The outcome of this game was decided when they decided to play on a board with absolutely zero hiding spots for monsters.

[@ponli7532]

He could protect some of them but there aren't any boards that can protect all of them, best case is then to do threat overload. Otherwise you are just letting the enemy kill you piecemeal.

[@corvanphoenix]

Stampede isn't a great Detachment, so it's an uphill struggle even if the map is advantageous.

It feels like when one member of the cast wants to run a meme list the other member doesn't get the memo. 1250(?) pts and Tycho opts for a 10man of Hellblasters? They're mean in 2k, I feel a little bad for Mubin having to face then at so critically low a point value.

[@steviet6878]

Game over by the end of 1st Battle Round unfortunately .......Crusher Stampede fells more like a..... Casual Stroll

[@captainweekend5276]

I beat crusher stampede nids with my sisters of battle the other day, (not saying to brag, just mentioning given how weak sisters are atm) with all but one of my opponent's units being T10+. The issue is the detachment rule is really easy to ignore if they only take monsters, because you can just focus fire them one at a time and ignore the crusher stampede rule since they're either uninjured or dead. Funny thing is sisters have the same rule and it doesn't work particularly well for them, but miracle dice is a far better army rule than shadow of the warp, and can help work around wounding harder targets. Crusher is definitely the weaker of the new detachments, honestly invasion fleet seems to be the strongest still.

[@valbroderick8156]

​@@captainweekend5276Battleshock is a joke in 10th edition. Most armies have 6-7 as their leadership stat, which means that it's actually less likely to fail than it is to succeed on them. That, combined with [Shadow in the Warp] to force enemy units to take a battleshock test once per battle means that their main ability doesn't really do anything most of the time. I've only seen it actually change the outcome of a battle once a x that was on "Play on Tabletop."

[@gdmunn83]

I nearly switched off with the exocrine and swarmlord both dying battle round 1, swarmlord wasn't even in space marines turn 😢 hellblasters are brutal

[@ViApp0]

JT's comment about overwatching infernus marines was absolutely correct as they're not a threat at all.

[@souleat65]

that was a well played bait i'd say, pretty sure Mubin fell for it because he saw an opportunity to end his loosing streak, didn't care what they were as long as they'd die, obviously didn't work out too well for him

[@BoisegangGaming]

Feels like that even if the models themselves are tanky, any army with less than double digit units are extremely handicapped because a single one can just get alpha striked before it can do anything. Maybe its more a flavor thing but i really feel like the "big monster stampede" detachment should be able to re-roll charges, or at least have a minumum charge of like 4 inches. Maybe thats unbalanced. Edit: also from a mechanical point of view, I dont get why charges dont actually move the distance even if they fail. Just kind of wierd to have something go "im going to charge you" and then just scooby-doo in place.

[@shadowmancy9183]

From an older edition's explanation- they realize it's not actually a good idea, and fall back to where they started from.

[@BoisegangGaming]

@shadowmancy9183 the mental image of them just walking back to their starting position is just really game-y and funny. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense from a game feel perspective, imo, but I guess that's how it's been for some time. I get it would be a "free move" since as far as I can tell there's no penalty for not charging, but it would just make more sense. I've not really played many wargames before- mostly just Tabletop RPGs- but even then it feels like wrong to just have a "nothing happens because you fail" element in something called a "charge".

[@shadowmancy9183]

@@BoisegangGaming Warmachine Mk. 2 had it pretty good- you'd declare the charge, move, then measure to see if you were in range to fight or not. Miss the charge in front of a gun line? Sucks to suck, hope you weren't too attached to that unit.

I'm surprised there is no rule for under half strength units disembarking from a transport needing to take a battle-shock test. They have a rule for repositioned units needing to take the battle-shock test if they were under half strength but weren't on the battlefield during the command phase.

Ok, so i love your quality BatReps but playing Crusher Stampede with what... 1250 pts? on this board? I think, Mubin should get another try at 2k pts. on a decent map (Mubin, eat those Hellblasters in melee!!!).

[@AlainPilon]

I guess this confirms that Crusher Stampede is the worst detachment in the codex. I play 2 games (2000pts) so far with them just to make sure they were as bad as they look and yep. The detachment bonus never really matters and rarely kicks in. And I would have taken tankshock any times instead of that stupid charge.

[@MubinTalati]

I'm curious did you play with Tactical or Fixed objectives? because from my experience fixed seems to be the betterway to go with Crusher

[@91elpiris]

@@MubinTalatiMakes sense. Unless you take some cheap swarms or a biovore, you can’t score signals or engage on all fronts with only 7 slow monsters. Anyway this seems like a meme army, even with fixed secondaries. Going monsters only does not seem viable at all, specially against 10 hellblasters at 1200 points

[@shadowmancy9183]

A friend out in Hawaii tried it out for fun at 2k and slaughtered his opponent. No idea whether he took tactical or fixed, but he took some chaff units like Rippers to help with secondary scoring. His opinion is that it's pretty competitive, but takes a decent amount of thought to run well. If your opponent didn't overload on anti-monster, you have a decent shot by virtue of army construction.

[@captainweekend5276]

@@shadowmancy9183 Not gonna lie but it sounds like your friend just lucked out on his opponent not taking enough high strength/damage weapons. The issue with crusher stampede is that if you build it like a normal list then you may as well go for invasion fleet. Getting +1 to hit for being damaged and +1 to wound for being under half sounds good until you realise just focus firing monsters completely counters the ability. The core issue is all the time you aren't injured, you don't have a detachment ability, and you only benefit when you're already disadvantaged. I think it's possible to do well with the detachment, but you're pretty much just gimping yourself compared to other options.

[@shadowmancy9183]

@@captainweekend5276 If I recall, he used a lot of small units. Carnifexes, exocrines, at least one haruspex, hive tyrant as warlord, psychophage, a tyrranofex, and then a bunch of chaff (I think it came out to around 400 points) via rippers and gaunts.
