This was a blast to watch. On top of the lack of instantly-crippling shooting reactions, the chemistry between the players, the banter, and the overall vibe was great. Both of you clearly were having fun and that made it so much more enjoyable! Love seeing Heresy content.

[@jeffreysas5888]

You forgot the "Brutal (2)" on the firedrakes attacks with their thunder hammers vs the Gal Vorbak

[@sjbellotti]

Im new to salamanders and 30k; loved this battle, thank you. I have a couple questions...Covenant of Fire RoW has a limitation where you must take a centurion with the Legion Champion Consul upgrade. I didn't see that in the army list?? Also, on the first turn why not shoot the Aiolos missiles too

[@MimohForn]

Cool guest! Adam is pure joy to watch

[@andrewbakescakes9684]

Really nice looking armies. And props to the guest for flying all the way to Canada for a game!

[@materialbothell5725]

Really sad that those brave salamander tacticals died like punks

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Word Bearers died like bishes.

[@tabe8850]

I loved this batrep! Thankfully, this one didn’t have a “feel bad” shooting reaction like the last time the Salamanders were in the vault. Shooting reactions is one of the worst aspects of HH2.0. This batrep was just fun!

[@DemonAce18]

Warpfire plasma blaster is an assault 2 weapon. I think the Core Book FAQ from a few months ago says that Pinning tests are taken after the Reaction is completed. So Return Fire and Evade would still go off. If you want to run a No Corrupted list it wouldn't be a bad idea to take more Warpfire plasma support/heavy teams for good anti-infantry/Dreadnought. Also, I don't know if it was rolled but the Salamander's legion reaction requires a test to be made at the end of the Assault phase if they lived.

[@CreepingTerror]

Such a fun game to watch!

[@JH-ci7gu]

Pyroclast have invuln 5+ to melta, plasma, flamers n vulks. And not sure if wall of death applies to melta mode for the pyro flamers?

[@peters6345]

You respect the battle canoe ! ;p

[@katofmine]

Saying "traitorous salamanders" is just plain heresy

[@roberthorvath9371]

thanks for the amazing game!Heresy FTW

[@marcmurphy8205]

Great report. Just one thing you chaps seem to have forgotten the 5+ shrouding for night fighting.

[@Connordaboss45]

Hey, I figured I'd ask professionals because I've seen so many different rulings. When I roll a 1 (gets hot) with plasma, do I roll to wound myself, thus giving it a chance to (breaching) on myself?

[@Orlunu]

No, you automatically get wounded at base AP.

[@wiccanthropy1956]

Great word bearer showing! Ashen circle was first to meet the ash, but the terminators became the drake skin on gal vorbak plate! Fun tit for tat! Great watching

[@adamjones5363]

Are ashen circle flamers s5 or did you forget the most basic rule for Salamanders? Edit: also the plasma would wound on 3+ and -I think - breach on 5s.

[@scotmabrey4868]

The breach roll value shouldn’t change, but they should have been wounded on 3s

[@adamjones5363]

@@scotmabrey4868 if you're reducing the wound result by 1 wouldn't that mean a 4 would be a 3 and therefore not breaching?

[@scotmabrey4868]

@@adamjones5363 breach happens on a to wound roll it’s not changed by modifiers for the to wound, just like Rend would not be affected by a to wound roll modifier.

[@adamjones5363]

@@scotmabrey4868 ok I had to read to the bit on modifying rolls. You are correct.

[@jasonlichty5241]

Is that Adam Cammalleri?

[@marcuskarlsson8535]

As someone who don't play 30k or are even that in to the 30k lore, I have a question? Why do the space marines look more like primaris than first-born? Isn't this supposed to be literally ~10k years before primaris was engineered?

[@ThePipLad]

It's just a similar looking iteration of Space Marine armour

[@wiccanthropy1956]

Mk10 armor (that primaris wear) looks really similar to mk4(maximus) pattern armor. But mk 6 and mk 3 look wayyy different. Cawl took a class on cleptomania.

[@zackcook5123]

The Primaris marines where a type of armour called mark 10. It incorporates design elements of armours used during the heresy. Example the helmet of the mark 4 a 30k era armour, well it's design is on Primaris. Terminators are heavy infantry for assault so resemble gravis somewhat. And marine in general share design elements. Hope this helps.

[@LBL108]

Aioles missile launcher cant shoot at an other target anymore... It just doesnt need line of sight with it... useless realy

[@JH-ci7gu]

Its still ok for pinning checks w/o line of sight with guided fire

[@LBL108]

@@JH-ci7gu yea but if you dont have linenof sight with the deredeo, only the missile launcher shoots, and thats a lot of poinrs for a pinning check

[@Demon_Decken]

BRUH WHY NO PRIMARCHS?!?!?!? I just wanna see Vulkan win my man ;(

[@bendalgleish1894]

Word bearers, word bearers, Gal vorbak? Gal vorbak! Been a lot of Gal Vorbak at the Studio recently! Gal vorbak? VORBAK! GAL BAK where you came from....but seriously great report. Just a lot of Gal Vorbak at MWG and with the mountain recently, hint hint....

[@calarath504]

Please dust your minis before you do a batrep. The tanks look like I could write "Wash Me" in the dust.

[@Morgan_freemon]

First?

[@AshenXr155]

Yes.

*severe motion sickness inducing!!!* consider not shaking the camera so much all the time, wanted to watch, but was unable :(
