    34:11 Mortarion can not pile in here if he is in base contact with any of those space wolves models. Pile in needs to get "closer to the closest", as as he is in base contact, he cant get closer. If he wasnt in base contact, the rune priest could stop him piling in by ending his heroic intervention in base contact with Mortarion.

    44:33 Normal saves of what and how now? Mortarion has 3+ Saveand I don't recall anyone in DG having +1 Armour Save buffs...

  • @mrphlark

    Mortarion could not pile in Death Guard T1, he was already in basecontact. Pile ins are towards the nearest enemy model, when you are in base contact you cannot get any closer.

    • @Artshmael
      @Artshmael 5 років тому +3

      Incorrect... The rule states that "a model may use a pile in to move up to 3" but must end it's move closer to the closest enemy model." if you are already base to base, then you can move up to 3 inches but must remain touching the base. As he states in the video he uses this to "wrap around" a model to get to touch another unit. ua-cam.com/video/wNjTuFW5mIw/v-deo.html It's commonly explained in advanced melee tutorial videos. ua-cam.com/video/_TM6BlHN_cc/v-deo.html

    Gorgeous armies and great personality, though this game just had me yelling at the screen me as a Space Wolves player. 😂
    First off, please don't just let Wulfen die! It's awesome to remember Death Frenzy, but Wulfen also have a 5+ FNP. Please remember this in the future. The combination of 3++ Invulnerable save and 5+ FNP make them extremely durable. It really helps to maximize this with more of your Wulfen having the Storm Shield options.
    Second off, they move nearly as fast as cavalry, and imo, putting your BEST melee unit as a backline objective holder is a mistake. This is especially true since you like to bring a million regular power armor guys that die by the dozens. Easily, one of those units could have held the objective.
    Finally, Mortarion couldn't have piled in that first turn, as he was already in base to base contact.
    I love this channel. Please don't take my criticism too harshly. The Wolves are just my favorite army. Take care, my man!

I get he's playing a LOT of armies, many of which have very different playing strategies, but it's still painful... Further in his defense, he hasn't really played that many games with them, so here's hoping he catches on soon.

    Love to see Space Wolves on the channel. They should of won that game if it weren't for some rules mixups and back-lining an expensive unit of Wulfen. Not too sure if you added first strike for the SW to the total points score at the end but it can be secured in your opponents turn 1 which was the case here. At the very least it was a draw in my mind.

    For the rune priest question: it depends. If he was the closest model (which he should have been if possible to prevent morty from moving away in the first place) then no, morty could not move away and priest could swing. If the other model was closer, then you are allowed to move away from priest.
    For the pox walker question: no. It procs on infantry only.

    Well played!
    The fenrisian wolves did what they needed to do and took the initial smite instead of the thunderwolves. And the thunderwolves are resilient and did super good job on holding the flank. The wulfen are perfect for charging into Mortarion. First they have a long threat range, then they hit hard, you forgot feel no pain, but then the deathfrenzy is so damn good. They did what they had to do.
    You should name the Lonewolf :) . Just survivng after the mele with Mortarion is worth a name and a saga.
    Bjorn with twin Las is a great choice. I hoped he would come out victorious from the epic fight ;(

    A fun game to watch for sure. Man those early Invuln saves by Typhus and Mortarion were heart breakers for the Space Wolves! That could've been the game right there. I felt like we saw encouraging strides forward for the Thunderwolf Cavalry and the Dreadnoughts. I think the one thing this army is lacking is long range fire support. Perhaps some Long Fangs with missiles with the mortal wound strat? Or even Aggressors would fit naturally in. I know its a departure from sticking to only unique Space Wolf options but if some long range shooting could somehow sneak into the list I feel liike the Wolves could sink their teeth into victory! Anyway great game. Phenomenal scenery and great looking armies. Thanks guys!

    Good battle report with some insane dice rolls from the Death Guard. It was an epic fight from the wolves, and for them it was grim and dark. It fits perfectly in the 40k narrative.
    From tactical and game perspective I still think your wolf army is weak. In this game the death guard rolled very well I admit it, but as far as I rememebr the plageburst crawlers rolled below avarage. What I'm getting at, your army could put up a good fight against this enemy, who has a good deal of close combat units. However what would you do against Tau or the guard, who would be happy to sit back and shoot the Space Wolves down. I still think you need transports, or a unit of long fangs with missle launchers. You can even put a wolf guard terminator with cyclon missle launcher in the unit.

    I love watching your battle reports but being a wolves player it breaks my heart when some important rules were missed. Several point would have made morty less potent this game. 1. mortarion has a 3+ save not a 2+. 2. Morty was in base contact with blood claws already and could not pile in away as he was touching closest keeping the wolves warlord in combat. 3. morty flew over terrain in charge phase when this is not allowed, only over models. 4. and most importantly. Wulfen have 5+ FNP!!!! they may have lived. Bonus: Luke you need Long fangs in your life. They are excellent fire support which you needed this game. Also for 3cp if a rune priest successfully casts a power he can protect units of his within 6" with -1 to hit! Keep the Space wolves reports coming with the beautiful terrain and models.

    Great armies and terrain. For a while I thought Bjorn might take Morty out but Morty said no.lol think the wolf list needs some further tweaking as it didn't have nearly enough gun when I saw the army intro's(Seriously fenrisian wolves? The points could've been better spent on anything else.lol) Nothing deep striking to take out one of the mortars was also a bit of a mistake as they just keep pumping out shots without taking any return fire. Still the wolves do have some great units, just need to jigger the points about a bit for more gun/speed/deep strike.

    I love your videos but you need to go back and read the FAQ rules for flying models charging. They can only ignore models not terrain or anything with the building keyword. If they could then we would be back to 0" charges. " These still prevent
    units from ignoring intervening terrain features such as ruins, sector mechanicus, woods, etc. when charging (thereby
    clearing up the original ambiguities) but, with the exception of Buildings, allows them to once again fly over intervening
    models.

    Wulfen ignore damage on a 5+ plus twc can’t have pistols if they use a shield n melee weapon.
    Your assault was blunted by not having the wulfen n twc close together (reroll charges) and missing a wolf priest (reroll hits in combat plus restoring wounds).
    If bjorn and the venerable were closer together morty wouldn’t of lived as long as he did.
