- Ka'Banda vs Sanguinius? More like Angron vs Mephiston! Blood Angels are back in red, starting down their Chaos mirror the World Eaters. It's Death Company vs Berzerkers, Jump Pack Interecessors vs Exalted Eightbound. Turn 1 charges, multiple Angrons, what more could we want to start off strong in 2025!
On the noble Liberator Assault Force, we have a bit of everything. Not super competitive but very, very cool. Bladeguard Veterans with a Leiutenant, Chaplain with Jump Pack Intercessors, Captain with Jump Pack Intercessors, a VERY angry captain on foot with Rage Fueled Warrior for the sustained hits nonsense with some assault intercessors on foot, Astorath and Lemartes both with Death Company Jump Pack Intercessors. A Brutalis to face off against the Chaos Helbrute and some other various bits and bobs (oh and Mephiston I guess..). a LOT of smacky, for some reason Will think there's 6 men units which there isn't. Let's go spill some Khornate blood!
Angron and a Bloodthirster lead the World Eaters forces today. Berzerkers, a Land Raider, Lord Invocatus with some Exalted Eightbound, some Jackals, Bloodletters and a Helbrute. Not much shooting from either side but a decent melee threat.... Dan's first outing with the Eaters, Dawn of War deployment, the very best of 10th Edition Warhammer 40k.
As always, if you enjoy todays game and want to see more, hit us up with a subscribe here - / @weirdwolfgames . and drop a like and/or a comment if you spot anything we could improve with how we're playing the armies, ideas for how to optimise the Blood Angels list, or just if you enjoyed the 90 minutes of mayhem! See you next week.
43:44 - Great job Dan! Absolutely correct on that Fights First! :)
Though the "wound rolls" that followed against that Bladeguard Veteran squad show why I prefer the Great Axe. One less attack, but D6+2 damage is outstanding, Sure, it's a bit of a 'cherry pick' in this situation (since Bladeguard have 3 wounds each) but they're not alone. There are just so many 3 wound elite infantry out there, that something that does a 3 damage is often a better choice that something that does D6 only - and since the Great Axe is 3 to 8 wounds instead of 1 to 6, it is usually a better choice.
47:44 - While the Bloodthirster and the Bloodletters do have the "Legions Demonica" key words, your World Eaters units do not. But this is about the army faction, which you determine before adding units to your army list during the "Muster your Army" stage of setting up for a game.
Your army rule is determined by your faction key word. So, you could have EITHER the Blessings of Khorne (the 8 dice bonus at the start of the battle round) OR The Shadow of Chaos (which contains the rules for Demonic Manifestations and Demonic Terror). It is one or the other, not both, and is determined when you select your army faction at the start of army selection. You are allowed to add Khorne demons because of the "Demonic Pact" special rule and the fact your army faction is using the "World Eaters" keyword - but note that you can ONLY add Khorne demons to a World Eaters army. No GUO silliness, no "Objective Grabbing" or "Action Monkey" Lone Ops (Masque or Changeling). Just Blood and Skulls!
Demonic allies are a useful addition, but they lose some of their fun tricks during the game.
Speaking of fun tricks, I also think you forgot to use the Bloodthirster's "Relentless Carnage" ability - 8d6 needing a 4+ to do mortal wounds to one enemy unit in combat is not something you want to forget, especially against pesky Bladeguard!
Important Order of Operations on your first turn charge with the Assault Intercessors:
The Hammer of Wrath takes place at the end of the Charge Move (during the charge phase, before the fight phase). This means you do that BEFORE you get a chance to pile in to the enemy at the start of the fight phase.
Since the charge roll was pretty high (a '10') and the Blood Angels looked pretty close to Avacado et al, you would probably have gotten every one of the Assault Intercessors (and Captain) into Engagement Range on the charge move. So, Will should have rolled for all of the Hammer of Wrath in the charge phase. Dan then removes casualties IN THE CHARGE PHASE as the wounds are caused then.
Now, it is the start of the fight phase. Dan has no fights first units to activate in engagement range. So, Will activates his fights first unit (the only one) and makes his pile-in moves up to 3 inches - bringing the rest of the squad BACK into engagement range.
In the end, the entire unit should still have been able to attack the remnants of Avacodo... not that it really mattered in this case. But for the future, with a bigger and tougher target, it could matter - or if Dan had rolled better [c'mon Dan, Khorne cares not, but the thick skulls of Intercessor Marines are great for propping up the corner of the Skull Throne].
Roll 8 dice for blessings 🙏
So nice with all the bangels content! Love watching my army play 🎉 also you are very fun to watch, and I'm learning something new in every video ☺️
Thanks so much!
FYI Captain gets the strategem at minus 1 cp once per battle round. You had him use lance in the top of turn 1 and then armour of contempt in the botom of turn 1
Ah my bad, just misremembering what battle round meant in the moment!
Yay! Red.on Red Carnage! GO RED ANGEL(S?)
WHICH ONES THOUGH PHIL?!?
@WeirdWolfGames Ahh, you know as well as I it does not matter! Either way, it will be a wonderful spectacle.
Though the demon main in me hopes the scant few demons on the table pile the most skulls. A tall order, and I doubt it will happen, but something to cheer for regardless.
Just for the JPI you only get one Sergeant with a power fist not two in the 10 man brick :)
Ahh that’s a shame! Thanks for the correction, I think 5 man units are the way to go
@@WeirdWolfGames Love the Blood Angels content though, it's my main army.
@tomtaylor3448 I love playing them at the moment! Had some reinforcements arrive so we should have some new bits on the board soon.
I am confused why the JPI being lead by Captain had to take a test at the top of 2. They are above half health so no check was needed.
Just watched back through and the only thing I can think of is that I couldn't see one of the JPI's behind the smoke! Apologies for that.
@@WeirdWolfGames No apologies needed, I think from watching the game play footage it was that the JPI unit battle shocked itself in the fight phase of bottom turn 1
@jasontrump9595 ohhh that’ll be it! I’m not blind just forgetful!
Watching this while I magnetise some of my flesh Tearers
Would love to see them! Hit us up on insta once they’re painted up?
hmm i dont think invocatus can give scouts to helbrute because its only for infantry! but alls good BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD
Just to let you guys know you can’t use two captain abilities in the same round as it restricts you to 1 per turn so if you ever are running a Captain best to keep them to 1 unless the abilities really appeal to you, also why did you reroll the wound roll? DC don’t reroll wound rolls and I’m sure there’s no strat in LAG that gives you that either
Thanks fella, correct on both counts! Haven't had enough reps with the red lads yet but should be catching these next time.
@ no problem 👍🏽
You guys ever film from the other side? Giving a wide view?
Ah we were a bit limited with where we could set up cameras, but we’re moving studio space now and will see what we can do! Thanks for watching.
@WeirdWolfGames that's all good, I just struggle seeing the models that way lol
Question for Turn 2 for lemartes death company how do you get full re-roll the wound rolls?
You shouldn't unless you're an idiot like Will and misremember the rules :)
AoC is only vs one attacking Unit …
Oh let him have it, it didn’t help 😂
And the hellbrute can foght again After the Intercessors has faught :(
That might have helped to be fair.
