      Of course there are trade-offs and the weapons are used differently in each army, but the burna is mathematically the worst flamer.

    Love the fun lists and small game size! Keep up the battle reports!
    Rules notes:
    At 7:40 you can't deny attacks from the same unit for removing casualties. This is because at step 3 (before rolling any dice) you choose targets and once you've chosen targets you get to make those attacks regardless of casualties that may be taken away. (NOTE: you can deny attacks from a different unit this way. just not from the same unit)
    At 9:40 the wierdboy smites. Smite Always targets the closest target so it would have hit either the genestealers or termigaunts not the broodlord. (there are other powers which can target specific units)

      As far as my knowledge goes for 40k games, if you're meaning the removals at around 7:50, the squad attacks at the same time (as initiative is a thing of the past); so there shouldn't have been a chance to remove models to prevent the Ork models from being part of the fight.

      @@frostmagemarii I think someone else mentioned something similar. I'm also not fluent in 8E rules, but just the thought that someone might think that's kosher guarantees they're not the sort of opponent I'd like to (or willingly) play against, especially if the rules don't allow for those sorts of shenanigans; it's just baseline unsporting.

      @@Kingboy Against the Genestealers it wouldn't have worked, because the Boss Knob was in the same unit as the Boyz, so they'd all attack at the same time.
      Against the Termagants it would have worked, because the Burner Boy wasn't in the same unit as the Boyz.
      Also note that after you choose what to attack with, you pile in, then you choose targets.
      So if even one the the Boyz was within an inch of a Termagant, they'd be able to be chosen as a unit to fight and they'd have 3 inches to work with to get some Boyz in range.
      AND if another unit was closer to some of those Boyz you could actually pile in some models toward that other unit. You just have to move each model closer to the closest model when piling in, it doesn't have to be toward the unit the attacking unit is already within an inch of because you choose targets after piling in.
      However, units that charged in the turn cannot target a unit they didn't charge in that turn.
      After the attack you can consolidate up to 3 inches which again has to be closer to the nearest enemy model.
      This can put you into melee range of a unit that wasn't in range before, which can have the downside of opening combat with a unit that wasn't in combat previously, but has the upside of being capable of locking them out of shooting if they can't kill enough enemies to disengage from combat.
      It's all quite nice to know if you're using Hormagants rather than Genestealers.
      While Genestealers are generally more deadly, Hormagants can slip through defenses to tie up shooters and sometimes dodge some overwatch fire that Genestealers would have to worry about, due to having 6 inches for piling in and consolidating.
      Again, you can pile in on a unit you didn't charge, if it's closer to your models, you just can't declare an attack on it.
      Or I guess now you can give your Genestealer's Adrenal Webs instead of taking a Warlord trait and let them consolidate 2D6 instead of 3. Holy hell.

    @kb8600 4 роки тому +69

    Love these little batreps. Here’s some clarifications that may make your games more enjoyable: if a unit charges, it can still pile in and attack and consolidate. So you can’t actually pull termagants out to keep your orks out of combat unless it leaves them over 4” away and they cant reach with a pile in (you can still pile in 3”). Then Consolidate another 3” (you get both of these movements even if you kill a unit and other chargers didnt get to activate against that unit yet). You still get all of your attacks for your squad after the Nob killed the termies too because they are part of the same squad. Super smite is 11+ and all Smites go against the closest enemy unit. You can only choose a Smite target if two potential targets are equidistant from your psyker. And don’t forget, your psyker gets pluses for being next to boys, I think. Hope this helps.
    Keep em coming! (Great paint jobs as usual!) You both had fun and it made the video fun to watch.

    Love the way the the Battle Report is made, everything is well described and detailed, but I'd like to go over some parts of this match that would be considered mistakes by the book, for anyone who would be interested and maybe for the players themselves.
    Bear in mind that this match could have some "homebrewed" ruling that wasn't explained or other rules agreements between the players, and that I am also aware of this.
    - 7:40 The ork "out of range" after the Power Klaw attacks could still fight in the Genestealers because the attacks are declared and counted for the whole unit at the same time, not a model at a time.
    - 9:42 Smite targets the closest visible unit, so it couldn't target the Broodlord.
    - 10:05 The smite was -1 to cast so the roll was an 8, the Broodlord got a 9 on deny, which is over the 8 and should've denied.
    - 15:36 Smite deals D6 mortal wounds on a charge of more than 10, not 10+
    - 18:10 The orks coming out of the destroyed Trukk should've taken a casualties on 1s, rolling a d6 per model that survived the disembark.
    - 18:24 The Termagants could've been selected to attack because they charged. That would've let them pile in and consolidate towards the surviving orks, but not attack them as the Burna Boys could not have been declared as a charge target.
    - 23:10 Again, the Burna Boy and Weird Boy would've been able to be selected to fight because they charged; And for the same reason the Boys woud've been able to fight even when out of 1"
