Astorum tabled, that's a change :D - You actually can turn before you Charge, just not after you've begun moving. Your last Reaver could've contributed a bit more before getting overwhelmed. - Though the game doesn't make a striiiiict mechanical difference between shooting and melee besides Melee trait, the Knights' rules state that you use Ion Shields when the Banner is hit by a shooting attack, not just an attack. Thus the Cerastus would not have gotten a save when you punted them in the face with the other Reaver.
Really enjoyed this video. Although I'm sure it's not fun watching everything die like that, the wild stuff that happened like the suicide warhound and the knight charge made it a fun game to watch.
typo in the title. with that out of the way, I've been binge watching your videos for a couple of days now. I've been away from the hobby for close to 10 years and your vids kinda made me think about getting into some stuff I missed during that time (40k mostly). keep up the great content
Everytime I watch an AT battle report, it always feels like the goal is just to destroy enemy titans. Do the newer books introduce more objective-based gameplay?
Titans are designed to destroy things, not hold ground like infantry :P More seriously though, engines destroying each other is the way they can interact in the game even if the missions reward other things too. Need to keep them as far away from your side as possible? Hit them if they close. Need to deliver a package through their line? Punch a hole in it. Trying to escort a downed crew back? Kill the enemy that tries to cut you off. This is of course somewhat exacerbated by the limitations of the Matched games, as the intention is to throw down some forces and have a whack. Other things are better at home in Narrative games, which often take a bit more to arrange. I don't know how Ash's schedule is while filming these, but it would be sweet to see some more narrative oriented games on the channel too to give some variation for viewers. A narrative game of war that has objectives actually reminiscent of war, now that's where it's at. (Some narrative scenarios in the books are very cool, I especially liked the Second Battle of Nyrcon City from Titandeath. How about, Ash? )
@@peitsaveteli4904 Yeah, even having to close in to an objective and stomp it, destroying some terrain or ship in low orbit (do you shoot a Titan or the objective on low orbit?) seems like a good idea.
@@knoxminis1211 lots of narrative scenarios do this. In Wreck of Arutan one side is trying to destroy a downed space ship before the other side gets their cargo titans free, in the SBoNC the attackers must get through the city walls in time, there's one with a chase in it, another where the attacker can pose and look cool enough that revolutionary citizens might take up arms and help their cause...
I too play a Ferrox Light Maniple where I purposely refuse to sit inside 2" with my Warhounds, both not ignoring Void Shields, and also ignoring my Knife Fighter rule... Someone please teach that guy what Maximal Fire and Shieldbane do. Wasted about 6 reactor repairs that game because apparently pushing is a bad time. Also, can't place a Blast marker if it would hit one of your models before the scatter, so you can't "danger close" your Bellicosa.
