NSFW!!! Warning, if you don’t like videos with grown men acting immaturely, cursing, talking trash about each other, 40K, Necrons, Matt Ward, Leprechauns, Koni and Barf, DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO!! hahaha, you have been warned!
Oh yeah, and this is a really good example of why the Air Force armies will be king until we get more AA units out there!
Speed Cron FTW!!!!... in the most broken and boring way possible...

Yeah, all the recent reports and my own experiences with Flyers and FMC's has me out of anything but friendly games... possibly for good. I love 6th for my home games, campaign, and narrative battles but it's a mess for competitive play. I just substitute beer for milk and basically play all my games like you guys just did...

Right?! Hahaha, I was dying! I almost barfed myself!
By far the funniest battle report I have ever seen. Most certainly made it more entertaining to watch than just watching the Necron Air Force decimating everything. The only thing I think I could come up with to counter that with my Orks would be to spam battlewagons with grabba klaws but even then im not sure how well that would wok conisdering how fast they can move.

Hahaha, that would have been classic! But we filmed that on the day we're closed, so thankfully that wasn't possible.
@y0disisray
Lootas I think would be your best bet, like 45 of them! Haha. Either that or horde of Orks and just go for the units not in transports and sit on objectives. Not a lot you can do, honestly.
This is why I don't want to run a pure flyer army. It's only fun if there is some challenge to the game. The pure scythe army is just too strong for most opponents that it isn't really fun.
Probably the only "balanced" builds that will give it any problems is a scoring deathstar unit/army in the Relic mission or 220+ ork boyz in an objectives mission. Nothing else can really handle it without a lot of extreme dice involved.
So....uhm. How.. is that necron army legal? You can only put half your units in reserve. Doesn't this apply to fliers as well? Or do they not count for that?
I'm both selfish and rational. I'm scheming, secretive and manipulative; I use knowledge as a tool for personal gain, and in turn obtaining more knowledge. At best, I am mysterious and stealthy; at worst, I am distrustful and opportunistic.
I can't really see the Necron list that fun. Now, if you are trying for the win, then yes. I've gone against 8 flyers... not the most fun game in my life, in actuality made me want to quit 40k. When AA guns come out, I'm sure this flyer list will be put to shame.
Loved the idea behind the bat rep, made me not want to do it
So Reecius are you going to enforce the milk chugging at Duel Con? I'm gonna be thoroughly disappointed if I have to face one of these lists without a milk chugging reprimand.

OMG BEST B-rep evar. I've been playing against the necron air forces since 6th launch as we've had a guy build it even back in 5th cause he liked pictures (self made models but they are pretty close now that he's got the real ones). This essentially shows like my first few games lol.
Only time I've beaten it is when I took space wolves as an ally (I usually play GK or guard) and dumped 2 drop pods on his lord on turn one and shot him off the table. He now takes some bodyguard wraiths to prevent such a thing.
Otherwise, I've yet to beat it. We only play at 1500 so it's not AS many fliers but it's still pretty bad. His is kind of like JY2's cept he hadn't swapped for a destroyer lord and had a barge lord instead.
+ Thought of the day + Not even in death does duty end.
OMG!!?!?!? You like to read Bat Reps and not watch them? How could we have been so stupid!

I just punched myself in the face, we'll call that a down payment on my punishment.
@deathhlydeath & Unholy Martyr
It is unclear actually, how it should be played. For NOVA they ruled that you could indeed start in reserves with the Flyers. But, I believe that by RAW, you can't do it. You have to have a few units on the ground (which we did, you just may have missed them). But like Unholy Martyr said, it certainly seems to be legal at first read.
@Carnage43 & Oswitz
Yeah, it is a great tournament army, but until we get more AA, won't even be much of a challenge to play it. Literally it's:
1.) Move Forward
2.) Roll Dice
3.) Profit
Not much to it. With more AA, it will be an actual game.
@y0disisray
Hahaha, we're considering it! It is just so stupidly overpowering for now.
@Sudojoe
Thanks! Haha, glad you liked it. And yes, I think that we have to have some means of hitting unit on the table right away or be swept away by Flyers.
The army just isn't fun right now as we don't have enough AA. Once we do, it will still be a crazy army, but at least somewhat manageable.
@Great Deceiver
Hahaha, right?! I am sitting here waiting for the genius of the design to reveal itself to me....
Night Scythes and Doom Scythes are just too cheap, particularly Night Scythes. They should be a good 30-50 points more than they are.

You misunderstood my post. I was asking if you could post a written report, not just a link to the video. As in both. You didnt have to be an dick.
Its not like you have to put much effort into it either. A summary of the turns, a few pictures, and your comentary. Bam your done.

This was effing halarious, kudos to those two guys for their bravery (stupidity) lol.
The Scythes are pretty rediculous atm, not gonna lie. I just pray that either more AA gets errataed in or chaos gets released before Feast of Blades.

Not like there was much to the battle
Necrons roll on.
Kill everything.
Bam, you're done.
If there had been an actually battle to report maybe he would have taken the time, but frankly, taking an hour or 2 to type up "Space Wolf player got roll hard, here's how" would have been a waste.

Except all the video was is him taking a video shot after every player term. Just as easy to snap a picture and say a few things about what happened. Granted you wouldn't get the humor of the video.

Just to add a different perspective. Reece and company runs a business for a living. And to run it properly, they need to put out a lot of content. And I mean their own blog, posting in various forums like dakkadakka, BOLS and probably others. This include perhaps 3-6 battle reports and a lot of articles each week as well as checking and responding to those articles periodically.
And to publish a good written battle report, with plenty of pictures, takes time. My more detailed battle reports take from 4-6 hours, while the shorter ones probably take 1.5-3 hrs (though if you don't really care about the quality of the reports, it can take substantially less time than that). With that said, videoreps are probably the most efficient way of publishing battle reports that can produce quality content in minimal time. And when you are running a business, you have to do things as efficiently as possible.
So except for rare occassions, I think you will only see videoreps for the majority of their battle reps. Doing any more will just take up too much time from his ability to produce other articles and such. (Or maybe he's just too hungover to do it ).

Then maybe he could have said that instead of being a dick. Maybe said something like " Hey OBC sorry you didn't enjoy the video report. As you may know i run a business and simply don't have the time to make written reports. Which is why I do video reports because they save me time." It's more professional. Which is something I'd expect someone who runs a business to be, a professional.

I think folks are planning on facing lists like this at NOVA. It has a few weeknesses, and some armies cant even capitalize on them.
Another flying list can choose to go second. When all those fliers show up, your opponent can move on with thier flyers and shoot many of them down.
Land Raider heavy army does not have much to fear. Now the fliers dont really have much to fear either, but 3 Land Raiders parked on Objectives will make it tough to win with this list. If the warriors get out to try glancing the Land Raiders, they risk being destroyed.
Drop Pod heavy armies/ deamons, can drop aggressive, especially if going first. Top of 2, if they kill off the Necrons the game is over.
Just rying to give some hope to folks afraid to face this list.

Land raiders? Against 3 doom scythes? For 4+ turns? I don't think the LR's stand a chance.
What you need is either massed shooting to take them down or enough bodies to weather their shooting.

A good necron player should design his so that he can weather and survive the shooting from his opponent's first turn. That is what will separate a good general running this army compared to a mediocre one.
And btw, even if you do wipe them off the board on the Top of 2, their flyers can still come in on the bottom of the turn. They have to be board wiped at the end of the game turn.
