The Beach is ours! T'au vs Blood Angels 40k Battle. 

Holy crap Nick wasnt kidding when he said "repainting", they look Amazing!

Beach? Here’s the obligatory: “even in death, I still surf”

"Why can't I enjoy this mai tai in peace?" - Actual quote from Shasso Kickasso

Whenever JT talked about "Deploy Homers", my mind kept visualizing a bunch of Homer Simpson clones in power armor popping out of a drop pod to secure an area. 😅

*Nick's split-fire head cinematic:* *PEW! PEW! PEW! from the right-hand mounted gun. BA-BOOM!* *PEW! PEW! PEW! from the left-hand mounted gun. BA-BA-BOOM!* *PEW! PEW! PEW! from the shoulder mounted gun. BIG-BADDA-BOOM!* *Carnage everywhere as enemies lie in smoldering, twisted hunks of slagged metal all around him with his Crisis Suit completing a graceful but deadly pirouette of death, finishing on one knee, other leg splayed out, head bowed, guns pointing in all directions, striking a pose, smoke billowing all around, silhouetted against an orange fireball backdrop !!!* ============================================================================================= *Nick's split-fire in reality:* *Nothing dies.* *On to next round.*

What a match! So happy as always to sponsor Play on Tabletop! Hope people like all the love for the T'au in this new kickstarter campaign.

Steve’s dice rolls were insane

T'au Nick has been getting back to back close victories, I swear. First the White Scars and now the Blood Angels.

I honestly feel like this tropical board is my favorite battlefield you guys have.

Am I the only one that noticed on 27:50 Pathfinders rail raifles wound on 6 which is devastating wounds? that would turn this game around much earlier...

Hammerheads whiffing every single opportunity is such a vibe

GO TAU NICK GO

Damn... that last single point of difference could be the same one Nick made in the very first battle round, when he scored 3 points for secondaries to Steve's 2s!

"It's pretty hairy in there. That's Tau's point!" "BLUIES DON'T SURF!" -Captain Kilgore of the Blood Angels 9th Company

"The greater good never rest until the universe achieve harmony" -ToaNick- TauNick Dude that paint job is well done, as if Nick painting an army of Macross' Skull squadron

Oh hey the commander I painted for nick! Guess I'm rooting for the tau today!

Nick should do an updated army showcase

The pose and effect on the Y'Vahra are great, nice movement and impact.

27:49 Railrifles have Dev wounds so those 2 6's should of been Auto 3 damage each

This is a small thing but I really like the BGM choice for these videos - really adds to the coolness vibes to these games 😎

i just love nick. i get angry at games maybe a bit too easily, but the way he encourages you to do well and his excitement. its all so infectious

Nick you missed some Dev wounds at 27:50!

Picture an idyllic beach: Me an da boyz: Dday Intensifies!

God those deadly print studios effects on your models just look so good. This channel has the best painted armies in 40K.

Absolutely love these battle reports! I always watch them while building some of my guard. Keep up the amazing work lads!

I’ve never played actual war hammer before and I have no idea what they are saying and I still love it

Guys you are amazing! so jolly! and the strategic swings back and forth! Thank you :)

I have been dreaming of making a tropical beach table like this for years. Yours is a lovely inspiration! Very awesome!

I don’t why but something about nick makes me feeling like right before he goes to bed he says one nice thing about everyone he knows then kisses all his t’au

Heads-up, pathfinder rail rifles have devastating wounds - so the 6’s to wound should’ve stripped away terminator saves entirely!

Holy fff-- I had no hope but you did it by ONE point. Well played Nick, what a awesome (and very close one! You guys know how to play on my emotions) game!

27:50 NICK!!! That was 2 Dev wounds!!! NIIIICK!!! That would have iced two terminators!!!!! NNIIIIICCCKKKKK!!!!!!!

Man the dubsteppy base line in the background is so fire

Ayyyy just rewatched the last time Tau and Blood Angels faced off on this channel! Talk about good timing lmao

Well done Nick, those Tau look incredible

That was a sick batrep!! But damn the music was slappin' this episodes!!!

Ah yes, my first two armies duking it out in glorious combat!! Keep it up Play On :)

Holy Cow Guys! One of the most amazing battle reports I've seen in a very long time! I'm super glad the channel is doing well and really impressed with the quality of content! Makes me really proud to have been a Level Up! supporter Lol...

Wow the tau empire models paint job looks fantastic!

Ohhhhh my how close was that? Literally the last available move too! Brilliant

Great match. Both players gave it everything they could. Result wasnt certain until the end. That's some peak warhammer right there.

It's so good to see Steve with his energy back. I hope you are doing well!

What a great close game! Love when it comes down to the wire

amazing, love the format

I love seeing games like this. Nail biting endings are the best.

Love the special effects on the minis

STEEEEEVE, I SEE YOU!!!!!!! The guy with the hammer made it through that skirmish! Brutal, bro.

Great game you two. I loved that it came down to a snipe on the Librarian at the end of the game.

Just bought a great flyer stand from deadlyprint for my.Ravenwing Dark Talon thanks for pointing me in their direction.

I would love to see those kitbashed surfer orks in this battle

Nothing like watching a beach theme battle on a hot summer day by the beach. ⛱

Man, that was one close game. Also, awesome paint job, Nick. They look awesome!

This was so incredibly engrossing!

Really love seeing the "Classic" Marine vehicles in the list. Looks like a great mix of old and new in this BA list. Love you guy's production values.

Ahh the beach episode Amazing.

For the greater good This was an epic fight. Genius.

Love nicks new paint job!

I loved that final round. What a show.

Ooh the 2 armies I collect in 1 video! Can't wait to watch this :D

Man this was awesome so freaking close!!! Cant wait to see the next game. Killing it guys

this editing............................................................................ superb

Sounds good, are we going to maybe see Space Marine Steve on the Blood Angels and Tau Nick piloting the Tau? Excited for this one! 😁 Edit: Woo! Great to see Nick and Steve for this game!

WOW, what a game! I'm loving Steve's play these days. Nick is always a delight, of course.

Awesome game. Thanks for making these.

Hey there quick rules commentary. the guiding unit has to shoot after the guided unit, doesn't matter a huge amount but some player can be very picky about this

I’ve still never seen Steve win a single game, but this one was the closest.

Nick’s enthusiasm with the ups AND the downs of the game is the whole reason I plan on getting into the hobby side of this game

Take a drink every time Steve says "feels good".

Steve’s blood angels are crusty :p compared to his new paint jobs . Can see a clear improvement in his painting journey ❤❤❤

Steve needs to put the lottery on cause those saving throws were epic!

Two armies that got massive love from GW recently. Love to see a rematch down the line with the buffed BA detachment vs New Kroot

Reports like this is why I am interested in the Tau. Nick, his enthusiasm, and the design of those fantastically painted Tau!

So Close!! Way to go Space Marine Steve!! You’re awesome!

That battlefield is so cool!

that table is SOOOO cool.

That was an amazing game! WOW! Great game Nick and Steve!

That table looks amazing!

Once more, Steve gets no beaches

watching this game all i can think of is with the Furioso is the line from the DOW 2 opening cinematic dreadnaught "I've come to destroy you".

Awesome video!

I like the paint job Nick 🤘🏻

Those Terminators putting in some lore accurate work, goddamn!

By the emperor that was a really tight game! Always a blast watching 40k games. Looking forward to more MCP games though. Those were fun to watch as well.

what a casual and relaxing game!

Loving the videos, guys. Just started watching the channel, and LOVING these 40 min videos. My one problem is that I love IW, so looked for some on the channel, but got suggested a Fists video :(

Steve's dedication to running a 5th ed BA army list full of Principia marines warms the cockles of my astartesian hearts.

That Tau army looks a lot more impressive at the start: the size of the models and the amount of BIG guns!

I built a Blood Angels list with the Ironstorm Spearhead attachment and I'm glad to see it get played in a similar way. Instead of using those tanks I used Dreadnoughts + the tank shot stratagem which prove to be very effective.

Nick's army looks so awesome, I strive to have a tau army as cool as that. he's the whole reason i got into warhammer, might even steal the paint schemes 👀

Queens of the Stone Age esque tunes are awesome. Love it.

Hippity Hoppity, blood angles steal t’au property🔥

what a close game, love it when it is this close

Awsome episode ❤

BLOOD ANGELS!!! Thank you! Great match! So close. Great game.. The furioso did some good work. So great!

For the greater GOOD! and plus 10VP for the Max-Power Line Hat sir

Steve’s dice were loaded! My god that was crazy

I love the though that the T'au were just casually chilling on a beach and the Blood Angels felt like that was an affront to the Emperor

Great board. I would love to see this replayed with the latest Data Slate!

What a comeback!!

Nick! Just something you may not have noticed; Pathfinders base save is now 4+
