So Lethal we had to play two games. Admech vs Knights. Warhammer 40k in 40 minutes

The craziest end to a Warhammer 40k game we've seen here! This game is sponsored by Moonbreaker from Unknown Worlds, an innovative digital tabletop experience, within a universe crafted by renowned author Brandon Sanderson. store.steampowered.com/app/84...
Bridger from @TabletopTitans was in studio and wanted to play the big stompy robots. Tak obliged with the Adeptus Mechanicus and painted up the new Cerastus Knight Lancer for this bout.
These two factions are devastating to each other and we could see destruction at a scale we have not yet seen on 40k in 40m this season. 10th edition Imperial Knights versus Adeptus Mechanicus with allied Knight. 2,000 points. Lists below.

"You can't have this objective, I'm going to die." This is why I love 40k games so much. You couldn't write a funnier outcome.

[@angrypicture6155]

Seriously tho, what on earth was that ^^

[@BoisegangGaming]

To be fair, that is like, the most Imperial Knightly thing to do.

[@neonzaku7886]

I thought the core rule book for tenth says the tabling your opponent is now a win? It's like the last thing that it says in the core rules PDF...

[@joshbridges8410]

Thats my understanding to@@neonzaku7886

[@thedandy6765]

i read this in mary janes voice from that spiderman game on ps2

[@moderndavinci6599]

Respect to the Castellan for """willingly"""... ensuring... the victory.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Yes. "Willingly"...

[@Bluecho4]

"Even in death, I serve the Emperor. _Especially_ in death, in fact."

[@orkyboy6446]

High emphasis on “willingly”

[@briansalloum9259]

Knights make the game so swingy it drives me crazy but you definitely need to trade Nick and Adrian since you technically both won!

[@stuartlittledrowning4965]

Admech also hitting on 4's with very rare rerolls makes the game swingy. Units have a 50% chance of doing nothing with their low accuracy low volume of fire weapons. Keep in mind admech got absolutely fucked by twinlinked, every lascannon in the army got its shots cut in half. And therefore their damage potential more than halved pared with the bad BS.

[@minimaher82]

You let Bridger play Knights?! You only have yourself to blame...

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I take full responsibility

[@Seigerootz]

You played Bridger you underestimate his power to roll 4s and 9 inch charges

[@Shady_Blue]

34:40 for JT's description of Cawl's gun

[@stuartlittledrowning4965]

He way overhyped it. Its a damage 3 shotgun.

[@justinsinke2088]

That was a weird set of games, but highly entertaining.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Weird Warhammer. Yep. Just Weird Warhammer.

[@amandag.6186]

​@@PlayOnTabletop Weirdhammer 40k

[@ianmckendrick4753]

Now this was entertaining. Also since both armies scored a win I think both players get their bet

[@tmartinez32]

Tak, I want to thank you and your staffs' hard work in making this channel come together. You guys consistently entertain me with a game, that by all accounts, is normally boring to watch but fun to play. On your channel, this is hardly the case. Keep up the great work and I am enjoying seeing you guys grow exponentially!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

The team is very dedicated to making content that is entertaining for this community we love being a part of. Comments like this help keep us all motivated so thank you!

[@Casmael01]

Yeah genuinely great job on turning this game into something that’s fun and legible to watch. I’ve not played 40k, but have a really good time watching your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@dansmith9100]

Loved this. If we don't get more collabs between you guys, though, we will riot

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Bridger is welcome back any time

[@zodbones]

That was the strangest series of rounds I've ever seen and I loved every bit of it. First time seeing imperial knights and I have so many mixed feelings. As for the bet I say do both! Trade them!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Trade as in at the same time? Trade as in permanently?

[@PapaBradford]

Today I'm learning Bridger has a KZbin channel, i went to school with him. Good to know he's doing well!

[@bryansmart8845]

As an Admech guy, I loved this episode! Thanks Tak and PlayOn! The Omnissiah is pleased.

[@wyatttyson7737]

"Admech are really struggling right now" Last time they were on this channel they tabled Space Marines. This time they practically tabled knights (one of the strongest factions in the meta right now) in turn 1. Then tabled it in Turn 4, only losing because tabling isn't an autowin, and even then by only 3 points.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I am enjoying playing AdMech right now and was commenting on the latest Metawatch. Just goes to show that stats aren't the whole picture.

[@Highlaw]

Just keep in mind the SM game had a pretty disproportionate amount of bad rolls for the SM player, and this one the Admech list was 100% focused on anti-vehicle

[@cuboidham]

if admech go first they are brutal with the bonus AP, but a lot of their stuff feels expensive for its output and durability. they can definitely still work if the pieces come together, but they can also flub horribly and easily

[@wyatttyson7737]

@@cuboidham I agree, but Admech has always been the “High skill floor” faction, so its to be expected. Def need a points drop though. Maybe, say, 10 points on everything not a character with some units dropping a few points more?

[@anvos658]

To be fair they brought an Imperial Knight to be a door stop to stop the other group from being able to squish Admech, so I wouldn't call that so much Admech performance.

[@thegreatestpepe]

I'll quote a wonderful animated movie for this one. "Both?" "Both?" "Both." "Both is good."

[@wolfhunter98]

5:56 All I could think of is the old "Creeeeed!" meme of him bringing in titans.

[@skullsquad900]

This is the best Wargaming video I've ever seen. I love the little animations and the announcer's narration. It helps understand what is going on, while also making it entertaining, something most channels are definitely lacking.

[@scottcrompton6931]

NICE! Great report, fellas! So cool to see two games!! What a difference an initiative roll makes. This one was much appreciated, my thanks to everyone involved.

[@ViApp0]

That lancer is kinda crazy ngl.

[@Deadwarrior000]

Yo moonbreakers is actually really hype so I'm glad they sponsored the video

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We like it! We do get a decent amount of digital game sponsorship requests and this one seemed a good fit. You get to paint in the game and the gameplay is very familiar just digital instead.

[@ringsaround6961]

Absolutely love that you guys kept in the re-rack!

[@natedanforth9652]

This was a fantastic game. It showed some of the stranger side of 40k games, but also still displayed sportsmanship from all parties :) thanks y'all for a great batrep

[@MrThatpersonthatguy]

Bridger pulled the chess move of sacrificing his queen for a pawn and it won him the game

[@MinerDobie]

Moonbreaker looks like such an interesting way to get into both the game aspect of tabletop and the painting aspect! I'm genuinely excited to check it out.

[@ralfsstuff]

Nice, just the right video to spend my break from painting Wardogs.❤️

[@patrickdavis8271]

That game was AWESOME! Well played goes to both of you!

[@benjaminspannagel4327]

That was wild! Loved every second ❤

[@LateNightGaming27]

Just finished my Cerastus Lancer on Monday. Excited to play it tomorrow!

[@RowdiesFan1]

This was a superb episode!

[@AchanCham_]

It is super cool to see a Moonbreaker sponsorship! I really enjoy that game, can certainly recommend.

[@ToastimusPrime]

Yknow, since Tak won the first game and Bridger won the second, It is safe to say it should be BOTH. But Tak gets priority and sends Nick away first, and then once Nick is back TT sends Adrian to Canada

[@TIBlocker]

This was a delight to watch. What great games

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Thank you for another awesome battle report!!

[@tiberiumnp8030]

I KNEW split firing that Castellan was a massive mistake! It has so few shots, better to put all of them to the main target for sure.

[@chrisknight4087]

send them both. and the games....were amazing. love to see Tak roll like a boss.

[@wabbit2099]

That paint job on those knights is absolutely stunning.

[@innocentbystander309]

Yay! I love 40k collabs.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We've had so many incredible content creators visit this summer. Glad you are enjoying the collabs

[@HeartlessNinny1]

Amazing game(s)! Great stuff, everyone.

[@orkyboy6446]

I really hope to one day play against or with you guys and thanks for a amazing/confusing/hilarious game❤

[@Narutokun11]

Amazing game. I definitely vote for both "penalties" to be carried out lol.

[@commandersol932]

That was the wackiest game I've ever seen, those FNP saves? Insane The Castellan's winning sacrifice? Hilarious top quality content as always

[@MentallyLatent]

Those were some wild games and very enjoyable

[@americankid7782]

Love the paint on the Knights, my favorite is the purple one.

[@Tyrnak_Fenrir]

I think the first round was Nick disguised as Tak. Fantastic battrep, really entertaining. And you should definitely do a trade

[@andrewskondras3762]

love seeing Tak's admech they look so cool, would like to see how he did that amazing paint job

[@inquisitormalleus6435]

This was wild, Mysterious Hero indeed.

[@GamePie31]

This was hella entertaining

[@gunderd2]

both! hard to choose. Love Play On, but Nick is one fun player to watch. (really all of you are fun to watch). Thanks for your effort and it really has brought me into understanding the game a lot better. I love the lore but I've been hesitant to play the game. You probably are converting me to playing one day!

[@MrShinoTheBugman]

that was glorious

[@hughmac7423]

Hillarious!

[@shelkton.7991]

God those knights look amazing! Really pushes me to get back into 40k.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Art-W Studio does incredible work

[@kennethkitchens88]

Omg that rant about Cawls gun has me in tears! I strictly play ad Mech, and the rant was accurate!!!

[@TheGoopiestGoopa]

I need more Knights battle reports!!!

[@unruly_ronin]

Wild game you guys

[@Bamman223]

Those ad mech dice roll hot as fuck so often holy shit lol

[@jhonnycake1]

This was a really cool game, loved seeing all those knights on the board - once again, was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who was gonna pull ahead! Great video

[@Kibbet21]

Go Bridger stomp everywhere

[@jessebelt8732]

Task failed successfully

[@Tmaget]

That was wild god damn

[@alekseygee5228]

It's kind of funny that last week, I made a deck exactly like this but the orange paladin was replaced with a warden. Its a very versitile deck, and does well against most, except for the mechanicus.

[@petararmbruster5039]

"EVEN IN DEATH I STILL SCORE"

[@lukaslehmann7011]

Clearly you must send both!

[@cdp124]

BOTH OUTCOMES PLEASE!!!!!

[@criseist9786]

Haven't ever been able to play or make anything since I'm the only person I know that likes 40k, but have wanted to make a custom knight for forever. Was cool to get to see how they work here

[@hallswift]

Great and interesting game. I vote y'all send both.

[@cowsquid8859]

This was an emotional ride lmao

[@francescogulisano2917]

"System corrupted" is a pretty accurate way to describe everything Imperium

[@MrHerky61]

Both you guys should just combine the channels into a big family.

[@treykenley3499]

The bet was "Whoever loses" so since they both technically "lost" both have to uphold the agreement. That's my logic at least.

[@loganschroeder4126]

Love the 40k in 40 minutes, but my vote is both!!!!

[@teagan5494]

27:22 mechanicus “I WILL DECONSTRUCT YOU TO DEATH!!!”

[@roberttanguay8532]

What a great game!!! I hope Nick enjoys San Francisco 😂

[@B__C__]

This Tak is from the same alternate dimension as Chaos Marine Steve. Look, he even has a goatee!

[@ladouceurmatt]

This is how my game with my friend went yesterday. I was not rolling hot enough and he was rolling too hot. It was one of those days the dice be bad.

[@toportime]

Depends on what sort of mission you are running, in "Only War" you can win by killing the opposing army rather than by points, points only come into play if both armies are still standing.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I am summarizing here but in Leviathan Chapter Approved Missions it is: End of Battle If a player no longer has any models remaining the other player may continue to play. Determine Winner Based on points.

[@Wildwolface77]

WTF is happening in this game?! I was laughing SO hard at this..... xD Good grief..... Thanks for showing me this bizarre match-up. It was hilariously well-made - and it made my day, guys. :)

[@thatonebisexualnerd1370]

Loved it! I think both players should go. That would be fun

[@andrewhoffman63]

The orange dice are weighted towards 4+ and the black dice are waited to 3- and I will not be convinced otherwise!! 😂😂

[@andrewhoffman63]

26:13 second handful of dice roll in a row with a 3:2 ratio for 4+:3-, and a 9:1 ratio for 5s+6s:1s+2s. Follows by ANOTHER 3:2 ratio for 4+:3-

[@TheGamingLegendsOfficial]

"The only winning move, is not to play" - Castellan

[@unaiestanconapelaez2526]

"You can't not kill your way to victory" Castellan knight: you sure about that one?😂

[@royaviv179]

both players should get their bet

[@uncabob214]

Incredible games.

[@thefloridaman41]

Now that I’ve seen it this was a lot of fun. Idk if you guys have a Sisters player but I wonder if the knight into that list would have a similar effect for an army struggling in this heavy armor meta

[@PlayOnTabletop]

We have a local sister's player that is welcome on the channel anytime but we don't have our own sisters army here at the studio.

[@sparrowsbewertungen6930]

"Im still standing" the Lancer

[@nightlordnorris4446]

One of the things I'm interested in for this edition, is the allied units. I'm not sure if Mechanicus gets Knights as a unit, or if its still an "allied unit," but its nice to see Knights with the Admech.

[@vicio19995]

The Index of Knight tell who can allie with,

[@toddvogel8887]

Tak playing Admech, no surprises here folks, you already know how its going to end.

[@truthjustice6454]

Interesting soundtrack

[@FnRenner]

Are you insane Tak? You let Bridger bring Knights? The only thing you could have done that would've had worse results would have been to let him bring his golden boys.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

All according to the master plan...

[@christophwinkler9133]

Crazy laughter :D :D

[@gunslingerspartan]

oh wow the new knight is op, shocker

[@jonbauml225]

It's been said that it's better to be lucky than good. Tak is lucky and good

[@jackthorne7998]

send both of them!

[@advent7166]

Brutal game.

[@Whiffle09]

Rock paper scissors for it 44:06

[@darthstemcell]

Thoroughly enjoyed this, have no clue what happened in game 1 and how the re set worked?

[@zombine64]

The Castellan yelled "You Didn't win" as it blew up.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

I can hear it!

[@DnBGolf]

The "He's mysterious! Nobody knows how the Castellan works." After it allahu akbar'd itself was hilarious

[@americanman3745]

Bring out the Warhound!

[@alexbiggs1046]

Ahh so it’s a single castellen knight vs the world with some Ad mech backup dancers, got it.

[@AmanoGau]

Haha, I love rules, but I still think when you are tabled, it's over.

[@PlayOnTabletop]

There is a Core Rule Book Mission that nets you a win if you table your opponent. I think it works well as an option but not as a general rule because if two players decide they are okay with it and can have fun with it, great. I think what points based victories does for the game generally is mitigate certain hyper aggressive lists or play styles that may not be fun for an opponent.

[@bknxxjuggernaut762]

1-1 we need a tie breaker!!!😂😂

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Maybe the next time Bridger visits the country
