For the last two games Warhammer 40k in 40m in 2023 we are bringing back past Season Champions to crown a new Champion. Rupert is back with his beautiful Samurai inspired Aeldari from Season 1 to face Tak and his military inspired Adeptus Mechanicus that claimed victory in Season 2. Tycho, winner of Season 3, will face the winner of this match.
Both players built lists inspired from their season winning forces and also decided to not duplicate any datasheet. Lists here: pastebin.com/pjbcWXw8

[@lukestange]

that falcon in rupert's army is absolutely stunning.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

It is always a joy to see in studio

[@painisweaknessleavingthebo302]

Absolutely gorgeous! The freehand art on everything from the script on the falcon to the blossoms on the bikes, amazing stuff!

[@benjaminloyd6056]

The Skitarri Marshal pushed into the battle-scarred building, instantly crouching behind a pile of debris. Just around the corner a clutch of Eldari swooping hawks surveyed their surroundings, the rangers they had just blasted still lay smoking on the floor. The Marshal raised his voxcaster, his voice a controlled screech. He sent a message directly to the now-leaderless War Robots a full block away. "Machine units, fire on my position." The obedient Robots turned and poured phosphor-blasts into the wrecked structure, blowing loose masonry and plaster everywhere as the Hawks were incinerated. The Marshal stood alone, spared from the fusilade by chance, or the advanced targeting arrays of an age long gone.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Love this visual! Great storytelling

[@sixsevenfour]

Amazing painting job on that Ynnari army!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

A passion project that has paid off. We think it looks great too

[@Khorzho]

Indeed! Amazing designs.

[@thefloridaman41]

Great battle, loved seeing these two under appreciated armies.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Glad you enjoyed it as we want to give screen time to as many factions we can get our hands on

[@JusNoBS420]

@@PlayOnTabletop please do! Seems like a lot of Orks, Space Marines, and Tau on the channel. Could just be short term memory lol

[@purplefood1]

Yeah these factions both have such awesome potential for modelling and painting

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Despite maybe appearing like a big KZbin creator our team is limited in the armies we own. For factions we don't personally have we rely on the incredible awesomeness of our guests. Hopefully we can expand our studio collections in the future

[@papaquaalude8227]

As a fellow follower of the omnissiah, watching Tak play is like watching a master swordsman at work

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I really appreciate that! I hope fellow Adeptus Mechanicus players enjoy seeing their faction played because I do enjoy playing the faction a lot!

[@laynev5023]

​@@PlayOnTabletop I've never played WH40k but out of the blue was surprised with a set of Skitarii Rangers this Christmas. My budget and attention span put me firmly in Kill Team territory, so I'd love to see Tak and his AdMechs in a KT game sometime!

[@pandasiah5264]

@PlayOnTabletop I'm new to the hobby but mechanicus is the army I'm starting, this was great to watch

[@codyott1982]

Can't wait for the next battle, as Tycho is one of my favorite players to watch.

[@TerminusMaximus]

Rolling three 1’s and calling it a “Simpsons fish” 😂

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Glad we are not the only ones that like this reference

[@xzeke666x]

rupert is a really good stragegist when he plays, and so is tak so this was a really nice game to watch

[@troutwarrior6735]

Every time you guys upload a 40k battle report, I get so excited! As a new guy, your videos were always easy to understand, and this channel has taught me everything I know about playing tabletop. Cheers to another season! Hope to see more Guard with the new codex!

[@HinokasArabfan1]

*blasts noosphere on full volume*

[@jamessouth243]

Great to see Rupert back on the channel, truely is the gentleman general and hopefully we see more of him in the future 🎉

[@deamzhang7338]

I saw the title and I wonder ‘Admech has no chance, I’m gonna wait and watch it tomorrow’ Then I saw a fun list of so many aspect warriors, an Autarch and a Falcon. The game was closer than I thought. Tak has the gut to bring Admech that is not Veteran Cohort and still managed to have a close game. Kudos to Tak

[@maximpact4070]

Man i love the Japan-styled Ynnari army. Looks really awesome

[@PlayOnTabletop]

It does!

[@rjfrantz539]

I've only found this channel in the last month and I'm HOOKED! Keep it up guys!!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Welcome! Enjoy the ride!

[@ScionOfSangunius]

Rupert is such a chill player, and his early screen time on POTT inspired me to start my ynarri force, which is now big enough it includes a titan. Rupert, my wallet will never forgive you (:

[@PlayOnTabletop]

That's quite impressive considering Rupert was on Season 1 and that was not all that long ago.

[@ScionOfSangunius]

@@PlayOnTabletop thanks!

[@ScionOfSangunius]

@@duetbreaker the mistake wasn’t the roll, it was he had missed key information about the situation. Plus TAK offered it to him, prob because he was having the worst rolls of anyone on the channel possibly and he was being a champ about it

[@BOBOFSAGGET]

This channel has the absolute best format of presenting battles in my opinion. I was a new player some months back when I first watched this channel and I absorbed SO MUCH information without knowing anything because of this format! Thank you for that

[@justinkankam1989]

Tak is one of my favourite players. I re watch his ultramarines battles all the time. Loving the ad mech can’t wait to see how this plays out. And I love rapid redeployment. I used it in my last 2 games which I won

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Thank you so much! Glad you are enjoying playing Ultramarines and yes rapid redeployment is sooo good! Congrats on your wins

[@wilky1189]

Absolutely incredible paint job on the Ynarri. Love the cherry blossoms and the samurai banners

[@ryanshout8652]

Another great battle report from the Play On studio! You guys have the best editing and production style for BRs.

[@JeiDamani]

Love it when the Ynnari show up. GG Rupert & Tak!

[@chriswilson1372]

Season champion is the best!!!!! I look forward to this all year. So excited to see what happens next. Also I’m hoping it’s the Year of Steve!

[@ryanshout8652]

Steve! Steve! Steve!

[@erikhamar2102]

amazing painting work Rupert! Always a joy to see the omnisiah represented.

[@AdamSpokes]

The freehand…. Legit ❤

[@SpaceKadetMegaStar]

Love it! A battle to decide who rolls dice better! 😂 you guys crack me up!

[@kos4life]

The production quality is insane btw

[@veteranofbaal8232]

You guys rock, keep it up.

[@smokapopierdolio1157]

u cant regain more than one cp per round, so seer off the shifting vector doesnt work when u gained cp from spell, also visarch doesnt give rerolls of one to hit for falcon because it isnt core

[@OreoPriest]

Rupert said he hasn't played any 40k since the last finals, which was 8th edition, so both mistakes are understandable! It cuts both ways; he probably didn't realize just how much he could exploit battle focus on the swooping hawks, so he deployed them in plain old deep strike, which was probably a mistake.

[@Hans-gk1hr]

Home sick and catching up on 40k. Thanks guys. Rupert gorgeous paint job!!

[@SunBearerofEl]

Love seeing Rupert’s Ynnari in action. Ynnari in general are such underdogs. Especially how he’s played his list.

[@Scritscratch]

Great episode!

[@TheJerbol]

Nice, two armies rarely seen here

[@williamculverwell7738]

Love you guys so much, I joined Patreon and will continue to support however I can!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Thank you so much! It’s much appreciated

[@narrativecrusades707]

Another great game from you guys, It may have been 4 years but you have grown faster than some channels who have been at it 15 years!

[@bluecapgun785]

Awesome game! excited for part 2

[@emilienmoussie809]

Glad to see some pointy ears boys on the channel. Amazing battle report !

[@AdriWan]

Thanks for showing the might of Yinnead

[@hufferou812]

A turn one slap fight turned into knuckle dusters from two on wards. Great game all, great video!

[@Unknown-qj9sm]

So great report, love to see Ynnari show up. For future reference I you cannot have multiple copies of a fate dice. It counts as 1 instance of its given roll per turn.

[@OreoPriest]

You definitely are allowed multiple copies of a fate dice. The example in the codex is keeping 2,2,5,5, and using all of them.

[@abraxas365]

Aeldari rule, Mon'Keigh drool.

[@kamomo9147]

I am new to Warhammer 40k and I have found watching your channel to be really helpful in understanding the mechanics of the game and figuring out which army I want to invest in and play. 😁

[@TheNarwhal85]

Rupert's ynnari are awesome love to see him back

[@TNAralwaysfun]

There can only be one. Can't wait to see how these Champs play out

[@Roxfall]

Phantasm redeploy does not work like this. You have to place these units INSIDE your deployment zone, you can't use advanced positions, scout abilities, etc.

[@captainweekend5276]

Does it? Reading the stratagem it doesn't specify needing to redeploy them in your deployment zone: "Use this Stratagem at the start of the first battle round, before the first turn begins. Select up to three ASURYANI, HARLEQUINS or YNNARI units (excluding TITANIC units) from your army and redeploy them. If the mission uses the Strategic Reserves rules, any of those units can be placed into Strategic Reserves without having to spend any additional CPs, regardless of how many units are already in Strategic Reserves. If both players have abilities that redeploy units, roll off; the winner chooses who redeploys their units first. You can only use this Stratagem once."

[@zeiphie]

The audible "Oh no!" from off camera caught me off guard and I'm dying 🤣

[@braden459]

Love your admech! Wp to both of you!

[@thebatman1646]

The fact that not only did dragoons actually accomplish something, they killed three important units is a miracle.

[@slthlrdz]

Fantastic looking armies here.

[@tomb1686]

that object source lighting paintjob on Tak's sulphurhound is *glorious*

[@tomfavreau]

Anyone know if Tak has a showcase or post somewhere of his mechanicus army? I love how he did them!

[@rathstar]

Great battle report. Everytime I see Tyco with his Ad Mech I want to put my Ad Mech on the field.

[@Basch2007]

i love the entire design choice of Rupert's army looking all based with the Sakura style paint job to it

[@XMan-mi6gs]

I like this channel very much. I started with 4 friends to play wh40k half a year a go. As a new player, I am playing with the Ultramarines. We play 500pts games to learn. But we allready enjoy community, painting models, collecting and try out strategies. This channel inspires what a community as friends can achieve. Good luck to all you guys with the channel and play on!

[@RavenUSIMP]

Thanks for bringing Rupert back!!

[@VIC-ds8pd]

he always wins

[@vardaangupta7128]

chaos vs Eldar I cannot wait for this next match go Tycho !

[@Spoonergasm]

Love seeing some Eldar and Admech armies played! It's a nice change from all the Tau ;)

[@wyvern876]

It's great seeing guys from your early episodes make a comeback. Mike, Alex, and now Rupert! Makes me wonder what Sterling and his hat are up to... Also, I hope you guys got Rupert to stick around for an army showcase. Those converted units and free-hand work looked incredible.

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Rupert brought his katana !!!

[@Bluecho4]

Those are such beautiful Eldar models.

[@wojciechgrzybek4122]

Great game Guys.

[@shaneskelton9625]

Well played guys!

[@leiziru9642]

Beautiful armies!

[@Lord_Vesh]

Looks like the Ynnari have been getting into Eldrad’s manga collection

[@warhammer1104]

You cant redeploy in the midfield with phantasm. And you cant gain more then 1 cp per round.

[@ovevollertsen7025]

7:40 that's Lord Tyrach on his Breacher form armies of the veiltouched Tak is painting

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Tycho's challenge awaits a challenger. Tyrach awaits prey

[@joakimandersson7769]

"I shoot the Balistarius" "The Balistarius or the Dragoon?" "The Dragoon, that's why I said the Dragoon" Like ma dude, if you're gonna be the cheaty guy, don't act cocky about it to make your opponent feel bad 🤣

[@nimmha6708]

Is there a army showcase planned for clearly the best army on this channel? We need close-ups on those Eldar.... All of them, with tutorials/how to's how he did the conversions..

[@christyrogers7707]

What's the deal with Rupert and the sword? Lucky charm? Anyway another great 40k in 40m,armies & table look superb. Interesting watching how all the different factions handle. Thank you for a very entertaining game. Also does anyone else keep expecting JT to end with "Good fight, Good night"? Lol

[@PlayOnTabletop]

He found it in Tak's office. It went with the theme of his army

[@clarencehernandez8976]

LOVE IT

[@lite165]

Loved it

[@MentoliptusBanko]

That sword is scary :)

[@kyuubifox33]

Those orange dice xD living in Two Town lol

[@Marmite037]

Rupert was so lucky omg. I have never seen so many succesful command rerolls becoming fives and sixes

[@Fire_bellied_Newt_Sorcerer]

Maybe it’s time I finally played Mechanicus, it’s been sitting in my to play list for awhile

[@ericsuarez5751]

Admech are really weak rn. I still love playing them but just keep that in mind

[@stax6092]

Great Game.

[@captaincorundum9788]

I play AdMech and man... I feel that loss. One day we'll rise up again!

[@nickboyles64]

good game guys

[@negativeman1251]

That zangetsu replica is sweet

[@Black_Blow_Fly]

Rupert is back 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@alexiivanov5558]

The Japanese motif on the Ynnari is badass!

[@mangost2008]

i havent even seen it yet but i already can tell who is gonna win

[@peters6345]

Oof those t1 eldar player rolls hurt my heart

[@user-mk6rq4mq6l]

The eldar are stunning

[@alecmiller5296]

Great game but I can’t wait to see the Child of Chaos grind the xenos under his heel!

14:20 “the only thing I know for real”

[@ryuujin83]

Rupert! Rupert! Rupert!

[@B__C__]

These special morale dice available on the merchandise page!

[@hunberyt4988]

Rupert army had so many proxies

[@pkpong]

That falcon looks beautiful tbh

[@DoubIeO]

Sadly you do not get a CP with Seer of the Shifting Vector if you have already gained a CP otherwise in that Battleround from Fateful Divergence

[@DK-zl5gb]

That Falcon...wow

[@damdumah2552]

Need more dakka dakka

[@marzelp4480]

Love you guys can’t wait for death guard thycus. He is the best!

[@Idontfeelsafe86]

All I know about warhammer is from dawn of war soulstorm onr of my fav games. It's cool to see units I've never heard of. Wish I could get into the tabletop version.

[@ThePortarro]

Did the final video get posted? I can’t seem to find the final season champion video 😅

[@coldpsyker1354]

Wow I remember that first report yall showed Has it seriously been 4 years? It feels more like a year, maybe a year and a half.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We have been going at it for a few years now and are aiming for many more years to come

[@Sneakyrabbi88]

Just because of this channel it makes me want to learn how to play 40k. I was always interested in the lore but never played it or owned any minis. What would be a good group to really start learning? I was leaning towards Guards/Votann/Choas/Necrons or Space Marines. Would love feed back on what to choose. Thanks and Love all the videos.

[@tamriel7570]

Choose the one you're most interested in.

[@VIC-ds8pd]

based off of lore, aesthetic, and general playstyle pick which army you like the most. also ive heard that a low model count army is easier for beginners to wrap their head around

[@LatinATSax]

Anyone know if tak was using the newest dataslate that basically removed all the debuffs previously put on the ad mech?

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I did play with the latest version which is just going back to the native codex state.

[@LatinATSax]

@@PlayOnTabletop sweet!

[@RealDoctorVancouver]

Falcon Punch!!!

anther fantastic battle, cant wait for the next, oh wait yep Patreon the other episoide just got released hell yea, thats one damn good reason to support you lads, watch the next episode :) Also cant wait for the dice to come up for sale. anyidea on a rough date?

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Dice are being manufactured as we speak and hopefully hitting an online store near you in Q1 of 2023.

I think we all at least knew you'd still be selling T-Shirts ;)
