Custodes vs Aeldari - Warhammer 40k Battle Report | Thursday Throwdown

The Thursday Throw down is the first of our new series of highly edited battle reports. In this episode featuring the Custodes vs Aeldari in a 2000 point Warhammer 40k Battle Report.
You may know our other show "The Monday Knight matchup" which is another highly editing battle report show we produce. It focuses more on thematic 40k games and more casual play styles, While the Thursday Throwdown will focus less on all the frills of the thematic battles and more on the competitive side of 40k. showcasing meta lists, and a more competitive play style.
This is our pilot episode and tested a few things out via speed of filming such reports for this show and we hope to make it better and better for your viewing experience.

Here after seeing Anthony on playon tabletop!

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

Hey Welcome Dad.hobbies! how you enjoy the vids!

[@Peterjacksonpiolet]

Fun game, Claudio Is a great player. I need to be more aggressive with my warp spiders like that

[@Vadimgameslads]

They always do bud!

[@bilbolikesflix8363]

We all need to play that well! he gets so many reps in with that army, there is no way you can play to his level unless you play as much as he does. don't be hard on yourself

[@MarkMark-ye6wd]

Missed this premier by 30 mins 😢😢 I’ll be at the live stream full of turkey. Good game go Eldar

[@busterbackster1]

It's a Warhammer fact, you only roll a 6 for demise when nothing is around

[@bilbolikesflix8363]

Exploding with nobody around to see it! does that mean the explosion never happened?

[@Allenslickyguitar]

@@bilbolikesflix8363aaaah yes, the old tree in the woods theory

[@alphalegion40k66]

great game ! for Aeldari hahahah

[@scifiasmr]

Good times, happy thanksgiving and 40k!

[@gamerprobetterthanyou]

Enjoyed that, love seeing wraithguard do work

[@Vadimgameslads]

Always

[@bilbolikesflix8363]

Good game lads!

[@bilbolikesflix8363]

Like the new show too. Nice veriaty between competitive 40k and casual between the two shows

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

Agreed!

[@VonMiller-or4ol]

Claudio vs Justin matches are the most entertaining even when Eldar play 😂

[@Vadimgameslads]

Yep I Agree! Anthony is the goofball type player on the channel, their version of POTT’s Space marine Steve. Every channel needs one! It’s fun

[@MarkMark-ye6wd]

@@Vadimgamesladsthat’s the exact thing I was going to say 🤭 the other dude is their SMS

[@bilbolikesflix8363]

@@Vadimgameslads SMS is a great character what's wrong with being SMS?

[@Dabowlwin]

Justin’s reaction on the failed explosion being out of range was so good I pissed my pants

[@Davincicolorpro]

Great battle report here from seeing y'all on play on.....automatic sub! yay more great 40k content

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

welcome to the channel!

[@Dabowlwin]

Watch his reaction in .50 speed slow motion play back it’s even better!

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

slow mo Justin is always fun

[@Carguylove]

That Eldar list was not even fully optimized hahaaaa

[@VonMiller-or4ol]

Btw the explosions were so cool how do you do that? What software?

[@MarkMark-ye6wd]

🎉 I would like to know as well thanks

[@adamwegner2520]

They’re actually real explosions, they used small explosives.

[@Allenslickyguitar]

Great first episode, would liked it to be 10 or so mins longer

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

they'll be 30-35 mins long this was just a piolet episode! thanks for watching

[@allenmvp3467]

Good game, does Claudio think double avatar is a good list for a GT I was thinking of doing that?

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

It is a pretty good idea, just add two Night spinners

[@jonathanmiller5387]

Fun to watch. But a couple of errors. One of which is at 8:10.... your Arachnus Heavy Blaze cannons are Twin Linked. You could've rerolled that third dice wound roll.

[@jefcrow3534]

love your style man keep up the good work!

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

Hey! thanks a lot welcome to the channel!

[@liamfuryfury]

Aeldari list please

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

It'll be up soon check back, Anthony had the wrong list! we are currently giving him an Eldar worthy punishment

[@liamfuryfury]

hehehehe perfect thanks@@NorthernKnightsGaming

[@defeatedhusband1593]

Did he remember that the Callidus Grav Tank has Twin-Linked? Just checking because I didn't see any rerolls on wounds on the first 2 attacks he did.

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

hey! I think he was making those twin linked rolls yeah.

[@JooJingleTHISISLEGIT]

Hm. So now we know: the full deepstrike strategy with custodes both over-splits the army and gives too much of the early game advantage away to be viable--at least against aeldar. (Even if justin hadn't lost his eversore on turn 1, the turning point of the game was claudio's stronghold on the primaries) Additionally, it looks like trying to go shooty with custodes just plays into their weakness too much. even the saggitarum and caladius couldn't get close to equaling the aeldar firepower. (granted there were some unlucky rolls in there too) seems like the most viable strategy for custodes is still to focus on melee combat, maybe supplementing with some caladius as well.

[@RSMVreviewer]

Dayum aeldari so OP this edition

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

Yes they are! but for how long?

[@nobody-ol4ir]

I want the 10 man Guard unit Back

[@spacewolves9033]

Custodes need help

[@newanimal90]

Please paint you minis…

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

We're on it! all our studio armies are almost all painted, when you have 60 thousand points in models it's harder than you think! thanks for watching

[@themainmanmike]

you forgot that the eversor can over watch for free as well.

[@NorthernKnightsGaming]

Hey, he did actually over watch with him for 0 cp it did nothing as far as wounds so we just didn't show it

[@SuperEvilMonkee]

Fire and Fade is 2CP if I recall correctly

[@Gwlyddyn]

Broken top army vs. the absolutely worst army. Yeah..

[@Dabowlwin]

He didn’t even take a top meta list that was a very tame list. No night spinners and he took a WP and fire prism
