Haven’t played 40K since 5th edition, but have always kept an eye on things from afar still, occasionally find myself watching battle reports etc again from time to time, and i must say you guys are the best i’ve come across so far, the videos are so engaging & having these relatively quick battle’s are great to watch, also the effort & quality of the editing etc is incredible, keep up the good work guys!
@@PlayOnTabletop well i can tell you it shows! If i can sneak in a little request for a new Aeldari game sometime soon (they were still Eldar when i played last 😂) it’d be appreciated! as i said before though, keep up the great work guys 👍🏻
40in40 is great but I also recommend checking out WintersSEO. His battle reports are more personal but fun, funny and really feels like you're in the room hanging out. Plus they have a bit more info than 40in40 as they can walk through the thought process a bit more. I love that dude
Honestly I do feel like the biggest thing is that he couldn't push up on time, had he gone more forward T1, I feel the game would've been very different. Though I do admit he might've lost more stuff in that case.
For sure. He is one of my faves on this channel. Also, while going through the tough decision on which army to build, Michael's playing the Necrons on this channel is what made me finally commit to them over the Tyranids and order my first set!
all guys are about winning at all costs here. ever entertained the fact that this is for entertainment? full c'tan list for example wouldnt be fun to watch, this however was very interesting to me.
Nick took out the Wraiths early and really stuffed his chances of taking out all of the tanks. It was too many vehicles vs too much infantry but he still only lost by 10 points. I think had Mike swapped some units of Warriors for something focused on taking out vehicles he would have won.
Absolutely love when you folks post a new game, you keep the game interesting, fun and enjoyable to watch. You're one of the few battle report channels I regularly watch because of it.
Don't forget - REGIMENT units have lethal hits against everything that isn't a monster or vehicle! So some of that lasgun fire should have been pushing wounds through.
@@michaelbuckthorp977 awesome, looking forward to seeing it 😎 I’m pretty new to 40k and play on tabletop and especially your games have been a huge inspiration, I started collecting necrons thanks to them. 🫡
@ they are really cool, I totally recommend their earlier 10th ed videos with Michael playing with the Annihikation legion, but they don’t really have content about canoptek court, awakened dynasty and obeisance phalanx.
Love this game! The gameplay, the players, the commentary, the filming and the video editing are all turned up to 11. I was going to work through lunch but couldn't bear to look away from the action :)
I just started getting into warhammer, I haven’t built an army yet but I’m leaning towards the necrons, The first thing I bought was the ultimate starter set The first necron piece I got was the silent king
I loved this one boys. Felt super cinematic when the warriors surged up the middle into those thumping cannons to be met by a suicidal counter charge from the guard that somehow worked!?! Glorious stuff and super close
I love your battle reports guys, they have been one of the best battle report channels I have ever known and thanks to you I even managed (although at a cost) to get my first minis of this wonderful game that are precisely Necrons with whom I am waiting
Man, when the Necron meta is all C'tan shards and monsters this was a really refreshing and fun match to watch. Yeah it wasn't a hyper optimized list but it was fun to watch. Felt like I was watching actual armies collide rather than the C''tan shards discovering the power of friendship and wiping the board like it's the last episode of a bad anime.
At 15:25, did they forget to roll for "Death befitting an officer"? The narration didn't really specify, but if he actually rolled a 1 and didn't fire on death that's 100% on-brand for nick lol
I don't play the 40k tabletop (tried learning a bit like two decades ago, just love the lore, some of the video games and really wanna try the TTRPGs) but I've watched enough of this channel to have learned enough of the game to be very impressed by the luck of those 12 3+ rolls. Love your stuff!
@@stripeybag6977 Everyone except Cadian Sergeant Steel. He's one of the most modest guard players ive seen. Doesnt like going mech heavy so he either loses by landslide or wins a pyrrhic victory. Although all-infantry guard is very strong. But he usually tries to role play Cadian lore army a little too much, so it doesn't translate well on the board. Good guy, just wish he actually took a few more pages out of Mordian's army lists.
I vote for Watson 2.0 as a name for the Canoptek Doomstalker ^^ . It would be pretty cool to see a game with full horse Guard, just as many horses as possible: "I have seen war in all its forms. I have seen feral world savages braining each other with stones, and I have monitored the death of a whole planet at the hands of a virus bomb. I have seen Space Marines drop to certain death, and win. I have seen Titans crush whole platoons underfoot. But there is no more stirring sight in war than the charge of massed cavalry." - Dravin Gratz, 14th Tharinga Regiment
Yo. I just wanted to say I appreciate all the effort you all put into your content. It's obvious how passionate you are, and it shows through in the quality of your videos. Thanks. Hugs for the hug god.
Thank you guys for these uploads. I've been desperately wanting to get back into the hobby but have been unable to due to extreme financial difficulties. These videos allow me to at least get some of the experience of war gaming without having to play.
I like watching nick play, I don't get to play games much at all (nobody in my town plays) it feels like he gives an explanation as to his tactics and moves clearly so I can un more about the game
Great Battle guys, the neurons were too slow. Some redeployment shinanagins may have been very useful. A monolith may have compromised the neuron game plan but the veil of darkness and or a nightscythe may have helped or maybe blast the earthshakers with a Doomscythe... The earthquake cannons were battle winners. Credit to Michael for committing fully to the necron legions but Nick picked the perfect counter. Combined arms beats specialist one trick ponies.
Awesome Video! I always love the way astra militarum looks on the tabletop. So humble, yet so imposing. An episode that I would like to see would be Tau vs Imperial Knights. Little mechs vs Big mechs
I randomly rolled D66 on the Magnificent Title table for the Doomstalker and it was "the Merciless" And a Bequethed Name D66 of "Amhut" so it is now Amhut the Merciless!
Great Video and battle! Glory for the Emperor! Question, I have been watching your AoS Spearhead series and i have only dabbled in 40k but you guys got me curious about AoS. Any chance you would do full AoS battles instead of just spearhead? Obviously not to fully replace Spearhead videos but every once in awhile just so those of us who have no AoS experience can start to see what its all about. ALSO best quote of this video was "...almost annoying as units coming back each turn.." lol gold
I love 40k in 40m man, makes me so happy when they post
This series has been my intro into the table game. They do so well with it.
It’s become something I look forward to daily
especially when the militarum is on ! I get chills man literal chills
They're great to listen to while you sleep it's something odd but enjoyable listening to people love what they do and enjoying life
@@normdahdoul6363You speak Truth
The Kriegsmen casually pulling off ultra instinct 😂
And he’s very pissed off he has
Somebody should animate a krieger ultra instinct dodging a bunch of necron guns
Play on Tabletop’s ability to make these battles fun, interesting, and suspenseful is unmatched to any other 40k channel I've seen.
"100 Necron infantry on the table today."
Calling it one minute into the video. Necrons lose.
"Those Earthshakers are a problem, and I have no way of getting to them"
Yeah. Guard tank lines are brutal.
Yeah it is basically a solid Guard army against absolutely awful Necron one
Unfortunately GW made warriors pricy and useless at the same time
@@niccolo6865 It's such nonsense. Literally two days ago I was telling a guy how garbage they are. 40in40 has funny timing!
Me: “how did Necrons lose to guard?“
Michael: “i have brought 80 necron warriors!”
Me: “oh. Thats why”
Yeah because a real Necron list has less than 14 models, that's not a joke btw someone almost won a GT this way

That final score was very nice.
The Kriegsman and their shovels really pulled through on the saves.
As someone who has played steel tide i can say Michael you did your best. It really comes down to RNG with warriors dealing with tanks.
We need more necrons ❤ thanks for the upload guys! Michael pls bring more canoptek court, awakened dynasty, and obeisance phalanx too.

that was a real good game
Give me more Michael, love that man and his crons
Nick with a stellar perfoRmance❤
those saves Plus ULTRA!!!

*sees its against necrons*
Oooooof this is either going to be a great game or a quick one.
Holy hell the number of 1s Nick rolled for his lascannon attacks was insane. 😂🎉
Wow,a crazy game! Some incredible rolls!
