The irony of giving John shit about being too old to skate when we’re all obsessed with toy soldiers

[@3Grots]

Toy soldiers have never broken my arm

[@mefastest]

Great video. Thanks for doing this! Your slide of pieces of filth is exactly what I wanted to see. As always, the research you did was wonderful.

[@3Grots]

Mark loves coming up with those - amd this was a 100% Mark episode

[@Turk3YbAstEr]

I propose any future superchats go towards getting John a bike

[@3Grots]

100%

[@blakewilliamson6761]

Not sure how I found your channel, but this was wildly entertaining. Hope you guys keep it up.

[@3Grots]

We're glad you did!

[@Wargsbane]

Great show guys thanks for making it :)

The spear of russ is still around and is a major part of Ragnar Blackmane’s story. Long story short, he threw it at Magnus on Fenris, lost it to the warp, was banished to terra. He then ran into the same thousands sons sorcerer from before, got the spear back and was accepted back into the chapter and became the youngest Wolf Lord in history. Believe me when I say, this is the short version 😂.

[@3Grots]

So is it sitting in an armoury on Fenris?

[@xBFMV1NF3RNAL94]

@@3Grots think it is on a world in the fenris system is memory serves. Not fenris itself though, thats how the t sons got to it before.

Very interesting look into the Deathwatch, guys, thank you. If the rumors are to be believed, then this game is about to get simpler to play with fewer stats, Warlord traits and the mechanics we use to customize our armies. I fear that this one in particular is gonna lose some of its flavor. I hope GW does right by all of us and doesn't try and make this a game for 12 year olds. I hope they find a way to maintain the character of armies like the Deathwatch if they're gonna trim the fat and bloat out of the game.

[@3Grots]

I think finding that balance will be rhe tricky thing - we don't really want to go back to 3rd Ed but where we are now is just bloated and slow

[@greggillespie8259]

Are the Deathwatch considered low tier in the meta watch? Sure. Can anyone predict their effectiveness if you bring the frag cannon/ infernos party? Not in the slightest

[@3Grots]

I love the frag cannon, so random it might as well be ork - Tony

[@MeBotheringYou]

You forgot to mention the way keywords work on deathwatch. Ex; a proteus kill team with a biker and vanvet get access to strats that would normaly only apply to said model/unit. Unfortunately AoO has made proteus worse, fortis now serves the same purpose but cheaper, you'd still take proteus for the first point I made. (If you have any questions ask away). EDIT: you also get to take Las Fusils AND Bolt snipers in the same unit which you wouldnt be able to do in a non DW eliminator unit (there's more small blobs like that in their codex)

[@3Grots]

All good points! This seems like the space marines for the connoisseur

[@MeBotheringYou]

@@3Grots also: if you split a proteus kt and run 3bikers+2vanvets w/ SS you can make saves as if they're T5 due to 'mixed units'. One of the things you can do with proteus is run 3 termis a la dark angels and pair them with 2 veterans whilst the rest tags (pun intended) along with 1biker+1vanvet giving the vets increased mobility. The AoR thing to do was running proteus kt's Costello/Klangeby style

[@MeBotheringYou]

DW in AoO? Tough cookie to chew. For what it's worth; Dominus Aegis relic, libby for xenopurge/ standard disciplines: Fortified wContempt/ Psychic fortress,.. VanVets are kind of the only unique unit they've got going for themselves (i'm not counting killteams - sure obsec eliminators are cool, but they wont survive the charge theyre brunting). Whatever it is you're thinking of running, if you arent doing it for theme you'll be better off with any successor or main chapter as far as I have concocted. All that said, I hope yall change my mind (I hope I've overlooked things you've caught on). Edit: Paragon of their chapter is a must imo (Dark Angels /Ultramarines are the obvious ones)

[@Maakeff]

Don't get your hopes up for this being a competitive-play focussed video on this faction. 🙂
