I wonder if batreps like this did exist ten years ago, would this game still have disappeared?
Keep up the great work, especially with Throwback Thursday!
+Thomas Richter There were still tones of sites with picture batreps. GW just has a hard on for killing all games that are not 40k.
7 years later we are still here :)
Honestly, this scale makes a lot more sense for the 40k universe than 28mm 40k does. Even at 6mm (ish) scale, the battlefield is still relatively small and cramped for these advanced sci-fi fantasy battles. At 28mm scale, it's cramped and insanely close range to an absolutely absurd degree. It's particularly silly when you have like medium and heavy calibre artillery being involved in combat that takes place in an area where the opposing sides are starting the battle less than 100 metres apart.
I've always thought that this scale makes more sense for 40k battles than the 28mm scale.
I love Thursdays I make sure i have it off work as well as the baby with her mom so i can veg out watch throwback thursdays and build and paint terrain/minis all day ...LOL... Thanks Ash :)
Damn man, gutted that I have only just found your channel. The 2 epic vids are the best epic Bat reps currently on TH-cam, please keep up the great work doing epic, there's a huge community out there still :)
(and seeing the FW thunderhawk made me track one down on eBay for a pretty penny) :-0
cheers,
Ian
More of these please! Fun to watch and very pretty armies! And I concur, more Titans! :)
Two things I noted in the two videos,
suppression only applies to shooting not to units "FF-ing"/supporting in an assault.
Formations failing an initiative test should recieve a blast marker.
cheers!
Those tiny baneblades are so cute!
It does show the one serious weakness of EA: the strategy ratings made it way too predictable who would go first for a lot of matchups.
40k like it should be :D
Ash you hero please do more Epic x
awesome stuff mate .. really like this game. off to ebay lol
Well you can find stuff for quite cheap at least
good to see its not just me rolling one all the time for guard ;)
great game
These models are amazing!
Oh, just noticed. In turn 2 the Tacticals fired from Overwatch and then fired again later in the turn. If a formation fires overwatch shots then it counts as having activated and can't activate again that turn.
Great game Ash. Really keen to find some Epic models out there and play this game.
Question: Did you pick up that dice that flew off the table around 19:24. Looks like it found a nice corner to hide in...
Great video Ash! awesome to see 6mm get some love - and the armies are beautiful. I'm still convinced 2nd edition/netepic definitive 'Epic' however, we'll see if the next report sways me! :)
I can't express how much I love this!
+Hooves of Doom Thanks dude!
Great game, thanks for the upload!
Good use of gothic blast markers.
Would the landraiders have had eight shots? One of them was suppressed by the blast marker.
Any chance we could get Inquisitor for Throwback Thursdays? I know it wasn't the most loved game, but I used to play that a ton.
Late to the party here but Q: if the storms and Valkyries both have scout can’t the valks fly up to 20 away and shoot something while the troopers stay put as valks and storms both have scout?
Amazing stuff, how does the fan/community ruleset compare?
Found this after the announcement of epic horus heresy and really hoping its not as one sided in that, even in the first episode it quickly turns into just a complete slaughter for one side
Great video, I enjoy your stuff. You guys should drink less coffee though. Slow down and actually enjoy the game! :-)
I want to to see that Epic, Epic. 😂 6000 point battle!! I know epic is all about the big battles, but with so 'few' minis seems small.
Guys - please, more games and add your titans!
Where did you get these models?
At Games Workshop when they were on the shelves lol... so probably close to twenty years ago?
Damned, now I will have to stalk Ebay to find some Guard :P
+Jan L Vanguard miniatures will supply you with great proxies for both Steel Legion and DKoK!!
Epic video
Please make more epic 40k content!
cant wait for more!
bad bad dice ,so shoulda spanked him Ash! rematch sometime please....:)
Awesome.
This game makes Titans look bad... gutted by 4 Landraiders in a single shot? Say whaaaaaat?
+Horhe Vamp Unlikely but not impossible.
Well... sure maybe in Epic. Its pretty darn impossible in 40k! AV 14, 2 void shields and 9 Hull points... ergo minimum 11 shots if they were to all hit and penetrate! Sure Epic is not 40k but I think its more fluffy to need that much to bring down such a behemoth!
+Horhe Vamp what you're likely missing here is that one turn of Epic = 6 Turns of 40k. An Engage Order represents an entire six turn 40k game. So a Shooting order represents four land raiders duelling it out at range with a Warhound for six turns as well.
Considering that the Epic titans were the original ones to be given rules
One might argue that the current 40k Titans suffer from power creep and are more durable that is justified
Guerrilla Miniature Games Ah didnt know that. Thanks for the clarification... still... it means that for '6 rounds of shooting' a titan couldnt kill a single Land Raider. So although I can see how throughout an entire game 4 Lands Raiders could take care of a titan (maneuver around him, get him trapped in a crossfire etc) I find it hard to see none of them exploding!
Still, it is a game so I guess it works. Petterwass's point also stands... I guess it also depends on point costs that things had back then vs now...
OMG, some crazy dice rolls.. :)
Good bat rep as always but noticed a lot of rules mistakes 😊
Can you buy those miniatures anywhere? These look really cool, much better than those I can see on ebay.
+kamikaziu At this point eBay or Bartertown are likely your best bet!
Errrrrr guard..... Haha brilliant ash!
Very cool! Remember to bring some Hydra's next time, blow those planes out of the sky.
I like both Epic Space marine and Epic 0k/Armageddon.. :)
It's a pity my local GW banned specialist games before I got to play epic. it's pretty cool
Nice!
Please do Warmaster next !
+Miep I'm actually talking about this already. Warmaster is the ONE Specialist game I don't still have a painted army for (though I have several unbuilt and unpainted armies in reserve). Jordan and I are trying to figure out when we can do that as well! I just need free time to show up in my endless painting queue. :)
Poor war hound titan.
Needs more mordheim
+Marrok Wolf It's already plenty of Mordheim. It's like half the videos of Throwback Thursday.
BLASPHEME!!! there can never be enough Mordheim
why do are all these guys really nerdy but think their cool lol
Let's just examine that sentence for a minute.
