Just found your channel and I already love it. I am SO SO pleased you're not doing the competitive layout with just barong walls. Your board and models are gorgeous.
Your content is great guys! Came here from winters SEO. Keep up the awesome content, I love you all. Don’t rat me out but I have you all playing on my tv while I work from home hahaha!
Perspective on Lord Solar at 2:18; I think it's reductive to look at him as an overpowered 125 point model, the reason being that he isn't a 125 point chunk of a list, but actually an at minimum 240-250 points chunk, depending on configuration. To make Lord Solar into the truly cracked support piece he is (and to make sure he isn't just killed immediately) you kind of have a built in requirement of giving him the range to give out his orders by attaching a command squad w/ master vox and a battleline infantry squad to glue the whole assembly together. The minimum of 240 points in a Solar+CS+10 catachans configuration is much more in line with the cost to ability range you'd see in other single model or unit+leader configurations in other armies at that 240 point mark, which makes calling for a points nerf on him a tough sell without also calling for a points drop on command squads and other HQ units imo. Thanks for the battle report, I enjoyed seeing those nicely painted models!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the game! This is true Solar really does need the supporting units to give him the order range, but for me I'd be keeping a unit on my home-field objective anyways, so for me it's really only the extra points for the command squad, which does give another order etc. Very much looking forward to what they do with him and the Guard in general in the new codex (hopefully not long to wait!)
Great channel guys. I wished you'd try different camera angles to make the battle easier to follow. I know it adds significant work and editing but it would enhance things no end. 👍
So we did use it, but cut straight to the fighting, he did a wound or two with it throughout the game but nothing that made too much difference :) - Thanks for watching! :)
@@TwoandaHalfWargamers Ah, cool then. I see lots of Necron players forget that ability in battle reports I watch so just wanted to make sure it wasn't missed or that I hadn't accidentally glossed over part of the video. What's your detachment of choice btw?
@@nightwatchm4n Always good to have the feedback on the videos, we do miss stuff now and then! So Andrew prefers the Awakened Dynasty and I (Colin) prefer the Hypercrypt :)
Thanks guys, glad you like them. They were my love letter to Terminator 2. It's an airbrush paint from Green Stuff World called Chrome. I apply it through the airbrush over a gloss black primer and it's pretty much done in one coat. I then go in and add some definition to the recesses and shadow areas with nuln oil Gloss. After that choose the colour you want the eyes etc to be and it's job done.

Thank you so much! Really glad to see the terrain setups are going down well! :)
@@TwoandaHalfWargamers I looks like a battle and not a competition.
Looks like you guys have caught the true aspect of gaming Grimdark.

You´re doing great Battle Reports. Winters sent me here. Loved the post action discussion. Can´t wait do binge the rest of your content.
Thanks for watching, great to have you here! :)
Just found your channel and I love this bat rep. Reminds me of playing with my friends! I’ll be hunting down your other videos, thanks chaps!
Thank you so much, great to have you here! :)
Discovered your channel just now. Love the DKoK army!
@@Imladrith thank you! Looking forward to bringing them back to the tabletop with the new codex soon! :)
Excellent battle report, just saw you on Winters, subbed.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed! :)

Thanks for watching, it's definitely on our todo list to expand the camera angles during the game! :)
The Death Korp held back the Necrons at the cost of their own lives. Yeah, the Guard is decimated but this is a win-win for a Kriegsman.
Luckily there are plenty more where they came from! Send in the next wave!!!
Lovely looking game! I was also sent here by that strange chap in the hat
Miniatures are beautifully painted. I appreciate that you don’t waste time with cornball shtick.
Looking forward to your next report.

Thank you!
10/10 Intro
Awesome stuff! Lovely armies 😄
Thank you, much appreciated!
I play guard, HOW ARE THOSE DK MODELS MADE?!? THEYRE SO DANG COOL!!
Thanks! So most of them are from the plastic Kill Team kit, but some of them (Like the one one the thumbnail) are older Forge World models :)
@@TwoandaHalfWargamersthank you! Sadly I missed the boat on them before they were taken from us
Correct me if I'm wrong but it looked like you forgot to use the Skorpekh Lord's Crimson Harvest ability during your charges. Great game though.

Welcome to the channel!
What sliver was used on the necrons?
Seriously, I love that chrome!
