Hey Nick! Where can a guy get those order tokens you are using?

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Thank you for another battle report!

[@williampuddester-rose9904]

you should definitely try out a tyranids vs necrons 40K in 40 minutes Warhammer battle

[@kelsonv642]

I love Nick's infectious energy in this video. It was clear James was getting frustrated / disheartened by the first 2-3 rounds and wanted to throw in the towel , but with Nick going out of his way to celebrate his own tank blowing up and offering James a high five it seemed to completely turn James around into having a good time. That's what this game & hobby is all about, and if I am able to ever play a actual in person game I hope its in a welcoming setting like this. Keep up the great work guys :)

[@JimJones-ur3el]

There's a reason he won best sportsmanship at toss yer cabers. A charity tournament in Vancouver.

[@RMCbreezy]

He really did have good energy. Its only hit me recently that to truly enjoy some things in life you have to wholeheartedly roleplay

[@burroc5536]

People should never get frustrated with toy soldiers. Glad Nick takes that too heart and helped his opponent remember the fun.

[@tanker7107]

totally agree, Nick is the wargamer we all ought to be more like!

My favorite army (guard) and my sons favorite army (Orks). Going to watch this together and cheer for our teams.

I thought you said your "favourite son" at first, and had a chuckle.

[@357Dejavu]

@@Dylfunkle lol!

your son sounds like a smart cookie!

It’s the opposite for me. My favourite is guard and my dad’s favourite is orks.

Best part about running Kriegers is that if they win the battle or die it’s a win-win

"We're not good at this game, or at least throwing dice anyways" feel that

[@Pretz_Pretzel]

I’ve been scouring youtube for a stompa in any battle report for 10th since I’m building one. My prayers have been answered.

[@JimJones-ur3el]

Yes, tis I Gork or possibly Mork😂

[@Pretz_Pretzel]

@@JimJones-ur3el Thanks for replying Jim, how does a stompa play to you? Strengths and weaknesses? I know a main pro of it is being able to just tear armor apart and it's great for objective sitting with a mek.

[@JimJones-ur3el]

I've played it in a couple games, found it to be very swingy. Opponents with strong anti armour chew it up, but if it gets to their lines it's devastating.

[@troutwarrior6735]

Haven't watched it yet, but I can already tell Nick doesn't have enough anti-tank. This edition has done our tanks dirty 😂

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

[@milomoran582]

Nothing against trying stuff out but his lists just seem to lack slightly on pure firepower/damage output. A guard gun line should have killed the morkonaut first turn, 1 damage rolls or no.

[@milomoran582]

He has enough orders to improve his infantry shooting but not really enough to make the tanks as effective as they can be

[@troutwarrior6735]

@@milomoran582 In his defense it's basically impossible to have a tank gun line supported by orders unless you bring the Lord Solar. This is because Tank Commanders suck so much.

[@kirbyball97]

Eh, the whole edition is elites or vehicles. It's very boring.

[@TheLordVallon]

James's enthusiasm for his orks is such a joy.

[@JimJones-ur3el]

Lol WHAAAAAAGH!!!!

[@ashull5539]

Although Nick loses many guardsman and vehicles, he has the spirit, the tenacity, and the overwelmning fun zeal to raise our heads whether friend or foe! Truly an inspirational commander!

[@Dre0oq]

Man that army intro for the Guard really hit me. They're so striking in all the black and gas masks, especially the rough riders. Beautiful but menacing.

[@thefloridaman41]

Love seeing the huge (formerly Super Heavy) models. Great to see one carry a list. Great battle

[@mattmanchip9419]

Bruh, I got news that a year long plan has been a success and can come into operation tommorow, and this is the most wholesome bit of my day

[@memeweirdguyn.0019]

I lowkey love this game for all the "well that's how tabletop works" Orks not hitting anything at the beginning Guardsmen killing so much of the Dakka boys All of the big machines of the orks didn't made as *much* damage as they could in-lore It was so fun and heartwarming seeing Nick lifting James spirits but Emperor damm was fun to imagine this playing out like a completely insane lore story

[@DaOrkistBoyAround]

As one ork player to another ork player. Love you James, lowkey thinking of picking up a stompa has a passion paint

[@JimJones-ur3el]

Love you too😜😘

[@jackcarmenta1275]

Living the content. Don't miss any 40k in 40mins. Has inspired me to start collecting again (haven't played since 2nd).

[@timleach3366]

Yeah, they got me back in and I last played in 2nd when I was a kid. It's been super fun so far.

[@myownaccount5058]

I love it when the knocker’s slobber 11/10

[@Admiralkirk95]

The guard seemed to have it, but the Orks kept that fighting spirit up and played (surprisingly)smart taking objectives. When the reinforcements arrived the rubble slowed them, but their hearts were still in the fight.... until they saw the last initial defenders die on the far objectives and a giant towering stompa to their right. Their charges, and hearts falter. The surprise fails and the men see the commanding control the orks have over the battlefield and run. Excellent play, glad he stuck it outside the abysmal start, but a few lucky moves(And unlucky ones from his opponent) and objective play earns him the last second turn around.

[@walther_brock7214]

Reinforcements rushing in: CHARGE! Dice: NO. Narration: The harried, panting Imperials gazed up at the smoking, sparking behemoth of steel and realized they were too late. It was not by much, but it was enough.

[@redfoxvoice]

Love it! Felt perfectly narrative to me. Imagine arriving late, seeing the death and carnage ahead of you, fallen commanders and tanks, with the looming stompa still fully operational... Time for a tactical retreat into the walls!

[@moderndavinci6599]

I think the Kriegers forgot to apply the sacred oils to their weapons, those damage rolls were something

[@gore6065]

love to see a stompa come in clutch against the odds like that

[@dylanbyrum8555]

So this channel got me to make the jump from Killteam to full 40k. Sorry, Nick, but I went ork, and I love them! Also, my favorite part of this entire video is the error pop-up on nicks backdrop lol

May be a bit of a long shot, but for the next combat patrol video could you do admech vs. Drukari, my friend is try to learn this edition and seeing people with much more knowledge than us play our matchup would help him a ton. Love you videos have a great day

[@JimJones-ur3el]

Thank you

[@mjhsinclair]

Wow. Amazing come back. I can't help feeling too much shooting was put into the Stompa without enough to kill it - that could have made more of a difference on the smaller units taking all the objectives at the end. Great game.

That was a great game. The miniatures looked amazing, the table looked amazing, the editing is brilliant, and it looked like you both had fun. Thanks for sharing!

[@psychobeam99]

Honestly I love militarums vehicles more than the army itself. That said Orks are my second favorite just because they strap shootas to anything.

[@user-ho1fg8xm3i]

great batrep

[@cavedog1989]

9:09 the tank commander cannot reroll 1s that is the battlecannon leman russ ability. the tank comander gets orders, vox net for 12" orders, and shoot on death on a 2+. also since he has the armored sentinel, it does not have the pick a target and get rerolls 1s against said target that the scout sentinels get.

[@leonid321lavasas3]

mazing thank you very much for the great content! Can someone please tell me what was the reason for reroll 1 on the tank commander? I just recently started playing and didn’t understand this point

How different would this game have gone if the Imperial Guard had focused down the Stompa first instead of the Morkanaut ? Would it have been possible or would if have taken too many turns?

[@lordilluminati5836]

the morkanaut would have taken out the commander, which might have helped or made it harder for orks to score assasinate

[@anvos658]

The answer is targeting the Stompa instead of street sweeping is the only reason the Orks were even still in the match.
