    Nice to see the Heesy content. We do find that we have better games when you place some line-of-sight blocking terrain in the middle of the board, when the whole center of the table is visible and the deployment zones are heavily populated with terrain it vastly favors shooting armies, but that's just what we do.
    Glad to hear your event went well!

  • @filipmanicmushroomsandrzej4073

    Like few others I would prefer Custodes having default inv 5+ save (4+ with the shield) and maybe one tiny bit less attacks. Apart from that I would much rather if they used less special rules. I do like the exotic weapons they bring to the table so but with all the Nemesis units it gets a bit much for me.
    Apart from that I really liked this report, as always high quality content!

  • @РенатТкаченко-ф8п

    I really don't like the idea of letting damage spill over from the challenge, challenges are already an obnoxious mechanic that punishes people who don't kit out for them, who don't have legion specific weapon upgrades that make it easier to fight a challenge (example: Falax Blades vs any normal power weapon, for a tiny difference of 5 points you will always kill an equivalent enemy sarge). Since a better fighter can always force the challenge you get a win-win situation, you either stop any enemy model from attacking, or you kill the highest Ld model, with overkill going into morale check. I see why you would think allowing damage overspill is good, but that just punishes another player where they should have been rewarded for outplaying their opponent. If you pin a lone smash character and beat him up in an "unfair" challenge, you did something right, and your opponent made mistakes and should not be given an advantage for it.

    • @SNBattleReports
      @SNBattleReports  Рік тому

      See I think the complete opposite I think challengers are far to easy to stop good fighters and characters. There is also so much stubborn, inexorable and fearless now that is just doesn’t do anything to get the wounds that would have spilled over that one wound model into combat resolution. Same in ZM with the reaction

    • @Cabooseforprez2012
      @Cabooseforprez2012 Рік тому

      It might be the Stockholm syndrome talking but I'll always have a soft spot for challenges from the 6E CSM codex. Everyone had to challenge which made it really funny when the cultist leader boldly challenged characters he had no chance against. Granted one time he became a demon prince from a crazy stretch of luck that let him kill a space marine sergeant

    • @sturm9087
      @sturm9087 3 місяці тому

      I dont like that it really hurts big characters and punishes some armies way worse than others. The demons have a big monster that is a character so it can get challenge locked and is basically unplayable because of it. Or making a praetor kill one imperialis militia sergeant while the discipline master keeps the squads morale up.

    I might have misunderstood but it sounded like at around 1:05:30 or so when he charged your tacs, you overwatched and he failed the pinning test but you said his guys would make it in? For future reference, if I am correct in that interpretation, pinning a charging unit during overwatch causes the charge to fail.
