Really love the conversion work (and paint job!) of the Night lords, subtle integration of Chaosie stuff whilst holding a strong 30k look. The paintwork on the Dark Angles is also lovely!
I always loved the idea of these paragons of war, the Dark Angels, with all their history and culture and honor and ancient wargear, being killed by some upjumped gutter rat back alley murderers.
Another great battle report and really enjoyed seeing the night lords. When doing a return fire reaction you roll before pinning and morale checks are made. That's what it said in the FAQ. Awesome job as always, can't wait for more
Awesome armies guys! Just letting you know, you can't use the terranic greatsword and the boarding shield on the same model because the shield prevents the use of two handed weapons. It barely matters because you can count it as a combat shield and run the greatsword just fine, but you won't get that heavy keyword if that's important.
Always love to see more heresy battle reports! The Spartan should have been wounding the Leviathan dreadnought on 2s with the Lascannons because Vehicles count as 10 models (but Dreadnoughts only count as 1) so it should have had the +1 to wound, which *might* have mattered since it was pretty impactful in the middle-game on those last couple wounds. In T4 the Night Raptors should have been I5 due to Sudden Strike and struck before the deathbuddies - not that it made a difference with that rolling =) What a tight game! One or two dice rolls could have really changed the results, glad to see it
The force axe on the Librarian is unwieldy so the leviathan and the terminators would have swung before it, he may have been able to kill all of them before he could swing, though it is unlikely so really it probably only would have meant a couple of extra dead terminators.
When you fired at the terminator squad with your interemptors, did u remember 2 of the heavy plasma flamers have torrent 9"? you should have been able to hit his entire squad twice almost with those 2 shots alone. Then add whatever the guys in front could hit also. so with the 21 you had, you should have at least another 12 from the 2 torrent shots...
Hey SN, lovely looking battle as ever. As a heads up for Rowan I think he’s been short changing his attacks with the twin lightning claws. Should be +2 attacks for having 2 claws so would be 6 each with Talent for Murder! P.137 of the Liber book :)
@@SNBattleReports having a pair of lightning claws (which I think Rowan said they had?) Is +2 attacks rather than +1 for two weapons. 2 base + 2 for paired claws +1 for charging + 1 for Bloody Murder. Edit - Bloody Murder against a pinned unit not Talent for Murder
Just a heads up when charging a dreadnought. The dreadnought can only overwatch. The hold is a test that has to be passed or failed but dreadnoughts are fearless. Meaning because they always pass, this is in direct contrast with the rule as the charged players has to take a test. The chance of a fail means they could be swept by the charging opponent on the fall back
Hey Sam sorry but this is not correct Dreads can brace and auto pass. Only reaction they can’t do Is just any reaction that would grant a save or damage mitigation roll
After the Active player has resolved all Shooting Attacks made by all of the weapons the unit making the Shooting Attack has, the Reactive player makes a Shooting Attack with the Reacting unit (including with any models that have been reduced to 0 Wounds and before any Pinning tests or Morale checks are taken) targeting only the unit that triggered this Reaction
@@SNBattleReports My apologies for not referencing I should know better. In the video you were asking if you take the pinning check before or after the return fire. Removing models/ moral checks happen after the reaction is complete. I have been very much enjoying your HH battle reports and you guys have really helped this community
With the Deathwing Companions when they got into combat, does the Force Axe not strike at I1 like a power axe? Next, when attacking the Deathwing Companions, the enemy should be at -1 initiative because of the aegis. So if you are fighting with 2 praetors, your praetor should strike first. It should also make it easier for your Companions to kill the Assault Squad and Terminators. Their drawback is they cannot fight so you get 2 less dudes fighting. Also their weapons are Murderous Strike and Rending. So that means they inflict Instant Death on 6s for Calabinite Swords and 5's on the Terranic Great Sword. Companions are downright NASTY as they also get +1 to hit for being Deathwing too. Not sure but I also believe you cannot put wounds on your Praetor until the Companions are dead as they prevent him from taking wounds until the unit is completely gone - their upside is they prevent your opponent from sniping them out.
The Companions with the Lion get REALLY nasty when another Primarch tries to fight him. They drop their aegis and the Lion should have an edge and strike first. Same with any Praeters they are fighting. Those Knight Cenobium were so cool! I wanted to see them make contact with something though!
Beautiful army Rowan! Very nice painting. Question- at 36:30 the Leviathan fires overwatch at the terminator squad, b ut didn't the Librarian cast the power to deny him Reactions for the turn? Please let me know if I'm missing something.
I’m currently building a Night Lords list and am very new to HH. I can’t find anywhere how these contekar were legally able to take the Spartan as dedicated transport though? Every time I try and build them in my list on BattleScribe the Spartan isn’t listed as available transport. Please can someone clarify this for me?
wow wow wow! Fantastic and amazing game! So tiny and just can't stop laughing from the last turn, total facepalm) p.s. Forget to do defagorate from dred's shooting on last turn)
Also not that it made any difference but Tartaros Praetors only have a 5+ invulnerable because they forgot to give them an Iron Halo so the save just comes from the armour itself, so both a Cataphractii and Artificer Armour Praetor have a 2+/4++ but a Tartaros Praetor has a 2+/5++, which as an EC player who has a beautiful praetor character in Tartaros really sucks.
@@SNBattleReports Force axe is unwieldly, raptors are initiative 4 except when charging, spartan outnumbers dreadnoughts, tartaros praetor has a +5 invul.
@@SNBattleReports At 1:23:32 Dark Angels fail four saves in CC with their Companion Squad but only take three wounds off of the unit. Not sure why you discarded the wound that was already on the squad -? The extra wound would have had a profound effect on the remainder of the game as it was in the all-important fight around both warlords.
A question please: how can the Night Lords cause fear to an opponent that "knows no fear"? It appears to me that the Night Lords would be best fighting against everyone else besides the Astartes. Beautiful armies gents, and a great battle report. 👍
@@SNBattleReports Why not both? :) It's same as 7th edition 40k - Loyalists are insane, Chaos is ... well... for playing "story" part of a game where they are getting their back kicked :) Anyway, I love your reports SN, waiting for more! :)
Dark angels paraetor wargear is not legit. Boarding shield forbids using of two-handed melee weapon in assault phase such as terranic greatsword. Next time try paragon blade - AP always 2, 6+ murderous strike and not two-handed. Cost 5 more pts then terranic greatsword.
@@SNBattleReports boarding shield for praetor give only one benefit - it gives the model heavy subtype, so unit, for example, if he joins cataphractii terminators they don't lose their armour save rerolls against template and blast weapons.
One of the few things I actually hated watching on this match was my night lords being played by someone who lays the dice down ever so gently lick a princess instead of rolling them dice like a man with a strong army and determination!! Why roll like the dice would brake???
