I think the camera angles and board setup that you do is really nice. Your games are really immersive. You are always a good sport and make fun narrative reasons for stuff that happened. Great game gentlemen.

how did Winters get the actual heresy era Lion el Jonson into his wargaming room??

Doesn’t Dark Angel Chris look like the Lion himself?

Feels like the Lion should have a halve damage rule himself. He got wrecked with ease.

Those super cocked Nightbringer damage rolls at 44+mins!😬😬😬

They should add a rule where you can deepstrike Inner Circle Companions from the Lion mid-game. Like a mini-astartes Monolith. The unit is seen as quite underwhelming but if they could appear to help their Primarch, that would be pretty cool and themey.

It's always a pleasure to see Chris and his Dark Angels. The Lion will be triumphant next time around.

Wait did Winters forget about the monolith disintegrators in both his second and forth shooting phase? He didn’t use them shooting the assault intercessors turn 2 or against the knights turn 4

I actually brought a double monolith + nightbringer list to an RTT this week. I'm not a particularly good player, but the first game was the ritual + scrambler fields (so no deep striking onto objectives, and loads of objectives in the middle), and in another game my opponent brought 3 units which denied deep strike within 12". Both of those really hampered me. I think there are probably ways round it, but anything which results in a 12" no deep strike field is really good and I think competitive players will start picking those units soon.

That scenery is amazing

Lion El'Jonson. The Primarch return to gather his Fallen Firstborn to become the glorious risen to join the ranks of the rest of his wayward sons. Leading the old, even more than usual suspicious sons of his back to protecting the Imperium at it's hour of need... GW: Yeah, he's going to be just surrounded by Primaris. Even the Deathwing "can" be Primaris in the same gear. Lion: DA FUG?!!

Thank the gods for this battle report

I think a good way of defeating the Monoliths is volume of bodies, if you have big squads with invuns then the high AP and damage weapons of the Monolith are diluted.

That’s my afternoon sorted! Thank you!

One of my favourite battle report channel. Great lads, simple and clear explanations, great camera, tasty jokes, brilliant. You got yourself a new subscriber, thanks and keep them coming! Cheers🎉🎉🎉

Yes!! Both my armies fighting each other! Looking forward to this one!!

great battle report, came for the DA content, will stay for the production value and story telling, great job!

Lion needs a 100 point price drop

The lieutenant from the Movie “Last of the Mohicans” 😁👍🏻

Great game! TBH with the 13th on break, Ad mech a dumpster fire, and Tyranids underperforming, I'm happy to see Winters having fun with Necrons. Solid performance despite some really frustrating rolls!

Even the Monolith needs a 'toe in' to the ruin before it can be seen. GW changed the rule on Titanic and LOS. Only aircraft can be seen anywhere with true LOS.

Wonderful game, loved it!

Just 11 mins in but the +1 bs +1 ap strike from the shadows strat is infantry only. Looking forward to the rest of the batrep

To countering the hypercrypt legion, maybe denying deepstrike? I'm thinking infiltrators that have the 12 inch no deep strike aura.

The Emperor protects. Sometimes

Winters! Love the batt reps, u da best!

That is one knockout paint job on the Lion, great stuff - Also @DarkAngelsChris, where did you get the robbed bits for the sergeants of your intercessors?

Thanks of the BatRep!

Those Deathwing Knights we're Beastly!!!

Terrain Goals. Good lord the tabletop is beautiful.

Was wondering when Dark Angels Chris would be back on the channel :)

Holy Emperor!! That C'Tan Nightbringer, where and how... Take my money 🤑

41:40 when he puts it like this…Monoliths are a bit broken?

If my Dark Angels opponent doesn’t look like Chris then I don’t want it.

Woooo new battle report

Woot Woot DA Chris is back in da house :)

Lokhust Lord gets full rerolls against below half strength. Almost never comes up but would have here.

41:21-41:40 best part of the game :(

some very green 90 degree angles i do say so myself

Hypercript is after the dataslate the best 40K army. Too much movement for too strong monoliths and c tan s. They will eat the nerf hammer in the next one… until then, enjoy necron fellas!

John Deere Necrons Vs. Protractor Marines. Bloody brilliant! Time to crack open the custard creams and zen out.

Saw the lists. Had a hmmmm moment, watched the first turn, had another hmmm, and clicked to the end to see if it went how I figured it would. It did. Beautiful board though. Might have to hit up march of war.

Gladiator lancers maybe. Over the Preds.

Yay got something to do during the blizzard!

As always, Winters showing he's on the cutting edge of the tournament meta! :) Always fun to see the monoliths bouncing about.

I'll say this where I keep seeing it, but I really think this game needs a rule that units don't die until the end of their team's first battle phase. Kind of feels stupid a list can include 2 Monolyths and a Ctan.

dark angles

@Winters: are the points correct for your Necron list?List? My count is coming in at 1935pts.

A question about leviathan tactical mission cards: when you decide to discard a mission at the end of your turn (or end of round?), do you get a CP as before?

Hypercrypt seems overtuned. And I think it makes Monoliths over the top. The main problem a Monolith would have on any other detachmetn is that it is eitehr slow for a vehicle with 8", or it deepstrikes losing a turn of shooting. And then becomes slow, and you can try to play around it. But in Hypercrypt its weakness is ignored and you have a tough unit, that regenerates wounds, that shoots sustained hits Lascannons, and devastating wound blast weapon, with decent melee (3D melee is rare) and thathelps all the additional mobility you have. Very few things can wound it effectively, and if they do, you just need to do the 4++. It is a bit too much. I think the DA list had very good antitank, and still the monoliths were basically intact.

Doesnt vanguard -1 to hit and stealth only apply to infantry?

Go Monolith!

Damn,I have yet to see a good balanced list from the " new" Dark Angels. Disappointed as a DA player.

If I may ask, where did the model you're using for the Nightbringer come from? It's much nicer than the current GW one.

heh Dark Angles !

Is Titanic really true LoS? Can't find that in rules..?

"Dark Angles"

Dark angels Chris wearing a symbol of fenris around his neck! Nice little mjolnir

Lock-Hust Destroyers or Locust Destroyers? I think its said Locust. But that's just me.

Saw the double monolith and skipped to the end just to see the results. Those things are just too good at everything

Necrons are way to OP in 40K... they need a nerf and Orcs need a buff

If we consider his most played armies, wouldn't he be Dark Eldar Chris?

Not the best move to charge the Monoliths. I think he overestimated his ability to damage them. Hypercrypt Necrons are very strong now. I saw that when the codex dropped and everyone rushed to play Canoptek Court. Marines of any flavor will have a hard time. Perhaps with all his armor Chris should have played Ironstorm or Gladius? I don't think Vanguard slowed you down much Winters.

gg

Support comment

Like + comment to support the channel as usual. But can we have a little bit more dice rolling....? To hit, to wound and saves? Because firstly u cut off to hit, then to wound, and now also saves - just giving the result (

When did GW abandon firing arcs as a thing?

Nice battlereport once more. Thanks for the good work. But those Necs are broken badly. I watched the batrep CSM vs this dynastie and the result against the Angels was quite obvious. The teleport-mechanic(should be banned for all armies) + all, the monolith can do, is a realy hard pill. You had a video, calling out for players to have fun and make the game fun for yourself and your opponent. But in 10th edition, the gamebreakers rise with every codex and its hard to avoid them.

Awesome rep. Bad day for the Lion. Maybe you can do a Votann vs Hypercrypt? They are heavily aggressive on primaries, take control over the board and can put on some early pressure. Teleporting is nice and stuff, but won't help you too much if there are 4-6 armored vehicles close to your entire army. Would be fun to watch. Or Nids. :D

I told Winters in his live stream he loves then Necrons cause their broken. lol

"Dark Angels" not Dark Angles. Lol

Just another example of Necrons OP AF.

As they play the game theyre realizing just how weak the poor dark angels are datasheet vs datasheet 😂 fml

It seems the space marines keep getting nerfed. It would make sense if they won tournaments but, from my understanding, they don't. Can someone explain this to me please? *** Note: I do not play myself because everytime I considered getting into this hobby, anything I want is "out of stock." This is a whole different issue but, it does stop me from joining winter's Wednesday & such. That said, I don't play thus I don't understand "everything" but, I've been watching these games since early 9th edition. My view point is based on watching games across several channels & I haven't seen a space marine army win semi consistently, since early 10th edition. ** Death guard, chaos marines & elves, seem to be the over powered armies based on games I've seen. Lastly, Winter's has the best channel in my opinion (inc play on) but, it would be nice for a bar or something to see VP, CP & scores.

Lion is trash now and I hate it.

Monoliths are OP. Sorry, but a 360 point model shouldn’t be good at EVERYTHING. Good single target heavy damage, good crowd clearing, tanky, regenerates, MOBILITY- NOT BAD IN CLOSE COMBAT?!? I mean….it literally does everything….needs a nerf

god i love watching dark angels lose.

i have to double comment, dark angels copium huffing.
