[@larrywagner1432]

Absolutely love the table set up for this one. Looks amazing.

[@daemonnexusknight]

I love the narrative of this one and Steve's decision to add to his after hearing all of the Necron's. :D I do think that the Flying 'Eadbutt needs to be changed to happen at the beginning of the movement phase or something. Being able to move, drop bombs, and then explode is a bit much. I also think that the terrain could have been set up better to cut off sight lines. There was almost no impediment except the tree in the center, which was easily circumvented. I am really torn about the damage limit ability on some models. It seems really powerful to me, especially if they also have an Invulnerable Save on top of it, but I haven't faced it yet. What do others think? Thanks for the BatRep!

[@Velgar_Grim]

The damage limit is just bull. It's extremely artificial rule to cover up a problem you don't want to otherwise address. Namely that stuff dies a hella too easy in 40k nowadays. With Gaz and C'tans, you kinda don't want them to be too easy to kill, 'cose they're big bads. With C'tans I have only little idea why they said "no this one doesn't get Character protection" (and then for some reason with Gaz they couldn't say "well, this one does...", but that's another thing...), 'cose frankly... That would just fix it for them. Yeah. They'd be an absolute pain to deal with behind the immortal Necron lines and they'd rain death to anything close or far from there, but... Yeah. You could at least realistically do something to them. I faced a Deceiver that simply destroyed anything it touched. And I could have done the same to it. A very regular glasshammer-case. Oh, wait! But I couldn't. I had very melee heavy army, with little shooting and no Psychic. So I was almost stuck to dealing only the 3 Wounds PER TURN on it. While it regenerated one wound back every turn it had. I had to throw absolutely everything at it to keep it contained and to do anything reasonable to it, which pretty much cost me the game. Yay. Because a rule said "You don't get to kill this... Well... 'Cose I said so!" Gaz is even worse in a way. Yes, he's a big boi. But like said with C'tan, they ruled a C'tan would not benefit from the Look Out, Sir. Easy to write otherwise for Gaz. He'd be just as bad to dig out, but he is THE ORK. It would make sense for him to be a pain in a butt to dig out from an ork pile. That usually has 6+ saves, 5++ if lucky. Comparing to someone who can hide behind 3+ 2 Wound models galore while commanding... *coughGirlymancough* But fine. You want him to be a big, BIG boi. So give him wound reduction. Abaddon has rule halving the Wounds he gets. Nurgle things have 4+ FNPs at best. You could have Gaz have "Grot Shield", but with Bois like T'au Riptides with Drones. You have such a huge variety of options. So what do you give him? Some artificial "But I'm bringing this fancy toy and you all have to promise me not to break it, okay? I hate you guys forever if you break my toy, you hear?"-rule. It's... Just... Bad.

[@daemonnexusknight]

@@Velgar_Grim This is what I was pretty much thinking, yeah. I don't think a change to the 'Look Out, Sir' rule is the answer, as they'd have to change it for a bunch of other things based on wounds, but the Damage Reduction might have been a better answer for sure. It just doesn't seem great that very killy models such as those two take so much to bring down. :(

[@judjementine]

@@Velgar_Grim i think the problem is that c'tan are just better then ghaz because they guarantee heal 1 wound each turn, you have to minimum kill them in 4 turns doing damage in 1 phase rather than 3 turns like ghaz. i feel like they could've done the c'tan as 4 wounds a phase like ghaz and it would of been just fine because that's still having to do 4 wounds for 2 turns and then 3 wounds on the last turn depending. the counter is that it's supposed to encourage you to make more "balanced" lists rather then putting all your eggs into 1 phase basket, but for some factions like tau and astra militarum that just isn't very viable.

[@judjementine]

@@Velgar_Grim also i do agree about the wounds per turn thing, it's something that's over powered against certain armies and is a moderate annoyance to others; kinda like old quantum shielding for necrons, which they decided to remove. but, I'm not sure if GW is going to want to remove it especially now that they gave the same rule to c'tan. and if they're going to have the rule then if there is anyone who deserves to have a no you can't kill me in 1 phase rule it's the biggest ork. but the problem then is that it's now a slippery slope where now other people want it for their stuff. like if ghaz and c'tan get it then why not make magnus have a similar rule? he's the big bad sorcerer daemon primarch so it could make sense that he can only take 6 a turn. what about the swarm lord he's the biggest baddest tyranid? what about Guillemin? Abaddon?? SLY MARBO?!? it's a dangerous game they're playing.

[@Velgar_Grim]

@@judjementine Yeah. Definitely should have damcap+heal. But I'm pretty sure it's just 'cose they couldn't figure how to balance the survivability. Like said, there are forces to whom variety just isn't an option. It's just a terrible rule and I've hated it right from Morathi. It's just so lazy rulemaking.

Did those gretchin start in coherency? That looks like the old daisy chain at the beginning.

[@daleodorito]

No, they were not, if the unit has more than 5 models, each model must be in coherency with another 2 models. Also I think that that was more than 2" appart...

[@sreggad]

@@daleodorito assuming they aren't more than 2" apart which would be out of coherency no matter 8th or 9th edition rules. They would be in coherency otherwise in 9th. the ends each had the triangle format. so all the middle ones would be within 2 inches of the one on the left and right of them. and the ends make up a diamond so the 2 at each end would be within 2" of 2 still. The whole rule of "must be within 2" of 2 other models if the unit is more than 5" didn't really change daisy chaining much.

Alas, no room for one in my crusade force though, and he doesn't fit the narrative. Weirdly enough, that same approach might make rezzing wraiths and spyders more viable as well, since one of their battle talents is the ability to turn 1 die roll from RPs in a 6.

Hello

[@zombiedad]

Hi

[@DAG4219]

Good fun batrep but painful to watch. Luka buddy you made a noob blunder in your first turn. Narrative or not , don't split fire on something with a 4+ invul save. WTH dude!!!! Gaz/ whatever his name was.

[@iamnotkilroy8344]

steves ability to roll should be considered cheating. btw love u steve but i would never play you lmao

[@iamnotkilroy8344]

just kidding id love to play you :P

[@jabker7850]

Что тут происходит, лол?

[@Tharosthegreat]

Never "waste" opportunitys for priotargets.. U should have went all in until you got the last wound'

[@MrWolfJack]

Honestly, the narrative was all that kept me watching for as long as I did. I like some of Steve's picks but I know that - this is speaking strictly for my personal enjoy and not a reflection on the content, Steve, or MWG at all! - if Steve is playing Orcs or Beast of Chaos I will not enjoy the batrep. I don't like the luck or the powergaming.

Ork introduction 0:26-1:18 - 52 seconds Necron introduction 1:19 -9:02 - 7min:53seconds can someone please get Luka to start being more concise with his introductions?? this is getting excessive...

[@C0LL0SSUS]

Luka please for the love of god at least run a nightbringer or something.... Regular destroyers are terrible and soooo overcosted. I get that your running user suggestions but its painful to watch. Also the Hexmark is about as bad as the Reanimator.

[@BastiT87]

That was what I thought too. Lokhust Destroyers are so bad. Heavy also and the Hex is the worst.

[@C0LL0SSUS]

@@BastiT87 he seriously had 540 points tied up in those two units.. Like seriously such a waste. He might has well been playing 1500 points against Steve's 2k

[@lukapavicevic335]

I've already run the Nightbringer in a few games, it has performed incredibly well(no surprises there!). I gotta try out different things, even though we know they're not great. It's more about the narrative than the performance in most(not all!) of the games I end up playing. I can assure you there will be many more Nightbringer games, it's too fun to not use :P

[@C0LL0SSUS]

@@lukapavicevic335 hey man. Yeah I forgot you had ran him in a earlier batrep so sorry about that I was just thinking he would have been amazing to show against not-ghaz. That was just a frustrating game because Skorpekhs and lokhusts were just paperweights. I'm hoping you can show proper warrior blobs backed up by technos and ghost arks at some point.

[@lukapavicevic335]

@@C0LL0SSUS Oh Ghaz wouldn't have stood a chance against the Nightbringer :P That wouldn't have been too much fun for Steve though, and we all know the outcome of that fight anyways! Warrior blobs will DEFInitely be shown off, I've already done one game with them! I just don't want to exhaust it too quickly, ya know?

[@caderobinet3245]

First, also, you guys rock

[@es83stevenson88]

clearly you don't know how to play necrons any more

[@johnj.spurgin7037]

TBF, GW doesn't seem to know how to play them either. Look what they did to the Reanimator ffs!

[@es83stevenson88]

@@johnj.spurgin7037 true that

[@lukapavicevic335]

Ouch! I was trying out a more questionable Necron army list in this game based around a user's narrative, it's more about telling a story with this game. Though winning is always the end goal, of course, it's just harder to get there with certain builds.

[@DaneInTheUS]

@@lukapavicevic335 don't listen to the hate. That was a great report

[@C0LL0SSUS]

Wow... Hexmark is totally worth its points... Killed 5 or 6 grots. What a peice of garbage gw
