* NEW CODEX* 8th Edition Battle Report: Space Wolves vs Red Scorpions 1750 Points

[@3vilPredat0r]

Well someone will write this ;). Long fangs can reroll ones to hit on a priority target. And Wulfen only hits on 5+ in shooting. But I am so happy to see the Space Wolves on the channel again.

[@shaunzeiders8562]

Arjac re-rolls 1's to wound, not 1's to hit. Long Fangs naturally re-roll 1's to hit against priority targets. Wulfen only hit on a 5+ in shooting. Space wolves only get +1 to hit when they charge, are charged, or preform a heroic intervention. Also, way to much time spent on the dice tray.

[@LandofMert76]

Woo battle of the Dreadnoughts! not to be super critical, but do people enjoy looking at the dice tray as much as its shown in the video? Seems like a lot of rolling that could be edited out. Just my preference

[@superedd7255]

Thomas Mertens Geeks early vids did not show dice rolling and only recently started to after multiple complaints from viewers... though I’m sure if more people were vocal it could sway them again 🤔

[@NeonRaveHuskey]

i like seeing the rolling but i like it when the rolls are near the action

[@bellportbattlebunker4682]

Gorgeous looking models. Thanks for sharing.

[@Corvid_Games]

You should use the Beta rules. Also if you zoomed out when seeing the dice roll the viewer could still see the battlefield. Wulfen reroll charges, Long Fangs get a priority target to reroll hits of 1 against, Saga of the Wolfkin isn't an Aura until you've melee'd 5 things.

[@superedd7255]

RuinisGaming I like the idea of more zoomed out shots between dice rolls!

[@Spekd]

Nice report glad I got here!

[@patray860]

Spectacular looking armies. Great bat rep

[@WoffBoot]

That was a fun battle and two beautiful armies, thanks for posting. Some feedback about the dice tray: I like seeing the rolls, but it was a bit like staring at a logo for a very long time. Since you've got that lovely gamemat, and the dice were going astray anyway, I'd risk just throwing them on the table, so we can see more scenery and miniatures. Hope that helps. Great game anyway! Subscribed.

[@GeeksWargaming]

All taken on board. The dice tray was a trial but wont be used again

[@josephmcconnell8905]

Harald Deathwolf doesn't give his warlord trait to other units until he has achieved his Deed of Legend (slay 5 models)

[@peters6345]

Nice batrep, think you forgot the +1 to hit only works on the turn you charged or get charged. You where saying strenght 10 when hitting with your thundercav, they have st 4, x2 with power fist is 8. Or did they up their base strenght to 5?

[@bobamus1987]

Saw the beautiful armies and instantly subbed

[@GeeksWargaming]

Welcome to the channel, hope you enjoy our other content

[@Lamthesavender]

i had mt first game of 8th with my dark angels v nids, your luck olls gave me flashbacks!

[@TheSascatch]

Interesting Arjac was taken when the Space Wolves aren’t running a single Wolf Guard unit

[@josephmcconnell8905]

Technically, Thunderwolf Cav have the Wolf Guard keyword

[@brigandboy1425]

Love watching you play space wolves. No, it isn't perfect, but it's more than competent, and that's a huge help. I will say though, I'd love it if you could look up at the board a bit more when you are filming. That's a lovely dice pan, but I like the way the models look a bit more ;)

[@GeeksWargaming]

Yup we agree and latest bat reps have changed

[@robertgoswick9236]

Where did you get the red scorpion transfer?

[@sludgedisciple]

Gorgeous Red Scorpions.

[@superedd7255]

sludgedisciple cheers man!

[@anthonytanner2343]

Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob... where does it state that Thunderwolf Calvary hit on 2's, "for being Space Wolves", instead of 3's outlined in the Codex? And does this rule improve all Space Wolves hitting statistics or just Thunderwolf Calvary? 28:35

[@teessidetyrants1989]

Two lovely looking armies again. Great game

[@PeninsulaPaintingProjects]

Well I clicked because I saw some Space Wolves and a nice head swap Red Scorpion. But stayed even longer because ya man is a Kevin Steen fan!

[@superedd7255]

Peninsula Painting Projects oh I am! I truly am!! I’m pretty sure I only wear KO and Finn B shirts on camera but I’m not 100% without checking 😂

[@PeninsulaPaintingProjects]

@@superedd7255 I think you wore a wrestling tee on the last battle report I watched haha.

[@superedd7255]

Peninsula Painting Projects oh I only wear Wrestling tops! That’s a given.. just always end up wearing particular wrestlers when I’m at Geeks! 😂😂

[@Corvid_Games]

Also Arjac is wasted babysitting. And remember all the cool strategems overall.

[@andystrachan598]

Hi Ed and Rich! 👋

[@GeeksWargaming]

👋🏼

[@the3rdcoming]

Do the "nipple flamers" have a 10" range? (for the overwatch in T1).

[@GeeksWargaming]

They do.. ed will get that correct in the next game

[@superedd7255]

They do not, sadly my third game with the army and I thought they had 12” range not 8”

[@natofreak93]

Theeth and Claws are hitting on 2. with the SW rule?

[@GeeksWargaming]

Yes they do, this was our first game using the new codex. All sorted now in newer games

[@RemTV]

really rooting for the scorpions here... say NO to mutations!

[@TheTurbanatore]

I love the Space Wolves great game guys

[@Sicariusification]

I feel like the Red Scorpions would've benefited alot from using Wisdom of the Ancients and placing those Dreads to hit about everyone with the aura, now that there's no Captain. And the Venerable Dread should probably always advance, and remember the smoke launchers:)

[@superedd7255]

atries I will look into that! Cheers man 😊

[@MarkAndTerra]

I think you are playing with the old SW Warlord traits? The ones in the English codex were misprinted. Saga of the Wolfkin only gives bonus attacks to other models (aside from the Warlord) after the Warlord has killed 5 models. See updated traits here: www.warhammer-community.com/2018/08/21/20th-aug-updated-space-wolves-warlord-traitsgw-homepage-post-2/

[@GeeksWargaming]

Ive just reread the txt on the reprinted warlord traits and yup i played that slightly wrong. Thank you for pointing that out

[@brother-sergeantvictorious77]

GORGEOUS ARMIES! Good lord!

[@daveamos2499]

Hey Rich, if your playing the beta rules for deepstrike not allowed to come on where you did turn 1 with the wulfen, theyre also allowed to re roll failed charges.

[@GeeksWargaming]

Hey no we dont play beta rules as they aren’t official as of yet

[@daveamos2499]

I believe wulfen hit on 5s for shooting.

[@superedd7255]

Geeks Wargaming We Don’t?!?! 😱 hmmmm.... May have to look at that 🤔

[@superedd7255]

Dave Amos interesting! 🤔

[@GeeksWargaming]

Its also not deepstriking, its a new stratagem called cunning of the wolf

[@AllbinP]

I'm cheering for Red Scorpions. They are so gorgeous! And this dread HQ :D

[@superedd7255]

AllbinP cheers man!! I am pleased you like my Red Scorpions 😊

[@AllbinP]

A lot but prefer my purple/gold adeptus mechanicum :D

[@superedd7255]

AllbinP Oooh sounds cool!

[@AllbinP]

Super Edd imgur.com/a/mHfJjZl some pic, sr for low quality of photo... i use my potatophone :D

[@superedd7255]

AllbinP nice!!

[@marcelvandriel3752]

Great batrep. One question. Can the Wulfen appear in turn 1 with cunning of the wolf?

[@GeeksWargaming]

Yes as the rule for not deepstriking in turn 1 are not official as they are beta rules. If they become official they wont be able to

[@ChampionofTerra]

Man, those Red Scorpions look super sexy!

[@superedd7255]

Darmamu the Wargamer cheers man!!

[@MoggAssassin]

Aren't overwatch weapons limited to their normal ranges? Example: if a weapon has an 8" or 6" range it can't fire overwatch against a charge over that distance away.

[@superedd7255]

MoggAssassin you are correct! Did I over watch something that would be out of range?

[@MoggAssassin]

@@superedd7255 only if the "nipple" flamers on the Leviathan have a range of less than 10". Turn 1 vs the Thunderwolf Cav.

[@superedd7255]

MoggAssassin yeah that is my bad, only the third time using the army. I thought they were 12”.... I just checked and they are 8”

[@MoggAssassin]

@@superedd7255 no problems, I enjoy your batreps and didn't want to come across as a troll or someone just watching for mistakes.

[@superedd7255]

MoggAssassin not at all mate, if nobody said anything I’d still get it wrong 😊

[@joaquinrivera8885]

any battle reports with casan sabius?

[@superedd7255]

Joaquin Rivera I do own the model but I’ve not built him as he’s not Primaris and so went against my theme sadly

[@joaquinrivera8885]

Super Edd alright i have my first army as red scorpions and he and the rest of the special characters are down with the risen coming through the mail, I really want to see how he performs! cheers

[@___Snake___]

Since Marneus Calgar went Primaris you could use the standard Primaris Captain as Sabius now and just upgrade him to a Chapter Master

[@superedd7255]

Cmdr Snake that’s a really interesting idea!!

[@deanbrereton1809]

Need more Ed, class guy

[@GeeksWargaming]

Hmmmm do we though haha

[@superedd7255]

Yes yes you do!

[@TheDBall73]

My question is, besides the obvious stuff wrong with teh SW rules is..... Cunning Of The Wolf. Can that really be used on turn one???? Seems to me it would be a turn 2 thing.

[@GeeksWargaming]

Hi, up until games workshop released the new faq the other day, yes you could have entered in on turn 1

[@Toxic-do1ze]

May I ask who won the competition as I missed the video

[@GeeksWargaming]

Hi, it was one of our facebook followers named Jake

[@Toxic-do1ze]

@@GeeksWargaming thank you

[@stevenhudson632]

I don't get how a channel dedicated to teaching and showing armies can get really basic things wrong.

[@GeeksWargaming]

Sorry you thought that. Yes i agree we did get a few rules wrong but that was my fault with my wolves

[@superedd7255]

Geeks Wargaming and I did make a mistake with the overwatch range of my flamers on the Leviathan...

[@kolinkesson8613]

Wooden re roll charges

[@travismcgee3603]

Why would you every keep arjac in the back line his re roll all failed hits in the fight phase is necessary in close combat and yeah long fang has fire discipline ability which allows you to reroll fail Hit rolls of one. And he gives and extra attack to wolf guard which the thunderwolf Cavalry are they have the key word

[@GeeksWargaming]

Looking back at this game, im Not sure i did leave him at the back. You are right his is powerful going forward. Next time i play him he will do what he does best

[@felixarbable]

Still sad seeing all these primaris red scorpions, mk 4!

[@RemTV]

gosh you guys really missed out on some rerolls from captains and lieutenants

[@lukevader6038]

That was a lot of looking at a dice tray. Didn't enjoy it as much as previous vids. But cool armies though.

[@GeeksWargaming]

Sorry you didnt enjoy it as much, the dice tray was introduced after a few previous comments.. and trying to control robin with his chuck em across the table dice rolling 🙄

[@lukevader6038]

@@GeeksWargaming No need to apologise - it's good of you guys to share your content. Personally I thought you had really nice looking armies and a really cool board - I wanted to see more. Maybe you could move the dice box around a bit, or cut the editing so there's less focus on it. Or if the majority of your viewers liked it then leave it :-)

[@jewell278]

Dice tray batrep. Not a fan.

[@GeeksWargaming]

Thanks.. noted for our next battle report

[@jewell278]

Didn't meant to be rude there.

[@GeeksWargaming]

Haha you weren’t it ok

[@whitecornx]

So many rules mistakes! Again, learn the wolves before you play them!

[@whitecornx]

Also, if unless the leviathen dread has special nipple flamers, they can't overwatch with them as you needed a 10 inch charge and the flamers only have an 8 inch range. You can only overwatch with weapons that can reach the target.

[@superedd7255]

whitecornx yeah only the third time using them and honestly thought they were 12” but won’t happen again...

[@truckstation527]

Sooo many mistakes. Made it hard to watch.

[@GeeksWargaming]

Hey sorry you didnt enjoy it. It was first game with the new dex. Still learning the rules
