    I just imagine Pask watching that wraithknight fall, and just before the wriathlord killed him, saying, "We did it. By the Emperor, we did it."

    I've been playing eldar since the 3rd edition, so I'm a huge fan of them.
    But every time I see the dialogues here, between the guardsmen, I can sense all the fear and the despair caused by being in a such a scary situation, with a 20m tall monstrous creature knocking at your door, without any possibility of saving yourself. The music enhances this, making this all real and even more grim... May Vaul bless me, I don't want to be in such a desperate situation IRL...

  • @ep1phany62
    @ep1phany62 11 лет назад

    I think the threatening presence of the Wraithknight did for him there.
    One slight error was using the demolisher on the jet bikes and the hellhound on the rangers. Should have been the other way round. The flamer would autohit the Jetbikes and they would only get armour saves and maybe go after something else with the demolisher. Guard are tricky but a labour of love. So close to finishing my Valhallans:)

    I'm a Guard player as well, and I have a few suggestions for James if he'd like to hear them.
    1. Put some heavy weapons in your infantry squads. A combined squad of 30 men with lasguns isn't much. But if that combined squad also has three meltaguns, or maybe some missile launchers in it, then it becomes a serious threat, especially against heavy infantry like Wraithlords. If you're looking for the points, drop the Chimeras and fill your squads with bigger guns.
    2. Drop one of the infantry platoons and run some veteran squads in Chimeras with meltaguns and/or plasma guns. I regularly run such a combo, and it's quite effective at dealing with monstrous creatures (including Wraithlords and Wraithknights)
    3. Drop the Valkyrie and run a Vendetta instead. Three twin-linked lascannons can put some serious hurt on the enemies of the Emperor.
    4. Invest in Medics. At 30 pts. each, they cost quite a bit, but they keep your commanders alive longer, which makes it harder to decapitate your army.

  • @dcannon4life
    @dcannon4life 11 лет назад

    @ 23:00 1) You needed to roll 3 dice (taking the lowest 2) for charging over the defense line. 2) You did, indeed, forget your S10 Hammer of Wrath that auto hits at Initiative 10. 3) Close Combat attacks made against a vehicle that did not move in that turn or the turn prior hit automatically (WS ZERO; p. 76 BRB). That tank was DOA.

    Great batrep,
    I do enjoy watching all of yours you do a great job highlighting certain moments as they happen.
    Also, the quote you should have used for the guard in the beginning is straight form the primer:
    "These "Guardians" are the Eldar citizen militia, they are not true soldiers and know nothing of war. They are like disobedient children, treat them as such."

  • @twhittleone

  • @CasuallyFilthy.
    @CasuallyFilthy. 11 лет назад +3

    I think James' problem is that he always waits for the enemy to come to him. I know they're guardsman and that's what they do, but it's not aggressive. To me, it seems like he boxes himself into a corner every game.

  • @Reilly455
    @Reilly455 11 лет назад +1

    Wonderful report. I envy the scenery - each one you play on is a true masterpiece. And the armies are amazing - big fan of the Guard since the Apocalypse game. :) I think James should try out a couple of Vendettas - they're pretty awesome in taking down Wraithknights. And an Inquisitor from the new Digital Codex should fit in nicely with some Prescience for a blob squad with autocannons. A friend of mine always uses 50man Guard blob with some allied charactes that's always giving a headache to both my Eldar and Daemons. Keep up the good work, Sir! RUclips is a better place thanks to such reports.

    Dont forget, that the Wraithknight Shield makes every unit in 6" surroundings take an Initiative test if he succeeds with at least one Inv Save. No matter if against shots or melee.
    If they dont make it their WS and BS are reduced to 1 afaik.

  • @RFerrer
    @RFerrer 11 лет назад +2

    Just hold on, James! If the rumors are right then the new Codex: Imperial Guard is out in three months, after the forthcoming Codex: Tyranids in January. :D

  • @benji241287
    @benji241287 11 лет назад

    Hey, great vid as always. Remember the wraithknight has a hammer of wrath attack which auto hits, so you might have penetrated that demolisher. Glad to see bright lances on your serpents. People need to realise that despite all the tl shield shots they get you have sod all AT and no survivability with AV12, especially against guard. Someone's already mentioned relentless platforms and blind tests.
    Keep them coming :-D

    I love how guard are just such a nice army, they don't field stupidly big creatures or mega armoured troops, just tanks, guns and anything else they can throw at them, wish other armies could be like that rather than all about bringing the biggest toughest thing they have...

    • @Indoor_Carrot
      @Indoor_Carrot 11 лет назад

      Eldar are a very fragile army... They need the monstrous creatures to be able to take some hits

    • @Undeadpank
      @Undeadpank 11 лет назад

      So are guard, at least the infantry is and the light vehicles, and you don't see them hiding behind a giant power ranger

    • @Indoor_Carrot
      @Indoor_Carrot 11 лет назад

      true, but they do have the strongest vehicles in the game i think (Tau are nice but not as heavily armed) my mate always beats me with guard, i have no idea how to fight them

  • @thurguud
    @thurguud 11 лет назад +1

    LOL i remember exactly that striking scorpion exarc, his wave sepernt was destroyed near the aegis line on the right flank while filming meanwhile the avatar was making 2 squads of 3 bikes fearless at the back to hold objectives. Two wraithlords were running from far away left long sinde of the table and they never made into combat. I don´t rememer exactly but i think there was a wraithknight or some spiders that made into the enemy corner line but were killed fast. So this escorpion exarc was isolated with just one wave serpent providing cove fire from far away behind a hill. After his wave serpent was distroyed like 8 of 10 man of the scorpion exarc squad died on the 1st round. The 9th member died to snap fire so this that exarc was alone by himself. He killed i think they were like 3 member of the 1st squad of guardsmen and the whole squad run away the table edge. Then he faced the imperial guard CG and killed him in a duel. He stuck locked in combat with the reast of the 2nd imp guard squad, hit again, killed some and made them run killing the rest overunning them. He died at the end like a hero, if i dont remember it bad, under the fire of a 15 men imp guar squad that were walking to hold an objective on a hill. I think eldar won the game because one point or something like that, it was one of the closest games i have ever seen Why do i remember all of that?
    Also thx for the video. I was missing so much one of your batreps wich are the best ones out there with a huge difference by many reasons: Reeeeeally nice painting, nice tables, nice strategy, different eldar army than saimhann, really nice and peculiar way to play the game as eldar (i would like you to show how would you use a harlequin themed, not necessarily 3 units, army of 2000 points: configuration, strategies, supports... they are expensive :D) Everythig is almost always nicely represented, the nice comments between the turns, nicely selected music, nice hard opponents with nice strats and nice armies as well as yours, i have never seen a big rule mistakes and a really nice knowledge of the game. Nice fast and well expressed important rolls and not a single batrep miss all this things. Good Job and Thanks.

  • @Grits420
    @Grits420 11 лет назад +2

    I've been playing imperial guard since 3rd edition and it's the most powerful it's ever been. The problem is James has missed the plot when it comes to making a competitive IG army. Ditch the special weapons, vox, upgrades, veterans, conscripts and just take bare bones infantry with heavy weapons and heavy weapons squads. Specifically heavy bolters (they shoot more then autocannons) and missile launchers (more versatile then lascannons and cheaper). Then when your putting down 45+ heavy bolter rounds and 15+ missile rounds down the board and your only at 1200 pts then you have a good foundation for a IG army. Then you can add in your fancy tanks.

    • @con_boy
      @con_boy 11 лет назад

      Aaron Richards I think he's saying it cos of the cover saves rule the roost now - "moar dice" > "moar powa" that sort of thing..

    • @Grits420
      @Grits420 11 лет назад

      Aaron Richards ya man your right about autocannons. But Conrad put well "moar dice" > "moar powa". I fined BS 3 is the biggest hump to get over as far as getting the IG to do damage. And I fined the extra strength doesn't help as much as the extra round against the targets I would fined myself shooting with autocannon/heavy bolter. Ya you could shoot beefier stuff with the autocannon, but I just tend to leave those to my missiles and tanks. That being said I totally equip the autocannon on my BS 4 infantry like a veteran/command squad. I really like the autocannon, 3 sniper veteran squad combo

    Another great game, and brilliant to see a new Eldar list. Good skills mate. One point, you robbed yourself with the guardian platforms shooting, you snap fired. These grav platforms are relentless and as such fire on full BS even if moved. I believe the unit can still battle focus with a grav platform too.

  • @Razieljenova
    @Razieljenova 11 лет назад

    What I don't get is why don't you fire the sun cannon on the guardsmen as the WK approaches the tanks, three blast shots that scatter a bit on that piled up formation would soon turn it into a meat grinder causing the guardsmen to retreat leaving the board and abandoning their objective.
    Second, I've seen that in most scenarios you face a flyer; fire the twin linked scatter laser of the serpent on it making all other weapons on the model twin linked with one hit; then release the serpent shield, which bypasses the jinks cover save at S7, and see it fall down.

  • @patrickwatza9853
    @patrickwatza9853 10 лет назад

    Note for James: after watching several battle reports, I think you need to drop the defense line. I think it puts you too much in a defensive mindset; too reactive instead of proactive. Also, don't be afraid to use your infantry to protect your tanks. Meat shield tar-pits can buy your tanks an extra round of shooting.
    Keep up the good work gents!

  • @RESEDAPRIME
    @RESEDAPRIME 11 лет назад +1

    That was a nail biter! I was sure, that the Eldar would fail this time, but no...i too, have the "lance curse" in more games than one...remember the Hammer of wrath on Monstrous Creature, you would have dealt with that first tank on the first try with S10...Amazing BATREP, as always!

    • @erikmazon4587
      @erikmazon4587 11 лет назад

      Yep. You didn't need to roll to hit. It was an automatic penetrating hit on the first tank just for reaching it.

    • @erikmazon4587
      @erikmazon4587 9 лет назад

      ***** And thats true, at least for normal combats. But monstruous creatures have the "Hammer of wrath" rule which inflicts one automatic hit with the strength of the monster in case they charge into combat. In the case of the Eldar big daddy that is Strength 10 against the rear armour of a vehicle, which, being 10, implies an automatic penetrating hit by just reaching it in close combat (auto hit, Str10+1D6 penetrtation = minimum 11).

    • @erikmazon4587
      @erikmazon4587 9 лет назад

      Erik Mazon Also, hammer of wrath applies to all kind of enemies, no matter if they are infantry vehicle or whatever..
      Only exception flyers as they can not be charged in combat.

    • @oplu45

    @Jaredcee01 11 лет назад

    You should replace your Valerye with a Vendetta. Your flyers first role is to gain air superiority by taking down other flyers, then turning its guns to ground targets. 3 Twin linked lascannons will do that infinitely better then some heavy bolters. Plus its still a transport viecle.
    Also, you cant have a guard army without including guardsman marbo.
    Pask did really good in his new leman russ. Although i miss your V cannon, he was quite impressive with his new set up.

  • @dcannon4life
    @dcannon4life 11 лет назад

    Please consider putting a Scatter Laser on your Sun Cannon-wielding Wraith Knight; if it hits, it twin-links the Cannon.... Also, consider removing one of the Wraith Lords and putting in 6+ Warp Spiders. Deployment-wise, I would have put the Wraith Knight on the left flank (like you did), the Avatar in the middle (again, like you did), and the Wraith Lord (I would only take one) on the right flank.
    Finally, a good rule of thumb I've learned to live and die by: Don't get out of the vehicle unless you're certain of the outcome.

    • @RFerrer
      @RFerrer 11 лет назад

      Actually...
      1) The Wraithknight DOES have a Scatter Laser. It's attached to the Suncannon. He mentions it right around 3:40.
      2) There were no Warp Spiders in this list because he was deliberately making a themed army list centered around Guardians without any Aspect Warriors. He mentions that around 1:56.

    The funny thing is that if there was another turn, gaunt and his guardsmen could have taken the objective held by the rangers and the guard could still have won, even with only 7 models!

    • @RFerrer
      @RFerrer 11 лет назад

      Hah, you're right! Even if they hadn't been able to claim the objective, so long as they survived they could've contested it, in which case the score would've been 2-1 Imperial Guard.
      Geeze, it's amazing when you think about these things. Every time there's some small thing which, if it'd gone slightly differently, could've resulted in an Imperial Guard victory.

    • @scottanderson2741
      @scottanderson2741 11 лет назад

      That's the thing with objective games. You can have one model left, but as long as he's on an objective you can still win!

      Yeah, something similar happened to me in a 500 point battle against Eldar with an Ork force. By the end of the game he still had 16 guys left while I only had 3 (He had 10 Guardian Defenders with a Shuriken Cannon, 4 Striking Scorpions, and 1 Dire Avenger Exarch, while I just had the Warboss, 1 Nob, and 1 Deffkopta). But because he forgot to grab objectives, I ended up winning 3-0 as I'd gotten First Blood, Slay the Warlord, and Linebreaker (the Deffkopta with 1 Wound swooped into his deployment zone at the last minute).

    Great videos guys. Got me interested in 40K again! (My wallet thanks you!).
    Going forward with your channel I'd love to see some campaigns started with story based missions. Creating your own characters and units (Just history and name etc..), planets and background within the 40k universe. I think people could really get behind and follow certain characters (Striking Scorpion Exarch for instance!). Getting them invested in the armies and characters and having permanent death to these characters and units would just up the drama, cinematic view and ante even more than usual!
    Anyway just my ideas! Keep up the good work lads, looking forward to the next clash.

    Not sure what you meant when the Jetbikes assaulted the passengers that had spilled out of the wrecked Chimera and you said "you're allowed to do that now in 6th edition"? Did you mean that they could assault a unit provided they had been in a transport which was the unit the Jetbikes shot at during the shooing phase? This was also the case in 5th edition, you could assault the embarked passengers of a transport you popped open.

    • @con_boy
      @con_boy 11 лет назад

      I think it's as simple as the assault phase comes after the shooting phase, therefore if units are there at the beginning of the assault phase they are able to be assaulted - in the other scenario had the tank not been popped - he could have assaulted the tank so I think he's done it right (might be wrong)

    • @pajugarline6121
      @pajugarline6121 11 лет назад

      Conrad Bate I think you can t assault the imperial guards in this case, because you shooted to another unit, the tranport in this case. And you must assault to what you shoot. Imperial guards and tranport aren t the same unit in this case.

    • @ArchonTimatron
      @ArchonTimatron 11 лет назад

      I already explained: you absolutely can assault the unit that comes out of a transport if you destroy it. I just wondered why Scorp would think this wasn't the case in the previous edition of the rules. None of the 'I think' stuff, I know.

    • @con_boy
      @con_boy 11 лет назад

      oh, well who knows, surely off the cuff I guess.. or is he talking about the autarch with laser lance maybe?

    • @con_boy
      @con_boy 11 лет назад

      Tim Kaye more conjecture (it's sad to say I am enjoying this)I think it might be that the autarch shot and was able to assault.. there is also a new 6th edition thing about having 2 attacks in melee with a pistol and the old rule not having to hold onto the bike with one hand anymore - or as I say - it might be a laser lance rule change (did they change)

    Great Batrep - few thoughts re the Eldar
    Why Bright Lances on the Serpents? Surely the twin linked Scatter is better even though you were facing a lot of tanks - the S7 from the shields is a better bet to glance stuff to death with rerolls against AV11/12.
    Also, were you taking your cover saves from the Pens being converted into glances from the Serpent Shield? You didn't seem to be.

    • @StrikingScorpion82

    The Guardian Defender platforms count as assault weapons, so you shouldnt've fired them as snap shots :)

  • @TheNeiven
    @TheNeiven 11 лет назад

    Painting is great but you should playe more competetive Eldar. More Scater Lasser Serpents. More Farseer. If you want fun units think about hawks with exarch and sun rifle. Night Spinner/Fire Prism are also fun and strong.

    Jeez, as you would say! Those were some crappy dice rolls man! Was just gonna say about the relentless thing for the weapon platforms. Also, did the guard in the Chimera do overwatch out of the fire points? It wasn't mentioned.

  • @daniilosudin290

    why didn't you just assault the wraith knight with a combined squad and commisar to make him stuck in combat for the rest of the game?

    • @MessInTheDark
      @MessInTheDark 11 лет назад

      He might not have been able to. You are not allowed to charge a model that you cannot possibly harm. That being said, I am not sure what wargear, if any, that his characters had that may allow him to harm them.
