It caused me damn near physical pain to FINALLY see my favorite army on the screen, the person playing them be an absolute genius in utilizing them...and then see every critical moment fail due to poor dice rolling. Feels like a microcosm of the situation Tyranids have faced for a while now. I hope we see more bugs in the future; if this is the only time we see them it would be a huge disservice. Still, as always: great format, production value, commentating, painted armies, and players.

Against any SM you cant afford to put a foot wrong whereas SM and all their overlapping re-rolls (which compensate for bad dice) just need to turn up and not do anything silly. It really is ezy-mode hence why I have no respect for people who play them.

@xplaguefatherx 4 года назад

Agreed with the knife to a gun fight. It feels as though the Ultramarines might as well not bother rolling the dice most of the time. Just point and click. It's annoying to watch quite often, feel frustrated for the nids player. That and the primaris fluff is garbage, literally ruined space marines

@therattleinthebook397 4 года назад

Regardless of outcome, I predict the UM player to win. Very simply, Nids struggle terribly in this match up, UM love Aggressors which tear apart basically all Nid units in overwatch and out, and they have ways to Greater Good their overwatch. The Nid players main compensation is Exocrines which are very adept at tearing through Aggressors, unfortunately their range is lower than SM anti tank, because of this, the exocrine may die before it can fulfill it's use, leading to a time to demise where the Tyranid player has to just stay on his side of the board while the SM player does the same until the Exocrines drop. This matchup takes some doing.

@TheTexasDice 4 года назад

Aggressors hate Hive Guard though. That unit was missing and it shows.

@therattleinthebook397 4 года назад

@@TheTexasDice Aggressors also really hate Hive Guard, taking around 4 Casulties per volley with 2 volleys per shooting due to total minded annihilation. Those aren't rookie numbers, that's an insane number of points to go down the drain. However, UM vehicles like Whirlwinds tear through Hive Guard.

I said it and I'll say it again, the outstanding video production and commentary for these battle reports are ridiculously incredible. The end credits with the close-up shots of the models is a very nice touch I might add. And finally the players you guys bring on the spotlight makes for a great game and sets examples of good sportsmanship no matter which side you're on. I'll be honest, I know a few players, including myself lol, who'd be a little more than salty with those rolls. Definitely a few pointers of not just tabletop tactics that I'll be keeping in mind. Keep up the great work as always guys and stay safe! (Also 40K in 40min is just so much better)

Ultramarines really do have so many tricks to deploy for every situation. For Tak, he set the terms of the battle by placing that first objective where Alex could no longer hide in his back field and holding back and not being "ultra" aggressive, only shooting what needed to be shot and not over extending his forces. We feature the Space Marines in our "How To" video and maybe it is a good army to begin with for people interested in getting into the game.

@@PlayOnTabletop The Nid player just played really poorly, for example if he had done the stealers attacks first the round they reached melee before anything els he would have been so much better off. Also you never set up on the back of the board vs Ultramarine armies, they will just push up shoot you to death and then fallback and fire, the last thing you want vs Ultramarines is to give them room to fall back. I know you said he was ''good'' but he is American and sadly the USA has a very low standard of competitive play. Both the army lists were far from meta tho so I really enjoyed seeing units that you don't normally get to watch. It was a very one sided match, genestealker cult have a rough time vs a good ultra player on any day but it's a shame this was not abit closer because Taks army was much weaker than it could have been for the points.

We will just need to ask Alex back on the channel.

@takkawana8380 4 года назад

As his opponent so did I. Alex is a Champion. The only other time I played him was a grand tournament and he won by a narrow 29-28 and it was my favourite game that weekend. He won the tournament and I came in second. This time, I had some back up plans and was focused on not making any mistakes (which I still did) and wanted both of us to be at our best so I could test what I learned from our last battle. Dice did what dice did.

@andrascottier595 4 года назад

@@takkawana8380 Out of curiosity, what do you think your mistakes were? I usually get rekt by melee armies as a gunline, so a pro's advice is always interesting. I play AdMech, if you've got any faction-specific ideas.

@PlayOnTabletop 4 года назад

This and the 2nd Battle Report was a doozy of an edit. We had the success of Season One to improve on and we went through comments to see where we could make changes. After countless hours of refining we got something we are quite happy with.

@CrovanBlaze 4 года назад

It's very good. My only feedback would be some of the cuts around dice rolling are a little abrupt, but it's really quick-fire stuff, so transitions would be pretty tricky.

@ManoredRed 10 месяцев назад

I don't know much about the Warhammer 40k tabletop in specific, but this match made the Tyranids seem fairly outclassed. Alex had to sacrifice several units and a bunch of CP just to get his strong units close enough to attack Tak's key units, and a few bad rolls were enough to ruin his strategy, and his strong units proceeded to get vaporized on the counter-fire. Meanwhile Tak felt like he had the intrinsic advantage from the very beginning, and all he had to do was hold his ground and get decent rolls so his one million guns could tear the Tyranids to pieces.

However, at the end I think I understood the rudimentary parts. Fun to watch and both players came across as very cool guys.

@ultimentra 4 года назад

I'm really like the deployment zone overview and the firing effects on the top-down view. It does a great job of demonstrating what is shooting at what. I wonder if something similar to could implemented for close combat? Like an animation of sorts? Excellent work. I feel like after a poor turn 2 the game was basically decided. Perhaps when making battle reports like this the players should take lists that are more balanced? For example, the ultramarine player took units that are specifically good against tyranids and GSC. I feel like subbing out the aggressors, calgar, and the repulsor for less optimized choices would have made for a better game overrall.

@PlayOnTabletop 4 года назад

The lists got reviewed by the team and we placed some restrictions as we do want close and thrilling games, so we hear you. For instance, for Ultramarines we did not allow anything that could shoot out of line of sight or slow down the Tyranids like a Thunderfire Cannon that can half their movement. Tak's lists often utilize Thunderfire cannons, whirlwinds, and a Leviathan Dreadnought instead of the Redemptor. Turn 2 could have gone the other way as Alex created an opportunity for himself as the Bikes could have removed the Repulsor and the Trygon should have outright killed the Redemptor. Dice to what dice do.
