Love Salamanders. Unfortunately there is a missed rule at the beginning of round two. Adrax Agatone halves the OC of enemy units he is in combat with. This means the Infernus Squad of Adrax would have easily outclassed the Sisters on the middle objective during the top half of Round 2, and stopped Tak from terraforming it.
Let's give them some grace. Warhammer is hard enough to remember the rules for when you play only one army and are not also trying to be an entertainer. Good game guys, and thanks op for letting us know about the agrax rule! That's a good one to know when I see salamanders.
We did miss that rule. While we do want to give you a good show, we also recognize we won't be perfect. I wish we had more time to play reps with all the factions, chapters, and datasheets we use but alas we don't get to play as much as we would like to. Luckily, the outcome remained in favour of the army who's rule we missed. We won't be perfect, but we will endeavour to learn from every mistake.
We do want to give you as interesting and well played a game as possible and Steve is much more comfortable, experienced, and knowledgeable with Gladius. He does have to drive an hour to the studio and we had limited time to shoot this one so we wanted Steve to have fun, with rules he is familiar with, and play his best game. If the stars aligned a bit differently we would have loved to have played Firestorm but to make this one work, Steve went with Gladius.
@@timneji There just isnt anything fun about certain chapters detachments no matter how thematic. IF users and RG know this best. Heck even WS this time around since they have literally 2 mounted options in ALL of codex SM its why stormlance might aswell be a ravenwing or space wolf detachment.
Funnily enough this battle is very likely to happen in the lore. In the last Salamanders 40k novel, the SoB are fighting alongside the Salamanders, but they view them as mutants due to their skin color and eye color. They actively undermine the Salamanders, and try to get them killed. So this is very cool to see these two fighting each other on the tabletop.
Tak shouldn't have controlled the center objective after turn 2. One of Adrax ability halves the OC of any unit he's engaged with. And since a sister died Tak would have only have 4 oc on it. As opposed to something like 7 oc from the infernus squad
Man I was SO much more excited before I heard Steve wasn't playing Firestorm, huge missed opportunity to give it some love and show a true mirror match.
Totally not biased because they’re my faction of choice, Salamander green just looks so good on a tabletop. Great showing from both players, that last turn had me on the edge of my seat.
I really enjoyed this battle report! Currently there are a lot of Sisters vs GSC reports and the Sisters stomp the Cult in pretty much every single one of them because it's "army that kills infantry really well" vs "army that brings only infantry". So seeing the Sisters taking on a foe that acutally has a good armour save puts things much more into perspective! People were already crying that Sisters need to be nerfed and that they are too strong. And while I agree that the Codex gave them a good power boost I don't think they are too strong. Flamers are still not that great vs good armour saves (even though that dev wounds stratagem is ace!) and the army still dies pretty quickly since everything is on a T3 body. Great video, looking forward to more Sororitas content!
What a missed opportunity to play Firestorm detachment with the Salamanders. I think the Salamanders lucked out big time! A lot of missed opportunities to overwatch with those Infernus Marines and poor use of the Land Raider.
I honestly think the Salamanders player was just being nice because Salamanders vs Sisters is a complete and total mismatch that should never be allowed. If his list was in any way meta, the Sister's player would'nt have even scored 40 points.
Fun Fact. Steve got in his car. Drove 30-minutes (halfway to the studio) and took a side glance at his tray and realized he forgot a dreadnought. He arrived at the studio to then run around looking for anything green to use.
9:32 Isn't new mission pack allow you to redraw new objective if its isn't doable in turn 1? At least that what I heard. You can even use cp for new mission multiple time in a game in this edition too.
That was an Incredible game from both players! Wooooooieeee! Centurions have a special place in my heart and they were a joy to see today! Thank you PlayOn for the continued content that delivers week after bloody, fire strewn week
Cmon guys there is only like 5 Battlereports of Salamanders Firestorm detachment on YT and you choose to play Gladius..... makes me soo sad..... soooooooo sad
Please understand that Steve is just more comfortable with Gladius and the rules and stratagems of that detachment. We had a limited window to film this one and felt Steve should play what he wanted. It would have been fun to do the two "flame" based detachments for sure but not at the expense of Steve being uncomfortable with the rules.
Loving the Combat Cards icons for each unit - not only is it a clever way to support the channel, but it's such a cohesive fit with this channel's core genius - immense clarity with what we're looking at at any time.
I'm an Adeptus Sororitas player, but my color scheme is closest to the Salamanders. I even gave them the name Her Pious Servants of Ardent Blue Flame Wyvern. Totally excited to see this march!!!
I'm really enjoying these games. And how you're announcing them like a football game makes it all the better. Thank you guys for making these battle reports.
40k in 40min channel I have loved all your videos and I have learned most of playing Warhammer from them thank you for getting in debt for a 3000 point ultramarine army
As I am as bummed out as everyone else here that those Marines went with Gladius instead of Firestorm, i cannot understand the reasoning that Gladius is better. Especially with this list i think the powerlevel could have been much higher. Not giving those Infernus Dudes S6, and the potential for Devastating wounds screams heresy at me. You cannot tell me either that Steve feels more comfy with Gladius as he is more experienced with it. That dude just went 4-1 with imperial fists and is experienced and versatile enough a player to adapt to Firestorm on the fly. Or his name shall not be Space Marines Steve henceforth! So sadly, no likey.
Sorry to ask, but why Gladius with the Sallies instead of Firestorm Assault? Wouldn't it be kinda fun to see the same detachment rule for both forces to determine which one implements it best?
Another comment mentions Gladius is what Steve is most comfortable with, so I believe that's probably the one he's played the most and doesn't know a lot about the Firestorm Assault force.
Steve is much more familiar with and experienced with Gladius and we wanted him to feel comfortable and feel like he could play his best. We had limited time to shoot this one. It would have been a lot of fun to have two flamer based detachments at each other but we do think it is best to let the players do what they are comfortable doing.
@@PlayOnTabletop Thanks a lot for answering, it makes perfect sense! Also, the match was awesome and both Steve and Tak played excellently, once again thank you for giving us such great battle reports!!
Im loving Tak on the Adepta Sororitas. One of my favorite factions and its great seeing them on the channel lately. I hope Tak is enjoying playing them as much as I am enjoying watching them be played.
besides the obvious wasted Firestorm opportunity... where did all the points go for the Salamanders? seems like the Sisters had so many more tanks and units. i guess aggressors, centurions and termies will do that
This is my first time watching a warhammer game, and i literally just chose salamanders as my chapter today based solely off the lore, and now im even more excited to build my salamander army!
at 38:04, I thought you couldn't see past ruins if no one is in the footprint. Im still learning but I thought I had that rule hammered down. What am I missing?
Alright, I have to ask cause I’ve been searching for so long, what is the name of the last song to play in the vid during bottom of turn 5. It’s a great sound track and I need to know where it comes from.
This is such a great time for a fan of Sisters. We got a pretty good book and everyone is playing Sisters for bat reports. Usually Sisters in games seem to be few and far between.
i love Steve because even when a whole terminators squad dies for no reason that's still going really good for him ps: no shade thrown at tak, he played very well
can someone explain how the battle sisters had a 2+ save @17:30? They have a base 3+ save and they negated each other's ap. Which means they should have been a 3+ save.
What a game!!!! So pumped for Steve and his win!! Ive been watching a lot of vattle reports with Steve in 10th. Its been a good way to learn strategy and list building for my marine army as well!
Awesome match but I really want to comment on Tak's awesome looking sisters: I love the red & gold color scheme with a gold that has that tarnishy tint. Can anyone tell me what gold Tak uses? I almost went with that color scheme for my sisters (settled on lilac and mint green instead) but I still want my Morgen Vaal to have a heavily tarnished battleworn battlesuit and that gold would be perfect to shine through a heavy oil wash.
I know a portion of the sisters army is on loan from Matthew Beavis of Grot Guard fame. I think the studio models were probably done to mesh well with Beavis’s models

This means the Infernus Squad of Adrax would have easily outclassed the Sisters on the middle objective during the top half of Round 2, and stopped Tak from terraforming it.
It is unfortunate when they dont keep track of the rules from the only unique character on the faction they chose to play.

"Hell yeah what a match up"

It's just unfortunately way better than flamestorm. Even the Iron Hands detachment is better for the Salamanders it's sad

No, sadly we did miss this rule. Sorry about that.
