This is how battle reports should be, great story, thematic setup , excellent themed gorgeous board and effects, and good sportsmanship. Tycho is cool as hell too!

[@theinquisitionsparrot6749]

I hope the revenge match of Lamentors vs Astral Claws happens. I wanted a Minotaurs rematch, but that is not as cool as Lamenters being absolutely done with the bull of the Claws.

Love it. 40k in 40m is amazing. Skipping the movement phase and all the small rolls is nice. Very much appreciated. Watching a match for 3 hours gets tiresome pretty quickly. You hot my sub

[@nekrataali]

Yeah I have no idea why channels think people want to watch 3 hours of 40k when there's a lot of downtime for the audience. Just some simple editing to the end of the movement phase would often be enough.

[@Avvy89]

Tycho working with the Imperium? Is this some Alpha Legion psy-ops program?

The inquisition is doing more harm than good to the imperium, maybe thats tychos goal 😅

I really like alot of the stuff you guys do on this channel. I'm surprised I haven't found you before. The quick battle report, the explanation of primaries and secondaries and strategic thoughts, the visual and audio affects, the use of a dice tray , beautiful models and great sportsmanship from both players . AMAZING work guys, keep it up

[@SystemWargaming]

This is one of our favorite games from this season. The Imperium Inquisition force vs the heretical Marines is the kind of themed game we've always loved.

[@Assassine0606]

"Investigations" yeah, thats the way the Imperium does things.. I love it, and the Channel and your Batreps, make me excited for the game every time!

Tyko is one of my favourite people who plays “play one table top “ with the gang, Always makes me laugh or the very least smile. Really makes me wanna get into Warhammer. (Aside from the prices) you guys make it seem so much fun! It’s a shame I live in BC I have not found any fun to play with groups yet

We are in bc as well! Where abouts? There’s quite a good local scene!

I got confused how we had new episode so quick, then i re-read the title lol. great match as always, awesome to see custodes getting played alongside imperial guardsmen

I mean technically the Astral Claws were declared excommunitae tratoris because Huron Blackheart was in all due efforts trying to rebuild a legion.

[@TorqueBow]

Now I get to watch the original and watch the re-upload! :D

[@Tyro_]

What would one call this force, Imp Soup? I've always loved the idea of having space marines with some guardsmen out front

If Spacemarine-Steve ever deserved a win, this was it. Damn, him and his Astral Claws really did great I think.

[@MarkofWisdom]

Awfully suspicious for Mr. Chaos to be using the inquisition to accuse others of heresy. Veeeeeeery suspicious. Good shooting for that valkyrie, and the minion scream for the poor guards who didn't remember their parachutes was amusing Not enough for the win though...Chaos wins the day it seems

[@joshhouston7277]

There's not enough shovels for this much heresy

[@JunkheaDxX]

I love your intros. Nerd-Ception!

[@Jay-bf6tp]

Where did you get those amazing houses from??

[@lordvaust5830]

Not trying to say anything rude, but I’ve noticed through most of these battles, the Astral Claws tend to “underperform.” They’re usually on the back foot most of the game and barely eek out a win, or they simply lose. I know victory in this game is determined by a multitude of factors and you can’t always have good games with your favorite army, but I can’t help but feel like the Astral Claws are worth skipping over when I’ve seen their poor performances on so many occasions.

[@andresk4694]

Tycho playing Inquisitors XD haha chaotic indeed XD

[@everythingturns]

anyone know exactly how the Inquisition lists comes to be from a legal army list building standpoint? would this be from the Psychic Awakening update to build such a list?? I want such a list in my life!

[@zlobzor]

Custodeees, not custards :p Great vid. Thanks guys :)

[@usernametaken2511]

Hold up, Prim- Astral Claws? The Badab War was over long before all that or is my memory bad? Still fucking cool though

[@akjir]

If the Adeptus Custodes is on the other side, good Sir, in my humble opinion, you are on the wrong side.

[@daringdarius5686]

19:18 "Ahh they forgot their grav chutes, so they're just leaping" imho (Fluff-wise) I would think they would have them at the ready, but something along the lines of this happened: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4irY6pjgbqJmZI Just what goes through me head :)

[@Johns3n]

I love Space Marine Steve, but as a fellow glass user, he really needs a anti-fogging agent for his glasses, it's soo distracting XD

[@TheEyez187]

30:12 - Domination - can it make the controlled model use a grenade? Guessing probably not; which is a shame cause it could be awesome and efficient!

[@mircix8007]

Love this channel, makes it really easy for newbies to understand :) Thank You!

[@wholesome_masochist4113]

With all that plasma, I'm starting to wonder if the claws here are Smurf successors or Dank Angels.
