Watching this just about two years later… Chef: “I’m not sold on aberrants”. More cult deception there I believe 🙂
When chef said that tanglefoot is only on infantry where is that from because the rules just say enemy unit?
Amazing game, love the chemistry between the players and I always love to see the custards getting a run out. That solar watch scheme is _gorgeous_. Great way to introduce the two books. On the tall helmets – traditionally tall helmets are used to give “presence” (think the UK bobby bell helmet) so the sheer size makes them more imposing and terifying. Given that those alchemical man beasts are larger than the poor cultists on bikes _already_ it seems a little overkill. Praetor was a rank in the roman judiciary; below a consul and were assumed to have wide ranging… Read more »
One of the funniest bat reps I’ve watched in a while. Really enjoyed it
Awesome game, really entertaining. Custodes seem to be the unstoppable force, who would be their immovable opposition, hmm.
Lovely batrep. They are very slick these days. Great job.
I also love how the Avatar of Khaine dropped his poop everywhere.
Tiger upper Emperors knee👁
Great report as alwyas guys. I wondered, would you ever create a report with a Sisters of Silence army. Would be interested to see how they play!
Such a fun game to watch! Loved the seeing both of these armies and I’m glad to hear Chef will be bringing them more often.
Oh that was so entertaining! Great game guys, the fun you had just poured from the screen. And damn the GSC are tempting. Not looked into the book in detail but what I’ve seen so far looks like so much fun to use! If only I could paint a million times faster, then I’d be buying into GSC for sure. Very excited to see them feature more regularly now!
Great game. One of the best ever.
Chef smiling all the way with his Genestealer Cult.
Beard on song as usual.
Top quality.

Just 12 minutes in but seeing how excited chef is already puts a smile on my face.
Why do Custodes have such weirdly shaped helmets? BECAUSE THEY ARE IN FACT BANANAS IN DISGUISE!!!
Great report, so much fun, I just feel like the custodes are in a rough spot, just like every “Elite” army now and the Codex has been more of a sidegrade than an upgrade for most of the stuff. Now -1D is everywhere, everybody gets disgustingly-resilient-waveserpent-dreadnaught-like rules. Even with the new codex Custodes are still struggling with anti-tank, one shooting phase, and a few lascannons and you’ve lost like 40-50% of your army, so the resilience department is also pretty bad. I would understand giving custodes +1 wound across the board. like 4 wound troops, 5 wound termies, that wouldn’t… Read more »
Chef looks so happy playing GSC! New favorite army, Chef?
“Are you going to hit R1 at the right time?” I love that Chef is an FF8 fan (or at least can make jokes about it).
Really enjoyed watching this game. Both books look to have plenty of depth, but neither seems obviously broken like some which shall remain unnamed.
Great report guys!
If it helps, “Praetor” in Latin is a rank relating to civil government.
I can’t confirm this with any books or googling, but my guess is that since both the Vexilla bearer and the bikers are canonically veterans, the “Praetor” in their name is some kind of veteran rank signifier.
[What does veteran even mean when your basic troops are immortal demigods who might be 1,000s of years old? Good question]
The fun you guys had is palpable. I liked Chefs outflanking. Fun to watch, thanks for the video
This was fun although cult buggies having -1 dam is ridonk
Nice! New subscriber here. Loving the content. I really want to do a cult army but I must finish my waaagh! First
Brilliant job getting all of these articles and the game out so quickly, really enjoyed all of your content, particularly as I play both armies! Thanks guys.
Look. Look. I’m not saying I would eat a custodes any any given day. But. Given the chance, I’m just saying that if one was going to eat a custodes, you’d want them cooked in the armour to seal in the juices. the Chef is of course, true to his nom de guerre.
Thanks for all these videos this week guys. The best thing here is my friend is a GSC player, I have a full custodes list with spares to build and all the information given in all these videos is going to be a major help.
And we both get to see how they do against each other.
My big question for you is how you think the blade champion will fit in?
Great game guys, really enjoyed that.
Awesome release batrep! I was great seeing how genuinely happy Chef was explaining all the shenanigans. Cant wait to see more GSC in the near future!
Sorry chef but I hope beard wins. Spider destroying custodes last game was rough lol.
Early days but looking interesting for the Talons forces. Certainly some good tools in there, great report!
Am I the only one who was expecting Chef to sprout a third arm when they were explaining how Beard got 15 points for his secondary?
What a fantastic release schedule. The Guide section is a really good addition. Watched the game to minute 38:00 and I ask myself if Beards move with the bikes is scripted to show off all the good stuff from the kult Codex or just his tactical genius.
Another great report. Cool to see the two new books in action.
I am hoping GW is keeping the ‘Tracer Rounds BABY!’ Strat for the new Guard codex.
Timing. I’m actually thinking of dreadhost custodes as my second army.
A match generations in the making! Heck yes!
Great way to start the weekend
Embeded video is only showing a link. Really looking forward to this game!!!
nvm. fixed
