I love the random word bearer running around with the word "Bear" carved into his armor lmao

[@lukaslesniak1415]

Any chance for a Horus Heresy Campaign? Or some narrative games? That would be sick.

[@MrKneeby]

A rule of thumb I've found when running Dark Brotherhood is to always pick a vehicle as the sacrifice if there is one. They are just too easy to kill.

[@7nineofspades5]

Super keen to see more Word Bearers on the table. Any chance of some games with some of their special characters?

[@cymrodave]

My first few games with the solar auxilia were painful, but after getting to grips with them I’m doing pretty well. Vox interlock and big blobs of infantry can tarpit marines and close off areas on the table. Also the artillery and armoured tercios are cheap and versatile. It is a really punishing army though but the aesthetic is brilliant. Great batrep chaps.

[@3v3rhard]

Solar auxilia has no chance to fight space marines in 2.0, all their good guns are nerfed and they still die to everything... Its like the books, just doesnt make for very interesting games.

[@inquisitorvuln]

Those dark armored Solar Auxillia are absolutely gorgeous.

[@tomyorke3412]

Solar Auxilia is a rare army these days

[@TheTaffy2499]

Always love seeing heresy on the channel :)

[@andersdencker4459]

Those are some gorgeous armies, and massive ones at that too.

[@alphaomega938]

Lotta Issac Clark’s there, that’s a lot of stomps coming at those necromorph demony Word boys

[@joaquinarias4915]

Around 40:41 I believe you made a mistake. The vindicators moved but still were able to fire all 3 of their shots each. However when an Ord wpn moves, they are only allowed to fire 1x shot each, can’t snap fire. So that should’ve been 2x shots into the dracosan

[@joaquinarias4915]

*moves half their movement characteristic sorry

[@red4foxela]

Its one weapon and not one shot afaik.

[@joaquinarias4915]

@@red4foxela thank you this is great to know! I have been moving half distance and firing only one shot this whole time. This make the vindicator a lot more deadly

[@Connordaboss45]

Hope solar auxiliary get some faqs

[@proxyghost4644]

this game Luka loves saying "Frenchyyyyy" and "Spooky Scary" :D

[@or6397]

We need a new edition or for them to FAQ the game massively.

[@SlyLilFoxo]

Both armies look stunning! Well done!

[@AndrewPeverells]

Those poor unaugmented humans. They were like an afternoon snack. Sucks for Frenchie's bad luck with rolls though :(

[@Stormbolter83]

Always love to see heresy at MWG, also I'm glad you like the model luka, just hope it does not bite me in the butt when I come over 😉

[@irishjesus3927]

I wonder if games would be balanced a little better if the auxilia were granted an extra 25% more points. Perhaps that could be a fun future battle report to run it as an experiment :)

[@jackcanox4015]

They just need to nerf dreadnoughts tbh cause they broken af!

[@Connordaboss45]

I think solar auxiliary vs mechanicum would be a good match up

[@LaMDoH123]

That’s a like for solar auxilia

[@Alpharius2479]

I really like seeing heresy

[@playfulruss4227]

Also one thing on the tercios is they can never have more then 3 units - so this makes it more strategic which units you fit into them.

[@playfulruss4227]

have you guys looked at the panoptica intermediate errata for the Liber Imperium (and the existing errata for the other libers and rulebook)?

[@owenwordley3708]

The leman Russ vanquishers, no need to add a commander and cognis signum total waste of points. The vanquisher has a coaxial autocannon, if you shoot that first and score a hit it makes the main weapon twin linked.

[@Rathios1337]

I actually ran the full dead list a few times, Its much less strong than you would think. I lost every game of like 6 I played 😅

[@3v3rhard]

sometimes its not the tools but the general ;-)

[@Rathios1337]

@@3v3rhard 🚶‍♂🚿

[@or6397]

You’ve convinced me not to collect Solar Auxilia.

[@jackcanox4015]

To be honest dreadnought need to have hull points or way less wounds because they are ruining this edition.

[@Blight02]

30:18 while you don't take morale for reaction casualties you do still take pinning. If you get pinned in your own turn you are pinned till the end of your next turn. Sucks a bunch.

[@AubLambe]

Someone is watching House of Dragon

[@I_am-lost.]

Frenchie? Has he left the supe business?

[@Raven-dz7sp]

We need super heavy tank tercio

[@alphaomega938]

[@peters6345]

Hate Luka's rolling XD Every single time tons of 6s

[@louh1093]

my god if you say spooky scary one more time

[@lukapavicevic335]

SPOOKY. SCARY.

[@milescampbell853]

Hey guys i am new to 30k Could you do a all contemptor regular dreadnoughts in Leviathan iron hands list battle report

[@Connordaboss45]

That sounds painfully unfun to both play against and watch

[@Blight02]

I love dreads and Iron hand dreads especially but I can never run that list because of how stupidly powerful it is.

[@adventure-people1536]

Too hard to watch, the rules are terrible

[@Connordaboss45]

How so

[@3v3rhard]

@@Connordaboss45 game speaks for itself. Just simple statistics, the balance is all wrong. Solar auxilia used to have strong tanks, artillery and airplanes. With numbers they needed to keep the line while the heavy guns did the work. Remove the guns and there is only a line of bodies which will crumble fast. Only way to play is just spamming cheap units and wait until the game is over.

[@adventure-people1536]

@@3v3rhard Thank you. I couldn't have said it better. I also believe 30K needs to be played with 9th edition rules, or just the same as 40K

[@sturm9087]

@@adventure-people153640k rules are even worse than heresy rules. So bland and boring, might be the simplest wargame out there. Heresy just needs to figure out its balancing better. Idk what they were thinking by changing dreadnoughts to have wounds and why they nerfed all the heavy weapons of the non marine armies.
