In the grim darkness of the far future there are only hedgerows and gabled windows...

@@tacticaeimperialis-j8r for the Commonwealth!

Thanks for watching! Really glad to hear you are enjoying the battle reports. I feel like having multiple smaller detachments gave me an advantage in the armor fight. Jeff had a strong detachment of eight, but it was stuck in the village most of the game.

Thank you! It was a fair bit of work, but I think it was worth it

Thanks very much! Great to hear that you are enjoying the channel. We didn't record a movement turn three because we were a bit rushed and ended up skipping right to combat -- is that what you mean about the editing? Either way we'll try to tighten it up for the next video 💪 Glad you were still able to enjoy it despite the issue

@ certainly not a complaint as I appreciate how much time goes into editing 🙂. I thought it went turn 1, turn2, turn 3, turn 2, turn 3 end, that’s all

@@crainialpressure I'll take a look! Thanks for letting me know 😅

Thanks for watching! I worked hard on the White Scars, so I'm glad to hear they came out well. It's definitely good to get some variety in games, and with the Mechanicum coming out I hope we'll see even more of it.

Thanks, man. I hope it helps! 💪

They are, unfortunately. But the detail at the end seems worth the extra effort.

Very nice video, thanks for the review, one of the better mechanicum battlebox reviews. It was great to hear you thoughts on the units as well as seeing the sprues.

@@kalisthenes6650 Thank you for the feedback! I'll try to include a more deliberate unit discussion next time I do a review 👍

@@scott8278 Thank you! Really glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. I'll definitely try to include more hobby stuff in the video rotation. And of course I hope your Solar Auxilia serve you well in your upcoming games 💪

Thank you -- really glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. If I ever do a full Astartes army I may flesh this out with some sabers. But at the moment the main purpose of this formation is to outflank -- which the sabers would not be able to do.

I'm not suggesting you match the scale of the terrain to its physical height (even GW doesn't do that: a Warhound and a Warmaster are the same scale, after all) -- but instead I'm suggesting that you assign reasonable scales to certain types of Obstructing terrain based on how you think they would block LOS. A parking lot full of vehicles might be scale 2, forests scale 3, craters scale 1, etc. As for the buildings, I think it only makes sense that a larger building would be more difficult to destroy. You probably won't have more than one 6"x6" building on the table anyway; the rest should probably be small or medium size. Also, the durability of the building doesn't help against Ignores Cover, and at the end of the day, most garrisoned infantry are helpless against some missile launcher marines.

@tacticaeimperialis-j8r thing is trees are tall. Average tree=warlord. Hence scale 3 for forest is NOT reasonble :!

I encourage you to use your best judgement, then. This is a suggestion for a possible house rule -- not a mandate. Using the rules as written is absolutely the easiest and simplest (and probably best) approach.

Thank you! I hope you can get some hobby time soon. I was also considering doing an Iron Warriors force for a time, but the scarcity of terminators made me reconsider.

Thank you!

Thank you! I try not to "game" the legions traits much, but it is difficult not to take these as White Scars -- World Eaters might be good, too.

​@@tacticaeimperialis-j8ri have had decent luck with ba as well chasing objective that's vulnerable. Kill target, consolidiate into objective. Prevents body blocking objectives

@@bakuchidancer Blood Angels seem like a great choice as well. I haven't seen many take them, but I can see how their legion ability would be especially beneficial to a high speed formation like this.

I haven't played against them yet, but based on my experience so far, knights and titans are underpowered for their points. Combine that with the fact that they are not going to be able to contest objectives, and I think they are going to struggle. At the end of the day, though, player skill does matter in Legions Imperialis, and an underpowered list played well is going to beat an overpowered list played poorly.

That's a good solution, too. I really think they could have stood to have both weapons available, and give you an option to shoot one or the other, but not both.

Ah, that's frustrating -- hopefully your stuff will arrive soon! If Ion Shields were improved, then I think knights would get a big and much needed boost.

@@ceridangitp They need something, for sure. I think the best solution would be to give them a 1+ save.

I agree, I think this was a way to get some of the AT players who've been on the fence due to the additional investment also playing LI with possibly no extra purchases or just an Infantry box. Personally I think it was a mistake not to put a Knight / Titan list into the starter box (even as a pamphlet) or as an addendum in The Great Slaughter, but I am glad that they're here now.

They absolutely will. I just hope that the people they draw in will not be put off by the performance of their lists.

@@DavidManser I'm wondering if the titans need a bit of a boost -- the 5+ save they get for void shields in Titandeath might help. Legio/Household rules would be good, also.

I really appreciate the feedback, and I completely agree -- unfortunately I really don't have a good set up to do any filming like you see on GMG or with Litbashing, and I've been hoping that the battle reports and list reviews will be enough "video" content to make up for the less exciting "powerpoint" videos. The channel seems to be doing all right, though, so I definitely will try to get something put together where I can film some modelling and maybe layer the audio onto that. If you have any other thoughts or feedback I'd love to hear it.

Thanks very much for the detailed comment. I do agree that there are some things about the game that need to be fixed -- but it sounds like you have a like-minded group of people to play with, and that's probably the best solution of all.

He's the editor

@@tacticaeimperialis-j8r he's doing a cracking job! Enjoyed the vid btw, thank you for doing that

​@@Farold_Haltermeyer Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! (I'll make sure to give the cicada a raise ;D)

If it's all through the video it's probably the cooler on my house -- I'll see if I can adjust the audio settings to cut that out.

Thanks very much! If I ever have a hundredth of the success Auspex Tactics has reached, I'll be very happy

Glad you enjoyed the video -- and I agree, we have a good group of players. If you have some solid players with you, I definitely encourage you to run an event. Let us know how it goes!

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words

GW's new policy of no longer having points for upgrades hurts the game, in my opinion. There have always been "best options", but taking anything other than the obvious best choice feels like shooting yourself in the foot, instead of a slight disadvantage.

Something does need to happen because there really is very little reason to take anything else. It either needs to be nerfed, increased in points, or the other Leman Russ weapon options need a points decrease (or some combination of the three).

Absolutely. The titan weapons suffer from this also.

If you have some players, I definitely encourage you to organize an event! You're right that it was pretty easy, but I think part of that was because it was low stakes and we all know each other. As soon as you add people walking in sight unseen, entry fees, and prizes, the stress level will rise. If it's your first tournament you are organizing, definitely start small and keep it low stakes. As for who won, strictly speaking I did, as I went 2-0, but since I was judging and organizing, I excluded myself prior to the start of the tournament from eligibility. You can see my army list in the video in the description. Jeff was the runner-up and won on victory points with his Solar Auxilia force.

@@tacticaeimperialis-j8r Dope, ty!

I think putting them in the pioneer company would be a good option! Infiltrate is very powerful.
