Good game, had some pretty awesome moments, especially where friendly fire is concerned . We're still doin highlander format, we'll likely have a couple more highlander batreps posted as we close in on our highlander tournament in mid december.

Highlander seems to go pretty easy on guard, but it's nice to see a varied list without a billiion wyverns/vendettas/manticores . Pask did ok, I feel like he's a bit expensive but he put out a lot of shots, as is his job. He also stood up pretty well to an assault by my daemon prince. My mutilator still keeps on impressing me, the little dude is like a small, slower dreadnought that can deep strike. Lutnit's outflank was text book and easily took me off an objective, outflank is always nice. We both had master of ambush for our warlord trait, which made deployment quite fun, lutnit's a genius, he took 3 ratlngs as a throwaway to counter my infiltrators and it worked really really well.

Does the number of skilltides used equal the amount of skill possessed or is it an inverse correlation

Skilltide is offensive, thrilltide is a perfectly good substitute

That Manticore shot. At least the DP failed its 2+, or it would have been a complete disaster.

The thing I find with the mutilator, is that an obliterator would do the same job, only so much better. I guess with the mutilator is not such a high priority target and with your Highlander format you can't just spam obliterators.

Nice battlereport though. They are so much nicer to watch when both sides are fully painted to a good tabletop standard.

I stopped playing now for the past several months. However, when I was playing 6th and 7th edition, a 1500 point Highlander format was, by far, my favorite format. Games were much tighter and I got to use and face off against things I didn't get to see much. Very fun games. Thanks for sharing and hope you all enjoy the format as much as I did.

I've noted this in your past video battle reports, but I really enjoy the way you all handle terrain. With the definitive lack of rules for terrain in 7th, I think your method makes for a more enjoyable experience.

Thanks for sharing.

Wait LUTNIT is Asian?

Another great batrep guys. Love those counts as chaos spawn conversions! Can't believe I missed the p&m thread.

Yeah basically it owes its success to infiltrating and then being mostly ignored for juicier targets.

Thanks mang, we do our best to play painted only.

I really like it, we're doin it a bit different, no allies or anything but you can take a duplicate troop without taking one of everything, makes it a bit easier on some armies. But ya, totally agree it's my favourite flavour of 40k yet.

Terrain is almost a culture thing, it's weird. I just find the game is much better tactically when you play with less abstraction in terms of path. More things being impassable really helps, Terrain rules are one of the biggest factors to enjoyment of the game and they've been brushed under the rug since 5th ed, really sad.

Thanks mang, I haven't been having much luck with them, but I chalk that up to them looking so scary that my enemies first though it is "well those just need to die" I guess I need to convert up a count as maulerfiend using some big nid gribbly.

It's because you don't make the appropriate sound effects when using them. You're supposed to laugh "hurhurhurhurhur" when sending them against anything

A okay batrep!

if I was to offer any constructive criticism, try not to shake the camera so much and you shouldn't really proxy a demon prince with a wraithknight if you are making a battle report

It's not a proxy, it's my daemon prince, the entire army is count as, You'd think the 60mm would be an issue for a wraithknight

Highlander works for you guys because you run cool lists. Cool lists and having fun is what 40k should be about.
