They don’t need Regen - thematically “Undead “ rule does the trick since it makes us not flee. And now it’s even more powerful because we get to take a Morale test first - before taking wounds
Regiments is seriously a good game, especially when played at higher point levels. So much more tactical without getting too bogged down by the intricacies like wheeling units but still retain limitations like having to move through terrain or blocking units to keep it very interesting. Don't forget to include the Ranks when calculating Combat Resolution, ya... Hoping to see more Regiments reports soon. 😊
I recently started getting into fantasy as well due to old world so i feel the same way about trying out regiments and i have been doing that as well. However note to anyone who wants to run OPR models for regiments, the sculpts are very dynamic so it is hard to have the rank up properly in lines so if that is a problem for you or anyone else i recommend looking elsewhere for 3d printed models. However i enjoy OPR models so i run them anyways
That's a good point, though GW has increased the size of unit bases, so it's possible that once the units are spaced out to fit the standard size they might have room. Otherwise I guess you'd have to find other models to use, at least for the rank and file.
On the subject of Regeneration in Vampiric Undead, I know Ghoul type units have Regeneration natively. So if you wanted to run a "Flesheater Courts" style army, that would be a sturdy army. Don't ask me why Ghouls are so resilient, I don't know. As for why most of the army doesn't have Regen, it's intended to function as a sort of generic undead force. And not every undead in fiction keeps getting back up. This in contrast to Robot Legions, who are based on Necrons in 40K, an army where canonically everyone is a constantly repairing construct. Vampire Counts never had that kind of theme. Instead, the idea of Vampiric Undead is one of an army propelled by powerful necromancers and magical vampires. They're animated - and reanimated - by the will and art of their masters. It's not unusual, then, that their ability to shrug off harm and keep fighting is contingent on those same masters. They're taking battlefield corpses and manually adding them to the undead horde. If you want your undead to stick around, they need heroes to do it. (It's better than Vampire Counts classically were, where the _absence_ of wizards due to being killed caused the whole army to start to disintegrate.) In light of this necromancy-dependent regeneration, it makes armies that DON'T have them cover a different niche. Ones lead by wight kings, risen from their barrows on skeletal steeds, aren't magical threats. They're old warriors leading their armies of old once again. They may not get regeneration, and that's fine. In general, the army is built around being a horde army first. Where you're throwing wave after wave of disposable undead minions at a problem until it gets overwhelmed. It's much like goblins or ratmen in that way. (By contrast, aside from some "silver tide" strategies, Necrons/Robot Legions are more on the elite end of the horde-elite spectrum).
Great report, thank you! Those ‘outline’ movement trays (I.e. the ones the skeletons have), look very interesting… does anyone know what make they are / where they can be found?
Are the golems scaled up dwarf kingsguard from Highlands Miniatures? If so, how much did you scale them up to get that size. Great paint job on the dwarves btw.
Not complaining, but you could let him play one of your other armies. Also, Corpse Wagon does not have Impact, rather it has 8 Crew Attacks, so not much of a vehicle despite being classified as one.
I've been trying to figure out that artillerist rule as well. They way I take it is that you can fire again, but you would have a fatigue token and would be hitting on 6's. Would love some more official clarification though!
What he said - no fatigue. Given the cost, I think it's a dual shoot. That upgrade is the same cost as another artillery unit, so I think it's a double whammy. Or you use the ability to move/position, and then activate to get a shot off. It's a really versatile ability.
Just found your channel. Really like the job you are doing. Really prefer One Page Games Workshop. 29+ year WH40K player. Much prefer Age of Fantasy to Grimdark Future Firefight. Prefer Skirmish to Regiments but it is still good. You are doing a good job. Subscribed to the channel. Like the video. Keep up the good work. Charles :dwarf beard taker".Cranford
Highlands miniatures. I actually have another video that showcases some of them and has links to the site for either STL files or for buying prints. They are excellent.

In theory, but when you roll like I do, you lose LOTS of guys.
I, too, have animated ancestral statues in my Dwarf list (counting as Earth Elementals in Kings of War)

I remembered the rank bonus when I was editing the video - too late to fix. Oops.

I’d say you should check out highland miniatures for some classic 5/6th edition inspired models. Also Titanforge.
@@tarnocdoino3857 Was going to suggest the same.

Good points. I'm definitely coming from a preference for "endless hordes" and necron, so I tend to want the regen as stock.

Josh got them from Etsy I think. They are 3d printed
Artillerist definitely allow you to fire a war machine twice
And corpse wagon use zombie to tract it, so they are too slow for impact

The golems are STLs from Kyushuniko (sp) Miniatures (check MMF). They are that size by default.

I think he was running it as the other vehicle. Also, I've offered, but he says it forces him to keep painting.

Only units that participate in melee combat gain fatigue to hit on 6's.

Thanks for joining. I try to make sure I get fantasy in there from time to time.
Bout to drop some mad coin on ratmen this weekend, can't wait to fight my wife's vamperic undead!
I like the designs for both of those from OPR. Not sure if I should root for you or your wife
You have some terrible dice rolling stats, dude. I know how that feels. You could say that you're not "Good Enough" for the Dice gods, lol.
The dice gods have hated me since I started in the hobby. I've tried everything.
Beautiful board! Is that fow terrain? You should absolutely have regen. Blood chalice should increase the regen by one.
Most of the terrain is Battlefield in a Box, but it's 28mm, so same company and FOW, just different product line.
Dwarfs! Woooo
where do you get those fine looking dwarves?
