Love seeing Imperial Guard getting the victory even with James dice rolling lol 😂 super fun game and I’ll really enjoy it and you do feel for James when he rolling dice just like beard lol 😂 your like oh no 🙈 not again lol 😂
At the risk of having another J nickname, I vote for calling James “The Jester”.
If “Oh James” was a drinking game, I would have passed out long before this game ended. 😀
Love seeing the highlights of the move phase with the explanations. Good to see the scions out for a slapping. Getting a win with those rolls though – oof. That turn one opener was a demonstration of why deployment matters for sure 🙂
Good game – nice to see the Guard mashing some Bugs for a change! To be honest, I didn’t really enjoy seeing the movement phase, as I felt it really slowed the report down – I much prefer just having a summary of the movement.
Any update on a tuesday report 😅😅
Very fun game, great watch, unlucky Jinx
I still like “The Moose” for James’ nickname 🙂
This was a very fun game. I love the chemistry between all 3 presenters! It is also great to see an 8th ed army vs 8th ed army 🙂
Fresh back from a tournament where I lost to guard in the last round, that spectacular perils about 35mins in was a very cathartic moment for me (sorry James) – honestly Katie vs James with Chef on the camera is a glorious combo!
Thanks God for your Dice Tray, all you have to do is zoom in and fade it in and out as necessary. Viva la resistance!
What a great fun game!!!
Im listening to this as I work and all I can hear is Katie vs Douglas Reynholm from I.T Crowd….
FATHEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR!
Those meanies, what did those poor bugs ever do to you
Great Game! I like how James handels te Imperial Guard!
well, really nice BatRep….but one thing I wonder for quite some time now: Where did Jinx loose her way of rolling the dice??
I love how avuncular Chef become when he is with James and Katie… an grumpy old uncle with his nephews! frankly he reminds me of myself.
Nice game, and as always a lovely mood in there. A great way to end this week!
We didn’t settle on a nickname yet for James, I thought 🤔 it was “the duce” from the last game?
I am referring to the game Chef and James played.
*notices the total run time* uh-oh 👀
It’s For Your Own Good: If this model is slain as a result of Perils of the Warp whilst within 6″ of a friendly COMMISSAR, they are executed before anything untoward can happen – the power they were attempting still fails, but units within 6″ of them do not suffer D3 mortal wounds as normal.
This is only for a Primaris Psyker James had a Astropath am i missing somthing else
First match I watch with James playing the raptors… man I like the character you give to this army 🙂
Now that’s a fun nid list 😊 Adrenal Webs on the genestealers… they will be moving!
