I am very interested in seeing more Votann content. As a very new player I find them interesting.

I AGREE ! I'm also new to playing but have been reading the books. And keeping up with the lore. These battles should get a animated recap!

[@dasninjastix]

The sad Steve edit legitimately brought me back to the days of deep strike and scatter in 3rd Edition where so many very expensive units were lost before they ever had a chance to see battle. An exploding Land Raider is a hell of a lot cooler by comparison.

[@inquisitormalleus6435]

That swing hurt so badly to watch. Still a way better match than I was expecting from the matchup though.

[@Spoonergasm]

Lately it feels like the Stories the Dice are telling is that no matter how perfectly you strategize and plan sometimes you just get spanked

[@TheNovusSpes]

[Spoilers for the video] So this was a brutal match up. The fact the first half looked like Steve could actually give the Sons of Dorn a win in 9th (and on camera!) was so exciting! But the explosion of the Land Raider was a game ender. I know you play to your outs, and they tried to put a good spin on it, but there was no plausible way, right? Am I missing something? Still, seeing a different Space Marine chapter is always fun. Plus Play On Tabletop's production and personality means a lot of underdogs have a chance to see some fun on the table. I hope they show off more subfactions before 10th, and I hope Steve Marine gets a chance to shine!

[@spacemarinesteve6057]

It's hard to say. That moment was REALLY tough. If that didn't happen, who knows where things would have gone. With that being said, yes... competitively, that unlucky twist hurt my game plan a lot. With that being said, I am actually playing Imperial Fists competitively right now and I have been doing really well. I'm in the top 4 of my local league and there are very few games that I get smashed - even with Imperial Fists being one of the worst space marines. With enough practice and a focused plan, even less than optimal factions and units can win out

[@shadowmancy9183]

@@spacemarinesteve6057 One of the units I've found to be the most entertaining to drop into play are Inceptors with assault bolters, then pop bolter drill. I got Guilliman to take 19 saves, and I've deleted 20-man squads of Necrons. Terminators are a close second though.

I'm glad I watched this video.

And if not; whether it makes any sense to have one of those three armies be Astartes, who are guaranteed to have a constant stream of new releases to keep up with. My own sarcastic reaction to this game basically ending on turn two kind of crystallized things.
