I was screaming "FOR THE EMPEROR" and "EMPEROR PROTECTS" even before I had seen a single miniature. Because I am a simple man. If I hear even rumours of the imperial guard. I will press the like button. Death to the robots and the xenos. For the glory of the imperium.
I absolutely LOVE any battle report that features James' Astra Militarum force. Each list is unique and fun. You can never give me too many AS battle reports. Thanks as always for the great content, and congratulations on the sponsorship!
James dicerolls in turn two were so aweful, it almost feels like he didn't want to shoot the xenos... The Inquisition better be looking into this heresy.
One note about combining MWBD (WoC) with Extermination Protocols. Since you do rerolls before applying modifiers, you still need to reroll your 2s to hit with the Destroyers since they are technically "misses". Then you apply the +1 to hit from MWBD.
You guys always have great looking tables and armies!!! I would personally love to one day see one of the catan worked into the necron list. I love seeing the night bringer on the table!!
Odd question...where do you get that gravel to put around the terrain? I really like it and gives the whole setup a more realistic feel. I want to emulate that in my games. I love watching your games partly because of the effort and time you guys have put in to making a nice table.
The gravel is actually sived from sand leaving the larger stones. I then actually sprayed the stones with the same grey spray I used to undercoat the buildings, and then finally i added brown wash to the stones to stain them a bit:)
I dont think the lead in is too long. Just put a time tag to the start of army intros and when the battle starts. I like that you talk about the game a little and show off the map.
ill admit in actual gameplay ive done very little, but should i be bothered by how many lascannon shots went into a thing with quantum shielding? i get firing one just to get someone to waste the command point if you know they'll do it... but were there really no better options considering what else that could have been fired at?
His deployment also wasn't that great, he had to move too many tanks in the first turn which affected his shooting, next to his poor dice rolling and target priority. Also should have put those mortar team in the line of sight blocking terrain.
@@yesiamarussianbot3076 He could have hid those mortar teams behind the baneblade completely out of sight if he had moved it forward enough and kept it deployed sideways like he did.
Why dont you use the cities of death rules from CA18 city fights height advantage any unit in a build on the upper levels who have line of sight on to enemy units on lower level (ground level) gets an +1 to wound rolls could be useful in these games and adds a little more cinematic to the game? Maybe?
15:40 - and here we have some soft man flesh protecting the hard metal tanks; doesn't quite sound right somehow!?!? :D Awesome terrain set-up! Should be an interesting match! ...and at least the Baneblade's not got an apocalyptic blast weapon; would encompass 85% of the Necron force!! >XD
Ok your videos and bat reps on both the youtube channel and your plus channel i subscribed to got me into starting admech. Im a DG, Guard, Cron player but have invested in about 3k in admech im currently building the last troop choices but cant figure out what to equip the alphas in both rangers and vanguards with. Any good load outs you would recomend for stand back arc ranger squad alphas and for aggressive plasma vanguard alphas? Any and all hekp woukd be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great work.
James! Love your cadian army man but you gotta use their reroll shot volume order for leman russes at all times! It's way better than the reroll 1s order
Luke you are a very good commander, it doesn't matter what army you use and how weak/powerful your list is you always seem to have good tactics and a solid battle plan. Your deployments are always really efficient with minimizing casualties as seen in this batrep, it must be so frustrating for opponents lol, I'd like to see you in control of a Guard army but I guess that's not your thing.
As always a very good battle report. I really liked your tactical decision when you teleported with the destroyers. It is not something I would have think, but it worked well. However I was suprised that James's tactic wasn't as good as usually. His got a couple of bad rolls, it was painful to watch, but he spread his firepower too much I think. In my experience when you play against necrons you have to kill one unit at a time. Even if it means to shooting lascanons to warriors. The ghost ark also worked for you pretty wel. It was a big distraction/fire magnet.
Great report as always dude 👍 James get a trojan sat behind your bain blade dude make him bleed 🤣 . And love the guard camo scheme may have to pinch that. Do love a good guard vs orks batt report if you take requests 😁👍
Tamun-Ra should've been killed, he was down to 1, then with living metal he can go back to 2-4 wounds remaining due to Google Chrome improving his living metal. It seems like you played it as Tamun-Ra getting his living metal, and then being repaired by the Cryptek. Not sure it would've changed anything, but at least it would've restored some pride to the Guard. (Tldr. Baneblade did 4 damage in its second go, Tamun-Ra's maximum wounds remaining at that point was 4, thus he should have fallen). Great to see both the Guard and the Necrons back in action!:)
I love and hate your battle reports. The narrative is great. Models painted great. Camera panning great. Music great. Board arrangement great. James dice rolls absolutely horrid. LOL!
Give your guests a microphone pls....i mean.... i could hear those loud "imperium shouts"... but the rest of his talkling could be louder. And i'm glad this Imperium force is slain! Xenos are the best...
I love watching these battlereps that start off and show you astra militarum with a baneblade and then the opponent with only one anti-tank unit. saves me the time of having to watch this one-sided bullshit.
So frustrating to watch those dice rolls! Beautiful Cadian army but please stop splitting fire. Just concentrate on one unit and wipe it off the face of the battle grid.
@@Willh-d1p that is a fair argument ill give you that. I guess it just comes down to personal preferences on what you use. Russes are extremely good for how cheap they are in points and that they get grinding advance
@@seanturpin3646 I love the super heavy chassis of the malcador and banes. But its just a lot of guns on a t8 3+ frame that only hits on 4+. For about 400 points less you can field 2 leman russ tank commanders with battlecannon, lascannon and bolters. A regular russ with a demolisher turret and bolter costs 150. A stock russ is only 152. A lot of firepower that you can space out instead of cluster into one gigantic frame.
Infantry? Sentinals? A Wyvern? The f*** is wrong with you!? Why would you ever take mortars!!!??? Should have dropped the sentinels and wyvern and gone with another Leman Russ. And NEVER tale mortars. Always Heavy Bolters and Lascannons. Or betters till, just Lascannons. Especially as your tanks are ripping out enough anti-infantry fire to sink a nid swarm.

Jame's ran the Baneblade illegally having 4 detachments that he didn't even pay the CP for, auto lose for the Militarum.

You and James woulld get on well! FOR THE EMPEROR!:)
For the Emperor!!!
Wait, I'm actually a necron snd tyranids player....
Tyranids, Tyr..... Die heretics, burn in holy fire, for the Emperor!!!

The Channel wouldn't be the same without James' IG:)
I can watch James' Astra Militarum army all day long. Gorgeous looking models. Love his guard collection!
James dicerolls in turn two were so aweful, it almost feels like he didn't want to shoot the xenos... The Inquisition better be looking into this heresy.
His Guard are under investigation lol:)
I gotta say the tables you put out are nothing short of jaw dropping good dude....
Thanks:)
Living metal VS flesh and bone I know which horse I would back! Then I see a Baneblade, changes the odds. Awesome battle.
Who in the Emperors name is putting a thumbs down?
This is always a good matchup:)

I pity the Guardsman who has to square off against an eon-old death machine with a gun that disassembles things at a molecular level.
Love the use of the synthwave-y music here. :D Very apt considering the Necrons and all that.
Yeah I thought it matched in well:)
I dont think the lead in is too long. Just put a time tag to the start of army intros and when the battle starts. I like that you talk about the game a little and show off the map.
So you say spearhead detachment how did you get the baneblade in ??? You didnt mention superheavy aux which does not get doctrines ????
We appreciate what you put up with to bring us entertainment
What’s the music prior to AM turn one as the camera pans over the table?? It’s fantastic!
All music details in the end credits:)
The EMPEROR was not with the Guard in this Battle Report! shame
I love your reports but James’ composition and target priority always frustrates me

Same here, he's not as good of a player as Luke
He does seem to struggle against the Necrons:)
Why would you deploy mortar teams in the open when they don't require LoS?
Where do you get those command point tokens from?
ebay:)
@@StrikingScorpion82 much appreciated :)
@@Jdx192 No problem:)
Can I ask, what is the music used in this br? Thanks
Full details in the end credits:)
StrikingScorpion82 thank you, it’s great!
Nice table! Where did you buy the objetives?
Thanks. The green markers are an old GW set. If you mean the FW resin bits I think James found them on ebay:)

Could try that:)
How long does it take you to setup the terrain for a game?
About 25mins:)

How did that seize roll off that 6?
Hey nice video! Are the lichens/moss that you often use on your table self made or are they the 'ready to go ones' from the train modelling hobby?
Just a bag of lichen bought from ebay:)

Awesome game! Excellent work gentlemen.
Thanks:)
Thanks for the battle report. ...If only you remember the Quantum Shielding work in close combat for the Temun-Ra....
Yeah need to remember that:)
@@StrikingScorpion82 Well. You play so many different armies. It is hard to remember everything :)

Thanks a lot. I'd collect IG if GW made more regiments in plastic:)
This is a good illustration of why I basically don't even walk into Necron games.
while shopping around for a vostroyan force. This drops!
Didn't they change it so Guard demolishers are also preset to D6 always in the latest round of FAQs?
They get stuff wrong all the time on this channel ,hence James illegal 4th detachment that he didn't pay a CP for the Baneblade.
@@ogsnoop2126 Why -1 cp its a super heavy auxiliary detachment? A brigade and a spearhead where are you getting 4 detachments from?
@@AlvinAu148 Sorry was gonna go back and verify, but didn't care once James threw the game by splitting fire constantly.
Well crap thought I had almost enough models for 2,000 point Guard army but guess not...
C A D I A S T A N D S!!!!!
I wonder sometimes how James keeps from just leaving when his dice go so cold. When his rolls go cold they are ice cold.
Love it, all the best Garry
Glad you enjoyed it:)
Both very competitive lists!
Have you a like purely for getting GW sponsorship.
Well done sir. 👏🏻
Thanks a lot:)
If James had the baneblade deployed like that he should have moved it slightly ahead for the mortar teams to hide behind out of sight of the necrons.
As always a very good battle report. I really liked your tactical decision when you teleported with the destroyers. It is not something I would have think, but it worked well.

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. Yes that teleport move is very useful...when I remember to use it!:)
He didn't fire with negative 1 at the blades first turn I do believe. (after watching) not that it matters in the slightest.
Great report as always dude 👍 James get a trojan sat behind your bain blade dude make him bleed 🤣
. And love the guard camo scheme may have to pinch that.
Do love a good guard vs orks batt report if you take requests 😁👍
Full Guard painting tutoral on the channel. Yes need to play Guard vs Orks again:)
Wish you would mic up your opponents
This will be epic.
What? Necrons never lose? Let my AdMech list in the name of Omnissiah wipe them out.
Tamun-Ra should've been killed, he was down to 1, then with living metal he can go back to 2-4 wounds remaining due to Google Chrome improving his living metal.

best moment of the game: seize the initiative... 6... and its a 1
It did seem to suddenly go into slow-mo when that 6 showed face! 🤣
I love and hate your battle reports. The narrative is great. Models painted great. Camera panning great. Music great. Board arrangement great. James dice rolls absolutely horrid. LOL!
thanks:)
I think the lead in's were too long. Just my opinion. Really enjoyed the battle report. Thank you.
Ok thanks:)
I dont think too long. Just put a tag to the start of the battle so people can skip. I like the detail.
its always nice to see necrons winning, even tho the codex play against us.
armored sentinels can move 8 inches mate.
Give your guests a microphone pls....i mean.... i could hear those loud "imperium shouts"... but the rest of his talkling could be louder.
And i'm glad this Imperium force is slain! Xenos are the best...
Ahh re roll ones does suit you. Pfffttt 🤣🤣🤣
What Happened to the new intro?
Ahhh you cut him off halfway through his speech.As a heretic I approve,but it is nice to see someone with such passion for a false emperor.
lol:)
nice
Just another one sided fight of Necrons/ Tau Vs Guard.
That is actually the most skewed cancerous dice I have ever had the displeasure to watch
I love watching these battlereps that start off and show you astra militarum with a baneblade and then the opponent with only one anti-tank unit. saves me the time of having to watch this one-sided bullshit.
Oooo I wonder who will win. I kid. It’ll be cheesy necrons of course
Ah yes, worst codex in the game next to grey knights cheesy necrons
Santiago Suarez yup
Stop smaking your tongues
Great video love to see more

So frustrating to watch those dice rolls! Beautiful Cadian army but please stop splitting fire. Just concentrate on one unit and wipe it off the face of the battle grid.
James needs to stop with the plasma russes also why that baneblade its too much points James no bad at 2000 points.
