Tyranids vs Necrons, Warhammer 40k battle report

- In this batrep I unleash my C'tan for the first time...(there's a video in my history about how you can get one)...and try to roll over the Tyranid swarm. James from March Of War is back. He created all the scenery and model bases in this video. You can find March of War on ebay or at...

Pieces of a broken ship…you could put them together or place them apart (massive broken semi circle engine stuck in the ground, ship walls, broken cockpit submerged in the ground, etc). They’d make good walls and interesting elements to existing terrain regardless of what world it crashed on
This, lots of spaceships in this setting so it would make sense some crash to planets or moons and forces are sent to secure them.
Reminds me of the Battle for Maccrage set
Large Terrain ideas:
- "Painsbury's Supa-Mar-Ket, For All Ya Krumpin Needs" -a building based off Sainsburys, Isles, Checkouts and all
- An Artillery Emplacement/Dugout
- A duo of destroyed knights. Having killed each other in battle.
Small "Narrative Terrain"
- "The Generals WarTable" - A table with miniatures on it representing the ongoing battle
- "The Patriarchs Status Chamber", a tube containing a genestealer patriarch.
- Xenotech Caches for Winters Deathwatch to fight over.
- Banners for Raise Banners
- Bombs, so you can plant bombs for secondaries.
- Nephilim/Nachmund/Octarius data you can physically collect.
Great work again chaps!!! Keep it up! Thoroughly enjoying your content for years now sir!
For terrain, more water based stuff - ponds, lakes, or even streams, rivers maybe a canal. I do like the scattering of alloy wheels around the board, are they necron relics?
I would say modular streams and rivers would be awesome just to build on this idea! And also may be make it different colors too for chemical waste rivers
40k doesn’t really have rules for them I suppose, but I’d like to see patches of woods, sand dunes, stuff like that
Def some water feature/toxic river would be so cool
Water based terrain will defo be on the hit list.
You heard him Winters, GET TO WORK, NOT ENOUGH WATER FEATURES ON YOUR BOARDS! AND THEY BETTER BE WET AS FUCK. I want my models dripping... with water. What did you think I was talking about? weirdo.
Snowy terrain is my favourite type of terrain. It would be so cool to see some armies throwdown in the cold
Using Cityfight rules from 3rd would be awesome. They add a lot of depth and allow for full cities instead of just ruins
Got the codex and using it in games! So much fun!
Some kind of large planetary defence battery or turret would be amazing to see! Would also make for a great tabletop centre piece to play a role in narrative games etc
I don't know if it just a house rule I missed earlier or if it was just an honest mistake, but snake eyes and boxcars for psychic powers cause perils unless a specific rule states otherwise. Plusses to cast do nothing to mitigate this since it's based on the physical roll itself.
At 20:24, the idea was that he's deliberately picking 6-3 instead of 6-6 so that he wouldn't perils. The Zoanthropes' +3 to cast means that even the 6-3 roll is enough to supersmite.
Don't know why James ignored the perils at 1:06:38 though.
Organics versus the Machine! I've been waiting for this one!
Big tyranid corpse. Space for marine sized models to take cover within a burst chest cavity.
Eldar/dark eldar terrain, just because we all know that Winters loves Eldar
The problem with DE terrain is don't 99% of them live on Commorragh? And nobody else knows where that place is... Inside a DE ship however? THAT I'd like to see. Terrain for the interior of a large ship from ANY faction really.
Are you telling me, this whole time. I coulda made and sent Winters terrain and he'd use it in Batreps?!?!??!?! I'M ON IT!
For terrain, a Necron-themed set would look great as I don't think I've seen that on your channel. MWG has a themed set that looks pretty great.
Yeah he has had a few in the past it's been awhile don't remember if it was his terrain or not.
Brutal Batrep. Good to see the Monolith in action.
Terrain wise. Aeldari space port for Farseer Winters
Farseer Winters rules,
This is a thing
My crons went up against nids on sunday and that was a brutal but enjoyable game, too! A great batrep and I cant wait to see the next one, now necrons have had a real glow-up
The Necrons look like a field of dandelions, it's a genuinely beautiful paintjob. I'd legit love to see them on a board set up like rolling hills and scrubland.
Terrain wise: An actual building, something that people can actually use, live and work in. Rather than the standard set of ruins and cargo containers.
I agree but then I remember that solid buildings led to the magic box bullshit.
@@thelonespacemarine5211 I don't know what that is. But surely the right combination of key words can address that issue?
@@paulhudson8725 A fully intact building (ie a 4 intact walls a BOX, not 1-3 walls a RUIN) is impossible for vehicles/monsters to enter. The MAGIC comes from ruins that block LoS entirely on the bottom level, making whatever is in them impossible to shift with anything other than melee. So you just put something like jump pack vets inside, wait for something to wonder too close, and BAM. You got Magic Box'd. Intact everyday buildings like apartments and houses can work, they just need open doors, windows, etc.
When the Deathleaper jumped in to "Deploy Teleport Homers" I can't help but imagine him cracking open two or three rattle-cans and spraypainting a Hive tag.
That Ctan is just ridiculous. Fighting them is a nightmare. Faced one with my guard and it pretty much killed most of my army on its own
They're not that bad. As a Necrons player when I use the C'tan it always seems to die without really doing anything directly, its biggest impact is appearing threatening and allowing the rest of my army to score a bunch of points.
Giant Imperator Titan footprint crater!
Excellent report! Good to see two non human factions on the tabletop!
41:04 Dammit Winters i just took a sip of my tea when you said that.
Excited for this game. :-) for terrain the world is a little short on Necron style battlements and multi level ruins. Would love to see some of that.
Amazing batrep !! Thanks so much for these ! James needs to come more often, he seems like a very nice and awesome opponent
Thanks man, it's great fun to film with winters, im there again in 2 or 3 weeks wondering what to take
Great ! :D I won't miss it ! I really dig your old school colour scheme Tyranids, but if you fancy playing some Eldars some time soon it would be amazing !
I love that you get to travel and you do exciting battle reports but I must admit your batters at home are my favorite ones. I feel like I learn the most from them.
Yay, another terrain enthusiast! Nice terrain by the way, love the statues & sandbag line.
Glad you liked it. I love making my hobby my living
I would love to see a proper trench/no man’s land combo.
Sorta stuff inspired by the wall of martyrs where there’s corpses scattered all around in varying states of decay, and absolutely shattered land in the middle with the only cover being scattered craters, some of which have been turned into ponds of mud, blood, and rain. Then some terrain that’s just messes of razor wire and tank traps.
It would unfortunately be super light on line of sight blocking terrain but it would look amazing if done right and probably be chock full of light/heavy/obscuring cover to counteract it.
Dark Eldar terrain. Portals, spikes, gems…dark purple and black “Mordor” style stuff
Another good reason to wake up today! Splendid
There is so little good Tau terrain out there… would love to see more of that especially at a high quality. What does an Imperial City look like once the Tau have taken over?
Absolutely man! Tau Nick from Playon has made some epic stuff - the underwater table 🤯 - but yea you don't see it often.
The thing I just cant find anywhere is terrain the increases the height of a whole area of the battlefield. So we're talking a quarter of the table being higher with access ramps and an elevated surface you can fight on.
I love making vertical boards, but there's always a lot of swearing when moving something on bottom knocks over whatever is on top. I guess that's why GW only pushes verticality in games that use smaller boards like Necromunda/kill team. Maybe something like a elevated highway? Big tanks rolling blasting above while squads sweep a dense ghetto below?
Brilliant terrain, brilliant company. I adree with Winters blasted woods, or maybe a large chaos warp gate. Got all my army on MOW bases cool as ✊
Thanks for your support dude.
James looks like a chill dude
29:30 "You get sucked off?!" - James sounded way too excited about that.
FYI you got Perils of the warp wrong, the modifier is only added to the total of the roll for casting value purposes, however if both the dice say 1's or 6's then its a perils regardless.
Terrain idea! Wrecked vehicles like chimera and leman russ hulks, blasted woods, and a Imperial Bastion type terrain, more emplacement like sandbagged entrenchments and trench networks would be sweet. Could also do a fully space terrain like a space hulk or ship. A basilica or cathedral not fully destroyed could be really fascinating too.
Make a Tank factory table.
Cat walks and loads of russes
It would be cool to see a necron tomb world rising up from a cave, with black monoliths melded with stone
I'd like more Tyranid terrain. I've also always wanted to make board look like the inside of a Hive Ship. Boarding action games with nids as the defenders always seemed like a cool idea to me (especially after I read a short story in an Inferno were that happened with a group of Space Wolves. Also in one of the recent codex (6th/7th/8th) there's a mention of how the Dark Eldar accidentally woke up one of the recent Hive Fleets because they boarded one of the ships thinking it was dead or that they could take some of the smaller nids for the pits only to find out the Hive ship wasn't dead just sleeping.
Also tropical jungle and swampy terrain.
Excellent batrep team and probably the closest we'll come to watching Winters vs. Winters. James should wear a flat cap next time just to complete the feel 😄
If you wanna see a Winters v Winters batrep then go back about two years and have a look for my "lockdown day 1" video, which is about 4 mins long. Hope you like it
C'tan is absolute monster killer, but the hive lord is MVP of this game.
Winters table is the best, just as usual.
Thanks, nice report!
P.s Winters don't skip dice rolles please
Going with the "Ruins" style of wartorn worlds - a true Industrial Site with broken factories, manufacturing lines, broken trucks, rigs and cisterns
Inside of structures of some sort. Buildings, ships and stuff like that.
Wild game. What a crazy bad physic phase for the bugs midgame.
a ruined old pub, once the finest in the sector!. . . The Nids Head? The Astartes' Arms? The Blade and Bolter?
Terrain : ruins/statues that's been "xenosed", example statue of the emperor that's nurgle fungi growing on it, or flayed troopers, or a building that has blood running out the window with skulls stringed up... Or statues that orcs have offered up to gork or mork trying to make them look like their mecks, or again statues painted by the harley quinns to look like jesters. Suppose dark elves and slanesh can be the same lol
Spoilers!
That hive tyrant surving so long was just insane!
Not helped of course of course by winters forgetting to charge him woth the monolith.
Also not spending a CP to to and get his Lord to resurrect :(
Or shooting him with the cryptek in the last necron phase when on one wound
A Ferrace Wheel Where the objective is inside one of the cars but it only rotates a quarter turn each round so you have to wait until round 3 or 4 before it comes around to a point where you can climb a unit on board to claim it.
Mek town from GorkaMorka, otherwise classic Ork terrain from second edition with a forest of cacti and mushrooms.
This guy is lovely, awesome opponent
Terrain idea: A dead titan. You know you want to fight over the corpse of one of the Emperor's greater war machines.
How about making a cathedral or manufactorum with catwalks and various levels to be a vertical production nightmare? ;-) Love the terrain on this channel.
What Sundays are made for! Great batrep! Terrain wise, I think some chaos temple ruins in similar way you have gothic ruins. Think army themed terrain is always nice.
Ive been messing around with some choas bits, they will be on the soon.
@@jamesmarch7824 great news!
some sort of entrance and exit points to an underground structure, like maybe something for necromunda ash wastes?
A literal destroyed Titan that would comprise the terrain of an entire map; pieces of destroyed weapons jutting out of the earth covered in vines) - radioactive terrain around the energy source for the Titan and its huge weapons.
1:03:21 what save does the big momma geet? because against the nightbringer you don't get ANY save.
Please tell me there is a paint tutorial on that nightlord model?
Necrons vs Tyranids; no matter who wins, we all lose. LET THEM FIGHT! James is a great, enthusiastic player.
Imagine if Winters had a real life fireplace, or even better... filmed out by an open campfire. We'd probably summon a life of pure happiness and joy onto the material plane for a short instant before reality came crashing back in like a huge void grenade and left us drained of everything but hate and shame and pain for all eternity.
Also that campfire needs a natural spring gurgling in the background. More water features!
Looking forward to seeing Winter’s Hormagaunt spamming list. I’ve allways thought those little bugs looked cooler than genestealers anyway
Terrain wise how about a nod towards the old imperia cardboard box Imperial firebase kit from back in the day and it's upscaled to fit current bases of units
3D scan Winters Face. Turn him into a statue. You guys have access to a resin printer
fun game, great-looking armys!
Oi winters these statues in the wall are nice terrain. =) Also can we get some eldar on the channel? Im sure you'd be happy to smash some space elves.
I know nothing of war gaming, I'm a voyeur who used to paint space wolves as a 12 year old when they first came out, but make destructible scenery, like when your big boy goes through the door it comes at a cost to surrounding units and cover or can be targeted by the oppo for the same results. It could be set on pegs to be swapped out making the world change as you play.... What do you think?
when we getting a mordian glory rematch i wanna see your nids crush his guard i was genuinely surprised he won
That was such a good game, what an exciting final turn that was
Winters was so close to saying "techno-dance-o-mancer"
A combination terrain/battle mat request. A beach assault where one army is coming up out of the waves.
Most of the 40k terrain is urban, but there are NO vehicles! Are you telling me everybody walks in the 41st millennium? Where are the burned out luxury sedans from escaping planetary governors? The overturned semi-trucks with trailers full of raw materials? The abandoned flat beds trucks (sized to perfectly fit GW type shipping containers)? Work transportation like trains/trams/busses? ROADS?!? WHERE ARE THE BLOODY ROADS?!?
Can anyone provide the tyranid list used here?
Modular terrain idea small pieces that match each other in different shapes like the inside of a space hulk so you could set up the corridors however you wanted
Build us an ork submarine yard, James.
perils is on a natural double 1 or double 6
The sponsor vid was hilarious
good game. Really devastating to both side. I love tempest, however, I am playing with the 6 CP like in the new pack. I love it. The 12 CP is to much especially for command re-rolls. Although we still do the free warlord trait and relic.
squat fortifications like tunnel entrances and exits that look like foxholes
Always fun to watch Xenos V Xenos
a pristine redwood forest that blocks line of sight in interesting ways
How bout river/lake that is being turned into or a part of nurgles garden? Then you can make it difficult terrain that is hard to charge through and gives negative effects for a unit being wholly within it. Like -1 toughness if inside nurgle water.
what sized table do you guys use? im curious because im trying to get one set up myself.
id like to see more bug like terrain , such as building being infested and the like.
@Seowinters: I could be wrong but I dont see you re-roll your 1's when you use your reanimation with your warriors. their number is legion is that still a thing? btw Love your battle reports you are the best mate! cheers
Was this pre-balance i take it?
I just did this same game match up on Friday. Necrons 83-Nids 73 Tempest of War.
A crashed space hulk/ship kind of terrain? Angelis/GorkaMorka kind of thing.
I'd like to see The Fang created for a fight on Fenris when Thousand Sons arrived
Holy cow, what is that nightbringer from
Bridges? Love me some battles on bridges.
Terrain: hyper-urban, multi-level cities. The kinds of buildings you have to clear room-by-room, floor-by-floor.
How about we go away from ruins to a deathworld or forests? Somewhere the Catachan or Tainth would be at home? You could have ruins half consumed by the forest like Mayan pyramids!
Winters fields a Monolith **ah yes, suck jokes coming**
Some necron tombworld terrain would be awesome winters
that fight was a wonderful slug fest.... gg to you both
Don’t know if it’s somthing you can do. But how about a space ship. Like the inside of one of the space ships so you can fight “bording” actions.
Will of course have to take a part or som parts if a ship to not make it enormously big.
Just a couple things:1. Ctan indeed don't get the pregame move nor obsec. 2. The active player goes second in melee now (they changed that in 9e from 8e), so the destroyer lord would have gone second against the tyrant.
Monoliths do not get the Dynastic codes either because of the detachment that prevents lords of war except for knights score 3 lords of war.
47:45 - Zoanthropes re roll 1s near Neurothropes!
Model train terrain please? Something like Snowpiercer?
Yes actually...how about an Ork train?
SHould have looked at his shop before begining my Wardog army. I would have loved to get a crap ton of those bases.
i would like to see broke woods and craters with broken vehicles ( tanks aircrafts 40k style )
:)
Terrain needs to be some cool necron themed tomb world bits
