Aeldari vs Tyranids - Battle for the Maiden World. 40k in 40m Warhammer Battle!

Still not as bad as 'Quirk' from MWG, though. lol Although, it Mubin stays playing with POT, he may claim Quirk's title.

[@BleedingSnow]

every BR I watch for Nids they lose, just like me as a Nid player ^^

[@bugmanzgaming9054]

@@BleedingSnow Depends on which channel you watch. Here? Mubin is a horrible pilot (not a good player in general), and sadly he pilots them most of the time... so yeah, our bug bois always lose.

[@BleedingSnow]

@@bugmanzgaming9054 Well, I literally just go "Tyranids vs" and watch the top couple vs other factions and I've not found a win in a while. Meanwhile Tyranids ranked 3rd top wins in the Las Vegas Tournaments, do, idk some Nid players be keeping their secrets aha. I myself am simply a terrible player who made a fluffy all melee list that's trash.

[@jimmicuss2667]

Such a shame that a casual eldar vs nids game will only ever have one ending. Great job on the report as always though guys.

[@duckbread0]

i disagree, to a degree. Aeldari are pretty powerful, and tyranids less so, but it does also come down to tactical plays. Mubin made some rougher tactical errors. I’m not saying it would have changed the game entirely, but the massive points split we see at the end would have been significantly closer

[@biggoclonk5088]

Buffs to Nids and nerfs to Aeldari have made this match up not as one sided anymore. Assuming this was played after the update

[@Swampert919]

@@EmperorNapoleon1815 that was a joke (mostly, a faction doesn’t become one of if not the lowest win rate army in the game from being able to handle most match ups, and aeldari can be rough for most factions… without a meta list and heavy biovore cheese moobin was prob gonna loose regardless…)

[@EmperorNapoleon1815]

@@Swampert919 All good! That said, it’s important to remember that Tyranids are one of the most played factions, particularly by newer players, so the weight of numbers works against them. Personally, I rarely use Biovores; and I rarely lose. The Biovores are too costly, and their role can be filled marvelously by Ripper Swarms, which are one of the most useful little units in the codex.

[@etherd]

I would love to see some tyranids and genestealer cult vs space marines and guardsman.

[@isaacgraff8288]

That'd be an awesome battle. Would be crazy easy to come up with a story of what's going on.

[@HereticsRight]

It would be cool if once a month or so you did a novice skewed video, maybe with just 1000 points per side. Do a similar format to 40k in 40 minutes but take a little more time explaining how the scoring works for each turn, what moves each player is taking to fulfill each secondary, what each secondary is and why it is either easy or hard, etc. Each month change up the factions so it stays fresh and each game helps explain how a different faction plays. It would have to be a bit more casual so maybe instead of cutaways the players just say what moves they are planning at the table, just to streamline the production process.

[@johanlarsen7656]

Idk, I see the appeal, but I've learned the rules from watching - I think it'd be a shame if they changed the format and risked the videos going over basic stuff to cater for an audience that'll also get bored when they've seen a few when they understand it.

Pretty sure Mubin killed everyone on set with that one. It was a good one

[@RmAFearox]

On one hand I love to see Nids but on the other I see Mubin playing them which, so far I think, always resulted in losses which hurts so much

[@91elpiris]

tycho crushed a game not so long ago playing nids... mubin definitely plays a bit too casually, both building lists and during the matches. You can't get away with that as tyranids, which are already underpowered enough. Walking up in front of an eldar fireline dooes not seem like a great plan.

[@Xhumed]

Just as planned...

[@justinmsc5]

Eldar is too consistent for casual, and Nids don't have any tricks big enough to overcome it with a lucky spike. This was pretty much decided on roll off. Nids needed to go first or play a much stronger list. Technically Mubin made the right play by deploying super aggressive. He had to do that + go first to have a decent chance. He just didn't win the roll. If he didn't deploy like that and lost less in Turn 1, the whole game would have played out pretty much the same way. Everything moving up a turn slower and getting shot to pieces while JT sits on objectives.

[@RoadRunnerAldrin]

[@ColmarrPlays]

Kudos to Mubin for being such a good sport but this video was a miss for me. It felt like watching a teenager (eldar) beat up a toddler (tyranids) for 40 mins. I suspect the terrain was largely to blame. It looks like relatively little terrain that blocks LOS against an army as fast as eldar and nothing for the tyranids to move through to get cover. Against eldar shooting thats a death sentence.

[@jtmcdowell2331]

There was actually quite a bit of LoS blocking terrain; however the infiltrate and scout moves combined with insane sustained hits rolls on the windriders completely blunted Mubins first push. I also purposely didn't move forward to take objectives in the midboard on my turn foregoing any primary to give myself more time to shoot and make him come to me. Had he reached me sooner, T3 just doesn't hold up.

[@jorgemontero6384]

The way he sets them up and uses the units, an the way that Tyranids win games are barely related to each other. When you compare the list and plans to John Lennon's or Sam Pope's, you see it's basically a different faction from what we see played here. If you bring a neurolictor and some genestealers, and both are easily shot at, and then obliterated before you even move, something went very wrong before turn 1 began

[@GeorgioSubs]

Damn I can't believe how one sided that was. Space elfs are scary.
