Adeptus Custodes vs Tau. DrRhino Challenges Nick! Warhammer 40k in 40m

[@redrenegade7724]

Nick employed excellent psychological warfare in emphasizing the supposedly unkillable devilfish.

[@keadonboze968]

Holy crap he really did

[@josharko111]

Yeah that was such a clean bait right there

[@SStoj]

He also told him he was using Mont'ka but set up a classic Kauyon

[@BakerOrDie123]

That's CIA level psy-op.

[@The_Art_of_Music_Official]

Oh for sure

[@zachnoland155]

These are the coolest custodes I've seen so cool to see something different than an ocean of gold

[@Nidhoggrr]

I am also sick of the gold so mine are getting a black and purple scheme.

[@idkimnotcreative8974]

Gold is superior to all tho

[@nathanlittle9048]

I like the shadow keepers myself

[@lordbiscuitthetossable5352]

I personally have taken to black, Gold/Copper trimmings, white helmets and red cloaks. I like to reflect that these guys are still in mourning, but nothing can stop the black parade now.

[@IdiotandOpinion]

Are they third party models?

[@Niteshiftmonkey]

Honestly I watch these videos because the players make the full game of 40k so enjoyable to see play out. The games often come down to watching two players cheer as the Dice Decide and genuinely happy for each other as they make hits and saves. Also the high-end production design and skillful voiceovers make tracking the action and battle concepts super easy to follow.

[@Flowfully]

its like a sports championship :)

[@Eviscerator18]

Well said

[@firebert123]

Exactly the same reasons here. I play Orks so i dont win much, but damn if it isn't fun to just be a big tide of hooligains krumpin their way across the battlefield!

[@en4cer]

Anyone not doing that needs to chill it’s a dice game… it’s just fun to see it play out

[@FnRenner]

Wish we could have seen a full 2k points game between these two. Now to wait until mid 2023 for the next Custodes match

[@BillyBob-rh4jk]

Ikr the lack of custodes armies in their battles makes me a little sad, so when I saw this vid I was like 😩

[@FnRenner]

@@BillyBob-rh4jk when I saw the length of the video I instantly knew the Custodes got smoked, sadly

[@QrazyQuarian]

Custodes are criminally-underrated, especially when you look into their lore.

[@FnRenner]

@@QrazyQuarian agreed. If you don't wanna look into the lore than look in to the points cost per unit. Custodes should be a top tier army instead of a golden mid tier bike blob.

[@bombarded15]

How many points is this? Would be really nice if they went over the armys in detail or put the lists in the description

[@louditalian1962]

When he said “I forgot how much fire power Tau have” I knew this was a victory for the Tau.

[@matiasagudelo4530]

The Custodes are really nerfed in the tabletop for some reason...

[@mandrew3331]

From what I have seen, Tau are a little too OP.

[@buckwild6759]

Tau OP???? Tau are great at shooting that's it, considering AC are top tier and Tau are bottom in the tournament rankings AC should not really have lost this.

[@buckwild6759]

@@matiasagudelo4530 Nah you just need to be selective with your units tbh as they are expensive in points they're shooting is pretty good the problem is Custodes Melee is amazing Tau are good at shooting at range and Custodes can't really get in guy needed a Cladius tbh.

[@mandrew3331]

Ok thank you for the correction. I am just now breaking into the 40k table game, so my mistake. @@buckwild6759

[@neovo903]

That bait with the breachers and devilfish was perfect. Getting those custodes out into the open in front of such a formidable gun line was a play which almost(?) decided the game Turn 1.

[@Thoughtsmith]

Nick is on a mission to prove Tau can melee.

[@lane9668]

Farsight isnt a hugely threatening beatstick, but he hits awfully hard for being 130 points and shooting pretty good.

Rhino's Custodes have a great look, its like Inquistor or Dakr Angel custodes

As a recent fan of the 'Todes, gotta agree. Love the color. If I ever buy into them, that's my color scheme.

[@TheArkannon]

I love seeing how far Nick has come since his first Melee Tau game all those years ago. I really love that he hasn't just abandoned that, and has managed to incorporate it into such a formidable army. Always love it!

Awesome battle report, great work guys. In such a short battle report it can he hard to keep track of what is going on, but the switch to top down camera angle, animations and the narrator commentary really helps it easy to follow everything. The sacrifice of the breacher and Devilfish was a classic life that bought the custodes out into the killing field. I agree with the narrator that putting the bikes in reserve was likely a mistake. When the custodes moved out they needed to move out with everything to overwhelm the Tau and leave something that can charge the main Tau lines.

[@mateubalcells9294]

This games are great! The players make it super intresting and the animation and the great voicover makes the game super easy to follow. Imfeel like these vids improve every week. Great job guys

[@jczerzzz]

just wanted to let Nick know that he inspired me to start Farsight Enclave as my first army! So far I'm loving them just as much as I loved to watch this vid! Thanks for the content y'all are doing wonders for the hobby!

[@QrazyQuarian]

As always, professionally-done with the editing. Always a treat to see some fantastic action. Custodes are criminally-underrated and a rare, but beautiful, sight to behold. Thanks for the game, it cheered up my dreary afternoon.

I appreciate that we have a Custodes army that arent all the same gold color like everyone else

[@galdorofnihelm6798]

they also have very special helmets, which I thought was really cool, kinda reminds me a little of the danish frogmen, I wonder if he made the custom helmets or got them from some other units (im not very experienced at all with wh at all, just been looking at it and considering when I have more time/space/money, so I might be wrong)

DrRhino is incredible and streams about miniature painting over on Twitch www.twitch.tv/drrhino_

[@xGamermonkeyx]

Absolutely brilliant game, one of my favourite in a while! DrRhino's gorgeous Custodes were in for a nightmare fight from the start to be fair, but Nick was and extremely gentlemanly opponent in deliberately not spending CP to do certain things during the game to make it more interesting. Just generally good sportsmanship all round.

[@drrhino_]

He's a gem for sure!

[@thatoneoctopus7494]

You switched up the names of the stratagems nick, "Pulse onslaught" makes it so that hit rolls of 6 either auto wound or score an additional hit, the stratagem you used in turn 2 is actually called "Relentless fusillade" at least, I think so anyway

[@rayyansarkar198]

[@kylehunter6968]

Been a subscriber for 2 years now, love this channel so much. I have always wanted to play 40k but because of its cost and my inability to paint (which makes things more expensive cause I gotta get someone to paint models for me...which takes money turns out) I have only collected Aun'Shi, Shadowsun and 3 XV22's that look finger painted lol. It is wonderful to live vicariously through these games, especially any involving Nick because Tau are the best and that guys paints them better than any I have seen! Also love how you always play them so differently every game and so much differently than they are typically seen being played. Yall might become the first ever patreon that I ever subscribe too!!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

That’s so kind of you to say! Thank you for the support!

[@VenomBurst]

by the emperior! those custodes look amazing. i too didnt paint mine gold, but rather went with a knight silver with copper accents with royal blue cloth. making the combination allowed me to give them a steam punk knight theme across the board. combine that with some green stuff and it all came together pretty nice. cant wait to see more of your custodes in future games. your giving me ideas ;)

[@Flowfully]

@@CMTechnica the Tomb world series was really well done, i think that with the effects, and those pre battle moments where its a battle montage going on with voices, that and i totally also agree on the grey knight vs chaos, but maybe more of a chaos demon force with more smaller models like something right out of one of those grey knight novels you hear about

There's actually several battle reports kinda like that in PlayOns channel. There are several Apocalypse battles that are simply gigantic, with over 8K points on each side. And there's a couple of narrative battles that involve 20K+ points of models. All of them are great fun to watch, and I have seriously considered getting Apocalypse just because of the BR's here. Sadly I don't have any fellow WH40K players within range for all-day-long battles on weekends.

2017 was around the end of 7th edition, I think, right? It's worth noting that tournaments are being won by the top 10 armies in the game now, whereas back then there were only 2 or maybe 3 armies that had legitimate shots at winning tournaments. The balance between competitive armies seems better than ever at the moment, so if that's why you quit in 2017, nows the best time to come back!
