  1. Honestly when I first saw mauler fiends in CSM, I thought they were great for how cheap they were along with the fact that they can move a foot a turn. Great report though!

  2. Gotta say, your batreps keep getting longer and I keep getting sadder. What made them so great was the amount of useful info you used to fit into a tiny package. Now it’s the same amount of info in a box that’s way too big. Like overpaying for a giant usps flatrate box.

    Nonetheless, I still appreciate any report with well painted minis on an amazing table. 😉 Cheers.

    1. Hey, our last video was like, 13 minutes! Haha, and we had a bunch of people mad that it was too short!

      Can’t please em all =)

      This one was really long though, but a lot of that was Frankie and Geoff talking nonsense at one another. We will likely have to alternate between long and short form videos as we here both sides of it.

        1. We’ve had that request before but it is hard to get that in the game without slowing it down too much. We will try and work something in as that is fun when you capture some good/bad rolls on film.

          1. I think what I like about the FLG batreps is that you don’t show dice rolling. I don’t see the point in showing the rolls, I can see the effects on the game with a summary.

            There’s a big batrep site that shows thirty plus minutes of dice rolling and it’s horrible. The market has been covered

          2. I am down with seeing critical rolls, like when the Warlord has that last wound and needs to make the save to win the game, only he dosent and Frankie crys. I want to see that.

  3. Now Franky, do a battle report with Be’lakor in your list and let’s see how he impacts the game…I am not a competitive player but he looks quite mean to me…

      1. If I actually get a game in in the next couple of weeks (looking unlikely, sadface) I will include him and batrep it.

        I’m already 99% sure he’s in my competitive circus list, guranteed Invis/PM/Hallucinate is game changing.

  4. Hey… in a challenge no other models in a squad are treated as being in base to base contact with the two characters fighting the challenge. So… the maulerfiends wouldn’t have affected that final duel at all…

    Adam B has played several mauler based lists against me because he’s fed up with the Swarm Lord killing Abaddon in combat. The best things nids can bring to tackle them is some zoanthropes… warp lances have a great shot of one-shotting them with AP 1 explosions, which helps given how irritating they are at regenerating hull points.
