JT: "Nick, never splitfire." Also JT, shoots at atleast 3 different greater daemons per turn.

[@legovern98]

@@jtmcdowell2331 I think also the dices betray you way more than they should and Nick saves were way too good. Those greater demons should have been at least half HPs between the first and second turn. Your play was impeccable. The dices were the real culprit today.

[@TravelingAnvil]

The lesson I learned today : Never dont shoot Be'lakor.

[@Gavriel01]

Damn that was brutal AF. Almost wish the dice weren't so extreme so we could have seen more tactical play.

[@andrewt9128]

amen to that. Entertaining in a sense but also kinda boring with how one-sided it was

[@XHobbiesPrime]

It is rough when the dice are so unbalanced.

[@shogunjim4257]

I don't think it was the dice personally. Nick played better, JT made a lot of positioning mistake. I would too, the art of war guys are in another league, their life revolves around competitive 40k.

"The dice. He can't keep rolling like this, can he?" *match is under 40min* Uh-oh

Homie actually brought two greater demons, Kairos, and Be’lakor. Going for the throat with that list, that’s a lot of raw power

[@1Guitar1joe1]

Don’t think the lists were really fighting fire with fire so to speak. JT probably could have won but went for a strat that relied on killing things and when they just didn’t die he was in bad spots and just got mopped up. Was always the underdog for sure but an amazingly painted army and still a great game to watch. Also these eldar losses are doing us lots of favours to stop people hating on them for being broken and OP 😉 haha.

In games like this where it ended up one sided due to the dice gods, it’s always nice to set little goals on what you want to kill when you know you’ve lost.

[@thatguyyoumightfindatthest9807]

Kinda surprised JT doesn't use models like Khaine or the Yncarne. Teleporting out to replace a destroyed unit can be fatal for your opponent if that happens, and halving all damage would be super helpful in a fight like this

[@XHobbiesPrime]

I think JT needs Space Marine Steve to come over and "bless" Nick's dice.

[@TheRustaclut0]

Fantastic battle and love to see daemons. Recently swapped to daemons from death guard due to the greater daemons becoming strong! Truly fun to march them big boys up the board

[@chaosheaven23]

I have to say, I think important to have it in there to show games where 1 side just brutalizes the other; tell dice stories, after all... BUT It feels appropriate to maybe "rerack" such one-sided games and reset for (hopefully) a more balanced experience. I'm glad your guest took a dub away, but as an audience member it was very much a "oh, hes just gonna win now." Kind of thing for me.

[@Orkimedes-sc8ef]

Funny game, but obviously very one sided. JT is such a jewel though, and nice seeing AoW on the channel

[@CrazzlY]

I´m not an Aeldari fan in either way - but this episode was over after 10-15 minutes. I ended up fast forwarding through the whole video after that, which I usually don´t do. I´d greatly apprechiate it if you had somewhat evenly matched armies - it makes way much more interesting videos (and battles) to watch. This was nothing more than a bloodbath, and it was over even before it began.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We do try. But sometimes it doesn't work out that way. But we will continue to try and do it better next time

​@@PlayOnTabletop People always want to see a close game. But when you get games like this, I mean, it happens. Luck, the dice, whatever factor that happens to get this result, its just how it happens sometimes. Not everything can be close and tight. @PlayOnTabletop you guys are top tier. For me, I say, keep punching out the fights when they are like this. This stuff happens, and like you guys and your players say, there is always much to learn in defeat than winning. And I am sure JT will come back with a vengeance in his next match.
