    Lovely game, keep them coming please. The game system is rough in places, but the tables are spectacular and there's carnage and that's most important!
    +1 that smaller battles play better. After a certain size it just becomes more of the same.

      @Tabletop_Standard  9 месяцев назад +3

      I agree. I've been looking at Armageddon armies we've used in some of our older reps and armies in my old space marine battles book. 3k seems a bit much for a casual game

    Awesome batrep!
    I've found that 2000p for infantry/tanks/flyers and then however many points you want to agree on titans is the sweet spot for me. If you spend much more on regular troops it just bogs the game down a bit too much... and when each player only has 1 titan, it kinda tends to be the player who takes the others titan out first who wins. More titan points makes a more interesting game imo. I've done 4000p with 2000p titans a few times now and that feels pretty good to me.

    • @Tabletop_Standard

    Great report guys, it would be interesting to see the TraitorMil bring a pair of Reavers or more Air Support to counter the Warlord and Astarte Numbers.
    But i agree that LI normally rewards aggression in players. But i think the Astarte had the advantage in mobility and CAF that the TraitorMil would gave always struggled with anyway. Now we're getting Artillery it gives Aux based armies another tool to counter astarte mobility

      God engines are acting like God engines should. Warhounds are good, reavers are pretty dominant, warlords live upto the name and warmasters are tge stuff of nightmares. But all can't win a game without support. In the game vs the warmaster i won on objectives and wiped out his other units. All of which im happy about. I'd make knights the same wounds as Baneblades and kratos, so all have three.

    Love the battle report. Quick, clear and entertaining.
    I love the look of the baneblades I have 4.
    Unfortunately I will not field them. I find that there weapons are too varied to get the most of them.
    Wildly different ranges and preferred targets for the 6 (?) different weapon types in means they can never really fire effectively.
    The two wounds for a hundred point tank? I found that mine died about as fast as yours. If it was 3 wounds I would take em.
    Baneblades look cool but you’re better off getting more Russ’s. The Great Slaughter has rules for a very interesting variant whose name I can’t recall. 105 pts for 4 lascannons, 2 battle cannons and two shred main gun shots? Still only two wounds but it’s weapon load out is a lot more focused and has more shots

    • @Tabletop_Standard

    Thank you for doing the 3k report, good to get a sense of what the “optimum” game should look like.
    Given that you have now played 6-7 games, and you’ve had a chance to reflect on this game, what are your thoughts on the game system? I’m still struggling to get really excited for the game, but looking forward to seeing it played in the flesh at an event in the next 3 weeks.
    Just feels like a lot of models get removed before they’ve had even a chance of shooting. This could be down to good tactics on Steve’s part, or it could just mean that the overall mechanic just causes this. It’s possible you guys had a lot of fun playing however which offsets the fact that it was a very one sided game? Would love to get your thoughts.
    Many thanks

    • @Tabletop_Standard
      @Tabletop_Standard  9 месяцев назад +3

      It's still too early to call especially at 3k. But yeah it does feel like they have created a game with so many units that things are designed to die easily. You didnt need armies this big to have great games of Armageddon. My gut at this point is 1500 to 2k is a good place. My biggest concern is the missions which involve just throwing as much stuff where the objectives are and using the rest of the battlefeild is pointless. time will tell.

      @bgoldingay 9 месяцев назад

      Completely agree with requiring more LoS blocking terrain. Legions can quickly become a one sided blood bath with too many open lanes.
      Definitely a game better suited to city fighting.
      That being said, the table and models looked great, really enjoyed the watch.

    • @bakuchidancer
      @bakuchidancer 9 месяцев назад

      Eh. I would arque it works better as non-cityfight. You said firelanes. Well roads essential part of cityfight(no city is without roads). It's hard to avoid firelanes over roads.
      Nature? Big roadformations block los. Forest blocks los if you play by the book. And in nature you don't need to do straight roads :)
      Slap multiple forests across board and you have good los blocking. Even warlord titan can hide behind forest unlike most intact buildings.
      Rural is godbless for screwing long open firelanes.
      There's reason turn 1 casualties tend to be low in my games :)

    @carloconner-hill2469 9 месяцев назад

    I believe you are assigning combats incorrectly, for example at @40:00, fights are paired and assigned at the start of combat, you mention multiple times that the last guy will have to fight twice, then he dies in the first fight he does, the last Sol Aux Ogryn now does not fight because what he was 2 vs 1 is dead, you do not just find him a new opponent to fight even though in a building everything is considered engaged.

    Nice table and armies , some rules i think you did wrong, you remember that flyers can only use one save? Armor save OR jink not both. I see a mixed formation of land raider and Rhino which transport some tactical and the commander i think you cannot merge the transport because they are two different detachment but don t have the same rule of the marine Commander, so i don t think you can purchase for them both land raider and Rhino i think you can buy one transport detachment and put all the infantry inside, so all Rhino or all land Raider. But Maybe i forgot something that allow it . Another question, how did you use the Area terrain like the woods? You remember they completely block Los? Give -1 to hit and give 5+ cover to stuff inside?

    Great batrep guys. I'm super hyped for this game, but I get so dismayed when I see the super-heavies like the Baneblades just get ripped up in a round of shooting. Feels like 2 wounds even with a 2+ save is vulnerable, and sadly makes the game feel like a crapshoot at times. It feels bad because I am sure GW wanted to have a high model count game to sell more things and so "balanced" the speed of the game by just making everything super killable. Wish everything had more wounds and there wasn't so much high AP stuff.

    Great effort, good to see you game as always. Spectacular armies and table. Enjoyable commentary and great presentation.
    That being said, this is perhaps the first batrep on this channel I’ve seen that didn’t really make me keen to play the game on display myself… I realise the 5x4 table and refused flank didn’t help, but the tank carpark is unattractive in any game. It seemed like a dice-rolling meatgrinder without any flow to the battle, just pushing more units forward or pulling them back without any proper opportunity to maneuver.
    This game at 3k looks… Ugly. Sorry for the negativity, I must admit I’m getting more and more dubious about their claim that the game is balanced for 3k points.
    Again, great video, superb production by you guys, thanks a bundle. Would REALLY like to see even an early days compare and contrast vid by you of the LIMP vs Epic Armageddon 30k rules, as you’ve now been exposed to both.

    • @Tabletop_Standard
      @Tabletop_Standard  9 месяцев назад +2

      Exactly the kind of comment I was expecting thanks. I wasn't sure whether to make the vid but at the end of the day I'm not promoting GW so made it I did.
      Yeah I agree 3k felt clumsy and a bit long to be honest. The armies are huge! And I am very slowly making a Legions vs Armageddon video (very slowly) so I'll go into more detail when it finally drops.
      I personally think 1500 to 2000 on a 5x4 or 6x4 will feel much better. I am not sold on the missions like you say it's just a throw stuff forward roll dice and the most shit that sticks wins.
      It's still early days so more testing required. Making reps is as much about the rough with the smooth.

Opponent then will not only have to get units between him and objective killed but also get to objective which is hard because the objective is now behind units you can't go over. It's similar scenario to 40k servo skull but there you are moving objective FORWARD ie toward the enemy. So you might be scoring points but enemy has easier time to get objective back...

    If it's of consolidiation to loser can't have been perfect 100 point game :D For one the maximum for the scenario is 90(5 times 3 objectives each 5 pts=5*15=75 pts and 15 for secondary). Also RG had only 10 pts from turn 1 so maximum 85 :) (no 10 pts painted army rule like 40k luckily)

      It was really more the fact Steve had scored across the board on all missions and I'd scored a big fat 0

      Knights and warhound can't be deployed alone in front of a Belicosa volcano cannon.. Was 700 lost points for nothing.
      Knights should cost 33% less in my opinion. I never see a knight inflicts more damage than he proper cost.

      It's a God-Engine mate, you need a plan or another one to take them on.
