Many thanks for the informative video. I'm starting up a Spec Ops campaign at my local store. I was pondering doing battle reports for my channel too but I may wait until I know more about running a Spec Ops campaign. This video clarified a lot for me!
I'm just starting one with a few of my friends, I'm running Ork Kommandos . I realized I was going to have to teach all of them how to play Narrative, so might as well make a video out of it. 👍
Great video, I like it. I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around battle scars. So you roll a D6 and do the subtraction to get a battle scar number? And you also said something like if you roll a battle Scar you already have, keep rolling a D6 until diff. Battle Scar.....Do you do the subtraction part too?
So the first time that operative get a battle scar, just roll a D6 and look at the battle scar table. Where you start subtracting is if that operative already had battle scar, in that case you roll a D6 and subtract 1 for every battle scar they already had. If you roll a scar you already had, you reroll it and still do the subtraction part. Example: Your operative had “critical impairment” and gets another scar. You roll “D6 -1” for your new scar. Let’s say you roll a 3 -1. That would mean you get a “2: critical impairment” again so you repeat the process. This time you roll a 6, but you still minus 1 so you end up with a 5 being “lingering ailment “. Hopefully that cleared it up!
Am I missing something or is there no advantage to winning a mission? I am about to launch a spec op campaign and plan on finishing with a tournament with all of their upgraded kill teams. Should I perhaps award an extra rp for a win?
There’s nothing inherently better about winning the individual matches. Just you’ll probably have less casualties, and have done more tac ops. I think adding in your own reward for winning the mission would be good. An extra RP would be simple. Maybe even do something like having one specific rare equipment or a strategic asset that goes to the winner. So the players know the rewards and can choose to either go hard for the win or focus on their spec op missions
At the starting dataslate, there is a section that says faction keyword, and selectable keyword. The Question I have is what is the difference between them. I have a deathguard set of plaguemarines. So Would Deathguard go into Faction or Selectable keyword section. and what would go into the other?
So the "Faction Keyword" would Death Guard. It's the main overarching name of your Kill Team. If you look at your operatives dataslates or on Wahapedia, it's the name that's Orange with the little skull icon next to it. Other examples of a "Faction Keyword" would be: Blooded, Phobos Strike Team, Wyrmblade, Talons of the Emperor. The "Selectable Keyword" is your Chapter/Subfaction. For Death Guard it would be what fills in the "" slot. For right now, we don't actually have rules that make that matter. For most teams this will simply be for their lore. I hope that clears it up!
Dude! You and Russ are seriously making want to jump into narrative. Excellent breakdown 👌
Thank you! That new Veteran Guard team you have would be awesome for narrative

Glad you found it helpful! And good luck with the Spec Ops campaign
Nice video! Great run down on narrative play. Are you playing one at the moment?

@@NightfireGamingYT Absolutely man, if anyone else asks me about how to learn narrative play i'm sending them your way like :D
I appreciate it!!
nice vid. i even made a narrative mobile base, too bad pandemic caught up and end up no much interest on narrative games in my community
I feel you there. My friends are into it but I doubt I could get a game at the local shop

@@NightfireGamingYT That helps alot, thanks!
Is it an XP per kill or 1 xp max per condition met?
Per Kill
@@NightfireGamingYT So if an operative kills 4 enemy operatives in a match, that operative gains 4xp for that match?
@@mma4605 Yes. So if you wanted to favor one operative to get a lot of XP you could.
