Deathwatch vs Aeldari. Community, built, painted and suffering not the alien to live. Warhammer 40k

[@stripeybag6977]

For those wondering how the Avatar of Khaine's shooting works he is literally throwing his weapon and it comes back. I read it in that one story where it killed a mountain of Tyranids.

[@stuartstremmelaar8154]

Wasn't that the case where the Eldar where forced back, abandoning their Avatar in the process. And when they returned they spotted a mountain of dead Nids, which then erupted as the Avatar buried under it(which it did so it could hide itself) rejoined the fray.

[@stripeybag6977]

​@@stuartstremmelaar8154 Yeah but I don't think it was hiding though it just got buried in the corpses it was making.

[@stuartstremmelaar8154]

[@FrozenPyro06]

Still grimly funny how the avatar gets nerfed as soon as he comes into contact with a human or chaos character

[@Spoonergasm]

Nick: "Last time I left my units too exposed so this time i'll hide them so they wont be shot off first turn" *Proceeds to move and completely expose his Shining spears out in the open* I mean they technically died turn 2!

[@Bluecho4]

39:50 "Was that the last Lamenter?" No, Guilliman gave them a bunch of Primaris marines. So the Lamenters live to _suffer_ another day.

[@samuelbravo1946]

I don't know. I thought they weren't allowed to be reinforced due to their penance crusade. At one point they had under 50 Marines or something & were last heard fighting a Hive Fleet, sooooooo

[@zombyroid]

I love the cinemtic value of calling out to the community for a donated army just as the deathwatch are effectively "donated" in their recruitment from the various chapters. It was pretty cool.

Bravo to Play On Tabletop for putting up this game, and great job by the community for compiling such a beautiful DW army. I'd love to see Tak go re-evaluate his options (so many cool models to choose from!), and win round 2, he played amazing and everyone knows DW is sub-standard at the moment but this is a great time to experiment (was nice to see that here)! Great game... and what beautiful custom work on that Watch Master! Way to pull out the 'V' at the end Nick, that was a solid Aeldari showing, hope to see more Aeldari in the future... was a brawl.

Hard to tell from the game play and dice rolls, did Dak ever remember to reroll 1's to wound vs the unit types he chose for the Xenos Hunters Chapter Tactic and the Aquila specialism. Also hard to tell if he remembered that vs. Elites (Dominatus specialism) and vs Troops (Furor specialism). He shot the Wraithguard plenty, so that should have at least applied the Dominatus specialism for that one Proteus Kill Team correct?

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We often cannot show or keep all the declarations in about rerolls though yes, Tak did remember and was rerolling everything that was eligible.

Great game and all. But why Nick cant play tau anymore :( ?

He offered a prayer to the God Emperor in an Astra Militarum game and the prayer was answered, and he offered up the T'au in exchange for a specific result. It is a joke though and he will get back to T'au soon.
