So I BROKE the New Guard Orders at a GT! | Tournament After Action Report | Warhammer 40,000 

Straken Kill Count: 4 Meganobs, 5 Chaos Marines, 1 Flash Git, Captain Badruk, Deathleaper and a Hive Tyrant

Mordian Glory's commander: Can you get 3 points? Mordian Glory: OUR DEATHS WILL BE MAGNIFICENT! ATTACK!!!

1:19:40 and one Chimera had a unit of sentinels !! in it! 😲😲 The minds of many Guard commanders where blown at that moment! 😂😂

Venerable Lord Inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, The funny guard man got first turn, the incursion has inevitably begun.

I think you handled the Game 5 pregame perfectly well. Gave a polite heads up to your list, but didn't overly push it to the detriment of your team. You avoided the "gotcha, I have indirect fire!" and avoided hamstringing your team by throwing the game.

Where is Stracken's tournament kill count?

Re: fixed objectives, I think you played it perfectly. You gave him a chance, he made his decision.

The Grenades wargear stratagem can cause mortal wounds for 1 CP. You roll six die six and every dice that rolled 4+ is a mortal wound. This is a counter for C'Tan as you can use any unit or character with grenade capability in it's data card. Also, the grenade tossing range in the war gear stratagem is 8 inches and it happens in the shooting phase. This is a useful Scion weapon for heavy vehicles and other hard targets like C'Tan.

i love listening to your stories while doing hobby. And regarding your question on informing my opponent: I usually go through lists before such a decission. If you dont forget to tell about your indirect and other secondary relevant abilities that is all your opponent should need.

I think fixed is generally the wrong call for Nids. Your strong suit is secondaries and a well built list is good at scoring most of them. You don’t want to limit your secondary scoring - you aim to smash secondaries to open up a lead and make up for lack of lethality.

...mad props to the team captain for identifying the situation and assigning his teammate a new objective to capture a meta win from a complete loss. Cuz noone would have done that to snag a few points unless they were TOLD it would actually matter and be the right thing to do.

@Mordian Glory, you need a Super Heavy, and what better Super Heavy than one that does "Concussive Waaaaave!" Lord Solar / DKOK Marshal / x20 DKOK (med pack, x2 melta, x2 plasma) DKOK Marshal / x20 DKOK (med pack, x2 melta, x2 plasma) Scion Command (melta, plasma) / x10 Scions (x2 melta, x2 plasma) Scion Command (melta, plasma) / x10 Scions (x2 melta, x2 plasma) x10 Karskin (x2 melta, x2 plasma) -> Chimera x10 Karskin (x2 melta, x2 plasma) -> Chimera Basilisk Basilisk Stormsword

For the Nid game, I think you did the right thing. Giving him a heads up was the right thing to do and, if it was a solo tournament, I might have pushed the point. The fact that you had a team relying on you is the reason why I wouldn't have doubled down on telling him to drop those objectives.

Mordian is the kind of guy born with innate lucky dice rolls. I am more of a 3+ is a lucky roll haha.

Im glad that Mordian has come around on the melta mine. Its awesome

In game 5 I’d probably say you were more than generous to have your opponent rethink their objectives. Especially as they should consider that eventuality by that point.

I dont believe you can stack the standard an medipack on the same dude, check the asterisk; 1 Tempestus Scion equipped with a hot-shot lasgun can be equipped with 1 regimental standard.** 1 Tempestus Scion’s hot-shot lasgun can be replaced with one of the following: 1 hot-shot laspistol and 1 medi-pack 1 hot-shot lasgun, 1 hot-shot laspistol and 1 medi-pack** * You cannot select the same weapon from this list more than once per unit. ** That model’s hot-shot lasgun cannot be replaced. Once you pick either the medipack or the standard you cannot replace its lasgun anymore, and if you are planning on arguing the statement for the regimental standard does NOT state anything about "replacing", i would argue it is still implied that its a complete overwrite of its equipment, as it lists the lasgun he already would have had in addition to the standard, along with the fact if you ran this "algorithm" in the other direction where you pick the standard first and the medipack second, it wouldnt be possible rules as written. Arguing it works because of the wording seems silly and it clearly isnt intended for you to pick both, as both of the "loadouts" include the double asterisk of not allowing replacement, and every loadout outside of the standard's one (which is likely due to it being first in the list) being equipped by wording is at "replacing" the lasgun seems like intentionally ignoring the clear intention for you own benefit. If thats what you wanna do then fine, but in my opinion the existence of the double asterisk lockout phrase demonstrates the intention quite clearly and would classify this as a "that guy" rule reading just to squeeze out and extra heavy weapon into the squad while gaining all the benefits of the other wargear.

Mordian didn't show a single dice roll clip of him going 1st...it's all a lie

STRAKEN IS SUCH A BEAST!!! I fought a casual 1000pt game today against the Ork menace, Straken an a blob of 20 catachans charged the centre, move blocking and turn 2 charged straight into a Deff Dread and a group of 10 boys, Straken leaps ontop of the Deff Dread and plunges his blade straight through the viewing slit and merks the first Deff Dread only to have his group charged by a 2nd Deff Dread and a weirdboy. The 20 catachans and the Ork boys merk each-other down to the last Ork, until its just one catachan, Straken and the stomping, smoke billowing mechanical beast taking limbs off left right and centre. Straken then single handedly takes out the 2nd Deff Dread in a billowing explosion that wipes out the last jungle fighter to then hold the objective and win me the game. One man army! all while not even losign a single wound, not a scratch on him. Actual legend.

VICTORY WAS ASSURED (EVEN WHEN IT WASN'T)

This is the best competitive content available on the internet. Thank you Mordian! Would reroll wounds from Tauroxs help against vehicles/monsters?

This is maybe a stupid question 😂... When making these great vids. Then why not take pictures so you can show while telling what you did and so on ? It's only 4 pictures pr. Round.

Mordian, this is very close to the list I'm running for my all Scion (ahem, Kasrkin) army

Melts are actuality kind of annoying for Ctan, since thier damage halving happens before applying the damage bonus. Yeah, it is tough to wound, and they have that invulnerable, but a melta can still potentially hit them for 5 (6 becomes 3 then adds +2)

Well done. I think letting your opponent know about your Basklisk was a fair thing to do, but don't push. Some players may thing your trying to trick them with a double bluff. I enjoyed the report and your enthusiasm.

Stupendous! Just in time for three hours of a Saturday’s work ahead of me.

Love the video! Keep them coming!

Something like 1/8000 chance of passing 13 of 14 4+ invuls

I think you played it spot on in your pregame with the Tyranid player. Aa a Nid player myself, I will say that the hive mind has plans and they must be followed, no matter the cost.

I never knew Hunterkiller Missiles were infrared guided Air to Air missiles😂

Very sporting to mention the basilisk regarding secondaries in game 5, you didn't need to say anything, and I think a hint is perfectly sporting... you don't need to go and say you can just flat deny him points from turn 1... if you give your opponent a hint and chance to think it through, then that is plenty sporting enough. If you then went and did your thing, well, the ball was in their court.. In addition if you didn't say anything and did your thing, I imagine they would be pretty annoyed, but that's on them not you, If you have 2 Basilisks in your army with massive guns, they probably know you can indirect fire without you saying anything...

Sometimes people gotta fuck around to find out

Can't wait to hear that!

Thanks!

You need 20 points for drill commander on one of your giga blobs of scions. Move sustained hits to a 5+

Thanks for another good one

The earthqueake was here in México jajaja nice video 😂

The probability of making at least 13 out of 14 4+ invuln saves is roughly 1 in 1092! (99.91% of the time, someone fails another invuln!)

Fixed objective in Game 5 - absolutely would have warned him, tis the honourable thing to do.

Good video

Mordian I love human music, my favorite

Holy smokes! I never get to go first! What’s that like!?!?

IMO, in regards to the fixed objectives game, it's already going above and beyond to tell your opponent there's a problem with their strategy and why. If you have to actually spell out what's going to happen in the game beyond that you're actively playing the game for them. They'll also learn a lot more from actually playing out the situation rather than just being told what will likely happen.

Hey Mordian? I'm a total beginner still building my Death Korps of Kreig army and I'm facing up against a Tzeentch player with a Lord of change, have any tips for dealing with them?

Seems like anti armor is a problem for lists like this, meltas seem to not cut it. Perhaps some leman russ or dorn could help, granted costly and have to sacrifice elsewhere.

Straken taking names

So how did your team place overall?

So you ran Straken and the Castellans solo? Interesting...

Man as an iron warrior player it pains me to see possessed iron warriors.

D. D. D. D. D. D. DROP THE SCIONS!!!!!!!🤘

I would've done what you did.

I believe the scions can't have 1 guy holding the flag and med pack

I think you did the good call on game 5, considering it's competitive and a team event at that, where your decisions not only affect you. I'm not saying you have to be a dick, but you already warned him, and he kept going forward. If it was a normal 1vs1 and you wanted to face your opponent at full strength because you want to improve, it only affects you, you want to be nice, etc. I would say insist, but I don't think you were hiding information nor trying to surprise him in any way shape or form so it doesn't seem rude or anything like that to me.

Its 3am Australia time and I see this ( don't ask why I'm awake)

How did you get x4 squads of Tempest's

Operation Martyr

Bump

I don't think the necron player smashed you. You're having fun with a subpar list and are kinda shooting yourself in the foot. He went for the big cheese (kinda tired of seeing those C'thaans that are supposed to be almost mythological in every necron game) and won the battle but lost the war. Astra Militarum prevailed. Gotta love to trample them xenos' skulls.

Honestly would have said are you sure and say to pretty sceptically to make sure he understands I don’t think it’s a good idea. After that no more help as this is a team tournament and it’s not fair to your team to help your opponent to much.

Ddos attack on the matrix! Do c'tan style lists stop this in none team games so it's not tournament viable?

Obligatory Comment 🫡

Lol brother your to much, I get 1 game a month and my guard army is hated by my fellow gamers. They run in terror of my Black Leagion, I need more game play. Very bored in Hemet, California. 😭

Dude, no, you betray the team warning them and insult their intelligence suggesting they don't know what they're doing. BUT: It's good sport annnnd you hadn't done list yet so it's fine. You didn't go overboard.

Uh, kasrkin cannot use their warrior elite ability to be under orders when coming in from strat reserves, they are not on the table at command phase and thus cannot use an ability at all. Don't lie to people man.

🫡 I do my part 🫡

On the "controversy" of this episode. If the rules of the tournament specified that you select missions before revealing lists, I would not have told him at all. If it specifies you reveal lists before selecting missions I would have done as you did. Pressuring an opponent into doing what you think is correct is wrong, its their army they are allowed to make their own decisions, but they deserve all information that the tournament says they should have to make said decision.

awsome :)
