GF: Firefight Battle Report - Dark Brothers Vs Alien Hives (330 points) S2E2

Legatos Sector. Mission 2: A change of Direction
Sergeant Elias and his squad of Blood Brothers have escaped an unstable planet in the Legatos Sector. The entire sector has become a dangerous place, ravaged by debris, asteroids, uncontrolled fire and large abandoned spacecrafts.
A brief communication with the command ship just outside the sector has resulted in a new mission for the sergeant. He now has a squad of Dark Brothers under the command of Prime Lieutenant Armando on board.
Sergeant Elias must drop the Dark Brothers off on a large abandoned and uncontrolled spacecraft and their mission is to change the course of the spacecraft. Lieutenant Armando has intelligence showing a large presence of Alien lifeforms on board and he knows that it will most likely be a suicide mission!

Another very cool battle mate 👍.

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Thanks a lot😊

[@Bluecho4]

The use of Terminator models for normal "Brothers" was throwing me off a bit. But a good batrep nonetheless.

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Yes I know it can be a little confusing.. Thanks for watching👍

[@charles1890]

[@edpozo]

Awesome battle report. Liked and subscribed

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Thanks so much👍 Welcome on board😊

[@demonstructie]

Sincere question: at around the 10 minute mark, why does the alien not go down when he takes a wound but immediately after, the brother does go down when he takes a wound?

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

In this case the alien has a tough value of 3 meaning that it can take 3 hits before it goes down and must roll the wound chart.. The brother unfortunately only has 1 tough. Thanks for warning

[@toddcarlson5324]

Great batrep!!

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

😊 Thanks

[@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel]

Love the narrative.

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Thanks.. There are already new “chapters” with Armando and his crew😊👍

[@infosecdefender]

@8:59 shouldn't he be dead? he had 3 wounds from deadly, and you rolled a 3, that's a 6 which is death on the wound chart.

[@odinborrson]

I believe you are knocked out on a result of 5+X, where X is the number from Tough(X). Ravenous Beast has Tough(3), so the target number is 8 to knock out.

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

All the aliens in this battle have a tough value, in this case tough(3) so they need an 8 to be knocked out.. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Musuzima]

"The God Emperor protects" Was there any doubt?

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Lol.. I had my doubts for few seconds.. 😁

[@stephengilbert8166]

Absolutely fantastic game... and what an unexpected win:-)

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Thanks very much.. Yeah, that was a surprise also to me.. :-)

[@todd636]

Another great battle report. Been watching a few of your battle reports. It sure seems that the Brother armies are "overly" tough. Seems hard to put them down with their save. The other armies seemed squishy. Not bashing on the rules at all. Full disclosure, have yet to play a full game.

[@ulcbattlereports7388]

Especially the Prime Brothers are tough to get down.. But then again, they are very expensive.. So in the end it often evens it out.. Playing quite a few games, my experience is, that its very rarely a predictable result.. Often the opposite, and that is really adding to the overall excitement.. With all that being said - the Brothers are tough! :-) Thanks for watching along..
