The Beach is ours! T'au vs Blood Angels 40k Battle.

[@theoleadfoot2864]

Holy crap Nick wasnt kidding when he said "repainting", they look Amazing!

[@burnin8able]

not only that, but are his Vespids actualy Halo ODSTs with winged jump packs? because aside from the Tau hoof feet, that's what they look like, and it's such a cool effect.

[@purplefood1]

@@burnin8able Potentially an infinity model i'm not sure but the helmet definitely has that vibe.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

The are a conversion. Swapped the heads and put on a fancy backpack from puppetswar.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Thanks! Means a lot!

[@Pajamas.Tepanek]

@@PlayOnTabletop I also recently started to repaint a lot of my own tau collection, if they look about half as good I'll be very happy

Good thing Nick had his Beacher Team there when the Flood Angles arrived.

What a match! So happy as always to sponsor Play on Tabletop! Hope people like all the love for the T'au in this new kickstarter campaign.

I'm definitely getting the bundle. FOR THE GREATER GOOD!

[@flaviomonteiro1414]

Best comment I've seen in a while 😂

[@quinnbell2388]

to be fair, seems less like he doesn't kill anything because he split fire and more like his opponents simply roll well.

[@Aftershk]

Whenever JT talked about "Deploy Homers", my mind kept visualizing a bunch of Homer Simpson clones in power armor popping out of a drop pod to secure an area. 😅

[@laoxep]

Why you little!!!-whilst choking a Tau.

[@MrMarshmallow662]

Doh!

[@Only_Parky]

Steve’s dice rolls were insane

[@Dragon_Fyre]

Secondaries tell stories 😅

[@steaky6523]

I love how there’s almost a mutual agreement on not explicitly chasing meta builds. It’s the perfect balance of professional and thematic. People aren’t here to win they’re here to have fun and I love that

[@justinsinke2088]

I honestly feel like this tropical board is my favorite battlefield you guys have.

[@harry1988pl]

Am I the only one that noticed on 27:50 Pathfinders rail raifles wound on 6 which is devastating wounds? that would turn this game around much earlier...

[@tristanemery8748]

Nah man, I realised that too

[@Slermman]

Went to comment section just to find that one

[@MrUdarr]

everyone makes mistakes even the best gamers

[@ProfessorPhysics2]

T'au Nick has been getting back to back close victories, I swear. First the White Scars and now the Blood Angels.

[@zachnoland155]

Hammerheads whiffing every single opportunity is such a vibe

[@roninmcgachey4450]

I don’t why but something about nick makes me feeling like right before he goes to bed he says one nice thing about everyone he knows then kisses all his t’au

[@eallaterza]

Damn... that last single point of difference could be the same one Nick made in the very first battle round, when he scored 3 points for secondaries to Steve's 2s!

[@brandonwoods2985]

God those deadly print studios effects on your models just look so good. This channel has the best painted armies in 40K.

[@plagueprincess1870]

i just love nick. i get angry at games maybe a bit too easily, but the way he encourages you to do well and his excitement. its all so infectious

[@drrhino_]

Oh hey the commander I painted for nick! Guess I'm rooting for the tau today!

"The greater good never rest until the universe achieve harmony" -ToaNick- TauNick Dude that paint job is well done, as if Nick painting an army of Macross' Skull squadron

[@Gay-briel_not_Gabriel]

I think it is TauTak now

[@orangeninja3]

27:49 Railrifles have Dev wounds so those 2 6's should of been Auto 3 damage each

[@ericbrooks3950]

Came to say this! The Terminators in the middle should have been dead turn 3 and Nick should have held the middle and been able to fire Longstrike at something else. Not to mention the Commander and Crisis Suits. That would have definitely improved his score and left Steve hanging much earlier.

[@keetonmitchell4669]

I was wondering about that when I heard rail rifles were being used. Then again I was hearing numbers that were not lining up in a few places so I kinda just filtered it out (I swear I heard an ap 3 shot at some point get turned into basically ap nothing?). In the end victory still went to Nick so end result is the same, but tight game none the less.

[@Simalacrum]

This is a small thing but I really like the BGM choice for these videos - really adds to the coolness vibes to these games 😎

[@Astartesparty]

Steve’s blood angels are crusty :p compared to his new paint jobs . Can see a clear improvement in his painting journey ❤❤❤

[@fynnnr]

Nick should do an updated army showcase

[@mattyotank1297]

Ayyyy just rewatched the last time Tau and Blood Angels faced off on this channel! Talk about good timing lmao

[@Jamison-kh5wu]

Nick’s enthusiasm with the ups AND the downs of the game is the whole reason I plan on getting into the hobby side of this game

[@sailingdutchman1049]

Absolutely love these battle reports! I always watch them while building some of my guard. Keep up the amazing work lads!

[@Astrospill]

It's so good to see Steve with his energy back. I hope you are doing well!

[@tojajestemmiszczem7926]

Great match. Both players gave it everything they could. Result wasnt certain until the end. That's some peak warhammer right there.

[@fiasco_games4131]

Really love seeing the "Classic" Marine vehicles in the list. Looks like a great mix of old and new in this BA list. Love you guy's production values.

[@Victorious_Battle]

STEEEEEVE, I SEE YOU!!!!!!! The guy with the hammer made it through that skirmish! Brutal, bro.

[@eamonpate396]

Hey there quick rules commentary. the guiding unit has to shoot after the guided unit, doesn't matter a huge amount but some player can be very picky about this

[@DocDocGoose15]

I love the though that the T'au were just casually chilling on a beach and the Blood Angels felt like that was an affront to the Emperor

Heads-up, pathfinder rail rifles have devastating wounds - so the 6’s to wound should’ve stripped away terminator saves entirely!

Great game you two. I loved that it came down to a snipe on the Librarian at the end of the game.

Nick's army looks so awesome, I strive to have a tau army as cool as that. he's the whole reason i got into warhammer, might even steal the paint schemes 👀

By the emperor that was a really tight game! Always a blast watching 40k games. Looking forward to more MCP games though. Those were fun to watch as well.

watching this game all i can think of is with the Furioso is the line from the DOW 2 opening cinematic dreadnaught "I've come to destroy you".
