Great report. FANTASTIC game! not using beta rules for smite?

We may try them out in one of our next Battle Reports.

Great game and very exciting finish.

Awesome game.

One thing I want to point out, the GK army is Battle-Forged and so all GK Psykers get a +1 to Deny and Manifest Psychic powers. There were a few times the GK would have stopped some of Magnus Psychic test. One of which was the 3++ save. Magnus should have died a combat earlier. But it did not matter as the GK player won anyways.

Your list as written on the website includes an understrength GKSS...which can only be included in an Auxiliary Detachment. So you need to fix that.

Dreads are T7, so the Heldrake wounds on 5s.

Your yellow Dread was the basic guy, which in your list has a SB, but you used a heavy flamer for overwatch. That's just plain cheating!

GK Smite is 12" range instead of the usual 18", so the one GKSS that got the Smite looked to actually be out of range.

GK pure detachments get a +1 cast/deny, as mentioned above, so the Changeling should've died a power earlier.

With the additions to your list (things like guns on the GMDK, the extra body in the understrength unit, the flamer on the Dread), your list is 2144pts. That's very not cool. And that's at the minimum low end, there could've been stuff I missed. I hope you don't play competitively.

I'm tired of bad GK players giving other GK players (like myself) a bad name. About 50% of the people who play GK cheat regularly, and you fall into the bad half. Learn your fracking codex, pay your points, and do a better job.

This was a shitshow, and you guys need to get your rules down before posting videos all over the web.
But at least you had a good time.

I'm sure David (the GK player) was not cheating. He typically runs AdMech, and this was his first GK list in a while. Rules errors you've pointed out will certainly help him build a better list and run his GKs correctly. Your feedback is appreciated Elric.

He came across as a bit shady to me. You should be glad viewers let you know.

I don't think the GK guy knows all his GK rules. He forgot or did not know the GK main rule of adding 1 to manifest and deny psychic powers. As Troth mentioned, the GK player is new to GK. So give the person some leeway and don't attack his character for just simply being new to an army.

Chill out Elric.

This is just a game.

Have fun.

You can not know an army super well but still be shady. I noticed he was rocking adepticon dice.
