40k Cinematic Battle Report: Space Bears VS. Tyranids (10th Edition)

[@TabletopTime]

We have SO MUCH TO SAY - Firstly a HUGE thankyou to Kris from Way of the Brush for his Voice Acting of Apothecary Oshkaabewis. Secondly make sure to check out our sponsors. For the best editing softwware get Da Vinci Resolve here: www.blackmagicdesign.com/au/products/davinciresolve/ - If you'd like to try scanning and making your own cool VFX or just recording your models digitally on PC - www.kiriengine.app/web-version/ also available on IOS or Android. This was such a huge project, we had no idea what we were taking on when we started. We make two videos a week, and our editor Liam edits two videos a week, for him to have achieved what he did, with his FIRST TIME using VFX or unreal engine 5 is outstanding. This has very much been a hobby labour of love for us, stealing time where we could to make it happen. SO many things went wrong, from Mics dying mid recording, to lost footage - But we've made something really special despite it all. And with your love and support, it could be the start. We learnt more by trying and completing this project than we could have just dreaming about it, and we believe we could tackle the next one quicker, and make it EVEN better. Your support, sharing the video, liking, subscribing or even joining our Discord or Patreon will let us know this is worth the effort and commitment. Thank you all so much, this is a fan project, a project of love, and we hope you felt the fun we had making it!

I thought I recognised Kris.

[@Balmong7-y4s]

I’d love to see debrief/behind the scenes video on this. Talking about what worked what didn’t, what you would and wouldn’t do if you decided to do another video like this. How much of the work can be reused in a future video vs how much would have to be redone every single time. That kind of stuff.

[@ewanthompson3602]

THE BUGS NEEDED THE NORM OR IS THAT NEXT TIME

[@humantwist-offcap9514]

Hey, if you guys want some voice acting for a battle report like this again and want some voices, I’d love to record some lines. Been itching to use my voice and contribute to the hobby!

[@thepiratepenguin4465]

This format is way more entertaining than traditional Battle Reports.

[@xxtropic_talesxx3463]

Lol pull a BG3 and set this for a new standard for battle reports? This is sick tho

[@magnusmillerwilson]

I can’t agree enough! The story elements is way more entertaining than just the dry game play.

[@aaronhall7667]

Yeah, this is amazing! I don't play WH (other wargames) but the quality, animation, and story absolutely drew me in. If this is a one time thing, it's awesome, but I hope that they do it more!!!

[@youropinionistrash666]

The difference is not big enough. I think its pretty regular and the dice rolling is missing badly

[@jedne2]

Loved the Warcraft III vibes from the voiceovers and the avatars, good work everyone involved!

[@cookiedudegaming]

THEY DID THE THING

[@bred269]

HOLY SHIT THEY DID IT!

[@crow2535]

THEY DID DO THE THING

[@digidragon1]

It happened!!

[@queryquery1232]

YES THEY DID THE THING

[@michaelerickson7364]

THE THING IS DONE!!!

[@Azazel08]

Very much reminds me of the battles in TTS, the way the narration is done and the fact the characters are actually characterized

[@insanitysektor]

This battle report format is insane. Can't fathom the work that went into putting it together. Great job TTT team!

[@Hukahey]

WTF this is so amazing and Liam has created an amazing visual experience. Can’t believe what I just watched it’s so professional and wow the voices! Well done David and Murray and crew. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@B1ackSwordVids]

Wow what a momentous task it must have been to put this all together! Great work TTT! The scans of the miniatures looked great and the animation was fantastic! Well done!

[@captainking7423]

Please keep up the visuals and the voice acting for these reports. I get bored so quickly watching people do battle reports but this report keeps me interested through the whole thing with the amazing visuals and narration! Great work!

[@PR1SONER24601]

Amazing production values on this! It's a shame not to see some of the cool new Kickstarter minis in action on the tabletop here, but I'm sure that's for the purposes of keeping everything nice and legally distinct. 😉 Congratulations again on a very successful campaign, and I'm looking forward to printing and painting some Space Bears in the very near future!

[@TabletopTime]

Itsss mostly because we filmed this in July

[@iuribranco7593]

Just wanted to say when the screamer killer hit the squad with the wounded character it does not allocate wounds to the character. In the core rules it says even if a character has received damage previously any damage must be allocated to the bodyguard unit

[@TabletopTime]

Wow didn't know that! We did record this JUST after 10th had dropped. Just assumed the wounded models rules hadnt changed! Thanks

[@WinbackRpgRad]

I really hope more people notice this video. This is insanely well crafted, and to see it lost to the algorithm would be an absolute tragedy.

[@magnusmillerwilson]

It’s great to see this, but I have to say that my FAVORITE PART is Kris’s voiceovers as well as the additions of all the Ojibwemowin language. You have my scrambling for my dictionary, and I’m SO EXCITED to incorporate these terms into my new Space Bears army. You did a lot of the work for me of converting their names/titles/types into Ojibwemowin. I excitedly grabbed my 10yr old and told him that not only do we get a new awesome army to print and paint, but it connects to one of my favorite ancestors’ cultures. Thank you for leaning in so hard to the respect for the culture on which this is based. It’s very special!

[@matthewjohnson1415]

Yep, seems about right. I played about 10 campaign games with tyranids and every game against space marines I was completely wrecked by their shooting. Their tanks are so good and the nids really have no answer to it. I kind of felt bad for Murray but I was glad you included a homebrew rule that he got to bring back destroyed units. It probably wouldn't have been as entertaining a battle report if he had been tabled turn 2.

[@olivermorin3303]

You just haven't been using enough big guns. Tyrannofexes, Carnifexes, Norn Assimilators...

[@jajsem1109]

After watching it all, I would love to see maybe middleground between this and the bear/sakura tau fight. It was fun to watch this, but you do not need to go full 3D, when you already have minies and everything. Maybe save it for some special shots?

[@TheViborgcat]

Please do more of these! I dont care if you only release 1 every 3 months lol. The quality of these are amazing and the story telling is head and shoulders above any other battle report out there.

[@pjoter167]

Love the narrative animations. Makes it way less boring than some other battle reports

[@OrrgunUK]

Haha Daves reaction to the repulsor profile 😂 It had even more profiles in 8th/9th so I never used it, couldn’t kept track of what I was shooting at lol

[@TabletopTime]

Genuinely I hated it. Too many guns. Too pushed. Insanity. I come from Chaos, ill fire my predators twin linked lascannon and two lascannons. ok 3 dice. Roll. Wiff. Done. Ez

[@matthewjohnson1415]

@@TabletopTime space marine tanks are incredibly powerful in 10th edition. One of may main criticisms of it is that they can get a really fast floating tank with a ridiculous ammount of guns for around 150 points. Tyranids have nothing that can compete with that.

[@nicon4206]

This is one of the most cinematic and epic battle reports that I have ever seen! And what's better is that we were able to see the entire project start to finish! Well done, Tabletop Time and Jazza!

[@dukedevlan5457]

Ive been waiting since 30k glad to see this now back to 40k P.s love you guyz hope you keep going

[@randifelix]

The Dread was such an awesome character, definitely my favourite. This style of battle is my favourite now 😅

[@blizzardgaming7070]

I love all the models used, I can see Jaza's original squad, the fully 3D printed models and PeteTheWargamer's Squad.

[@bitcoinyoda8321]

One must admit that this is another lv doing battle reports - well done! I hope to see more of this in the future

[@cuylerleonard3920]

Fantastic way to do your battle reports! And so glad to see a game with the bears!

[@Bobb5555555555555555]

This was so well done. Obviously this took so much work but man was it worth it. Never seen a story integrated so well in battle. The pacing was great too.

[@Pylfer]

Love the effects, adds a lot to the overall polish of the video. Appreciate the Starcraft/old school RTS voice over stuff. I get it, I understand what you are doing and respect it. It's not my thing, but props for the commitment.

[@njames6305]

Insanely impressive production. Really raising the bar for what a visual battle report can do.

[@sliderkyon2145]

The only criticism I have is that not seeing the dice rolls feels like there's a big hole missing in the report. Outside of that I absolutely love what you've done here

[@dernerdfriese1608]

One of the most entertaining battle reports ever made in wargaming youtube history! SOOO awesome! 🤩

[@gregb5839]

Well done, Liam! That was great! I really appreciated everyone's hard work!

[@matthewswann2585]

This is incredible. Loved how cinematic it was and such a fun watch. Please please please !!! Do more like this

[@wesleymatthews390]

That was a fantastic vid! Thanks heaps gang. I really love the cinematics and the focus on what happened as opposed to seeing lots of dice rolling around. I actually felt invested in what was happening thematically rather than just abstractly crunching numbers for results! Top Job! =D ---- Oh and Liam? knocked it for a six my man! You got this unreal engine thing!

[@jasonyang2101]

This Battle Report was surprisingly law-accurate. Not that many Space Marines Died. Also, love the narrative and cinematics of this video. Wonder what the battle of the broken church would be like next time. Please let Chaos win.

[@nzk41n]

Guy - I absolutely loved this! I won’t be able to watch a battle report without effects and narrative again! Awesome job

[@chrisantzaras]

Thanks for making this. We all are very happy to watch these reports in all their glory.

[@krzysiekbreiter652]

This was AWESOME!!! I'm always waiting for your videos but this is one of my favourites. A crown jewel in Space Bear saga and a great battle report. I loved the voiceovers and you could feel the chemistry between characters. Keep up your awsome work and I hpe for more narrative battle reports.

[@OriginalTurgeis]

What a beautiful intro and pre-battle model review! Wow, this is really extremely well done, lads. Such a pleasure to watch.

[@TheViborgcat]

Woah the animation on this is top notch! :) So different than normal battle reports. Great job!

[@mrsilverbutton7786]

This is amazing! Found you through the algorithm and I'll be here to stay! The narrative is amazing and I can't wait for (hopefully) more!

[@Toombs71]

Awesome battlereport! It was one of the best if not the best I've seen on the internet. Good job! Hope to see more of this

[@jacktehbongripper]

Oshkaabeewis is my favorite part of the game

[@ghitapaints91]

"I will bring you as close as I can" Proceeds to crash in the middle of the battlefield. Task Failed Successfuly Love the battle report

[@Noa-q6g]

I am so confused but I couldn't stop watching

[@DeanSmith-w2d]

THIS IS AMAZING. It was like every time something would happen in the fighting phase it was a Light Show and every time the movement was amazing as well. I loved the intro and 15/10. Amazing work, keep it up and never stop. Love you guys.

[@cloudsmith8220]

How did we get blessed with such a well executed and cinematic battle report!? This is exactly what I want to see out of play like this! Making our imagination come to life!

[@aceusmusic2168]

It’s obvious that this is a labor of love, it’s insanely well made, great job guys

[@Nigelius]

Ok so pretty much immediately I can see why this took so long, the production quality is top notch. This is great!

[@TabletopTime]

Thankyou! ... we also had to learn how to do all of the... stuff

[@Nigelius]

@@TabletopTime Haha, yeah I can see that taking some time too. Anyway, the team did great and it was so good seeing stuff from past videos make a reappearance!

[@KnudAutlermann]

This was truly beautiful and amazing to see!!! Its so amazing to see our hobby and stories become visualized!!!

[@squaresphere]

I have to complement the whole crew for such an amazing battle report! The pacing was great, the story pieces were engaging and just all the VFX/video work were fantastic!

[@jalahjava_]

Y E S. EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR. Ever since the bears vs the Tau I've been waiting for more. These are so so much more interesting than other battle reports.

[@Tellemicus]

You guys know what you just did? You just raised the stakes! Now, EVERYONE is gonna be expecting this quality from you guys. And I'll bet that the other channels will have to copying this!

[@LeeCarty]

Thanks

[@Jay_Maul]

fantastic job! The work that must have gone into this must have been massive. Keep up the great job!

[@sillpaj]

The roleplay! Usually find combat reports boring BUT this is awsome! Great editing and awsome voices. Love it!

[@ClarissaMeyer]

Liam deserves a raise! Those attack sequences and the intro have turned out fantastic! Those and the voiceovers are my favourite part! Was well worth the wait!

[@mikewicked.x]

That's pretty sweet - i would've liked to have seen the dice rolls, but small criticism in the scheme of things. Great stuff. :)

[@robertchmielecki2580]

I think quite the opposite - hiding this entire long and boring process of superfluous dice rolling off screen gave a nice illusion that WH40K is a fast flowing, player decision oriented game, not a tedious chore of passively watching random numbers being generated for hours on end ;)

[@mikewicked.x]

@@robertchmielecki2580 fair point, it probably would add an extra 5-10 seconds per roll to have that on screen, and it does add up.

[@bitcoinyoda8321]

would love to see the rolls too in a second, smaller window.

[@FerreusVir]

IS THAT WARGAMER KRIS DOING THE NARRATION?! HOLY BALLS!

[@wolas321]

Legit impressed by all the effort put into this. Would love to see something like it again.

[@rowanerickson129]

I would love to get a behind the scenes or making-of video where you guys talk about the process and talk up your team

[@aqua7734]

Definitely the coolest effects I've ever seen in a battle report!

[@AchanCham_]

Absolutely amazing! Incredible job on this video and battle report! In particular, great job Liam! The effects are awesome.

[@SourSlurpee]

yeah this slaps. I grew up in Oklahoma adjacent to tribal land. I won't speak to the accuracy of the space beat depictions, but I would say that their depictions are rooted in love and respect for the culture they represent. It's great to see representation like this.

[@daniellogue8365]

I love the supercut at the end, great little short movie

[@nicholascrouch1993]

Loved this so much. So worth the wait. Give us more! Thank you to the whole team for the effort that has gone into this.

[@guillermoponzsegrelles4168]

What is this quality?!?!?! Soooo cool, immersive and entertaining! Love it all❤

[@commanderguardian7292]

I’ve never been so hyped before! This is amazing!

[@5thterrax]

OMG this is amazing. That opening alone has me sold to more videos like this. Please! Cheers!

[@joaovitorcoppi6120]

Congratz, the level of detail on this is amazing! Great job

[@Lord_Brownie]

Amazing that you were able to translate the psychic impulses and intentions of the tyranids into discernible language.

[@johnshuart7414]

I love it visually, I find the voices for the characters hilarious

[@KevinvL]

It is the best battle report on any platform. Period. I literally had my jaw drop in the first scene turning the 3d model of the bearoplane into the actual piece of terrain. What sorcery. Great Job, Liam! Let‘s hope Geedubbs doesn‘t count this as animation content…

[@Sorokhan88]

Was a very cool battle and the cinematic effects are nice, but for me there is a lack of lisibility about whats really happen on the table.

[@TabletopTime]

Thankyou for the feedback!

[@Sorokhan88]

I felt like I'd heard the Tyranid voice before and realised it reminds me so much of Todd the Wraith from Stargate Atlantis. Great production value as always!

[@athionveretta6204]

FINALLYYYY. We need so many more battle reports please! These are too cool!

[@michaeldouglas249]

This is hands down the best battle report I have ever seen!

Love the cinematics! Could we expect any of the new units (Trackers, Cubs, Biker-Bears) from the kickstarter in the near future? I'm super excited!

[@zephron28]

Well done TTT team, great mix of cinematic and battlereport.

[@laurencepenfold]

Top drawer video guys, cinematics are great. Would love to see a rematch with a Nid army evolved beyond the Leviathan box to some of the heavy hitters.

[@midknight9327]

Doesnt servo skulls gove points when the objectives are next to the OPPONENTS deployment?

[@oddegronroos5231]

If the Warhammer+ Battle Reports were anything like this I would get it. Good job guys!

[@jason-composer]

The drama of the dreadnought getting revenge for the younger Apothecary was awesome, I just wish Murray's tyrannids didn't get SUCH a sorry end of the stick with the games balance ;-; The effects all looked genuinely great and appealing, awesome work!

[@johncloud3823]

Love the way you have done this battle report! 😄

[@james-and-his-stuff]

This might just be the best batrep on you tube

[@matthewjohnson1415]

It's a (almost) Christmas miracle!

[@DaedStarr]

I miss seeing you guys roll the dice. A lot of the fun is watching your reactions to the dice rolls. Also, no one has beat Dave yet.

[@Finixbird1]

That was so much fun to watch! The only critique I have is that the objectives weren't super clear at the start of the game, either a way to highlight or directly point out those objectives and what they mean would be awesome!

[@thecactusnoob8903]

YES, they finally did it. It looks so cool, keep up the good work guys
