Orks vs Genestealer Cults. Warhammer 40k in 40 minutes.

We recently played a Reverse Dungeon and loved it. Kickstarter for Legend of Keepers is running now for a few more days www.kickstarter.com/projects/.... Not only did we love playing the game there are heroes inspired by Tycho and JT as stretch goal unlocks in the campaign.
The train job may have been a bust, but the Cults are back to collect the goods. The orks seem interested in the shiny bits as well! Time for a proppa’ fight!
Nick commands the GSC into Jame’s Orks for a whole lot of mayhem and energy on the field in this 2000 points Arks of Omen 40k Matchup

[@jacenvila3962]

Winning that game of Conquest has made Nick roll well or something? Damn, he can make saves now. As always, amazing game.

[@Kilo6Charlie]

Always love seeing James on the channel, he's got so much energy and is just so lovable. The sportsmanship with all the High Fives no matter if it was good or bad for him, just because it was cool. He and Nick are absolutely my favourite matchup. Both bring such positive energy and celebrate when good AND bad happens. Truly, the players we should all aspire to be. James and Nick is the best pairing

Watching my favorite army (orks), in my favorite 40k tabletop channel, with 2 amazing players, while I am painting some new boyz is truly the best way I could pass my "me time" after the wife and kids fell asleep! Thank you so much for the amazing content, guys!

[@deamzhang7338]

Great game as always when Mr. Initiative joins the battlefield! JT’s narration is getting funnier and funnier. Nick did a good job. GSC and Orks are both at good spot rn for competitive play, solid win rates in GT, fun and strong secondaries and great mechanism (crossfire and waaaagh)

[@bitcoinyoda8321]

Nick said it himself: WAAAGH!

[@brewsterway3730]

Orks and GSC are actually performing surprisingly well at the tourney level right now, so they’re not bottom/middle like Mr initiative stated at the beginning.

[@AltoStratusX1]

I'm thinking alot of GSC success if partly from the removal of armor of contempt and partly because all the mad lads still playing GSC probably know them inside and out by now so stats get skewed because there's a ton of good players used to playing from behind now finding themselves on a more level field.

[@brewsterway3730]

@@AltoStratusX1 I mean, yes, and no. They're good, regardless of who's manning them. But are only exceptional if someone plays them exceptionally well. And that should be be the case regardless of what army you play should it not? If youre gonna play an army, especially at a Tourney level, shouldnt everybody who plays their given army know their army inside and out? I dont think anything is skewed by that, but I understand what youre trying to say. The entire population and % of GSC players are all performing well, so that means if their total represantation is performing well, its safe to say, theyre doing well as a whole. Same for orks, theyre doing really well, particularly goffs i think.

[@darcyska]

What a game! Love the back and forth, and orks are always fun to watch

Long time watcher, first time commenter here. Quality of these videos are top notch and have only gotten better. I started from the older ones till current. Wow wow wow is all I can say. I have never played WH, but from watching you guys play, I have began my journey into the lore of each faction. I'm currently leaning towards grey knights from looks and lore so far. When I purchase my first model I will update here. Thank you guys again for all you do. Tak, Nick, Tycho, Steve, JT much love to you guys 💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️
