that table is just incredible. the amount of work put into the exploded, destroyed and collapsed buildings and catwalks is wonderful. all the tiny detail of rubble and exposed pieces to make it look authentic and not just like old brokeass scenery you had left over really brings it all together. you guys put together some of the best looking tables by far.
Phenomenal battle, fantastic scenario, beautiful board, stunning armies. Really quite shocked at the result, did not see it going that way tbh. Brilliantly executed battle plan. Thank you gents
YES! Love Striking Scorpion Apoc games. What an absolutely gorgeous table set-up and a classic match-up as well. Would like to see the elimination of command re-rolls in future Apoc games, aside from saving time and reinforcing a narrative story the dice tell, it seems cheesy to keep rerolling 3 or 4 times to get a desired result for a single weapon in my humble opinion. Thanks for sharing as always.
This channel, more than any other, continues to give me hope that we’ll continue to see firstborn marines on the field even after GW has completed their untimely transition to Legends. Well done guys, keep it up!
Marry Christmas to you all… + a BIG thank you to all my RUclips Subscribers and other social media followers and fans, & of course my fellow comrades in arms that are supporting me via Patreon: www.patreon.com/JBWargamer87 THANK YOU AGAIN. And happy Wargaming. 😊
I think this might be the most cinematic fight you have published since I have started watching the channel. You couldn't script a better scene than the Primarch charging from the shadows to engage the Swarmlord after it dispatched the bikers. Great stuff!!
Thank you for your great Videos each and every year. Your channel is standing out from all of the others who are chasing meta and doing competitive. I love to watch your videos for units that are cool but are not playing often. And your terrain is incredible too!. Please stay as you are! Merry Christmas!
You brothers playing eachother is so entertaining haha- both of you epic in your own right but the dichotomy of your appeal faced off against one another is just gold
Absolutely incredible report! The terrain was fantastic, the explosion in the centre, with the rubble, broken walkways and the swarm of nids just oozing from the centre just completely encapsulated my imagination. Both armies were just sublime as always and the 13th won the day 🤩. Absolutely loved it 😍 you guys do absolutely stellar work in your reports and I can’t wait to see the Ultramarines in action 👍 COURAGE AND HONOUR and a very Merry Christmas to yourselves and your families. Keep up the great work guys 👍
What can one say?! That was an absolute fabulous Battle Report, you’ve really out done yourselves!! Beautiful constructed board/scenery, outstanding scenario (fluffy as hell !) & brotherly banta 😁 Well done James too ! Will we see a little more often apocalypse BR? That’d be brilliant
L: "You're calling upon help from the Tau, that's not Codex Astartes!" J: "I steal glory from the Tau..." I love hearing Luke and James personify these battles. Glory!
Another incredible end of year apocalypse! The labour of love you put into the armies, the table and the theme is just outstanding. Loved the Tyranid eruption in this one! Keep being amazing! 🧙🏻♂
Truly epic! Happy I got the chance to represent the firstborn. I think my chaplain has learned it isn’t wise to duel with a flying hive tyrant though, haha. Oh well, ONLY IN DEATH DOES DUTY END!
this game is epic as someone who is returning to 40k after many years I love watching your videos I have learnt a lot about the new 9th edition rules great channel started a tau army and after watching your channel it had got me to start a imperial fists army too keep up the great content guys and hope you have a great new year 👌🏻
Might be cool to do a Devastation of Baal scenario with Blood Angels and Ultramarines as a reliving forces that come in on second turn as would be normal for reinforcements
That Ultramarines movement turn two was epic, I imagine Guilliman arriving and shouting out orders, “VETS, SEAL THE BREACH”…… “VINDICATOR, MOVE UP AND HOLD THE LINE”……”MARNEUS, WITH ME, WE CUT THE HEAD OFF THE SNAKE’.
Beautifully done. Just some questions as I watch. At 1.04.58, you declared and rolled a failed tyrannid charge, the genestealers vs the vanguard where the bridge distance was measured, you rolled a 10 needing 11+. Surely you should have faced Overwatch of some kind for the failed charge?
Since overwatch is a strat now, normally he would have only been able to overwatch 1 time per charge phase but since they're doing multiple use same strats he could have. He may have just forgotten or simply didn't want to overwatch, but he didn't declare it and it's not automatic.
Amazing Battlreport. Glory to the noble XIIIth! Its allways the greatest treat to see a full battle company + support on the field. Such a treat for the eye
So looking forward to this. I feel like the overwatch should be able to go on the stealers instead of the brood lord when he charged (i know the rules say otherwise but i think it is fluffy that the hive mind would throw bodies infront of the brood lord to protect it!
I think the nids were hampered by the 6 to recycle across the board. I'd have gone with something like a 4 for the gaunts & rippers, 5 for the more elite units like genestealers & Lictors and then 6 for the monsters.
That’s got to be the best bat rep I have ever seen! I reckon do it again but have the tyranids come back on 5+ and maybe let them advance auto 6 on turn 1 just to get them in quickly they really didn’t stand a chance
Question: Why don't you use the Octarius rules? Kind of playing with a handicap right now, since the Ultramarines have a full 9th edition codex and you don't.
Tyranids overview : yeah yeah big bugs that bug this bug Space marines : thematic lore and enthusiasm with every specific single detail on what colour boots they're wearing... I think that could have been done better 🤣 Also don't apologize for banter. It's good to have fun!
Great stand-off! Pure pleasure. Ultramarines did the job as always. Tactical genius revealed itself once again: show your weakness, lure the enemy in the trap and decimate it without a pity or remorse. Actually 'nids had no single chance. Big G is not some Guard's general with rusty Leman Russes. If a bug can chew a manticore or chimera doesn't mean it can oppose the master of the war art. Where others see heroic deads Ultramarines have just work that must and can be done. Do it and move over.
Absolutely stunning table and a fantastic game, good to see the boys in blue get the W for once. When those reinforcements turned up it was all over...

I don't know why, but there's just something about Tyranid v. Space Marine games that is so great. I'm excited Space Marine 2 is using this formula!
Cause there is no controversy. Everyone can get behind alien monsters vs transhuman heros.

Absolutely spoiling us with the bug stomping recently, really looking forward to watching this whilst doing my chores
LOL I wish we could have seen James' shenanigans if you had the camera up a bit lmao. Great game and very fun to watch. Love your style guys.
I think this might be the most cinematic fight you have published since I have started watching the channel. You couldn't script a better scene than the Primarch charging from the shadows to engage the Swarmlord after it dispatched the bikers. Great stuff!!
Here.....we......go. Looking forward to this one...and two great grudge armies

Thanks a lot and Merry Christmas to you too!:)
The audio fading between cuts I see it still going strong with this channel

Well done James too !
Will we see a little more often apocalypse BR? That’d be brilliant
Well we hope to make more:)
This battle is beautiful, is GLORIOUS, and is like a moving diorama!!! Supernice!!!
Don't know if it was a pre-agreed thing but Guilliman can't have 2 Warlord traits, named characters wargear and WLT's can't be altered
What a great looking board! Love the 3d-ness with the buildings and platforms and walkways! Awesome stuff
_"We know no fear. For we are death incarnate!"_ -Ultramarines Primarch, Roboute Guilliman.
apothecary provides feel no pains for the frontlines, or are the marines out of range?
It would have to be a chief apothecary
L: "You're calling upon help from the Tau, that's not Codex Astartes!"
J: "I steal glory from the Tau..."
I love hearing Luke and James personify these battles. Glory!
A much anticipated battle... let the slaughter begin!!
In a game this scale something like a deathstorm drop pod actually becomes useful, so much squishy infantry to shoot... would be beautiful.
Another incredible end of year apocalypse! The labour of love you put into the armies, the table and the theme is just outstanding. Loved the Tyranid eruption in this one! Keep being amazing! 🧙🏻♂
I am a simple man I see a classic match up I like.
Christmas has come early, delivered via drop-pod.
Lol🤣
Truly epic! Happy I got the chance to represent the firstborn. I think my chaplain has learned it isn’t wise to duel with a flying hive tyrant though, haha. Oh well, ONLY IN DEATH DOES DUTY END!

1:32:44
That’s probably my favorite Tyranifex death noise I have ever heard
Great battles report look forward to these all year
Currently watching this whilst painting Thousand Sons, always enjoy the apocalypse battles
My, all that preparation for just two turns of actions.
Awesome Apoc game. Love the music as well gents.👍
It’s extra attacks per lightning claw not per pair so they all should have had an extra attack
Oh wow I forgot about that… thank you for pointing that out 😎👍
Guiliman and the Primaris may have come in for the purge, but this victory well and truly belongs to the First born Vets!
Love the table setup and this is always the best armies for apocalypse. I’d love to see tyranids vs orks apocalypse game for the octarius war.
James certainly gets very animated lmao 🤣 😂 😆
Great battle ...loads of fun. Happy Holidays Gents!
Love these narrative games! Table is always beautifully done and mission thematic. Great job!
This came in perfect time after the Space Marine 2 trailer. I needed to see some Ultramarines vs Tyranids.
Might be cool to do a Devastation of Baal scenario with Blood Angels and Ultramarines as a reliving forces that come in on second turn as would be normal for reinforcements
Great Game guys, shame i was out of town last week I would have come to see you 😢 see you in the new year 👍
Fantastic terrain as always!
Thank you, great immersive battle report. Your boards/scenery, narrative and armies make these so enjoyable
That Ultramarines movement turn two was epic, I imagine Guilliman arriving and shouting out orders, “VETS, SEAL THE BREACH”…… “VINDICATOR, MOVE UP AND HOLD THE LINE”……”MARNEUS, WITH ME, WE CUT THE HEAD OFF THE SNAKE’.
Amazing battlefield!!!
Glorious battle!!!
Want more 😎😁
I only 'liked' the vid because there no 'love' option 😁 amazing as always!!!
Amazing table, armies and report once again. Love the work and these apoc games are just a cherry on top. Cheers
Yes I've been looking forward to this! Probably seen the previous one at least 4 times hehe.
Enjoyed the description of the Ultramarines 2nd Company 💪
Perfect timing as I am stuck at home with covid lol

That was one of the most epic and cinematic battles. I hope see something like this in space marine 2. I hope grandpa smurf shows up in the game
I always love the effort that you put into the narrative of your Apocalypse games
Would love to see how tyranids do as the defender in apoc
Brilliant work
WOW! What impressive armies !!
(Saint) Thomas Moore as chaplin lol, paint is looking excellent chaps and the table is genius too
Brilliant stuff guys as always, wonderful table and narrative!

Amazing to watch.
Awesome table too
Awesome game. As always love the banter between you guys :)
Great work guys! Thoroughly enjoyed your game.
Question: Why don't you use the Octarius rules? Kind of playing with a handicap right now, since the Ultramarines have a full 9th edition codex and you don't.
Merry Xmas to both of you Barker boys and to everyone else around the world who gets my message!!!
Once again, your tabletop terrain and scenarios are without equal 👍
enjoyed the battle but the shaky cam made me feel nauseas. I think an investment into a few fixed cams would be great.
Man! You have the best tables dude! Love it ❤️
Thanks fellas this shit rocks!
Awesome models and great game and commentary
I love watching you two play together.
What happened to the league finals ?
Update video coming about that:)
@@StrikingScorpion82 kk… thanks
Incredible game, brilliant table, well done!
*Inhales*
COURAGE AND HONORRRRRRRRRR
WE MAAAAAARCH FOR McCRAGGE
I'm getting some serious StarShip Trooper vibes here, and I like it.
Great game, glorious !!!
in need the audio of this chant !!!! FOR THE EMPEROR
Tyranids overview : yeah yeah big bugs that bug this bug
Space marines : thematic lore and enthusiasm with every specific single detail on what colour boots they're wearing...
I think that could have been done better 🤣
Also don't apologize for banter. It's good to have fun!
Best board I have ever seen by far
Tau players do love combat cards I cheese a certain warlord bonus for insane shooting
That table is illing. Love it.
What kind of blue are your ultramarines painted in?
What game store do you guys play at?
The ultramarine player is an absolute beast THE GLORY!
This game made me feel man has a chance to survive 40k... XD
Great stand-off! Pure pleasure. Ultramarines did the job as always. Tactical genius revealed itself once again: show your weakness, lure the enemy in the trap and decimate it without a pity or remorse.
Actually 'nids had no single chance. Big G is not some Guard's general with rusty Leman Russes. If a bug can chew a manticore or chimera doesn't mean it can oppose the master of the war art. Where others see heroic deads Ultramarines have just work that must and can be done. Do it and move over.

I knew I shouldn't have read the comments lol
@@thomasgross8289 oh bro, so sorry!
Even though I'm a Tyranid fan, I always love to see a victory for the boys in blue!
How come you're not using the new octarius book for the Tyranids?
YEAH BOI 😃😃😃
Ahh, excellent zealous chanting.
I really got to put this Ultramarine victory in writing. FOR THE EMPEROR!!! LONG LIVE THE IMPERIUM!!!!!
20 minutes in and still introducing smurfs. Lol. ;-)
He takes his time lol🙂😅
great game
