Everyone always talks about how good Fletcher is at painting, but let's give Beard his flowers! His Iron Warriors look AMAZING

[@stevenrainey7504]

Beard forgetting that IW ignore cover.... SMH. Also it's all forms of cover so they ignore light and dense.

[@tommoolenaar3901]

They should call him 'Stubble' until the glorious beard is regrown.

[@seangeorgepierce]

Chaos cultist stubble.

[@pt1457]

Oof, I think our boys were forgetting that Terminators with SS still have a 1+ Lots of those -1 and -2 AP weapons should have still granted them a 2+ and 3+ respectively. Great game all around though!

[@coldpsyker1354]

They also totally forgot Iron Warriors ignore benefits of cover- so both light and dense dont matter

[@thegorefatherdonkhorneleon5159]

Storm shields were always imperial welfare anyway

[@TheTouristArrives]

Hearing Spider call “Cut!” off-camera is a nice feel. ❤️

[@bradleygunther5722]

It's killing me every time they forget termies with Storm Shields have a 1+

[@Razma666]

For real

[@jamu8060]

...wait really? Damn.

[@NANA-lq5md]

I'm just now watching this and was going to say the same thing.

[@randomcommenter4719]

And forgot that Iron Warriors ignore benefits of cover.

[@benjaminolson8951]

It almost looks like they are forgetting storm shields, while negating AoC, they still give +1 to armor saves effectively still giving AoC. Or am I missing something? It could be that they are moving on faster than I can comprehend, lol, and the commentary is confusing me!

[@ShameyBaby]

I thought this too. Surely the termies would be saving on 2s because with the SS they have a 1+ sv.

[@bb7115]

Sadly, Aoc and ss don't stack, its one or the other

[@Jelle1880]

@@bb7115 I think they mean that even though they don't benefit from AoC, the Stormshield they have still adds +1 to save rolls, keeping them on a 2+ standard save.

[@bb7115]

@Red_Dog1880 my bad, somehow I read it as he thought they stacked. Now I reread it, I definitely didn't read it properly 😅😅

[@CBus-gf4id]

I felt the frustration in Beard’s laugh at 13:47 in the very depths of my soul.

[@declanpm8578]

Here's hoping we some Space Wolves soon, it's been a whole year since we last saw em!

[@mateofantasma]

Those Iron Warrior Obliterators are incredible. So nicely painted. Rad.

[@IamElChapo]

Beard you forgot those extra hits on sixes with one of the chaincannons!

[@michaelhansen2309]

These two together are always a riot 😂

[@matthewwasserman3179]

Thanks for playing DA Bard. Good to see them. I know they aren't in the best place competitively.

[@SergioGironheim]

Incredible camera movements when you show the armies 😍

[@davidedwards267]

Will the Dark Angels uncover the mystery of James’s dice rolls?

[@tabulasmara]

Do you guys have a vid of a Knight being mixed with another army battle report? Thinking about doing that and I would like to see how it does with you guys

[@achillechabran3510]

congratz! i've never subscribed this fast to a channel! love your vibe

[@PaulIsBadAtStuff]

That looks like a fun Iron Warriors list!

[@milkyzg3542]

positive energy and vibe in this game is wonderfull. I enjoyed this batrep so so much. Thank you Beard, Bard and Spider. Great stuff 🤗

[@bretticus6722]

Chaos Vs Chaos love it 😀

Awesome stuff!

[@philipfreeman4029]

Always a great bat rep guys ,merry Xmas and a happy new year ,cheers phil

[@chrisfinnegan4103]

Forgot your re-roll wounds against 8 wounds or more, and character in the assault doctrine! Great game though. Love seeing dark angels out!

[@hugodelafuente3926]

Can't against IW's

[@thomasdewitt9407]

Mr Beard went from handsome to drop dead gorgeous with the stubble

[@maxchapuis6256]

I discovered your chanel through the Iron Legion / Emperor's Children battle. Thank you guys, it is a true pleasure to benefit from your british crazyness and humor. Really loved the vibes, aswell as the amazing conversions and paintings. Really inspiring for me. Iron Warrior player ! I'm graceful to have seen your Lord Discordant conversion : it had inspired me my own one, made with pieces of Defiler, bike, terminator, sorcerer staff, chainblade and doom siren. Keep it up guys, thanks for the amazing content. This way of doing Battle Report is the only one I like, true master pieces ! Cheers from France

[@tabletoptactics]

Thanks for the support and glad you like it! Welcome to the channel!

[@Tanuvein]

I was going to like the video anyway, but you instantly got one for the Event Horizon reference.

[@corvaxblackfeather6529]

The Obliterators are like : FROM THE TOP ROPE !!! When they crushed those Bikes ;)

Happy Holidays to all the members of TT, if GW made a 40k Santa model, which faction do you think he'd be under?

[@geronimo8159]

Logan Grimnar already exists 😛

[@LaMDoH123]

Beard, I love the aesthetic of your army. Might want to crib it a bit for my loyalists. Questions: what did you make the rapier carriers out of, what did you use for the crane on the spartan, and what helmets do you use on your space marines?

[@DaFalk216]

Pretty sure the Rapier Carriers are Mechanicus Kataphron tracks^^

[@daemonnexusknight]

Just wanted to let you know that the Spartan was updated on 09/21/2022 to state that the Possessed take up 2 slots per model. :) Love your BatReps! I'd probably watch even if I didn't play Warhammer. :D

[@Cadian101st8]

Sons of The Lion stand and Fight. As interrogator Chaplin Bard leads us against Warsmith Beard and These the sons of the Lord of Iron. For the Lion And for the Emperor!

[@alexou857]

The details on these miniatures are insane. If I would do that on mine, it would take me ages to finish it lol.

[@dumplin4311]

Did Beard role the correct amount of dice @ 42:20? It seemed like a lot of models were out of engagement range, but I've been wrong before.

[@DJRaffa1000]

where/how did you get that portal in the middle of the table, it looks awesome and i kind of want one 😅

[@vincentlarochette2501]

Thank you !

[@josetrevino7143]

That first movement phase of the Dark Angels was fun 🤩

[@ThijsSchrijnemakers]

the nameplates at the intro are golden

[@MegaOblivionmaster1]

Beard I honestly believe that the Laser Destroyer weapons on the spartan are better. It's less shots but it's better strength ap and damage. Just my thoughts. Love seeing the Iron Warriors played as they are my army as well

[@simonellis7303]

Merry Christmas to all of you bosses at Tabletop Tactics! You are the best in the 40k business 🙂❤️

[@omegaumbreon2089]

3:06 this may sound a bit weird but is that master of possesion a new model or just kitbashed?

[@noirceuillesombre3472]

You guys have the best theme music. Epic riffs 🎸🎸🎸🤘

[@markweevil3985]

Hi! You know what would be cool - when the new enclosed space fighting rules come out you should stage a rescue mission to break Ignis out of the Rock!

[@infantryman2781]

how did you add the spartan LR??

[@gregironside]

Totally worth sticking to the end! 😂

[@wheelcha1rman2]

That was a fabulous punch up.

[@NANA-lq5md]

This is perfect, my two favorite armies.

[@traitorouskin7492]

I don't know how beloved servo skull stays quiet. you two nutters enthusiasm is infectious.😀

[@jonpalmer5251]

When Beard shaves, he bares a striking resemblance to Jimmy Garoppolo, Quarterback of the 49ers

[@TheRB3]

I'm torn between Dark Angels and Salamanders as a first Space Marine army to paint. Suggestions and Advice would be appreciated.

[@lupuskonig9]

The energy in this battle report is wonderful! Great game lads

[@LordCommanderJoe]

Hi everyone! Needing some advice, currently building my first proper army. I’ve gone imperial guard have the Cadia stands box and and box of Tempestus scions to get me going. I’ve got a custom regiment design sorted and some named characters in mind, my big question is about command squads. Can you customise them? For example could I put a couple of Scions and an Ogryn in there? And does anyone have any advice or tips in terms of the build that I should do for my army? Thanks in advanced

[@majorearl12]

How does Inner Circle make the Spartan wound on 4's? Based on the codex and the updated rules its only units with the Infantry keyword and the Spartan doesnt have that.

[@Bilboswaggins_1]

Inner circle relates to the deathwing, you can’t wound them on anything except 4+, so the Spartan can’t wound on 2/3’s like it should do

[@majorearl12]

@@Bilboswaggins_1 I understand that. But the codex itself says that only those with the INFANTRY keyword are affected. I also pulled up Battlescribe and decided to put a Spartan in a list and it does not have the INFANTRY keyword. And Inner Circle has that same rule there.

[@oldmangames9292]

The infantry keyword relates to the model with inner circle, not the model attacking it. So the terminators are infantry, so are wounded on 4s.. In contrast, Ravenwing Knights also have inner circle, but are not infantry, so when attacked, its just the standard str vs tough roll.

[@lektavia]

Multiple iron warriors reports in a week is most welcome!

[@zhaorai8639]

Space marine Vs space marine and one of em is iron warriors? A very nice birthday surprise

[@ThisSickGuy]

I get the reference @4:57😁

[@I_am_ENSanity]

DEMON SAVE!!!

[@AspectPL]

-1 AP against a Terminator with a Storm Shield is not a 3+ save, it's still 2+, the shield gives him +1 to armor saves.

[@Whiplash557]

QUAD LASCANNONS!

Since we got Senior Mustachio the false Beard, I thought it couldn't get any worse.... now the false Beard even lost this disguise! And did you notice the stubbles on Bard's chin?! - He's mutating in to a flase Beard as well!!! This is serious guys, somebody do something! 😬

[@timothyspangler8678]

I don't even play 40k but that opening riff just makes me wanna take on a tyranid horde with nothing but a chainsword and bolt pistol

[@ReccePatrols]

Ahhhh, traitors VS traitors 😎

[@Dreez76]

I was under the impression that Iron Warriors denied the gifts of Chaos, and replaced any limbs that were "gifted" with cybernetics. Hence there shouldn't be an Iron Warriors looking like a freakshow.

[@danielsamaniego4462]

Can we get a Tabletop Tactics sound effects pack?

[@Francis5795]

Wait, doens't the posssessed *already* take up two spaces inside the spartan?

[@andrewadamski8547]

Not yet. Jump packs or termies take two spaces, while obliterators take up 3.

[@daemonnexusknight]

They do according to the Warhammer App. :)

[@iwillbecomeimmortalordietr8506]

@@daemonnexusknight the notoriously often incorrect app?

[@daemonnexusknight]

@@iwillbecomeimmortalordietr8506 But correct in this case.

[@MysterySemicolon]

Always highly amusing seeing Beard cut loose with his cries of "DAEMON SAVE!" I thought the DA lists usually were almost all speeders/bikes/mariokarts these days, not even any infantry... or am I thinking scars?

[@MrCitizen0]

These guys Hella 😁

[@yozzayaa]

That sacrilege of calling the Glorious Dark Angels Untrustworthy even though he is fielding the army needs to be reported to the Interrogator Chaplins. There shall be no forgiveness!

[@kiloromeo1462]

I miss seeing the Dark Angels on your table! Good to see them out, sad to see them lose. Thank you guys for the fun!

[@Fox9719]

How come there were two relics on one of the iron warriors characters? Intrigued as to how this is possible 🤔
