Sons of Horus Vs Mechanicum - Liber Panoptica - Horus Heresy Battle Report - Age Of Darkness

[@jediluke69]

Id love to see more of liber panoptica in battle reports!

[@BearfootMiniatures]

With you (and others) responses will be pursuing it definitely if i can get some games in

[@myrar8708]

Love Panoptica!

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Hopefully it was a satisfactory game to watch then mate, Phils expressed interest in playing some panoptica so if we get time more to come sooner than later!

[@aworldeater7989]

Love a mechanicum land raider. Plasma cannon sponsons were my favourite. Long live black book 1.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Knew you’d love the land’s raider!

[@awylh]

panoptica looks great looking forward to seeing more bat reps using it

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Was fun to play mate; if nothing else the extra units section is super interesting

[@Adulese]

Really solid report! Might suggest some sort of image stabilization though as it can get quite rough on the eyes on larger screens. ^_^

[@BearfootMiniatures]

I shall look to see if there’s anything I can do in post, it’s currently using a GoPro10 atm (I’ll also check my settings aswell) Shall also check if there’s any decent gimbals I can get hold of (been limited by cost and mainly size tbh as I’m holding it for 4+ hours while doing the gaming)

[@tomdudley5314]

Love the rules pack and the edition of extra units for the Marines and some of the rebalance for Mechanicum in CC generally speaking. My point to make is are Myrmidons too good? They seem to blast everything in sight and even go toe to toe with Marine elite in close combat. IMO Myrmidon points go way up or their weapons be toned down significantly. And maybe remove their ability to intercept? And perhaps reduce toughness so can be doubled-out easier? Those Reavers with a Preator never stood a chance. Also, I'd even argue for tactical marines for a points decrease as they don't seem to do much, they really lack firepower to influence anything. That said the luck was hilariously one-sided and the SoH list perhaps needed more shooting on the table to influence the game. Really enjoyed the BR, great minis, the table looked amazing. Look to see more Liber Panoptica in the future.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Ye 100% agreed with pretty much all mate, myrmadons are very good in base, Ollie (and I agree tbh) had said he’s hesitant to rebuff units as it puts people off homebrew as vs buffing elsewhere Ye I was really hoping for the one turn reserve (or atleast a bigger portion to come on, not the classic one unit comes in and provides a free shooting phase)

[@thomasmarianini2720]

Great game! Love the bots!

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@electricemp9919]

Papa Panoptica

[@blacklight5902]

LETS GO!!!!!

[@40kWarpHeroes]

great board

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Cheers mate! Glad you like it!

[@taffeh]

i like some of those SoH models... they look... familiar

[@BearfootMiniatures]

theyre alright you know, im reliably informed the previous owner of some made a huge mistake selling them

[@sigrudvildhafre2511]

Sustainable non gmo Nukes. Handcrafted dirtybombs with a clean mind

[@BearfootMiniatures]

only the dirtiest of dirtybombs!

[@roberthorvath9371]

what a great game again!

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Mr72challenger]

Where do you get the Domitar Jump packs????? Please and thank you

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Hey mate, will as Ollie and get back

[@awylh]

SoH should have brought some reserves manipulation... that re-roll is a big deal in a list like that

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Sadly I didn’t have the models available, Phil who I borrowed the army off has a Damocles and a MoS but I didn’t have them at the studio to take advantage of: next time!

[@danieljohnhousley]

maybe it's just perspective, but that looks less than 6x4

[@BearfootMiniatures]

It’s just the perspective mate; the table beneath the Matt is bang on 6x4!

[@lonelysandbar]

Definitely not brave enough lol Awesome batrep!

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Cheers mate, glad you’ve enjoyed the panoptica stuff!

[@jellydamgood]

Read abit of the liber and gotta say the extra game modes and missions are great. But whats up with the balancing? Nerfs to mid - low tier factions while the top tier gods were barely touched 🤨?

[@zac2851]

First

[@AirsoftAddicted]

Reavers are crap. All legion specific units at SoH are heavily overcosted.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Ye agreed: I mean fists (bad example maybe) get templars with 2+ and power swords as standard and complain about those and reavers are similar priced and lack both those features

[@robertlorenz2564]

Not sure I like the nerf to krak grenades

[@blacklight5902]

Any reason in particular? Im biased so maybe Im just missing it.

[@robertlorenz2564]

​@@blacklight5902making krak ap 4 only helps the mechanicum and I don't think they need any. The mechanicum is already strong. If anything the myrmidons need a nerf, or maybe just the phased plasma fusil.

[@blacklight5902]

@robertlorenz2564 so if you played 1.0,krak grenades were ap4. They seem to have been buffed to ap3 to once again style on mechanicum unit even though the units they can be used on were also toned down in multiple other areas. I say this because krak grenades can only be used on dreads,vehicles, automata, and armigers (panoptica). Of those 4 options only 2 actually matter with ap3 and its entirely mech. Don't forget, they autohit at I1. It feels like someone had a specific hate boner for automata ya know. Now with that Myrmidon nerf,yeah I can agree and have already submitted feedback to the team for it.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

100% on the myrmanerf tbh On the kraks I think maybe just how they are in AoD with hit rolls is one to try tbh

[@nathanvarley542]

Too many buffs to the mech force without a point change. Especially when you factor in the krak grenade change (which I do agree with). I think this is the only report on the channel that was too one sided to enjoy.

[@BearfootMiniatures]

I’d like to play some more games before I form my opinion felt like it this game maybe but really this was my first game of panoptica and I don’t think it was the best as the sons struggled from a number of factors Krak grens I think they maybe needed to roll to hit, I dunno if ap4 is too harsh

[@ja37d-34]

I should watch your HH-vids.. I just am so much into WHFB.. Damn..

[@BearfootMiniatures]

Haha whichever your interested in mate, and if there’s stuff I can do to make the watching of em better let me know and I’ll try and take it onboard!

[@ja37d-34]

@@BearfootMiniatures I like the stuff as it is! Frankly I have started to watch the WHFB again as i forgot some stuff and I like your style, the armies, pacing.. :)
