I really appreciate Mubin's attitude, energy, and determination to bring less-than-max-efficient lists to games he plays, because the game is about having *fun*. I respect him immensely for bringing whatever he actually wants to play to a table, regardless if it's being recorded and put on YT or not, because that's what gaming is about. It's about fun, and doing what you want to do, and I will never respect Mubin any less for doing what he thinks is fun and right. Sure, I'd like him to win a game - but if he's having fun even in losses, then who am I to complain. If I want meta-approved lists, I'll go watch the usual tournament channels. But I'm here for PlayOn, where they have fun doing what they feel like doing and they keep the gaming spirit alive by doing so. Thank you PlayOn for continuing to bring entertaining batreps with fun people to my feed every time I tune in. You are a blessing to the tabletop community.

[@etherd]

I agree with you but it's not much fun watching someone play against decently competitive players and losing every game. It just seems like everyone on the channel plays at a different speed that just one player you know? At the end of the day this channel is for the viewers and some players need to make a compromise for whats best for he channel. It seems like it isn't that big of a deal to the majority of viewers though . I personally would love to see Mubin take a journey like the year of Steve but with that last episode where they tried to train him I don't think he's up for it.

[@smalls6914]

@@etherd Yeah that last episode with mr. box was rough. I can't tell if mubin is in the wrong headspace to ever improve, or if he just does not give af. I respect the second a little bit. From a channel perspective it is rough to watch and hard to enjoy (especially as a nids player myself). I think if he really just wants to show up and throw hands with some beer and pretzels style games, he either needs to play some different armies or they need to cater the matches to that.

[@edwardcooper-r9o]

There is nothing wrong with playing a list you think is fun, stop hating on Mubin! He's awesome, and the whole point of playing a game is to have fun and enjoy yourself. You don't always have to play super meta optimized lists, not everyone is into that. My dark angels list is faaaar from Meta but it's super fun to play. Don't forget y'all 40k is first and foremost a game. I would love to see a screamer killer in a colosseum list though.

[@Corgilius]

@@edwardcooper-r9o I don’t think you understand why people don’t like person very much. I’m sure he’s a very likable person in person, but for their channel, people, like myself, don’t like him as much as the rest of the crew and many dislike his appearances like myself. Much of this community plays for fun and we all have our own ways of fun. People aren’t criticizing him for having fun at all, they criticize him for being too casual in a semi-competitive environment along with seeing him in almost every video in the past few weeks all the time with him losing almost all the time. Another reason why people probably don’t like him much is because 90 percent of the time it is a sure win for the opponent against Mubin. It’s not fun as an audience to know who wins every single game. I have skipped ahead on this channel’s videos because of Mubin to look at the scores and he is always down on points and I’m mad because I already knew and it’s not worth it to watch the video because it’s the same dude losing every match. People want to be surprised and want to watch a fair game. Mubin doesn’t, in my opinion, bring that.

That one very smart inquisitor who let tyranids and orks fight eachothers. 💀

[@boolean6532]

I love him but someone seriously needs to send Mubin to warhammer boot camp or something, it's getting silly now 😆 In all seriousness, in this format the neurogants are a strict 45 point downgrade, they do absolutely nothing but give your Neurotyrant t3. Psychophages and barbgaunts are also just kind of bad. As for the gameplay, yeeting up the board vs orks like that is just insane, the second he made those moves turn 1 charges were guaranteed and the game was straight up over.

[@skrumpf6793]

Psychophage has some potential in the format imo, 95 points for a bug that durable is a pretty good deal in this small of a game.

[@boolean6532]

@skrumpf6793 for 50 points more you can take a screamer killer which trades the fnp for 2+ armour, better shooting that also gives -1 battleshocks, and the ability to delete anything in melee in this format

[@mozeswasserl8005]

@@boolean6532 or go into Harvester Detachment, take 2 haruspex and just run into them...

[@Coclroach]

I think both the psychophage and the barbgaunts are both very good units. Not in this format but in the base game a 6” aura of 6+ FNP is very helpful for how cheap the unit is and the amount of shots barbgaunts get is absurd. 330 pts for 30 of them is terrifying for infantry units

[@Clay-tality]

I need to get me some barbgaunts, I keep hearing how scary they are.

[@onisama9311]

Always love seeing tyranids, but the first turn splitting your already small force and leaving your vulnerable brain bug by itself hurt my soul. You lose so much value with psychophage off in neverland. Edit: spelling

[@LancelotHumphries]

Yeah I’d argue being a fat 6fnp aura is really the only thing the phage has. He really doesn’t bring a lot of lethality to anything short of battle-line infantry. Big misplay for sure.

I asked KZbin for "40k match ork". It did not disappoint. Some commenters seem to be a bit harsh on the players. I'm not very experienced yet, but I've already been on both sides of 1 sided matches, it happens, I'm glad the players had fun.

[@josephvaccariello4181]

this format loves melee units a LOT. Theirs an insane amount of line of sight blocking and the size of it just really lets any melee threat get the charge so if you bring a all shooting list vs an all melee list you may as well give up the game instantly

[@cliveklg7739]

Would be interesting to see a slightly larger play area, and do a 4 player free for all, perhaps adding in death world terrain rules. We used to run a similar event at local cons, and would get 5-8 players on a large road table we had layered terrain that elevated to the center. Looking back, it was more like a multiplayer kill team match before kill team came about.

Appreciate the honest feedback. While we want to present well played games we don't only stick to 2000 points or standard matched play so I can understand the "fallen off" and that's fair. The upcoming Siren's Call is an example of what the channel probably will do as a whole, with some games at 2k with lists we would take to a tournament, and other games that are more narratively focused without match play. I hope you can enjoy the matched play games.

[@thomasdijkers]

Wanted to help out here and explain consolidation (I didn't check the measurements in the video, couldn't tell if the conditions applied): After making your attacks, you go to the consolidation step where you can make a 3" move if you can move models of the selected unit that are not already in engagement range into engagement range. If, and only if, that's not possible, then you can make the aforementioned consolidation move towards the closest objective and ending in range of it. If that too isn't possible, you cannot make a consolidation move
