**NEW CRUSADE SERIES** Orks vs Astra Militarum | Warhammer 40,000 Narrative Report

[@LemanRussVanquisher]

Oh I'm excited for this campaign. Orks v Guard is one of the best match ups in 40k.

[@davidedwards267]

Of all your types of battle reports, these are the most enjoyable to watch. Round of applause to whomever writes them.

[@CK-xs3vq]

As good as the writing is, let’s not forget the effort that goes into the performance! You try rolling 14 die and matching the script!

[@oz_jones]

I.. i feel dumb. I never realized these are scripted

[@ryang58]

@@oz_jones Wait what... Are these battles scripted?

[@CMTechnica]

You guys never realized it’s scripted?

[@tabletoptactics]

No the games themselves aren’t scripted, we play them as you see them. Haha, we can’t make the dice do what we want all the time as we would be filming for days! The narrative is scripted - so we’ll take what the scenario is in the game and make it part of an ongoing narrative. Then when the results of the game play out we’ll then write the next mission based on that. The games themselves are played normally without knowing who will win :)

[@therealradagast]

The high quality production has been so consistent sometimes I forget how good a job you all do until I check out other channels.

[@wheelcha1rman2]

I don't watch any other batrep channels anymore. I've been spoiled. 😅

[@endgame6494]

This is so true.

[@Morathiiii]

I stopped going anywhere else honestly. The others have their good points but no one does everything to perfection like this channel does.

[@haldanerobbs4837]

There's something beautifully Orky about the Wazz-jet thing just dropping pieces as it moves along, to its own sound track

[@yuarthur455]

Yes! New crusade!

[@DaSkwire]

Guard against the horde is such an iconic match up, one of my favourite to run. Fantastic work TT, keep it up

[@ryanb8821]

The sound effects of the ork moving definitely added something to this bat rep.

[@gotharion]

After watching TT vids for several years now I've noticed that my brain has assigned "personality profiles" to all of the main cast... Mind you, these are all just "table side types", and (most likely) have nothing to do with how they are off-screen.(P.S. this is just for fun, and meant as a joke, so chill ;) ). SPIDER - a high-class tailor, who's into some shady "Peaky Blinders" style activity when he's off the clock BARD - a modern style Disney prince on sugar high...and probably some less legal stuff CHEF - engineering school graduate who's also a passionate pen pall with Steve Buscemi's character from Con Air JINX - that perky, cutesy petite anime schoolgirl who for some reason carries a flame thrower in her backpack and will never allow you to look in her closet...or basement BEARD - Jack Sparrow written by Mel Brooks but directed by John Carpenter

[@zinkaghost6490]

Man that sounds like An amazing sit com

[@damienthecadian8164]

Hello! Can we get an INVITATIONAL series where content creators from each faction come to play? I think it would be a fun coaching and competitive series. I'd love to see a Mordian Glory & Tabletop Tactics crossover!

[@tabletoptactics]

That’s a cool idea! When we’ve moved to our new studios, the plan is to do a lot more collaborations as we’ll have a better space for it!

[@oz_jones]

@@tabletoptactics sounds dope!

[@agentcoriolis9208]

Wonderful. Thank you so much guys. Not only Astra Militarum but narrative as well. 🤗

[@WordsAreWarfare]

I think you guys really set the standard regarding sportsmanship and friendship in the hobby, which is admirable and a credit to TTT the company. We could all strive to have this level of enjoyment in all of our games and in turn, become better players. I would pay money to watch a game as a live audience member. Maybe some food for thought?

[@joshuaclark3406]

Man, it's great to see Barney actually getting to krumpin' and not being shot off the board by turn 2. Great show as always guys.

[@nathu100]

Wow it's the first battle report i see of your channel, and you've manage to make it top entertainment ! Usually i get bored but you guyz radiate some energy it's crazy

[@tabletoptactics]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@talon2162]

You two genuinely have the most fun, and it is an absolute joy to watch. Very contagious enthusiastic

[@adamcallaghan6602]

An amazing battle to watch! You lads are having way too much fun for something which is your job.

[@Matt-gs5yo]

Absolutely love where you guys are up to with the channel. This stuff alongside the league is great. Especially with the new AoS!

[@tomfail7620]

That was awesome fun. Love that a new narrative series is here!

[@josephrigley8974]

Don't forget about tankbusta bombs Beard for the boyz its a really useful stratagem to get them through tanks quicker. Great game guys.

[@tomwilliams7287]

Love you guys and love the imperial guard, keep them coming and can’t wait for our codex to come out in 10 years.

[@flyingdutchman5583]

Awesome intro! And both beautifully painted armies, which adds hugely to the experience!

[@ThijsSchrijnemakers]

Oh narrative is the bestest of the best. Love these. The small touches like fires being placed where vehicles exploded were brilliant. Looking forward to the rest of the campaign!

[@MysterySemicolon]

Oh, this is just an iconic start to a narrative series, isn't it? The green tide washing up against the breakwater of the imperium's stronghold. "It's not just a changing tide, commander. It's a storm surge! Hurricane Skulldagga is incoming."

[@griffin7452]

I'm super excited for this. Beard with Orks is PERFECT, coupled with Bard's Guards. I'm sold.

[@bellportbattlebunker4682]

Excellent narrative, enjoyed the game. Looking forward to the rest of the story. Thanks for sharing.

[@benjewda7118]

my two favorite armies going head to head. LETS GO BABY!

[@CalibanKnight]

Great show, love the fun aspect of your narative reports

[@GlobbitsGaming]

This report had me in tears laughing, Beards Ork impressions are just hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[@richarddixon1450]

I'm planning to pen out a campaign for any armies to use. Very simple way to link a few battles together. Including Kill team. Example. Imagine this battle here. They played a kill team game. With guardsmen vs ork kommandos. Sabotage mission. If the orks where successful. Part of the imperial guard base detonates Helms deep style. I also plan to write it so that some battles take part at the same time (obvs ya don't have to play em at same time lol... be fun tho) so things like characters need to be split between the battles. Example the space marine captain goes into the big battle. Sends his Lieutenant off to the smaller battle with a demi company sort of thing. But writing is hard and I'm dragging my feet a bit lol

[@tommargalski2762]

A genuine joy to watch. The game should be fun and a bit silly which you can so easily forget when in the heat of battle (We all know there are plenty of broken or silly mechanics/units which are frustrating to play against but if you play long enough, you will benfit from those at one point). The main thing I take from this video is to be a better opponent when things are going terribly and the rolls are horribly unjust. Just have a good time!

[@Rivers90]

i hit the subscribe button shortly after you were roleplaying your leaders delivering the battle plans - great stuff, look forward to watching more of your channel! currently sat building a manticore!

[@tabletoptactics]

Thanks mate!

[@Rivers90]

also lmao 19:51 i just spat my drink out

[@hdog7600]

The intro to this video was simply amazing

[@andycain8770]

Flipping amazing!!!!! Your Raptors make so jealous!

[@Andrew-yl7lm]

Hey beard, great work on the model you made for L&L! Awesome mate.

[@abrunt]

Always happy to see a Bard and Beard match!

[@TobasscoJelly]

Having James AKA Bard lead the Guard is perfect.

[@Meow110]

Shout out to the paint job on the manticore, nice work!

[@cordial001]

I absolutely love your crusade campaigns

[@trueneutralmatt4287]

I love how, even after thousands of hours of playing 40k you are all still SO energetic about the game. This was a great Bat Rep

[@gargoylesplinth867]

Awesome stuff! Evokes memories of the Helsreach book and animation!

[@randomacademypilot]

That was so much fun. Thank you! More like that please!

[@uriahronin4788]

Yessssssss CRUSADE! And It's DA Orks ta boot! Perfection.

[@RandomGuy-lu7he]

PSA: the imperium has now decreed that 3+5 now equals 9 (Love the videos and the banter, best batreps around

[@KH-my5tr]

About to start my first crusade with my Krieg! This is perfect!

[@splitjawjanitor5369]

I only discovered this channel a few days ago and I can't wait to see more. I love how you guys just have fun and make up jokes and silly stories as the game plays out, which is honestly my favourite part of playing Warhammer. It's a very nice breath of fresh air from the clinical competitive games you see all over KZbin, and Crusade just lets you take it even further with the focus on narrative.

[@cahdragon]

Love all your guard armies, can't even choose a favorite. Are we going to get a new guard army when their codex finally comes out?

[@Demigodish4o3]

I love the good vibes you guys bring to the games

[@RareRiddemz]

Bard vs Beard is ALWAYS a laugh! Thanks TT team, very enjoyable report!

[@daemonnexusknight]

I absolutely love your narrative BatReps and these two pair so well! Can we also talk about Jinx stealing the limelight with her dainty sneeze? :D

[@Narg_Smart]

Man what a cool setup too, love the format

[@Turboblitz1]

That was a fantastic intro! Great job!

[@clawhammr666]

very high quality batrep, lots of fun, fun timing since i got asked this week if i wanted to try crusade (with points though instead of power level, like this)

[@joshwheeker7754]

This was incredibly fun to watch. Y'all are hilarious, and great sports.

[@statay501]

Incredible narrative! I'm thinking book deal.

[@ronaldraasch4253]

More of this please ASAP!

[@Narg_Smart]

Yeeeeeesss!!! Finally another IG one! And against the Orkz! So stoked to watch it

[@gingerbrethren8502]

As a watcher… I loved this

[@beerhammer40k23]

🥰 classic match up, my 2 favourite armies

[@dmeep]

Bard is about to get a sternly worded letter from their comission painters

[@nickschaefer9320]

I have decided to kitbash 3 grots in a trench coat for a my warboss.

[@JI-fk8mz]

Yeeeeeeaaa let’s go! Another narrative

[@Nestmind]

Ford Condor AMAZING citation

[@patray860]

Lmao 😂 that was great … I love seeing fun games like this on the net! All that first overwatch did on the ork riding the squig was light his cigar .. didn’t make the charge but cigar is good! Lol 😂

[@chillialexander]

Orks, Beard, Guard, Bard, campaign, auto-classic!

[@natezabinski5615]

oh hell yeah! Crusade is my favorite format!

[@GD-oh4pe]

I often remind myself that these are two grown men, playing with plastic soldiers, making silly noises and speaking with silly accents; then my inner child pipes up and says, "shut up, stupid! you're just jealous." ... it's hard to counter that argument, well said, inner child.

[@SneakyBeeBuzzBuzz]

Very cool and fun battle! Did Bard forget about AoC on Astra Militarum vehicles all game?

[@soic9690]

This is awesome!

[@1Chaosadnd]

Crusade? Narratiave? I'm in!

[@JohnnyH5]

Looking forward to the new Astra Militarum to drop.

[@bigbigbear58]

Awesome start to a great campaign! The true hero of the show was the trukk ;)

[@Malky24]

Doesn't a Battlewagon's troop capacity go down to 12 if it's equipped with a Killcannon?

[@josephrigley8974]

It does which is why I personally never bother with them on a battlewagon.

[@foxhound1135]

What an intro - Lawrence is the fookin man!

[@thompsonsj64]

After watching the last few videos I really would love to see a TTT after dark. Mates, sinking a few beverages of the stronger persuasion and a bit looser with the language. But basically just having a laugh.

[@kevinrichmond236]

Good lord, that intro was epic

[@norberthaydam6836]

Good to see orks on the channel.

[@neshirst-ashuach1881]

Great game, I really liked the scenario, and the idea of a narrative series sounds fun. Militarum seemed to have a lot of leftover command points though, could've made a real difference.

[@momentooculi6891]

Thank´s a lot for these great report! Greetings from ol´Germany to your team : D

[@michakarnus259]

I remember is weapon expert affect only main gun of leman. Btw great batrap:)

[@douglasmoore642]

At the start of this battle I don't know why but I just want the plane to divebomb the wall to create a breach😂

[@goose6504]

All right. I love these narrative campaigns. I can't wait for more. Are they all going to be free to play or are you guys finally going to get me just subscribe to your website?

[@tabletoptactics]

It will be between here on KZbin and On Demand. There’s hundreds of extra videos on there so lots to enjoy. Join us! You won’t regret it! Beard 🤘🏻

[@consiglieridopchie]

James, i adore you but when i saw you were commanding the Guard, my heart bled for those poor saps whose dice would probably not favor them. I wish you all the luck Humanity can muster, Great Bard

[@dennisbatye1932]

Can’t wait for episode 3 we’re we get to see you use the new gaurd codex

[@joeturner2815]

The camera warping on the trans squigly iggly had me rollin'! think i watch that bit like 10 times

[@Cadian101st8]

The Imperial Guard will ultimately prove victorious. Over the Greenskin menace For The Emperor!

[@DrSpoon1991]

Saturday WAAAAAGGHH BAYBEEEEEE

[@wheelcha1rman2]

I'm not even half an hour in and I ache from laughing.

[@TheStoicArmyPainter]

as a painter i would have personally painted the orkz SKIN Red or orange / shrug. that imperial force looks so fire tho

[@001AlexG]

The videos that are uploaded here and onto the app don't seem to work on the app properly so I have to endure adverts

[@richardgreathead5735]

I cannot unsee the face morphing 😳

[@briancrothers2163]

So much fun!

[@Uelimitemgwehrli]

Best setting ever! Waaaagh

[@clarkey7760]

It seems the inquisition need to visit Crowe, there’s a sneaky Genestealer familiar lurking next to the Valkyrie at the end

[@JD-lj4gt]

34:00 made my day 🤣

[@lilturtleboii]

TT, can we get EC vs Catachan on yt please? Would love to see the seige studio personal project. Keep up the 10/10 content

[@gingerplums1943]

Truck loads of fun!

[@chillialexander]

That smasher squig is invisible!

[@paullatham8486]

Ooh is that why that ork appears to be levitating?

[@naughtiusmaximus1231]

The Oak Warboss on Warbike looks great, did you kit bash the model or can it be purchased?

[@davidjprentice152]

It looks like a heavily modified deffkilla wartrike.

[@ralph-wrecked-it]

yessssss! that was mega!

[@paladinwiggles7896]

Wait, why was a GSC familiar on the landing pad 👀

[@jorallan]

Possibly a hot take: narrative 40k is the best 40k content.
