Five Parsecs from Home 7-6 : Combat Drops
First comment here to say... Keep on! Nevertheless, I expect this time luck is with you! Yes, I write while still watching!
Yooou monster 😛 Hope you enjoyed! 😁
Blue is the best, you are definitely right :D Glad the advice was useful... can't apologise for dice though.
I blame you entirely for the luck, stealin' my zoggin' luck! 😛 Your advice was great, thanks! 😁
Love the Sons of Behemat. Great Job Chipperz
Hell yeah 😎 Thanks!
Not sure if you know about the balance update but knights now don’t start on the board they enter on your turn 2 movement phase
Ooooo I didn't! I kinda figured that, for all GW's noise about it, Spearhead was gonna go into the same ghetto as Combat Patrol and never see any rules changes so I didn't bother to check 🤣 That... Is a great change honestly - the Slaves to Darkness spearhead is miles too strong, even with it's complete clobbering this time 🤣
Death by Masonry is crazy
I like to think there's at least one chaos god going "you got... Squashed by a house on a chain..? I... Don't know how to work with this..." 😛
Hell of a mission, old chap! Looks like you've upset the dice gods. Have you considered sacrificing a deck of cards and a dozen poker chips? Also, what leads a guy to buy an entire cauldron of bats? I'm having trouble getting enough aliens and adventurers.
I may try sacrificing a deck of cards, I love that 🤣 I've also considered getting a dice jail but sacrifices sound more dramatic 🤣 I got them in a pack of 20 for a game of Traveller where I wanted an interplanetary swarm 😁 They're from a store whose owner went on a... Bit of an episide and I try not to shout out any more ☹️ I tend to shop on etsy now - a lot of companies who do 28mm can print minis at 15mm if you message and ask - and I'll always shout out Checkpoint Miniatures and Ground Zero Games for cool 15mm minis 😁
These additional rules are brutal. I love them!
Same! It makes the wins feel waaay more earned! On the other hand, I'd like them to give me a break 🤣
It'll be fine... foreshadowing!! I love the videos, keep it up!
It's always fiiiine 🤣 Thanks so much, always more to come 😁
On the other hand, keep the good work!
Will do! 😁
When you say "things are horribly wrong" I feel it is only going to get worse!! HAHAHAHA
It's my new "I'm feeling confident!" 🤣 One day things'll work out! 🤣
The Varg'r ate my homework?
Oh god that's good 🤣 May steal that for a future title 🤣
I played the exact same matchup last night and mine went very differently. I won't say as to not spoil this batrep for anyone. Gargants are the Spearhead I use most, and the most effective things I have found for them is to keep the two standard giants together, literally touching bases side by side. That way, no matter where they get charged from, they are each close enough to activate against the enemy. So whichever unit charges the giants then has to face down 2 of them bellowing, stuffing into pants and twice as many attacks as just a single one. Also, interestingly I don't go for foe chompers but the strikes last regiment ability. I don't feel like I need foe chompers due to the fact they reinforce anyway. If I lose a Giant, I can just bring it back in a more advantageous position and give it another chance to charge in and provide strikes last. And the other thing I do different is not choose the double bag-stuffing for the general because it is not as good as it looks - it has to be used on two different units. And if your general is in combat with 2 units at the same time? Chances are he is dead regardless of how many bags he has. The new paintjobs look awesome on the Gargants by the way. The handprint idea is great.
Oooo I'll take all that on board! It hadn't even occures to me to have both side by side - do you find it hinders board control? I tend to split them up to go for objectives (I swear even if it doesn't look like it!). I may try alternate options and play around, but I do like my big lada eating people 🤣 And cheers! It was suggested last game to make them look a bit different from the back and... Yup. Makes sense 🤣
@@Chipperz1 It can definitely hinder board control, yeah. But my usual game plan is setup on two objectives if possible, then by the end of turn 1 try to have my little brick of two Gargants holding hands on the centre objective (if they couldn't make a charge that is) and my general sort of hovering nearby behind. With their movement and charge range thrown in, the giants can reach anywhere on the board from the centre spot so control doesn't always need to be a problem. Against spearheads with a lot of models too, I learned by a happy little accident that being the gargant player and getting to choose diagonal deployment is great since it squeezes the opponent into a corner where you can just keep them penned in. Against some spearheads though, I think the giants just can't win the board control game since you can't have the three of them be everywhere at once. But who cares, I just want to smash things up with giants, and if I win then that's a bonus XD
Thanks for that! Good idea on the warpaint.
Thanks! 😁 The idea is that they're lined up like a rugby scrum - gone full British with it 🤣
That looks like cloth to me pal, not wood... just saying :P
Touché 😛
Absolutely wild! Great fire fight!
Right! I genuinely thought it was lost several times 😅
10:11 you say the boss can't be knocked back. I thought if you were forced into another figure they both got a stun token and the struck figure moved an inch back. Random movement page 42. 23:00 Janette and Justice (Rx 3 and 4) fire at the Specialist, but the Specialist hasn't taken his turn in the Enemy activation phase (unless they have exceptionally fast reflexes). Finally, I don't allow tracking targets that have fired turn to turn in low visibility scenarios. IRL they are muzzle flashes not continuous fire. It's why you use grenades and bayonets in night fighting. If the figure has an appropriate sight I may let them track a target. Tracker Sight, Unity Battle Sight, or Battle Visor come to mind.
Huuuuh I absolutely missed that knocking back rule! Awesome, I'll start doing that! 😅 I almost certainly missed activating an enemy - they were CLEARLY lying in ambush 🤣 I tend to assume everyone knows the basic location of everyone else on the field through a combination of scanners, noise and general movement - all excuses, but I can justify most nonsense
Thank you for pointing out how hard it was to figure out how difficult mathing is regarding placement of the reinforcement markers. How far do you place the starting forces onto the board? It can be 9". I typically try 6" unless it puts me closer to an objective that lets me insta win the game. 20:50 Frag Vest is 6+ save.
In the earlier games, I tended to put minis on vaguely 6"-9" line depending on what made sense, but after I got the Compendium I started setting up at 9" with a BIT more thought for the crew and using deployment variables to randomise 🙂
So you're keeping Justice? Why not use Stars of the Story "Looked worse than it was"? You could let Justice go. So what he's crippled and the planet is about to get invaded. 20 Cr and 5 turns Just seems like a "Did you ever meet my mate!" especially since you have so few CT left.
Yeah, figured I was close enough to the end so I let it ride 😁 I'm very sentimental about my tiny toy soldiers 🤣
One question @chipperz1! Where did you get your vehicles? Are they 3D printed? Thanks!
Lots of places! Basically any time I get 15mm models I see if the store has civilian vehicles to add to the collection 😅 The smaller ones are old Laserburn minis, some sports cars are from Headbunny, the big yellow truck and hover VWs are from Checkpoint Miniatures, a bunch are from various etsy stores... 😁
Nice video! Trapped and deadly!
I was about to say "always outnumbered, never outgunned" but... Both this time 🤣
Beasts go after the nearest target and they will attack the same target, but Hanna has the speed to just kite them and draw them to her allies. The melee really made this a nail biter.
Yeah, I love a good kite! It's all good fun until you run out of board to run to... :P
Aliens.
An absolute classic, no doubt 😁
Ok I'm crazy but I keep hearing, "Exterminate! Exterminate!"
The only thing worth hearing! 😁
Earth...the sea of Okhotsk in the middle of the winter with the KGB navy telling us we were in a missile test range. That was a hell planet. Everything was so cold that our breath condensed and there was an inch of water on the deck in the berthing spaces. Ice all over the outside of the ship. Etc.
OK, yup, yup that sounds... Not fun 😬
Your first Battlefield Event...at the end of every turn one enemy gets to act again at random? I don't think you did that throughout the game? :(
God did I not? 😖 That result still gives me PTSD 🤣
Maaaaybe the orruks were forewarned, and the "poison" is holy water they managed to liberate from the local church?
OK, I love that. I love the image of orcs stealing "da burny water" to fight the undead so much 🤣
Wrong stats on used killerboss no scare taktikz first round
Yeah someone else pointed out that I totally botched the timing on Skare Taktiks - I genuinely checked and misread 😖 Didn't notice I got the stats wrong either! Gork wanted the Kruleboyz to lose 🤣
14:25 no all units use their abilities at the start of the combat phase no need to wait for them to be able to attack… the whole Orruk army can use its scare tactics it’s eye biter ash the murk knob banner and its waagh before the enemy can choose a unit to fight. It’s a very strong ability that if they don’t use then they are really just being wasted as an army
ACK goddammit 😅 The worst part is that I looked up the timing and everything 🤣 Sorry Kruleboyz!
Cheers. This sounds like brilliant fun.
I hope you enjoy! 😁
Good stuff, glad to see the Transporter taking affect nicely. Hopefully the rolls for it keep a'comin and we see a lot more mid-fight transporter beacons going off :D
Oh I will use it every game unless it means I wouldn't start the game with any models on the board, I am already in love 🤣 I honestly won't lose too much sleep if my rolls don't stay this transcendentally good in future - the stars absolutely aligned this time, but I'm sure it'd get old being THAT easy every time! Besides, it'll be a lot more funny dropping Naoki and DeLaurentis into the middle of the enemy to werf some flams 🤣
Nice. Makes me want to start running 5PH again. Void Bastards really don't seem to have much in the way of brains. They should have left the planet 10 Campaign Turns ago.
The Void Bastards are the kind of people who don't learn unless you school 'em properly 😎
Imagine this happening early on in your run. I know I have said this before but reaction speed is critical for controlling the battlespace. I notice that you don't use Snap Fire very much. The times I have played (not many). I developed a "sniper" early on. Improved combat stat and reactions stat. Plus anything that got them to higher ground quickly. Game changer.
Oh earlier in the campaign would have ruined me 😅 Also my sniper characters never seem to bloody do anything when I run them! They just stay at the back missing everything! 🤣
Are you using Easy difficulty? You say you are giving MVP XP each Post Battle Report. Is that the extra XP awarded for Easy difficulty?
Normal difficulty - the MVP XP is what I sometimes refer to as the bonus xp you can get for spending a Story Point 🙂 I use it less once I get to the "get 10 upgrades" campaigns where I just do it every mission to speed it up 😅
Instead of running in close go vertical. You have lots of connex containers to climb. Gives you better line of sight and the runners have to climb to get you.
Oh I mostly run in close to get the point blank bonus 😅 When I get the Compendium and start using the Dramatic Combat rules, I start staying (relatively) further back and start using height and angles better. Dramatic combat is great and I won't go back 🤣
Hi
Hey! 😁
Great bat rep. We need more SoB spearhead content on UA-cam. Every giant gets to do the -1 hit bellow each turn, not just the one. Definitely helps them to survive!
Oh! OH! I read the "pick a friendly unit" and missed that it wasn't a one per turn ability 🤣 Sweet, thanks! 😁
Absolutely when you are happy makes the video better - your enjoyment is contagious! I might suggest painting the gargants so they have more contrast from behind, since they always seem to be facing away from the camera. I know we're not here for the paint-jobs, but this might be a simple touch up? Or have the gargants facing the camera for a change? Looking forwards to your next game! (PS: how DARE you barrack for anyone but the gargants?! For shame! 😋 )
I have to rep for the Kruleboyz! They're my babies! MAH BABIES! 😛 I was considering giving them some tattoos/warpaint to make them look different and you've pushed me over the edge 😅 They suffer from the fact that it's just the same model 3 times and, while they definirely have some customisation, it's basically head, hands and feet so the paint job is a must 😅 Fun customisation fact, though - their warlord IS the warlord because he genuinely has an extra finger/toe on each hand/foot - 5 instead of 4. It's a bizarre thing for them to add as customisation and I don't think anyone would know it was there, but I kinda love that it is 🤣
@@Chipperz1 That's hilarious!😄
I could have sworn you got frak grenades at least twice. Why isn't Zak using them at the end to take out the hold out?
Honestly? 'Cos I'm rubbish at remembering abilities and one-use items 😅 One campaign I ended up with a special dice on screen at all times to remind myself I had Stimpacks 🤣
Zack has PTSD and is drowning his sorrows at the local cantina. Also with everyone thinking of settling down he is wondering if he really will be achieving his goal of "Freedom" for his people.
Oooooo like this a lot 😁
Specializing is helpful. Ariana is going to be clutch. Plus you can use her to repair all those broken bits of kit you have picked up. I know I am late to the party but I really have to suggest that you spend some points on reaction. One person with a 3 is great, but you really need some more 2s to give your team more flexibility. Another good reason to spread the xp is campaign events and bad luck in combat may just force you to work without your "best" units.
You are absolutely correct on both fronts! ...I have some very bad news for you about how often I will have the crap kicked out of me to learn these lessons 😅
@@Chipperz1 🤣
Welcome back! Hope you had a good Crimbo. Good game also, loved the 'Feeling Confident' bit :P Get anything good for Crimbo?
Had a phenomenal Christmas, spent it playing board games with the family! My mum got me the GW branded paint water pot, servo skull mixing palette and a model holder. They are unironically fucking brilliant. Not enough to recommend spending your own money on, but as a gift? Hell yes 😁 Hope you had a great time and got tons of swag too 😁
Thanks again for your episodes! I love your engagement and enthusiasm.
Thank you so much! I'll try to keep it up for at least this year too 🤣
Space Naztees! Oh man, they are always everywhere it seems. Lol Have a fantastic 2025. On a future episode, please let us know a little bit of your vision for the channel, like what you plant to continue and what new things you plan to try out. All the very best success in your every endeavor! Howdy from East Texas!!! PS. I get the feeling that Singh lives with deep regret over orders he knows he should have never followed, perhaps orders that resulted in the abandonment of a crew that looked up to him, and he has spent every minute after that trying to atone by living an exemplary conscience driven life.
They're a classic for a reason! Plus they're calorie free - you can shoot as many as you want and never feel bad 😁 I actually just uploaded a video for my 2025 plans! Time to see if links woooork... ua-cam.com/video/reb-EsRijIM/v-deo.html <- I have no idea if this link will work in comments 😅 If it doesn't, back to Turnip28 then Space Weirdos for Battle Box Batrep, more Legions Imperialis (once I finish painting the bloody Mechanicum. They've been a nightmare...) and I didn't actually put any 5 Parsecs plans, but next up are The Marshalls, a bounty hunter team who are gonna do "Kill 10 Unique Individuals" using the urban fights rules from the Compendium, and Ranger Squad Delta, who are just gonna be a flat "survive 50 turns" run but with a military spec ops theme 😁 Hope you have a great and safe 2025 from over here in England! Stay safe, healthy and all that good stuff 😁 Also yeah, I think that works. Singh has absolutely failed exactly once to keep someone alive and she will not let that happen again...
@ “calorie free”. LOL. I like that!
Prawns are in District 9. Great movie.
Thassaone! District 13 is the parkour one that is also great, but for different reasons 😁
Thanks for another session of 5PFH!
You're absolutely welcome, it's always a pleasure! 😁
Yay the Gargants!
Zog yeah! Finally got the glorious carnage they promised 🤣
Nice video! A video tripod is going to make recording these way easier for you so you’re not having to do everything with one hand 😂. Also are you looking at any new spearhead armies to get?
Bah! I do everything one hande... That came out wrong 😛 I actually got one ages ago, but for some reason it never stayed properly and kept slowly rotating my phone 🫤 I used it once for my April Fool's video (admittedly my best work) and then went back to shooting by hand - I should see about trying again 😅 I am indeed! I'm gonna have a bit of a break after the Sons of Behemat to do a bit more Turnip28 and some 15mm gaming, but the next four planned as of now are Seraphon, Darkoath, Nighthaunt and Gitmob Grotz 😁 Hopefully after a bit of a break GW will have released another Spearhead set with some new twists, too!
@ sweet can’t wait to see the dark path play, nobody else online has uploaded any gameplay of their spearhead yet.
Great game! Good to see you're feeling a bit better too 👍
Thanks so much 😁 Yeah, still not 100% (I can hewr me croaking 🤣) but I hope the fact I had a greag time came across 😁
@@Chipperz1 Oh yeah, I could tell you were having ball!
I love the armies and the board. Top stuff
Thank you so much 😁
