Imperial Fists vs White Scars. Slow and Steady or Speed. Warhammer 40k in 40m

The Tortoise versus the Hare. Space Marine Steve brings out a wall of Imperial Fists clad in Gravis Armour to hopefully make a steady march to victory. Tak launches his White Scars into action to speed across the battlefield. Will slow and steady win the day or will speed prove to be too much?
Also, who is Formerly Best Friend Fred and what dire situation would spurn two Space Marine Chapters to battle each other?

[@shrednaught5]

"how am i supposed to chew through a ten man squad of heavy intercessors?" "you're not and that's the point"😂😂😂

[@stripeybag6977]

Sons of Sanguinis Detachment Assault Intercessors, "You're not?"

[@chief_critical5318]

"That's the neat part...you don't! "

[@SilasKeon]

​@@chief_critical5318i can almost imagine an Imperial Fist having his mustache.

[@marrowkaiproductions7053]

The 60 Heavy Intercessor Build needs to be done.

[@BorderCityTabletop]

So...much...Gravis...

[@AsheAbhorrent]

Everyone: Imperial Fists go first! Imperial Fists: No

[@Haroith]

Defenders go second.

[@andreisidro8640]

If you're wearing a large ring it might hurt

[@MajkiMoo]

I feel like this episode had a lot more personality and sort of goofy bloopers, which makes it feel not as overproduced as your usual stuff. This is a direction I support, really liked this one!

[@eastoforion]

yep this felt like a throwback to the beginnings!

[@andrewcrane5105]

its free ill watch lol

[@tylerbegley1414]

we call this "entertainment"

[@tysontaggart7246]

This has gotta be the funniest game of 40k in 40m ever, I love how steve just completely turtled turn 1 lmao

[@ThingoftheDeep1]

Steve talking about how he looks bummed but is really just THINKING SO HARD is why I love hyperspace hobbies! It’s been a great confirmation that Steve has resting grumpy face when he’s in TACTICAL MODE

[@s0t5iranger69]

I am so glad that he clarified so I can be at ease when I watch him play

[@MJFallout]

Watching it, I also felt Tak was concerned that Steve was getting bummed out, so he tried harder to be supportive. That's nice.

[@matthewskorupski4106]

"He doesn't know what to do, because im being DIFFICULT!" I have a hunch Steve plays Blue/White in MTG as well.

[@s0t5iranger69]

MTG? What's that?

[@Clasteau]

OMG, my wife used to get so mad at my blue deck. Deny deny deny while I build my mana. THen start stealing her stuff and hitting her with it. I can see why it frustrated her. But it was fun to play. I offered to let her try it...

[@Pank_TTV]

@@s0t5iranger69 magic the gathering

[@tiberiumnp8030]

FINALLY Imperial Fists!!! ✊🏿

[@Dfvill]

Why are you using the Salamander fist instead of the yellow Imperial Fists? 🤔

[@jaggernoid7670]

FINALLY TAK!!!

[@AnotherViewBot]

​@@harrywebster500 it's a joke about salamanders skin color

[@mlpsh6995]

Please do more Imperial Fists. They are amazing. Absolutely love to see them on the channel.

[@theshadynorwegian6036]

Rogal Dorn approves

[@bwheeler03]

I think this may have been the funniest 40k in 40m ive ever seen!

[@Scotty86doo]

Im only 5 minutes in but I feel like the narrative for this battle is Tak is Attacking Steve to get his Companies Beloved Apothecary Back.

[@levilemming4262]

After all that bloodshed, all the horrible saves, feel no pains, wounds and desperate scrambles for points, it comes down to 7 points on the final round. Damn that was a good game!

[@argentumloon5230]

So excited! You guys should do a. Grey Knights battle as well. It would be the first one in 10th that you guys would do😄

[@thatguyyoumightfindatthest9807]

I've watched Tabletop Tactics and their videos, I can confirm that a Gray Knights battle would be awesome for Play On

[@ayframe4202]

I second this. Put my bois on the table

[@spaceMerine]

Vs admech

[@MJHKing1]

Another vote for GKs

[@kirbyball97]

They tend to avoid using the most overpowered armies at the moment.

[@gambo3329]

6:04 Amazing to see steve in his element. Even when he rolls high he has a bad roll

[@WHTactics]

Tac out here representing the Khan well! Great game guys!

[@stevefelten1197]

That was a phenomenal game so close. Steve really played that detachment Taak I am always cheering for you because you are a great player and show great sportsmanship, win or lose.

[@chummer2060]

Great game. Hang in there Steve. You were looking really strong. Played the Fist so flavorfully!

[@Wesley22021]

3:50 Bro did not just do that 😂

[@BelugaChonky]

He just kidnapped him

[@BelugaChonky]

I know there desperate for geneseed but dam...

[@XHobbiesPrime]

Great game, it is so hard to see Anvil Siege Force games. This game was super close. Lucky and unlucky dice rolls on turn 4 swung that. But super close. Steve PLEASE play this army more.

[@David13579]

Steve: OUR biologus

[@Kreigsman98]

That who goes first roll was a roller-coaster of emotions

[@tiberiumnp8030]

Kudos to the editor for tasty metal riffs 🤘

[@TheHorreK2]

Lol that first Turn played like how i play my strategy games, just turtle and let the enemies grind themselfs on my defenses

[@TheTommyFrench]

One of my favorite games so far. Love the all Gravis army!

[@JayEngeswick]

This was one of the best videos I’ve seen your channel, great strategies, amazing humor, great special effects, and phenomenal paint jobs. Thank you to everyone involved!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Thank you! We had a lot of fun producing this one and glad you liked it

[@robertmiller6817]

LOL! This game was awesome and funny. The fists gotta have their safety meetings!

[@psykomancer4420]

I was not expecting a Finding Nemo reference, followed by Steve wearing Finding Nemo merch.

[@bryaneggemeyer5985]

Steve's hat is epic 😂

[@patriciocarrizo5065]

The speedy boys VS the heavy boys, this fight will be legendary

[@MdImran-vp1fr]

Thank you for playing imperial fists they are my favorite chapter.

[@Astrospill]

Insane bravery has to be used in the battle shock step of your command phase. Those scouts would have had to roll for it when they came on the field, not that it would have changed anything. Great game! One day I hope to see a Steve victory!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

In the future we won't play using the strat outside of the Command Phase. Luckily, as you indicated it didn't change the outcome and thank you for letting us know.

[@TheEmperorsLeftBabytoe]

Man I love Tak vs Steve games! So much fun banter and you can see how much they enjoy playing against each other!

[@ScorpionP2C]

When I saw Marine v Marine I thought this would be boring. Boy was I wrong!!! Well played you two, real nail biter!!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Thank you for watching! Glad we were able to make the matchup work

[@Clasteau]

OH MY GOSH! You guys post the best games, seriously. Much love and respect from our house to all of you.

[@MarcosMartinez-ed3uj]

By far one of my favorite videos. The imperial fist and white scar list was amazing. Their battle was dope as hell too. Ya gotta, love the top Tier generals as well; very fun to watch and learn from.

[@Clasteau]

SPOILER>>>>>>>> That unit that dropped around @33:44, I think even though it scored some Oath of Moment points, it may end up by the end being more about removing that unit's firepower and ability to hold an objective. Hmmm. Always interesting when something drops, isn't it?

[@chrisfletcher86]

Excellent report! Both played expertly and when the dice swung in round 4 you could feel the game move with them

[@rustyduktape]

That "look a-, look at the hat!" At 9:09 Had me dying

[@incognito4267]

That was the silliest thing I've seen on this channel so far and it was awesome!

[@maciekwilkosz6377]

The battle of the underdog detachments. Stormlance doesn't do much outside of Space Wolves.

[@danielmarvin9745]

One of the best games I’ve seen since learning about this channel.

[@Clasteau]

This was the most exciting roll for first initiative I've seen in a while.

[@patrickdavis8271]

WOW! That was FANTASTIC! Well played Tak and Steve!

[@Manny_lol]

That Kor'sarro Bike Chaplain kitbash looks surprisingly good

[@David13579]

“I just need to roll poorly” is still so bloody funny 😂

[@christyrogers7707]

That was EPIC! Brilliant game, well played to both Steve & Take. Thanks again for another great evenings entertainment . 👍

[@shanehudson3995]

Tak really started stacking bodies at the end.

[@skinstakovicxbox7815]

Tak: what colour’s your Biologis? Steve, where’s my Biologis? Steve: the important thing here, is that I treated your mode with respect What a great opening to the BatRep. And it actually impacted the outcome of the game as a model. Hilarious!

[@jrbliss8135]

So that's how you make anvil siege force work. GRAVIS.

[@blackenedsilversoul]

A sad day for the Sons of Dorn, but well played on both players part! Congrats to the victor, condolences to the defeated, and keep up the good work!

[@bvshmaster6990]

Yalls background music selection is impeccable

[@bungholio81]

Anyone else think the matches with Steve in are the most entertaining 👍

[@BoisegangGaming]

6:05 "All i need to do is roll poorly" Unfortunately steve did not realize that "poorly" means "bad for the current situation" not "always roll low".

[@bobbob2564]

I like the chance of seeing the list on screen displayed like that in the intro 👍 I know you've always put it in the description too but still. Nice extra touch

[@thatepicwizardguy]

steves army is like mcdonalds security forces in space. I'm lovin it.

[@wenhaowu23]

great painted terrain, models, games and production.

[@lukeamparo6586]

The Speedy Spear vs the Sustaining Shield of the Imperium. Love it! So much back and forth and the first turn may seem wasteful but in retrospect it felt strategic. Love them CP.

[@pep7890]

Pineapple surprise, Tak is on a roll tonight. LOL

[@yarrick9372]

That first turn was hilarious 😂 Loved this game 👏🏻

[@khagan]

"Look at my hat" made me almost spit out my food 😂 Y'all are great fun!

[@alexandreterrat1202]

Thanks Steve for playing the Yellow bros so well ❤

[@Bushwookie_18]

21:17 what is that dust plume made from? It looks great. Just cotton?

[@PlayOnTabletop]

It is cotton. Stretched out and then texture paint was used to strengthen it and put it into position. Air brushed on some colour and there you go!

[@Trails54]

Steve's hat game is on point.

[@SamusSelf-Destruct]

What an amazing game. One-sided dominations are fun sometimes, but I really love when a game comes down to literally the last possible roll of the dice. And I absolutely loved that turn one. Maybe boring to look at, but the tactical mindset is just 👩🏻‍🍳💋. Gotta respect the restraint.

[@PeterBonnici]

i swear you guys make the best content - this is the gold standard for battle reports

[@Skullduggerydodo]

I loved Steve first move lol

[@shadowmancy9183]

There's a Tau player who loves Pirahnas that I've done this to as well, just to make him undo his scout moves.

[@stripeybag6977]

Ah the 2nd Best Legion with Mounted units vs the 3rd best Sons of Dorn.

[@nickpeachey4199]

That imperial fist army is so damn close what I've built. Sadly still not gotten a game with it yet, so looking forward to seeing how it goes. 🤞

[@SpamTheWonderful]

47:39 nice

[@ericsmith9212]

A very interesting game. I have never seen going second mean so much. A nice display of different tactical philosophies.

[@Clasteau]

Dice tell stories. And in some paragraphs today, Tak's were writing "we are napping, roll again later". Brutal luck.

[@theblackantonio]

What an action-packed first turn! 😂

[@strawberrypuddin8919]

It was a real slobberknocker

[@megavore97]

My two favourite Founding Chapters, with two great players! Really fun watch. Ordu Gamana Jaghatai!

[@isaacgraff8288]

So much tension in the "who goes first"

[@Robotech2049]

Oh MY GRAVIS BATMAN!! This was so much fun!

[@laughingman4570]

Some people don't think dice be like it is ... but it do.

[@Surveillance_birb]

I'm just gonna jot down "pineapple surprise" to use for later.

[@357Dejavu]

Round 1 was super funny!

[@lousy7580]

The two hardest legions to paint… lamenters v harlequins next?

[@maninhu9837]

DIAMONDS VS CHECKERS

[@Randobar]

I love both lists, very thematic

[@kawasakinin]

Man is fun watching steve and I really love his new army

[@eastoforion]

Great game, really enjoy watching Tak get the scars out on the table. Hai Chogoris!

[@inhnguyenhoang9355]

i am glad you guys make this video slower than the other recent videos 😂

[@OldManRogers]

Such a tight game. Love the turtle style with gravis armor

[@Demigodish4o3]

Two of my favorite players to watch. That was an interesting game. Would love to see more Necrons in the future.

[@aliox2144]

So sad for steve cause this was such a NICE game. Lots of fun and strategy! definitely dices tells stories!

[@landondittel2643]

Wow, u went one whole battle without a space marine. So this one, you had to have BOTH sides space marines!!!

[@scrumptiousbutternut6129]

LETS GO TAK!!!

[@MatthewYandura]

Awesome game fellahs. One of my faves for sure.

[@joeyunderwood7940]

How did Tak get those dirt spray base effects on the jump pack dudes that charged the land raider??

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Cotton balls stretched out and fashioned onto the base. texture base globbed thick at the base of the cotton and then flicked onto parts of the cotton moving up and outwards. Then airbrush some colour to the whole thing.

[@toddvogel8887]

There were some incredibly excellent plays here, especially in the early game, but in the end, the dice decided the game.

[@Fluffy_Mcpeaches]

These video are always the best ngl best battle report chanel on youtube

[@Narutokun11]

This was SOOOOOOO close for Steve and legit came down to a single dice roll, feels SO bad! But they both played great, there were shenanigans to go around for everyone lol.

[@brettmcknight4677]

Steve literally just did the MTG blue player line, played an island and said 'go' on turn one.

[@Moramany]

That apothecary turned traitor!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Former Friend

[@adamstephens5964]

The Dice tell a STORY!!!!!!! -The Dice’s story- “Hey! Roll ones for Steve!”

[@e21big]

I imagine Fists and Scars are having a sparing match and both are just too shy to go to hard with each other. But then Sarge started yelling and Fists Steve accidentially bashing his gun on the Scars helmet too hard and then a pillow fight turn into a blood bath. Legend had it that the woulded from that friendly sparing match need an argumentation to just not be put on Dread.

[@Fr3nex]

There is a mistake in the title, those are Blood Ravens because Steve just yoinked Tak's biologis

[@shadow_warrior_gaming7594]

I have been waiting for a battle report on imperial fists especially the primaris marines

[@cadenmcerlean4920]

Misinterpret? Good sir, I believe what you meant to say was "Blatantly Disregard Entirely"

[@piotrjeske4599]

When l started my WS in 9th, the lore about them was thst they would rather off themselfs , then become a dreadnought. They had bikes everything, the thing that made me like them. And they looked like Tatar, which is my people.
