I heard a theory that the Swarmlord has to die to upload its experience to the Hivemind due to how unique it is, and I've just had that as my headcannon since.
Holy crap what a game, Jordan's perfect secondary draws made this game an uphill battle for Taak, but the Dark Angels held the line and sent the hungry xeno horde screaming to their deaths. Taaaaak, you are still the man brother.
love it. bring this jordan fella more - you know its going to be good game when he premeasures and moves units into cover pockets. mubin should take lessons
@@kingkluff781 its unfortunate... his playstyle doesnt suit nids, and its even worse in tenth, because most of the roster is really, really weak. Like even with Jordan, he shouldnt have put the mawloc in shooting range so far up when it has no invuln save like that. I dont understand why games workshop killed the faction so hard.
28:21 every one of those Terminators roared "FOR THE LION!!!!" Aka "Lock The F in!" plus its every dark angels wet dream to fight a beast like The Lion on ancient Caliban!
Holy feck, that Land raider charge and that swarmlord being slapped for its impunity. What a game, Tak seems to be having a couple of good games despite his usual dire dice rolling. Way to go Tak!
I love this channel and their dedication, especially when it is a Chaos game. These people help me understand this extremely complex yet fun game, making me want to play myself
Isn't the gauntlet a challenge for newly arriving members in the studio? Point of which is to get to know each other and play with everyone? Just like how Mubin was?
@@RevanR It's harsh but I gotta agree, Tak's had a terrible run of this series, not just in die rolls (which in Game 1 was just abysmal, I could only feel sorry for the guy) but it definitely feels like he keeps over-extending in recent games.
Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Smokes Batman!!! WHAT WAS THAT?! That was INTENSE - I have never been so up and down watching an online battle report - this was nail biting stuff - I literally cheered out aloud at the end! Now my Children's Children's Children will sing NEW songs of praise for generations to come!!!!!!
I just love these videos formats and editing. As a ~7 year fan of the hobby, this channel's video formula has been my favorite for batreps and I am absolutely loving the lore campaign going on here. Would love to see more, like black templars + sisters versus a chaos incursion, etc. Please keep on keeping on!
What a game! Thank you PlayOn, your entire production is so enjoyable to watch. This narrative is awesome! Tak, I’m cheering for you regardless of your warp tainted rolls. Jordan your mastery of the Nids is so damn impressive. A team up of Mubin and Jordan would be epic for the finale with Tak and Steve batting both the Nids and their dark dice fate together.
probably one of the best reports, kept me on the edge till' the end. Reminded me of a White dwarf Battle report so many years ago... Coincidentally that also involved dark angels and tyranids
@@spencermartinez6052 That is one of the things that attracted me. They are ruthless and pragmatic. They do the dirty work and keep the forbidden secrets. They are like the Alpha Legion without the infiltration shenanigans.
Love seeing these narrative series! Would really love to see a full on Crusade Campaign from you guys, tracking all the level-ups and changes as the narrative advances.
I was rooting so hard for the Nidz! I had a game with my Nidz Vanguard vs Black Legion that went down to the wire. I needed to make a 12" charge with my Deathleaper in turn 5 and kill Abaddon off an objective to win... rolled the charge, double 6! Woo hoo I made a 12" charge, no CP left. I thought this is it I have it, game is mine! I think Abby was on 4 wounds... But I did 3 wounds and left him on 1 wound, he swung back and killed my Deathleaper, and I lost by a point. Anyhoo, great battle report, it was an edge of my seat one for me 😎
There will be Guard in the final battle, but probably not what you are expecting. We've learned a lot from producing this mini-series and hope that in the future when we get the chance to do it again, we can involve a lot more factions in the story.
Back when I used to play Tyranids, I thought Guard where a lot scarier then Space Marines. Then again, I don’t know if anyone around the shop actually knew what the meta was. 🤷♀️
This game shows how the DWK are one of the best melee units right now, and Dark Angels overall are very flexible army with great melee and ranged army lists.
At 11:20 how does that unit Pile In if it is taken out of Engagement Range? Even tho the unit charged, how can you select them to fight if they aren't in Engagement Range? 🤔
If you make a charge move you are allowed to activate in the Fight Phase, even if you are no longer in engagement, so long as you satisfy "making a successful charge" in the previous phase. As you are allowed to activate in the Fight Phase, because of making a successful charge, you can do all the actions allowable in that activation including a pile move. The pile move requires you to reach engagement with an enemy model. In this case, the pile move could pull in the enemy model and thus legal.
I'm just watching the dice completely rob these beautiful Tyranid models. Jordan was getting pounded by the ungodly saves How in the world did Deathleaper not kill Azrael that last round, he's got precision so that inner circle shouldn't have been getting in the way
I am so sorry we missed that Deathleaper has precision. Hard to play a perfect game of Warhammer 40k but still, we will endeavour to try and be as close to perfect as possible. Going to need to give Jordan another go in the future.
@@PlayOnTabletop No worries, I know how much work you all put into these. It can't be easy playing and filming for 6-10 hours while trying to remember all your unit's statistics and abilities. I'm loving this miniseries, the production is A+ as always
FINALLY!!! Finally Taks dice dont fight against him!!!! and of course its on the most INSANE CLUTCH OF ALL TIME! hate to say it Tak but maybe Dark Angels is your Legion over The White Scars
10/10 would watch “Azrael and friends” on Sunday morning with a bowl of Frosted Flakes
Sounds like a great morning to me
@@Runliftfight91 😆
That swarmlord dying was really lore accurate
Dante be fuming how ez it was
FFS
I heard a theory that the Swarmlord has to die to upload its experience to the Hivemind due to how unique it is, and I've just had that as my headcannon since.
Tak getting that double six made me so happy!!!😊
Spoiler alert!!
Yo, I gasped, couldn't believe it!
That was a great moment!
What an INSANE game! The saves were out of the world.
Love to see Tak when his dice cooperate. Great game to both players
Nice to see what happens when one persons dice don't completely betray while the other has to contend with normal rolling dice. Great game!
I swear to the golden throne tak you better not let any more emperor dammed bugs through this defensive line tak
I know it's just a game but it feels like the fate of this sector is weighing down on me. 😅
Knights of Caliban against The Beasts from the Void ! For The Lion !
FOR THE LION
For The Lion!
For the Lion!
For Caliban
Repent, For tomorrow you die
For the Lion
The back and forth casualties was awesome
A proper fight. This is Warhammer 40k!
It's full on rocket tag, everyone is made of glass and throwing cannonballs.
Holy crap what a game, Jordan's perfect secondary draws made this game an uphill battle for Taak, but the Dark Angels held the line and sent the hungry xeno horde screaming to their deaths. Taaaaak, you are still the man brother.
love it. bring this jordan fella more - you know its going to be good game when he premeasures and moves units into cover pockets. mubin should take lessons
He is a great player!
yeah... mubin isnt great
Why is the other tyranids player catching strays wtf lmao
@@kingkluff781 Cuz he is bad.

Im really loving the narrative mini series. I hope they continue to do them.
Jordan bringing the sweaty tournament strats to the channel stands out so much in his videos lmao
28:21 every one of those Terminators roared
"FOR THE LION!!!!"
Aka
"Lock The F in!"
plus its every dark angels wet dream to fight a beast like The Lion on ancient Caliban!
Probably the best of the Siren's Call serie.. It's always great to see neck to neck game. Great stuff guys!
Landraider getting revenge on those warriors had to feel great, such a violent sequence of combats haha
Holy feck, that Land raider charge and that swarmlord being slapped for its impunity. What a game, Tak seems to be having a couple of good games despite his usual dire dice rolling.
Way to go Tak!
AMAZING charge with the 'Raider, Tak! Outstanding!
I swear Steve touched those orange dice
I love this channel and their dedication, especially when it is a Chaos game. These people help me understand this extremely complex yet fun game, making me want to play myself
Those two Lictors were foodies and they had a falling out over which gastropub served the best biomass.
Jordan is one of the best players I've seen on this channel, and Tak came out like a BOSS. Wow. What an incredible match.
It was a heck of a scrap! Such a good game
Nice to see Tak redeem himself from the first episode. Awesome battle report!
GLORY FOR THE LION!!!!
Come on Tak! We need you to win to keep this interesting.
What a fight!
*So* looking forward to this one. Loving the series so far! Competitive play gets catered to enough; I'll take narrative over competitive anytime 😁
Amazing game I love anytime I get to see the Dark Angels on the board.
At least Tak isn’t using Lion as a buff piece again!
Jordan's ears tell me he will beat you up even if his army loses!
Tak! You are the man! Running DA with Unforgiven detachment! I love I watching your stuff! I also run Dark Angels and AdMech!
Jordan was great, bring him more! Gj Tak!
If Tak lose here, he need to be put on Gauntlet to with Admech Army
Isn't the gauntlet a challenge for newly arriving members in the studio? Point of which is to get to know each other and play with everyone? Just like how Mubin was?
@@bugmanzgaming9054 indeed it was, it just Tak has been out of shape lately

Great game!!! Another awesome display by Jordan.
What a game! Thank you PlayOn, your entire production is so enjoyable to watch. This narrative is awesome! Tak, I’m cheering for you regardless of your warp tainted rolls.
Jordan your mastery of the Nids is so damn impressive. A team up of Mubin and Jordan would be epic for the finale with Tak and Steve batting both the Nids and their dark dice fate together.
This series has been phenomenal, please please do more like this. ❤️
What an epic battle! This was awesome! Thank you PoT for sharing this incredible narative play with everyone!
Love this episode! Great job Tak!
Was just thinking the other day I'd love to see some dark angels. Also I feel this series is also about how much pain can we put Tak through.
Can’t believe how hot Tak rolled the dice that match, unbelievable
OMG what a match. So many amazing situations and fights to keep us on the edge of our seats. Not to mention those insane rolls on both sides
this was so awesome! was great seeing Tak get some good rolls finally lol. Great gameplay, love seeing the tactics get so complex.
Great match and the rolls and twists in the different turns was great. Excited for the finial mission.
probably one of the best reports, kept me on the edge till' the end.
Reminded me of a White dwarf Battle report so many years ago...
Coincidentally that also involved dark angels and tyranids
Others may fail but the 1st Legion will hold the line!
For the Lion brother
When you need the REAL dirty work done call the Dark Angels, they'll get it done.
@@spencermartinez6052 That is one of the things that attracted me. They are ruthless and pragmatic. They do the dirty work and keep the forbidden secrets. They are like the Alpha Legion without the infiltration shenanigans.
Love the Zerg scheme on the nids
Love seeing these narrative series! Would really love to see a full on Crusade Campaign from you guys, tracking all the level-ups and changes as the narrative advances.
Great video! Love to watch this channel because of the tight editing. Keep up the great work!
Love to imagine the death leader take out the inner circle just for Azreal to get back up and cleave of his head an limbs with his power sword
Quality! Looking forward to finals!! Unleash the Red Terror and Old One Eye!!
This was a great game.
I really thought the Nyds were going to take it today, but then those saves! Well done to both players.
episodes are so much better when the lists are balanced great game, watched every second
The back and forth was so good!
The power of the swarm will consume this sector
For the Lion and the Emperor! Glory to the first.
Jordan with so many 1s
Can’t wait for the final part! I hope series like these continue to happen
Every time a tank shock happens, I always imagine "La Cucaracha" plays out in honks
Fairplay i think thats the best ive seen Tak play
I love that even when playing against Tyranids, the Dark Angels' battleshock buffs don't come into play at all. 😂
Absolutely incredible game. Loving the series
Been enjoying this narrative bash
Love watching Tak play!!
Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time close games are the best thank you guys for the awesome game🎉
That was a fantastic fight to watch!
Great to see Dark Angels do well. Definitely in part to the dice,but good to see them shine.
FOR THE LION!! Well played!
awesome game really close i am surprised azrael survived being in the thick of it constantly
He shouldn’t have survived. Lots of tyranids had precision attacks but Jordan forgot to use them. Ah well, this stuff happens even to the top players.
As a tyranids player it is so nice to see the redemption arc this series is for us, disregarding this video's result
I was rooting so hard for the Nidz!
I had a game with my Nidz Vanguard vs Black Legion that went down to the wire. I needed to make a 12" charge with my Deathleaper in turn 5 and kill Abaddon off an objective to win... rolled the charge, double 6! Woo hoo I made a 12" charge, no CP left.

Anyhoo, great battle report, it was an edge of my seat one for me 😎
What a game!!! I'm really looking forward to the last game! That is going to epic!
These videos are so cool. I love the narrative battles
That Redeemer charge. And even call it. Holy smokes ^^
Looking forward to this one dropping!
Tak pulling super plays out here, he got that tyrant like nothing damn
LET THE CONSUMMING START
wow what a game!! Well played both players!!
"Any final words?"
"I'm hungry."
LEGENDARY
I came to root for the Angels, but I am suddenly on the side of the xenos scum.
We can all relate to "I'm hungry"
@PlayOnTabletop You don't understand. He was challenged while playing Tyranids and said, "I'm hungry."
Bro this game was nuts
the hivemind hungers
the hivemind devours!
LOVE this series!!!
Come on Tak, you’ve got this 🔥🔥
YOOOOOOOO!!! It’s Jordan from cEDH TV!! So cool to see you!!!!
I REEEEALLY really hope there’s gonna be some Imperial Guard vs Tyranids eventually, because if its mostly Space Marines vs Nids, thats a bummer.
There will be Guard in the final battle, but probably not what you are expecting. We've learned a lot from producing this mini-series and hope that in the future when we get the chance to do it again, we can involve a lot more factions in the story.

Dark angels and Tyrranids going at it is a great combo (I hope to pick up DA and my brother wants Tyrranids)
FINALLY!!!
Finally Taks dice dont fight against him!!!!
and of course its on the most INSANE CLUTCH OF ALL TIME!
hate to say it Tak but maybe Dark Angels is your Legion over The White Scars
My boys came through!!! FOR THE LION
what an ending. i love games that are close.
I like that colour scheme for the tyranids.
I LOVE the new mace designs for the DWK, they look fantastic compared to the old ones (which I also liked too).
What a story these dice told
