1. Remember the Devastating Wounds. 2. Remember you use the best Ld in the unit, so if there is a character, you use his Ld when doing Battleshock. 3. Remember Cover when being shot with Indirect. 4. Remember the +1 to hit when led by a character (Destroyers hit on 2+ with a character) 5. Remember your Stratagem to trigger Reanimation when losing a single model. You could've rebuilt multiple units when losing just a single model.

[@jacktrades867]

A shame Winters forgot that the Doomsday Ark gets Devastating Wounds on its big cannon if it stands still. He missed dealing 8 MW to the hellblasters in turn 2.

[@Noctem84]

Also a shame Hellblasters didn't finished of the Doomsday Ark in turn 1 instead of wasting the firepower on the Warriors. But I agree, its always a pain to see rules are being missed ^^

[@shanetuma3845]

Happens to the best if us.

[@wardenofmacragge2341]

Winters I know I say this a lot but you are the absolute best out there, your tables are unparalleled, your narration flawless, your armies beautiful and overall the most entertaining and best presented battle reports out there. You are the GOAT!

Dark Angels Chris is by far my favourite guest on your channel. Modest, funny and very tactical (with tha added bonus of analytical comments about how he’s thinking).

[@TheNobodyspecific]

Heya Winters. Regarding Hazardous, you made an error in the reading. It says "For each roll of 1, that test is failed and one model in that unit equipped with a Hazardous weapon is destroyed (selected by the controlling player), unless that model is a Character, Monster or Vehicle, in which case it suffers 3 mortal wounds instead." It didn't come into play at that moment, but worth remembering going forwards that a 1 does kill a model that isn't one of the specified exceptions.

[@Optionvideo209]

And it still shouldn't. Should just be d3 so there's a chance but maybe the dude survives because you know he is a super soldier and everything.

[@randomguy3849]

@@Optionvideo209 To be fair, it is a gun that shoots superheated plasma, or something equivalent, blowing up his not as well armored hands and arms. I don't think he'll survive something such as that

[@Optionvideo209]

@@randomguy3849 can't have it both ways though either he's a bad ass or not, know what I'm sayin. And yes he would theoretically switch hands and shoot it with the other hand.

I'm genuinely not sure if I've seen a 10th ed. SM list that didn't include a LR Reedemer lately 😅 This must be the 3rd or 4th battle report now on this channel only that features this glorious beast. Also, Azrael, Samael, and not just one, but to Predator Anihilator tanks making in appearance feels so good. I feel the nostalgia overtaking me, it is a good pain!

I really feel like everyone would have been way happier with tracks even if it did feel like it was just a suped up pred. Tbh I think that if they had of just made Marines bigger with better armor and said Cawl just found a way to make zygotes quicker faster marine production, that would have probably went over much better.

Winters, your slightly getting hazzardus wrong. its roll per gun with hazzardus that shot. so if somehting like 3 crisis suits fired 3 coocked CiBs, it would be 9 dice rolls

Commenting before watching this, played my Necrons vs Dark Angels Deathwing list and had a great battle, it was a hard fought game with a few clutch moments where we both had to make tactical decisions, ended up around 60-30 to the Necrons (we stopped properly counting after a while) but played 5 full turns and both had a decent amount of models left on the table. This edition is so much more of a game than 9th!

[@weeman9522]

To help protocol of the sudden storm gives a necrons unit assault keyword, lokhust would have been very effective with that extra movement and killing bikes alot earlier, also when you doomsday arks sit still they have devastating wounds you had alot of 6s to wound throughout this game, good game love me some necrons

Inner circle rule is addressed in page 17 of the rules commentary from GM. Damage can not be reduced lower than 1 👍🏻

[@flopo2295]

For Hellblaster and the bikes with plasma: Hazardous kills a modell, unless it is a monster, vehicle or character. Then they get 3 mortal wounds... P.S. I love your battle reports. You are the reason why I am back in the hobby.

[@-Kidzin]

I believe if you reanimate warriors close to objective with a strat, led by a character and within reanimator range you do get D3+3 D3+1 warriors back (so 2D3+4) Also how do you forget about Dev wounds on DDAs gun when stationary... It was 8 mortals on those hellblasters

[@BugleBatReps]

This is correct 😊

[@GordonCBurns]

It’s not how anyone is playing that strat. Winters, vanguard and Tabletop tactics are all playing this strat this way. It’s almost like they know something about how this strat is ment to be played. Totally understand that the wording is a bit off. But let’s stand on the shoulders of giants and learn from their example. :-)

[@klauskeller6380]

How do you get to that? Necron warrior ability says d3+3 instead of d3. So best case its d3+4 (you reanimate d3+1 from strat and instead of the d3 its d3+3 so d3+3+1)
