depthcharge12 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 For those of you who haven't seen it yet, Miniwargaming (over on YouTube and their own site) has put up two heresy batreps between the SoH and EC. These guys have always put up quality content and are a quirky if not idiosyncratic bunch of guys. They like to do a campaign (dear god the words forge the narrative comes to mind) style of play that's quite interesting and so far follows along book 1's special missions. You can sign up for free for the Vault and watch the second video as well. The first one uses the unexploded ordinance rules as the Traitors land down on Isstvaan, and the second one is the loyalists and traitors fighting among the firestorm and chaos of the street to street battles. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Batreps 3 and 4 are now up as well - they feature AL and IWs during the battle of Paramar :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 And it's got DAAAVE!!! He's literally the reason why I started watching MWG. Very excited to watch, I'll start after finals end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Aye quite like MWG, they're cheesy but in an okay way. Started watching the first heresy one and if you can get past the questionable list optimisation it's quite okay :P ruleofcoolhammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I think well see more optimized lists as they go on; remember, theyre just starting out and getting a grasp for the system. I can assure you, everybody here went / is going through the same phase that they are ;) We will also not speak about any rules mistake they make (do that on their websites comment section for the videos) since, again, theyre learning the system and havent nailed it down 100% Lord knows a few of us more...rules inclined members (me included) make mistakes from time to time... Im just happy were getting more and more 30k batreps and MWG doing the same now is only a good thing, I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareddm Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 It was their HH coverage that finally got me to subscribe. I haven't regretted it. That and recently cutting my Comcast bill in half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I feel like they're still stuck in books 1/2 as they're trying to use lots of Sicarans, Kheresnaughts, and lots of marines. But it's good at the same time, brings variety to some of the spammy batreps (though there are quite few even among the 30k community). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 There were SO MANY basic errors in the first two games. For some reason Dave treated his Contemptor as AV12 and WS/BS4 in both games, they ignored the rending rule on the Sicaran's main guns to name a few... My issues with the mistakes is that they relate to basic unit or weapon profiles, and not to complicated special rules that could be confusing, it's not like Dave is new to the game!

Slips Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 But have you ever seen them use contemptors/sicarans in any of their other games before? Probably not. So unfamiliarity with the profile + the subconcious going "its a dreadnought. They have profile X" is probably the cause to that. Theres no real point complaining about it since they usually correct these mistakes in due time. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'd honestly like to see the IWs against the EC guy, they're both interesting lists that could go either way. It's too bad there really aren't any other loyalists other than Matt's Sallies, it would've been nice to see a Fist or IH player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Leland was supposed to be Fists before he left :( I'm even more tempted to take a trip there at some point in the future now that they've got 30k going. But...time and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm in the UK... it's a long way for me to travel. I'd love to beat them all one by one with my Ultras ;-) Aside from Steve, he's making a very strong army by the look of things lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will commend him for going for something more static than his usual High-Mobility, High-Punch lists. What I really want to do though is give Quirk a rundown of the Alpha Legion Shenanigans he should/could be doing :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slips Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 New Episode is Up: Salamanders vs Necrons. Just started watching it so no real comments to make yet Buuuuuuuutttt.....Its Necrons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So I just started watching the first one. I started to laugh when Dave said that Justarein were awsome. So far it's really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 @Slips The necron one was super funny. Admittedly they did balance the Necrons by not allowing Decurions/formations and allowing larger unit sizes and FW units which made for an interesting match up.

The Necrons Steeve play were a lot more fun to see than their Typical Decurion Lists. I will say that, like most of these Early 30k Bat Reps, a fair bit of Optimization could have been had ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yeah they could definetly optimize their list more, though I would imagine that this is due to being new. Unlike 40k you there really aren't that many boards that discuss it so they don't have many resources outside of the B&C and a couple of other forums of course.

depthcharge12 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well it's also nice to see some infantry play because if they made similar optimized lists...it'd get messy quick. I assume that we might see a competitive throw down between Matt's Sallies and the Mountain's IWs. I was honestly hoping for that instead of Necrons haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 This week, we've got World Eaters vs Salamanders. Previous to that one, was Salamanders vs (toned down) Eldar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 The World Eaters v Salamanders one was really good, imo. In the Vault they have Angron squaring up against Vulkan in a re-match featuring both Legion's Primarchs. Going to watch it shortly.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
