Rhulic BatReps in NQ?

[PG_Pake]

Has there been a BatRep with Rhulics in NQ? Seems to me that the bat rep chiefs are ignoring the vertically challenged people...

[Wishing]

To make the thread topic a bit more broad, I'd suggest making it a discussion of NQ battle reports in general. Have any of them featured any merc contracts? What are the factions that have been most featured in reports? How have they been received by the readership?

I don't know the answers since I stopped reading NQ long ago, but I'd not mind learning...

Also, if I recall correctly and there is a NQ sub-forum, maybe this thread belongs in there.

Sure.
Try "Gorten". There's a batrep with him in #1. Plus more stuff.

[PG_Duckboy]

Was it a staff battrep?

I do not know. [WM] The Duelist's Gambit: Ashlynn/Gorten vs Butcher/Vlad Battle Report

[PG_Duckboy]

Ah, mk1 1000pts, seems so.

Time for a spot of research - details of NQ's 1-39 are available in the TOC thread that captainspud linked to, and I've checked my copies of 40-42. If anyone wants to chime in re 43, that would be helpful.

Here's a list of the battle reports in NQs 1-42:

#1 - The Duelist's Gambit: Ashlynn/Gorten vs Butcher/Vlad Battle Report
#4 - HORDES vs WARMACHINE: Ironhide V Stryker box set Battle Report
#6 - Battle Report: WARMACHINE battle report - Feora V Haley
#8 - Battle Report - Drawn & Quartered: 4-player team battle report, Cygnar/Trollbloods versus Circle Orboros/Circle Orboros
#9 - Battle Report - By the Light of a Blood Moon: Skarre versus Magnus 500-point Battle Report
#11 - Battle Report - In a Ring of Stone & Blood: Morvahna versus Xerxis 750-point Battle Report
#12 - Battle Report - Man the Guns: Shae versus Caine 750-point Battle Report
#13 - Battle Report - Of Ice and Blood: Rhyas versus Vlad 750-point Battle Report
#14 - Battle Report - Shifting Sands, Shifting Fate: Terminus versus Grand Exemplar Kreoss 750-point Battle Report
#17 - Battle Report - Mining is Risky Business: 750-point Reznik versus Epic Nemo battle report
#19 - Battle Report - Blood Harvest: Doug's Epic Kaya takes on Kevin's Epic Madrak in a 750-point battle
#22 - Battle Report - Blood Vs. Iron: Dave's Irusk army takes on Brent's Mortenebra army in a 750-point battle
#24 - Battle Report - Bridge to Nowhere: Adam's Kraye / Fiona army takes on Rob's Epic Makeda / Mordikaar army in a 1000-point battle
#26 - Battle Report - Arcane Onslaught: DC’s Rahn (Battle Mage) army takes on Ed’s Zerkova (Greylord) army in a 750-point battle

#28 - Battle Report - Battle at Low Tide: Will's Stryker army takes on Jack's Cryx army in a 50-point battle
#30 - Battle Report - Blood in the Sand: DC's Mordikaar army takes on Will's MacBain army in a 50-point battle
#33 - Battle Report: Swamp Stomp - Aeryn's Gatormen take on Ed's Farrow
#35 - Battle Report: Engines of Wrath (Vyros v/ Strakhov)
#37 - Battle Report: Grave Reckoning (Scaverous vs. Thyra)
#40 - Battle Report: Stone & Scale (eBaldur vs. Kallus)
#42 - Battle Report: Colossal Clash (Harkevich vs. Witch Coven)

I've added a gap there between Mk1 & Mk2. There were 15 battle reports during the Mk1 era, and there have been seven so far in Mk2. Of the fiften Mk1 battle reports, three were at 1000 points, meaning there were 36 caster slots used in Mk1. As far as I can tell, all the Mk2 reports have featured a single caster, meaning there are 14 Mk2 slots.

Mk1 Faction Breakdown (Count of casters used by faction)

Cryx: 3
Cygnar: 6
Khador: 5
Menoth: 3
Mercenaries: 5
Retribution: 1

Circle: 4
Legion: 1
Skorne: 3
Trollbloods: 3

Mk2 Faction Breakdown

Cryx: 3
Cygnar: 1
Khador: 2
Menoth: 1
Mercenaries: 1
Retribution: 1

Circle: 1
Legion: 1
Minions: 2
Skorne: 1
Trollbloods:

While every Mk1 faction featured in at least one battle report (even the Retribution), so far the Trollbloods are the only faction not to appear in a Mk2 battle report.

Mk1 featured four games involving WM vs Hordes (issues 4, 8, 13 & 24), and we've seen one so far in Mk2 (issue 30).

If we come back to the original question, only one battle report has featured a Rhulic caster, which was the very first one. There have been a total of six Mercenary warcaster appearances overall, though one of those (issue 24) will have been outside of a contract. Of the others, issue #1 had two casters in a Highborne Covenant army, issue #9 featured what I believe to be a Four Star Syndicate Magnus army, and issue #12 must have been a Talion Charter army, as that is the only contract Shae has ever been able to appear in. In Mk2, we've only seen one Merc army, and the MacBain+Croe's combination implies another Four Star army.

Interestingly enough, as it says it in the NQ contents thread as well, the Battle report in NQ#22 is not Irusk vs Mortenebra, but actually Irusk vs eGoreshade...

Well, I did just copy the battle report lines directly from the NQ ToC thread, so any errors there will be repeated. On the other hand, it doesn't affect any of the stats above

[PG_Pake]

I think it's about time for a Trollbloods vs. Gorten bat rep. OR better yet, let's wait a few months and see how General Ossrum
will annihilate Trollbloods.

I demand a Rhulic bat rep!

[PG_Mr. Mayhem]

I demand a Rhulic bat rep!

Until NQ releases, you can sate yourself with this and this.

Oi! Reps with pics! Thank you!

[Grimz]

You know you could read batreps with that other dude you own, might help you get a handle on how he playes ;D

You are limiting your self a little by only givin your love to gorten and letting the other poor sod collect dust

[PG_Pake]

Madhammer has as few bat reps as Gorten. I wasn't asking for Gorten bat reps, I was asking for Rhulic bat reps.
Still a little dizzy about the Thornwood win, huh?

IIiihihihiii the medal iz soo shiny My precious

Now dont be silly, you know that nobody plays Rhuls... Hell I doubt they could see over the table.

Mind you I could sit here and think what it would be like to fight vs a rhul army..... But it would be to much like killing children not a great feeling

That was brilliant! Thank you!

I also noticed that there doesn't seem to be a NQ forum section - that must have been on an old forum.

Not a problem - as you've probably guessed, I was a little bored that morning
