Apologies regarding the new Primaris Infiltrators. James deepstrikes them in, a mistake on our part. This is the last battle report where this happens. Thanks guys, and enjoy the battle:)
Jame's choice of target sometimes leads me to wonder if he realizes the threat Destroyers pose...and not knowing lascannon are a bad idea against Quantum armor vehicles
The ultramarines are strict adherents to the codex astartes which must indicate lascannons are to be used against vehicles while vehicles exist among the enemy to the exclusion of all else
The poor decision making by the ultramarines made this sad to watch. Lets be honest, we all knew the result once the ultramarines kept shooting the preds at the ghost ark in turn one. At that point, I skipped right to the end just to double check and no surprise, it was a slaughter. One set of shots at the ghost ark to force a CP use is forgivable, but everything after that was just silly.
James you are better off shooting the lascannons and the hunter killer missiles at the destroyers or any thing without quantum shielding, and then just firing the hell blasters on normal at the ghost arc so Luke has to roll 1's to avoid the damage.
Why did we never get to see James deploy that Apple core he was keeping in reserves? I was looking forward to seeing how effective it was since I didn’t know it was part of the Ultramarines’ roster. Oh well he must have forgotten about it...
Great BR as always. Thinking the preds would have been better deployed focusing on other targets, lascannons into the ghost ark were just wasted everytime. Would it not have been better to use the lascannons on the destroyers and the autocannons on the ghost ark if you really wanted to bring it down. Could have seen the outcome of the first two turns being pretty different with this swap of targets.
As an Ultramarine player I usually quite enjoy how James plays, also sharing a name helps and my army from nearly two decades ago, the good aul Imperial Guard ;) I think having played necrons enough, focus fire is a must, and destroyers are a must kill. Usually when I watch Ultramarines on this channel the choice is always spot on. Unlucky dice rolls added to the pain
Correct me if I'm wrong but you can only fire a single auxillary grenade launcher from a squad of intercessors even if you have two of them. The one model may fire a grenade caveat. The reason you can put 2 in a 10 man squad is so that you can have 1 in each squad of you combat squad them.
Someone needs to work on their target priority 😁 should have been all auto cannons and lascannons at the destroyers until all gone. Could have been done turn one.
love your reports. Suggestions for the necron list. Change the immortals to have tesla carbines, change the tomb blades to have tesla carbines, drop the ghost ark, increase the warrior squads to twenty, consider adding a doomsday ark. These small tweeks will increase the firepower of this list massively. For the dynasty, i think the only real valid alternative to mephrit is sautek. Nihilak is strong but the list has to be tailored for it to be beneficial. Hope these suggestions will help the necrons. Keep up the good work. Happy wargaming.
I don't play necrons much but even I know them destroyers need to go. Also why keep shooting at the ghost arc when that card was played? It was to painful to watch past turn 1.
yay necrons out of interest why do you prefer the particle beamers over the tesla carbine for the Tomb blades? is it for points ? I find the 4 shots per tomb blade and possible tesla more deadly on the tomb blades, especially in mephrit dynasty
James made a few mistakes in the beginning but I'm still impressed with how well the Necrons did in this battle. I've seen James destroy with the list he uses in this game.
Wonderful work as always!! Love seeing these batreps. Though have you considered using a higher framerate for the video quality? I understand if it makes the files too big though the higher framerate would make it easier to read the dice, see models, etc.
Ultramarines I call them bread and butter marines................ Me thinks you likey your Necrons (don't blame you) however...............we shall know no fear!
I really enjoyed this battle report, it is so rare to see necrons win. I think James underestimated them, then he choosed his targets wrong. Also intresting the Gohst Ark psychological effect. Every game I used it my opponent wante to destroy it, and sacrificed a lot of firepower. Which is funny because I don't consider it that powerful. Sure it is nice to have another RP for a warrior unit, but if my opponent destroys whole squads anyway I can't really use it. Still people go after it, which I like becuse it is a good diversion unit.
Does James not know how Necrons work? Why was he splitting targets? He should have taken out the destroyers and then on to the next target. Really bad play. Nice report though!
Why does James KEEP shooting at a target with his highest damage weapons that ignores his high damage weapons.....it makes no sense. I mean its just really poor target priority.
If the intercessors is going to have Rapid Fire 2 stratagem used on them they need to be Veteran Intecessors, which is another 1 CP per unit after you have paid for the specialist detachment. I wish it worked as you are playing it thou 👍🏼❤️
First turn it was strange that James would effectively spoil his damage output by wasting the high damage single shot weapons on the command barge. Maybe best used versus the ‘lady bugs’.
Short question, which "Start collecting" Set has the Best unit worth , I want to Start with 40k but I'm already invested enough that I don't need dark Imperium or shadow spear and there's 4chan for the codexes
Great value is the Tau, all the units in the start collecting are great. You need strike teams and the crisis suits. Dont take the craftworlds, it is quite a waste.
@@Duppyman695 Me and my friend made a 11500 ork army I spent like 1800 bucks and bought about 5800 points plus a Mega Gorkanok the $600 one ya and a $300 dinosaur thing I fogot the name. Long story short he had my shit right when I went to basic and he ended up going to jail for drugs and abuse shit was in storage it's all gone. Ya I spent like $1800 so ya f'ed up.
Yet more glory for the Ethernal Dynasties. To bd fair that was really bad rolls for UM and goid reanimation rolls for the Necrons... but that is good example what will happened if you fail to kill the full squad of the Necrons. P.S. Gilliman to the sector commander after reading repport on this battle: "They are adopted. Do not expected much from tham, any way"
Its difficult to see but have you guys been playing the banner right? Its models 3" from the banner. You cant roll to see if a model fires back then remove a model thats further than 3". Seems like theres a suspicious large amount of models always within 3" of the banner.... :P
Great video. I noticed in this video and your other videos that you are pronouncing Lichen wrong...it's pronounced Lai-kn. Sounds the same as the other word for werewolf...Lycan
Were is ya stalker a steal with a practical shredder 115 st7 -1 d3 damage and heavy 6 dont matter if it hits its power for rerolls is the unit targeted not hit ha ha so ya can miss all ya shots and power still goes off
Really tired of seeing a banner with 10 hellblasters who reroll everything. Its exhausting and so played out. It's every ultramarine army on every battle report. Do ultramarines have no other strategy? Itd be refreshing to see one and must be so boring being an ultramarine player.
What a waste of Predator's shots on turn one... Seriously, shooting a ghost ark with D6 damage weapons instead of oblitarating the Destroyers??? Who would do that? What a shame... Lose a game just because of "Target priority".

I thought Infiltrators could have grav ?
Is that a original color for your necrons?I made the back armor green in there shoulder armor but I don’t no if I should change it
Use whatever colours you like it doesn't really matter:) @@warhammer40kforlife37
i love the idea of the librarian realising that necrons have no psykers and discretly moving the bookmark to another page of his spell book haha.
Soon as he shot the second time at the ghost arc I just rolled my eyes why not aim for destroyers was unreal
James' battlecries/random shoutout are just the best.
I love that there is no cheese in your army lists! So njoyable to watch a beautiful game.

Great battlereport, James you should of focused all of the three predators into the ladybugs! Those are the real menace of those godless necrons!
James you are better off shooting the lascannons and the hunter killer missiles at the destroyers or any thing without quantum shielding, and then just firing the hell blasters on normal at the ghost arc so Luke has to roll 1's to avoid the damage.
Why did we never get to see James deploy that Apple core he was keeping in reserves? I was looking forward to seeing how effective it was since I didn’t know it was part of the Ultramarines’ roster. Oh well he must have forgotten about it...

More like unload everything on the destroyers.
I just have to say, James played a perfect game....for the Necrons! :P
lol:)
Orbital bombardment has to be the worst stratagem in the game lol
It also can only be used on the first turn...
@@fenixreborn3834 no
Line breaker is better with 3 vindicators 1 cp and there only 125p each
@@younan5011 Cool?
@@corsivar line breaker is a similar stratergem but way better
That steal the initiative was brutal for the Necrons. Love the reaction from you Scorpion. I think I had traumatic flashbacks. Lol.
lol:)
Those models looking CRISP.
Loving the video so far. I miss seeing the Astra Militarum in action :( Keep up the good work though!
IG making a come back very soon:)
I like how the Imperial Fists always have been at the battlefield before and failed. You should show that battle
lol:)

Even just watching 12 wounds get ignored hurts.....
yeah I felt James' pain lol:)

Keep up the great work. These videos just make me build up terrain and armies to a similar level!

Try replace Warriors with more Tesla Immortals, actually. Far superior.
Poor James.. As a Ultramarine at heart i feel you.
Courage and Honour Brother!
We March for Macragge!

Great game. Suprising outcome for sure, but well earned. Harsh lessons were learnt this day.
yay necrons
out of interest why do you prefer the particle beamers over the tesla carbine for the Tomb blades?
is it for points ?
I find the 4 shots per tomb blade and possible tesla more deadly on the tomb blades, especially in mephrit dynasty
I may well experiment to see which works best:)
James made a few mistakes in the beginning but I'm still impressed with how well the Necrons did in this battle. I've seen James destroy with the list he uses in this game.
Awesome report, I trade out the ghost ark for triarch stalker because re roll 1s to hit and quantum shielding is fun.
You guys are awesome!
I'm loving all these Necron batreps!
I've never seen anyone roll as many 6s to seize than James. I don't remember a battle report where he HASN'T seized XD
It's that golden dice he uses lol!:)
It’s ladybird, not ladybug. You are English not American!
It would be cool to see you get a doomsday ark or two to really boost these necron lists
Wish I knew how to play this but this is very fun to watch
Best way is to join in a game:)
What was the stratagem used at 50:36? Didn’t quite hear it on the video.
Wonderful work as always!! Love seeing these batreps. Though have you considered using a higher framerate for the video quality? I understand if it makes the files too big though the higher framerate would make it easier to read the dice, see models, etc.
yes may adjust in the future:)

very pleasant to watch. didnt waste any time.
Great battle guys. Where do you get your musis from? Really like that turn one song.
full music details in the end credits:)
Oooo that music playing at 18:37, what is it?
full music details in the end credits:)
Would you be able to tell me how you painted the Necrons? I LOVE their colors.
Full Painting Tutorial for them on the Channel:)

Great video again ....!
Historical reenactment of the fall of Damnos....
Just need that noob, Cato Sicarius
hi could you tell me the music artist you used pls.
full music details in the end credits:)
I'm well aware I'll probably never get a reply to this but, I was wondering which dynasty this necron army is running?
Mephrit
That battle cry was pretty good
Are the Bolter Rules still in use, example don't move fire twice at full distance instead of just the one shot ?
yes. But vehicles don't get it anymore:)
First turn it was strange that James would effectively spoil his damage output by wasting the high damage single shot weapons on the command barge. Maybe best used versus the ‘lady bugs’.
Yup, still hate the Necrons. I feel for you James.
Tau are more EVIL
Ouch! This game was lost on turn 1 with the terrible waste of the Predator shots.
Short question, which "Start collecting" Set has the Best unit worth , I want to Start with 40k but I'm already invested enough that I don't need dark Imperium or shadow spear and there's 4chan for the codexes
My 2cent is necrons have a great starter box set will need more troops (warriors) in your army but don't need two many paints to start!
Another option is Ork but lots of units means big bucks. Just being honest
Great option plus a deffdread in the Ork start collecting box set and who don't love a deffdread!?!
Great value is the Tau, all the units in the start collecting are great. You need strike teams and the crisis suits. Dont take the craftworlds, it is quite a waste.
