TITAN SHOWDOWN! Warlord vs Gargant Warhammer 40k battle report

[@crazygermn]

The ork forcefield should probably be an invuln, not a second set of regenerating wounds.

[@josephvaccariello4181]

No it was kinda blatently unfair for the gargent. Random attacks+shitty bs means it had no real chance cause no matter what it was going to be the one who got charged since it had to move closer to get its weapons all in range and to try to charge it meaning its always going to be the one to get charged. Combine that with its lack of invuln and bad bs the person who made this played way to into ork memery. (you can justify a 3+ bs by just saying theirs multiple meks inside of it and grots since grots have a 4+ bs and meks upgrade it to a 3+. Theirs also a good chance like the titan does like 96 dmg in a single swing meaning even charging it can likely result in a one shot

I'm pretty sure this is a surprisingly canonical representation of an actual Titan on Titan battle. - lots of shooting to weaken the other - leverages their 'big guns' as they get closer - finally charges and using melee turns one to scrap

Just a little thing, anti everything 2+ with dev wounds means every roll of a 2+ is treated as a crit for dev wounds meaning it would activate devastating wounds on a 2+ not a 6. Makes the rocket much more deadly! Very awesome battle report however!

Great to see the Warlord do something and not get completely bent over. It’s a shame that GW removed Void Shields. Hopefully they update the Titan rules and give them their Void Shields back.

[@jonbauml225]

Seems crazy right? In all the lore warlord titans have powerful shields. Heck, even in adeptus titanicus

[@Archie-d7w]

@@jonbauml225 correct, the true might of a Warlord Titan and the rest of the God Engines is shown well within the lore. The model did have Void Shields, same as the rest of the Titan models and then GW in their infinite wisdom decided that the Titans don’t need Void Shields anymore and then just deleted them. It’s such a shame that the Warlord Titan feels very tame and quite weak on the table top. Seeing the Titans get their Void Shields back would give me some more faith in GW and make me super happy.

[@wibblelord2633]

Wait, what.. No void shields? What do they have instead?

[@Archie-d7w]

@ nothing, but a standard armour save. For the Warlord it gets an armour 2+ save and a 5+ invulnerable save.

[@wibblelord2633]

@Archie-d7w thank you for the info

[@smol_hornet613]

This terrain homebrew is a rule that should've been in the game the moment a model of this size got an official datasheet. Man, this batrep was a blast! I think you guys really succeeded in making the game exciting even though it was basically just two huge models charging eachother across an 8ft board. The extra units definitely helped to spice things up. Would love to see more reports in this format!

[@themasqueradingcow91]

That terrain rule is a stepping on lego rule

[@Bluecho4]

Not to be That Guy...but according to the datasheet, the Great Gargant's forcefield should have been bracketed after going below 67 wounds. ... Not that it would have helped. (Great battle report!)

[@infinite13390]

- Alex here the guy who did the 10th ed layout - this was added after the fact, my fault, not Guy's. ;) I'm happy you paid close attention :)

In my oppinion, this is where 40k has its true potential. Cool stories from gamers for gamers. And it will supply us with decades of fun, no matter how many new editions GW tries to push on us.

God i just realized how LOUD that chainsaw would be! Like i already can't stand it normally but a storey tall one is crazy.

[@captainweekend5276]

I'm a bit disappointed by the gargant's rules because in my opinion it falls into the trap that a lot of ork datasheets do in making it swingy, but having it swing between doing average (for a unit of its type anyway) and terrible rather than great or terrible, having both the amount of attacks and damage being d6 based is just a recipe for being underwhelming. I think you could take the average of the d6s for the amount of shots and give them flat numbers as unlike other titans it's only hitting on 5s, swingy damage is fun, swingy shots aren't, especially on top of swingy damage. Also not having an invuln save is a bit mind boggling given even deff dredds have invulns, even having the forcefield, orks vehicles and walkers naturally have a 6+ invuln to represent their rugged reliability. Also you could probably get rid of the belly gun rule that requires it to remain stationary, it already has to get within 36" to fire and is one-shot, being close range but also requiring you to sit still means that you're fighting against the weapon's design to even use it, and it's likely by the time you can close that distance either you'll be dead before you can fire or your opponent will be almost dead and a lot of the damage will be wasted anyway. Also I do like the terrain crushing rule but I think it'd be better to only take the wounds from the largest piece of terrain rather from every piece, titans should be able to cross through most buildings with little regard, something like a shipping crate shouldn't pose a considerable hazard.

A clash of Titans, the ultimate powers of 40K 😃

[@JohnDoe-jc5kt]

The house rule for terrain was interesting. I kinda like it, but I also kinda don't. That seems like it needs terrain specifics. Like, if a behemoth titan walks into a tall radio tower (let's say 10 inches tall), that spindly tower could possibly deal a 10th of its health, even though in reality a titan would just walk past it. Same with a semi tall stack of crates which it'd just knock over. I think a terrain type needs to be established. Things like crates, basic buildings, or spindly towers are passive terrain. Whereas hazardous terrain like giant drills, reactors, or fallen ships that still have fuel in them are cause for hazard damage. It would definitely require some brain juice for the hazards, but I think it'd add to the immersion. Dunno if it'd be fun, might just be me. Still an awesome vid though!
