This battle report feels lore accurate; necrons have everyone dead to rights, tau get obliterated in melee range by something beyond their comprehension, and space marines somehow pull a victory by having terminators teleport in at the last second.

@53:49 - I think the Nightbringer's Necrodermis may have prevented that kill if it had 4 wounds going into that fight phase. "-this model cannot lose more than 3 wounds in the same phase. Any wounds that would be lost after that point are not lost.". I could be wrong ofcourse. But as always, amazing production value, great story, and the terrain is an inspiration for future projects.

@ianmckendrick4753 Жыл бұрын

Definitely the best episode you've done yet. I'm guessing the length of the match made everyone forget that c'tan shards cant take more than three wounds a phase. Or that the super weapon had four wounds at the start of the game and turn 2 they failed a roll for damage, so somewhere an extra point of damage was dealt. Either that or I'm just confused by all the glory I witnessed.
