Thanks so much for having me on the stream and was such a fun game to play.

[@kronnusalpha8480]

Astra Mili-what?! You're in the guard, son....

[@CFox9]

This comment just reminded me of Miracle of Sound - The Grind, which I think would work as a guard song if you placed C.O.G with guard

[@TableTopLive]

Finally got to meet Stephen at LVO, an awesome guy. I had signed up for his course in the early days of 9th and it felt great to meet a pillar of this community in person!

[@nightman8299]

Always like to see Stephen go head to head with the regulars. Really highlights how good communication can make 40k even more enjoyable, especially if you don't know the armies.

[@user-ng7wr3he2i]

I love it when 2 of my favorite 40k content creator channels go head to head!

POV: You said something about something being fallen and now the 9ft tall demi-god turned off friendly fire.

[@seanscanlon2000]

Thank you guys. And to Mr. Box thank you between both of your shows I have gotten back into 40k last year after a long hiatus (3kids under 3) Nick and crew you guys gave me the motivation to get back into painting and modeling Stephen you and your crew brought me back upto date with the rules and all of what is going on. Seriously thank both team you guys do amazing work

[@VanguardTactics]

This is why I love working with Play on. Welcome back to the hobby buddy. I hope we meet someday at an event

[@Prometheus_Williams]

Stephen Box is a cool guy. Always a gentleman. I heard he’s going to make an appearance on the Disgustingly Resilient Podcast 🏆

[@VanguardTactics]

Thank you so much that’s incredibly kind of you to say.

[@chaosof99]

As an austrian I just want to say that the Falco reference was highly appreciated.

[@eagle_gaming580]

Nice to see more guard

[@bldos5362]

Y'all ever thought of giving Nick decaf coffee?

[@The_Penguin_8964]

Astra Military LET'S GOO~ Though most of us are having a hard time🙈

[@NBeaver-bx4yl]

damn ! glad to see some inner circle companions claping !

[@josetrevino7143]

Halfway through this video and this must be the best battle report I ever seen since Bone was on Tabletop Tactics.

[@kevincamarata2410]

What was the DA list? Love the new inner circle models.

[@mlegion7898]

I think Nick is such a fun loving, nice guy..... Stephen will take him apart.

[@mrwicked4481]

In Stephens first turn charge he charges the tank straight through the wall. I know infantry can nice through the terrain but I thought on a charge you can't go through you have to go around. Is that not the case?

[@silverpauldron]

infantry moving through ruins is an exception to any kind of move, including a charge move.

[@probonomechanic]

1:12:51 what is playing in the background?

[@robertandersen4164]

No one remembers Armored Might. -1 to damage on your tanks...Baneblade would live with like 10 wounds

[@PlayOnTabletop]

That’s a… really good point!

[@redvsblue299]

Unfortunately no the only shooting on the banesword was the one shot from the lancer and armored might is a shooting phase only strat so no benefit against melee

[@robertandersen4164]

@@redvsblue299 ah yeah, good call.

[@123thebigdog]

I feel like I’m watching a gulf game with jt. Awesome job.

[@mournivalof4]

Not a fan of the Sniper shots I know its for fun but i thought it ruined the game.

[@Olla1992]

Does anyone know where the mat is from? love the looks

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I believe it’s a frontline gaming one.

Hmm...the engineer is a lone operative when near a vehicle

[@GM-rs2fv]

Mortarion + PBC completely wrecks my DA dreadnought castle with a darkshroud. Free stealth doesn’t matter, cover is less important ignoring the hit roll and the -1 dmg on the dreadnoughts is ignored. Brutal and gg Death Guard

Turn 4 on t1?

The amount of Google Ads in this video is insane. I got an ad every 6-8 minutes. As soon as Google knows people will watch a video until the end, they arent afraid to spam ads... That being said, great game!

[@cyberscythe9774]

See a nids vs necrons live, that'd be a wet moodle fight lol

[@Calibrett0]

JT's disturbing radiohost voice really gave me the creeps! You should do audiobook work man!

This sniper shot thing is a bit weird 😮

[@ivanvandijk27]

the video is very stuttery for me (im only 20 min in)

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Sorry we had some latency issues at first that resolved over a bit of time

[@kosherbeefcake]

Need some closer shots of the action, IMO. Less exciting just watching two dudes roll dice from 10 feet away.

[@PizzaPartify]

anyone else cringe at the really awkard laugh at 02:30 ?

[@drdotts8878]

Using one unit to cleanse 2 objectives seems kinda gamey. They’ve never let you use one unit to complete two instances of an action. It seems like an obvious oversight in the rules

[@VanguardTactics]

Why is it an oversight? Have you considered that it might be on purpose to help those factions with minimal units to help them out when it comes to play the mission?

[@mrambrose8382]

Not A DA army in my view... Play standard SM bro.

[@bpayne88]

Why does the guy pitching the academy to us keep asking how stuff works?

[@VanguardTactics]

I find it’s good habits to check your opponent’s stats to ensure you make the right decisions at the table. There are far too many data sheets in the game to remember all the units and weapons so there isn’t any point trying. Most important thing is ensure you get your army rules on point.
