Petition for future battle reports featuring the Emperor's Children: the sound effect played when they shoot their sonic weapons should be a heavy guitar rift.

[@girlhunter2102]

I imagine the sound being more like a bagpipe

[@Hedgemonkey5]

It should be a ridiculous dubstep pitch-shift-wub-wub

[@norlanderduwallis9074]

@@Hedgemonkey5 why not both?

[@fenixmeaney6170]

Our vote is for a cinematic BWAM

[@pieisnice9]

I'm still a big fan of the added animations. You guys always have great production value.

[@RyanPST88]

I agree, they're good I like them and as that other guy said please use a guitar riff for Noise Marines.

[@TheLaensman]

Gotta be honest; watching Spider’s reactions to him rolling like a meet mortal does bring a smile to my face 😁 Great job lads, always a pleasure to watch, and the new cinematic effects are just *chefs kiss*

[@ShameyBaby]

Always nice to see Lawrence on freeview, and with the Emperors Children! and vs Beard! You two gents are my new favourite partnership. Keep up the awesome content - you’re smashing it at the moment!

[@ubernerd72]

Lawrence you’ve answered my prayers; Emperor’s Children on Freeview vs Beards’s 4th Legion to boot. This Saturday’s gonna be bangin!

[@tabletoptactics]

Enjoy mate!

[@kingmobmor7656]

The agony present in the Spider's laugh when he used a cp to reroll a 5 into a 5, was totally delightful.

[@mekrot1]

Man that was painful to watch. I could feel the defeat in beard’s heart when his dice just stayed cold at the most critical moments. Yeah they powered up sometimes, but always when it didn’t really matter. Oof

[@daemonnexusknight]

Very much so. :(

[@alangodfrey9504]

Been waiting to see Lawrence's Emperors Children! Great looking army and awesome opponent is Chaos Lord Beard with that brilliant Lord Discordant! This is going to be an awesome batrep!

[@smugron1101]

16:35 Helbrutes have -1 damage to a minimum of 1 damage now, those Heavy Bolter shots would have only dealt 2 damage. Also you cannot re-roll wounds against IW.

[@tabletoptactics]

Mistakes were made with the Helbrute. We filmed this a while ago and things weren’t crystal clear with the IW traits then. Apologies!

[@hopperjohn7207]

That book with Perturabo and Fulgrim is one of my favorites of the Horus Heresy. Especially the part when Perturabo asks Fulgrim to lean close and examine some tiny detail... as an excuse to grab him by the head and repeatedly smash his face for doing something really stupid and petty.

[@BlastastiC]

Angel Exterminatus made Perty my favourite primarch - smashing Fulgrim in his stupid face 👌

[@therealradagast]

Gota remind peasants whos in charge. Love Perty

[@jormasteelhail948]

Fulgrim Vs Ferrus= no headed Ferrus Fulgrim Vs Reboute= roboat crippled for 10k years Fulgrim Vs Perturabo= "come here Fulgrim". *SMASH!* *SMASH!* *SMASH!* Everyone underestimated Perturabo

[@ShahbazBokhari]

Perty must’ve felt so ripped off as the siege unfolded and realized everybody was a loser *BUT* him. (Slightly hyperbolic but also not.)

[@BlastastiC]

@@ShahbazBokhari the one competent person on the team; doing all the work; everyone else is partying; gets no credit. Perty deciding “screw this clown show”, is one the of the Siege A-tiers moments so far 😆

[@chibbyranjo]

That new(ish?) chaos space marine sculpt of the legionnaire feeding the belt through his bolter is the single greatest pose they’ve produced for ordinary rank and file marine. Dynamic as hell and totally what I think every modeller imagines when they see those guns

[@ThirstyOtter]

Seeing two different beards in HD, then seeing these stunning armies is a great 2 hours of time spent on a weekend!

[@rob5795]

I thought Iron Warriors couldn't be re-rolled to wound? Also, great video as always.

[@andrewadamski8547]

They can't, but since this was probably filmed either right before the FAQ, or right after, it's an easy one to miss.

[@tabletoptactics]

We filmed this a while back when everything wasn’t crystal clear.

[@spacemanx9595]

@@tabletoptactics so you mean you were playing wrong, because in the beginning of the game he said "can't reroll wounds against me". BOOOOOO

[@kirramer2148]

Yeeees finally !! Iron Within Iron Without !! Thanks you so much Tabletop Tactics for another awesome Batt-Rep again

[@thehightower5579]

Enjoying this but if even Lawrence is struggling to remember all the +1/-1s that's telling on the state of 9th

[@veneficus7430]

Love that this is a mirror match. You see these so rarely, yet in reality will happen! Hope we can see more like this!

[@Greenielid]

Literally asked for this yesterday! They always seem to listen to their community. Could be wrong an just coincidence. Still awesome ! Thanks guys

[@Martin-xd4jl]

Congratulations! I've been watching you guys for a long time now and love your work, but for the very first time the result of a roll actually made me make an obscene exclamation out loud sitting in front of my screen at 1:03:48. ...but then 1:04:13 comes around! Really Spider, REALLY?

[@jamesmontalvo5026]

I love that even Spider can’t believe he is making all those saves! Poor Beard! Great fun guys!

[@ghostwithknife416]

I've been away for a bit with 40k in general, and the first video I get in my feed is a banger. You guys have evolved drastically, it's incredible to see!

[@tabletoptactics]

Always happy to entertain. Thanks for dropping by!

[@Raszsasal]

LOVE the firing animations. Helps so much with immersion and letting me know what’s going on on the board

[@wheelcha1rman2]

I love that you all make sound effects when you move and shoot.

[@MetalCooking666]

Your sound effects really bring these games to life

[@TamashiiSenpai]

My 2 favourite legions that I’m most excited to see!! Oh happy days!!

[@farmaccount1653]

Beard Beard Beard........ those dice rolls remind me of my rolling 🤣 So I do feel your pain ;) Remind me not to be tempted by those Toxic dice... they look great but.... ;) Great report guys. Everything about this production was awesome (apart from a certain gentleman's dice rolling ;) ) Thank you

[@cuddles1969]

Emperor's Children are 3 battles from 3 on this channel.......Perfection!

[@JayzusKhrist]

became an on-demand subscriber this weekend. Best channel out there!

[@tabletoptactics]

Thank you for the support George!!!

[@Ventruethful]

Lawrence and Beard is an underrated comedic duo

[@RyanPST88]

That army is absolutely beautifully painted, Siege know what they're about.

[@jonmoldenhauer347]

I know this was filmed before everything was clear, and the fact that EC's rules are across like 4 pages when it comes to chaos marks and that makes things really difficult. It says on page 144 (spent all day looking for this rule after watching the video) in the subsection where you have WE, TS, DG, and EC legions. That units that cannot take the Mark of Slaanesh, instead replace their Chaos Undivided faction keyword with the Slaanesh faction keyword, and that units without Chaos Undivided gain the Slaanesh Keyword. Since the Predator then would have both the Emperor's Children and the Slaanesh faction keywords it would have been a valid possible target for Delightful Agonies, not that I think you would have probably preferentially targeted it over the hellbrute in the moment.

[@FA-qk4eh]

The rage emanating from chaos lord beard at the rolling from the 🕷 has got me crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@andrewgeddon4820]

Wow, two of my favorite Chaos Legions AND a Tempest of War game? Cheers for the awesome video!

[@rickymoore9144]

I can't be the only one who fully appreciated the 'will it blend' reference!

[@tHiNk413]

"You're tedious, just take them out of the tray" is so me, gamchanging roles like that always happen to my opponents...

[@RSBurgener]

Man! I was hoping for an Iron Warriors victory. That's the army I've been waiting on for the past couple of years. Oh, well. It was a great opportunity to see some of the new rules.

[@bobevers7766]

Love the added sound effects and after battle analysis.

[@Crymoor]

Great summaries at the end! More of this, please.

[@hostilegalaxyandkitchentab6456]

That was a terrific game, a terrific breakdown of some of the new stuff and LOVE seeing Spyder’s new army in action!!!

[@Kskage]

watching Beard slowly losing his mind over Spider consistently succeeding saving throws... I feel thats this entire video tbh, and its just so sad and funny at the same time.

[@jamescartwright1920]

Wow beard has the bard been fondling your dice off camera? Great video guys love your work 👍

[@knightpaladin9841]

beautiful armys as always. Though seeing the Ash Waste scenery makes me hope that some Necromunda content may be coming, would love to see a Necromunda campaign with all the scheming and backstabbing that comes from it. Especially an Ash Waste campaign for all the groovy vehicle rules and mad max vibes

[@traitorouskin7492]

since I saw the EC unboxing video I've been waiting to see a battle with them. .it makes me happy to see how happy Lawrence is using his beloved emp kids.😀🤘

[@ghostwood9174]

Wow….this is an epic matchup I didn’t know I needed. Both armies look fantastic!

[@dannylangridge7593]

'some things never change' *tzeentch is furiously typing*

[@BW-CZ]

Ah yes, the oldest enemy of Chaos. CHAOS! What a fun batrep.

[@jasonhennessy8155]

I love that Iron Warriors, Lord Discordant. Beautiful Conversion

[@ryanmoore8003]

first time i've watched the channel in a long long time, the very first role i was like well nothings changed has it.

[@ShahbazBokhari]

… Lawrence your rolling is genuinely demoralizing and obnoxious. So glad to have you back. 💪🏾 Edit: So sorry for misspelling your name there Mr. Spider! 🙏 😢

[@thesleekgreek]

Lmao this was hilarious - iron warriors cried in the car on the way back home. I'm building an emperors children army so very happy to see some PERFECTION!

[@davemorris7845]

OMG that new Necromunda terrain is soooo cool!

[@vincentlarochette2501]

A bit late, but thank you. The video is awesome, and the effects are a really nice addition !

[@danielkearl7392]

I find it funny how Beard says, "Damn it"

[@jacoboconnell7518]

I've been waiting for the new EC army! This is a great way to start the weekend

[@nicksurename5392]

Heck yeah more chaos! Love to see it, this new book is very exciting

[@nathano2329]

Love that Lucius the Eternal model. Is that 3D-printed or converted? Beautiful armies, excellent terrain, gentleman-y play, atrocious dice rolling. 🤣 Well played both! Pleasure to watch.

[@benjamincromwell8359]

I would like to know that as well

[@davidedwards267]

Thought Beard had brought his sacrificial obliterators again, only to watch them disappear early on. But cunning tactics. Presumably they’ll just get wiped out later…

[@doubledeputyd4242]

"What are you doing step cousin?"

[@silky06silky]

I would love to see some more raven guard bat reps either on KZbin or on tabletop tactics

[@punintended6145]

OMG that look from Spider at 1:03:52... Beard was so pissed...

[@andyashbey133]

Siege studios = legends. Amazing army. Love it

[@stefanossamotas2343]

47:30 re-rolling wounds on melee vs terminators but vs Iron warriors no rerolls! Remember it Beard! Its our new Legion power! dont forget it!! :D

[@Ed-em6mf]

Those shooting effects are so adorable!

[@scottwalker1300]

“Becoming quite tedious…” 😂lol

[@aurumworks]

Ah, yes, the Spider at his usual. He could roll five sixes with three dice if he needed to.

[@prime1collector792]

The Beard Vs. The Spider 🕷 Awesome!!!

[@xekon14]

Great use of the new Necromunda terrain in combination with forests, gives it a kinda Endor feel

[@cahdragon]

As a Sons of Malice player, I love me a good chaos vs chaos battle!

[@traitorouskin7492]

Sons of Malice. interesting. my respects

[@ThijsSchrijnemakers]

Lucian within, iron without? Poor Beard, the (warp) spider strikes once again. Love love the new visuals.

[@Cadian101st8]

Chaos week is heresy if I ever saw it. But what wonderful heresy it is. Now, all we need is for the Astra Militarum to face these so-called Emperor's Children Cadia Stands!

[@ZainNL]

Those Emperor's Children models look cool! But not as Beard-slapping-his-thigh cool :D

[@bobbobertbobberton1073]

I know its more cinematic but I much prefer army parades when you show the armies.

[@davidcox6454]

I started a night lords army I hate painting chaise trim; there is so much, but it looks cool when your done.

[@Khorzho]

Oh my. I have both of these armies sitting in my mini-storage. Can't... sleep... yet...

[@alexm5044]

Loved this, a great debut. When is the next D&D campaign though chaps? Was hooked on the last one.

[@CableGimp92]

I love that lucius model how did you make it ?

Lord Discordant and the Helstalker count as one model; 40k doesn't have rules that mounts and riders count as separate models for any purposes. Therefore, LD couldn't throw a grenade.

[@JForkbeard]

What a way to wake up on a Saturday!

[@colewall1777]

Been waiting for thus since the reveal

[@adrianrio2021]

Where can you get those heads of the emperor's children and above all, that Lucius?

After watching the battle....yeah...Lucius did good....he's on my list....

[@byronashbee9388]

Where did you guys get those warp talons heads. Those look sick

[@cousinzeke4888]

What do I have to do to get that +2 flamer shots on my Ebon Chalice list with 28 flamers?

[@tabletoptactics]

Fall to Chaos…

[@Dflynnigan]

FYI you guys were doing Mark of Nurgle wrong most of the game - you were applying it as a full -1 to wound most of the time. Best way to think about it (because the wording is not very friendly) is; "if (before modifiers) you would wound on a 2, you now wound on a 3, and if you would wound on a 4 you now wound on a 5." So for example the doom siren into terminators wouldn't have been affected by MoN, and the noise marines fighting the discolord in melee also wouldn't have been affected (since they wound on 3s and 5s respectively).

[@grotwurksmekshop6607]

With so many units of 9.... are we sure this is an Emperors Children army? Or could it be a Tzeentch army in disguise?

[@jackjames2872]

Bad day for beards rolling, I feel a rematch may be needed in the future with a different set of dice lol

[@nurglematthew]

Very Nice!!

[@OutmodedCrow]

Where did the lucius model come from?

[@TheLiamcollins101]

Any idea where that Lucius model is from? Looks really good.
