BATTLEBOYS - Warhammer 40k - Thousand Sons vs Dark Eldar #1

[@Crazymehahahaha]

Alex’s lonely song was so sad.

[@indiwo1f]

This is too much

[@scottyboyo6236]

i felt the need to hug him lol

[@thomascurtis889]

Austin I cried

[@joelritter1336]

Lewis: "Right, let's begin the game. Now, how far do Rhinos move...? Me: This is going to be a looong game...

[@Overlord-NoiseMarine]

Rubric marines and i believe the standard scarab acult terminators are dust and basically are modtly mindless zombies but any of the sorceror units have a physical for and a mind of their own and are not dust as their psychic powers protected them

[@Mrbeardable]

It makes me so happy to see the youtubers I've followed for coming close to a decade get into the game/lore that I've loved since I was a kid. Please don't stop!

[@navarios1]

@Games Night, Lore wise: Ahriman is actually still a human (how mutated he is is unknown) and he was outcast from the main Thousand Sons legions by Magnus because of what he did (which he feels really bad about, he was just trying to make the Rubrics immortal but accidentally turned them into automatons) which is why Ahriman has been invading Craftworlds to try and find a "spell" to reverse what he did to the Rubrics.

[@ronengaming]

The Rubric only killed the members of the Sons who were the weakest magically. So the more magically adept - IE the leaders - were left intact. It was an attempt to save the chapter from the transformations that they were going under, as the Thousand Sons were a chapter that weren't entirely willing in their conversion to Chaos.

[@alexvincent7248]

Ahem .... Thousand Sons*

[@Rocket88Angel]

''Thousand Suns'' also sounds great. ;D

[@alexvincent7248]

Oh definitely! If Magnus wanted to rebrand he should go with that.

[@Firaveas]

I don't care what they call themselves. And who calls the, by what. Pawns are still pawns.

[@alexvincent7248]

Tzeentch NEEEERRRRRRDDD!

[@LetsTalkGames]

Thank you for making battleboys. Highlight of the week :) Alex the humble shines again ^^

[@CosylandWhispers]

Thousands sons more like thousand suns amirite

[@MinecraftTNT64]

thouSand suns?

[@thedude2122]

You may show yourself out

[@lliamdavis6950]

And that is why you can only smite once per psycher lol

[@itssupermandoe2434]

liking this vid just in hopes it makes alex happy after his super depressing battleboy solo rendition

[@KingBobbito]

Lewis's prison name is going to be Three Smites after Ben sends him to book rules jail.

[@1985Cyrus]

Odd I just got an email from an unknown source just a minute into watching this video it says: #Magnusdidnothingwrong #TheWarpdidit #FuckinFurries #SuckitRuss #ThousandSonsRule! Signed, definitely not Magnus The Red.

[@KingBobbito]

I blame the Alpha Legion.

[@weezact7]

I love the Eldar lore. They were so decadent and hedonistic they created a GOD of hedonism. Then half of them said "woah. WAY too much hedonism. We need to become super spartan now" and the other half said "Let's get even MORE EXCESSIVE AND HEDONISTIC!"

[@iamaminer123]

Blood of the False Emperor, finally some chaos representation (aside from Ben's Dark Angles) on the stream!

[@Firaveas]

Just as planned.

[@indiwo1f]

That Lewis strip, that Sad Alex Song. Rich episode indeed

[@lucybaillieu9588]

So a correction on Lewis' lore All the standard marines are dust but any psykers are fine, so Ahriman and the aspiring sorcerers aren't dust but all the other marines are

[@lukestorey7373]

Magus did nothing wrong!

[@CosylandWhispers]

Luke Storey a true believer! r/Grimdank

[@Wellieshager]

HERTIC

[@Firaveas]

One thing wrong and one thing right. Believing in the corpse emperor then becoming a better pawn of my design.

[@thepaintingfish7489]

Damn Lewis that's a great paint job on your force!

[@DamienFatePlays]

Lewis with the vicious rolls out of the gate!

[@solus4785]

Ahriman did *not* cast the rubric of Ahriman on himself because he reckoned it would have unforseen consequences so he avoided using it on himself so in case the marines he cast it on lost the marines lost their ability to make decisions so he could continue to lead his company. He managed to piss off Magnus the Red by casting the rubric

[@timothyalarcon7273]

Alex, you are the sweetest guy. Lewis you're great too. Thanks for the batrep.

[@joelritter1336]

The rubric only affected the members of the legion that weren't psykers, so only the rank and file of the legion, not their upper echelon, including ahriman, go turned into dust

[@commanderbacara225]

Joel Ritter Sorcerers have turned into rubricae before. Sobek, Hathor, Amon are all examples of Rubricae sorcerers that have turned to dust. Besides, all Thousand sons Space Marines born on Prospero were innate psykers in their own right. Pretty much every citizen on prospero has psychic ability.

[@avianavenjer8387]

Really missed some 40k glad to see you back guys

[@dontbelievethehype11]

Psychic focus means you can't cast the same spell more than once a turn, additonally smite can only be cast once each per psyker in a turn :)

[@vamarock7119]

Also now each smite increase in difficulty by one each successive cast attempt

[@irukapendragon9750]

I like how Alex rolled a one twice

[@daklr2501]

also i can imagine ben working really hard on his dark angels primaris army

[@MrGorillafist]

Finally a bit of chaos representation!!!

[@Dakkapow]

Did they misspell "Thousand Sons" as "Thousand Suns" for a reason?

[@alexvincent7248]

I really hope not because I commented before watching.

[@jonathan2847]

All the thousand sons sorcerers are still human, Ahriman didn't want to turn the thousand sons into dust, but it just happened. It was his attempt to stop the terrible mutations.

[@commanderbacara225]

Jonathan Woollett-Light That didn't stop him from turning his oldest student, his comrades and Magnus' adoptive father into dust. Sobek, Sanakht, Hathor Maat and Amon all turned to dust or died because he pulled the rubric of Ahriman on them.

[@jonathan2847]

Shit happene eh...

[@AlexAttemptsTabletop]

Ohh dust boi’z in the hood. Btw lewis when did you suddenly get so good at painting?! Those 1K sons looking luuuuuush 😩👌🏼

[@Caigul]

lewis likes to storm toms battlefield

[@bastionwargaming7965]

Incubi sqad is min. 5 models not 4 so u can't put them with an Archon into the venom.

[@vishysalmundi9137]

lewis' demon looks like a disney character

[@tribblier]

Oh shit, always been a huge rubrik fan! Glad lew lew is the same!

[@demondude15]

lewis just straight bringing AoS models to a 40k battle. i dig it though.wish i could come up with a decent excuse to get some kairic acolytes

[@chiselion1974]

tom connolley To be honest I'm surprised anyone owns age of sigmar models, look good but it's sooo fucking bad

[@demondude15]

I hate the new setting so much, I want my tomb kings back

[@chiselion1974]

tom connolley yea, I just refuse to look at aos because what I've seen is pure ass.

[@Epicchannelify]

yaboi zeusjuice but the models are pretty... some of us just enjoy painting enough to ignore the aos issues

[@chiselion1974]

gigarax yea i mentioned the nice models, the paints are gorgeous but I'm not going to buy any models unless it's for a weird army I want to make.

[@Epic117]

I miss this

[@szrsplaythroughs]

WOOOOO REPPIN THE THOUSAND SONS. MAGNUS DID NOTHING WRONG!

[@phillipkrzeminski5003]

The play table looks amazing - did Alex make that, too?

[@okamisunakku2198]

Did lewis use a command point reroll to get a free reroll? I feel like he could have cut out the middle-man there.

[@oswaldlorenz8410]

dark eldar time baby!

[@josav09]

I thought all the sorcerers of the thousand sons were still fleshy

[@PureHarry]

They are

[@commanderbacara225]

PureH Nah. Scarab occult terminators were some of the most powerful sorcerers in the 31st Millennium and they still turned into dust in walking suits of armour

[@PureHarry]

Scarab occult terminators were the bodyguards of magnus, not all of them were pyskers.

[@commanderbacara225]

PureH In both A Thousand Sons and Inferno, it is pretty much confirmed that all Scarab Occult Terminators are sorcerers since they are able to act telepathically as 1 unit without needing to talk or relay orders. They all need to pass the Dominus Liminus, a test that can only be accomplished by psykers that would award them a force khopesh stave after passing as well as Terminator Honours. Besides, in the Thousand Sons organisation, non-psykers (mostly Terran) were placed in lower ranks regardless of skill or experience. Also the fact that their recruiting population of Prospero are all psykers to some degree, it's not far fetched to say that all Scarab Occult Terminators are sorcerers.

[@demondude15]

Lewis straight chaining smites because fuck the rules apparently

[@unitedshoelaces11]

where does one get that mat that they are playing on?

[@lexusstormcrow9317]

Gamemat EU

[@gregtaylor7957]

"Whites are fine, actually!" - Small Lebanese Child, 2018.

[@AndresSanchez-lv4ng]

Im just here for the song, ty

[@solus4785]

It's only my favourite chaos marine legion :)

[@MithrenIthilMI]

Committing the ultimate sin by commenting before watching the video, but I'm betting Lewis loses due to crappy dice rolls xD

[@xion7belac]

I only watch the video for the song

[@xenostyrant4118]

I don't care if the stream is over I'm still tempted to correct Lewis's evaluation of Eldar lore, it's correct enough but still wrong enough to be infuriating. Then again I am a bit of an Eldar lore nerd.

[@Y3xStingray]

Bit shit that you completely disregarded one of the major rules of the psychic phase, that a psyker can't manifest the same spell more than once. Ahriman couldn't have manifested smite 3 times by himself.

[@parkersmith8711]

wait so who is Alex?

[@Over9003ish]

I think if they just had general miking, it would be fine without having all of the problems of body miking.

[@fezboy61]

I know its a bit late but Ahriman isn't made of dust. After the burning of Prospero, Ahriman did a ritual to stop the sorcerers from slowly being changed by warp. However, this ritual instead bound any non-psyker to there own power Armour and turning everything inside to dust. Just a hand thing to note. Also get Magnus he's op, rarely fails tests and can cast a 2 D6 Smite.

[@Ebbylina]

A Thousand Sons list without Magnus? Wow

[@Skyscraper125]

DO YOOOOOOOU HEAR THE VOICES TOOO, LEWIS?! CHAOS!... CONSUME US!! I have a World Eater army and I'm quite frankly shocked thousand sons weren't able to handle some IG. Then again the generating attacks for berzerkers in melee gets really out of hand when fighting imperium. People should post their fav/best Chaos army - Trying to mod my World Eaters to ultimate destruction for a tourney in July.

[@lytre_2983]

technically not chaos, but I'm doing time displaced Dusk Raiders army

[@ollie4354]

At least the points for the Drukhari are up to date I guess. Sigh.

[@daklr2501]

ynnari are cool and good

[@rolebo1]

sons not suns

[@jonathanthompson4734]

Pffft who needs rules

[@jamesbrockhouse8710]

Dark Lances not Lascannons boiks

[@jonathan2847]

What the fuck is Lewis' hair?

[@alexmallon5016]

Big nugs eat em up

[@Aysen166]

3rd smite costed 7 to manifest not fucking 6. Lewis is a cheater.

[@DictatorGavlar]

Not watching the video yet but as a Thousand SONS player consider me triggered. Look forward to the battle though

[@scottyboyo6236]

most awkward intro ever

[@haloreaper1018]

I want to hurt the person that ruined the title...

[@Sigoke]

U can only smite once u big nub

[@Delta19501]

So wrong on dark Eldar lore lol

[@krootmen]

Disliked because you called me a battle boy please rectify and i will like

[@kyles5425]

You should try silver tower and have someone like humes or Kim be the dm for it
