That game was crazy awesome, love to see it!!!
Wouldn't that chaplain have eaten the first shot because he had wounds already?
Nick makes watching these games so fun
19:05 I'm sorry 15 mortals! 😲 That was the best roll we've seen in a long time! 🤣
Cult unit respawn needs a nerf really bad
So basically every genestealer cult unit is Roboute Guilliman but better, got it.
tau nick the hive minds best operative for the genstealer cult he has infiltrated all the way to the top of the tau ranks. WELL DONE GENESTEALER NICK!!!
What was those feel no pains man
One of the best battle reports you guys have posted recently, amazing work and amazing game guys!
Those dice are rigged at the end, so much 3's xD
That was an epic game 👏
Man… I really need to see a duel: Legendary Watson the DDA vs Penelope aka Shadowsword. It would be uneven but still a good fight (Watson is an absolute beast)
Why does it seem like the GSC are better at reanimating than the necrons?
Nick's character dying in an explosion is so thematic
What a great game! Congrats Nick! Those dice told an incredible story
this inspired me to build my abberants and add them to my tiny 500 points army, but building more!
it sucks that Genestealers have more of a respawn ability than it feels Necrons do…
This mission, terrain, deployment style and overall army composition was a treat to watch!
What an unsatisfying end xD
Okay wait…Genestealers can bring back a full unit on a 4+ and people are mad at Necron reanimation? Okay, I see you internets! Fun Bat Rep, the back-to-back haymakers into the knight and the shadowsword was epic.
I’m so glad I watched this video as my brother got into GSC. Custodes and Chaplins for mortal feel no pains are vital. Also my goodness Nick is rolling like those dice are fire itself.
This is one of the best played and closest battle reports I’ve seen yet
This format and these games are THE BEST 40K played games to watch without a doubt. Thank you!
Maybe not Keanu but we now for a fact that Henry Cavill is a massive 40k nerd so maybe you can get him on the channel sometime? lmao
Goddamit, who let nick have espresso?
10:48 is Nick ok or is he laughing through some pain?:(
The irony of those Scars charge rolls!
Maybe i missed it but how many mortals were rolled for the explosion on the shadowsword?
I wish they put out new games every day. Lot of fun
I absolutely despise aborants for this exact reason. So damn tanky for no reason
Idk, I feel like the gene stealers comeback ability seems too OP on a 4. You could essentially be fighting double. Great br though
All these bikes made me think: Is it possible to do a 40k death race game?
I'd love to see this with each tabletop player zooming around a circuit with their respective favorite army ''bike'' ex: Tak Admech, Nick Genestealer cult, Steve Space Marine, etc… to see who wins, Mad Max style! 😛
Can shadowsword use 4 lascannons ? Also wounding on 6s for its titan killer ability was not noticed against the knight
Nice to see shadowsword on the table.
Great game 👌
Best game from this channel ever. Beautiful terrain, awesome unit choices, nail biting action, and fun players to watch. Awesome
I don't play 40K, but I still love your battle reports. So beautifully produced! It's a pleasure to watch.
Amazing game trully !
That was a cool game. Thanks for all you guys do. I don’t have the time to play so this is how I enjoy the game. Thanks!
The dice just absolutely hated Tak this game, brutal. Nick on the other hand annointed his dice in holy water.
Why do GSC army come back? No paying points or CP… it just happens?
Great game! So close! Congrats to Nick for the win.
the reroll return mechanic is so swing-y… either it's OP or you overpaid for that ability. Either way, you have to plan for it in some way as the GSC player. it must be annoying
That was SO freakin' close! What an amazing game! I'm a new Genestealers player, so it really heartens me to see them give space marines a run for their money. ❤
But well fought in both directions, what a game!
For a guy planning on spending less time in front of the camera, I think Tak has been in more videos in the last three months than in the year before that.
It's good to see! I like his style.
Did I miss anything or did Tak never use the weapons on the Dropship?
Well, now I want a GSC v Guard Baneblade duel! Or really just GSC v Guard in general
Those turn 5 feel-no-pains, wtf! Dice so hot they were melting.
I may be pretty new to 40k Tabletop, as I'm more fond of Warhammer Fantasy as a whole, but you all make 40k seem pretty damned fun. Expensive, time-consuming, and labor-intensive to get all those models looking so damned good…! But fun. Part of me regrets purchasing pre-painted stuff, but… Sometimes, you just gotta admit when you're not good at something, and I cannot hold my hands still enough to handle it.
I have noticed it has been 4 months since the Eldar were around on the tabletop, and I just got done with a roleplay-based 40k Tabletop Campaign that was a few days ago. So, I've a proposition, in case you all wanna give it a shot.
Eldar versus… Technically, whatever you want, honestly.
At some point during the battle, maybe turn 2 or turn 3, Imperial Knights show up and fight alongside the Eldar. The Eldar have to hold out for a time before Imperial Knights show up to reinforce, as they're driving back a shared foe. Be it Chaos, Tyranids, Orks, D-Eldar, what have you. I've joined late, so that's why my army has joined the campaign partway through, and we were facing off against Dark Eldar. If you want to somewhat copy the set-up we had during this campaign, as its an ongoing fight for a planet we called "Teurelbrax 3".
The scenario is thusly;
A force primarily made of Eldar Infantry and small-time vehicles of which I don't recall the exact make-up, and its probably best to let you all pick what you like, anyway… Is in a "hold the line" situation, as they're backed against a wall, both metaphorically and literally. Which Craftworld is up to you, but she was playing Iyanden, because the player likes them the most. They were cornered by our Referee and GM's force of Dark Eldar, and had to use a fallen Imperial Knight as cover. After making me wait 3 in-game rounds and when only the Farseer, an OC one that was designed by the player, and about 1/3rd of her force remained, I was called in.
That fallen Imperial Knight wasn't as fallen as it seemed, and with the blare of the war horn, awakened several other resting Imperial Knights to come crashing down through the Dark Eldar lines. I got fantastic rolls and absolutely obliterated the Dark Eldar and provided respite for the "pathetic Xenos" that were Iyanden. We're working together alongside another player who has Imperial Guard to find an artefact for the Aeldari, and to get the D-Eldar off the planet. After that? Dunno, but the GM has said that it won't end with just the Deldar.
Point costs are entirely up to you lot, because this is a roleplay-based campaign, and the GM tends to say "when", so to speak.
Capture enemy outpost says that if you draw it in the first round you replace it automatically, is there a reason why nick spent a CP?
