Hi Everyone, I'm Lawrie the Catachan player this Battle report against Luke Barkers amazing Necrons. Firstly a massive thank you to Luke for the battles we fought, some great gaming on an amazing board. It has been pointed out in the comments section that I fielded the "Emperor's Fist" Leman Russ formation wrongly. I do apologise if this is the case, does anyone else run this formation that could clarify this? It does not help that in the picture of the formation in the Mont'ka rule book they also only have three Russ's. So if anyone could clarify this that would be massively appreciated. I'm sorry again if this frustrated people the list will be amended.

On a side note I don't think that formation the guard player used was legal. The formation says you need 3 *squads* of tanks and a tank commander (which requires being in a squad of at least one other leman russ). This means you'd need at least 4 leman russes - which couldn't be run as a single squad.

+Zak Tasevski that's true, but I think a few of his weapon choices within his squads were kind of silly. I enjoy playing narrative games with my friends and bringing some sub-par units, but in this case most of his army is sub-par and those necrons are at Avery competitive tournament level. The bat-rep almost wasn't worth watching (for me) because there was NO way those catachans were going to even dent that necron army. All that said, he did surprisingly well for a couple turns before the necrons gained momentum.

Your overlord cannot take both artefacts of the aeons. On page 65 of the codex it states a "a model may take ONE of the following". This means you have to drop either the Gauntlet of the Conflagrator or Voidreaper. This will save you 30 points which just happens to be exactly the number of points to add whip coils to all the wraiths. This is a must for your force since it makes the wraiths have initiative 5 during the fight sub-phase which is a big deal. Given you have invested so many points of your force into the wraiths whip coils will improve their effectiveness especially against tougher targets. This change both makes your army battle legal and much better yet still using the same models and keeping the theme going.

Another smashing BatRep Mr Barker! I love Imperial Guard Armies. The Table was staggering! Seriously I watch a few channels miniwargaming do good too, but you are head and shoulders above the rest. Really well done 👍. I do have a wee rant about the relative power of the the armies here. I'm sure you know yourself, what with your brothers amazing IG army. I just feel something needs to be done to save the Guard. This was relatively competitive because the Ogryns did so well but in real terms it was woefully one sided. I feel the guard should have better rules and stronger weapons. For example. The Tau have the support fire from adjacent units when charged. This should be a Guard rule as they NEVER survive close combat. The AdMech doctrines to increase BS while sacrificing WS and vice versa. This should be a guard rule too.. This list goes on. Even beefing up their weapons. That nova cannon should be D-strength! Those Reanimation protocols add 25% to a necron army. And so on....

There was only one Wraith left, and I think you threw 6 dice...resulting in the kiling of an Ogryn. This maybe could have changed a bit the end result

Where is the Leman Russ formation listed? Only one I can see is TC + wingman, and 3 squadrons of Russ + Enginseer.

cat-a-chan is correct pronunciation. this guard list did not make the most of the command swuads giving orders. surely that is what box casters are for. bring him down, fire on my target, etc could also have done with a unit of conscripts under a commissar to do-or-die charge across the bridge. the ability to hold back the tide of necrons' by tying up front ranks in a melee attrition would have helped bunch up the necrons' ready for blast and ordnance attacks. super terrain, love the gloss river effect. just missing a rope bridge or fallen tree log to dash infantry across.

Amazing looking table, with great armies. It was good to see the catachans fighting in the jungle. Too bad, that the IG army didn't have a chance. It was cleare form the begining that they couldn't beat the necron army. Still luck was on their side, but it wasn't enough. My main problem with the list that I can't see a concept. It wasa fluf list, and I like fluf lists, but they can be also effective. A few tips for Lawrie Turner: Don't put sponsons on a vanqusher tank. It's has long range anti-tank weapons, heavy bolters best against infantry. Multi-meltas could work, but they are not effective at long range. Also keep this kind of tank in the back, it can shoot across the table. Also consider the carapace armour for veterans. For me it paid off most of the times. The veteran squad with the flamers would be better, if you would buy the demolition doctrine for them. I haven't tried this combination yet, but I see potential in it. I'm not sure about the ogryns/bullgryns, they hold them well in this game. Maybe you should concider one six man squad, instead of 2 three man squads. Scorpion, are you still planning to start a guard army?

thanks for all the feedback. I'd start a IG army if GW did plastic Desert Raiders:)...or Valhallans!

I also feel it would behoove the Catachans, and be superior from a strategic standpoint to keep the Russ squadron firing from the tree line, utilizing what cover and concealment is available.

i think the catachan player made a mistake when choosing the emperor's fist armoured company. the rules (page 43 of the mont 'ka rule book) says the formation needs; 1 tank commander 3 leman russ squadrons 1-3 enginseers This means that at minium he needs 5 leman russ and 1 enginseer, 3 for 3 one tank squadrons and since the tank commander is his own unit (page 92 of the imperial guard codex "tank command must take a leman russ" and "tank commander must include 1-2 other leman russes") he needs at least 2. If i'm not understanding the rules right would you let me know what pages or FAQs i'm missing but i think that the minimum cost for two russes being 240 pts it could have an effect on a game with 1850 pts. If you agreed to this before hand would you please mention it in the video please. at any rate, great video keep it up.

On turn 3 with the Ogryns they wouldn't have failed their leadership. Because you count up the wounds caused in all combats and the Catachans caused two wounds on your other group of wraiths so they would have won combat.

Also given the interceptor - should one of the units not be deployed on turn 2 of the necrons as the flyer was taken out? or does interceptor only take effect in the shooting phase rather than the movement?
@ASleath

I'm assuming the one that was shot down was the one that was carrying Tamun'Ra and the Lychgard, who had already been deployed in the movement phase. Either that or the crash and burn killed all the Immortals and they just didn't mention it.

for the montka formation for the Catachans, sorry to say but it is wrongly set up. The tank Commander consists of 2 leman russ. Plus you need 3 squadrons of Leman Russ (it can be squadrons of 1 tank each ) so as a minimum you need 5 tanks...

Is it just me or is that bridge exactly the same one as in Call of Duty 1 (or maybe Call of Duty 2)? i remember it very well...the bridge specifically rather than the jungle, as in the campaign it was just after the invasion of Normandy.

It is exactly the bridge for a real ww2 battle. I think it was a German held bridge in Normandy and gliders with SAS had to take control of it during operation market garden

+Oliver Brooks it is Pegasus Bridge, liberated by glider attack during D-day but it was the parachute regiment that took it hence it being named Pegasus bridge in honour of their regimental badge. My grandpa was the officer in charge of the engineers accompanying them who had to disarm the German explosives planted to destroy the bridge so it made me smile when I saw it.

Harker's unit stands in the back and shoots with everything they have. three special weapons and a heavy weapon, from cover, with camo cloaks. to use them any other way is a waste.
