I got far too much enjoyment out of 1:27:28 and watched it wayyy too many times. Top notch fellas, hugely entertaining!
Oh man this is so much more fun !!! I utterly hate having to pick secondary objectives so this is win win win all day.
It actually helps books that aren’t very competitive atm because it had that random aspect.
Love it
Loved this batrep, Tempest of War is fantastic!
Adore these maelstron games, you seem so into it and it looks so fun! Awesome work from the servo skull too. A+, would TRANSHUMAN PHSIOLOGY again
This one was so much fun to watch! You’ve completely sold me on Tempest of War, it sounds like it makes setup quicker and feels so much more competitive – I’ve already ordered my set. The only thing I worry about is I play Thousand Sons, and I know you mentioned unbalanced armies might suffer under these rules, I wonder if I’m likely to struggle?
I love it!!!!! Loved Maelstrom and I’m sure I’ll love this. Thanks guys!
Every non league game could be tempest, and I’d be totally happy. Good show lads.
The apothecary bit killed me he’s got square shoes 😂😂
Amazing game, pleasure to watch. I also wrongly assumed from the description on the warcom article that tempest was open war. So happy that I was mistaken.
That was an absolute delight to watch! Changing those secondaries around and having to be so adaptable is exactly the 40K I’m looking for.
And your folks looked like you were having so much fun, which is what it’s all about!
Top notch action my dudes 👍 Absolutely loved this (and have now pre-ordered my own tempest of war pack as a result). Keep being awesome you beautiful bastards.
What an intense battle! *lol*
I really liked it and enjoyed watching!
But seriously, Beard.
What was wrong with your dice? Have you robbed the luck of the Iri… Spider?
I literally never saw you rolling that hot. Awesome.
I’m just going to echo what others have said, this was fun to watch and I feel a step in the right direction for 9th edition, for me. I’m looking to giving this a go once I get those cards!
So happy to see a fun and random game of 40k! This should be the gold standard in set releases moving forward too, the cards are so handy and much easier than flipping through multiple rulebooks.
Excellent. Well done as always.
Finally! 9th edition but… fun! Seriously, this is the best kind of game for me. The league is all well and good, but I’ve missed maelstrom so much! Well done all, an excellent game!
One of my fav vids so far, great show!!!
I love the necron basing scheme with the autumn leaves. Where did you get the leaves? Thanks!
Tip of the hat to you for letting me know these cards exist! Maelstrom BABY!
And Beard won by default having 69 VP (hehe)
I like it 😁👍
Superb 🤌🏼 Love this style of play so much. More of these videos please.
The MOST important question…where did you get those palm trees they look great lol??
Yes … 40K is back on the road again!
Absolutely THRILLED to have this back! After a rough few months of being uninspired with my Iron Warriors/CSM due to the state of codex/game, the wombo-combo of the 2 wound announcement and Tempest of War has reinvigorated me to continue the Long War! Cannot wait to see more of this content from you guys. Iron Within! Iron Without!
More of Tempest please. This was a blast to watch!
…there was a 3rd mummy film…🤔
Maelstrom BABYYYYY
Open the floodgates 🤟
This was soooo awesome i can not wait for the next melstrom battle report!!! And ULTRAMARINES BAAAAAYBEEEE!! so good seeing the blue boys out in force ^^ . Next game 3000 pts? ;P
League Report = GT Mission Pack
Battle Report = Tempest of War BABY!!
As always it was great to watch you enjoy yourselves so much!
Personally I am still on the fence about Tempest cause I didn’t like the randomness of Maelstrom since I prefer a more “studied” approach to the game (even now that I am so disillusioned with competitive and disgusted by how bad GW is at balancing), but also cause I still don’t know if anyone in my gaming group would be interested in trying it. I will watch your games and your review with great interest, and maybe I will come to it a bit later.
Absolutely loved watching this match up! New Maelstrom is just awesome. Always enjoy watching Beard and Chef battle it out. I can’t wait to see more in the future.
Im sensing a very subtle hint that you like these new cards!
TooT TooT! Keep blowing that trumpet.
Completely echo what you say at the end of the report. For me, 9th has become very clinical and optimised even below the competitive level, you take the same few secondaries and need to build your lists with the same few units taken three times to, generally speaking, stand a fighting chance of scoring well, which has become very formulaic and dull as the edition has come on. Even speaking as someone not enthralled by Maelstrom in 8th, I genuinely believe this is the sort of thing the game needs in order to promote diverse army selections, more styles of… Read more »
Great battle report. Great show. I think Tempest is even better than Maelstrom or Schemes.
Thanks for playing Ultramarines with Uriel Ventris. Love them so much.

“Uriel Ventris is over there! He’s got square shoes!” – Best Beard Quote Ever
I’m very impressed with the Tempest of War rules. Though I do enjoy the mission packs, they are a pain to implement in pick-up games, so this will be a welcome alternative at my local game store. And this served as a great ambassador to the new cards. A tight game to the very end!
On a completely different tangent, I have to say this was the first time I really took a look at the Ultramarines models. The paint job on Tigerius is MAGNIFICENT! Same for the new Apothecary model. Well done!
I do love maelstrom of war battle reps and I think it’s the best type of game since Ive gotten back into the game. Allways a great time had when Beard and Chef play Maelstrom!
Sorry to detract from the video but just was wondering if you guys have any thoughts on potentially getting into the new Horus heresy? I think you guys would make some absolutely amazing narrative games with them!
It’s interesting watching two early codexes going at each other. Both armies have tons left by the end of the third turn compared to a more recent codex where the board is down to scraps by then.
Can’t help but feel it makes for more interesting games.
The tempest cards meaning you can’t build your army to farm the same secondaries feels like an improvement especially in casual games.
The happiness I feel seeing Maelstrom back!!! It’s MAELSTROM BAAABBBYYY!
I am so happy for you both! I can’t wait to try out the cards
Man have I missed these types of games woooooo
Man I love Maelstrom. Feels like a cleaner version of the game and adds a bit more balance. Not a huge fan of secondaries to be honest. Rock on dudes
Can we get an extensive video on how tempest missions work?
Update, I should have waited for 5 minutes, thanks for answering me so fast, you are the best 👌 👍
Thanks
I really don’t like these but you guys have so much fun.
The energy from the intro alone has me PUMPED
Maelstrom was always my favourite way to play as it levelled out the playing field a bit. Hopefully this does the same and if it does a nice even balance between this and competitive would work well. Shows everyone how flexible this game can be if you play it the way you love (yes even with your own house rules.)
