Plague Surgeon MvP…
Out of interest, is there any advantage to taking 7 man units of plague marines? Great report as always
Awesome game thanks! Can’t wait to see your Dark Angel army grow. Do you know yet who will be the main Dark Angel player?
That intro music makes me party all the time!
Any chance I see some new tabletop tactics dice lights on the table behind beard?
In the shop when? 😀
Amazing Battle Report as always!!!! We all need more Dark Angels! Hope to see some Deathwing too at some point 👍🏻 I don’t know if someone already brought this up but, shouldn’t Sammael be wounded only on a 4+ being “Inner Circle”? Or did I get the rule wrong 🤔?
Here’s an idea: what if you gave the table an edge? It would keep half of the dice rolling from the table 😂
Thanks for the game guys it was great fun to watch. The mowers of Papa’s garden did some good work, the most enjoyable being vs the dark talon. Well played beard i really feel you made some good decisions here like to start cagey in your first turn and on turn 2 to fire all the melta at the one marine. Yes it was a bit of overkill but it was worth it for the points. @Bone i think you are right about the failed charge of the terminators being big. It would have been better to save the reroll… Read more »
The -1 CP counter had me in tears.
Great game guys! Looking forward to more dark angels and seeing their potential come out from the new book.
Absolutely epic
@tabletop Tactics what board size do you play on? It looks more square than your standard 6 X 4 board. Thanks.
I love the negative Command Point tracker lol.. Is there a prize for whoever gets the highest or lowest negative number before the end of March???
Hurray! Magnus is back! Still wondering where he was. Maybe he has been to the woods of Nottingham and spoke to an unsuspicious birdperson, who´s offering him help to fix his legion. Can’t see anything wrong about that. Nice battle report by the way.
Makes me wanna dig up my old ravenwing and do little DA force, but I have so many sisters to paint still! 😀
Hi guys great game but I think Sammael, talonmaster and the black knights have the inner circle key word so thought they can’t be wounded on less than a 4+
If I climb on the train to Bat Rep Village, but you guys don’t get on the train, that means I miss the Battle Report and the village is empty. Also, does that mean you filmed this in a train station, after they negated your tickets? This train is a sad train.
That intro music was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such a vicious intro music…and then these two show up. j/k, much love to both of you.
Nice one Beard! Well played.
I especially loved the bit with ‘the little Fleshmower that could’ pootling into the Dark Talon and mashing it to bits
marvellous
Thanks man 🙂
This battle shows off the death guards greatest problem: board control
Chef, what happened that these two got to -1 command points for over half the game? Do they use a cp tracker or die set off to the side to count cp?
Great game guys. Loyalty is it’s own reward. Gotta say B-Bone in a previous life did you do cruel things to dice somehow?
One little thing Beard. Sammael is a biker, therefore his twin stormbolter will get 8 shots always due to bolter discipline. Great to see the First back on the channel.
Did you remember the -1T for contagion Bone?
This must be what the Bloat Drone looked like when it charged the Dark Talon.

Also why aren’t you all rolling those big dice in the background? Imagine lawrence just saying “SIX” as he rolls that big thing and it crashes into the terrain and just cause mayhem
Great to see some proper dark angels. Fun report
One comment. The models kinda got lost in the terrain. Grey buildings with grey models / bases. Might be helpful to pick a board setup that helps to models stick out more.
Omg the intro hilarious…..I love all the snippets u guys edit in….keep em coming they’re hilariously funny
Sanga you absolute boss. The green wing look absolutely fantastic. Someone give him a bit of peanut butter please with his next ration.
Great report guys, keep up the great work!
Two things of note regarding Sammael; Unless it has changed in the new book, he is base toughness 6 not 5, would have made a difference in his combat with the terminators. Also correct me if I’m wrong but he has a twin storm bolter and the biker keyword meaning he would have rapid fire 4 (so 8 shots).
😀
Chaos vs Chaos then. Nice
I love the -1 CP going back to 0 and again to – 1 touch 😀
One day Beard and Bone will be able to count how much CP they have! Slightly more seriously, I think because you guys keep rolling without someone taking notes or immediately making the change then you invariably start to forget due to the complexities of filming + playing about a bajillion different armies. I think perhaps you should start cuts to make sure you properly do this might be a good idea, if only as an experiment to see whether this prevents issues of spending CP you don’t have or whatever. Of course, your battle reports are highly entertaining, but… Read more »
This new book is staggeringly good.
I’m sure Lawrence is just as hopeful as I am that the Drukhari will receive the same treatment. Then Xenos can get the leg up it needs to rise to this new challenge!
Great game folks. I think that Ravenwing lists are by their nature quite scary right out of the box, so you really have to put a strong list against them, or well… this happens.
I just hope we’re not starting to see the DG fall behind with every new codex. Must admit I’ve been a little concerned about the overbalancing in the new book (especially the inclusion of nerfed 8th ed relics/WL traits) as well as the over-reliance on Morty (who I have no plans to run).
Wooooo Beard welcome to the silent brotherhood!! Stoaked to see you guys using my all time favorite army on your channel!!
About to start the game proper. But of note beard Paragon of the chapter means you give your warlord an extra warlord trait. However lets just say you used Hero of the chapter from the Main Space marine codex. Also I would give the Talon master Brilliant strategist as it is better for ravenwing heavy Dark Angels
Uh oh, bone’s wearing a hat again… What’s he done this time?! 😂
Good to see the green wing getting a run out all be it in a patrol
Hell yessssss, intro music is awesome 💪💪💪
Oh yes!!!! new model in picture as well!
Just wanna say, this intro music is a jam!!
OFFT that intro music 👌
I have to say you 2 are my favourite hosts it’s always sooooo much fun watching yous play!
I love the smell of dead green heretics in the morning…
Great to finally see the Dark Angels back in action.
Little combo to try next time on the Talonmaster.
Swap out Calibanite Knight with Brilliant strategist.
Now he can put himself into devastator doctrine turns 2-3. Means he can continue to advance and shoot and with the arbiter’s gaze relic still hit on 2+ 😁
Ooooh! Great!! Two of my favourite armies! Couldnt be better 👍🏼
I was hoping for this match up! 💖😁
