Переглядів 4805 місяців тому
Hey everyone! We're a group of Southern California Horus Heresy players starting up a group to expand the Heresy community. This is our first podcast episode where we discuss how we each got into the game, how to get new players involved and the upcoming Beta Garmon campaign book.... as well as a few tangents. And here's the link to Heresy tickets at the Palm Springs open: www.dicehammer.org/me...
Fantastic first attempt lids x
Thanks!!

I was the hundredth subscriber. I like the quality content from non Brits
@@sf6break thanks!! I’m glad our fake American accents are paying off 😂
Now this is dope! Go luna wolves one of my favorite pre primarch legions
A good looking table and nice battle report
@@DrNutta05 thanks!!
Really nice battle report. Love the discussion. Great game board. Where did you get the gaming Matt from? Thank you.
Thanks!! It's the Ruined City matt from Frontline Gaming
Excellent report, great job guys 🎉
Thank you!!
Well done, keep up the good work.
Thanks!!
Always so confusing to hear these things without British accents, but I'll allow it.
@@Hedgehog_Prime 😂 very kind of you!
Enjoyed watching the game. Fantastic terrain setup. Is your group open to playing other local players?
@@brianabela4533 yes, definitely!
Started off nice but huge turnoff with the Artificer Armor tanking all those hits. That's something competitive 40k players would do and is not in the spirit of narrative 30k. How do you even explain that narratively? You can't, its pure gameyness Even SN battle reports use a modified version based on initiative
@@JackD-z7v thanks for the feedback! This was our first report and we stuck to things by the book in the one, but we are definitely open to making changes that will make future reports even better!
@@hammersanddice I second this guy's recommendation, it's the best homebrew rule I've seen TBH
@@hammersanddice Dont stress it TBH. Making thematic lists and playing them well is *hardly* against the spirit of 30k. the artificer whining is a long standing 30k tradition dating back to 1.0.
Narratively I'd explain it the same way Winters SEO does: "Get behind me, men! Get behind me!" It represents the squad leader drawing the enemy's fire and making himself a prominent target. I don't generally take artificer armour for my sergeants (probably in short supply after Calth), but it doesn't super bother me.
Love the Luna Wolves!
niceeee
Great report. I appreciate your discussion of tactics as you take your turns. Looking forward to the next battle report!
Thanks! Hopefully we'll get the next one up soon!!
Here's a link to download a PDF of the mission we discuss in the episode! drive.google.com/file/d/1mhE1i0jrCAMfZPPUwl1ElpXss-oDwiou/view?usp=sharing
Rules correction: Rules as written, technically Heavy chainswords are not included in the Deathwing unit sub-type to gain +1 to hit. This feels like it’s probably an oversight, but it doesn’t appear to have been addressed in the FAQs yet.
No Rite of War is an option and there are the core Rites of War. Also, the Legiones Astartes(Ultramarines) rule applies to any *model* shooting at a target another friendly unit with it shoots at it. Ultramarines tanks benefit and confer the benefit to others. Edit: Recommend putting a link to a DropBox or Google Doc PDF version of the mission.
@@OrangeD3x thanks for the feedback! you’re absolutely right, there are some other great options for running the ultramarines! Our intent here was to comment on the disparity in available legion specific rights of war, but we can get a bit caught up in the moment sometimes! Regarding the ultramarines legion rule, you’re correct. we were talking about the logos lectura benefits specifically only being able to be utilized by infantry and how that encourages infantry heavy lists. And yes, I will get a PDF of the mission posted soon!
I don't get why people complain about new versions of games, if you don't want to play 3.0 for example find other players willing to play 2.0, just because a new edition is released doesn't mean you are forced to get it. I am still building 1-3 ed. 40k armies, have very little interest in the last 2-3 versions of 40k, so I don't waste time on painting models I'm not interested in nor waste money on rules for something I don't want to play.
Totally fair! We hope that if/when a new edition comes out, the ruleset won't go the way of the recent 40k editions, if it does, I think a lot of us would rather stick to the 2.0 rules.
@@hammersanddice - Indeed, of cause I never count out new editions, but found out preordering 40k like I used to isn't a wise thing to do anymore, way better to wait 6-12 months and then see what people on youtube/forums say. :)
@@fenris6051agreed!
Reactions are great, they're an awesome addition to the game overall. I think the easiest way to smooth the rough edges off them without adding bloat or too much bookkeeping would be to make all shooting reactions snap shots. Interceptor, return fire and overwatch. Might also have a side effect of making some of the lesser used multi shot heavy weapons, and flamers more attractive? People would likely start taking more augury scanners but I'm cool with that, you're paying points to snap shoot, if you get lucky great, but the game overall wouldn't feel so weighted towards shooting and it would give tanks a leg up as well
hey guys, enjoying the podcast! TBH I think it's very unlikely there'd be a major new edition of Heresy, invalidating all the books everyone just bought would push people away. Maybe like the shift from 3rd to 4th edition, or even less than that, more like a big FAQ and a new book with that incorporated, for people who don't wanna carry a big FAQ around with their old book. Points values and legion rules is where it gets tricky.. opens up a broader chat about how a living ruleset should be managed. I'd rather get a PDF with the new points and wait for Battlescribe to be updated than buy a new liber book and I reckon most people would feel the same.
We agree! We've heard some rumors, but yeah, we're hoping that it's a big FAQ with points adjustments rather than full new books. Either way, I think we'll have at least another year or so of the current edition.
@@hammersanddice for sure, I think some ppl commentating in the community probably overstate where Heresy is at for GW, I'm sure it's making a fat profit but that doesn't mean they've got the time or the budget to start cranking out new editions every 3 years!
The command squads can be easily converted. Im looking at one as an escort for Sevetar in my Night Lords. 3D Printers are a pretty common thing these days as well. Can also be used as a cheaper Dark Angels Companion squad, two shields and then everyone else with Calibanite warblades. In my area and other areas from what I have seen we have limited the shooting reactions to "One shooting type reaction per unit per turn." Includes free auspex intercepts. Allows for more varied armies and Rites of War and makes sense because a unit has to stop and reload at some point and shouldnt shoot more in their opponent's turn than your opponent can. I have noticed that many groups are banning or limiting lascannon heavy support squads or their legion specific equivalents. Everything from dont bring one, 0-1 max or no more than 5 guys. I know in casual games bringing a 10 man squad is looked down on as a dick move in the same manner as spamming dreadnoughts or more than one Scorpius.
That's a good house rule! We'd love to see GW do an FAQ to fix a few of the more crazy broken rules. We're planning on doing a discussion on how to self moderate lists for casual games and events for our next episode!
I had no idea you could models into a transport. That does have interesting implications.
I think the shield on little Horus was intended for pairing him with a chieftain squad.
That would be cool! Hopefully that means we'll get an update on the rules for the cheiftian squad, right now they have normal boarding shields, so they're heavy, but Little Horus isn't.
Hibou's death is not in any books. It's actually stated in Little Horus that he fought his way through the Sons and was placed on a list of names to be hunted down.
Good catch!
Reed! How’s the Salamanders army? I’m the Alpha Legion guy who used to do the monthly HH game days at Giga-bites.
Hey Michael! Thanks for watching our video, I remember our games fondly back in the day! I still follow you on IG and your Alphas look awesome and still growing.
@@sonoftheforge Cheers. Never gonna stop growing that army 😬
A new HH podcast? Subscribed.
Thanks!!
Always wanted to get into the Horus Heresy (mostly for the painting cause never played before) but want to do proper grim dark style 🤔 For Mortarion DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR !
For sure! Grim dark is one of the best parts of the heresy! Gotta get in that grime for good ole Morty

The Algorithm protects!
The battle for Beta Garmon event was a ton of fun. 10/10 will run Night Lords tanks again.
Looking forward to seeing your Night Lords again at the next one!
Booooo Beto Boooo! Boo this man!
😂 The rest of us wholeheartedly agree!
