[@ed8930]

I thought that the Pallas were in a squadron, meaning that they cannot split fire so would have to both target the same unit at 27:30, not that it had any impact with those rolls.... 1:08:40 you talk about bracing with a vehicle, but since it requires a Morale test to Hold the Line it means that vehicles wouldn't be able to do it, however the Punisher Rotary Cannon is only strength 6 so counts as a defensive weapon so can be used in Return Fire and Overwatch. I love the fire you have for explosions, looks great on camera.

[@SNBattleReports]

Yes you are correct they made a mistake there. #newbie

[@sn_dc]

It was made as a gift from Benji (check out at Standfast Studios on Instagram) - I’m not 100% sure but it’s AOS you’re right, an old CSM pack and the Crozius off the HH Calth boxset?

[@hushblas]

@@sn_dc Appreciate it. It totally has a regal but menacing feel.

[@Pnut0118]

You guys are playing Breaching wrong. It doesn't auto wound like rending does, so the breaching (4+) warpfire cannon firing at S6 into a T7 contemptor would only get breaching on a 5+, since those are successful wounds. Love the batreps :>

[@SNBattleReports]

Didn’t we play it like that?

[@gilledgar2243]

Hey! missed the hord of WB marines during the explosions!

[@SNBattleReports]

What you mean boss?

[@gilledgar2243]

When the 2nd sicaran exploded (the big explosion) the big blob of marines (with erebus, fighting the costodes) surely where in range of the explosion?

[@sn_dc]

Think they were out of range Gill but even if they weren’t nothing can harm Erebus 😎

[@Ryan-sy2uc]

Argel Tal should have options for a guardian spear, and access to 3-5 winged gal vorbak retinue

[@SNBattleReports]

[@sn_dc]

That would be so cool! I have the model so you’ll see him in a report

[@NJA42]

In the various rules books, I can’t find the rules for melta bombs hitting automatically. Are you able to advise how you determined that?

[@SNBattleReports]

Melta bombs don’t auto hit its Krak Grenades that do

[@Txaka666]

Why was the scatter roll for Mhara Gal just 1 dice plus the scatter dice? I always thought that the scatter for blast is 2d6 and the scatter dice. Is there a rule I am missing?

[@jeffwatson7345]

at 30:14 , don't las cannons have sunder? so you could have re-rolled your failed armor pen rolls?

🙌🏽 Goad you enjoyed it Robert

[@MrKneeby]

In turn 1 the pallas' would only be able to hit units that the weapons are pointed at as they are hull mounted, like the sabre, so would only have had shots into the tac squads (from what I could tell). They don't have turrets or sponson firing arcs unfortunately, so they always have to directly face their target. Still a really fun game and obligatory "F*** Erebus!"

Hey buddy yeah we always just from the front arc. Maybe sometimes the video angles look different. Glad you are enjoying it

[@raphie8488]

Btw. all Marines have two close combat weapons. Edit: Basic close combat weapons - All models are considered to have some form of basic close combat weapon. So even Terminators have them and that means that every model gets +1 attack unless they use breacher shields, specialist or two handed weapons. Tell me if I got that one wrong and basic close combat weapons are also excluded.

[@SNBattleReports]

This is incorrect sir

[@raphie8488]
