Hi everyone, we’d love to have this game as a preview of the new Ad Mech book, but alas we have not received anything from GW. Once we have our hands on the book, we’ll talk about it but until then enjoy these two peanuts 😅
Great game as always and a blast to watch. I hope Chef gets a bonus for having to edit and provide corrections for the peanuts. He worked overtime on this one lol.
I’m really gonna miss the old Bone/Beard Bonanzas…
What a great game lol xD love it to be honest love beard and Bones games so funny with terrible rolls lol xD and love the blowing up the sun shark flyer turn one lol xD poor bones
Top quality content, entertaining as ever and a very well written pair of lists! Loved it like an invulnerable save
This is what happens when people are allowed to drink at work. This was hilarious nonsense from start to finish. Love it.
-what a great game guy’s🥳! With all the warhammer goodness in it! Lucky roll’s, bad math, screams in joy and anger.. just perfect! Well well played I just needed one of those games were all the things comes down!
Thank you for the game and thank the golden throne that somebody is watching your scoures on the board 😅😅
Beautiful Astra Militarum army
That ended up being quite a game. I sincerely hope that whatever changes end up happening for the T’au when they get their book make the markerlight system less of an albatross around the player’s neck. That’s over and above GW having a good hard look at the rules for, well, a whole raft of T’au units really.
A draw but with these two everyone’s a winner baby.
Wow, look at the size of that…………………….dice tray.
Nice, much better, anyway on with the game.
Thoughts about Trooper Terrance being the Sly Marbo of the Raptors?
Maybe a conversion required
Shadowsun can be in a Supreme command detachment?
Rob!
Sneaky draw best draw
Yooooooooooouuuuuuuu pair of silly sausages, with yer Wi-verns and yer score miscalculations and yer delightful nonsense. I shall be very sad when there are no more Beard and Bone Bat Reps to watch.
FOOL of a beard, threw the game away the minute he did not include INQUISTOR HEIDEGGER in his list
Nice Arial Spotter animation!
The more I see Tau play the more I get annoyed that every other army just has to have the ‘Core’ designation and be within a few inches of their command unit in order to get the bonuses that Tau have to roll multiple hits wasting shots. They should just get the same bonuses and have the markerlights do something else.
Hey Bone, are you leaving for good, or are you gonna be coming back a few times per year? I still can’t cope with a prospect of tragedy of such a scale
“You eighter win or lose. There’s no in between.”
Inquisitor Heidegger
This game was a win for everybody who was involved (maybe excepted for the editor 🤗). I’ll really miss this Beard and Bone nonsense.
B Bone vs Beard. Today is a good day to banter – my cuppa is ready, my ploughman’s prepared and the kids locked in my dungeon. Time to relax. Thank you guys!
I learned a new word today…… brings me back to the halcyon days of learning at school 😁
Look at this dice tray! It‘s beautyful! As are the presenters !
Is the Wyvern mispronunciation done for the comedic effect?
For the greater good.
I said good day to you!
