Chaos Space Marines vs Genestealer Cults. 40k in 40m Warhammer Battle! Ascension Day Now? 

What is it with Tycho´s voice being so perfectly villainous? He really does live up to his title as THE child of chaos.

"These are the wrong kind of Mutants, folks, the wrong kind! *shrimp-flavoured* " That sent me, Tycho is such a funny dude😂

I...don't think I've ever seen Nick so demoralized.

Nick was rolling like me. Oof, I've never felt so much compassion for a genestealer player like this before!

That Hellbrute model is so old I remember when it was a dreadnought.

"An uprising? That's the wrong kind of chaos! Our kind of chaos... er... serves the masters. Anyway, to battle!"

You know, for all the absolute whiffs the dice dealt Nick, kudos to him on keeping up with the scoring even mid-tilt! Amazing work, you got dealt a nasty hand

First time seeing Iron Warriors on this channel and not one hazard stripe in sight. It's definitely Iron Without smh 😮‍💨

that was rough to watch, poor nick those genestealers forgot to have their wheaties before battle

Curent state of codex GSC. Can't kill anything, can't survive anything, and you've got a 50% chance for your units to be overcosted. Grim, indeed.

GSC are meant to be a sort of horde with low damage who win via smart tactics and having like 20 different things going on, problem is they can't kill shit in shooting, their melee is strong but dies to a soft breeze, they just don't have tankiness at all, they just can't get hit, and whilst they can bring units back, it's so unreliable, they're meant to be the smart and highly, highly tactical army, but they can't actually survive long enough and can't hit hard enough to actually carry out a full game plan

Thanks for trying Nick. GSC codex is in a terrible state and you braved it admirably ❤

appreciate Nick taking one for the team and continuing to show how bad GsC (and his dice rolls) are

Good sport but I have yet to see GSC win a single batrep online *anywhere*

Wow that hurt. The outcome was clear in round two :-/

GSC needs something different to bring something back as this was so tragic, something like a token point system or a set amount of bring backs as they feel so underpowered. Just felt like a rebellion with no reinforcements and a bit of a cleansing than a uprising

Who wins: an army with a fun codex and roster focusing around a vehicle detachment, or a very bad codex with mediocre units who now can’t kill vehicles anymore?

Nick scouted the metamorph truck with a biophagus, no bueno

aww Nick, I feel for ya buddy. GSC army rule is no army rule, and everything got hit with the curse of the B-team Codex

Have to love the fact that the GSC army rule simply will not apply in matches.

I’m not trying to be rude here, but that game was decided by the end of turn 1. Nick just didn’t have an answer to all the monsters that Tycho had, and his reinforcements never came. That said: the game ended closer than I thought. Huge props to Nick for putting up one hell of a fight, considering the hand he was dealt. I’m a space marines player, and I thought we core codex marines had it bad, but I feel for the GSC right now. They seem *really* anemic, and far too dependent on rolling high numbers to accomplish anything - but specifically what they need in order to stay in the fight/win their fights.

The “Nick! Make more robo calls!” Has me ROLLING. Tycho, you’re such gem. You are too, Nick. Love seeing you guys play together.

Man genestealers have a rough mechanic since it got nerfed. Their whole army is balanced around it and they made it unreliable in general so damn that sucks. I know people say they are a high skill cap army but they don’t do anything better than anyone else with that high skill so not sure why they don’t get some buffs.

This is what happens when you try to steal the pants from chaos

This was more entertaining than such a one way battle had any right to be. From Tycho's heart felt, "Aww sorry Nick" to Nick sportingly and slightly hysterically dealing with quite literally biblically bad dice. This episode is probably a mathamaticians dream. I recall Steve Box having a dice rolling nightmare with his Blood Angels during his inaugural match here, but I think Nick has just taken that title. Nick, my tip would be more shooty deep strike ambushes. Get those hand flamers roasting infantry. Goliaths might be a better way to get metamorphs and acolytes into melee too. Oh and there is no way you are ever going to be that unlucky with your reinforcement rolls again. 😊

I have yet to see GSC win a Battlerep on youtube! Big yikes!

Nick got all of Tzeentch's attention this game.

I'm just here for that outro music

2x5 Genestealers in a detachment meant for them. 😢

Rise, scaly brothers! As an aside, one army depends on making 4+'s on one dice. One army full of multi-wound models powers up every turn, with a chance of taking wounds failing a 7+ on 2D6. Math.

All the monsters of Hell versus... some dudes. They have a truck. And hammers.

Outro music must be what it's like to live in JT's head all the time :)

That’s the kinda game that would make me put the army on eBay afterwards. Gg lads especially nick for keeping a level head that would be so infuriating 😂

Nick said he isn’t quite where he needs to be for a high skill cap army but he just needed to not whiff basically every 50/50 roll

That land raider looks amazing!!! I mean they all do but especially that, so creepy. Reminds me of a Mimic

Nick's Turn 2 is what my last seven games of ninth edition were across the board. I haven't played 10th edition. It was that defeating and demoralizing. I haven't painted or put anything together either. lol

dear nick: your kelermorph is awesome, it gives off necromunda vibes and I really like that if you havent already, necromunda is an awesome setting that has some GSC in it, and even though you have to workshop your people to look like GSC in the games (like underhive wars) its still awesome to have them be apart of the setting at large. I hope you see this recommendation and appreciate it!

Nick AND Tycho? Oh the energy, oh the enthusiasm.... so much fun to watch!

This hurt to watch so much, especially cause i relate to it as a GSC player. Having dozens of units die off and then just not coming back is the worst feeling. Although I'm 100% feeling for nick, I do feel like there was a fault or two in his strategy. Firstly with the patriarch not having a full 10 man squad. Considering how squishy GS are, a 10 man squad will be reduced to a 5 man very quickly. But the other thing is not utilizing any of the, very good, enhancements that we got. Infiltrate on Abominant, plush one to damage and AP for the patriarch, both units become pretty strong. It does feel like the general army has suffered a lot in recent times, and I'm really hopping that the next update will see us buffed, at least a little in our detachments, and maybe, if we're lucky in the army rule too.

Seeing the lack of reserves makes me wonder if those Genestealers thought they had more support on their planet than they really did.

I feel like the Genestealer Blips should be guarunteed the first time a blippable unit is wiped out, then for the rest of the game it becomes a 2+, a 3+, and then a 4+ after the 4th time a unit is wiped out (this would be global, not per-unit, just kind of hard to write it down). I get the reason why it's random, but it feels too random for being a core part of the army.

Iron within iron without 😅

Iron withins!

21:49 "Huhh? Hmmm??" 😂 Dude I love Nick's vocalizations. He needs to do voicework for a video game.

It's very cute how they all pretended that there was still a game after round 2 xD Except Nick, with Copium he did keep it real though! Good for Nick!

15:50 sounds straigt out of Dawn of War! Tycho sounds just like an Iron Warrior should!!

Always love watching your battles. You guys have great production values, easy to see how much you guys love the game. I wonder how long it takes you to do on of these videos.

"Hey babe, how was your day at work?" "Eh."

10 minutes left and i feel for nick, we've all had games where the dice just do not cooperate and it's brutal.

The flip of the cards by Nick was perfect lol ... ive never felt so heartbroken for Nick lol

My two favourite players on the channel, love the battles that these two have!

Didn't Tycho become the Tween of chaos recently? Never forget everyone!

Apparently they really jumped the gun on the day of ascension, because nobody was coming to help Nick's boys.

My two favorite armies squaring up? Sign me up!!

Damn. How does one learn anything from a defeat that bad? Except humility of course

My headcanon for this match is that the Iron Warriors did Iron Warriors things. They had already "forcibly recruited" so many people as cannon fodder that the Genestealer uprising was just like thirty dudes and their work trucks. "Where is everyone else?" "We are everyone else."

Would love to see Space Wolves with their newly buffed detachment. This was a hilarious game, I’ve never seen such bad RNG for one person all game long, so glad it stayed friendly because that has to me stomach knot tying to feel that unlucky.

dude... nick roll a year of bad luck with those dice XD

Nick must of pissed off the star children to be rolling like this

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Tycho fail a Dark Pact.

"babe wake up nick is back in the tabletop studio" me asf: 🏃‍♂💨

Doesn’t look iron warriors , but it is a list for it for sure haha . Love his nurgle land raider

One of Nicks gunners is aiming like... IDK, like an anemic puppy nursing a wounded dewclaw.

Finally, some Iron Warrior love.

These are some word bearer-looking Iron warriors

Steve must have licked those dice....

Curse of the orange dice strikes again.

"ALL GUNS DEVASTATE!!!"

GW needs to let TYCHO voice a chaos space marine in one of their anime

Wow,poor GSC...damn...

tycho really likes his mechanised infantry, huh

The kelermorph gives me Cad Bane in 40k vibes.

Has Tycho ever lost a battle in recent years, damn his dice are on (hell)fire.

Like 90% of GSC games I’ve played myself or watched on YT lol. Basically we have all the tricks to score, so our dice just don’t bring back any lost units to make it more “balanced”. At least that’s the way it seems.

I wanna see Black Templars against Tycho. The most pious(probably spelling that wrong) against the child of chaos. The Emperor will protect

Need another tournament style knock out series on the channel! With our FAVOURITES! TYCHO. NICK. MR INITIATIVE. SPACE MARINE STEVE. MICHAEL. JT. TAK. MUBIN. ALL OUT WAR!!!

Oof, I feel Nick with those rolls.

I need to know where the iron warriors got those weapon shooting effects!

That was some atrocious rolling, but an incredible game!

nice, more iron warriors please.

A Tycho and Nick video! stop, please. I can only get so hyped.

Wow Nic. Just so unlucky. Took it like a champ though!

Yes, two of my favorite factions

This game was Khorne's plan to make Nick fall for Chaos all along.

FINALLY! IRON WARRIORS! LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!

I feel so bad for Nick!! That really sucks. Half way through the game Tycho seemed off. Is he ok?? His mood went from 10 to like a 5. Over all, amazing game PlayOn!!

Could you consider putting the card graphics under the title as it blocks the paint jobs

Ah yes Iron warriors known for their use of Possessed

that was so brutal to watch for nick >

Ayoo, Nick man. He cursed or something. I suggest taking him to a sear or something. Get this bad luck off him.

Metal BOXES? the cowards, the fools!

my head cannon here is that these cultists got the date mixed up so no one was ready to assist them.

I feel bad for both Tycho and Nick on this one... it's always rough to play against someone whose rules are already pretty bad and then their rolls suck. In a friendly game it makes you feel bad on either side of the table.

So, is there a battle report somewhere where the GSC actually win a game?

Don't worry Nick, everyone had game when dices just said no

Nick needs a couple of more generations before the uprising takes hold.

All hail the gods of chaos 🫡😈😈😈😈

Great as always 🎉

Tycho. this is 40k. Nick needs to make more SERVO calls.

Nick might have faired a bit better with Gene Stealer Guard as well
