We have opened our channel to share our passion for this wonderful hobby with you and at the same time help more and more people to get closer to the game. Every day we spend most of our free time engaging in creating interesting and easy-to-follow videos. We like to listen to our community and we have big plans for our channel for the near future, but carrying this project forward and supporting ourselves financially is not easy since, as you well know, this hobby is extremely expensive. We will continue to commit all the free time we have to the channel, but our dream is to make this hobby what we do for a living. It would be truly wonderful if we succeeded in this intent. so, if you believe in our project like us, if you want to help us and you have the possibility, consider donating here: www.buymeacoffee.com/tabletopwarband Of course it is not an obligation, we will continue to produce videos for you for free here on KZbin by doing the best we can. But if you feel you want to thank us, helping us to lighten the economic expenses, then it would be wonderful! Thank you all very much! Simone and Andrea

Finally, GW changed lasertag guns to lasguns. Keep it up guys, waiting to see another BR with cadians!

[@TabletopWarbands]

Hahaha true! It worked well, they needed that buff for sure ^^

[@googuygaming3635]

I just discovered this treasure trove of a channel. Great editing, my favorite armies clashing, and a rarely seen combat patrol sized game that might be manageable to obtain! Bless you guys and keep up the good work!

[@TabletopWarbands]

Oh you came to the right place! Welcome and thank you! ^^

[@noerknown]

These smaller scale battles are a blast, the lore y'all put into it certainly promoted my interest!

[@TabletopWarbands]

Thank you! Glad you like our content!

[@rickythompson6874]

I really like both the Colour schemes for these armies. Could you do a painting tutorial on how you paint them as they just look fantastic..

[@TabletopWarbands]

Thank you! A lot of people are asking us this, so I can tell you that we will certainly do them as soon as possible, but not immediately ^^

[@dekametr]

Congratulations! Claudio was promoted and got his own tank.

[@TabletopWarbands]

Yes! It was about time! :D Thank you!

[@eddyastor2724]

Claudio = legend

[@Vesalias]

It didn’t matter in the end, but I’d have charged with the plasmacyte first rather than the destroyer to stop overwatch. Also remember to roll for regenerating CP when using the reroll stratagem. Keep up the good work.

[@TabletopWarbands]

Yeah same thing I was expecting, but he wanted to prevent the plasmacyte from being eliminated from the overwatch and then power up the Skorpekh. Yeah I missed one reroll I think :V Thank you!

[@januszmanczak161]

[@TabletopWarbands]

@@januszmanczak161 Fair point 😅

[@Bluecho4]

Having Claudio Promoted was a good move on the part of Guard command. It's nice to see Guard finally catch a break. Now if only they could get that new codex already. On the other side, poor Necrons. They got their codex so early, they missed out on all the power creep this edition.

[@TabletopWarbands]

Yeah for real! I'm afraid tho that Astra will end up the same as the Necrons for the next edition 😅 But let's focus on the present, for now that buff is good stuff :D Thank you

[@eddyastor2724]

Great batrep as always guys! I suggest having the hammer of sunderance in the battle cannon + extra ap tank ace, its gonna work great! Also squads can pack heavy weapon teams for free too!

[@TabletopWarbands]

mmm Interesting! I will consider it thank you ^^ yeah but in 500 point games it's probably better don't have heavy weapons in the squads, they will move around to take obj easier ^^ It depends on who is the enemy too ofc

[@eddyastor2724]

@@TabletopWarbands great thx! And yeah you have a point... if any missile lauchers are efficient even on the move since they have frag (d6 shots) and krack for tanks or mid infantry, personal preference though cause they look soo cool hehe

@@eddyastor2724 Hahaha true! I love them too. I may try them again, who knows :D

Another great report guys! It would be great to see a 500 point game with imperial knights to see how they preform

[@TabletopWarbands]

Thank you! That would certainly be worth seeing 😃

[@derloco2035]

There are definetely some brave guardsmen who earned it to get promoted ;) Again a great batrep, thanks a lot guys!

Another awesome battle report, and a promotion for Claudio too, happy days! 🥳

[@TabletopWarbands]

Hey there! Thank you so much

[@SeeSebastian]

YES GUARD WINS! Only advice I'd say is guard should also run heavy weapons too. Missing out on some easy lascannon

[@TabletopWarbands]

I thought about putting them on, but I preferred not to. In 500 points I need to move troops to conquer objectives and heavy weapons squads are penalized for movement

[@DaTrueReality]

This was very sweet. Thank you guys so much. Mom would have really liked your channel, and I've been enjoying it from day one. Keep up the good work, and I'll for sure keep watching, for the both of us. :')

SSSUPER. CADIA STANDS!!!

[@TabletopWarbands]

Oh yeah! 💪

[@RaumschiffA4]

Great BatRep! Always a fan of the guard. This time going first seemed like a sure win. Only the luck of the dice changed that. Small scale games (even bigger ones too I think) really seem to suffer from bad balance hinging on who goes first. Promoted

[@TabletopWarbands]

Yes that's true, I'd like to see something like the kill team mechanics in W40k. An entire turn when an army can do everything at once it's difficult to balance, especially in low points games. Thank you

[@Seoz]

so Claudio got Promoted? :D During the first round as necrons you could use overlord "my will will be done" to increase hit chance of immortals or warriors by +1. Warriors hitting on 2+ are good. Also it would be good idea to run plasmacyte charge first :D

[@TabletopWarbands]

Good suggestion! Yeah probably it was better :V thank you

[@KFK47]

PROMOTED and for the emperor, that was a good game

[@TabletopWarbands]

Thank you!

[@lorenzosanti3440]

I'm not sure if i am missing smt, but why the overwatch against skorpekh does wound automatically?

[@TabletopWarbands]

It's not the overwatch, it's the new Astra rule: Hammer of the Emperor. Every 6 to hit automatically wounds the target when they make a ranged attack

@@TabletopWarbands aaah didn't know it could be applied to overwatch fire too! Nice!!

damn, not sure if i want to play the guard after this awful slaughter. They seemed like cool looking troops, but they really aren’t very durable. But it just goes to show how important armour is for the astra militarum.

By my count think the guard has a win/loss record of 2-5 right now. Always sad to see them lose but I still get hyped seeing them in action and getting the rare win.

in first and seconds rank fire the plasma is "rapid fire 2", 2 hit vs the destroyer 11:19 min

Nope, "First Rank Fire..." works only on lasguns. Plasma don't get the effect of the order.
