This was the battle report that pushed me over the edge into buying my first box of models five years ago. I'm now starting an Ultramarines army that includes three vindicators because of nostalgia. Thank you for the awesome content!

Good report, great terrain, it really adds to the narrative. One thing you might want to be aware of is that each player gets to take their turn before the game ends, you made it sound like the game could end after your turn 5 before the Ultramarine player had their turn 5.

This is the first WH40K battle I've ever watched. Very nice narration. I am surprised most games are not this close. Shouldn't most scenarios be fairly balanced at the start? Finally, why roll to stop the game? Can't you just keep playing until one side achieves all of their objectives or wipes out the other side?

I can only agree with the others - an awesome Report all in all! In my eyes it ended even 7:6 FOR the necrons, since the single scarab contested the objective in the back of the bunker by binding the Marines in CC. On the other hand, this unit might never have existed since you are only allowed to generate new scarabs within 6 inches of the spiders - I'm not sure if they were ;) And also trust your Ghost ark more, they are really deadly

i recently got into warhammer stuff. i only have one model and thats a triarch stalker. it was worth it even if i never play the tabletop game. such a fun build. i have little idea how the tabletop game works but i know that the three biggest differences between the game and tabletop are 1, the tabletop is turn based. were the pc game turn based, i feel it wouldnt be nearly as popular as it is. 2, the tabletop is mostly about luck and less about placement of units where as the pc game's form of battle is in real time, where you dont roll the dice. still, a lot of things come into play to determine what happens but really, if you get your units to the frontlines, the big deal is moral. happy troops can take on a way bigger force than if they were shitting their pants. ofc a single squad of anything cannot take on a monolith no matter how happy they are but they can certainly do damage before they die. unless theres a hero involved. three, the scale of battle in the vanilla game is limited to be close to the number of units that would be in play on the tabletop, but it can be higher, especially with orks as unit cap and tech cap increase as you create more orks. however with a mod i like to use called ua, the scale is as limited as your computer is powerful, and lemme tell ya, its uncommon to have the battlefield swarming with units and not have any lag. fuck, with the unit build time decreased to nothing, requisition maxed the fuck out and the unit cap set to the max the mod allows, the insane ai(especially with tyranids and orks) will have maxed out the unit cap in minutes. and me vs 9 insane ai, the only faction i can play with any hopes to win is necrons since restored monoliths can be built in less than a second, along with the gauss turrets, doomsday monoliths and siege monoliths built after five minutes, nothing stands a chance because the only factions that spam titans early on are the orks and after a while the eldar and dark eldar. sad that no other factions will build titans. on a side note, the biggest titans in terms of size are the bio titans and reavers in game. however, my first time playing on a map called titans fall, the sheer size of these damn emperor titans....

First full report I have watched from beginning to end, I like how you don't show all the dice rolls (I know thats 90%) of the game but I feel that longs the video up to sometimes being 2 hours. I havn't played the game in almost 14 years looking to start up again, can't decide between dark angels or space wolves. I never played in tournaments or exhibitions but it looks really fun. I want to play space marines but from what of people have told me everyone is playing space wolves so I really don't want to play space wolf V space wolf. I used to play Dark angels so those are the two armys I am thinking of playing thoughts?
