Here’s your spoiler warning comment
Below here are spoilers
Keep going if you want spoilers
Don’t blame anyone but yourselves beyond this point
Seriously, I shouldn’t have to do this at all
But you’re all gonna just be like you are aren’t you?
Good thing we still love you.
Unlike me and Votann.
We could have had Exodites instead
Alright that should be enough.
Why are you still here? Watch the game.
Hey guys, fantastic fun once again. Love all the content. Wait to keep the fun in wargaming. But since it’s the League, I gotta be a rules guy: Beard, I think you’ve given the Sagitaurs too many guns. I’m pretty sure the L7 launcher and the Sagitaur missile launcher is one or the other not both. I think you used both weapons in the first game as well? Maybe you’ve already caught this moving forward, and I’m just behind on my videos.
Can’t wait to keep watching and see how season two unfolds!
What a game. Absolutely loved watching that. Who knew this game we all love could be so much fun to watch. Great game gents looking forward to the rest of the league!
Beard, I’m beginning to think you’re not using HunTRs Mark on purpose here. Everytime you missed with the Magna Rail I nearly had a heart attack!
Please use it….
Please
Please for the the love of god man use it.
I’m going to be sick…. Out my butt…. Classy!
That was an absolutely excellent game! A proper nail biter! Great job all.
Great game – love watching the pair of you. Bard – you have come so far since your tentative first steps with the T’au intro fight. You’ve really settled into the team. The grenade launcher shenannigans at 47m just highlights what I dislike about Votann. Are they OP? Individually, not really (though a pack of indestructible berserkers would like to disagree) but skipping a step or overriding your rules just feels so bad. Toughness ceases to matter as they skip the wound step, many weapons have high damage (I loved the “6 damage? Yeah, sounds right” comment from the forge… Read more »
Is it just me or is the resolution poor on mobile phones? There used to be settings to adjust the resolution but it’s no longer there…
BRUTAL
Wow! Just wow. That was a cracking game and James finally got to roll some 6s! Whoop! Was curious as to all the minuses to hit, doesn’t it cap at minus 1 or am I getting very confused? Thanks for another nail biter!
Congrats Bard! Very happy for you!
Beard – my heart still has you blacklisted #JustSayNoToVotann
That was a great game. Both those lists are brutal. This game just shows how much the “auto wound on X to hit” army wide is such as BAD rule. I hope 10th buries that for good. Not sure what list that remains is going to match well against that guard list. Tanks-away!!
Loving the subtle changes to the league format!
Well done Bard/James! That was a very entertaining game!
Bard has realised that while he can’t do anything about his luck (which presumably is the result of some sort of generational curse or faustian bargain gone wrong) he can write a list that needs no luck to win.
What a great game!! Congrats Bard! I think it would’ve been better for you if you had held that Dorn back for that first turn. Now I’m just waiting waiting for my dusty boyz to lay some psychic smack down! Go Chef ! I got you in my bracket Chef! for my gaming group bet! There’s a 6 pack of Guinness and a cigar riding on you buddy! “We did nothing wrong!”
No pressure 🤣
What a nailbiter! Love the league games!
The guard fire power is brutal. The pioneers will probably hurt most of the other armies in the league. Just evaporated here.
I love the league games. Will we be seeing an AoS league? I sure hope so….
Excellent Batrep! This is going to be a close league! When is Spider going to start? Can’t wait to see the Orks in action!
thanks for this battlerep – this was insane to watch.
Congrats to both side well played
Couldnt have been a more tense game, highly enjoyable. So happy for mr Tank Commander Bard, congrats!
This game was mostly decided in the lists. All of AM army was geared to eliminate heavily armoured opponents, and thats what happened. Special mention goes to Rough Riders i guess? Those little 100p units wiped the bikes and by all means should have wiped that Sagitaur too.
Well im sure everyones back to their corners now, practicing railgun hitting and not spending CP on ablative armour, and we will be back to even more close matches in the near future!
OMG that was amazing!! well done Bard, great to see you with a win 🙂
There are a couple of games I have book marked as most watches on TT when having some paint and chill time with other enthusiasts. This is getting added to the list. What a game. Brutal and clever, 40K at its best.
Great close game on both sides! Tally -ho 🫡
Beard. hey bud, so something to consider if you haven’t, I run almost exclusively beam weapons and it has paid off better than the rail weapons, except on the sagitaur, i also run 2 pioneer squads of 4 bodies, and a small 3 man, also a grymnir has been a bigger boon than the other characters for me especially with both the ancestral power and the murmuring stave and interface echo. just things to consider. awesome game guys as always!
It would be nice to be able to download these as well. It’s great on international flights to get caught up on all things TTT, but you can’t stream so download is the only way.
Phew! Now that was a match up.
Absolutely BRUTAL!!! 🤘🤘🤘 awesome to watch! Live you both, we’ll done dudes!
Early game spoilers:
Disappointed with what happened with the Dorn but honestly not surprised.
Fantastic game! Really interesting matchup! =D
Cadia stands!! Well done Bard. Tough one but you pulled through even with those dice rolls.
Go guard
Great game, and the League is such a great format!
Loved it when the Leman Russ went ‘POP’ 💥 haha
Grudgibles…now contain 20% more corpstarch! So you can keep grudging for longer!
Beard, you think not rerolling those first two misses with the rail gun might have been a mistake?
LETS GO BARD!!! TALLY-HOOOOO!!!
Behold! This beautiful Beard/Bard batrep behoves beholding because both brilliant boys benefit from broken battalions of big bombardments bemoaning balance of Beards bantam bogeymen and both boy’s below brilliant…er…rolling…
Pan Spectral Spanner in the same toolbox as the Sonic Screwdriver ☺️
I have to say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed an entire week of Bard. Relentlessly positive and entertaining in the face of being stomped by big stompy things, covered in poo by rats, chased by the undying legions and finally assaulted by a bunch of short angry shirtless men. Time for a lie down young Jiminy!
Tally Ho! Finally the Guard arrived in the League, but for the love of the God Emperor: purge those cursed dice Bard!
Spoilers in here so please don’t read until finished – you are forewarned.
James, I really like you but Dwarves need to stubbornly win, even if only by a little every game.
There was a bit in there turn 1 ‘Destroyed by 5 miners’ and I just thought ‘Yeah they are pretty small.’ ‘Miners not Minors!!’
Dwarves v lots of massive guns how will this go? Should be one way traffic but I bet it isn’t (mostly because of bard’s skill in rolling 1’s) 🙂
Beards Vs moustaches, Scottish accents Vs English accents, a movie series with Sean Bean Vs a TV series with Sean Bean.
Tanks so much.
Seems Vashtor has come to attack the audio.
Oh noooo, I wanna watch this but I have a knights on knights game in an hour! No fair xD
Please James just this once can you not roll like utter toss lol
Well, this is guna be a slugfest. Happy Saturday TTT
Rock and stone!
