This was a really good game. I liked both lists, much better without the repulsors. Yes the infantry are open to shoot but when there are so many in gravis plus the go-carts you’ll always have something left.
For chef i feel you had a good balance of some board control with 6 units of troops and the raiders. I think wrath of Mars was close to average. With 18 shots you should get ~2.7 per bot and i think you got 7 from 3 versus 8.2.
Really great game guys, although your nerves are shredded and your brain may have melted, 40k is at its best when the mission is hard for both armies and it goes to turn 5. Keep up the amazing work.
Fantastic game guys! Loved it!!
That was a really nice game, kept the crowd guessing until the end! You guys are awesome, keep up the nice work!
That was sweaty watching. Not necessarily the most entertaining from a spectacle POV (I live for the combat) but from a technical one – really engrossing. Lovely stuff guys.
Basically Bone should never use Eradicators, only he can make one of the best units in the game look awful 🤣
Wiffathon! What a great game. Shows why should always play on and don’t throw in the towel. Thought Bone’s list was a bit dull and one dimensional but that showed me!
That was a great game gents. It’s pure enjoyment when a TTT batrep is released.
Great game! Soo stressful to watch never mind playing the game. Rematch?
Watched this game when my kids went to bed and it made me chuffed. Looked like a tense time was had by all 🙂
One of the best/closest games of the year 😀
Great batrep! Can’t believe that Bone won….
Ooof. Huge wiffs on the Wrath of Mars rolls. Pains me to see that as an Ad Mech player.
Weird watching games where Bone rolls well, thought I was watching a Lawrence game for a second there when he was saving against those bots! Well done!
This game was so great!:O
Can’t wait for your league games!
Also, where are those stones (terrain) from?
Has bbone taught you fellas Nutbush yet? great game guys, really exciting stuff!
Great battle. Still no trough of plenty which makes me a sad banana. Loved seeing so much melta on the Salamanders side. Really intrerested to see what the Ad Mech codex brings us
One of the best games I have seen on here! Awesome stuff….so close….loved it!
Fantastic game, love a 5-turn nail biter. Great to see a variety of chapters on the channel – would be cool to see a Raven Guard list (well…successors) at some point, they’ve got some pretty fun shenanigans!
That was a great game! Thanks lads.
One quick (n00b) question: how does the Ironstrider qualify for ‘While we stand, we fight’ when Cawl and the 4 Kastelan Robots are all higher points/model, and the objective refers only to the three highest point value models?
Thought it was going to be a short one, but turned out to be a great match – a good lesson in not giving up, no matter how the first turn or two play out.
Great game guys, really enjoyed it
I don’t see how you can not suffer a -1 to hit with those Ironstriders when they fired at the Invaders at about 1:30 in when those Invaders suffered a -1 To hit when they fired at the Rangers a turn earlier. I mean, obviously both players decided that they could or couldn’t and all that, it just seemed they would. As to the game, it was pretty awesome, thanks gents. I thought after Ad Mech turn 1 it would be all one could do just to play catch up. Given how close it was, it seemed to be absolutely… Read more »
who does the voice over for the mission into? i think its chef? i need the mystery unmystified!
“let us know what you would change in the lists” Theory crafting is the best thing about strategy games, 😀 I don’t know much about the ad mech, so, focusing on marines. I think this game shows how forward deployment and reserve help get the most out of terrain. For example, 2+ incursor/infiltrator unit’s, deployed last, might add tactical flexibility. Further, I would consider devastators. 10 can be deployed as one squad, or split up, 2 heavy weapons in each, or as a tactical + heavy weapons squad. But I could be wrong, and it was a great game.
Fantastic battle report as per always gents. Ad Mech firepower in turn 1 is scary!!
Also, will the Spider be covering his thoughts on the new Drukhari codex?
You can see Bone’s soul leave his body on that Melta damage roll.
Enjoyed the game
Awesome resilience from the salamanders would of been even harder to shift with an apothecary in there
I’d love to see a Vulkan hestan in there to improve efficiency on one of the flamer/melta units
Who swears more off camera bone or beard? 😂
B-Bone’s “there could be kids watching” restraint made me laugh out loud
First off, fantastic batrep, love seeing a game go to turn 5.
One criticism is that the video quality looked really off compared to normal. Almost like the resolution got downgraded. Watched it on the app, site and YouTube and noticed the same thing everywhere.
What a fantastic game, I have really enjoyed all your content over the last year since discovering you guys whilst in lockdown as I restarted my 40k journey an easy sub each month.
what a game dice rolls swang back and forth great victory there bone against the great enemy lol
Congratulations to Sanga on having an absolutely epic voice for the new introductions. Very cool!
As always the robots are completely underwhelming for their points. I know you rolled poorly for Wrath of Mars, but thats part of the issue where they are the same as Oblits where without a very specific faction rulse and then a strategem and if all of that goes to plan and the dice rolls are with you they can get their points back. Otherwise they are just a massive points sync. Added to give them the actual fire output to try and get their points back you are completely giving up board control by having them stand still for… Read more »
I know its a little evil but I just couldnt stop laughing at 50:20 kudos to whoever has done the editing.
Great batrep.
What an awesome game! Turn 5 for player 2 was huge! Well done guys!!
You guys missed the chance to quote Star Wars!! Negotiations were……short
Send you everything you “need to make the machine spirit bend to your will”? Sounding mighty necron there Chef. Remember these guys worship a star god not a…. er…. oh….. carry on.
Chef… have you eaten Stig and just taken control of his armies?
Great game guys, that was indeed some spicy meatballs!
OH!!! I see what’s going on! Stig is working in the shadows like a good Stygies accolite and converting all TTT crew to the one true faction, AdMech! Happy to see that Chef too joined the true masters of mankind. I’m really looking forward to the new codex (I think it will be here in less than a month?). I love the AdMech and their shooting phase, what I belive we are missing are good melee options and usually we can have thoughness or speed, not both at the same time, so taking an objective and then holding it could… Read more »
Was concerned for you there at the start B bone thought you were off to Wyevale’s mate.
Wow what a great game, all the swings were had & boy were they big ones. Excellent play by both of you, well done to Chef using the Admech, I find myself sometimes being slightly overwhelmed as there is a lot going on within the army to remember everything but you managed it spot on. Fantastic come back yourself Mr.Bone, despite the harsh turn 2 bad luck train you managed to stay on the tracks & push through to the end of the line.
Once again great batrep chaps. Look forward to the next one 😀
Hell yeah Salamanders!!!!
Thank you guys, you are the best
As always, the best way to start the weekend. Coffee, painting & dose of glorious bat rep action.
Damn, what an absolute cracker of a game. Well played to both of you.
Was just gonna start some painting for the weekend before a pint on Monday, now there’s a new battle report to watch first with one of my favorites the trench coat cyborgs. What a nightmare🙄🙂.
STIIIIIIIIIG!
Nice to see Stig’s armies getting some love and taken out for a spin! ☄️
And so funny to see Beard’s epic “…and you have my axe!” moment from CoP! 😆👊🏼
Yes! VULKAN LIVES!
