Veer-Myn Vs Forge Fathers at Adepticon! Firefight Battle Report!

[@ianc.485]

Thanks for the batrep! What is that sweet jam of background music? (Did I miss where it says in the video?)

Bad luck on your dice rolling :( Units coming in from reserve can't use faction orders since they aren't 'In Play' at the beginning of their activation (e.g. Hammerfists at 5:25 were being naughty). On the flip side, I'm afraid you should have lost your tunnel runner at 16:50; Your unit has the 'vehicle' keyword and took damage from 'anti-tank', so the tunnel runners should have been pinned, which is an additional -1 on the nerve check. In the end I guess it all evens out ^.^ Until you didn't get your strike back with your Pack Leader against the Iron Ancestor at 38:00; he only advanced into combat (since he shot), so the combat should have been simultaneous (and at least one of the nightmares should have been alive as Trollfjord says - a mixed AR unit uses the greater value). Also units on roofs get cover, they just don't get 'Defensible' (43:40), so most of Jeremy's shots should have missed (not that it made much difference at that point). BTW, the fact that units have to be 'In Play' at the start of their activation in order to get given an order is one of the things that make Veer-Myn really powerful; when a Tunneller uses 'Subterranean Deployment' it brings all of the units on board 'In Play' before their activation; it's the only unit in the game that can do this in all scenarios, so take it! ;) Also, since it looks like you aren't using the beta rules and so the progenitor isn't nerfed for you, you can use that 3" advance to assault, so if you position a tunneller with a nice unit of nightmares on board and a progenitor nearby, you can quite easily munch two units with the nightmares in a single turn. Thanks for the video, there is a lack of Firefight content on KZbin, so I'm always happy to see your videos.

Great video and game. I really like how the FireFight game works and flows (and how it uses d8s for combat resolution). I need to find some people around the area to play.

[@DreadPathZone]

I highly recommend the game, it’s so great

[@crt82]

Great video fellas! Many thanks for sharing.

[@DreadPathZone]

Glad you enjoyed the game!

[@jacobcdenton8524]

Cool looking game!

[@szifty]

Looking forward to the next batrep! Any news on one in the pipe line?

[@DreadPathZone]

Hopefully I can film something with Tim soon, most likely deadzone next time

[@trollfjord1312]

Good game. The Rulebook states that you use the highest AR value for the unit, if there are mixed AR values.

[@DreadPathZone]

Oh! We couldn’t find it! It’s alright, I blew the roll anyways

[@whiteboyfrik5864]

Pretty new to firefight, are the forge fahters supposed to be that reliable with killing things with their weapons + that ability that does something forge star? Probably the games are meant to be played with more terrain maybe? Cause those Forge Fathers got a shooting gallery day hahaha. Cheers guys, have an awesome day

[@DreadPathZone]

Well with the advent of the new book (called Command Protocols), orders like for the forge star can only be played once per turn, so what happened in this game is a thing of the past.

[@whiteboyfrik5864]

@@DreadPathZone happy to know that, since i´ve stayed far away from a certain famous game that often ends in 25% of your army alive before you got to play hahaha. Btw, i would like to start small, maybe with deadzone, what factiosn are more melee focused or do they all have at least some of everything? Is the 3rd edition starter with the ratkin a good one? many thanks and i hope you can continue to have fun and make awesome content about the game, cheers

[@DreadPathZone]

@@whiteboyfrik5864 definitely check out my “how to deadzone” video! It will cover all of those questions! That’s a wonderful starter, I actually have a battle report that gives you sample lists for the veer myn and gcps on the channel too! Feel free to check those out and I hope you get into deadzone (and eventually firefight too!)!

[@whiteboyfrik5864]

@@DreadPathZone thank you very much! Already watched it, but gonna watch it again as a reminder . Probably if y end up buying, will stick to deadzone for some time and try to teach my gf, fingers crossed that works out hahaha. Sadly there's no mantic active store nor deadzone/firefight community here, altough there at least 1 kow community. Have a lovely day!

[@terrainaholic]

Neat to see a convention bat rep!!!!!! GO RATS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ScarriorIII]

Keep it up, bro. I'm still trying to put together some of my new armies, let alone get people to the table.

[@DreadPathZone]

What are you building?

[@ScarriorIII]

@@DreadPathZone Just the starter kit Enforcers/Marauders with some extra i bought to fill em out. I have a large chunk of enforcers/forge fathers plus marauders/veer-myn somewhere in storage, but 2 armies at once is hard enough to build. There's some guys working on a beta version of Warpath 2.0 which I'm also looking into, would love to see the base game get an upgrade, I'm not caught up to Firefight completely yet, I keep calling units teams and I keep thinking steel warriors out range my enforcers XD.

[@DreadPathZone]

@@ScarriorIII firefight is where it’s at, I wouldn’t even bother with warpath, firefight is so smooth and scales up so well I really don’t know what else you could want from it

[@ScarriorIII]

@@DreadPathZone the scale i like, the simple construction of teams/multiple teams per unit, and the suppression mechanics are so cool. Nothing rocks harder than putting that giant orange 🔥 on a model. But yes, firefight has plenty of advantages too, I like the shift to d8s.

[@ScarriorIII]

@@DreadPathZone i also like the relative simplicity of the warpath franchises factions in that it all fits into one book. There is enough there to where you'll probably never run out of things to try, but its not bloated. In 40k, it takes a lifetime to learn one faction and then they change it. Warpath franchise, I can actually learn and comprehend other armies to the point I won't be surprised by some special rule I've never heard of. Makes it more strategic and competitive. Most 40k games have half the game explaining faction rules to your opponent.

[@nickgraney2119]

Firefight or deadzone, which is your favourite and why? My lad and myself have just gotten into Deadzone and have both 3rd edition starter sets along with all the star saga minis. We love it. Look forward to your reply 😊

[@DreadPathZone]

I absolutely love both games! I still think that deadzone is king, but both games scratch different itches and both games are really fun

[@Deebo131]

"smoke weed everyday" subscribed for life 😅

[@DreadPathZone]

Every time smoke pops up, you can expect this lol 😂 💨

[@Moyzan258]

You forgot to roll for regen with your rat fiend on the left flank :(

[@DreadPathZone]

Sad, but I doubt he was going to last much longer anyways 😅
