Thought the GK had it, well fought back Chef =) thanks for the batrep
I don’t have much interest in either of these factions. Still highly entertaining and engaging. Another example of what makes the table top tactics team so extraordinary.
I really wish we could get an MP3 of chef going ” oh you have a character? DEAD!” because it will make a beautiful text tone
Almost every time James makes a joke i think “aww, bless”.
Jinx and Bless for nicknames?
Well played gents. Liked the camera work Jinx. Always a joy.
Thanks for taking the time to respond. The quality of the show is just bonkers. You must be doing something right ☺️
Loving the new format of showing the moves for each army at the start of your turn.
how come i can’t download this one?
Great game, love the new format. James is a great addition. I know GK list wasn’t optimized but still hate DG, too resilient and tough, reducing damage and toughness of opponent (?). Plague Marine taking out Voldus easily…
Good game, really enjoyed the death gaurd list.
Should Crowe have fought first in the fight phase due to Martial superiority? I dont think it would have made a difference though. Great game, I always feel for Chef with his rolls though… DG vs GK is a match i play quite a bit (from the GK side), dont know what you guys think but i feel i have to make maximum use of MWs in my psychic phase (making taking a libby bomb almost insta pick)? With the lack of range and the DG’s making most GK stuff 1D and then reducing toughness in combat, really seems to… Read more »
If you dropped two blight Terminators and put them in one unit you could get a unit 18 of pox walkers,have to drop a combi plasma and a blight launcher though.. ,just love the pox Walker’s think there the best unit for there points in the game.
Great game !! So many up and downs along the turns… Awesome.
The new format is getting better each time. I was painting when listening so I lost some details, like Voldus’s demise because sountrack only doesn’t help. My bad.
I think a good nickname for James would be “the Bard” he reminds me of the bard from the witcher and also annunciates like his on stage when he gets excited. Very entertaining!
Great show guys ! Out of curiosity, why did you guys make the change to the format ? Is it a response to a technical issue or a popular request or ? I like it, I’m just genuinely interested. I like that the players are describing the plays now (as opposed to a neutral camera person) but for me, the entertainment value would go up if the third person would chime in a bit more. Jinx did it a little more in this batrep and it was good. Not a complaint : I know you like constructive feedbacks so there… Read more »
Loved the non meta lists. I love infantry heavy GK. Only thing i wouldve done differently woulda been spamming the Purifying ritual for a quick maxxed secondary. Its too good and i may be incorrect here but shouldnt Crowe have fought first because of his rule? Regardless Ive been keen to see James battle Chef and was even better to see him use my Favorite army. The crew is on point with the editting! Epic
I really like “The Moose” for James’ nickname.
As a Canadian, I am extremely offended by this episode. The Moose is a majestic creature whose eggs provide much needed nourishment in the winter months
I love the commercial at the beginning! It was awesome 🙂 Can I expect videos at the end of upcoming videos to have the gang singing Christmas carols? That would be awesome! 🙂
“Video unavailable” now I’m sad.
When I got up this morning I had plan to order a Christmas jumper so I guess it was meant to be 👍
Whole team is on point rn, James and Katy are fitting in so well
Really like this format. Works well. Seeing the movements is much better imo.
Chef, the “bad luck” quick edit made me choke on my coffee, great job everyone! Such a fun batrep, James is such a great addition to the team!
james is like the sound effects dude from police academy lol
@42:35, there unfortunately seems to be an audio issue. Warp tainted scrapcode in the vox maybe?
Currently crying with laughter at Chef’s comment that James is actually a goldfish piloting a human robot suit. xD
James’s nickname suggestions: Goldfish (“fish” for short) or some variant thereof.
Smashing game folks, thank you! Cool to see a few different things come out to play, the paladins, stormraven, etc. I’d forgotten how smol the Myphitic Blighthaulers are. Adorable.
good fun batrep for sure ! wp all 🙂
1 note : since you only have 1 dicetray, the 2 of you have to change places all the time. that gives me as a viewer a chaotic/clunky feeling and i sometimes had to double check wich players turn we were in the middle of. i would give the only-1-shared-dice-tray concept a second thought.
Thank you, Chef! You brought a list that it’s very different from the one I usually play, and it was really interesting to see how it worked. I thought to try again to use things like the Plague Marines, but since I don’t have that much time I tend to use my main list to have it ready when I go to tournaments. It’s great to see different things in action thanks to your batreps.
Nice to see James again, I’d say that he is feeling right at home with the team already!
I keep getting a Video Unavailable error. If I go straight to YouTube I can watch it tho, just not on the app.
Owned, James Owned
Great game. Chef losing his shit priceless😂 that jumper came off real quick with those dice rolls…
For titan!!!!
The editing in this is SUBLIME! There’s so many subtle jumps in the timeline with effective cuts that you don’t notice at all (unless you know editing ofc). It makes it so easy to watch.
Chef, your skills do so much for this show, I must commend your work.
Edit: and jinx and beard, apologies for missing you out!
I’ll stop fanboying now.
Nick-name? “Sound effect guy” (haha) 🙂
Grime Time Baby!!!!
Or Slime Time?🤔
