Love tau
Hey guys, Can you link where you got the crashed cruiser? I thought I found the people that make it and may have given them money already and would feel so much better about it if was the same people you got yours from. Also love you guys. I really appreciate the amount and level of content you put out. It is difficult to find someone to play one game a month here so I again really appreciate the two of you playing back to back games for us.
As my friend Justin Wilson will declare: More Black Legion games!
The first Twilight movie came out in 2008, Bone. You were in your mid-twenties – hardly a young teen. (Edit: didn’t see the Grotty comment :/)
Thanks for the good work, and please make Myconoid, ie. a plant, character for the next Cast of Players iteration.
Great game gentlemen, and great to see Farsight get another good run out, really intersting to see them in action! Buttttt… that felt like it was won/lost in the listbuilding!
Great batrep guys, keep up the grand work! <3
O its a short battle report bone must have stayed on topic during the lists
Speaking of good horror films, have you seen Underwater?!? Spider – I think you especially would enjoy it! Awesome Lovecraftian-horror movie ?
While Bone did try to make it balanced, it was not. T’au commanders are still insane and CSM are just a rubbish parody of their Imperial counterpart.
Just imagine Event Horizon is indeed set in 40k setting…What if they took a trip to the warp without Gellar fields… Considering time is non-linear in the warp they got pretty lucky to not encounter some CSM who would have taken an extreme interest in pre-emperor Terra…
Stop it Bone! You’re making me want Crisis suits… Many many Crisis suits ?
Great game guys ?
Nice game lads. Thanks.
Congratulations Bone you had a really good game there. I am glad you are playing the mobile Tau. Your marker light support seemed really good.Those marker drones were really able to stick around for a long time until they decided to get in front of the commanders. Love the Tau lists you are making! The only interesting note was that Lawrence was, very cleverly, able to move slightly out of the path of the bombers. I wonder if there was a way to set up the danger bombing zones in such a way as to punish Lawrence for moving out… Read more »
libera te tutemet! Also heard before Barbatos makes an entrance.
I honestly dont really get smoldering either, more like sultry.
B-Bone, you did a great job remembering all the things! <3 And such smolder!
Really enjoy these reports and it’s so nice seeing T’au back on the table. A question for Mr Bone(if he can answer) – with the changes to CP and detachments, can I take an all battlesuit/vehicle (well, and drones) army now without completely shafting myself? I’ve wanted to run a list around a Stormsurge for ages and need an excuse to buy the model (and the aftermarket 3d printed arms).
Great game! Thank you very much! 🙂
I just wanted to say that I log on here almost every day in hopes to find another battlereport. I’m so greatful for your hard work. Especially during these times.
Thank you! ♥
Bone: Interview With A Vampire?
Ooh you guys are just killing me with those little chats…..There’s literally (is that spelled corrrectly? Looks so wrong…) no better way for me to start the day then sitting in front of my computer, having a little breakfast, big mug of coffee and watch your bat reps….Perfection, I say!! Very very cool bat rep aswell, but really I didn’t expect anything else 😉
Edit: I really do miss the rest of the team, though! Hopefully that crap is over the very next day!! 🙁
Great bat rep! Can’t wait for some War of Spider Deathguard games! ?
B-Bone Soldering… I was instantly transported Jumanji and Dwayne Johnson’s smolder. Very comparable!
You guys have me rolling!
Reaallly nice Batrep so far! I love the work those planes do!
I am at the sequence where barbatos charges the crisis bomb, question:
don’t you have the reroll 1 to wound/to hit due to being farsight?
They said it was war and destruction, but I was tricked, it was all bout the Greater Good. Which was fine.
Great to see a Tau win! Keep up the good work guys, as always very much appreciating the work you’re putting in. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for well deserved break for you both soon.
Any plans for playing The Eight? I would really love to see them in batrep.
awesome game as always guys, really fun and for once I think bones luck turned supporting his tactics well for once! well done Bone. Commiserations Lawrence, was a fun game. Also for 9th edition I am going to be starting a pure Coven based Drukhari army would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions Lawrence 🙂 if you have time.
Props for “Death to the False Empire”. Nice.
Where do you get the space ship scenery guys? Seen it on another channel as well (think it was MWG).
Great game once again guys, would have gone mad by now during lockdown with out you two gooses…
Stay cool guys!
EDIT: Also, great to see Spider finally get “Boned”!
Me and my brother got caught out in the twilight trap, we wondered why there were so many teenage girls in the cinema. Genuinely thought it would be like Blade
Just wanted to point out that when Bone resolves his overwatch with his commanders he forgot about the farsight sept’s new ability. The chargers are within 12″ so he effectively had one markerlight on them.
definitly get where bone is coming from with this style of tau army rather then the riptides.This version of tau is way better yeah get the second crisis suit bomb be even better then
just wondered if you guys could do a death guard vs tau? they recently clashed in the lore, might be cool.
Great bat rep dudes!
Tinfoil hat on* Are you guys playing with the 9th edition battlefield size already? Eyeballing it with some of the overhead shots based off of the width of one of the admec terrain pieces, it looks as if the board is only 5 feet wide. Also the crashed ship looks bigger than normal when on the board.
Bone, when your crisis suits were overwatching, in Lawrence’s turn 2, they still had the experimental weapon that means sixes become 2 hits. I’m pretty sure that still applies in overwatch which means those terminators would have had twice as many hits on them. Also, farsight enclaves re-roll ones to wound against enemies within 6. You forgot that a bunch of times against the disco lord and other units that were within 6 of your crisis suits.
If you want to see Bone look brooding, just roll a handful of FNPs where if you pass 3 of them, your alpha unit will survive with 1 wound.
I went and watched the first one myself as well on a date. Not a good film for many reasons. Also it came out in 2008 just as a heads up. Also Lost Boys was amazing. Was the first movie I got to watch alone in the theater, though my father had to buy the ticket for me as I wasn’t old enough. Event Horizon was fantastic. It is first contact with the warp by humanity..love it. Chronicle was one that I also really enjoyed, and while not super successful, is a really solid film. It was the big breakout… Read more »
My buddies and I just introduced our friend to Event Horizon the other night, always a classic. The screenwriter, Philip Eisner, has actually acknowledged that the 40K universe was a big inspiration for the plot of Event Horizon!
Great game by the way, I always enjoy seeing Bone get to use his Tau especially in non-castle lists. Thanks for churning out the entertainment!
Where do T’au get their weaponry?
They go down Tau-n
You guys should really do a podcast about films and educate Beard on the greatness of movies!
Any idea when the WotS Death Guard game will drop? The new stuff is pretty spicy!
Great game! Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your hard work and perseverance during these emotionally turbulent times. As a person who has lost a couple loved ones over these past months due to this damm virus, seeing genuine friendship between everyone helps bring some enjoyment back into life. Really quite therapeutic. Your consistency for achieving higher quality content is quite staggering tbh and the long hours of investment shines through your beautifully produced product. Having you cool peanuts in the community, is in my opinion, a part of what makes 40k so special. Apologies… Read more »
Come for the 40K, stay for the discussion of great films. Event Horizon is a classic, agree that it could easily be describing the warp. Chronicle is great too, Dane Dehaan also went on to be in a few other hollywood films, he was Harry Osborne in the Amazing Spiderman films and he was in the recent adaptation of Valerian (which wasn’t great, but he was pretty good in)
Ah, the smiles are back on the lads faces!!
So… if twilight was a romance film with vampires, but not a Vampire film. Was Die Hard an action film set at Christmas and not a Christmas film? Bone? Care to weigh in?
Awesome! Saturday morning viewing sorted! Any chance of a war of the spider batrep at some point? Custodes vs Death Guard? Keep up the good work my dudes.
