As a White Scars player, this battle report really illustrates how much better Golden Keshig are if you run a chaplain with them! And Rob was a real class-act - a great guest, a beautiful army, and a great report!
Beautiful armies. Love those White Scar Keshig with the hydras. Thanks for the report! That AL list was brutal and look frustrating to play against. Right from the start it was clear the IF list was not as strong
Awsome battle report, i think the leviathan could reroll those invul saves in the first shooting fase because the grav gun is a template en de levi is heavy
This is a classic match up for me, Alpha Legion v Imperial Fists was always the case for me and my best friend all the way back since first edition of HH. Great video, great batrep, great armies.
I usually don't enjoy one sided games but this one is an exception. The reasons are, we saw some rare units, I don't think the list was OP, just really good against tanks and Dreadnaughts and the Imperial Fists lost (don't get me wrong, I myself have 6k+ points of yellow marines, but I do feel their rules are too powerful, therefore I don't mind them losing). I also think that if Black Templar would get into combat this would be a different story, also the dice did help with those haywire templates a lot..., and I find Sigismund utterly disgusting (rules wise). Very enjoyable battle report, thanks a lot!
@medheadful excellent! I will say combi grenade launchers are the way to go. As much as I want to like their basic guns they just aren't great esp with their short range.
@@newtpondskipper Nah lol, combimelta to infiltrate and destroy vehicles, or combi-volkite for regular infantry targeting. Base banestrike if you're playing Effrits.
Just amazing videos gents. Finally getting my Age of Darkness box and starting this journey. Just curious, I was interested in Raven Guard but couldn’t see any battle reports on your members and non-member playlists. Am I blind? Love you guys!
Great report, and fun to watch, I'll be viewing more! Few rules wrong, unless they were house rules, but a lot more right than some other reports! Technically you should roll attacks one at a time, so shooting at a unit and taking the wound on the sergeant goes: bolter hits, bolter wounds, arty armour save on serge, failed save is a fnp roll, fnp passes, model lives Next bolter hits, wounds, you can save on teh serge again. You were weakening yourself a bit as the serge could have lived to tank more.
We all know that if Pardo wanted to cheese up the IF he could easily have done so. I appreciate him bringing a more reasonable list! Great game report guys.
Tbh no one has brought it up as you're rolling to wound a dread in most examples in this bat rep. Where I did make a mistake was resolving on the armour pen on the tank. In all honesty I don't think it made a huge difference to the game though. I just got trigger happy with it. I think it's just agreeing it before you play your opponent. I don't mind though as grav is strong as is.
@chrisgent1979 thanks for the clarification. Your right it says quite clearly its instead of rolling to wound. So I apologise. Perhaps I misunstood because the table the refers to 'wounds'.
Wouldnt first volkite HSS shooting couse deflagerate on those tacticals, potencially wounding more then they see? (Since its bits of visible ones exploding wounding their friends...)
I don’t usual want the imperial fists to win but I feel like you bought a fluffy list against a super sweaty alpha legion list. This was really difficult to watch and not really fun. But always good to watch heresy content and learn some more rules.
The lists were unbalanced. I think this is in part to the fact me and pardo play very different metas. 'Fluffy' is a clumsy term when list building imho but there are a range of lists I've gone against that could dismantle my list. Night Lords and Raven Guard are two lists that I really struggle with in my local meta as they play mostly infantry. This list also crumbles in CC. Thabks for watching. You should check out Heresy Hammer at some point and then you can see what type of ethos we have when gaming.
Hello from Poland Great report however I have noticed that speeders have Melta but not fired at all why? Keep up the great game, I have made a UA-cam account for subscribing just for this!
Yeah i think they had meltas on them instead of grav but used as grav instead this is why you didn’t see the meltas being shot. I forgot to tell Rob we always play strict WYSIWIG so my fault and didn’t notice until after the game sorry . Glad you have subbed we have some good friends from Poland.
I love my 6 Golden Keshigs. They are amazing for shrecking dreadnoughts, low unit count elites, and tanks. Would love them to be 10 more pts per unit and get Refractor Fields though.
I think there are hard counters to my list but I think it's can take apart conventional heresy meta lists quite easily (i.e.dreads, tanks a few infantry units). I've struggled against night lords and Raven Guard lists that are infantry heavy.

Glad you enjoyed it buddy. Yes Rob was great on and off the battlefield so I second that. Make sure you go check out his stuff
Thanks dude! Man alive totally agree about the chaplain!! They CAN be amazing. They can be so terrible too!
that ancient banner is absolutely beautiful.@@medheadful
Super rad paint jobs on both these armies! That Alpha legion list hits hard.
Most definitely! 🔥

Agreed buddy thanks for watching
Great to see Rob on SN! Very thematic battle :D
Thanks Victor
Love your Batreps, can't get enough of Horus Heresy, keep it up.
Glad you like them!
For the haywire effect it’s not a hit or wound roll so it shouldn’t be allowed to be rolled with PE
Agreed. Made a mistake here.
Yep someone else spotted that already thanks 🙏🏽
merry christmas to you SN, and all watchers!
Thanks Boss merry Christmas 🎁
Awesome battle report! That AL list was brutal.
Thanks Boss
Brilliant as always brothers, really enjoyed it. ❤
❤️ Glad to hear
I’ve never seen Golden Keshig take up the mantle of Alpharius before, this’ll be interesting! Hydra Dominatus!
🐍
Really cool battle, especially if you like Alpha Legion!
Thanks Darren
That first phase of shooting really did some damage to Pardo's ability to control the direction of the game
Yeah was a hard turn 1
Yea, dreads are such a huge influence on gams, anything that can neuter them like those speeders will be a game winner.
Man. This is a beautiful board with two very beautiful armies.
Well done!
Thanks very much champ
I came here to watch the AL crush some IF, I hope I'm not disappointed :D
Enjoy 😉
Bliss - my two favourite 30k channels coming together. Beautiful armies, great board, tough but gentlemanly gameplay 👍
Much appreciated!
While I love your list Alpharius, not having Headhunters was disappointing as I like seeing them on the field. Hydra Dominatus!
They're on the list of things to build! I'll be on again if Steve let's me so watch this space!!!
Maybe next time 😉

@@newtpondskipperI'll have a look into them!
I love your armies and your battle reports.
It was either an insanely good list or a really lucky list, but boy that was tough for the fists
Haha it’s a tough list
Just amazing videos gents. Finally getting my Age of Darkness box and starting this journey. Just curious, I was interested in Raven Guard but couldn’t see any battle reports on your members and non-member playlists. Am I blind?
Love you guys!
Sadly the studio doesn’t have one yet 😔
Great report, and fun to watch, I'll be viewing more!

43:30 why not shoot the Rapiers with the Contemptor? Artillery can't react.
Yeah could have
We all are Alpharius.
🙌🏽
Loved seeing a very version on alpha Legion.
Glad to hear
Isnt alpharius in every Alpha Legion List? 😂
Hahaha
It’s a secret 🤫
We all know that if Pardo wanted to cheese up the IF he could easily have done so. I appreciate him bringing a more reasonable list! Great game report guys.
Glad you enjoyed and thanks
With IF it is hard not to cheese, but he manages it very well. Good job Mr Pardo for keeping the cheese in check!
Your impmfist are painted so nice can you share how you painted them?
Check out Standfast Studios on Instagram buddy
merry xmas and happy new year lads! #muchlove
Happy holidays!
Are you sure Preferred Enemy works with Grav given it is not a roll to wound…

I don't mind though as grav is strong as is.
Point is you’re not rolling to wound, you’re rolling on a table.
@chrisgent1979 thanks for the clarification. Your right it says quite clearly its instead of rolling to wound. So I apologise. Perhaps I misunstood because the table the refers to 'wounds'.
Thanks for that spot Chris. Hope you enjoyed the game.
Thats probably the best painted AL in the world, how on earth do you travel with it down to Gilbraltar?
Travel Case
It wasn't easy. 2 travel cases and some intense scrutiny at security check.
@@medheadful haha I bet :)
@@medheadful honestly, a video sharing tips for how to travel via plane with armies might not be a waste of time😅
@erih2934 that's a great idea!
Wouldnt first volkite HSS shooting couse deflagerate on those tacticals, potencially wounding more then they see? (Since its bits of visible ones exploding wounding their friends...)
Sadly because of the normal rulebook rules this is the case. Still has to be something in line of sight.
Those Alpha Legion look mint
They certainly are
Id of elected to go for night fight if i were the fists!
Yeah but I sadly didn’t have strategic Advantage so couldn’t
Question (as you are one of the few who have them): when will the rainbow-dice be available in the store again?
Should have been back in stock in December but looking likely like it will be January now.
Cool! I shall try to remember to watch out for them then!
Confused that the Keshigs didn’t charge that Spartan. Lance treats all armor values on vehicles over 12 as 12. They shred all tanks.
Every commander has their own plan! 😏
@@SNBattleReports First White Scar unit on the channel killed 10% of its point value before dying! 😭😭😭 I’m just salty 🤭
I think they wiped a whole vet squad?? @@pascal9055

That mat is exactly the color I’m looking for! What company does it if you don’t mind me asking?
Im sure it’s Pworks
@@SNBattleReports perfect thank you!
That one was more brutal than usual!

Omg a White Scar Unit!!!
Yeah boi!
Haha yes

cool vid, but the motion blur is giving me a headache lol
Sorry what do you mean?

Ill trade you a kidney for your Fists army 👀
Deal
alphaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Enjoy
Love that Alpha Legion army 👌 Shame the game was done by turn one - some toolbox of tricks they have 😂😂
Hahah. They are so tricksy
Rumours are Pardo is still crying 😢
Really cool armies but legitimately that alpha legion list doesn't look fun to play against lol
I think there are hard counters to my list but I think it's can take apart conventional heresy meta lists quite easily (i.e.dreads, tanks a few infantry units). I've struggled against night lords and Raven Guard lists that are infantry heavy.
It’s was great to play against it. Very good vs my list.
Beautiful forces regardless and very effective use of the Alpha legion traits, well played
@Bigjonmetal thanks my dude
cracking game
Thanks 😊
