Trench Crusade Battle Report: New Antioch Vs Heretic Legions

[@SpymasterGaming]

Feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. We had some issues with the sound as we were filming in the store next to a main road so not ideal!

[@faxx2]

maybe a line of sight cam/miniature eye view

[@SpymasterGaming]

@@faxx2 yep, I need another phone haha

[@j0dance]

POV is wonderful, but personally if your running a chest rig it would benefit from stabilisation, it's quite difficult to watch shaky cam. Maybe just 2 or 3 static cams

[@SpymasterGaming]

@j0dance yeah definitely I'll move to that in the future. The chest rig is very temperamental

[@youraveragepotato9411]

You'd think that a simple +1 Dice to ranged wouldn't be a lot, but not having to roll at -1 Dice for Long Range is a pretty big deal as this battle showed.

[@BradBurning]

Hey guys enjoyed the battle report. I appreciated the back ground music, the use of both the fixed camera spot and the pov shots giving us different angles, would appreciated some more mid shots just to make it easier to pick which model is which as they all look a bit samish from the full board shots. Around 33 mins and a few other times the grenade injury roll used its blood marker from shrapnel on its own injury roll which you can't do. The BM from shrapnel isn't applied until after the injury roll. at 42mins one of you do also say "its a shame you can only spend one blood marker at a time", You can! also not sure if you said which rule set you played this on but with 1.4 there is also the blood bath rule which lets you spend the in another way. There are rules for shooting into combat, its in the margin in V1.4, basically its a 50/50 who you hit. For future vids would appreciate the army list in the description along with what version of your on. Thanks guys looking forward to the next one.

[@SpymasterGaming]

@bradburning thank you very much for the comprehensive feedback! I'll digest this and make sure we tweak it for the next one. We did record this before v 1.4 released probably should have stated that!

[@TheWujuStyle]

Bloodbath would have come up when the LT charged the downed heretic, instead of spending the blood marker for the grenade and the sword, the offhand attack could have benefitted from bloodbath to have greater odds of finishing off his target.

[@RETSAMXET]

Dice cam :) also more dice more tape measures , great video !!

[@SpymasterGaming]

@RETSAMXET we had a dice cam but it failed after ten minutes so will definitely be putting it in again

[@texassasquatch5734]

New Sub...Very good paint job on BOTH Armies...

[@SpymasterGaming]

@texassasquatch5734 thanks very much. They were great to paint 😀

[@noelerzz9739]

HOLY SHIT! This was filmed at my local hobby shop!!!

[@SpymasterGaming]

@noelerzz9739 whoo! And hopefully we'll be filming many more battle reports too

[@ItWasSaucerShaped]

really enjoyed the batrep at 18:28, the witch should have been at +1 dice; her special ability when attacking with her bomb has her ignore any cover the unit is behind

[@SpymasterGaming]

@@ItWasSaucerShaped thank you. We're learning as we go!

[@last2nkow]

hey hey! new viewer here, i just wanted to show some support for the channel and say, good game folks! i really like your conversions for Trench crusade, i think im going to have a kitbash myself! i have some Delaques and some Chaos Bolldied si i think some heretics are in the cards! this was the first Crusade skirmish ive had the chance to watch, and i really like the 2d6 system. very simple, but plenty of variety with the different unit types. it was interesting to see swarm vs heavy elites as the first bat-rep. id love to see a more even numbered game, just to see what it looks like. i look forward to more from the channel! great choice on the low background music, btw. it really adds a lot of atmosphere!

[@SpymasterGaming]

Thanks very much for the feedback. Delaque would be a great base for dome priestly conversions with their robes! We're going to be doing another one soon, 450 ducats a side to speed it up and tighten up the video as an hour is a long old watch!

[@eustacethemonk2176]

I really enjoyed it! It was fun to watch, and it was really useful to help me learn the rules (I just got into the game a week ago or so). The only thing I would change is have two static cameras on opposite ends of the battlefield, rather than a mobile camera and a static camera. That way it would be easier to see the action because you can cut to the camera that can see the most when you need to. If you have a spare camera, definitely get a static shot over the dice rolling area -- it would make it easier to follow the die rolls because you can cut to them and the audience could see what's being rolled. Please make more! Loved it! :D

[@SpymasterGaming]

Thank you very much. Next game I think we will adopt this approach but I'm going to reduce the ducats values of the warbands to 450 each side to make a tighter battle report

[@Colonel-WhiteRaven126]

I’m definitely going to be following along as this game looks great

[@SpymasterGaming]

Welcome to the Trenches 😀

[@NerdishNature]

Love the music too.

[@SpymasterGaming]

@@NerdishNature thanks 😀

[@chronotub1528]

oh wow, those blast templates take me back.

[@SpymasterGaming]

@@chronotub1528 yep, we raided the stores copy of necromunda 1995 so we could use them!

[@gertsameys622]

Do you measure from the middle of the models base or the front of the base?

[@SpymasterGaming]

@@gertsameys622 personally? From the front

[@deathmagnetic300]

What miniatures are the Apoch guys from? The Knights with swords?

[@SpymasterGaming]

@deathmagnetic300 it's a sci fi knight range. If you check my antioch warband video all the components are in there 😀

[@Zen_Ronin]

I'm watching this months after so forgive me if this has already been corrected or if it was the reslut of a rule change but, at around 42:42 one of you states that it's a shame you can only spend 1 Blood Marker at a time. This isn't true, you may spend as many as you like for an injury role up to 6 I believe, which is condisered a Bloodbath. But if you wanted to spend 2 Blood Markers for 2 -dice, so that you could increase the odds of lower numbers rolled, you may. At least that's how I understand it. I'm still fairly new to TC so I'm stil trying to wrap my head around a lot of it. Good game. Enjoyed the match!

[@SpymasterGaming]

@@Zen_Ronin yeah it was an early iteration of the rules. You are absolutely correct now. Bloodbath wasn't even s thing at this point haha

[@repentandrejoice3155]

Love this and the channel, just wondering if it’s at all possible to know where the new Antioch models are from or anything I love the trench cleric and sniper priest

[@SpymasterGaming]

@@repentandrejoice3155 thanks for the kind words. They are both kitbashes. The cleric used a free model from the knights range I used in my warband creation video and the priest is an adeptus mechanicus model with a cities of sigmar major rifle and a 3d printed capirote

[@Neoreaver]

Just throw in some closer, sweeping angles interspersed with the POV and overhead camera angles, and you've got a banger series.

[@SpymasterGaming]

Thank you!

[@TheCPTSicarius]

What models did you use for the shock troops

[@SpymasterGaming]

@@TheCPTSicarius if you check my other video on the new antioch warband all the components are in there

[@zombiebees7375]

Is there a reason you played on a 6x4 size instead of the reccommended 3x3 or 4x4 size?

[@SpymasterGaming]

@zombiebees7375 it was just the camera angle, it was a 4 x 4 we were playing on

[@zombiebees7375]

@@SpymasterGaming ah good stuff, thanks for the clarification.

[@anon9579]

Go New Antioch

New Antioch Christ be praised.

@@dustydesertdisciple6290 I don't know where he was during this game.....sure could have used his help haha

[@Thomas-mb2wr]

How does one get 5 legionaires without having a total of 10 troopers since you can only upgrade half of your troopers to legionaires?

[@SpymasterGaming]

He had five of each 😀

[@lootnscoot50]

Thought you can’t dash after shooting unless you have assault?

[@SpymasterGaming]

@lootnscoot50 no you're thinking of charge. You can only charge if you shoot and have an assault weapon 😀

[@connorl6944]

I feel like I would have slightly bad feels if someone pulled out the 3" blast template when the witch missed by 3"... and then said it didn't hit haha. Math ain't mathing.

[@SpymasterGaming]

@connorl6944 yep we were both pretty slow working that out.....haha

[@deryckeisner2889]

How many points was this battle

[@SpymasterGaming]

@@deryckeisner2889 700 ducats, no glory points

[@ascarcelle1]

Is this simpler than 40k

[@SpymasterGaming]

@ascarcelle1 it's skirmish level so plays quicker and yes I believe it I'd as the mechanics are easy to understand

[@chuckhoyle1211]

Here is a list the New Antioch player can try out: Clan MacLeod Kingdom of Alba Assault Detachment Elites Lieutenant Connor MacLeod with Machine Gun, Greatsword, Gas Mask, Helmet, Binoculars, Sword and Standard Armor (181 Duckets) Sniper Priest Angus MacLeod with Sniper Rifle and Shovel (90 Duckets) Infantry Mechanised Heavy Infantry Serial Number 0U812 with Machine Armor, Grenade Launcher, Greatsword, and Helmet (147 Duckets) Combat Medic Amelia MacLeod (65 Duckets) Combat Engineer Phil McCracken with Submachine Gun and Trench Shield (125 Duckets) Shocktrooper Odie McCracken with Standard Armor, Greatsword, Automatic Shotgun, and Helmet (92 Duckets) Fireteam 1: Connor MacLeod and 0U812 Fireteam 2: The McCracken brothers 700 total duckets

[@SpymasterGaming]

@chuckhoyle1211 the alba list looks like great fun. What are you using as models to represent them?

[@chuckhoyle1211]

@@SpymasterGaming I have not had a chance yet, but I probably will this weekend. I just discovered this game a couple weeks ago. One tweak I did make was to ditch the binoculars and give swords to the Lt and Heavy infantry. They are both Strong so they can dual wield greatswords and swords.

[@SpymasterGaming]

@chuckhoyle1211 love it. My lieutenant has two swords too. Ifs great fun to play with them as melee monsters with grenades. Use grenade, assault, and then melee with two.blades....perfection
