Tyranids vs Leagues of Votann | Warhammer 40k Battle Report

Deep under the earth the leagues of Votann have dug greedily into the crust of this planet. The cacophony of heavy duty equipment siphoning the planets mineral riches has awoken the terrifying presence of the Tyranids. For thousands of years this hive fleet splinter had slumbered, but now its ravenous hunger has been unleashed.The tunnels of this dig site now writhe with the skittering masses of the great devourer. The Leagues of Votann make a valiant last stand, priming explosives to seal these horrors away.Will the Leagues make a daring escape, or will they become bio mass for the hives consumption.

Von Ryan's Leapers were a gaunt sub-species mentioned in the 3rd edition codex. They weren't in the game at that point but were in the lore as a vicious predator that maybe got separated from their Hive Fleet and evolved by themselves. The name is probably a reference to Von Ryan's Expess, an old war movie.

Hands down the best, most fun 40k channel anywhere! I feel this is one of the greatest yet, not at all because I'm biased towards Votann or Nids, never, but because this crew made an incredible narrative, had a blast from start to end and those amazing edits never miss! XD Thanks for this one, made a rough week way better, and hope you each feel appreciated for the effort on these! :)

[@tabletoptactics]

Comments like this, make it all worth it. Thank you :)

[@adamduncton6054]

This is how you play 40K! epic narrative plot, play with whatever models you want and have a bucket load of fun! On demand channel is brilliant too! Quite simply the best tabletop channel thank you all for your continued hard work and entertainment!

Oh the fact the Leauges are getting some love and a interesting narrative game means new sub! 👍🏻

Yay for leagues! They've had a bit of a points increase which means we can actually run them again now - Jinx

[@Jason-gq8fo]

Finally a votann batrep on freeview after 10 months! Bit worried how short the video is but let’s go! The army is so beautiful

[@MegaApostel]

Don’t worry nothing on demand either as the new point cost made Votan so cheap they couldn’t make a 2k army list anymore ^^

[@tabletoptactics]

We’ve just been helped a bit by the latest Dataslate and Thunderkyn are being painted up shortly, so plenty coming to OD :)

Amazing battle report as always guys 💙. Apologies if these were done off camera, but Old One Eye has a 5+ FNP & regens D3 wounds each command phase... If not, most definitely a moral victory for the Nids! 😆

Man, narrative games are the best.

Started watching 40K battlereports, and ended up watching someone play Deep Rock Galactic. No complaints. ROCK AND STONE!!

[@kingxerocole4616]

the most enjoyable game of 40k I've seen on this channel. Love the energy, the cinematic gameplay, and absolutely gorgeous production design! Also, the Votann army is stunning.

[@tabletoptactics]

Glad you enjoyed it! We put. a lot of effort and love into the content we put out 😊

know part of what makes Sagitaurs so great? When you give them the Sagitaur missile launcher, they ALSO get the bonus LR missile launcher :)

There are some gorgeous gradients on those vehicles

[@noctocell9558]

You should try the horde mode game mode made by poorhammer, it’s very similar to this with the “oncoming swarm” thing you guys did!

[@dmeep]

you must construct additional pylons!

[@ryan_the_rizza2571]

When it shifted to an ‘epic universe’ for the bonk, I thought it would play a squeaky toy sound. Funny either way, though.

[@gurtana]

Love the scenario idea, very cool .

[@Boxy_Music_]

Would love it if you popped some rules up on screen when you talk about them - not all, but things you chat about… like tank shock in this one, would be super useful for new player. This was fun, loved the narrative spin.

[@cptmorgan1170]

Damn. Love the paint jobs on the minis. I'm building a Tyranid army and was considering the same color scheme as yours.

[@armandopatino7379]

Berserks can not charge after the Sagitaur moved. ALthough they could have disembarked and have a longer charge either way. Awesome batrep btw

[@benjaminreed8865]

This absolutely needs to be the start of a narrative campaign including genestealer cults and you need to finish the last mission in the campaign with a heirophant on the table! Please Lawrence make this happen 🙏

[@tabletoptactics]

[@zachsmith8967]

I'd be interested to find out when they were devising this game. How did they land on how many points the tyranids could place down a turn?

[@tabletoptactics]

It was determined as "what was fun and bigger" 😅

[@shannonsimmons8405]

this is just deep rock galactic

[@chrishollinrake3171]

Quite possibly a big trick missed here as the Tervigon ought to have been regenerating Termagants I think?

[@tabletoptactics]

I think there was only one turn where a Termagant unit was partially wounded so I don't think it would have made too much of a difference, as the Tervigon can only regenerate models to one existing squad 🙂

Yes, but as this is narrative it's not really relevant to this game as it's a narrative 😅 I just took every LoV model we had in the studio, and James took the Tyranid models he thought looked cool, we didn't really count points
