**NEW CODEX!!** Tyranids vs Astra Militarum | Warhammer 40k Battle Report
The first Codex of 10th Edition has arrived with a bang as we bring every single Tyranid from the TT Hive Fleet to face off against the Astra Militarum! 6000 points on the table, but will Bard be able to hold back the unending waves of Xenos, or will Jinx succeed in her mission to consume all of the biomass??

great battle report
Amazing game as always, I love watching these. I just wanted to comment on the paint scheme for the tyranids. Fletcher has reeeeeeally outdone himself and they are jaw droppingly gorgeous. They look like what might have happened if the nids consumed the Flesh Tearers and evolved to incorporate their traits. They look so good.
Btw James…the Heavy Bolters on the Baneblade are twin-linked. Might have helped you a few times. 😀

Fantastic game! Really enjoyed the narrative element, looking forward to further games like this.
That was such an epic match! So much fun to watch. Jinx and Bard had great energy and played out a great narrative game. Well done!
How did you guys make the road and gates?? Would love to have a go at these!
I too was by traumatised from those scarabs in The Mummy!
Awesome game
Lots of fun !!
Hey guys are the markers that you use to mark out deployment avalable to buy in store? 🙂 they are pretty awesome!
Absolutely fantastic format! Love the 3000 point size for the game! And the tabletop is absolutely awesome for the Militarium!
oh this is painful, give James some loaded dice please! cant bare seeing a baneblade whiff soo hard haha. great game all
I was right on IG about the onslaught… What a narrative again !! The new Nid range is awesome, one of the best looking army ever.
Amazing one for a first onslaught on the channel (as far as I remember). Cheers !
I always feel for James. He could hit on 2’s rerolling and still miss half. Reminds me of ‘Try again’ Bragg from the gaunts ghosts. Missing every shot haha.
New name suggested for the lackluster Baneblade – Careless Whisper.
Fantastic game, beautiful models, and Katie has achieved full “sustained” capabilities.
Not much to add to the previous commenters, but it was a great game indeed. Looking forward to the next one vs the Flesh Tearers 👍
What an epic battle report! Always fun to see skewed missions with a strong narrative and this was no exception. So many epic moments – the Emissary-Baneblade showdown was worth it all in its own. (And yes – the Baneblsde must henceforth be known as Thunderchild – love a War of the World’s reference).
Absolutely love you guys and your infectious positivity. Can’t wait for the rest of Tark week!
Amazing game! Loved it.
Always find myself watching and listening whilst painting with a smile on my face. Thanks for the great content as always guys.
Fantastic game and setup. Poor James rolling so many 1s (again) :P.
Also, incredible paint job on those Tyranid models. Add an additional leash to Fletcher so he does not run away 😀
“My beautiful moustached boy” is THE quote from James! 😅
This would have been truly epic on a bigger board, it all felt a bit crammed in, but was still great fun to watch regardless. James as always made this game for me, amazed at his constant positivity in the face of some horrendous luck, well played sir.
Very cool, those new models are beautiful.
Really fun game, great to see something more narrative/different for a new codex game! The Guard were really up against it this time though, poor men. Rules question: what do you base the “everything happens at the same time” ruling on? As far as I see in the rules, shooting attacks are resolved one at a time. So you can kill the bodyguard unit and then have any remaining attacks be allocated to a Leader, without that leader benefiting from any “whilst it leads a unit” rules as the bodyguard unit is dead by then. Curious to see if I… Read more »
Team this is absolutely glorious! The narrative mission (as you said on the podcast) just adds that extra element of fun. Also the overhead camera shot of the entire movement phase is 👌🏻
Sorry, wish I could watch and the faction focused but until I get the codex it’s going to spoil it…dam
Amazing love to see some real and fantastic hobby action these over competitive days. Made my evening…please tell me this is a new kick off to a narrative story?!!
And that paint job…cant even find words its gorgeous.
Good fun! Nice game, suitably cinematic, tense! Jinx, you must be delighted with the lurvly new toys; James, glad you got to use Baney McBladeface!
I greatly appreciated seeing the full (sped-up) movement occur via the overhead cam, minus any dialogue. I hope this is a feature you utilize in all subsequent games (if you have been doing so in other videos, I’m sorry that it didn’t register until this one), it significantly enhances the flow of the game for me.
Yay for new Nids! Looking forward to get my big bugs, too.
Still I am happy that Jamie Hyneman made it out alive.
As Tyranids player, never rooted more for the guard!
Can’t wait to watch this, but man, a bigger board for this would be so awesome.
My favourite battle report in awhile, good fun and narrative and amazing work on the paint on the new nids.
yes…
Amazing did watch the Nid list 1st cos I want to know what’s happened to my beautiful boyz.
@TabletopTactics – Might be the wrong place but didn’t know where else to put it it.
With the return of cast of players have you considered doing a deathwatch campaign?
Awesome and wickedly fun and cool game! Love the new Nids!!
Just beginning James’s first movement phase and this is already epic!! Thank you guys for another amazing game with some narrative flair. Let the carnage begin!!!
Fabulous game. Excellent scenario. Loved the narrative interpretation. Thank you so much.
Here’s hoping I can sit through a whole bat rep in one sitting today, because this is a big looking fun game. Cheers guys. I can’t wait to make an emissary
Fantastic way to show off the new rules! Loved this game!
This is going to be awesome! Just watched the lists… that Baneblade needs to, henceforth, be known as Thunderchild! Come on Tunderchild!!!
This huge batrep on my birthday!? Cant wait to watch this tonight!
5 minutes in and there’s a War of the Worlds Thunderchild reference. I AM IN MY HAPPY PLACE
Oh lordy lord. Look at that table…
the Guard doing their part, only good bug is a dead bug! JK aside, lets gooooooooooooo
Jinx must be stoked.
