Steve's face after Rahul said blood for the blood god 😂 cracked me up

[@TheCrispAlien]

A face that says, "I'm really raising this heretic‽"

[@TheWolfDude91]

I bursted out my soda laughing, really took me by surprise

[@gplog7197]

The mans is pulling up with some world eaters as soon as he can

[@thomashayes3783]

Dude I literally paused and cackled.

[@wolfwood8]

I freakin died😂 khorne is proud

[@urface716]

Steve's "I made a mistake" face after Rahultramarine began his descent to Chaos was the best.

[@SilentWanderer1990]

Best part of the video

[@3Xero3]

Really needs the Metal Gear Solid "!" noise.

[@namelessazure2896]

They fall so easily.😈

[@andrew1230981]

Can we get an introduction to chaos follow up.......... maybe even with Mini Wargaming :D

[@roberttanguay8532]

Ya, when Rahul said "blood for..." he didn't even finish saying it when Steve got a look of Quiet Dispare 😂 Great series guys

[@SockimusPrime]

“I my goal is to be able to beat Steve.” - I’m glad Rebecca sets nice, achievable goals for herself. That’s important.

[@sebastianblizniak5288]

Steve's face Rahultramarine turned to chaos was priceless

[@appleseedmg]

Rahul is so talented! I love this guy in everything Mike Flanagan puts out and now he's playing 40k!

[@chand911]

What a funny joke you just told.

[@grimwill7686]

I am now invested in Rebecca's goal to defeat Steve. With 10th edition around the corner and the Tyranids resurging, this could be her year.

[@PoppyModePlays]

The look on Steve’s face when he realized they should have given Rahul a Khornite combat patrol was PRICELESS

[@Gruchon]

Love Rahul in everything he is in. Like I know the internet picked Henry C for their nerd King but Rahul should be the King hands down. He plays in lets plays, he is a huge SW nerd, now this. Like everything he does it shows he actually does it for fun and enjoys it. Fing love the man!

[@Raubk0pierer]

I was like "Man, Rahul looks so much like the sheriff from Midnight Mass!" Turns out, it's him! 🤭

[@loganbond8538]

Why'd I pick Tau as my first faction. Well two reasons. 1. Pacific Rim style mechsuits 2. I listened to that first army showcase Nick did and said "A faction that is the good guys and works together! That's my faction"

[@shadowdevil126]

Yeah "good guys".... As long as you ignore the mind control

[@gasknight]

​@@shadowdevil126 Everyone in 40k is bad. The tau just don't throw themselves into melee when they can't win

[@borklazer5907]

As someone who plays Chaos Space Marines...it's kinda hard to argue that Tau are the bad guys because their leaders use mind control. Like yeah, their pheromone shenanigans are just as bad as sacrificing entire worlds worth of souls to the Ruinous Powers.

[@gasknight]

@@borklazer5907 Yeah and they don't really use it badly, I mean in just a couple of millennia they became a threat the imperium had to fight

[@shadowdevil126]

@@borklazer5907 just because they aren't as bad as the Satan worshippers doesn't mean they aren't bad

[@chrisletendre8878]

Steve, that look on your face there when Rahul-tra Marine said "Blood for the Blood God" was priceless! xD

[@mistformsquirrel]

Rahul with the "way too intimidated to start" - I feel that. I feel that so hard. I was introduced to the game through Dawn of War (like so many folks) and because at the time it wasn't as big in the US (and also nerdy hobbies like this were still kinda shunned broadly - oh how times have changed!) it was... difficult to get started. I'm really glad it's become more accessible and we've got cool folks like Nick and Steve to help people get into things. As far as factions - I started with Marines (as most do), but when I came back from my super long break got into Genestealer Cults because I had this idea in my head to do Space Pirates, and their rules are *so* perfect for that kind of rag-tag plucky underdog kinda group. They also just have a super cool aesthetic with their bodysuits and vehicles. The ability to steal stuff from the Guard is also super fun. And some of their units like Hybrid Metamorphs and Aberrants are great for representing mutants who aren't necessarily Chaos followers. (Yeah I'm pretty excited for the Beastmen coming out soon...) I do however also have a resurgent Marine addiction (well... Quasi-marine, it's a whole thing, don't worry about it) - and with them a lot of it comes down to "Power armor is cool as heck, and using Horus Heresy-era vehicles is also cool as heck." Oh and Terminators are extremely cool. ... look sometimes my reasoning really does boil down to "Hehe... make the brain chemicals go brrrr" and marines are very, very good at that. (With maybe a little witchcraft on the side. Don't worry about it.)

[@MiniPaintAdventurer]

Love the idea of this series! Hopefully they will be ready to go when 10th launches and they can take what they’ve learned and adapt to the new style of play.

[@lukaspopp94]

Man i was literally re-watching Midnight Mass yesterday, thd one of my favorite series in the last couple of years with an outstanding performance from Rahul, saying some of the must down to earth stuff about religion, brilliantly delivered. Welcome to the hobby 😁

[@robbyag0ny]

Rahul’s “Blood for the Blood God!” made me so happy. I’m sold.

[@TamashiiSenpai]

Rahul!!!! YESS!! i cannot wait to see more of him on the channel ive been following him for so long hes an amazing actor

[@TheSMC1988]

"blood for the blood god" Steve's face lmao

[@AndrewNarog]

Man, the standard Space Marine box is *not* the box for Rahal if he wants a "hammer" approach. Basically zero melee with all the Phobos marines. Looking forward to seeing how this all plays out, and hopefully how both Rahal and Rebecca might expand beyond the Combat Patrol boxes.

[@Dawg_thumbs]

Oh man Rahul! I hope you introduce this to Bruce and Lawrence!! Itd be so cool to see you guys play someday

[@philoktitis7]

Is there a video on how Tak paints his Ultramarines? They look awesome!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We are trying to get him to make one. Maybe one day.

[@philoktitis7]

@@PlayOnTabletop That would be amazing! You guys play with the best looking armies, and Tak's is my favorite. I would guess a lot of people would love to see his method!

[@purplepurrpurrin]

So happy we got to see the rahultramarine with the rahul head!

[@MJWhitto]

So I joined the hobby in January after deciding to give it a go. It's taken me till April to choose an army and now I'm test painting models before I decide the best scheme. I think I might be overthinking it but at least I'm enjoying it. 😂

[@titan8994]

Love thus channel. Really am enjoying this series. Yall should do a series on everyone at table top and there individual armies of choice. I think that would be an amazing insight to the channel

[@PlayOnTabletop]

If you look back on the videos we kinda have. There’s a lot of army showcases.

[@machinegunred2422]

I knew Rahul looked very familiar he was in the "I Zombie" show. He is my favorite character from that show. Looking forward to the battle.

[@specimenlarry6068]

What a great way to get news players into the game. Nicely done.

[@augustochuko]

I like the banter between Rahul and Steve!

[@raypang8400]

those ultra marine already show signs of chaos corruption, lmao

[@creolekolbytv1252]

I would love for the next episode showing Rahul converting his box of ultramarines into World Eaters😂

[@RevanR]

Whose factions got the best miniatures is the best way to go, because Rules can be changed but the miniatures stay with you

[@TheBbrian100]

i was so happy to see rahul hes super cool and im glad he got into warhammer

[@Oncomancer]

For me and my Necrons, it was love at first sight, though the Sisters of Battle were a close second

[@cavemanbum]

I think a better place to start gathering models would be to prowl the secondary market such as eBay, and not only save a ton of money, but get a lot of variety for whatever army you plan on building. 😉

[@jeronimo486]

I love Rahuls work. Lovely to learn he's "one of us" =)

[@attilaszabo5029]

Good to see you on this channel, Rahul XD Anyway thank you for the Midnight Mass series, you played the sh#t out of your character, you are a freakin' good actor, and love to watch the Steve/Rahul word-duel :) Please stay with us long as you can 🙏 :) #teamRahultramarines

[@hoshi314]

Reasons i picked Necrons : 1. Reanimation protocol means i can say "i lived, bitch" 2. Easiest to paint, metallic or flat colors there you go 3. Undead faction, i always pick undead faction if i can 4. Lives in tomb worlds which my house is always treated as my own Tomb World 5. Hates getting their stuff fiddled around by people like the Admech or a neighbors kid

[@panzerpriest9220]

I love that Steve and I had the same reaction to Rahul's warcry for Khorne

[@apostlepaintingminis]

I love that they used the Combat Patrols, super cool excited for the new 10th edition format for small scale games and would love to see more content on them!

[@Royalgecko-zp8zd]

I love seeing Tyranid gameplay of any kind on the Chanel!

[@ThyoCyanate]

Rahultramarine casually dropping some serious heresy

[@JJCaustic]

"so what made you pick ultramarines?" "because im basic steve."

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

These introduction videos are incredible!

[@stax6092]

Welcome to the game RahulTramarine.

[@SulliverVittles]

I've been binging iZombie and Midnight Mass. I knew Rahul was into mini painting but did not expect to see him on here at all. I love it.

[@Jordanpascal]

Im a big fan of Rahul since the haunting of bly manor, good show, and now hes a ultramarine like me. thats dope!

[@Shuller883]

"Blood for the blood god" -rahultramarine that sounds like heresy!

[@saintpatron8177]

Rahul! A surprise to be sure but a welcome one.

[@wobinich2009]

"Rahultramarine" earned my instant like.

[@Dracobyte]

Thank you for these tutorial videos!

[@brucebracken9679]

I've been playing 40k for over a year now and have a decent understanding of the game, but I really enjoy this series. :)

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Perfect! That’s what we were hoping for! Thank you. :)

[@josav09]

Should've told Rahul that Space Marines also come in Khorne Red

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Check out rahulkohlipaints on Instagram and he was already painting blue when we first met. Though, that doesn't mean he will only paint blue I suppose.

[@CMTechnica]

“This is a Phobos Lt!” *shows Phobos captain despite the fact there’s an actual Phobos Lt in the combat patrol box* The Phobos Lt doesn’t have a camo cloak

[@Thefrozenarrow]

this reminds me of when i took my first box of Space Marines home. excited to see how these two fare.

[@powrongster]

Rahultramarines might turn heretics, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

[@GriffinPlays617]

Can't wait to see a Rebecca vs Steve match at some point

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We do have to make this happen

[@Captain_Ironblood]

I started out with Blood Angels because of the red color scheme, but I ultimately fell in love with the Astra Militarum because average non superhumans with balls of steel is so badass to me.

[@renevil2105]

A fellow Guardsmen!!!!

[@wolvie90]

I'm sorry but ugly?! My beautiful bugs are NOT ugly I tell you what! Scary and out of this world for sure but never ugly!

[@dankcat9923]

I chose chaos knights as my first army since they are quite easy army to start and their lore was awesome, they also look sick too

[@harryb7661]

Not many know this but Rahultramarine can site the holy scriptures of Star Wars pre-quals off by heart.

[@Dewoy1]

Oh gawd, not one minute into the hobby, and already heresy!

[@blurescent9891]

Rahul from Funhaus.

[@DewepOxR]

Wow wasn't expecting to see Rahul on this channel, he was great in midnight mass!

[@Itsallover57]

Well, it turns out Rahul really is a space marine.

[@2guys1cliplol]

If Rahul doesn't make an Apothecary mini based off his character from izombie it'll be a missed opportunity 😂

[@sha_663]

Lucky him, World Eaters are strong

[@et4206]

love Rahul, proper good lad

[@Thingymabob1000]

I've always been a fan of like spellcaster/tricky styles for characters and armies. Started with chaos daemons (mainly Tzeentch) but when I saw Thousand Sons. It was a fluff win if I make a mixed force. But a perfect play style and great aesthetic. So I've been a heretic ever since.

[@BlareWolfgang]

I can’t wait for Rahuls boys in blue to change for Khorne red one day… Blood for the blood god

[@the_guitarcade]

Rahultramarine: Blood for the blood god. Space Marine Steve's face: Oh, no! The heresy! My cat: If you don't stop laughing at that video, I'm going to add your skull to my skull throne.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

This comment wins the day

[@cptred1414]

Rahul is now my favorite Player.

[@aaronwilkinson2519]

id love to be part of a video, I've just been getting into the Warhammer magazine storm bringer, and i have a rough idea on how to play but want to have an actual go at playing.

Rahul flying the British flag onto the tabletop; God speed, sir!

[@NattoMeister]

What I wanna know is where Rahul got that custom head piece for the assault intercessor?

[@cooperkleemann2955]

I started tau cause they reminded me of titanfall. After getting ~4.5k points I've started with tyranids and have 1500points

Holy Shit Rahuls painting is damn good.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

It really is!

[@markbauby7442]

@@PlayOnTabletop The guy has some serious talent. I wonder how long he has been painting (unless I missed it in the video)

[@Metalmachine18]

Hmmm interesting these two people happened to ‘pick’ the two poster boy factions of the imminently launching new edition. Very interesting

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Check out @rahulkohlipaints on Instagram and you will see he was already into Ultramarines and Rebecca played Genestealers in our Kill Team series from last year. This series was also shot months back and then some circumstances delayed our editing and subsequent release of it.

[@jhughes4707]

is there a video that show cases the tyranid paint scheme here? i like it a lot

Not sure the end of 9th is the best way to learn the game, with the 10th coming so soon.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Understood. We shot these a few months ago and its release got delayed but we feel there is a lot of general ideas and basics that will be good regardless of edition.
