Shawn man you have to read the rules more, the Doom of Malan'tai's spirit leech ability only ignores armor saves. Ive been watching your videos for some time and you are constantly getting things wrong or mixing up rules.
You should have waited with the charge of the stealers then they woulnd be in the blast and maby even able to charge the marines that got out of the rino.
@mattman154 Sorry for all the comments, another thing I noticed was that you said the Genestealers had a 4+ armor save, this is untrue unless they are Ymgarl Genestealers, and if they were ymgarl they would not have the ability to outflank.
I really like what you guys are doing, both for the warhammer community and the quality of your work. Howerver, I cant but say that you really do not know the rules of the game. It is almost embarrassing how many mistakes you make in your videos.
That being said, keep up the good work and try to improve where you can.
You might not have been able consolidate like you did because it looks like there was more than 2" between those on the plateau and those off, it's nothing big I probably would have let it slide if it was my game. Also you would have had to measure the inches up before placing him on the plateau and then moving the remainder (if any) inches.
you should get feel no pain against the doom's ability. the rule book says no feel no pain against AP 1 and 2 weapons and power weapons ect. its the same principle as termagaunts getting feel no against a bolter.
@maxschock Last line of FNP says that it can not be taken against "any other wound against which no armour save can ever be taken". Please read the rulebook !
@maxschock rule book says you don't get feel no pain against weapons that normally do not allow armor saves, like ap 1 & 2 and power weapons and also like doom. so you cannot take feel no pain tests.
Two things I think you missed: 1) You don't consolidate after assaulting vehicles as the vehicles are never locked in combat. 2) The troops that were embarked needed to take a leadership check to ensure they weren't entangled.
I think you didn't use the mawloc quite correctly there. The best use they have is against vehicles. You can actually "target" the ground underneath a vechicle, and it takes a str 6 hit on the rear armor. Against dreads, this is pretty deadly, as well as rhinos. I think you could have actually destroyed the rhino in the front by dropping the mawloc onto him, because he wouldn't have been able to clear the template without running into anything.
As if Nids arent over-powered enough, they get Doom, I absolutely refuse to play against plyrs who use it, as its just ridiculous. sorry, dont wanna be a Troll or anything, but now ive been playing this game for more than a decade, and this by far is the most unbalanced character ive seen up until now. If anyone has a different point of view, i would be very happy to hear it as long as its constructive and not just BS.
@XENOFOBULUS well then I guess we should refuse to play against leaf blower armies, and we should refuse to play against kustom force field armies, and we should refuse to play against space wolf armies. Grow a pair and learn to counter, or go home and play with your army men by yourself.
@blitzme99 lol, i field a space wolf army, i got a pair, and im just interrested in hearing any suggestion to how to counter that sort of thing, that just pops out of nothing and start sucking away wounds without any saves? and further, name any character/model/unit in the other armies that is the equevelant to Doom?
@DuncanTheDoughnutx23 Unfortunately, fearless only makes you immune to moral checks, rather than the grisly leadership test (yes, there's a difference) that the Doom forces the unit to take.
Do you really keep all the 3 dices from the roll? I have not dared to think that you do and I have played so that you roll 3d6 and keep two of the highest... Usually it says if you keep all the three rolls does it not?
Well anyway the doom of malantai is waithing for a faq as is the mawlock... :-)
@bluetablepainting That is absolutely fantastic news. I wanted to see some more substantial Warmachine/Hordes battle reports from you guys. It seemed like you were quite interested in both a while back, but then they completely disappeared.
@Gleesman its not that easy as it seems. you shoud read the rule book errata and (suprise suprise) the eldar errata (not sure if some thing else) and you will see that every power/skill/something that hurts you in the shooting faze gives you a cover save. [it is just like with mindwar]. i know there isn't a rule for this specific power but there are powers with a similar efect so....
@XxxElPresidentexxX Totally agree but all of these are psychic "shooting" attacks and as such a cover save is totally justified !! Mindwar is done instead of shooting ! Leech however is not a "shooting" attack and so no cover save , in my humble opinion, but the tyranid errata (if it ever comes out) may say otherwise !! Cheers
