Genestealer Cult vs White Scars Hot Promethium Fight. Warhammer 40k in 40m

[@mikek6298]

Man, it's really fun seeing the normally calm and reserved Tak get sucked into Nick's infectious excitement and giggle about explosions. Great game y'all

[@Sep141]

love nick. captures the childlike joy that many of us take in the fun scifi battles

[@ThespianDevil]

Nick is a godsend of a man

[@brettmcknight4677]

Tak: I'm just gonna ignore the Shadowsword. Also Tak: I'm just gonna Command re-roll to blow up the Shadowsword Turn 2.

[@shanehudson3995]

Hey, that explosion did more work than the WS did that round.

[@tyhar7493]

A CP reroll he didn't need to make. Lancers cannon does 1d6 + 3 damage each. After the Lancer reroll it was 3+3+6+1= 13 when I went to school Nick, not 11.

[@RoboEdonista]

There's something poetic in seeing Sanctus Nick being blown up by his own Shadowsword's explosion Saturday Morning Villain style I daresay 😂

[@thisgoddamusernamestoodamnlong]

also just the entire deployment watching their chaplain getting fucking eviscerated in front of them. It's just so funny.

[@Sarcof227]

Aberrants being able to return is absolutely insane for the amount of damage they can dish out and soak up.

[@Metropolithan]

definitely op

[@KikaNinja]

​@weelock721relax

[@Metropolithan]

wow haha... I think PlayOn is meant to be a slightly better community bro. Check that ok?

[@Dracobyte]

Let's go Mutants!!

​@weelock721if you don't have anything nice to say, stay silent

[@raedkhalil6937]

The dice just absolutely hated Tak this game, brutal. Nick on the other hand annointed his dice in holy water.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

Tak chose the wrong Emperor 👑

[@codyott1982]

Tycho's intros.....omg. This game is gonna be awesome if only for that reason. He's pure entertainment.

[@sawspitfire422]

As much as I love JT, Tycho really brings a whole new level of epic to the table with his narration

[@theriseofdragons5056]

The battle rep was awesome, but something I noticed. I believe the shadowsword has devastating wounds against vehicles so at 23:37 Nick’s 6 to wound just flat out killed the lancer and Tak didn’t need to use a CP on the reroll attempt on 4+ invu

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Thank you! We didn't realize that at the time so unfortunately it was an unnecessary CP spend by Tak. Something we now know and will look out for in the future.

[@Whoknows21356]

Oh my lord haha

[@Engitainment]

I legitimately cheered when the Shadowsword not only got knocked out by a smaller tank, but ALSO blew up a goodly chunk of Nick's units; I also lost it at Tak's running streak of low rolls in that last round, those dice were out to get him! Thank you for such an amazing match, this was one of the best ones yet

[@MMallon425]

Outrageous rolls there at the end, on both sides of the table. GG

[@patykaarplegos6282]

Love seeing a shadowsword hit the field. Such a fun unit

[@SmashingSnow]

It looked awesome. I had to check to see if the SM can ally it but alas they can't

[@zesty8772]

Tyko calling me buttercup made my day.

[@JamesSamson487]

Always happy to see a GSC match. Those free rez were so crucial this match, I can’t believe it came down to those charges. ALL HAIL THE FOUR-ARMED EMPEROR!!!

[@toddvogel8887]

Nick: My heart is in my chest right now! Me: I would certainly hope so Nick, that's where it's supposed to be.

[@FnRenner]

3 3's in a row with a CP re-roll....well damn.

[@HuwgeGrin]

I don't play 40K, but I still love your battle reports. So beautifully produced! It's a pleasure to watch.

[@deadlybeavis2601]

Damn, three three's in a row. Ouch. Been there, I feel your pain. Awesome match.

[@thefloridaman41]

This was a great battle. Love the GSC and that alpha-strike.

[@runekp10]

Man, those White Scars really pop from the battlefield, easy to see and love their simple but amazingly done color scheme - for the Cult it's a really nice and thematic rule to be able to use Guard vehicles, love it

[@Delta44115]

One of the best battle reports you guys have posted recently, amazing work and amazing game guys!

[@Dracobyte]

Yeah!

[@an0nycat]

*I've been waiting 40 years for Tak to play for the White Scars.* 😅😅

[@PlayOnTabletop]

His first game with White Scars was this one a couple months ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWfSdZeardOXjNksi=QYzA9PHEQjUe0p17

[@cameronberry1996]

Nick makes watching these games so fun

[@brendanarmstrong7802]

19:05 - Let's just appreciate how crazy-good that tank shock roll was. 22 dice, looking for 5+ means that on average, you'll get between 7 and 8 mortals. He rolled 14.

[@gazstephens5458]

Think it maxs at 6 mortal wounds

[@jacket2848]

He could get 500 5+ and it still only does 6 MW anyway

[@GamePie31]

This mission, terrain, deployment style and overall army composition was a treat to watch!

[@G0pZ]

Enjoyable game! Really good use of graphics to explain what's happening. Unlucky rolling in the end turn Tak.

[@Johns3n]

While Nick played well, his luck (or tak's bad luck) was what saved him in the end :) GG was on the edge of my seat!

[@princeofmoskova]

This format and these games are THE BEST 40K played games to watch without a doubt. Thank you!

[@isaachaahr8691]

The cult emerges once more to grace our eyes and ears. Praise the four-armed emperor for the day of ascension is at hand!

[@patrickdavis8271]

That was AMAZING! WOW! Great game Nick and Tak! Great game!

[@FENIX6669]

[@danmoyer5773]

this was literally down to the wire . great job

[@ShivrMeTimbrz]

An epic showdown! Was very excited to see some GSC again - glad to see Nick do the four-armed emperor proud! It was absolutely down to the wire!! A great video! Keep it up :D

[@samhoban2509]

This was my favourite battles ever. What a game, and Taks paint jobs are so cool!

[@Msomuk]

What a great game! Congrats Nick! Those dice told an incredible story

[@AnhkGuy]

For a guy planning on spending less time in front of the camera, I think Tak has been in more videos in the last three months than in the year before that. It's good to see! I like his style.

[@jacobcrawford886]

This is one of the best played and closest battle reports I’ve seen yet

[@nicholaselliott339]

Great game! Truly showing the value of both tactics and dice rolling.

[@DecidedlyNinja]

That was a great game. Big moments, tension down to the last moment, and having GSC.

[@Accessg]

That was SO freakin' close! What an amazing game! I'm a new Genestealers player, so it really heartens me to see them give space marines a run for their money. ❤ But well fought in both directions, what a game!

[@joshuataylor5080]

Wow, Nick's rolls was bonkers this game while Tak couldn't get a roll to save his life! Time to banish those dice to the shadow relm.

[@Eggsecuter]

That triple 3 on the last 3 rolls of the game was actually infuriating and sad at the same time lol.

[@planetap2745]

That was amazing!! New favorite !

[@theletterx8828]

One of the best games I've seen on this channel! LOVE IT!

[@busdrivrr888]

Best game from this channel ever. Beautiful terrain, awesome unit choices, nail biting action, and fun players to watch. Awesome

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@MIDencezzz]

I really love this channel, I hope you make more imperial fists videos in the future ❤️

[@michaelcrawford1233]

I have decided that as much frustration it can be that GSC units don't automatically come back, it makes it all so much sweeter when they do.

[@efoxneo]

This was super fun to watch, I've watched it twice.

[@jimmiewd]

19:05 I'm sorry 15 mortals! 😲 That was the best roll we've seen in a long time! 🤣

[@PlayOnTabletop]

It did cap at 6 mortal wounds as per the stratagem limit but it was enough to wipe the remainder of that squad. Otherwise, that ability would be over powered. If you want to see some crazy mortal wounding check out this live stream kzbin.infovKrIj0R8qpY?si=jBJ1GmS7jQLpadH6

[@DeadlyPrintStudio]

Amazing as always team! What an episode! We need more White Scars!

[@Thoughtsmith]

Man. I've been joking about Tak's dice running hot lately, but there's a flip side. Great game. Lovely to see people who play the lore as well as the goals.

[@XMan-mi6gs]

That’s was a hell of a explosion for Nick lol. Laughed so hard. So sorry :):):).

[@goliath1179]

I’m so glad I watched this video as my brother got into GSC. Custodes and Chaplins for mortal feel no pains are vital. Also my goodness Nick is rolling like those dice are fire itself.

[@Destroyer7pl]

Nick's energy is so on point in this game!

[@DC-em1ig]

Tak's rolls at the end were BRUTAL!! I feel for the guy XD

[@gavintichenor7619]

Tycho won my heart with the "Trogdor" reference.... ♥

[@joanllinasbas1231]

feel no pain feels OP after seeing Nick's rolls xd

[@dustinjones2137]

That was a cool game. Thanks for all you guys do. I don’t have the time to play so this is how I enjoy the game. Thanks!

[@gabrymefisto6110]

really really close game. one of the most adrenaline finale since ..a long time. gj both!

[@NickTheSpontaneous]

I like seeing Nick win - also I like seeing Tak lose XD

[@kgosch1]

Those turn 5 feel-no-pains, wtf! Dice so hot they were melting.

[@mariusweber4990]

18:34 Moments like that just make me happy.

[@marcosoci2176]

This episode was amazing, tha terrain was beautiful and the action too

[@devinknotts4072]

That game was crazy awesome, love to see it!!!

[@KaiserFaust]

Things I learned today: Genestealers have better unit rez than the techno-arcane hyper-advanced Necrons, who’s entire schtick is rezzing dudes in combat. Classic GW…

[@shanehudson3995]

Having to roll wounds equal to the model to rez is just stupid.

[@The7Purplekirbies]

Things *I* Learned: Who would win, a Centuries old genetically enhanced certified badass clad in the heaviest most durable armor the declining empire he serves can give him, or the infeasibly alive, heavily mutated bastard child of a baseline human and one of the most common creatures made by the Tyranid Hive Fleets armed with only a Hammer and wearing only a Loincloth? The Answer, the one with the 4+ FNP.

[@tylerparent8813]

too be fair the flavor isnt that theyre reviving the dead like the necrons but theyre just bringing up reinforcements cause there's so many of them

[@anvos658]

Technically speaking like Guard its not a rez, but pulling in reinforcements. Also kind of depends how much the map and army composition lets their opponent hunt the blips. This one was pretty much an example of how oppressive it can be when the map and objectives let them hide the blips in safety and still be useful.

[@pointandshootvideo]

Great game! So close! Congrats to Nick for the win.

[@joepeat01]

Brilliant batrep, good job guys!!!

[@mitchbarton4921]

I love the fact that it's TYKO doing the talking this time. Here's hoping this continues.

[@claylovelace602]

Fantastic game all around. The Genestealers feel so squirrely they are impossible to fully take down.

[@shaanreed1680]

White Scars look beyond beautiful *chef kiss*

[@weaverreaver4448]

I absolutely adore genestealer cultists. They are the army that are getting me into warhammer, so any time you guys put out a video with them fighting is a good day for me! I can't wait to see what happens!

[@Dracobyte]

Another awesome battle report!!

[@patricksmith9700]

Whitescars dreadnoughts wow that's rare

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I know but the Brutalis seems like such a good White Scars unit

[@Argumemnon]

I can't believe how unlucky Tak is. Luck's the only reason he lost and it still came really close. That's just frustrating.

[@thehappyfaceproducts]

Well, arguably that explosion was incredibly impactful, and that was Tak being LUCKY. In the end I think both were equally lucky/unlucky this game, felt really close

[@joshuataylor5080]

@thehappyfaceproducts 100% disagree. The only luck he got all game was the Shadow sword explosion AND HE DIDN'T EVEN ROLL THAT SIX! The number of times Nick brought back units, nailed his feel no pains, and rolled mortal wounds was absolutely nutty. Poor Tak got next to no charge rolls that mattered in the mid board and Omega objective, kept rolling low on his advances, and had to use a double re-roll to kill the shadow sword because he rolled DOUBLE ONES on damage.

[@Argumemnon]

@@joshuataylor5080 Sounds like you're agreeing with me rather than disagreeing. :)

[@joshuataylor5080]

@@Argumemnon sorry, my original comment was in reply to the guy above me. I agree with you 100%

[@Argumemnon]

@@joshuataylor5080 Gotcha. KZbin's system sometimes makes it difficult to tell.

[@tigerking5656]

This may have been the most exciting game I watched

White Scars! Yes! Let's go!

[@erimo506]

10:48 is Nick ok or is he laughing through some pain?:(

[@Mrclark1977]

YOUR BATREPS ARE THE BEST!! All dice betray.

[@pascal9055]

Wow the rolls at the end were beyond believe bad for White Scars and insanely good for Cults.

[@ChopeDark]

I'm usually a quite man and I don't really like the over excited ppl but for some reason, Nick makes me laugh so hard, he has a such a nice energy! keep it up man, great match for both.

[@duck_sized_horses8887]

That ending was absolutely wild!!! Tak was glitched into the number 3.

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

Wow those secondaries on Niks last turn 🤭

[@NoMoreHero51]

Those dice are rigged at the end, so much 3's xD

[@greggordon6439]

Extra points for the trogdor reference!

[@terrymiller111]

"Double ones."--Tak, the People's Champion

[@Rikalonius]

43:00 Nice Trogdorr reference! Dice gods were not with the white scars this day. They must have offended the Emperor in some way. Looks like Exterminatus is the only way. Great game though.

[@SabersWorkshop]

Nick is such a mood. Every episode, win or lose, he makes us winners with his presence.

[@fun_police8011]

Whatever deity is in charge of controlling dice rolls for Tak absolutely hates him lmao.

[@batshit36]

I just picked up GSC, was hoping you guys would play a game with them, and my Christmas wish came true

tak's low rolls crush my soul

[@DarkPhoenixDack125]

Subtle Trogdor reference. I see you, Tycho.

[@frankwhite2072]

I like Tak's comp.

The irony of those Scars charge rolls!

Great report with the big titan duels, resurrection and last turn nail biter

Amazing White Scars minis!
