Doom Stalkers always have 4+ BS no matter bracket and They are monsters

4:00 I know why tesla is more expensive. The Silent King gives full re-rolls to hit in the shooting phase. Tesla gets a lot stronger when you can reroll all your dice that aren't 6s 32:40 Overlords move 6" now.

Luka fluff = best fluff

Noo lukaaa , the doomstalker never downgrade their bs !!

Any Batrep that Luca does is just... enjoyable. His attitude and demeanor is great for casual story driven games that are compelling to watch. He's also clear and consise with whats going on! I'd battle him every day if I was forced to.

Tempestus Scions are cool and all but they will never replace the kasrkins in my heart.

There's a few things that I noticed you've gotten wrong about the doomstalkers: 1) their BS doesn't degrade 2) You don't have to pay for the immortals to fire overwatch to be able to fire OW with the doomstalkers 3) Your doomstalkers can fire overwatch again, even if the unit being charged is within engagement range of another enemy unit

I am simple xenos hierophant. I see Necron battle report, I click Necron battle report.

No need to pay cp to ignore the negatives for shooting at the knight. The knight has to many wounds "aircraft unit or a unit with 18 or more wounds"

I am pretty sure u dont have to pay a CP for allowing the doomstalker(s) to shoot overwatch. AFAIK they can shoot ANY time without cost as long as they are in 6" range of the charged target and are not, of course, bound into combat. Awesome Battlerep. I just love how Luka is never ever salty, its so fun to watch!

To see scions charging is a lifetime event.

Still trying to get use to Luka's "normal" hair color.

I love the paint scheme, narrative, hosts, especially the sportsmanship -everything! BUT, the music puts me to sleep every time!

I don't often comment but I'm fairly certain that the Canoptek Doomstalker's brackets decrease its WS not its BS.

Holy crap I just started watching but this is a cool necron list!!

Luka is the MOST Canadian ever. Josh: Do you like this? Luka: No, but yes, but no, but I'm sure they had a very good reason so yes?

Sadly, Doomstalkers are Monsters, not Vehicles. Doesn't matter for Bring It Down, but definitely matters for those dynasty abilities.

I love the scions but man do GW need to release some more models (or at least units) for them. 3 kits for an entire army just isn't enough

Nightbringer needs a new model. He is a little small for such a beast

Those terrain cannons would be cool doomstalker "count as" units. 😅

Thumps up for Tauroxes Give those awesome Transport/Attack Vehicles some Love Guys!

i actually don't think the doom stalker is really that unfairly costed they could probably stand to be 10pts more expensive but if they aren't cheap enough compared to a doomsday ark then it becomes less easy to justify them.

So no one's going to mention how those awesome looking Scions look like the Kerberos Panzer Cops from Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade?

Luka made more 4++ than I can make 3+! Crazy, crazy!

This battle wouldve sounded like a Firework stand blowing up in the distance

Love to see my Scions, but sadly, this is about what I expected

Don’t you ignore dense cover penalty if you’re within 3 inches of the terrain?

Thanks for this video. Overlord, Lord and Royal warden move: 6" ;-)

The result of this match was a foregone conclusion before it even started, Guard is superweak this edition, Scions even more so and Knights are also a low-tier faction, meanwhile Necrons are enjoying that sweet new codex.

I just wanna see necrons lose a game

Wow that Turn 1 luck was painful to watch

Dynasty trait benefits vehicles, but the Doomstalkers are monsters and the stalker is a dynastic agent so doesn't benefit from the trait

What is with all the sexy avatar spam emoji comments? LOVELY. *CRINGE*

I clicked on the video not for the necrons. I clicked on the video because I knew WHO was playing the necrons

"I hope this works" Spoken like any guardsmen ever chosen to take the plasma gun

Thanks for the battle reports guys. Good distraction from crazy times.

I’m currently a big AoS player. However I originally started the Warhammer hobby with 40K. I started out with Eldar and then Astra Militarum. Then I started playing fantasy right before the end times and my army were the dwarfs (which I miss terribly as The fyreslayers nor overlords quite do it for me). With that being said, I am wanting to get back into 40K and am debating on starting either eldar or militarum tempestus. Any tips?

Well i should stop collecting and play for AM, it is pretty useless in 9th edition. Crowd units on 1000 pts focus poor doom walker for 170 and can't kill him. And necrons is not the most powerful faction, look like tyranids, SM, tau, DG and eldars will rape all rosters of this trash army. I am glad that GW make lore friendly game balance for AM where its bad moving, have low morale, cant hit and pen so high technology xenos, and dieing from one angry looking in their sight by the enemies, but where thousands of dog meat solder, and hundreds battle machines, and inqusition agents demons-henos hunters and holy in are flesh from SoB and exterminatus bombardment mechanic. Now i can see that army am in 9 edition have almost equal count of models like SM on table, but totaly weaker than sm and losing game in 1st turn if opponents have samilar skill

That battlemap was ridiculously small, though. You may as well have just rolled 100 dice each and the one with the highest wins the battle. As someone who is used to historical skirmish games, I find the lack of space and movement to be a problem in 40k. Love the lore, figures and armies though!

HAVE to have Lychguard whenever a Warlord is present, I agree! They are the royal bodyguard. The Lord would be naked without them. Also means you can charge in praetorian style with the Lord at the centre, radiant with glorious elan!

Sometimes reasonable dynasties must do unreasonable things

I can't believe Immortals are now consider a standard troop choice...... They should be considered elites.......

the necrons are cool it is cool too see soem good necrons i mean you know good

Hmm... 7:20am... teleworking. Yep, watching this.

>Necron dynasty accepting their fate and trying to work with something not them What the fuck is this non-grim dark shit in my death metal album army game?

A good guy necron dynasty in this grim dark universe? I don t think so baby !!!!

literally the most Canadian Necrons I've ever seen. But there is nothing wrong with that.

I like your dynasty, it's a lot like mine.

if only Josh replaced all tauroxes with Scions he would easily win. Josh you need way more plasma like plasma on top of plasma. And Tauroxes as fun they feel you should bring max 1-2 with Gatling.

“I have no save” “17 damage” Bro Necrons are balanced bro

The BS3+ variant effectively costs 175 pts per stalker if you go all out and bring 3. Not like that technomancer is doing anything else other than babysiting your stationary artillery ;) That price per model goes up to 190 if its just two stalkers and reaches a silly 235 if you only buy one.

My mahn Luca, MTG ftw my dude

Few things about the doomstalkers. One they aren't vehicles so they don't benefit from Stellar Alignment Strat, Second their BS doesn't degrade, and third they can fire overwatch multiple times and the unit they are firing for doesn't need to fire overwatch themselves.

Did GW make a change to reanimation protocols? The new book says "[after you succeed with enough dice to reanimate a single model] you then reduce the number of dice in that pool by a number equal to wounds characteristic of the reanimated model and repeat this process until either there are no more reassembling models, or the number of dice remaining in the pool is less than the wounds characteristic of any of the reassembling models" This is like the 6th or 7th game I've seen that people haven't been reanimating right.

I freaking LOVE Scions.

In the Grim Darkness of the far future, there is only political misunderstandings... then war (this is a joke, don't take too seriously)

Fun batrep guys! Thanks!

You two are my favorites guys

Broooooo..... get new dice.. I've watched like 5 or 6 games in the last 2 days and you use those red dice and they bend you over every time 🤣🤣🤣

51:47 hes depressed. call in the scions and take him out

i completely get it may be out of range but never using the technomancers rites of reanimation is also kind of a waste, bring back them core models. Would work on at least 1 immortal at a time

Are those alternate scions? Feel kind of like they look a little different than normal... if they are could you tell me where you guys got them, been looking to get a alternate scions army

Let’s go Scions, favorite guys

I really like the background music you guys are using in this video. Giving off some major Skyrim vibes.

im pretty sure you don't need to pay a CP to let the doomstalker overwatch for other units. they just get to if they are within 6

20:51 hahah lost my shit

22:40 That move O_O , shoot me plz !!!

41:50 vehicles cant get cover. right?

I believe the reason for smaller boards is for ppl to play on ''normal'' kitchen tables

Would really like to see necron warriors in ghost arcs list. Maybe Flayers and go Sautek with it?

The nightbringer should have been able to attack right after the knight(heres to hoping they dont realize this later)

This is some a really awesome Necrons army, is there any chance we could get a lore video with a list of how he built his army?

I love this Josh's army looks so cool :D

Nightbringer against a shooty list lol

ha luka is a MTG player that explains the Phyrexian symbol tattoo

did luka forget to fire with some of his imortals and royal warden in turn 1?

Those are some nice lookin' Taurexes.

I really love the battle map overlays and mission explanations you guys have started adding to the beginning. I think they're really cool. As a little polish thing, though, I would probably reframe the photos so that you don't crop out the tops of terrain pieces when you display the terrain. Let them pop a bit. Likewise when adding the deployment overlays. It's probably really fiddly and not practically scalable, but it would be such a professional looking detail.

Doomstalkers are king, plan on having 3 in a game soon too! Great batrep guys! 🙌

rhykker? as in the diablo youtuber??? probably not.

This was a really good one with two amazing armies and a good narrative. Well done!

Cant vehicles and monsters always shoot in combat now?

Does the doom stalker being a monster and NOT a vehicle kindof negate the pont of the army? Shouls have been doomsday arks.

Im new to the game and im wanting to play necrons, the army in this video looks cool and id love to work up to it but do i need to use the dynasty that is used in the video or can i use a different one?

What's going on with all the ads? I expect a few but this bat-rep has one after every other dice roll! What gives? Glad I'm a vault member so at least I can see some uninterrupted content.

Can I ask a question? What was the reason to put so many shooting troops in transport? And don’t use their good guns from turn one?

Important question Luka. To what Praetor do you owe your allegiance?

i am greatfull the lore luka put into all of this but half a hour in !

Woooow necrons are just the freaking worst. I'd have given up on the first turn after my fireline army failed to kill a single model in the shooting phase.....what other options do they seriously have ? If you cannot shoot something to death with imperial guard then why freaking bother.

Luka, Nightbringer can use 2 powers each turn, one is his unique Gaze of Death plus the one you can pick.

Superior Artisans Necron dynastic code bit rerolls a single *wound*, no hitrolls

Sounds like the Mary Sue dynasty

So I am fairly sure Solar Pulse doesn't negate dense cover. Solar pulse specifies "The target does not receive the benefits of cover against that attack" but it looks to me like Dense Cover affects your model, not your opponents. Dense cover at no point uses the term "benefits of cover" like "light cover" and "heavy cover" do and the second paragraph says "Models do not suffer this penalty to their hit rolls when targetting models with more than 18 wounds or aircraft" indicating your model suffers the penalty, it doesn't say Aircraft and models with more than 18 wounds don't receive the benefits of dense terrain.

Somebody loves them doomstalkers...

Hooyah MTG

Man, that Doomstalker blowing up on Turn 2 was brutal!

1:14:22 The Predator 1 reference killed me! hahaa

Is Luka's tattoo for mechanicus or phyrexia?

Now I really want to see the MONOLITH!
