Deadzone Battle Report: Matsudan vs GCPS
Great video. Just pondering whether to give Barons War a go. We play a fair bit of WOTR in 28mm using Hail Caesar (in the same way as 7th Son’s videos) but it leaves me a bit cold. Literally the only character in the game comes from how you paint the models and who they represent, otherwise it’s literally a dice rolling contest. Barons War appeals much more because of being a skirmish game, not rank and flank, and the amount of character you can get into it, not to mention the lower figure count. I’m on the fence about this book though. I’ll probably end up getting it (I’m waiting to see if any Black Friday deals will be announced) but I doubt I’ll use the Outlaws retinue at all, I’d rather have nobles or Crusades. The first campaign I doubt I’d use for the same reason, though I suppose you could easily just swap out the Outlaws for nobles or Muslim forces. The DIY campaign looks the most interesting but I’d rather there was an online version to plot hex moves etc so that you don’t have to effectively create your own quite large board game just to play it. I’m just concerned that it won’t justify the significant amount of effort and possibly expense that will be involved. If I do go for Barons War though I think I’ll definitely have to get a 3D printer for all the terrain needs. I’ve avoided it up until now but buying that much terrain will get costly!
@@Edward-Plantagenet i feel similar about hail Caesar tbh. You won’t regret the book I don’t think as some nice stuff in there even if you don’t play the game in the end
I know this is two months after the video was posted, but what a rock solid video of solo gameplay this was. I’m just discovering Rogue Warriors and started exploring solo videos for it. This video has sold me on it. What a great narrative this game had. Your game was transformed in my mind to a full on action movie. I haven’t yet looked, but I hope you have more Rogue Warrior videos this one. It is clearly the best I’ve seen for the game. Champion level stuff.
Thanks very much! I’ve had a bit of a summer hiatus as we’re moving house but will be back with more content soon :)
Good review. Any idea how well it'd work to kitbash them? Perry arms on WA bodies, or vice versa?
@@eddymercan7487 thanks. i think pretty well as the flowing robes are very easy to hide any issues with lines
Things were going great, until they weren't, lol. Fun game, I need to pick up a copy. And yeah, I agree, once you've played alternating activation YouGoIGo is no good!
Very good and helpful videos! It is a real shame that Vanguard isn't more popular, as I find it is a superior game to GW's Mordheim and Warcry, just more depth and tactically more interesting, plus cheaper too.
Those Mazon bases look great; as does the terrain. Very simple but effective.
Thanks matey 😊
great video, fantastic looking models!
Thanks 🙏
Great material! May I ask where are the toppers for HOT from?
Home-made, printed onto glossy photo paper and glued on :)
OMG! What has happened to this dice (ash!) tray?🙂
I designed it for WOFCON to make it look like it’s been through a battle with burns and blood splatter - Andy doesn’t reckon it translates on camera 😂😂😂 - Hal
Good jobb! More DZ please!🤙😎
GG!🤙
Enjoyable batrep. Beautiful board!
Thanks dude 🙏
that is an AMAZING board
I really like the nightstalkers, but the Matsudan are fantastic and I think I might grab some of these bad boys.
Why not both :)
And what do you want to become when you grow up?
Retired so I can play more games!
Amazing set up terrain and minis! Very enjoyable
Good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Just getting past the line up at about 3:37m and imho i find the allied miniatures poses a bit strange, a sniper with fixed bayonet, what is the Bren gunner doing holding his gun like that, the one holding the bayonet....its positioning is off. The sentries look ace, great poses and really look the part. Great video !
To be honest they are seconded from my SAS bolt action force, which in turn was made out of spare parts donated by a mate - hence some odd stuff. I went for whatever looked kinda ‘heroic’ okay 🙏
Careful! The sentries are sure to spot those footprints! "Sir, anyone been over here but us? I have 25mm base footprints here!"
Yeah I noticed that whilst editing 😂😂
This was awesome! The miniatures and battlefield were brilliant, and loved the graphics. I was a huge fan of Commandoes, too; that was the inspiration for the templates. Great job on the battle report, and we are so happy to hear you've been enjoying the ruleset. Thanks, Hal!
Thanks matey, can’t wait to try more of your systems 👍
Whoa, this ruleset is really starting to gain traction. Wasn't expecting to see a battle report for it here! Just started looking into it myself a couple weeks ago.
@@MidniteCathedral think it’s a really solid ruleset for quick narrative play 👍
Tried Brood Guard with combat blades but it turned out You can not use them with Halberds' smash.
@@michaciemniewski9791 that maybe true im a bit rusty. In this game the combat blades were never needed so didn’t make a difference
@@WeightofFire sadly combat blades replace a weapon for a turn. Great time to be back playing...
Very enjoyable battle report! Great Set up!
I love love love the energy. That weird rando playing with Hal talked a bit too much though :P (PS: I have to do it: extra dice are used before any dice are rolled, I have to be fair ^^)
LOVE THIS TABLE!!!!!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers matey the lava is mine and the buildings are another fabulous creation of Iain Ross 👌 - Hal
@@WeightofFire Beautiful work Buddy!!!!!!
Very jealous of your coloured command dice. Were these from 2nd ed? Its a shame we can't get different colours for our command dice.
I’ve picked them up from various tournaments and so on - the red ones were from WOfCON, the pink ones were from a charity event against cancer, etc, etc… - Hal
Get a blue crayon and color those white dice!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve melted them down in the microwave 😂 - Hal
Andy’s blue dice need to be banned
@@Xafilah33B never!!!!!
Really good report gents!
excellent looking game, quick query around the saving rolls for shooing (not watched all the way through yet), shouldn't it be at the same time as the to hit rolls rather than waiting to see the result and then deciding if you want to add extra dice in?
You’re right of course it should be simultaneous but we always fall into playing like this tbh - don’t think it massively affects the result in non-competitive games tbh 😊
@@ianc8325 yeah as hal says it’s practically easier for us when we play especially on camera. I think we sometimes add them before if we’re sure we’ll need them
Yes. The rules are very clear, rolls are done at the same time. Many video producers do it differently, I guess because that requires one less camera.
Amazing board! We rarely see vegetation on boards. The cream, green and orange looks good!
@@benoitdemers1900 thanks it’s another of Iain Ross’s amazing boards that he donated to WOF towers 🙌
Good to see you back. 🤘
@@petekerry382 feels good to be back!
Is that Andy? 🤯welcome back and happy birthday!!!
@@saml6798 yep that was him! Live Dr Deadzone in the wild 🙌
First
@@thetaleoftwoterrors5743 but never least 🙏
all rules should be ring bound
I love this insight from the RC! I can’t wait to get a Ronin on the table against some night stalkers!
Thanks! As you can maybe tell, I had so much more to talk about but we already did 30 minutes :D Staying true to the original Matsudan we know, then changing them as much as needed and adding new playstyles and tropes to the list was a challenge, but I'm really happy with how they feel. These aren't an Asterian knockoff, even if they have similarities (Toshi, Prime, Marionettes and Drones)
This is awesome. Will definitely get out all my Nightstalkers from the Vanguard Kickstarter. Very cool
'riding a horse doesn't fit', looks at giant monkey riding a bionic lion
Haha true. But that looks like it fits the species and universe. I think the Nightstalker Soulflayers just are too... fantasy human like I guess?
@@ClaudioMacShepherd certainly true, needs something like a Terry Pratchett's Death on a motorbike to fit more
Very cool addition 👏
@ClaudioMacShepherd Did you know that Howlett has a pistol?
He has a pistol? That is crazy good... :P
😂😂😂
Great video so good to see your back. 😊
Don't know who this Claudio guy is. Are you sure he's on the RC??
@@FranticGamer117 burn! 😂😂😂
How are you allowed on the Internet old man :P
@@ClaudioMacShepherd 😂
@@FranticGamer117 I hear he’s the driving force for change
Really enjoyed hearing Claudio's thoughts on designing the teams!
More from Claudio coming soon! :)
Really glad to hear that :)
great to see you back and I've been loving the new teams from Mantic and the RC.
Thanks mate - feels good to be back!
Have you stopped making videos ?
We've just returned from our break!
@@WeightofFire Great news :-) looking forward to your new videos
This game is graetplayed it with the guy who runs the miniature land scape hobbies channel at a games con in canada and it kicked ass
Great video helped a bunch making the tank
What scale models are you using?
28mm
I am guessing this was an earlier iteration of the rules that didn’t have regen or the limit on resilient, as I checked for “transfixed by fear” and that appears to be gone. 😢
Ap4 nullifies resilient, right?
