I'm in love with the combat patrol format. I'm extremely new to this hobby (just painted my third astra militarum infantry!) and the flow of these smaller games is far easier to follow and well-edited. I don't feel like watching 2 (very nice, friendly people) talk for 2hrs in a 3000pt game that I just can't relate to. But I bought the astra's combat patrol box, so I can see myself playing a game like this - one day, once i have them all painted!
Great battle report. Proved that the Death Guard in 10th, while durable, are far from Unkillable. I definitely miss being able to run 500 pt games natively in 40K. The Combat Patrol game mode, while a valiant effort, just isn't the same. You don't have the freedom to choose your units, which is a big problem for folks who started their army piecemeal. And the Combat Patrol boxes themselves are wildly inconsistent in quality. Plus, the absence of the Leman Russ for Guard is simply inexcusable.
Awesome batrep guys!! I could feel the tension by the end of the game! Really hoping that the guard would save the day! Keep on with such a great work!!
Каждый раз смотрю ваши отчёты о битве с удовольствием. На ютубе сложно найти контент по Вархаммеру на малый формат игры, будь то 500pts или combat patrol, так что вы определённо заняли свою нишу, при том с отличным качеством съёмки. Привет из России)
to be honest I really don't think the astra was too underpowered in this game, the death guard just rolled high a lot on their saves and ignored a huge amount of wounds. Given the 5 up save of the pox walkers that means that on average 1/3 of the wounds should be ignored, but I feel like they ignored half the wounds if not more. They weren't unkillable but were unusually resilient this game.
10:39 no kill like overkill for the unkillable 17:47 I'm not quite familiar with the rules but I'm sure you can't reduce damage to 0 (minimal 1) 18:52 careful when you tempting fate, it might tip the balance to laugh at you 23:13 I believe this is already errata-ed for insane brave should be use before battleshock instead of after failed battleshock 27:50 Deathguard counterattack 30:58 defeat after defeat the seasonal jobber finally rise for victory
also, there is a small mistake, disgustingly resilient can only go to a minimum of one. I don't blame you for it, you can find it in the designer commentary, so it's hard to find it.
those poxwalkers were really unkillable with all those 5+ fnp's xD thnx for the amazing batrep ^^ and yeah the guard combat patrol looks a bit boring without a tank🥲
I don't see any reason to pick Methodical Destruction for guard's secondary objectives. Hold the line gives you easy 10 points for early games (This secondary can achieve even at 1st battle round.) and it is even more effective for such slow army like Death Guard. At 2nd battle round, it is the prime time to pop up Artillery Strike to slow down DG's movement and they cannot declare charges too. It is a bit too late to use it at round 3. Typhus has OC1 but Sentinel has OC 2. So, the commander should have moved back from the objective. A previous comment has said the Disgustingly Resilient cannot reduce damage from 1 to 0. On the other hand, you can split fire the rockets to other targets. @8:51, it is better to start shooting with rockets rather than infantries, because you can add 2 more attacks.
@@TabletopWarbands there is a Rules Commentary in the downloads section of the Warhammer Community which has loads of advanced rules and clarifications, its a lot to take in but definitely worth going through it slowly. The rule about modifying characteristics below 1 is on page 17.
Well, this battle was certainly lore-accurate.
Another normal day for the Astra :V

Welcome to the hobby! I'm glad you enjoy our format, we chose it exactly for this reason!
Ps. Nice choice on the army 😏💪🏻
I feel this to i also just painted 10 Models of Krieg for my new Astra Militarum Army. These Games are so amazing
always fun seeing a new battle report from you guys!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Plague marines are so cool. I enjoyed your battle and I'll have to check out more of your videos.
I'm glad to hear that! Enjoy the other battle reports! ☺️
Just an FYI, they errata'd the stratagems that reduce damage by 1 to say they can't reduce it to 0! Other than that, great game!
Oh good! We didn't see it but we discussed it a lot because bot of us were pretty confused about it. Thanks!
@@TabletopWarbands of course! Always love helping people out.

Yes I agree with every single word, we are trying the combat patrols to see how they are but 500 points free is so much better.
Thank you 💚

Yes totally, I expected them to explode fast but they were more resilient than Typhus, it's crazy!
Thank you 💚
You guys are really entertaining. Good job!
Thank you! ^^
Always good to see the battle reports, asking from kill team, when the kaskrin ir the Phobos? Hugs from Colombia
We have phobos but not yet the Kasrkin, soon I hope! ^^
The best battle reports :3
Thank you, so kind!
My fav low point games with my fav Imperial guard.
Nice to have a fan of my main army 😍

Thank you! Yeah we didn't read it, we searched in the errata and the dataslate but there was nothing, nice to know now
those poxwalkers were really unkillable with all those 5+ fnp's xD
thnx for the amazing batrep ^^ and yeah the guard combat patrol looks a bit boring without a tank🥲
I feel so weird not playing a tank wkth the guard. It misses something for sure. And Andrea's rolls were... disgusting :V
Thank you! 💚
@@TabletopWarbands disgusting rolls for disgusting resilience ^^

I agree, there were many tactical mistakes there and your tips are interesting indeed! Very appreciated, thank you!
@@TabletopWarbands Really like your batreps, please bring us more.
@@yongzhewen7657 sure!
I dont think you can reduce damage to zero?
It seems GW did an errata to correct that, because before the errata there was no indication about it, so we weren't sure :V
