Tak: "I tried so hard." Mubin: "And got so far." Audience: "But in the end, it doesn't even matter."

I'm glad you caught that

glad to know I wasnt the only one

​@@PlayOnTabletop we all did play on, we all did

[@lycosa2000]

Yup, exactly that. lol

[@Dracobyte]

Hehehehehe!

[@ConorTQuinn]

The Emperor's Champion may have fallen without swinging his sword. But, his brothers were able to retrieve his sword and armor. A good Black Templar victory.

[@MarketResearchReading114]

This 40min of 40k is seriously one of my favorite formats, for 40k game-play videos. I think you've got a formula for success and its only gonna get better.

[@JohnSmith-jx5wm]

They have a great mix of game play and narration that honestly I think makes them stand out, and don't even get my started on their personalities, gods I love Tyhco

[@zombine64]

I hope Tak is okay after handling such hot die. Poor guy must have suffered a couple of burns this game.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Hot potato

[@CaptainPoseidon282]

weirdly enough, theese are my 2 favourite armies. I asked for this one (a black templar match) during the guard vs ts video and I am extremely happy that it came out this way😊

[@alphabread]

About time that I see some Black Templar action, they're the coolest space marines in my opinion.

[@vukvidanovic8276]

I agree. They are so cool

[@sunbreakerqueenofbronze621]

I don’t know if this counts, but I think Grey Knights are a little bit cooler. Still, Black Templars take #2 place for me.

[@Bumbaclart247]

Coolest after the Celestial Lions :)

I’m not sure what they were thinking making a 1k sons combat patrol with no Rubrics

[@synergy8879]

@@Cyd99 fr, like at least add a sorcerer with a 10 man squad, not pull a death guard combat patrol

every time i see the fucking tzaangor combat patrol, i can hear PancreasNoWork in my head in a half demented chuckle, saying "20 tzaangors!"

[@user-op6wo9hx1s]

I honestly would have gone with the anti-psyker vow but either way I’m a big fan of the templars, keep showing them off please!

[@Tailhook91]

It’s actually not that useful vs TS. FNP vs all their dev wounds shenanigans is more useful. You can always spend a CP to put a unit you need in Abhor to hurt things that need it, because Anti-Psyker 4+ doesn’t buy you that much most of the time.

[@itsakm4964]

That vow is pretty much only useful (in my opinion) against grey knights.

The redemptors plasma is d6+1 shots, Tak was under rolling his plasma.

Yeah!!

Watching this just after playing my first physical game. I don’t think anything is more fun than ripping through my friends necron warriors with my tyranids

[@Cam80914]

I also happened to play against Thousand Sons this past weekend with my Black Templars. Game ended in a landslide victory for my Templars. LRCs having the original assault ramps back has really made them worth their points.

[@itsakm4964]

Same here. I lost though, messed up on the mission.

[@SigismundSimp]

I loved this game, one of the few times I’m not rooting for either more than the other since i play both of these armies

[@deejillini2680]

Guys love your channel so much! Getting into warhammer myself I can’t decide between DA or ultramarines, But I wonder is it possibly to do like a massive 2v2? Like could you imagine the carnage? If DA and ULTRAMARINES the Lion and Guilliman gathered intel of a massive tyrannid hive in a system near by? Oh mannnnn

[@SmashingSnow]

That would be a great video. I loved their old 2v2s and Apocalypse battle videos. As for which SM chapter to pick my vote is the DA as that is the Legion I am slowly collecting

[@dillonhansen3839]

As a chaos player myself, I love the dark angels, they have such cool medival like armor mini wise, if you compare primarchs look wise I love the lion much more, love the style and love the colors

[@deejillini2680]

Thank you guys for both inputs, and I’m leaning towards DA as well. I love the idea of being able to run three detachments of if I so choose, I like the cavalry/ air support the ravenwing bring, the ground and pound of the deathwing? I think, but yeah have you guys seen any like cool DA painting schemes?

[@dillonhansen3839]

@deejillini2680 I personally don't know many of their styles, but there is a plethora of youtubers who paint DA, even though there painting is proffesional level, it might jelp give you an idea of a color scheme? I personally love their dark green or black and red schemes. Idk the significants of the colors just that they look awesome lol

[@aaabbb-zc7sx]

you can use two detachments,at leeast in 9th edition.however,that costs you command points

[@rollnycgaming2279]

Loved seeing the Black Templars in action! Just a really quick note, I know it's a small detail but Crusaders cannot naturally advance and charge, they can re-roll advance and charges. However, if Grimaldus is with them, then they can advance and charge / fall back and charge. Great report Play On!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

It was with the Grimaldus unit but yes, definitely we can make that much clearer in the future. Thank you

[@primarchvulkan5097]

@PlayOnTabletop I was wondering the same. It's a solid ability just hard to give up the 5+++ for it

[@patmaguire622]

this game feels like game 2 at my last RTT. My IK vs GK, and by nature of the dice, forcing targets with move/charge blocking, and other just plain craziness, I had 2 out of 3 big knights and 2 out of 4 armigers left on 1 wound, and only lost 1 armiger.

[@farrowjacob]

I’d love to see Mubins win rate. It’s gotta be less than 25%

[@MubinTalati]

can confirm we have a Patreon member who does stats for us for fun. I do have a sub 25% win record. It's fine though. 2024. I have plans....and things will change. Just as Planned by the Changer of ways

[@Chris-nx9lz]

@@MubinTalati I think Thousand Sons has a 0% lol

[@thefloridaman41]

This was a rough matchup for the Sons, but a great game anyway. Would love to see a game under Deathwatch’s rules for Space Marines… I think their units are horribly overpriced but on a good SM generic army they look quite strong particularly the Double Oath and being able to Deep strike either Gravis or my favorite the Company Heroes squad which are very difficult to shift. (Also the Judiciar with some Bladeguard with the Thief enhancement is insanely powerful)

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Mubin will be playing Deathwatch in the Tuesday live stream

My hardest enemy army in my friend circle is TS against my BT so this will be very interesting

[@BR_Reconz]

It looks like the mission rule card or the voice over for it was incorrect. Hidden Supplies adds a sixth objective marker in no man’s land and pushes the center objective towards a no man’s land corner if possible. Secret Intel matches what the voice over said to draw a third secondary then discard one.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Sorry, it may not have been clear. Both Crusader squads had characters. One had Grimaldus. The other a Chaplain, which is why they had the 5+ feel no pain. We will try to make that clearer in the future.

[@SigisBoi-qx9xe]

Ah my apologies you lovely people@@PlayOnTabletop, I love running 2 blocks of 10 just for the scout move! Upsets quite a few opponents ;) This is also paired with Grimaldus and a blob of 20 for the soul destroying 5+++ on 24 models

[@serenadingvoyer]

I don't understand how the rhino could target emperor's champion. Wouldn't the intercessors have to take damage first since the rhino doesn't have precision weaponry? I'm really new, sorry if that's a dumb question.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Some transports will have Firing Deck (+number), and that means a number of models inside the transport can shoot out of the transport. In this case it was Ahriman inside the Rhino that sniped the Emperor's Champion. Ahriman's ranged weapon has [precision] that allows him to target characters and bypass the bodyguards.

[@serenadingvoyer]

@@PlayOnTabletop Awesome, thanks for the explanation!

[@IngRobyblueyes83]

It seems to me that the Rhino can't fire psychic powers because it doesn't have the psyker keyword. so on the first turn you couldn't eliminate the champion with psychic stalk

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We read the rules commentary and it does say that you do not need the psyker keyword to use a psychic attack. Certain abilities require the psyker keyword.
