Samus & Word Bearers vs Ventanus, Ultramarines & Mechanicum - Horus Heresy Battle Report

[@nathanshobby4646]

15:14 I like both. On the battle table, it gets the vibe of the coming battle in the overview. However, the armies on the planning table gives the impression of the army being corralled on the battle barge. The mat also helps in this regard. Thank you sir and I can’t wait to see the rest of the battle.

Samus, its the only name you'd hear...

[@warsmith3238]

Wonderfull game, enjoyed the show.

[@mikealpha2611]

I am the one who walks behind you.

[@SonOfSalop]

I am the one who cringes every time samus comes up in any of the story lines

[@mikealpha2611]

@SonOfSalop he is a bit like whack a mole demon

[@SonOfSalop]

Yeah true, he'd probably be a cool character if he'd just shut up 😂

[@mikealpha2611]

Lol

[@dudewheresmylandspeeder8306]

Yeah, I wish they showcased more Undivided daemon concepts vs just recycling the same guy over and over.

[@christianjohansson7185]

Thank you for taking the time to film this!

[@onepingyboi9363]

Hey Paul! Just a reminder that phased plasma fusils are AP 3. This means that the Myrmidons and Thallax can't make armour saves when they get hot and must use their invuln!

[@gobknobbler3465]

Every battle report with them I see everyone plays this wrong in some way or another lol

[@ellesse3862]

Stunning armies, beautiful table, excellent game, really enjoying your HH games with James.

[@philedwards7331]

Blueberries vs Raspberries, my favorite match up. Go Team Red, jam the Blueberries!!!!

[@matthewkimber4513]

You just summed up my biggest issue with Space Marines. 😀

[@Pikminavenger]

Paul, nuncio vox's come in the box for the heavy support squad, they are made from the tactical box set which is comprised of 2 5 man sprues and the extra sprue that has the pistol holsters, grenades, and the nuncio vox and the vexilla. And since both of the 5 man sprues are identical they come with the two indents on the top to fit them! Justice for one heavy weapon boy who lacks his skype box.

[@SayHiPaul]

Youre right, I misspoke, I shod have said that they didnt come in the box with the mk IV marines!

[@Pikminavenger]

@@SayHiPaul You're right, they didn't, I had forgotten till you just mentioned it. That was a forge world resin upgrade back pack, set that came with like a special helmet and 2 vexilla's and nuncio vox. Surely you have one extra one somewhere right?

[@nicholasmccabe636]

at 51:58 when james is talking about not being able to fire weapons that get hot, I think that's only for blast and template weapons. pg. 239 "gets hot and weapons that do not roll to hit" in the age of darkness rulebook also after watching a bit more, rending attacks aren't treated as AP2 for the purposes of the vehicle damage table. they use the weapons normal AP. Core rules page 246

[@NobleNayrb]

Loved this report, keep them coming! Murderous strikes must be made first. I dont think it would have made a huge difference, though a few times, the WB would have won combats. 🤘🏻 Love what you're doing! Can't wait to see what's next!

[@dudewheresmylandspeeder8306]

Awesome armies on both sides, and a very cool battle. Glad to see that the WB player sacrificed enough puppies, kittens, and other small creatures needed to restore his legions luck after their last battles. … though that Land Raider Spartan of his, man. Absolutely beautiful, but it appears that wax from its candles must be getting into its treads and gumming up the works. The only reasonable explanation for why it gets immobilized so frequently.

[@wolfcorgi5903]

I can see the armies clearly on the side table but due to the harsh/white/overhead light they don't look as good as they do in person/ on the main table, which is a shame.

[@mikealpha2611]

I think in cases like this where its hard to get it all on the table this works well.

[@Lordofepirus]

Another fantastic game as always. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to more Calth shenanigans

[@aspecti]

Would the breacher shields & arms fit the older mark3 models?

[@notarealperson8956]

Those despoilers man, jesus christ.

[@notarealperson8956]

Its like after that entrance the despoiler sgt decided to toy with ventanus "I could just kill you, but I want to have you hacked apart slowly"

[@Isabingus]

wow thats dedication to keeping it heresy to spend the extra forge world tax on the "era" (technically older then HH but still) specific armigers.

[@kylarstern17]

Interestingly Moritats got FAQ'd and are allowed to join units that don't have Bitter Duty, which is weird lore-wise but great fun for list-building.

[@canaryinacoalmine1759]

It makes sense. You can't tell your commanding officer to go away because he's weird, but an officer can refuse to join a squad of destroyers.

[@Pikminavenger]

Ashen Circle have the bitter duty special rule.

[@NobleNayrb]

🤘🏻

[@jeremiahp399]

Thank you Paul. I can't say I liked this game. I think you couldn't have won regardless of the dice rolls; the 8th ed. rules are flawed.
