Kill Team Challenger: Adeptus Custodes VS Astral Claws 

That would be awesome to do a "how to play kill team 2.0" when the rules are out.

Damn everybody and their battle brother wants to beat the hell out of the damned Astral Claws, not that I blame ‘em.

Oh lawd, they team killing!

Deployment zone is triangle shape, has 3 units, deploys each unit at each corner of the triangle. DONE! 😆

A much more reserved Nick than we are used to.

I love when previous games are referenced! Seriously that's my favourite thing about warhammer 40k, asking people what happened in their version of the grimdark future.

Renegade Primaris Astral Claws: *exists* Custodes: "I take offense to that."

Now before I watch this I have to guess at how many models are in a Custodes kill team. Gonna go, 3? Edit: haha, spot on!

This channel is the best quick Battle Report channel out there. Winters SEO has the perfect Theme/Lore/story buildup of every battle. Tabletop Tactics has the team comradely and previously the legendary BBONE But PlayOn has the excellent editing and simplification nailed down to focus on all the great moments and has side-interview style commentary that really tie it all together. The production level is almost unmatched.

I'm excited to see where this series goes with the new kill team rules that were announced. Steve, yoy should set up a how to play of the new kill team rules when they release!

Custodes have a 4+ invuln save in KillTeam just like in regular 40k. It also didn't matter much, but you roll dice equal to the dmg value of the attack that put you at 0 wounds. Dmg 2 weapon takes you to 0? Roll 2 dice and if any of those is a 4+ the model is out of action. Your opponent kept rolling only one dice.

Space Marine Steve, are we going to see "New" Kill Team when the 2nd edition drops??

The golden girls should have been making 4++ as it was an all custodes force

@Play On Tabletop Nick should have had 4++ invlun saves, the model has a 5++ but the custodes kill team ability emperors chosen ads 1 to invuln saves if all models have the adeptus custodes faction key word

So, I understand they're playing for fun, but custodes have a 4+ invul, you roll wound rolls equal to the damage of the weapon, the custodes could be specialists as it costs no points, and the custodes have free access to misericordias, for an extra, weaker melee attack.

Words can’t explain how much this upload has made my day better, so glad to be a fan! (Haven’t watched the vid yet good luck Steve!)

"Happiness is a bloody paragon blade." Custodes

Always the highest quality. I appreciate Steve's generosity too

Death Denied is 3 CP Custodes have a 4+ invul You can only use grenades with one model per phase You roll dice equal to the Damage that takes you out of action Lucky he didn't know the rules and made so many mistakes, otherwise it wasn't even close, advancing guys on the first turn was a mistake

Hyped! I am really enjoying this series, thanks for keeping it light and fun Steve!

HANDS DOWN Kill team challenger is the best show on the channel if not RU-vid........! Please give us more and more! Looking forward to kill team 2.0 and seeing you move it over to that.

I love Kill Team Challenger and I love Kill Team, in fact, Challenger is what got me started playing Kill Team (and I don't even play Bighammer). Always super happy when a new episode drops, and I'm really excited to see what you guys are gonna do with Kill Team 2.0! Much love, you guys are the best battle report channel ever

Steve, your Kill Team Challenger videos always make my week. I am so glad you are finally winning! MOAR! MOAR!!

IS THAT DEATHWATCH HIDDEN IN THERE?? Never thought I might see Steve play the least space-marine space marines

Year of Steve! Year of Steve! (until the new version hits at least)

Very nice match, as always. This is my favourite show on Play On Tabletop. Thisnis your year Steve! Just some points I want to clarify, because perhaps I got wrong the rules (won't point out the 2 CP Death Denied XD!): 1) I thought you could shoot just 1 grenade per phase and I think on turn 4 Steve shot 2 krak grenades with 2 different models; 2) I thought multidamage weapons do more injury rolls. E.g.: a weapon damage 3 rolls 3 dice for the injury roll and picks the highest (that's why multidamage weapons are so bad vs Necrons). Anyway, as always an amazing episode and hope you Sreve enjoys more playing with Chaos Space Marines!

I'm just happy to see a new player, regardless of who won! Always great to bring new players into the fold. :)

New Nick just droped Welcome Custodes Nick

Space Marine "Have Yourself a Great Game" Steve

I don't have anyone to play warhammer with but these videos just inspire me to play by myself, such high production

The krak grenades ahoy "crack the packaging and throw it" had me dying! Great video you guys! Music might be a touch loud at time. Steve is really a fantastic player and showman, great sportsmanship from both players!

I want a vote to allow Steve to have Citrus drinks for all is Kill Team match, as I think it is a factor in his morale rolls!

Is there a special rule, or why is Steve able to throw more than 1 grenade per round? (or did I got that wrong?)

I'm rooting for you Steve!

If there is one thing you can always count on, it is Space Marine Steve to roll a one.

Really liking the new format for these. Keep the awesome content coming guys!!!

With how many Steve videos I've watched lately the channel should be called Steve on Tabletop Edit: no complaints here I love Steve, long live the year of Steve

Loved this so much. Kill Team Challenger is definitely a highlight of my day. Steve is a beast... So good!!!

Did they update the rules on grenades? I thought you could only use one grenade per phase?

The golden boys will reign supreme! No quarter for the traitors!

Nick is as stoic as a Custodes guard, very in character.

I am fully invested in this Astral Claws plotline.

Don't specialists not cost anything extra in matched play killteam? The custodes player said he didn't have points to make them specialists.

Steeeevveeee... border opens on Aug 9th... CHALLENGE! ;) (cant wait to see how this series evolves with the new edition.)

WOW! Another awesome game, Steve! Fill up that bag.

Loving the upped production quality Steve! Keep it up!

Gambling with your fancy new pro painted models is BOLD Steve. Edit: Ah less bold than I thought

Holy cow, how were those custodes painted?! They are going to be my first army and I really love the paint job on them, that gold just seems so poppin and different.

I love the effort you put into these Kill team videos

I'm so happy the year of steve is continuing lol I remember saying last year "man he doesn't win very often" xD

Steve sounds so *smooth* in the intro this season. Really sets the mood

Nick's calmness is terrifying, he knows what he's doing lmao

Enjoyable game, loved your energy Steve. Nick, your imitation of a plank of wood was excellent but recommend trying some different methods next time. Perhaps emoting a tad more. As others have commented; y'all may have fudged some rules a bit. :D I only watch the game and know very little but even I was thinking "some of this seems off." Anyway, was still fun! Looking forward to more.

By the Emperor those Astral Claws are pretty. Also looking forward for when new killteam drops and we got the Death Korps against Ork Kommando's.

You enjoyed the voiceover soo much, Steve!!

Steve’s voice in the beginning reminds me of the voice from inter dimensional cable on Rick and morty.

Can't wait for the next episode!

Yeah more kill Team! Heart almost dropped when I thought Steve was risking those beautiful astral claws. FYI you had a a few of significant rules mistakes that impacted the outcome of the match. - When a multi-damage attack removes a models last would, the injury roll should be made using a number of dice equal to the attack’s damage characteristic and then take the highest (Core, page 32) - Grenade weapons can only be used once per phase regardless of the number of models equipped with them (Core, page 30). This applies to the Auxiliary Grenade Launcher on your Intercessor Gunner’s since it only adds range to Grenade attacks (Core, page 85; Annual, page 102) - Battle Forged Custodes Kill Teams get access to Emperor’s Chosen ability which improves their invulnerable saves by 1 to max of 3+ (Elites, Page 56)

Already getting hyped for Kill Team 2nd Edition. Haven't played any 40k since the end of 7th Edition, but getting the itch to return with some new Space Marines.

So good to see Steve win. Keep going no more defeats!

Go Steve! FOR THE TYRANT! (I have 5000 points of Primaris Astral Claws, I will always show support for those that honour the chapter!)

STEVE we need more kill team challenger!!!!

Come on Steve you can do it! I haven't watch yet but you are my favorite. I always root for the dark horse

Need more kill team games. This was awesome!

When KT 2.0 'll came out the series gona shift into the new rules?

"Those youtube comments were starting to hurt my soul." Ah, I see Steve has been reading my messages.

#yearofsteve Not even the Custodes can stop him

Awesome videos as always!

Another Nick!!!! How many Nicks are there!!!

Never want this series to end. Such great production value

I have a theoretical kill team that is just 3 death guard terminators. Anyway love seeing kill team!!!!!!

Love your terrain im an deathwatch kill team user

As an oil & gas worker I definitely need a pump jack in my terrain collection.

THE YEAR OF STEVE CONTINUES!!!

May the Year of Steve never end.

Get these guys back on the tabletop!

More kill team pls

Sooo no one is going to mention the incorrect injury rolls due to damage characteristics?

I hope they do more Kill Team stuff.

its becoming a sport i love it

Space Marine Steve, did you bring a friend that just started playing 40k to sign your bag? This game is a little sus to me

Kill team just seems like rolling dice at each other. I like the mobility tactics and strategy of the bigger 40K games. Always great production quality though

So, will get more? Really liked the format :)

This. was. so. Chill.

Year of Steve! On a hot streak 🤘🏻

Yay kill team

Who cares if astral claws can’t be primaris space marines! They look awesome!!

Congrats mighty Steve ! Nice game !

Incredible turn around in season 2, Steve might keep some marines this year

This really should've been a reshot. There were so many rule errors

You can’t use grande twice in the same phase… 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yahooooo... Congrats Steve!!!

I think we need more Steve bloopers at the end of videos

"We gave the Sniper a Grenade Launcher! What could go wrong?"

Excellent music selection… style is great

Now in KT2 that 4th Stodes would make that team slapp against this marine squad.

Wait wait wait wait... Haven't watched the video yet but what's this business that the Victor doesn't get the Astral claws that Steve loves and instead the golden boys? Bah! Put your army on the line Steve. Don't be scared! 😂

So many Nicks!

Astral Claws! Love it!!!

Nick lost as soon as he chose to deploy his units the way he did. What he shouldve done is push up with 2 custodians at one flank and force steve to commit his forces to one of his home objectives so the other custodian could pick off the weaker flank. The way he played it basically ensured that his custodians would always be outnumbered.
