    Hello guys. Correct me if I'm wrong but combi-melta armourbane range is 6 inches. And there were couple of those shooting in 1st game round into land raiders which were outside this range and were rolled 2d6 for pens. Also same case with destroing rhino.

    • @nukedukem4260
      @nukedukem4260 7 місяців тому

    • @RalosBlitz
      @RalosBlitz 7 місяців тому +3

      Yeah, the combi meltas shouldnt have got those pens turn 1.
      There were other mistakes such as Reaping doesnt allow you to move react other than the 7" move in the DG special reaction, the Precision shots on the Masster of Signals had another failure and the breaching that should've gone into the rest of the squad, unless they said off camera about the hills but they didnt take any cover saves for anyone, Mortarion is a primarch and Fearless so couldnt be pinned at all (and so auto passes the Brace reaction to disorder).
      Lots of things wrong that soured this for me, for such a beautiful looking game.

    • @jasonholland1892
      @jasonholland1892 7 місяців тому +1

      You are correct. I should have moved the HH up to 6 inches for the first Shooting. With Infiltrate, Scout and Relentless they can get to the 6" limit, but I did forget about the half range armor bane for the combi-melta on this one.

    I had a few battles both where I massacred my opponent in the first round (and where i was also massacred like with new demons). We always sat down together to talk after the game and we decided that this wasn't how it should be. It leaves a terrible feeling after such narrative game as Heresy.
    it's sad when most of the army (which isn't cheap and painting takes a lot of time) doesn't even have the opportunity to do anything.
