The 8th Edition Hype Train keeps on chugging along! In keeping with this (and my desire to play a bunch of games to get the rules down) we have another FULL Glacial Geek 8th Edition Battle for you today! https://youtu.be/gfdhF6xlqBE This time my Dark Angels and Assassins take on the Necrons! When the Necron Tombworld awoke, the planet's fate had been sealed. The only survivors would be those who managed to escape off world before the Tide of Living Metal overran them. A line was drawn in the sand, beyond which the Necron forces would not be allowed to cross ... For as long as possible. The valiant forces of the Dark Angels, with the help of some Assassins, would be the best hope for the people of this planet to escape. Will the combined Imperial Forces be enough to stall the Necrons long enough to allow the citizens to escape, or will the tide of Living Metal prove too much for the Unforgiven to hold off? Watch and find out!

Awesome report! It's cool to see some different types of games. I've got a friend with Orks that would fit the attackers in this mission perfectly, so maybe he and I will have to give it a try. One thing I did notice a few times in the early turns: You forgot to roll to hit with some of your multi-shot weapons (like the plasma cannons). You went straight from number of shots to rolling to wound. Of course, right now everyone gets a pass because new edition and new rules, etc.

I like seeing different kinds of lists in these first few 8th edition reports. I'm still brainstorming for a tournament in a couple of weeks, so watching these games is helping me figure out what works and what doesn't.

Thank you :-D ... Yeah the Narrative Missions are fun! They really add another level to games :-) ... And yeah, I messed up the multishot weapons ... Don't even know why!
