I’m sure this is the first time I’ve ever paused a TTT video to make a comment. BEST intro ever!
New level of madness 🙂 I didn’t think you guys can take it any futher. You proved me wrong. And I’m so glad for it…
Keep up the great work. Both armies are amazing…
Good news everybody El Beardo rocks
Poor Chef!
Thanks for the game guys! Loved it, keep up the good work.
Thanks for keeping up the excellent content guys! We all appreciate you hitting the gaming tables for us!
Would very much like to see an Imperial Knights vs Eldar Knights rumble. (I know Eldar knights aren’t in the strongest position right now, it’d be cool to see how they might be buffed to help some of those shortcomings)
Beard, never change man. Never. I want a game with you. It’d be bloody madcap!
Confused, asked already, but is this an older vid or is the band back together? Loved the intro!
Chef looks so tired and over it lol. Hang in there Chef.
Epic Carnage, El Beardo I LOVE your Chaos Knights, they remind me of another absolute boss’ Chaos Knights. Stunning.
Thanks for the laughs and what you all do!
El Beardo Made my Day ! Happy Birthday Chef !
I didn’t laugh right up until
“can’t you stick them through the eye holls”-Bone
earnestly shaking his head “I already tried” – Beard
Jesus that is so dumb and funny.
p.s. Chef I am pretty sure after Bone laughed sinisterly about what he wants to do on your birthday he said he wanted to play Lawrence’s drukhari on his birthday and he wanted you to write the lists.
I think El Beardo should face off against another masked character. Possibly El Bono? I think the Spider should referee since it looks like Chef has had his fill of our masked friend 🙂
Keep this amazing job. Really fun and love thar new guard army. Defenetly need a showcase.
Epic beard!!
That was a great game! We need a Beard Vs El Beardo game to see who rolls the most 1s 😜
Also I don’t think I have ever seen Chef look so defeated due to shenanigans!
My favorite Batrep yet. 😂
So stoked to see this beautiful Guard army on the tabletop. Thanks for that gents!
Minor rules quibble: demolisher cannon is only heavy D3, not D6 (unless its being fired at a unit with 5 or more models)
Cheers!
Thanks! El Beardo… I have sprained my spleen laughing at this batrep!
BEARD! Where is your beard!?
One of the best openings. Ever. Brother!
BROTHER.
El Beardo’s knights look fantastic, the Red Queen in particular! I really thought that the puny humans were on the backfoot after that strong turn one from El Beardo, but alas, the knights fell to all that artillery. Great battle report and even better entertainment.
Thank you so much for El Beardo in this battle report! I never normally watch the list introductions because they go on a bit too long for me but this was just pure comedy gold!
Thanks again guys, hope you’re all staying safe!
Forget John 3:16, El Beardo 3:16 says Chef just whooped my candy ass !!! Gimmie a Hell Yeah !!
You ok Chef? Almost feels like this batrep will be presented in court as evidence one day : ) “well your honor, clearly the defendant was driven to the alleged double homocide”
As always thanks for the great content gents.
Im just gonna throw this one out there.
El Beardo….vs…..The Slyth!!
Also…what kind of bet did Lawrence lose to allow this? I love it!!
I… just… what happened? I laughed so hard! xD
Great game. Would love to see the wredtling match between El Beardo and Bone, sadly El Beardo ran away at the end. 😀
El Beardo is the greatest athlete to ever grace the international sports scene.
Great Battle Report!
Omg lmao!!!! I died laughing. Thanks guys Beardo ftw!!!
Awesome game guys. Chef we still love you.
I was going to say I’d love to see El Beardo face Lawrence but I’ve a strange feeling he’d disappear and La Araña would take his place!
This is the greatest thing ever to happen to a TT battle report, brother!
This was just fantastic. Thank you guys!
El Beardo…..why wouldnt you throw the leman russ at the manticore that was only on 2 wounds left? Chef just re rolled the explosion to keep it alive because he said it was 6″ away and didnt want the explosion to kill it hahaha.
I love all of you. Everything about this is amazing!
NOW YOU LISTEN UP JABRONY!! EL BEARDO IS GONNA TAKE THAT LEMAN RUSS! He’s gonna turn it sideways….. AND SHOVE IT UP YO’ CANDY ASS!! An dhe’s gonan do it in front of the millions AAAAAAAAND MILLIONS of El Beardo’s fans!
and that’s the bottom line! Because El Beardo SAID SO!
Now what do you think about that??
WHAT??
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK!
OOOOOOH YEAH!! All you guys that want to see more EL Beardo gimme a HELL YEAH!
El Beardo 3:16
Chef why do you hate fun?
Chef! Loved seeing this take on Guard list. Fantastic game!
Anybody else hoping for El Chefo next week?
LOVE THIS> classic
Hey El Beardo, where did u get the bits for those avenger gattling guns?
El Beardo isn’t the hero we need in these dark times. He’s the hero we deserve.
Oh dear lets hope El Beardo makes a shorter visit next time and gets back to his true calling of the ring.
That opening tune is, so, EPIC!
So we know Spider could beat most things in the 40k universe manno-a-manno, but could he take on El Beardo? I say no! El Beardo for president!
Earlier this week I said that the intro to the Grey Knight vs Eldar tactica report was the best ever. Little did I know that EL BEARDO was waiting!
That was amazing
Thank you
*kisses you all individually on the forehead*
Yup, loved it. Instant classic. Mark another vote for The Return of El Beardo!
Raptors are great. El Beardo is too much.
