You guys are the best… The tables, the personalities… even your guest is great! Love to see him back with another beautiful army. (thumbs up)
loved it
Another awesome battle report. Josh, by far, has been your best challenger. Fits right in to group. Bone you’re still a Boss. Nothing more. Nothing Less.
This game summarise by itself why Blood Angels need their chap master rule updated and why it is an auto-take…
What a beautiful Eldar army and good to see new units
Damn you Bone, it’s weekend every day for you boys! Playing 40k, thinkig about 40k, setting up tables, naratives and studios for 40k doesnt count as a job…. 😉
Really loving these challenges 🙂
I know it’s tricky with all the army swaps you guys make, but there is a bunch of fundamental tricks, that you very often don’t seem to use. Example: the Death Company should never have charged the rangers, but used them to wrap, in the first round. That way they are protected next round against shooting. Also; Lemartes gives the free rerolls on ALL hit rolls, on DC. So use canticle of hate instead of litany of hate, for a longer charge, increasing the chances for wrapping and getting to the right place. If the wraithblades charges the DC next… Read more »
Did Lawrence just make a Nigel? Could it be that the Spider is accepting our lord and savior Nigel Bigtooth? And maybe one day he’ll acknowledge Terry and Kevin too!
Loved that! Always nice to see an Eldar list chalking up a win over the space marines. Even better seeing a phoenix lord on the table, sadly the Banshee’s took their standard pasting. Could the death company been used more sparingly? The ‘throw them up first turn without support’ always seems like a waste!??!!.
Hope you guys across the pond have a great Holiday season! Hope you all take some time off to get some RnR and come back ready to tackle the new year! As a relatively new subscriber, I just want to say that I really enjoyed your content this year. You guys have a way of making the videos feel like you are sitting down with a group of friends and sharing a hobby that you love together. I think your audience really loves that about you guys. Hope you have a great Christmas and I think I speak for everyone… Read more »
What do you think about starting the Death Company off the board? The turn one charge is very Death Company but it seems like they aren’t garuanteed to make their points back (i think they did this game but pretty sure they didn’t the last game against Nids) but are pretty much garuanteed to be dead by the end of the turn… I presume you’d do it if you were pretty sure of going second? I painting some for my Blood Angels and considering a one-two punch list with 15 Death Company coming in to wreck face one turn then… Read more »
Right! Stop that. Stop that. This is getting Too Silly. XD
This was a great game to watch 😀
Why was it sixes to hit the hemlocks on turn two for bone? I thought he was inside of 12 inches.
“Cut the camera, I gotta swear”
Emprah above you guys, there were points I was practically turning blue trying not to laugh so that my SO could sleep! So dang fun to watch this one.
still waiting for the Gollum Voxcast!
Best bat rep in ages! I wish it had actually come out on the 13th, I could have used the laughs then O.o
Don’t worry Bone, I’m sure if we ever get to play each other you’ll wipe the floor with me ^_^ x
I kinda wish you had played another turn with this one. Conceding is of course, a choice for any player. But personally, I try to play games out. Not because I think victory is always in reach but because a game is a social contract of sorts and I owe to my opponent that if their plan has come together, they get to see it through.
Lemartes has the reroll all hit rolls for DC
Very good game, and a beautiful Aeldari army there. Well done on not only taking Jain Zar for a spin, but also getting some good use out of her. Mr Bone, you played well but your turn 2 shooting really let you down. I’m not saying this would of secured you the win, but if you deployed the smash captain in between both of those hemlocks you would then have the choice which to charge. It would of meant you could bait out the lightning fast reactions on one of the planes with a razorback and then shot the predators… Read more »
Hang in there Bone!! We all see that you are working with the models you have in the studio. Every time I see someone come into the studio they are running list you could use in a Tactical Battery Report. They are also running a list they know very well and you are running something that you play as a secondary army so we can see variety. I fell like the rest of the team need to start representing the change more when you have guest players come in. It would be nice to see them run their list with… Read more »
Bone! Why in the name of Terra did you stay in Devastator?! So many points after Turn 3 when those extra attacks/AP would have gotten you more kills! So many shots in Turn 2 where – 1 AP on bolters would have gotten kills!
Always great watching you guys, but that was a really weird tactical shout.
Love the Eldar paint job, though!
Be careful Bone, a couple of times you activated shock assault when attacking after a unit consolidated in to you.
Good, fun bat rep, great job.
I love Blood Angels, but it seems like every time you play them it’s just about this list, with maybe 200 or so points swapped out… and frankly this isnt that amazing of a list to begin with. Would love to see units like Sanginary Guard, more of the Terminators, etc to go for more a full combat list. Shooty Blood Angels just aren’t what Blood Angels fans want to see. If they wanted that they would just be like the people on Iron Hands/Imperial Fist bandwagon. Yeah, it wouldnt be a strong list, but these arent tactica games. You… Read more »
That was the most beautiful CWE army I have ever seen, partially due to a personal predilection for that sweet turquoise color scheme and partially due to how gorgeously it is painted. It has been one of the most fun games in a while, the banter, the raging Bone, the Spider’s amusing comments and plenty of laughs, you nailed it, gentlemen.
Please, get Josh for another report, his painting skills are just the stuff of legends!
When is one the TT team getting a grotty tattoo then?
EPIC paint job on thar Eldar army! It is a bloody masterpiece!
Very nice of you to play a very friendly list Bone 🙂 next time take more assault units! Shooty BA with preds / razorbacks is not exactly great, imagine if instead of the predators and razorbacks you had more deep striking assault units, like more Death Company, Vanguard Veterans, or even Lightning Claw Terminators!
Thank you for the batrep! the Aeldari were indeed very nicely done! I know that right now the huge talk is about how powerful some marines are, and for IH, Fists and Raven I am on board on that (not so much for the other chapters, for what I have experienced so far)… but I still think that Aeldari are absurd with all their psychic powers, -2 to hit planes and such things. Even in my local scene they are still consistently winning more than half of the tournaments. Maybe is just that here the strongest players use them, I… Read more »
Where do the English get the F in Lieutenant? GO B-BONE! Stunning looking armies <3
Some beautiful looking Eldar there
