Leagues of Votann vs Adeptus Custodes -  

Once they get Nick to play Necrons he becomes... RobotNick

Great game and great video as usually from the team at Play On! We had an absolute blast being on the show. We can’t wait to do it again sometime…PLAY ON!!

Rolling bad against a bad matchup is a miserable experience. Props for the attitude!

Man, I really love those custodes painted in white. They look super clean and pure. I think its much more appealing than their standard straight gold.

The fact that both land-fortresses didn't go down all game, and the toughness of the Votaan in general, made the game hard for the Custodes

That’s a rough matchup, the Dwarves just love elite armies. Great game though

No, when nick is playing them, They're not Votan; They are Demiurg. That still counts as Tau.

Got to give credit to Nick, being able to play so many different armies is quite impressive. I can barely learn and play 2 different armies

I guess Nick did end up playing someone he got into the hobby. And right after he played the guy who brought him into the hobby. Wonder if they planned that?

I feel like Votan are the natural counter to Custodes cause the custodes have so few units that the entire army ends up with double judgment tokens easily

As a custodian player, it’s honestly hard to play when you’re outnumbered but that’s how it is. We hit hard and kill damn well in melee but man, you never wanna take first turn imo.

Nick showing off some OG Nerd cred with that old school Dwarven warcry near the end. Baruk Khazad, Khazad Ai-Menu!

Beautiful paint job on those Custodes!

What i love the most about these games is the fact you dont take meta lists. Your not afraid to try something different. Nick and that Votann were awesome and really have me thinking about bringing a 3rd warrior unit when i normally ony use 2. Also no sagitaur either and that is a staple in most kin armies. Well done all!

Great video! Love the Northern Knights Gaming guys this is awesome you both came together! 🎉

Awesome games and awesome content, love the work guys, it's been amazing to see the channel grow from the start and all the amazing stories you guys have told, PLAY ON!!! 🤘

Anthony is a great opponent but his custodes list made me wince. Trajan on saggitarum and four bikes are a waste of the army’s potential. But a good game regardless.

that white is beautifully painted and it was so awesome to watch both my favorite channels play against each other thank you both play on tabletop and northernknightsgaming !

Great sportsmanship and a great game! Congrats and thanks to both players for an entertaining match

Awesome match! NKG and Play on , Pog! Both armies are beautiful painted and table looks sweet

Nick and Anthony are great together this was a very fun watch thanks!

T’ahl Nick lol great video guys I love the intro shots….and the armies are gorgeous. Two great channels head to head, I need more of this

Love these guy's vibes together. A great game, lighthearted and fun.

ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE

WHY CANT NICK ROLE THAT WELL WITH GAURD??!!?!!

Fantastic game Nick and Anthony!

Amazing game, love Northern Knights Gaming! Check them out!! I think the real start of this 40k in 40m has to be Mr. Tycho himself. Absolutely incredible voiceover, really made the game come alive. So much fun!

He uses 300 points of terminators to screen his own deployment zone lol. If only Custodes had a cheap, 40 point unit that could be used to do that job instead!

We all love JT but major props to Tycho, he does a fantastic job!

You fear to go into those mines. The Dwarves dug too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dûm Custodes pop out with big smiles 😁

love love love this matchup and gorgeous paintjob. More NKG!

NKG is amazing! So happy to see them playing with you guys

Hey this is amazing! Great seeing NKG on 40K in 40.

I just started Votann and this was such a nice vid to have pop up to see em

My two main armies !!! I love them so much honestly ;-).

Love to see the dwarves playing. I need finish painting my votann

Those Custodes looks amazing, great paint job

Those terminators are one of my fave models. Amazing paint jobs everywhere

Amazing game, I was waiting to see Votann on the channel!!

Well yeah Nick has a little bit of everything. There's only like eight units in the Votann product line. Hard to have a full list WITHOUT a little bit of everything 😂

I legit said 'god damn' when Nick one shot that Bike with the rail gun haha

"Votann have rail guns, Tau have rail guns, how hard could this be!?" Hahaha you guys are always cracking me. Another great video and battle!

bought my first Hearthkyn warriors 3 hours ago, super exited

What an awesome matchup!!

Love seeing Votann on the channel - 4 JT2 targets REALLY hurts elite armies like Custodes

As soon as I hear Tycho narrating I'm happy. Even if the game itself is boring, Tycho makes it fun.

Great game as always, Would LOVE to see you guys do a legions imperalis battle report!

This was one of my favorite battle reports every (because I play the Squats) and also because every turn I thought a different person would win the game! Thank you Play on and Northern Knights.

Very nice video! Finally enjoyable content, thumbs up keep goin

Awesome game ! Anthony reminds me a bit of Frodo . Awesome play from both players !

I seriously hope that when the Leagues of Votann codex drops that it comes with several new models and not just a new character. Votann is still half an army and needs more unit options. That being said they are still a very cool and flavorful army

What you do after destroying a unit in melee is called a "Consolidation Move" and not "Pile in" (Pile in is done after charging) but you can only do that if the unit is in range of an objetice marker.

YAY! Another battle i didn't know i needed

40in40 battlereports are always fun to watch! I just bought a custodes army, and I'm still waiting for them to arrive, but even I know better than this 😅 I have literally no experience with custodes, but it seems like people tend to build 8th edition lists, which is almost exactly opposite a 10th meta list. Bikes, saggitarum, axes, contemptor dreads, etc. If he at least had a caladius, or maybe even a telemon, he could have had at least some kind of ranged threat/bait. Going 2nd as custodes is amazing because you can reserve your allarus at the end of your opponents turn and redeploy on yours. Even having just one sword and board in the guard unit just for the wounds. I totally get not caring about meta and having a fun list, but even that could have been done differently. Throw an Assassin in there, maybe a named inquisitor on the saggitarum. Throw Aleya on some sword sisters, stick trajan with wardens. Anything would have been better than this list, unfortunately.

That white and gold color scheme is magnificent.

When he comes back, he should bring his Genestealer Cult and play against Nick with his(!) Genestealer Cult. That would be interesting.🤩

Amazing looking custodes

Nick is the goat no matter what army he plays!

The votann always remind of the dwarves from deeprock , if I played I would be nonstop chanting ROCK AND STONE

That was an amazing match. It's the first time i have seen the Custodes lose. Go Space Dwarves.

Happy to see those jolly dwarves finally have some decent games

My god he’s bringing bikes and sagituram he doesn’t stand a chance. I love both those units but they are straight do do

So shortnick when Votann faction. Awesome and i think nick is already flexible player because he knows the how to play it and he know each faction weakness. Now we need space marine nick to fight spacemarine steve.

Two of my favorite factions.

splendid W for the ancestors, Nicholas

Great game, very much fun :D Go, squats

Perfect match mr. Frodo!

great match guys

the mental image of a custode getting kneecapped by a hammer-wielding exosuited dwarf makes me real happy.

Rough game but nice to see two less common armies on the channel

I think Nick missed an opportunity here, because the dark dwarf from the later books in the Narnia series was named nikkibrick!

Nick! Hearthguard have Grenades Launchers too!

This was a rough game to watch. The votann are extremely strong right now, and the custodes are really weak. This custodes list wasn’t even anywhere near optimized. No heavy armor support, and poor choice in units.

We want more dwarves! Nick was great with them!

Just FYI Nick, the unit of Sagitarum that killed the Brôkhyr Iron-Master and his Hearthkyn Warriors was supposed to get 2 judgement tokens. 1 for the Warriors and 1 for the Iron-Master. :) Great game guys!

Did the termies lose the Balistus launchers? Blast weapons shooting blob units would help

Nick! You need to start a Necron army, so you can then be called RobotNick!!!

It appears I was right during the premier, Votann storms the board and just blasts the Custodes. Both played well, congratulations on your victory, Nick. Also, how tall is Nick?

Anthony looks like a fluffy Frodo

Anthony's ( The Custodes player) dice let him down hard this game. He had several series of bad dice that led to the Custodes doing far less output than they should have. I feel like he positioned them well and made strong plays, but in the end, really got let down.

No disrespect to nick he’s a legend in the community and a great guy but where’s JT? I got into votann because of him. Just thought he’d be the dwarf player.

Nick, if you keep picking up more armies, who are you going to play in the next end-of-season tournament???

rough game, but i saw a bunch of misplays (imo anyway) on the custodes side, like not using the defensive katah stance after being charged and the blade champ doing precision instead of trying to murder the squad. i do love sagitarrum with trajann, tho :D

my two armies squaring off, before I even start, I don't know how I feel about this.

Love me Custodes… hate me some Leagues of Brokan 😂

Trajann with sag guard is a weird combo. If I was gonna character up them with anyone it would be valerian for the extra shot and rerolls to abuse mortals

Custodes forever!!!

Anthony looks like he stepped out of Bob's Burgers.

I know the Custodes are dangerous, but I keep hearing them as custodians. Shiney janitors.

I think a game with Saint Nick (sisters) is in order for this coming holiday season

For the Ancestors!!

can anyone explain why at 37:10 his hearthkyn saves were 3s? i thought they had 4+ saves

I love this channel but it would be really nice to see some grey knights movement shenanigans

woaaa ce hobit a grossi lol ...

Dont know too much about the Votann, but where did the 6 judgement tokens in the first round come from? 2 characters werent even on the field then.

If you guys do a t’au vs custodes I just want to tell you ITS NOT FUCKING CANNON

Therapist: Short Nick is not real, he cannot hurt you nor your golden Demigods Short Nick: …

Still can’t believe that the terminators have a higher toughness than the jet bikes. What the heck was GW thinking there?

ANTHONY THAT'S MY BOOOOOOOOOY

I need advice. I’ve been reading up on some lore to help select my first ever army. I’m looking to make a purchase soon. Would it be beneficial for me to play kill team first as this is my first ever table top game. Where do I start?
