Howdo all,

So sorry its been so long. Weve been rather lazy on the blog and youtube thing but as summer is fast approaching we are getting back into the swing of all things 40k.

Today, we have a very fun and exciting batrep to share, admech and blood angels vs the new marines with the much feared skyhammer formation. So without further adieu, please enjoy. ( and if you do enjoy, feel free to subscribe!)

Can anyone explain how the skitari player got 500pts free?

Its a white dwarf exclusive formation.

If you google adeptus mechanicus war congregation, youll be sure to find a picture

Its a formation called War Convocation. Play a skitarri detachment, a cult mech detachment, and a knight and your upgrades are all free.

Thats the one, i really struggle to keep up with all the admech formation names, lol!

Great report as always. Love that you guys always bring beatstick lists, keep up the good work.

Wait is the Skitarii Battle Maniple the detachment or the formation from the codex?

I assumed it was the formation (meaning your list is illegal, as you have too many rangers and not enough vanguard).

Oops. I am a liar. He had it right in the video - just the writing at the beginning was wrong! sorry!

At turn 4 and 5 the Ad Mech player claimed his warlord trait gives him the best canticle for his army. I believe that is best canticle for him and his unit.

Also kataphrons don't have feel no pain, sounded like he thought they did.

Still really enjoyed the batrep though. Nice to see 20ish minute vid batreps, so tired of 3 hour marathon ones.

Yeah I goofed there on the warlord trait but in retrospect , despite how bigger deal we made that out to be, it didn't make the difference as the two most impactful canticles were used T1 and 2 and by ad mech turn 2 the only units left on the board were bs4. The Breachers did have FNP due to the sang priest.

Thanks for watching :]

imperium!!!

You guys should replay that game, but instead of the biker deathstar, drop the points and use the skyhammer with full squads. Break each devastator squad into 5 mans, even the regular bolters cause something to GtG. And if you think its overkill you can split the gravs. And with combat squads, that is 4 assault squads to tie up anything turn one, and 4 devastator squads to kill/force LD. I guarantee that game would have gone differently then.

It was an awesome report. I'd love to see a rematch soon.

Here are some ideas to improve your batreps. This was presented as two top lists going head to head but it fell flat quickly. I like reports that come down to the last turn. Nothing more boring than something flukey occurs early on and one army surges far ahead. In this case both assault squads mishapping was huge. I would have simply restarted the game. Also maybe let SM choose to go first or second. Finally the lighting was horrid on the SM side of the table - open the drapes for goodness sake.
