the best all in all. Thank you for the poster link as I saw them once and then forgot about them and want to add them to our terrain. Loved the terrain setup for this match and wished we could have seen more.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks you’re all caught up! Next episode coming soon. :)

[@benmehner4065]

Used to play WHFB (Skaven) and 40k (Chaos) many years ago. A friend mentioned that he used to play this and that he bought the newest Necromunda box set. I started looking into it and bought a Corpse Grinder Cult Gang. Can't wait to get them painted and start playing!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Nice! They are so brutal. We "under utilize" them a bit on purpose. Need to make the games fun! They can definitely be the pain train of gangs!

[@frankodonnell5247]

Another excellent battle report with models & terrain looking top notch, keep them coming please 👍😊

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, the story must go on! :)

[@Freeourfriends]

Brilliant as always, love the graffiti tags. Would have loved to see the conclusion but totally understand your sons tactics. Well played young man.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Me too! Life lessons from Necromunda. Sometimes it's better to cut your losses and get out. :)

[@EmperorsTeeth]

Making my own SM and ZM terrain whilst watching these is pretty inspiring.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Nice! Everything is modular so never two setups that are the same. Hope you enjoy. :)

[@andresc3356]

Outstanding report! You have the best and most inmersive necromunda videos I’ve ever watched 👏👏👏

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.

[@BubonicX1]

Love your reports! Only recently found them and have been loving them, one rules note is I believe you mentioned when the ammo check failed for the smoke grenade it would be deleted from the fighters card but it should only be unusable for the rest of the battle. Save you from buying a ton of grenades!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! I'm happy you found us. And you are correct, it's deleted for the battle. :)

[@gustavosmith7648]

As always loving the Necromunda battle reports

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! We’re about to start workin on the next one

[@Circuz36GamingChannel]

I am building the biggest necromunda table right now and it stresses me out haha. Good report!

[@Shironokaminari]

Very Cool Scenario. Amazing looking (as always) I really thought things were going to get very 'tight' on the tower...and then the Escher were so very sly in slinking out the backway. Smart moves indeed. I love how a great game teeters on every dice roll. Were it not for the bone shrine, I would be tempted to call it a little "w" for the Slice n Dice em boys and a "W" for the ladies of venom by not losing precious combat power for a few creds. As it is well done by both pulling out strategic moves. Now the intermittable intermission. If only there were something to ease the passing...now what did I do with that darned schedule? Another fantastic vid! Cheers

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thank you! Always look forward to your feedback. :)

[@dc1316]

Loved this report, it’s amazing to see how your videos have evolved over time. The light use of ‘effects’ is perfect, most people go over the top but the gas and shots was really well done. If I was going to leave a comment for future improvements it would be that one of the Escher lasgun sounds was a rifle bullet sound not a laser one like you did with the plasma pistol. Other than that keep going you and your boy are doing great 👍🏿

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Good feedback. Thanks you as always! :)

[@jcosta.16]

Great content as usual. Love the new additions to the board.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Much appreciated! Thanks for watching.

[@christianlawrence2714]

Escher playing the long game. Must have passed their INT check. Cheers!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah it wasn’t going to be good. I think going in we kind of knew that bc everyone is trying to get to one point which means you’re coming to the grinders, but still a gas template could have drastically changed that

[@666MABE]

Glad to see more battle reports!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks for tuning in. :)

[@adamphilip-phillips3794]

Love watching your videos, I binge each Season! Your videos quality keeps getting better and better :D

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! I certainly try to make a good production with what I have to work with.

[@PMMagro]

The board is gorgeous. Flames of War used to have good looking smoke in varied grey shades. I am waiting for my bits to a baord and bingewatch theese now.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks for watching and for your comment. :)

[@misterymaybe5584]

Great battle report! Thanks for sharing and putting in all the hard work! Fantastic job

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Our pleasure!

[@misterymaybe5584]

I couldn’t see the Uk Amazon link did you put one up?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@misterymaybe5584 I "think" the link may be for both. When you visit Amazon everything still looks the same. I think only purchases from US and UK will qualify. I guess it's a good time to test it.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@misterymaybe5584 The bigger question is did you see your mark? :D

[@MrLeonarddime]

Very nice as usual mate.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks, buddy.

[@Valkanna.Nublet]

They came, they saw, they ran away.

[@BrokenKrayon]

It's because of this channel I'm buying the dark uprising box and going to teach my son to play

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Love to hear that. :)

[@Guvguvmcguv]

Ditto. Can’t wait for him to get back from Uni Lockdown.

[@darkj3di666]

While the choice to bottle out was indeed a wise move, the Grinder player in me can't help but scoff at those kinds of unworthy, cowardly tactics... Kidding aside, great video as always!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Oh it was going to be glorious. lol I had the Icon giving extra movement that would have easily gotten them into combat.

[@rikokrates6298]

Tactical play there, defo running the long game, those damn initiates are so good, infiltrate is so disruptive. Board and terrain look good, how'd you do the yellow pools of goo?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks. Nurgle's Rot technical paint. I do that and the Blood for the Blood God paint after varnish so they pop.

[@roblindsay3422]

Great batrep, can totally understand the bailout, Corpsegrinders are tough when they get going

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah the latest report against them was a train wreck. lol

[@sakara4]

Solid rep as always. only have one remark this time =D the smoke grenade is not limited so it wont be removed from the card just for the game. I was thinking about what you said about games going to fast. We have the opposite thing. Our games are almost never below two hours and I think the record is 8-9 hours but that was a 5 way gangmoot so.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks as always. And right they don't have to purchase them again. Just lost for the game. :)

[@lastredever]

Great episode thanks for the battle report

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.

[@Walkingdeath_69]

Great battle report!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks - was a little quicker than we would have liked...setting up all that terrain, lol

[@apopenotthepope]

Amazing production value as always, I love keeping up with your games. I didn't think you were supposed to collect +1 rep each game for the settlement in the post battle sequence, I thought it was a one-off - am I playing that wrong?

[@danielblackmore220]

How many sets of wall and columns did you get because I love the amount you have of them on your battle reps

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

There’s approximately 2 boxes of dark uprising if that gives you an idea. I blend in some kill team sector mechanicus as well to break it up.

[@l.w.1014]

Many missed shots there. The walls of the underhive have gained a lot of bullet holes today. Also some blood spatters.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yes and when only one gang really shoots that tends to be a big problem for them. :P Thanks for watching!

[@dc1316]

DC right at the beginning 😍

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Yeah for some you may watch it and completely not even know it was you.

[@atkmonkey]

Your son is a smart player, and he plays the long game!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I like to think so as well. I coach him quite a bit but ultimately I will let him make the decision on what he wants to do.

[@protomandln.0003]

Was hoping to see a shot on the CG causing him to fall, potentially twice lol

[@CptnHammer1]

late to the party but your terrain and scenarios are amazing!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Glad you're here :) Better late than never! Thanks for watching!

[@666MABE]

Where are you getting the weapon effects?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Productioncrate. It's part of their freebies.

[@andresc3356]

How many of those 3x3 tiles do you use?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

The board is 36x36 so it's a lot. I'm not sure I would go that route if I had it over again.

[@LearnTrainPlay]

if you fail your check for shooting at a guy with corpse grinder mask, do you lose remaining actions? so if you shoot first and want to move, can you still move?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

If a mask is terrifying, like those on cutters and butchers it just says their “action” ends immediately if they fail. So yes, you could still move or even try to shoot again Bc you didn’t successfully perform the original action. We played for a long time that your activation ended and that’s not actually how it’s worded. Hope that helps!

[@LearnTrainPlay]

@@MiniatureGameMontage yes thank's playing against CGC for the first time on saturday, wanted to know what I can do.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@LearnTrainPlay Try to pick on initiates that will force bottle checks. I would avoid getting charged in any circumstance. Use template weapons such as grenade launchers, flamers, etc and target the ground, not them. That avoids their willpower checks. They are very fast and will cover ground quickly so keep them pinned. Best of luck! :D

[@LearnTrainPlay]

@@MiniatureGameMontage thanks, first game in the campaign so have no blast or template weapons yet, using escher, lots of long range shooting but it will be in zone mortalis. not at all in my favour

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

​@@LearnTrainPlay Yeah that's going to be tough. Let me know what happens. :D

[@HeadCannonPrime]

Early Bottle tests are inevitable in Nedcromunda.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Right! And if you roll low on your starting crew the game can be quick, lol

[@DamBrooks]

Do you ever play Blood Bowl at all? You might enjoy it 😮🏈🏃

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I just played my first game of Blitz Bowl. It’s on the channel. I thought it was a lot of fun.

[@roselinprimrose1637]

good game short lo but this is round 1 it can get owe lay get batter in round 2 and with that being said first round of my campaign ended taken a month break before game 2 dark up rising but any way as I said last game 10 orlock vs servitors factory of 8 ogryn servitors 1 servitor and 2 luuger cargo servitors 5 got out with 1 lugger cargo servitor

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thank you as always. :)

[@ArdWulf]

While I don't know how You two decide to equip the factions, one unmistakable tactical error is to leave any model without a CCW (of some sort) all alone to themselves. The Maiden, and ultimately the gang, paid the price for this...so either give everyone the means to defend themselves in melee or pair someone up to support those that haven't the ability. Unarmed attacks just suck too much. Regardless, well done BATREP...and nice touch(es) with the honorariums for your supporters.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! Will look into that. We changed some stuff last minute to add another body. Thank you for the feedback. :)

[@rikokrates6298]

I dunno man, at gang creation cash is so tight, I'd much rather have more bodies than spending money on extra weapons, though a stiletto knife could have been real tasty there though.

[@richmcgee434]

"Unarmed attacks just suck too much." Outside of Van Saar, anyway. Archeotechs with free alpha Torsonic cybertech are doing 3 damage with unarmed strikes, and 2 attacks at 4+ to hit really isn't all that bad. Even after you upgrade to beta and start carrying a power weapon it's sometimes worth just slapping someone if the target doesn't have a great armor save or toughness.

[@ArdWulf]

@@rikokrates6298 Agreed on both counts...but my point does have two sides...in the case of no CCW, that figure is destined to die if left alone...which depending on the tactical situation, may be acceptable...such as drawing attention and resources from the main event, acting as a meat shield, or schlepping loot cases. In the end, that body needs to be used to its own level of credit expense. To the lad's credit (yeah, pun) he did occupy a ganger for two rounds, so....

[@ArdWulf]

@@richmcgee434 No one I play against uses Van Saar (frown) - as of yet, anyway. Isn't an Archeotech an upgraded ganger (ie: more credits)?

[@richmcgee434]

That was quick, albeit not terribly bloody. Typical early campaign play where you're better off limiting casualties even if it costs you the game.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I agree. Afterwards I was like...well now we have to spend an hour taking down all the terrain we just spent an hour putting together.

[@charleshill1376]

I'm planning on using worldeaters Jakhels for a necromunda ash waste CGC gang

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Would be awesome!

[@Yarkoonian]

didnt escher get a lot of cool poison stuff?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

They did but to start I wanted bodies. Like Goliath and genesmithing. Tried to put points more bodies

[@flashheart69]

Real shame it ended anticlimactically, but nevertheless a great battle report on a great table

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Right as a corpse grinder, (clears throat) I mean creator, I want to see things get crazy. But dice happen and decisions must be made :P

[@ABIGPLAN]

I don't know why I keep clicking on these necromunda battle reports hoping to see Escher win for at least once. This gang is like allergic to winning.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

lol it's crazy because they were our season 2 winners!
