Warhammer 40k Apocalypse T'au Empire versus Astra Militarum 600 Power Level 

I can't believe how well made this is. You've made 4 grown men playing with plastic crack look top tier. Great stuff!

I couldnt keep a straight face if my models took the amount of abuse Nick's Tau have recieved in this game... Nick is a true gentleman and an example of sportmanship

Tau Commander, saddened - "A Pyrrhic Victory" Guard Commander, smirking - "First time?"

nick has made every person Tau follower

That War-Hound titan cast is the same cast Robin Williams had in his collection of 40k miniatures

So great to see an Apocalypse battle report that concisely explains the basics of the game while remaining very entertaining and narrative at the same time!

watching Nick play Tau almost gets me into the mood to start a tau collection myself:D

That intro voice over is absolutely amazing, props to the voice actor

Great game! Apocalypse game was what I first saw that got me into 40k, so the massive battle aspect has always been a draw for me even though I have never had the pleasure to play in one. My heard skipped a beat at that model falling, glad to hear it wasnt too damaged! Another great game and video as always!

Guardsmen: hey we actually shootdown the Orca! Why is it getting bigger? The Orca airpilot: fuck you Gue’vesa! For the greater good!

Tycho is technically on a winning streak now, right?

Wasn't that Orca a scenery piece at one point lols?

The Orca is so beautiful!

Tau Nick makes me want to plat Tau, and I don't even play 40k.

Great video! Thank you for sharing it with us!

"Did the tau design that with a block of Styrofoam?" Says the guard player?

How can two guard players be so based?

@playontabletop Out of curiosity how long did this battle take?

This was awesome

"Fire the lazguns at that transport ship anyway! Maybe we can blind the pilot!" - an imperial sergeant (probably)

Guardsman: “Commissar! We’re running out of tanks!” Commissar: “Would you like to correct yourself Guardsman!?” Guardsman: “Sorry sir. We have tanks for days.” Commissar: “Tanks for days. FOR THE EMPEROR!”

1:02:11 ABSOLUTELY LEGENDARY Imagine, with shells exploding all around them, the Fireblade gives the order, and the Fire Warriors charge; ducking, stumbling as they run towards the bunker, throwing an explosive charge onto the enemy objective, braving the hellfire of Leman Russ's, Wyverns, and even the focus of a Titan! The Fireblade falls, but they make it into the bunker, knowing that they may not survive, but they have an objective. The surviving Shas'ui gives the order, and the demo expert throws a satchel of explosives onto the objective. The Fire Warriors, barely surviving the harrowing firepower, look to the Shas'ui, and he gives a nod to the demo expert. The Fire Warrior nods back, arms the explosive, and triggers it. Triumphantly they gaze upon the exploding enemy emplacement, knowing that if they die, it was for the Greater Good.

99% of our forces are lost Undeniable Victory and a great success

IG tactics in a nutshell: "You see that army over there?" "Yes, sir." "I don't want to see it." "Understood, sir."

That must be a terrible feeling to knock over someone else's models

Oh man he knocked over the giant mech in the first game it was ever played after all the work to get it camera ready............ My soul :(

Love to see the fun both sides are having. Too many "friendly" battle reports go angry and sullen when one side pulls ahead. Great to watch, please do more apocalypse games.

Yes! Apocalypse! I love how the latest version (that I've seen) let's EVERYONE have at least one round of blasting!

Hello, future travellers. Here is a spoiler free summary of this game "It doesn't matter if you win by an inch, or a mile. Winning, is winning." - Vin Deisel

After watching models taking so much damage from reaching over things and throw dice on them, might want to invest on some dice boxes.

LMAO "you see that army" "Yes sir" "I don't want to see it anymore"

"The thing about hover tanks is you can't crush anything underneath them" There is a particularly flat Iron Warrior that may want to have a few words about that statement...

I'm just hoping for tons of destructive explosions

What hurt more than anything was seeing all the accidental slapping around of the T’au units...😢

Apocalypse Returns! Get comfy though. The run time is 1 Hour and 12 mins! Can't wait? Consider supporting us. Patrons get early access: www.patreon.com/playontabletop

"It doesn't explode!" " . . . " Me: WHAT?! I was 201% sure there would be a card for that.

Is there a better way to start the weekend, painting miniatures and then this notification, tabletop titans has returned, oh yessss....

Can everyone just stop using Nick’s amazing models as slingshots... please...?! 😂 so many heart stopping moments that weren’t about dice rolls 😅

Had a lot of fun with you guys, you made my day! Was hoping for the brave Imp. Guards to seize the day, but was an insane fight. The Greater Good achieved an honourable victory.

Dudes!! its the homie Findlay!!! He brought some of his Guard into the shop last week to show off, but holy smokes that's a lot of em!! This stand up guy has done so much for the community and various charities, I'm glad to see him in action. Fantastic show as always ladz!

That image. One guardsman, knowing they're loosing the battle, under fire from a massive Tau mech, surrounded by dead and dieing companions, slowly taking aim with his rifle and nailing the pilot of the Orca. Thus causing the pilot to charge the doomed vessel into the ruins in a final apocalyptic charge. Just the coolest shit ever, what a game.

The Scottish accent immediately makes the IG seem a lot more credible.

21:32 I felt physical pain 😬😭

T’au Nick’s enthusiasm is so infectious. It’s so cool to see a T’au supremacy in action for once. Beautiful army. This is the funniest and friendliest match I’ve ever watched.

That Tigershark should have been blasted into oblivion in turn 1. That shit cost the guard the game.

"We normally salute you, but yours re Tau" Hah! True imperial citizen right there

It must be a little annoying in the flow of the game, but when Nick takes a sentence or two to describe the stakes of the current moment, it really helps us as viewers. Great job as always. The production value and fun were off the charts. The Tredheads were highly entertaining and I'd love to see them come back! Always great to see some old school 40k guys mixing it up.

6:11 wait a skitarii commanding a tank, nice touch!

Love the energy of both teams! It's great to see a group not taking themselves too seriously and just having lots of fun!

When IG is your favorite faction, but Nick & Tycho are your favorite people: Whoever wins I’m satisfied. EDIT: BOY am I satisfied!

Hey lads! I saw in the thumbnail that it said “Apocalypse 2020” does this mean that this’ll be an anual thing on the channel?!

I absolutely love your videos. I've been trying to learn how to play and get into the hobby, but mostly every other video I've watched is done with people speeding through turns while holding a shaky camera in one hand and rolling dice in the other. Your videos have made it much more enjoyable to learn and watch. Everything is so clear, all the different camera angles clearly showing the turns, great effects, clear communications and explanation by the players. THANK YOU!

Wow, what a show! Love the enthusiasm from the players, rule explanation and insightful analysis as the game goes on, gorgeous models and table, and sweet editing. Really appreciate your work @Play On Tabletop team!

Every time Nick brings his T'au there is something bigger on the table... When do we see a Manta?

21:31 my toes curled and bum hole clenched at this. God what an awful heart sinking feeling, to knock over your own centre piece and break it. Never mind someone else's. I would be offering money to buy a new one hahahaha

Seeing that old titan model made me laugh cuss I know thats very old and its og look but it looks like something I would find in the toy ile at like goodwill

Did anyone notice the axe in the first interview with the astra militarum guys? 😅😂

For the greater good!!!!

I cant believe I'm cheering for the tau over the guard, but nick is so god damn nice. Damn you nick

16:40 that "im sorry" was adorable

Cant crush anything under hover tanks, last famous words shortly before the pilot turns the anti grav off right above the person saying that.

I really hope for Apocalypse with chaos

Great vid guys. loved the game. Genuinely had to pause the video in stock when the Ta'unar got knocked off the table!

Why is that Tau Titan not on a bace of some kind? Those feet do not look like they would be nearly as stable as you would want them to be...

17:29 “You somewhat redeemed yourself!” 👀 *”I didn’t“*

that moment 21:30 when that big tau titan gets knocked off the table is both horrifying (to someone who is aware of just how much it costs) and joyous (to someone who plays imperium)

Woah the guardsmen look like bits from Victoria's Miniatures

Out of all the minis on the table, it just HAD to be the one that was $650 that got knocked off, huh?

Apocalypse games look awesome, but lets all take a minute to remember epic 40k...

ngl I laughed my guts out when I say that titan

Who else saw the Skitarii ranger commanding that Leman Russ at 6:12?

This entire fight is just a big “ok boomer” billboard and I love it.

I put this on as background inspiration for hobby....ended up doing hardly any hobby. This was an amazing and entertaining Apoc game!

Who disliked this vid it hasn’t even started yet y?

I don’t wanna be that guy but if you guys do another Apoc game, you should just have a no holds barred battle between all the armies you guys have. Both titans from the previous game, the hierophants, the Astraeus’, might of the Astra Militarum, etc. A true Apocalypse to take the world!

Please do more Apocalypse!! These are great!!

Somehow the Vikinghammer goes really well with the Hoofmaster. You guys should team up more often!

Will Play on Titantop also include Smolpocalypse battles in the future?

The Orca crash/charge was one of the greatest things I've seen in years. Nothing encapsulates the grim horror of the future as much as the futile carnage of this one corner of this barely consequential corner of the battlefield. Not just a great little bit of spiteful gameplay, but a wonderful narrative moment.

'Commander, we've got a problem. Big old supremecy armour has tripped over'

Just wonder about how many points are those giant tau mechs worth?

can i just say how much i love these videos? Especially the commentator explaining me why and what's going since i don't play the game, i'm more of a lore guy.

Having a Tau'nar without a base was just asking to be knocked over. Glad its OK though!

I Love the Fact That The astra Militarum Players have Dressed Themselves up in an Military Uniform Just By Imagining it Looks Like They are Those Persons on High Command that is Guiding Their Forces in the Battlefield... Ave Imperator! For the Imperium! For The Throne! For The Emperor!

The special effects of explosions and laser and plasma beams were pretty cool, actually

How is every episode my new favourite episode. Absolutley loved the back and forth banter throughout the game. Get em' next time guard!

I do not regret listening to this at 2am

Wonder which Tau player will be in it?

At the beginning of video - "Yes! This should be a fun shooting match, lots of big booms!" By the middle of video - "These guys need new dice."

Love the Scottish guard hahaha!! (Scottish person)

-10 Points for not finishing painting your walls.

No the drinking game is take a shot every time you knock something over

I've been waiting for a new T'au game and my wish has been granted. FOR THE GREATER GOOD!

When the tau titan defeated the imperial furry titan:"the greater good has been achieved"

Is arrogance and being obnoxious a prerequisite for owning a Imperium/Space Marine army?

The thing with hover tanks....is that you cant crush anything under them. Pffftttt hahahaha

Note @ start of saving phases Titanic units must make saves first. If they go boom they pass a lot of large blast markers out to other units!

I have no idea how to play apocalypse but this is amazing and I loved watching this game and it was fun

Seeing all of those models being knocked over and off of the table, each one hurt to watch.

Yes!!!!! For the greater good!!!! I love Tau Nick, and I love play on! Great Game! Great show from the Treadheads! And as always Nick's enthusiasm glee and cheerfulness made it all better! Absolutly Fantastic!
