I’m going to be assembling some Crimson Paladins with power axes, that AP2 is a must if they want to tangle with other terminators…

22:22 “to protect us from the Alpha Legion” love it! They could be anywhere! Maybe the BA are Alpha Legion?

We've found 7 Reinforcement Points to be a happy medium, at least at 1.5k where we usually play ZM I wonder if you might try tweaking this mission to say that units carrying a Servitor can't react? It does seem like a problem trying to shoot them and having them just displace away. Displace is already so powerful a reaction it skews ZM games around it, having it also carry the objective further away from you is a bit harsh.

Beautiful NL army

Always nice to see a battle report from you! Question: In the presentation of the NL force at the beginning the Contemptor is looking to the left. At 8:07 min. he is looking straight ahead. Haven´t you glued his head on? It´s very odd. Suggestions for future battle reports: You have said it yourself: Everybody and his dog are playing "Pride of the Legion". So why not think outside the box and do something completely different? Lets see an ocean of grunts milling across the battlefield like it is shown on the cover of the HH book Horus Rising. This means both players take 60-100 Tacticals. You might say now: Well, each of our particular Legions don´t have access to that many grunts. However this is not a problem. Both players will play with "Shattered Legions" so each force can be composed of Tacticals from three different Legions. With that thought in mind it will be very easy to fill up large amounts of Tacticals. When playing with that many models you might want to use a little bit less terrain to have an open field battle like it is done in WHFB. Another thought: Leave the Praetors at home and let junior officers lead the grunts into battle. The Praetors in particular are burdened with important paperwork and as a result can´t leave their battle barge to lead the troops into battle. In the grim darkness of the far future bureaucracy is still a thing.

Stunning Armies

That ForgeWorld ZM table is BEAUTIFULLY painted! I want it so bad lol. Just gorgeous…

Kept waiting for that Wrath of Angels from the Praetor and the last Crimson Paladin.

Listen, you don't need to preach the tactical benefit of squishing people in doors. The act inspires itself

Ave Dominus Nox!!! 🦇 🦇 🦇

Really enjoyed watching your review . Cause we are debating this at our local gaming club can you tell me if the asphyx bolter benefits from the fury of the legion rule? Thank you

I converted the axe Praetor from the AoD boxed set into Tsolmon Khan. Love me some White Scars!

Sonic Lance I like on Phoenix terminators, use if you have a spare overwatch or if you fail the charge off in the legion special reaction…

Thanks team, while I have Liber Hereticus I’ve never read the Thousand Sons rules, so great to get the insight while I’m painting…

Great review! I agree about Ahriman and the Numurologist. Imo they are two of the strongest picks for Thousand Sons. I haven't used Amon yet, but this has got me excited to try! One note, the Ammitara Intercessors got a silent update in the latest version of the Legacies of Darkness pdf (its not even in magenta), so the rend now properly works with their sniper rifles. Even with that update, they still seem expensive to me, but very cool!

A very solid legion, properly played. Court of the Crimson King is one of the best legion Rites. Not S tier, but A tier for sure.

Thank you for the feedback on my comments, I really wasn't expecting that! Perhaps I have been too biased with my interpretation of the psychic chrck modifier rules, its really not the clearest! It's certainly good to hear your take on it 🙂

Great report thanks team! Was this mission from one of the books or a home-brewed one?

Instant death doesn’t allow Feel no Pain rolls at all, not matter the STR of the attack… Turn 2 would’ve taken out the Sargent of the attack squad…. Please Re read the Feel no Pain special rule in the core rulebook.

Unique match up, enjoyed the replay. I did like the format of not showing to much dice rolling but replaced with a great narrative.

Those Alpha Legion Contemptors are gorgeous.

Javelins, raven guard? x

Liked this. Like the new without rolls. Perhaps you could do primary vs primarch just or perhaps match some special chars like Sigismund vs Abbadon sv Lucius vs Sevatar just som show som abilities off? I know there are several different leagues of primarchs and that Dorn vs Larger probably is quite one-sided but still, could be fun to see.

Good report. Thanks guys. Yep, I had a bad rolling day myself yesterday. Sometimes it do be that way.

Wow, that was great. Not just because I'm an AL fanboy. Yeah. Alpharius is someone you bring for the force multipliers, he's not a "death star" unlike some Primarchs. Loved the battle report ❤ My first thought when the video started and a unit was missing from the presentation... that is just such an Alpha Legion thing, unit whereabouts unknown 😅 If you can get your hands on him, it could be interesting to see a rematch between Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus some day!

Deamons painted so well.

This was great to see though stacking Pavoni is a sick move. Magister of Prospero in a unit of 10 claw terminators, a consul of your choosing, now you're +9mv. Telepathy on one character to shut down the charge reaction and boom you have mv16 terminators going where they want. The combos are very engaging for this legion.

Great review! I totally agree that Thousand Sons are strong in ZM. Pavoni goes a long way to speed up terminators, and you can't go wrong with Biomancy to help with combats or Pyromancy for board control. ZM is the only time I'd consider Evoker of pain, but I agree there are better options. Just to note, I think the Osiron sadly can not make use of Fortress of the Mind as they are Fearless and so can't make a reaction that would grant an invulnerable save. Which is a real shame, as it would be so useful. Also, I belive night fight and fear would not reduce a models leadership value for a psychic test. Which is a nice bonus! As for Æther weapons, I have had some success with the Æther-Fire Magna-Cannon. It can be good on an Osiron (for the good leadership) against tactical marines on an objective (to remove the FnP) and (less commonly) veterans. The Æther-Blasters are surprisingly good at hunting down vehicles. The weapon is more like a short-range but mobile autocannon. It's just a shame you can do much to help the odds of getting the strength bonus!

Yes! I've been waiting for this one.

Magnus did nothing wro- Oh.. Oh lord.. Oh god. Magnus WHY!?

Hi I’m new. Does the flare shield not reduce the strength of the lascannons by 1 so that it’s glancing on 6s? Lascannons are st9 ap2 right?

Vulkan would be proud

Very good video! But, why was Turn 4 not the last one of the game? Had I missed something?

Never watched AI before, thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was a good palette cleanser. Good game fellas!

For my friend he likes running 8 man strong team of Red Butchers and they have always been his MVP of the army. 4 with Power axes 26 attacks on charge and 4 Lighting Claw 18 attacks. That's like 44 attacks on the charge and not counting in bonus from RoW or anything.

This was a fun game to watch. Thanks!

That was great seeing something less common on the internet! Thanks for adding some variety guys ☺ Last time I had fun playing a fighter combat simulator would be the old FASA Interceptor (and that was many decades ago). Never tried the Aeronautica, sadly. Always a bit apprehensive about GW pulling the plug whenever I start playing their niche games (looking at you, original Epic, Necromunda and Gorka Morka)

Great game. I don't think Legions Imperialis handles aircraft well, so I'd love to see more Aeronautica. I do think the game works better when there are ground targets, though.

I had a great time playing some AI with Richard. Getting to wear the Far East shirt again, I felt like a kid putting on the top of their favorite pro team!

Loved it. Has anyone seen Richard without a cap?

Iron within Iron without

Thanks for the review guys. Covered just about everything I could have thought of asking :) A shame the old Forgeworld rampagers are a bit "off scale" now, even for the old MKIII and MKIV tactical marines (the old FW MKII marines were miniscule compared to what came after). But MKII was as far as I understand the armour of choice for the World Eaters. I'll probably get the Red Butchers, even if they don't see the light of day in this edition, simply because they are imposing looking models for the shelf. Who knows, HH 3.0 may offer some improvements over the current edition? Otherwise collecting the core of a World Eater army to keep my Alpha Legion company. Someone has to do the hands on work after all!

I chose world eaters when getting into 2.0 because their rules offended me the least. You can run some simple fun lists and do well with them. Also a good army to let someone who hasn't played before use. "Run as fast as you can and hit something" it's hard to mess that up.

My favorite part of the major god aligned legions is you can add other legions corrupted to it like iron warriors or space wolves (lore wise)

I am considering buying a couple more Tacticals for a Shattered Legions project. Added to my Iron Hands will then be Death Guard and World Eaters. Blood-spatters on white armour would just look nice. And now some critique to the general concept of the World Eaters. They should be soldiers first and close-combat monsters second. And yet GW decided to flanderize them throwing any other notion out of the window. Every special rule revolves around melee which makes it one-dimensional. Whenever I picture a World Eater then I think of the Doom Guy from the Doom video game. He is running around at breakneck speed shooting stuff and then ripping it apart. The World Eaters infantry on the other hand, with the exception of heavy/support squad, almost never fire their guns which is just sad for a science fiction game. So here is a house rule which would address this concept error: Murderous Surge (Special Rule): Any World Eaters infantry, bike and walker model benefits from the following rule: When units of the aforementioned type causes casualties in the shooting phase then DON´T remove those models but instead leave them on the table, if the shooting World Eaters units intend to assault them later in the close combat phase. Roll for charging the enemy as normal but a charge counts as successful, if the World Eater unit makes base contact with a downed casualty. Just move the World Eaters models in question into contact with the surviving models of the opposing unit. In addition Rapid-Fire weapons (e.g. Bolters) count as Assault weapons which will allow the World Eaters units in question to be able to announce a charge move after firing said guns. Designer Note: This represents the fact that the World Eaters are so hellbent to get into melee that they will put extra effort in to get to grasp with the enemy after shooting their guns. It also makes sure that opponents don´t remove casualties in a "gamey" fashion so that reaching the opponent via a charge becomes either difficult or even impossible. And finally comes a perk for a part of their vehicles because they have none: Fast Disembark: Whenever a World Eaters infantry unit leaves a World Eaters transport vehicle with the intention of charging an opposing unit in the same turn then add two inches to the rolled charge range. Designer Note: The World Eaters want so badly to cross distance towards the enemy that disembarkation maneuvers are drilled into them.

Love this style of content, keen for more reviews! Good work fellas

YES to those early heresy colored Alpha Bois! Fuck yeah

great guest! Very respectful pointing yourself out about the lascannon and master of signals combo, I love how a good narrative time is the focus of HH.

Thanks for the game!

beautiful armies. Thanks for making the bat reps guys
