Orks vs Genestealer Cults - Warhammer 40k in 40m - The Terrain Moves!

[@TheRoboKingVA]

"I don't believe that therefore it won't happen, I'm an ork" I genuinely love that line

[@coreytaggart128]

Playing against orks is easy, get the right color green dice and they are unable to be seen since they are camo. then just tell them it is so odd but you rolled 6's for every dice every roll all game.

[@aaabbb-zc7sx]

​@@coreytaggart128i think you mean purple

[@justinsinke2088]

These narrative type scenarios are really fun to watch because both from an army composition and tactics standpoint, it makes you approach the game a lot differently from the more traditional setups, which really mixes things up.

[@barwachtel5714]

When playing orks... "I will fire my squiggleboomjumpjet and then charge with the rukkatrucka muckajumpa"

JT after he blew up the train cars and realized he blew up his own cover, was the perfect encapsulation of the Ralph Wiggum on the back of the bus meme. "I'm in danger!"

[@sprocket40]

Bent his wookiee

[@SteefPip]

I was very happy to see some models pushed off the map by the terrain, in my head they were trading paint and got their wheels stuck together. As they tried to pull away they realized too late they were stuck, and then smashed into the rock in a fiery explosion. Good times.

[@MushieNino]

This entire battle was basically a storyboard for an animation. Love the kino, want to see more of it.

[@jtmcdowell2331]

I almost laughed myself unconscious when that happened. And same head canon!

[@ryanabernathy7821]

Nick always seems to have really bad luck with the Memestealers, feel bad as I like the army.

[@diegeticfridge9167]

Yes! It’s so strange seeing someone else playing as the orks

[@luketfer]

Oh hey this is revamp of the old Gorkamorka 'Rolling Road' scenario which in itself was based on which had the same rules about terrain moving and then coming back onto the board whilst 'Da Boyz' would scrap around it.

[@purplefood1]

I've played a few boardgames with the same idea and it's pretty good fun.

[@user-dy9nr9yg4o]

Let me just say I enjoy how into it Nick seems to get and how passionate he is when he plays. Win or lose he looks like he has a blast. JT coming in with the surprise game too? Reflecting back Nick’s energy was awesome to see too. Thanks PlayOn!

[@TheHorzabora]

Great scenario… but I think allowing the cars/engine to be blown up detracts a little from the ‘fight over’ the train. Maybe have objectives/turrets/thingys *on* each car which can be targeted?

[@LowlySlime]

Or at least make it way tankier so it would take multiple turns of focus fire

[@Phlebas99]

Have objectives that fall off from the train when damage is taken and must have an action spent to be picked up, which also move back 12 inches as the terrain moves. It'll make the fight to hang around the bottom of the train interesting.

[@toportime]

I like the train hiest format. Really lets the mobile units shine.

[@yuridezanet7560]

This was insanely cool, I love speed freeks. Just one note: next time give the train a 4+ or 5+ invulnerable save, it should take a lot to actually bring them down.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I agree. I think that would have helped.

[@necromancer0616]

Now, I don't play 40k but that looked amazing and fun as hell! The whole time I watched it was like I was a kid watching it as a cratoon on Saturday mornings!

Such a cool gametype!!! I love these unique 40k encounters! Well played! My favorite part was the two guys that got hit by the mountian and disappeared. i imagined they both crashed and blew up on the mountainside while shooting and smashing into each other, lol.

[@ReituagZbrah]

This scenario combined with the duo Gorka JT & Ascencion Nick was a ton of fun to watch! I was here laughing with you while watching! 😂

"Hitting on 2!!!!!!" Rolls snake eyes 😂😂

[@thetrueteebs1338]

Id love to see this scenario with Blood Angels and their Jump pack keeping up with the train because of fly.

[@Steefgamer364]

Just wanna say that this concept for a game sounds AMAZING. As a Necron player it might be more difficult BUT a Nightscythe could be really cool to play in this type of game. Great episode!

[@timfarrow1545]

Lokhust destroyers both regular and heavy with lords for 5+ lethals. DDAs for some heavy support and blast the train to scrap. Flat 6 dmg - 4ap on gauss exterminators hitting on 3s re rolling 1s on the heavy destroyers. 2 dmg -2ap on reg lokhust destroyer gauss cannons and thats without the DDAs Wraiths with a tecnomancer fly onto the opjectives and hold them. All these units fly and have ok movement. What's interesting about your idea of night scythes is you could i think drop possibly infantry onto the train. Our biggest issue is our movement for infantry. Our short range reapers on warriors or immortals with tesla or gauss. However in Hypercrypt with a monolith it could be interesting if it kept in contact with the train it could yeet units off the ground say flayed ones or skorpekhs and onto the train. Or even at a push the afore mentioned warriors or immortals Sounds like a nightmare to play against, but fun to use. Shame i dont have a monolith 😝

This was an absolute hoot to watch. I love it when the guys do little sound effects and play with the models when they attack or die. It's so endearing and reminds me you just gotta enjoy the little things. I love seeing adults who have held on to their childhood wonder. Don't stop what you're doing. ❤❤

I’ve been in paralysis by analysis on what army to begin for weeks and have been loving watching these vids to help my decision

[@mightymochi6465]

I Feel like JT's strategy of just blowing the train, perfectly fits with Orks, like they were saying "We'z don't want it, but we'z don't want youz to 'ave it so we'z gon blowit up."

Fantastic scenraio, great game by the both of you. Wonderful to see, but i guessed who would win with a sizable lead from the thumbnail. I feel GW did a massive diservice to the losing army in how they designed them in 10th. Wait until 11th to play them again i feel and at least have a chance to win as well as fun. Grwat job you guys though. Your hard work on these kinds of games really does pay off.
