Space Marines vs Tau Empire - A 10th Edition Warhammer 40k Battle Report 

Cant wait until Brian fields an all Kroot Army

This is a super fun and tactical game. Really enjoy the discussion back and forth about positioning, strategem usage, and order of activation for units. Doc Mel, looking forward to seeing your Wolves on the channel this Saturday!

I miss the old Titan betraps. Was clean an fun. S9 good to have Brian again to see. 😊

Love the throw back of this game, really nice to see Brian back for a bit like the old days!

Darkstrider can only join Pathfinders.

Its so good to see you tow togwthee again. So hyped to watch yall play old world.

Great game and great to see Brian again!!

The Objective control discussion at the 2:32ish mark should have looked at the Intercessors ability, it keeps control of an objective until the start orend of a TURN. So Brian would have still held it since Sticky would have stayed.

Loved the game! For the Greater Good of AI kind. It's great to have Brian behind the table. Well played, gents!

Mentioning conventions, I had some great matches at PAX Unplugged. If you're in the north east US at all, it's a great tabletop gaming convention overall, and the minis area has every game you could imagine, and not so overwhelmed that you feel intimidated especially as a more casual player.

Great game, guys! Thank you 🙌🏻

Every time crisis suits are good, they have to snatch them away. Makes me want to build nothing but suit lists and Aun'Va and kroot to screen.

Dev cents in reserve litterally defeats the point of taking them with ventris in the first place *face palm*

Great game and lovely to see Brian OG again

Brian! Awesome! How did I miss this! :)

darkstriker This model can be attached to the following unit: ■ Pathfinder Team

Excellent battle report. Do you think its worth dropping thr burst riptide and making some tweaks to afford upping the crisis team with the coldstar to 6 models ?

great game to watch

Adrian I lov ya buddy but please work out what drones you are taking with your T'au units. It was a common theme throughout the battle report. It was still so enjoyable seeing you and OG Brian playing again but uber frustrating with forgetting the drones. P.s Riptides all have 2 missile drones which could of made a difference on a number of occasions. 4 shots hitting on 4s if guilded s7 -2ap 2dam. Dude!!! 😅

Love all ur games

Does Brian use the “Grundy Maneuver”? edit: guess i should be asking if Adrian does

Hello Mel ❤I’m trying to get back to watching. Every step forward there’s two back in the healing.

I love adrian brian and bridger. I dont care.about anyone else on the show apart from one man. Anime John. He is a lovely entertaing and nice soul and il miss watchong him ❤

Thanks!

Where can I find those beautiful tau models!?

The army of Kathy :D

RE commenting on Brian's question on how people who didn't grow up with old world feel about it, it doesn't have much of the charm or appeal that 40k has for me. The extremely sparse terrain on boards, older looking models, and gameplay loop dont hit the same spot for me that 40k does. I never realized how important terrain was in setting the story for each game until I watched a few old world batreps where there was maybe 1 or 2 pieces of terrain on an otherwise extremely open, empty board. Feels like without the terrain, tabletop games lose some of their charm that got me into the hobby.

Vanguard Space Marines was an excellent match-up versus Tau. It’s interesting that despite Vanguard Spearhead’s -1 to Hit beyond 12”, only the shorter range units like the Aggressors and Bladeguards were left standing (except the Redemptor). I have a Vanguard SM list, which I had to modify because of the recent points changes; I had to drop a second squad of Inceptors and trade-up to a single Phobos Captain from two Phobo-LTs. My Vanguard list has a Repulsor Executioner instead of a Redemptor for the extra firepower, wounds, and transport capacity, and I keep it further back to stay out of 12”. I also take Company Heroes instead of Bladeguards for Uriel Ventriss’ squad. I don’t bother with Eradicators because my Repulsor-Exec has the Heavy Laser Destroyer, and I try something different by taking 2 Suppressors squads. Most SM players don’t appreciate Suppressors but they work well in Vanguard Spearhead because they inflict another -1 to Hit on the units they suppress. This is highly effective against a shooting army like Tau. Even against melee armies that counteract Vanguard, Suppressors’ ranged damage and suppression can blunt the impact of charges. Combined with a Phobos-LT’s Strategic Dispersal ability or Execute and Redeploy on a Phobos Captain, the Infiltrator squads can be extremely difficult to charge. That leaves the Centurions and Aggressors to bear the brunt of the enemy’s assault. IF the Apothecary Biologis could HEAL or revive models, it would be far more useful at supporting Calgar’s squad. Unfortunately, GW inexplicably nerfed Space Marines’ Apothecaries in 10e - I don’t understand why! 😡🤬

Aggressor brick doing nothing in a corner when they should be bullying mid board

This channel was at it's peak with just Brian and Adrian only doing bat reps

So, he asked what our thoughts about Old World is, so here’s mine. From what I’ve seen, the game plays well. It looks fun. I sort of hate how the old models look. This is just my opinion, but compared to AoS, the models just look childish, for the most part. There are exceptions of course, but overall I’m meh. I do love the lore of the old world too. I just wish they updated the models to have the same vibe of the old world, but had the detail of AoS.

Do not like those Tau models

and once again they play list which are illegal. Darkstrider can't join a breacher unit... I told myself well maybe they play correctly by the rules now. took 3 minutes in the video to stop watching it and go somewhere else..
