With Coldblade and his remnant forces retreating from the onslaught of the Deathwatch attack, Gorm Oddmundson calls for the killing blow to be delivered – nothing less than the total destruction of the T’au forces will suffice…

ATTENTION: While Games Workshop have kindly sent out the review copies of Codex Dark Angels, there are postal delays in the UK due to COVID. As a result, there will not be a review or report featuring the Dark Angels today. We’ll look at doing something for you next week if it arrives 😉🕷
What an Epic ending! I could not stop watching. Its 1:19Am over here. I had to see the ending!
Brilliant crusade guys! I’ve only just found you guys on YouTube from a friend so sorry if this has been answered before (as I’ve got quite a few videos left to watch) but I can’t wait for the next crusade campaign that you do if you are that is.
Keep up the good work guys!
This campaign was fantastic to watch. It’s really put me in the mood to play crusade. Great work!
This was great! Really enjoying this series. Your regular content is great, but your narrative content is by far your best work imho. I really appreciate the extra effort that goes into making these, and I am very much looking forward to the next part.
Oh man, that was an Epic finish to that fight. Who else is gonna show up? I vote the Spider comes in to take slaves and capture Gorm for the arena.
B-Bone – Pathfinders are a Fast Attack choice so Beard should not have been getting all of the re-roll 1s for his mission tactics!
Maybe the Tyranid God’s can arrive, forcing the Tau and the Deathwatch to put aside their differences and work together to face the greater threat? Could be a cool story arc? 😁
Just think about all the 1’s beard had to roll for all those battle scars lol.
Awesome! Out of all your great content, I enjoy this crusade series the most. More please! 😄
Man, if I had to only watch one of your formats for the rest of time, it’d be these Crusade Reports. Amazing stuff, gents. Keep ’em coming!
Awesome game!!!! And excellent to see the team coming out to see the epic ending in person. As always, amazing work all.
That was close. Good job Beard.
That was possibly the best episode I’ve ever seen from you guys! Gorm! Gorm! Gorm!
Welly welly Wellington. Beard making a clutch roll. Was Spider secretly rolling for you with some sort of polymorphine witchery? Awesome viewing guys and a extra treat seeing you all for that final faceoff, even unchaining Rob. Top work gentlemen.
I don’t seem to be able to download this episode but I can all others??
Absolutely amazing battle and arc! Loved seeing everyone in the same room together too, gave me all the warm fuzzies. Can’t wait for more Crusade stuff!
Loved it. What an ending !
Loved the entire crusade so far, hands down my favorite I’ve watched on any channel!
Very epic. Thanks for the battle report
Love these crusade reports, this one was an absolute barn burner!
Been loving these Crusade reports. Want MOAR!
Look I know the setup is going for Hive Fleet Myrmidon right now, but wouldn’t it be amazingly fun to have Nigel and the old Orks in a crusade? That being said, WHAT A GAME!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Amazing game, crusade is my fav way to play 40k
Truly a very cinematic battle, with the Tau staging a desperate and hard fought defense against the unrelenting Deathwatch forces. It was anyone’s game till the very last dice rolls. Great job team!
Epic ending! Great to see the gang altogether!
Crusades may be one of the best things to come out in 9th, and this one has been amazing to follow. Always love the Beard/Bone dynamic.
So funny!
That ending was EPIC!!! 😳
That was truly epic crusade worthy. So does this conclude the Draconia Saga or just a crazy middle chapter?
The crusade was awesome, some of your best content, and what an epic finish!
omg .. was edge of my seat for the final fight ! .. so epic! ..
looking forward to the next report in this Thriller!.
if you guys ever stop making these Crusades, life will be a lie!!.
Just epic. I almost always want Bone to win but not against the mighty Deathwatch! Well done guys.
There are games of 40K and then there is this, absolutely stunning! Perfect ending of this part of saga! GOOORM!!!!
So awesome to see you all in the same room! I never imagined that something so NORMAL would give me such a feeling. Testament of these strange times, I guess… I am now looking forward to meet my bandmates even more. I wonder if I still remember how to play guitar.
Thank you for the game!
What an EPIC battle!! Right down to the wire. Everything shall be settled with glorious combat. SUFFER NOT THE ALIEN TO LIVE!!
That was one of the best reports I think I’ve ever watched, this crusade has been epic so far and the ending of that episode was absolutely perfect
When they started previewing Crusade, one of my first thoughts was how awesome it would be with you guys and boy was I right! What a game, so much fun.
Please keep it going! They’ve all been great, but I also like the element of Beard using his own personal force, as I think it brings even more investment in the narrative. And I loved the quick run down of what upgrades had been taken before you began – more of this please!
Cracking report.
Was so great having the whole team in the studio for the last moments! It’s so rare to see you all together. Also is it me or should Beard be the lost member of Flight of the Conchords.
These Crusade games have been really enjoyable, and this one had an epic ending!
This is definitely a favourite for me out of all the series you guys have done. Great fight at the end!
Bone you need to bring back At’sumo’s brother Sa’tsuma!
The final combat was EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best
Arrrrghhh!!! That was absolutely EPIC!!!! That just played out so well!
Awesome awesome awesome!!!!!
Bbone! Awesome presenting at the end of the game! Really love when you guys improvise in the moment and nail a narrative speech
Turn 4 when grendal charged and Bone over watched with the ghost keel he did not roll the damage roll and went to straight wounds.
Quick question: where do you guys source your crater terrain? My playgroup needs some, and I don’t see GW offering anything decent.
Loving these Crusade reports and this one had such an epic finale! Thoroughly enjoyed it! But I have to add, there seems like a bit of a lack of full 2k point Tau reports? Maybe that’s just my perception of it or are they just struggling too much in ninth edition to even field them out side of Crusade?
Great finish, and love that the game went right down to the wire. Well played guys, that seemed like a lot of fun was had!
