New here, I was looking for battlereport for deth wizards and.. Nice content mate as you said (and as anyone with a new rule system would be prone to do so) there were mistake done, but the learning comes from mistakes, I've enjoyed your "pop up cards" on the montage of the videos when you were explaining rules or rolling for the actions of the heros. Lookin forward to see more content 🤘
Yep... solo play means missing rules sometimes. The more I play, however, the more gaps get filled.
@@thetabletopengineerplays glad that there are people like you playing indy games and show that not only mainstream games are fun 😉😁
This looks like a really neat game. With the weird initiative system it may be a good idea to put down markers next to each unit after they take their turn, so that you know who already went in that round.
Will do!
Negative Bolt, If you destroy a target with this spell, you get three energy back. You would need the Destructive Power p. 95 to have your spells crit. I initially read it as effecting spells as well. So I checked on the Facebook page.
I don't think I counted any crits as double successes for damage when casting Necro Powers, only combat. I think I actually looked up the rule in the video.
Dammit. This might have to be a purchase, even though I have a pile of solo wargames that I have not played through yet.
I know the feeling... too many games, not enough time.
Hi can you link where/how you got the table? I love the lazy susan style top and I its obviously perfect for solo gaming.
By table, do you mean the actual table beneath the lazy susan or the actual lazy susan? The table is two Ikea bookshelves glued together (liquid nails) and turned on side with caster wheels. The lazy susan is a 16" lazy susan with a custom laser-cut top I made to glue down on top.
@@thetabletopengineerplays The lazy susan. 16"? Cool.
Yeah, I can't recall where I bought it, but it was a local purchase in Atlanta.
Thanks! I was going to ask the same thing!
I think you've misunderstood. The Dread Horde Master can bring a maximum of 19 Rating to a single scenario. Everyone else can bring a max of 15 Rating. You don't get free undead.
Special Ability - Dread Master: Increase the maximum Rating of undead you may bring to any Scenario by 4 (i.e., increase the maximum allowed total Rating of undead from 15 to 19). However, the Dread Horde Master is prohibited from starting with, or ever recruiting, any undead with a Rating greater than 2.
**This rule does not alter the number of undead that the Dread Horde Master can recruit upon creation**.
In addition, whenever one of your Necromantic Minions attacks an enemy within 1” of a different friendlyNecromantic Minion, their Offense is increased by 1 for that attack.
My Necromancer is special. He gets 11. Uncle Atom told me I could do it.
Just kidding... did you read the part where I said I got some rules wrong? I had fun... it's all good. I'll be going back to 7 for the next video :)
@@thetabletopengineerplays I think we have all got the odd rule wrong, I certainly have. The most important part is having fun.
@@thetabletopengineerplays haha yea all good. I started with a Dread Horde Master, then promptly recruited a Flesh Golem. Figured it out about 2 mins before I would have won my first game. I'm gonna try a Spirit Caller now.
From my reading of the rules in question. Every Necromancer starts with 7 Rating of Undead. As you play missions, whether vs, story co-op or solo, you can roll to recruit Undead once after every mission. (For example, if you are recruiting a Skeleton Archer 1 rating, you must roll a 2+ on a d6. If you are recruiting a vampire 4 rating, you would need to roll a 5+) if you succeed you add the Undead to your horde, if not you get a +1 to the next roll to summon, create or call Undead next game so inevitably after several games you will succeed. In the case of the Skeleton Archer, you would succeed automatically after the first failure.
If, for example, you chose a Hovel or Tower for your Necromancer, you could have a maximum of 20 Rating of Undead. But normally, you can only deploy a maximum of 15 rating worth of Undead in any scenario, and the rest must stay at your base. A dread horde master is an exception in that they can deploy with 19 rating of Undead instead of the 15 normally permitted. However, they still have to recruit the Undead in a standard manner.
One of the core strategies of a dread horde master would be to simply drown the board in as many Rating 1 Undead as you can field. Skeletons, Skeleton Archers, Zombies, Vampire Spawn. Another strategy would involve fielding as many rating 2 Undead as possible. Ghouls, Revenants, Shadows, Spectres, or Wights. Both methods are viable, and it is possible to mix and match within those units available.
One thing I have noticed from other play throughs is having a decent amount of ranged assets is not only viable but helpful given the nature of the heroes you may be facing.
I hope this info is helpful.
I like the idea of having a table you can turn.
Is there a way to post a phot of how it's done?
Also, those buildings look fab!
There is a lazy susan underneath. It's a 16" diameter one. What I had to do was to laser-cut two pieces that fit together to make a 2' x 2' cover that I glued down over the lazy susan. Pretty straight forward. You could probably find a local hardware store that sells 2x4 sheets of 1/4 plywood and have them cut it in half to get a top.
The buildings are from a creator named Adrian on MyMiniFactory. I love the style of his 3D buildings.
Thank you for the video. This looks like a fun game.
It is... can't wait to play again.
Dont forget you get 3 Necromantic Energy back at the start of every turn.
Yep.
Loving Deth Wizards content!! Please keep it up. If you could talk about what terrain you are using and where you got it, I’d be very interested in a video on that as I build my collection and dread horde!
Especially those buildings, they are beautiful and fit the game so well.
Thanks for the play through. And thanks for covering the post-battle sequence too! I was hoping the between battle mechanics would be a bit more elaborate (ala 5 Leagues), but I’ll probably pick this game up anyways. Your terrain looks great! It has a very cohesive feel.
When you kill a target with Negative Bolt you get 3 NE back!
Yep.
Very interesting accent, particularly when you say "move". Where are you from in the US?
Born/raised in the south, but have a Canadian-born dad.
When casting spells, you're targeting the resist, not the defence stat.
Yep, figured that out after the first game. Fortunately the resist and def were the same value.
@@thetabletopengineerplays all good just noticed it.
No reanimating the villagers? Bummer :)
Having to roll a 9+ isn't good odds - and if you fail, you don't get your recruit roll.
