james needs to chill. too much manic energy
Absolutely epic as always! Such a great batrep! Love to see Chaos having some teeth on the table too! Gotta compliment the animations for attacks and stuff from the overhead camera.. loved that, so cool, hope that keeps being a thing. Good job all!
Heyho, i’m new into warhammer and i have a question, how can master of possession have 2 relics? Please help 😉
That’s was a great game just love it 😍 so funny and great sportsmanship all around was laughing all the way though cant believe so many explosions in one game all next to Bobby G so lucky for him 🙂
Just starting the video and Beard, WHY ARE YOU SO BEAUTIFUL ? Don’t tempt me to the dark side please !
Great game! I now demand that you all play in formal wear all the time. You could be the sharpest dressed channel on the web. Maybe extend the Grotty clothing line into suits and ties?
P. S. even in super casual games, please use the strats that are available, marines already have an uphill battle into the 9th Ed books 😂
Someone call Nathaniel Garro his services are required, there’s a former First Captain who wants a rematch.
Amazing game! Thank you all for such incredible energy all the way through the report and the new animations are brilliant! Makes it alot easier to tell what’s happening in the game
In regards to paying for Abaddons WLTs – you only pay 1 CP for him, and unlock all three of them, as stated at the bottom of a Warcom article.
** Importantly, though you must now pay 1CP each for a Warlord Trait and a Relic, Warlords that gain multiple Warlord Traits – such as Mortarion – still only pay 1CP in total.
Edit: Nevermind, saw Chefs comment in the Emps. Children video that you are aware of it.
The edits/ shooting sequences are very cool.
Epic game! Chaos week should be an annual thing!
Animations keep improving too, good job.
Abaddon is simply a beast!
I loved the BR, the animation is a great addition 👌
@flynn buckland, for the live of god, change this accursed black dice, I heard TTT have a nice magma dice.
The final epic fight was …. epic 😁🤣👍
Every time Bard says “Blade Guard” I hear it to the tune of Gay Bar by Electric Six.
amazing bat rep… would it be possible to see a 2v2 chaos against gk/marines or aeldari or something?
My man Beard elevating the content over here, showing up in a suit and tie. What a legend.
What a fantastic game! Chaos week has me very excited.
Wondering why they sent Horus to fight the emprah and not Abbadon? He’s clearly bitch slapping a primarch… Our beloved MW would disagree with this game! Apart from that, awesome game as usual! Fun to watch 🙂
Nice to see the csm looking good chaos week glorious! Like the new effects to more please
Guys… “only in death does duty end” strat, it would have been ultra epic!
Amazing game!!! I gotta say though, Abbadon and Guilliman are so far away one of each other….GW should at least try to compensate the main characters…Abbadon can kill a primarch in one turn and Abbadon just gets 3 wounds 😱😱😱so many attacks, powerful, re-rolls, desengaging, shooting and fighting again??? This is just crazzy…regardless, fun to watch and good work guys!
Great game. And that board is beautiful.
Legionaries not Legionaires. Legionaires fight in the French Foreign Legion. Legionaries describes the soldiers of Imperial Roman. Please not that Chaos Marines belong to the Legions – so they are Legionaries. Please get it right!
Beard’s suit appears to be Black Watch tartan. Not quite Black Legion but appropriate formal Chaotic Scotsman energy.
Abaddon looked all the various Primarchs and thought: “Laughable. Let me show them how it is done”
Poor Bobby, let’s hope in Codex 2.0. Magnus and Mortarion will have to wait another edition probably.
I`m happy for my fellow Chaos Marine players. The new codex seems fun and not broken. Love the chonky scenery and the pew pew effects.
On a sidenote: How about a tour of the studio? I want to see the Servoskull station, the painting room etc.
I have to say, I really really like the weapon firing effects (is that new? If not, why have I not noticed this before?)
Beard’s having so much fun. It’s Iron Warriors and Black Legion for the foreseeable future. Chef, when are we seeing that Alpha Legion army?
I really really hate to be that gal because linguistic prescriptivism is cringe, but the plural of legionnaire is [legion-air-ee-s]. [legion-airs] is a pulmonary disease caused bu inhalation of aerosolised water containing the legionella bacteria. Thoroughly enjoyed the batrep and I’m so excited for chaos week!
I missed the movement panel you guys used to do after the movement phase, just for keeping track of where everything is.
I REALLY like the shooting/psychic top down overlay for both the graphics and for getting a birds eye view of the entire battlefield.
Also, I can’t support your choices with the GT pack stuff more. Half CP but house ruling the Warlord trait cost is a decision Grandfather Nurgle would approve of.
Knew Abadon would slap Guilliman. He is so under welming now. Even a human sister of battle can one shot him. :/
Ya’ll do such phenomenal work – what a game! It’s also awesome to see how Katie and James improve as players, editing videos, etc., and progress “in career.” The new painting tutorials are just another great addition to have Fletcher engage on the channel. TT really is top-notch/tier for the community. Thanks!
This game was incredibly fun to watch. I loved it so much
not a big fan of the GT pack CP rules -> not a fan of it getting taken over into non-league games. It just makes lists more boring since situational traits and relics become deadweight & any FW unit with a CP tax that’s not OP gets damned to rot on the shelf. If someone does not want to spend any CP pregame, that’s fine but I heavily dislike that the option has been taken from players (especially since some codices are balanced around using CP for traits/relics/multiple detachments to get stuff like specialist mobs.
Great game and love the suit beard. I’m excited that Abaddon’s key words means I can add him to my Chaos Knights and not lose their abilities LOL let the ridiculous begin 😂🤣
Abaddon is an absolute power house! Great game and awesome models. SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!!
I love all the presenters we have on this show but there’s something about Bard’s genuine enthusiasm, win or lose that is just fantastic.
Also Mr. Beard Sir! A quite belated congrats on the baby!
I’ll also add to the chorus, in that the new attack animations are really sharp. I know it must be time consuming, so wanted to say I do appreciate it.
I really like the attack animations you’ve added.
What an incredible game. The Warmaster has arrived and he wants to see the galaxy burn!
Amazing terrain!
Great to watch! And to see CSM power up!When will be the moment Bard will face off El Beardo in the pit of doom -while ServoSkull Chef is in the house too🦾💪🏼
I dont know how TRnSHMan PhySIoLgy keeps being so funny, but it is. So please keep doing it LMAO
Can I ask where you guys got the new terrain? That tower is awesome!
I’ve been wondering, does it help the channel more to watch the “Free-View” videos on the youtube channel or here on the site? I’m happy to watch it on either, but if one is better for y’all one way or the other, I’d be glad to watch it that way.
Love the visuals of what unit is shooting what enemy unit, I’m often painting and not always looking at my screen all the time so this helps bring back understandng =)
Abbadon is bad bad man, also hype for the Oblits
Its good to see that the Chaos marines finally get the new codex. However it also shows how much the Imperial Regent needs a rule update.
I know it’s a very random question but what kind of signet ring is Beard wearing? 👀
Abaddon can reroll his own hits and wounds.l as he’s a Black Legion Character.
James! No stratagems, no CP rerolls, why are you trying so hard to lose? Bobby G could have fought on death, Tigerius could have used Transhuman just as a lot of intercessors and blade guards. Losing the game while having 7 CPs left is kinda stupid, especially considering you regenerate them 5+. Not using stratagems got too far. A great battle report, great to see CSMs updated to be a real menace, the only thing is probably Abby is a bit too strong, especially for armies without psychic support. (it would be nice to see how T’au can deal with… Read more »
So very excited to watch this but I really can’t wait for beard to get to play his iron warriors!!! Iron within iron without!!!
