This format is much better for us youtube folks, thanks for taking time for editing. PS: Brian, you kept falling back with zoanthropes, but you don't need to, they are affected by big guns never tire while they're lead by the Neurotyrant because it gives them the monsster keyword. You could've blasted that devilfish to pieces in one turn instead of move in circles :D

[@TabletopTitans]

Whaa that's so cool. Appreciate the tip!

[@jacobtennison7154]

The shorter games are much more accessible for me. Great battle report with my two main factions 🙌🏼

[@TabletopTitans]

Woo thats the hope!

[@donutmancy1714]

@@TabletopTitansthere needs to be more short form games. I usually can't dedicate 3ish hours to watching but I enjoy the games so much

[@ThingoftheDeep1]

I love this tightened up edit! A steam is great but unless I have a full three hours set aside it drives me nuts because I want CLOSURE on how the game went!

[@TabletopTitans]

Exactly, we know its tough to have time for long streams so we're enjoying working on these

[@brianbenn830]

Genestealers(and their unit eg. broodlord) reroll hits of 1, and reroll wounds of 1 on objectives. Broodlords have synapse(sometimes it was forgotten), Zoans have BGNT from the neurotyrant, not to mention the neurotyrant has BGNT, so you could have been shooting it all game. There was other missed things, but hard to keep track after so many mistakes.

[@TabletopTitans]

Appreciate the heads up!

[@shrewtracks8108]

​@@TabletopTitansits like they don't even play

[@Synthos6742]

Bless the KZbin algorithm machine spirits, this is what I’ve been looking for. Loved the pace, banter and battle-report in general, I would note that neurolictors do not have “fight first” just the regular ones tho I haven’t had a game where I’ve remembered everything yet

[@xavierfigueroa5181]

Dude the paint jobs are so slick!!

[@Magicbiscuit82]

Love the channel Guys! Just got into Warhammer 40K with the Leviathan release, decided on Votann! Learned so much from you guys and others. Just wanted to hop on here and say thanks!

[@sebastianbogado1789]

Love this format! Hopefully it becomes a recurrent thing!

[@randykeeling1916]

Thanks for the battle report. I like you guys and the effort you put in but the live shows drive me nuts. Too much side chatter and not enough game. This is a very good alternative.

[@TabletopTitans]

Glad you liked it! I totally get that the live streams aren't for everyone - hence another format :D

[@Reefa328]

@@TabletopTitansI Second this for sure. The camera angles do it for me, the Models eye view or POV is crucial, most by batreps are watched on a phone and it’s almost impossible to make out detail from a fixed camera or top down view. I’ll almost always skip live views for this reason. Striking Scorpion does amazing camera work immersive and cinematic for reference! Keep up the good work

[@williamvanjaarsveld3384]

For the record, broodlord is now synapse so should roll bs on 3d6. The neurolictor is also synapse, and is the only lictor variant that actually doesn't have fights first.

[@TabletopTitans]

Appreciate it!

[@DrewPickles90]

Thank you so much! Zero interest in super chats or pet pictures, this is so great!

[@crono252]

The pre recorded games are great experiences while y'all are at cons its definitely more fun to be in chat but this is definitely a good watch (the model close ups looked great!)

[@TabletopTitans]

Can't leave you without warhammer!

[@terryglidden5007]

I do like the prerecorded bat reps, they are shorter and easier to carve out the time for.

[@craigbrown3778]

Love this version

[@TabletopTitans]

Thank you!

[@danicovanzyl4666]

I enjoyed the battle report in the new format been following your channel from the very beginning. The Vanguard list played is completively strong, I have played into it often. Brian maybe get some reps with the list and try jailing with Genestealers and the gargoyles using your LO for control points and secondaries. Thanks again for the game.

[@unifoon]

I'm really happy to see that you've started offering some pre-recorded games now! I LOVE the banter and the engagement you have with the chat community, but I'm also married with kids, a dog, a gaming addiction and a need to paint and battle with my own minis and there's only so many hours a poor human can devote to their streaming channels Having these more accessible games lets me stay in touch with the TTT team and learn the game without feeling like I need to inject the channel stream direclty into my head via neuro-link.. :D

[@TabletopTitans]

So glad you like them! These are all the reasons we want to keep them coming!

[@unifoon]

@@TabletopTitans Much appreciated, and keep up the great work folks you rock! Go T'au!

[@tyrisunbreakable7686]

Love the battle report content! You guys playing more makes my week more enjoyable

[@TabletopTitans]

Glad to hear it!

[@GG-Gamer1]

24:20 Once the character dies, the Breachers are treated as their base unit of 10 again, I'm pretty sure. Which means that the 5 man remaining is not 'below half strength' and therefore wouldn't need a battleshock test.

[@ThePsychoAnon]

I much prefer this format. The editing and camera work is great. Can you guys do a custodes battle soon? I’ll give ya a mars bar.❤

[@glb190]

Neurolictor and Broodlord gained Synapse as well. Broodlord also has Dev Wounds and Twin-linked 😢

[@johndoes977]

Love this format without the chat. Great BR guys!

[@TabletopTitans]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@benballard6132]

Big fan of everything y'all do but especially the short form stuff thanks!

Appreciating this short form battle report

[@KraftyNP]

Lovin' the short form battle reports! Keep them comin' ♉

[@joshkosecki1024]

Oh man nice I always wanted you guys to do a format like this!

[@TheDirtysouthfan]

You still get strats in Mont'ka in turns 4 and 5, the only one you can't use is Focused Fire. Gun Drones are also BS 5+, they do not gain the BS of the user, so they should only be hitting on 4+'s when Guided. Also you can be Guided if you're Battle Shocked, you just can't Guide. Pathfinders hiding in a Devilfish when Shadow of the Warp goes off is a popular tactic.

[@mikebanks4195]

Where did you get all the TAU proxy models.... They re wicked

[@TabletopTitans]

Thanks! They're from Piper Makes Stuff, you can get them on Godforge as well

[@MyraTalisen]

Nice edit! And the music's good!

[@TabletopTitans]

Thanks Myra!

[@KamuiSenketsuMatoi]

12:00 How does the Cadre Fireblade have double Gun Drone with the 10 man Breacher team when a Devilfish can only house 12 people? As far as I know drones count towards transport capacity

[@KamuiSenketsuMatoi]

Oh I see it, page 77 of the Tau Codex: If you have upgraded a model to have a drone, place a Drone token next to your model as a reminder. These do not count as models for any rules purposes.

[@Avangerification]

Drones are tokens now, not models anymore. They are basically wargear you equip to the model. So they don't count for transports.

[@TabletopTitans]

No worries, good question!

[@Greenman347]

love the editing in this

[@Malkyr]

Adrian that is an amazing shirt. Definitely gonna look for that myself now!

[@TabletopTitans]

Thanks so much! RSVLTS!

[@EndTimeHeresy]

For me, the true fun in watching you battlereports is the complete experience - also with the fun you have during the games. Shorter Versions reduce that fun. But I know that many also enjoy the shorter battlereps...life can be hard as content creator ;)

[@TabletopTitans]

Hehe totally get it, and appreciate your understanding. Always trying to find a balance of what people want

[@555tork]

pretty sure the ap reduction from the Enforcer Commander is only against ranged attacks not melee.

[@Avinan7]

Is Adrian rolling gun drones as though they have Rapid Fire or am I crazy?

[@eternalcalm1038]

Cadre doubles the shots of all guns, including the gun drones. Though it did still look like a high amount of dice

[@Avinan7]

@@eternalcalm1038 Yeah I know what Cadre does, it looked like a ton of dice for gun drones even from the suits lol

[@Avangerification]

@@Avinan7 Ya they should only be 2 shots per drone. His devilfish was rolling 8 instead of 4.

[@tzeentchian]

They should have one extra shot each from the fireblade so three shots each. He did get the bs and strength of the drone shots wrong

[@jackkreeger6617]

Y'all are the best. Hope you're having fun at twitch con

[@TabletopTitans]

D'aww thanks Jack!

[@zmartminiatures]

Where can I get those devilfish that look like that

[@ruex1234]

I appricate the smaller form factor. I love watching, but I don't have 3+ hours to watch, and even breaking up watch sessions I am behind on content all the time.

[@davidtrickett1848]

Can you describe the method you painted each army please?

[@OneWingedAngel1995]

Hammerhead Gunship is missing from the list at the beginning of the video.

[@BeRaNTV]

I think he forgots reroll 1 on genestealers that are in range of a marker

[@clemo85]

Ok, I need to know where those stealth suits are from 😱

[@CamK247]

Piper makes stuff 3D printed. Its some of the older releases so I believe only file download available but its the "Silver Fish Mech" on printedwargames

[@unifoon]

Quick T'au rules quibble - gun drones equipped to models are BS5. Fairly sure Adrian was rolling for them using the BS of the model, but sadly they have their own abysmal BS.

[@masonbrilliantba]

For the T'au Empire!!!

[@TabletopTitans]

For the T'au'va!

[@masonbrilliantba]

@@TabletopTitans AGREED MY FRIEND!!!!

[@KahaniKhalifa]

The music is still a big problem on these videos. Incredibly loud compared to everything else, and just randomly cuts in and out in short clips, often in totally inappropriate places. The video editing is OK, but the sound needs a lot of work on timing and fades.

[@TabletopTitans]

Duly noted! We'll dial it in

[@lukewatkins8617]

You could call it 40k in 90 minutes.

[@carstenbalzer5197]

prefer the classic format, this was ok to watch but didn't connect the way the other shows connect

[@TabletopTitans]

Appreciate the feedback!
