Unlucky there, the Manticores all failing in the first turn was a real blow! EA is a great game, one I wash I got to play more often. Keep the vids coming please.
Great video. Epic Armageddon was one of the best rule sets ever released. Real 40k compared to some of rubbish coming out these days. GW abondoned the game because of greed. By the looks of of it you had a real problem with rolling ones and double ones in this game with the guard. Better luck next time.
As a guard player myself, try a company of tanks, 1 vanquisher upgrade, stick a hydra near them as they move. Also marauder bombers are crazy good if your opponents like to cluster stands and vehicles together. Great videos, keep them coming!
The tank companies are indeed a force to be reckoned with! I, however, find them a bit too slow (minor issue due to their long-range) and way too expensive. They cost almost the same amount as a mechanized infantry company and an artillery piece, that's two activations that are much more versatile than the armour. My opponents usually have no issues with hiding in such a way so that only one or two tanks can fire at them since we tend to play with big terrain pieces. I will try them sometime in the future in a 3000 point game and a report of the 2020 Mega battle is inbound where they also made an appearance so stay tuned for that :)
when i had this game, i used some wire wool glued to pennies and painted them to look like flames and black smoke coming off it for the blast markers, it added to the aesthetics and looked cool as hell from a distance; plus it was cheap and easy to make hundreds of them. It would look cool for your videos if you make more in the future, still love the epic 40k and wish it was more popular.
Had a very similar blast marker style to what you mention for a long time. At some point I decided to switch to small putty made craters on washers and eventually came to these yellow markers. For me they are cleaner to understand (and way easier to store and transport!) but you are correct that they do not add to the immersion. Then again having smoke/craters follow you around the battlefield was always something strange for me :D
I enjoyed the video immensely, though never played Armeggedon, stopping at Titan Legions.... looking at the new game Legion imperialis it seems a combination of 2nd edition rules and the battlegroup makeup I have observed for Armeggedon. Would that be anywhere near correct? Oh love the ork paint jobs absolutely great though I am an Old Guard player.... can never have enough rough riders and bikes!
Very happy to hear that! Thank you for your comment! From the few pieces of information available I would assume much more like 2ed it does not seem to draw much from Armageddon but it's impossible to trll before we get the rules. Paintjob is indeed very nice, always a pleasure to play with/against nicely painted miniatures! As for riders and bikes, they have their part in this ruleset, but I prefer artillery... When it works :D
Glad you like them. The Imperial guard vehicle's are 3d printed, Orks are either original metal minis or some kind of third party vendor. Vanguard I think :) Ork infantry is from Vanguard, imperials are a mix of Vanguard, Scotia Grendel and 3d prints :)
Great video! Wish there was more EA on youtube!

Great video! I really enjoyed the presentation.
Thank you very much
Great format and game!

Great battlereport. I guess you need more arty ;)

When it works..... never had to say that with bikes and horses..... sounds mad now I've written it.
it does a bit :D. In Armageddon unit activation works in the same way for artillery and non artillery so it's just a matter of me throwing dice :)
Nice camera work
Thank you :)
A shame Gw killed it...... Lovely minis
Awsome minis are they GW or 3D printed?

Excellent video, though your initiative dice really screwed you
Thanks! I would say that bad rolling is a common theme for my dice but here it went overboard :D
