I remember when I first started playing the game and was wrapping my head around the chapters. "Okay so the Dark Angels have a regular version, a terminator version, and... a fast version that likes bikes. and is named Ravenwing. And uses black and white colours. Man the White Scars and Raven Guard players must hate this chapter"

It is appreciated when you go back for corrections but completely understandable when you have so much stuff to keep track of, between different armies, mission and primary rules, etc.

That was a great game, really enjoyed it. I note you guys used the old pill bases for the black knights, most competitive scenes insist on using the bases the models are currently sold with, is that not something you've looked at? Keep up the great work, the extra effects, the various views etc all add to a great watch experience - and we don't care that you messed up the score, it happens and you caught it :)

@tabletoptactics 3 ай бұрын

Not something we've looked at, nor really fussed by, as we're not taking them to other competitive scenes 🙂 The Wraiths would also be on incorrect bases by that logic, however both units are using the bases they were supplied with at the time, and there's no inconsistencies in units - if some of the Knights were on different bases, that'd be more of an issue 🙂

@tabletoptactics 2 ай бұрын

Units with Deep Strike are allowed to arrive Turn 1 if placed into Strategic Reserve, per both the Core Rules and Designers Commentary 🙂

@samuelsmith4701 2 ай бұрын

It's a very complicated string of rules interaction. They boil down to if you go second you can arrive turn 1 if the unit didn't start the game in reserve BUT (capitals because its an important caveat) only if it has a method of arriving that isn't standard walk on from a board edge (usually deepstrike but the necrons 3" anywhere deployment counts for this).

@@tabletoptactics I feel that. In joining my gaming friends playing 40k 10th edition (I haven't played 40k since 7th and had sold everything), I was going to pick up Votann or Chaos Knights as they seemed fun for casual play. One of my friends insisted I play my favourite army Necrons (to the point of buying me the combat patrol for Xmas last year..), I wasn't going to as while they are my favourite fluff and models. Playing them in the past wasn't the most enjoyable for opponents.. I am now playing Necrons, which funnily enough currently proclaimed "the most OP army" by the loud internet people. So when one of the group brings it up I can just point at my friend mentioned above and say "blame him, I was going to play something else". Thankfully the only models I currently own from "the OP lists" is a Technomancer, Szeras & Plasmancer. And my preferred play style is Awakened Dynasty detachment. Hopefully they will fix the Void Dragon's points by the time I get around to buying one, such a sexy model!
