Astra Militarum Vs Tau Empire! | Warhammer 40,000 Battle Report

[@mauritstorensma5854]

2nd battle report asking for army lists in the description, it would be really nice.

[@thesherbet]

Re: Fuel Tanks on the outside of the hellhounds: It was actually safer for flamer tanks to do this so that if the propellant ignited, it would burn relatively harmlessly on the outside instead of cooking the crew, and exploding the tank from the inside

[@Puffuel]

At 30:29 , a murder of Crews? I think they are called a Crews missile

[@brickhill3025]

Love toms army list idea. It's pouring out in flavor.

[@jayteegamble]

This is pre-FAQ but man, the combo of Creed and Born Soldiers makes crappy shooting really dangerous.

[@richardwilton6799]

"the trumpet counts as a flamer" now i just get an image of the guy havind a pint of premithium lighting it and spiting it out thouh the trumpet

[@chrisgrantham-by9il]

I thought the banner allows you to ignore any and all modifiers to hit rolls, so would that not allow you to ignore dense cover modifier to shooting? Thx

[@irwedge]

At about 1:43:22 you rolled for grizzly feast. But had just worked out that Finial 1st banner was close enough to remove hit modifiers ... so no FNP either :)

[@MordianGlory]

Oh damn you are right! Tom and I both completely missed that!

[@stuartcorbett5259]

Love the crossbow reference. Made me chuckle.

[@jamesmoriarty7796]

Wonderful batrep. It’s great to see the two best shooting armies go head to head. I think I’m gonna be putting my pathfinders in a devilfish or keep them I reserve because of those nasty mortar teams.

[@stuartcorbett5259]

For anyone wondering Tom is toning it down. He is a larger than life character and very fun to watch playing games

[@SgtOLi40k]

Colonel Tom representing well with the Gaurd today

[@tomsutton2042]

Tom stealing my Guard army, he better have different hats than mine.

[@rmgaminguk7079]

Mordian said he had to play out of his arse to beat the funny Guard list and he would have lost if the guard bought the obviously very very good leman russes rather than the medicore tank artillery. The mortars are the good artillery. I worry for the Tau in the rematch when Leman Russes are bought, not only would the hammerheads have to focus some firepower on the leman russes I think the leman russes would win the tank battle (particularly if the Tau don't have railguns). Without the tau hammerheads surviving till the end there would have been little of the tau left to reach turn 4. Great entertaining battle report. Think the Guard will be do very well against the Custodes as well.

[@kerrmitchell6560]

about an hour in Tom charges stealth suits in cover. Are the ruins not defensible? do they not give 5/6 overwatch or + 1 to hit in combat ?

[@warshrew5080]

Poor master of ordinance getting forgotten and left behind :P haha

[@magosmallen2973]

I hate slow rolling. I desperately want to call my commissar over every time I see it

[@MordianGlory]

Oh so do I, I only did it as a joke to annoy Tom xD

[@CardinalGamingLounge]

I feel like this may have been much easeir of a time for Tom if he had a couple Russ and or a Dorn

[@MordianGlory]

I tried to tell him xD

[@zacnoel2926]

I have perfectly good faith that our humble Guardsmen make fine fishermen. Fingers crossed.

[@redcorsair14]

Ghost keels are not the worst thing in the codex. They are just heavily overshadowed by better things for the same role. Stealth suits underrated? Those things are awesome for secondaries

[@russ5838]

You can’t beat some good toilet humour boys, love your battle reports I will have to buy some Tena pants as I keep nearly peeing myself laughing, LOVE IT.

[@alessiogiuffrida6172]

@Mordian Glory : doesn't the big bull"""t banner of doom also negate the -1 to hit for artillery, so with take aim order they shoot on 3+?

[@michelecastellotti9172]

aaaaah, excellent job my comrades, these barbarians learned their lesson on this day

[@joelwashere5382]

0:39 Hilarious 😂

[@rolfsturm9930]

Great battle report

[@tautactics]

It’d be nice to see your lists…

[@Stuffandstuff974]

Guess the kroot are having surf and turf irrespective of who wins

[@4TheLion]

For the Greater Good

[@christianchimienti2510]

crispy fish

[@chae7684]

Have you seen the new tau boarding action box with farsight? Would be a good addition to the heresy that is your tau army

[@PlasticusForkus]

Is that the stock of a Russian light machine gun propped up in the corner when you accuse Tom of rolling a 10 about 2/5ths in?

[@MordianGlory]

Yeah buddy! RPK for the win!

[@traitorouskin7492]

guard list looks like mine but I have run sentinels.

[@talaananthes]

How much of your funny British military voice thing is entirely a sharpe reference? Because there are a few that I picked up on that are definitely sharpe but I don't know how much of it is just generic mocking the upper crust

[@MordianGlory]

Oh a lot of it is Sharpe references or parody xD

[@talaananthes]

@@MordianGlory I crossed the bridge sah! That's my style sah!

[@talaananthes]

@@MordianGlory in the US, Even most Warhammer nerds are extremely unlikely to have seen those so I love it lol. Are they more part of the nerd culture in the UK? Or just a personal thing? Doesn't really fit my theme for tallarns, should probably rewatch Lawrence of Arabia and Ben-Hur haha

[@K4STELLAN]

Longstrike? More like NO-strike!!! xD

[@merlinbeast101]

Get that mans DOGS out of the shot

[@jazzj2]

with so much infantry, why not play dal'yth? light cover on all your fire warriors and stealth suits (which essentially means stealthsuits permanently have 2+ saves in range), and kroot get access to mont'ka or kau'yon

[@AndrBR0]

Smart missile system? More like Smart Plate System)

[@NoName-lo9ym]

Death Korps Engineers have a 4+ save - when you fired the AP-1 Missiles at them that ignore cover - they would have had a 5+ save! Also - why didn't they throw an Acid Gas Bomb at those wretched Stealth Suits? Could have gotten some AP-3 action in there with Take Aim!

[@MNman87]

why not just take the platform off the basilisk and call it an earth shaker battery?

[@chrisbeaudet5258]

You can do that!?

[@redgreen09]

well yes fore greater good and yes if dout throw more men at it shud bring more tanks like see this dun in dawn of war but see new vids as new is posted or will EYE ???

[@gankistani9528]

Heresy Detected.

[@aronrowley411]

More like mong strike!

So the T'au Word fur human is actually Gue'la. Gue'vesa means human helper and refers only to humans that serve the T'au empire

[@MajorZero508]

Double special weapons? Hasn't that been FAQed?

[@griffin5653]

It has but I’m pretty sure that this was filmed before the FAQ dropped
