Clarifications and Things to Note: Space Marines' detachment is the Gladius Strike Force and with that the "Tactical Doctrine" allows fall back and shoot and charge, and the "Devastator Doctrine" allows advance and shoot. There is a stratagem to allow a unit to function as if it is in a "doctrine" even if that doctrine was already used that game. We have a "How to Play" video being produced for a near future release.
Totally agree. Best out there in pace, showing the board, explaining the rules. Games Workshop themselves pale in comparison. Thanks for what you guys do!
@Play On Tabletop haha well I have a similarish style that i got inspired to do from seeing your ultramarines. I just don't use the final white highlight and I do a lot more weathering! But I absolutely love your work and would love to see you work flow! I know I could learn a thing or 2 from it! Keep up the great painting tac!
I'm disappointed for Mubin not helm the Tyranid for 10th edition opening, but Rebecca's ambition to kick Steve's butt raise the -steak- stake of this match
Weird seeing Steve roll well. It feels..unnatural. I just have to say, I really appreciate the levity of these batreps. This is the kind of energy I'm glad I can see going into 10th Ed. I know the overly-friendly style isn't everyone's shtick, but it feels like I'm hanging out with my own friends, cracking open a few cold ones and playing some 40k while we horse about. Thank you for all of the hard work that goes into making these and thank you for keeping the same positive energy! P.S., I hope to see Chaos Daemons sometime soon. 10th is looking interesting for them.
Thank you for watching! I am glad you like the energy and appreciate the goals of the channel. We also know it is not for everyone but when it lands for people like yourself we know we can continue doing this in our style. So thank you very much for the support.
The box set is apparently not balanced on points with the space Marines having an edge. Not as bad as the Necrons one last edition, but still not equal.
Tbh, some of these tyranid dice rolls were awful. But, it is the same thing i saw at the official game that GW uploaded, these tyranids have pretty bad AP, their shooting and melee often did almost nothing to the marines, who could consistently make saves. Marines also have a lot of rerrolls, and oaths of moment is basically death for the unit you choose. However, we still have to see more units, maybe bringing some tyranids who are more anti elite.
That new apothecary sure looks fancy, considering that in both games that i seen he just sat on an objective the entire game. Does he have a weapon? I don't know. Is there any cool abilities? I don't know. Is he even real or is it just a figment of my imagination? I don't know, he might as well be a random guardsman.
In our upcoming How to Play video we have a fun interaction with him. He does have a gun and an interesting mechanic. All Leaders give a buff to the unit they attach to and in this case, he was not attached to a unit.
Goonhammer wrote that he attaches to Gravis units and gives them Lethal Hits. A pretty good buff on something like Aggressors, however, there's nothing to attach him to in this box, so players can't make use of him and he has to sit back.
@@ForTheJerusalem Yes. Though Phobos Lieutenant has Lone Operative, he's pretty good by himself too. And Terminators can put out some hurt even when not protected. For Apothecary, buffs seem to be the only thing he offers.
He has OC 3 and if the squad he is leading kills a unit on an objective he goes to OC 9. He is meant to sit on objectives with a gravis unit. Might even make heavy int really good for holding home objective, eating a charge and having a ton of OC still
This Production quality is amazing. So hyped for Season 5. Also, i have NEVER seen Steve roll this well. Perhaps, as the prophecy foretold, the year of Steve is upon us.
Gotta love the energy and the sass that Rebecca brings to those battle reports. Always great to see her ! Of course the rest of the team is also awesome 😊 Great job everyone, thank you for producing such a great quality and fun content for us to watch!
I don't know... I feel like this box set heavily favours SM. Terminators saving on 3+ and 2+? Flamers, all the other range. I think Tyranids don't have enough ranged tools in that list, to deal with SM. I would also expect Nids to have more psychics but maybe something changed in that department in 10th edition...
She threw the neurotyrant right into the middle of the field. He's got 18" range, ignores cover and had cannon fodder to help him retreat even if he got caught in the line of fire. This wasn't a fair match to judge either army on.
@@PlayOnTabletop Glad to hear that, the 9th edition how to play video is what helped me even get into 40k in the first place. I basically owe the love I have for the hobby now to you guys.
Won't be able to watch live since it'll be 2am where I am. All I'm gonna say is, Tyranids devour those marines and get that sweet sweet biomass for the fleet.
These videos are so well done! I haven't watched any battle reports for years and certainly never have seen any in this quality. It's like a proper TV production.
The Leviathan box seems to built HEAVILY in favor of the Ultramarines. Anyone else getting that vibe/feeling? And to pile on, yes production value is *chefs kiss* it's become the feather in the cap of this channel. It's why people come here.
@@PlayOnTabletop I can’t wait to see you guys when 11th comes out lol hopefully it’s all going like clockwork by then. It’s amazing to see you guys refining your style and building a strong community around something you’re all passionate about!
Disappointed for the nids ngl, would’ve loved to see the VR leapers get some play, and the screamer put in some work. Also the psychophage would’ve been interesting to see go after the sternguard. But it’s great to see you guys going ahead and putting this out there, everyone is so excited for the launch and I was really hoping to see you guys put out an early battle report. Hopefully the nids won’t be underpowered in this edition, all the new units look so cool it’d be shame for them to consistently not perform great. I’d really love to build a nids army with all these cool new monster units.
Always great to see Rebecca! As someone who doesn't play 40k I love watching her get the game more and more each time, going along for the ride with her makes the game feel much more accessible!
I'm super excited for more Season 10 content. Normally I have to watch these games in the background while painting because 9th edition was too tough to follow directly. But I love how much faster paced rounds feel and really adore the way Battleshock affects the game.
Feels like the Psychopage should have gone for the termies instead of the dread. They would have had the Psyker keyword as they were bodyguarding the Librarian. Those mortals from the anti-psyker would have ripped them apart.
@@PlayOnTabletop IIRC lore-wise the Psychophage was purpose-built to hunt down and eat Psykers? If so, easy way to remember where to point that scary hungry maw :P And the Barbgaunts can stop the pesky psykers running away.
As a more competitive focused 40k player I really appreciate what Play On does, lots of focus on making the hobby fun vs being concerned with min maxing lists. Lowering the barrier of entry is so important in this hobby, thanks for doing what y'all do!
Putting a new player with Nids vs one of your most competitive players with space marines is a bummer. Watching her units get stripped off the table while the marines barely got scratched was painful.
28:10 So heads up, but Sharow of the Warp would be used in the Command step of the Command phase. This means that you *cannot* use Insane Bravery against it.
Thank you! They were rushed. These were all painted in less than a week and were being painted up to deployment (actually some were painted and handed to the players for deployment)
They messed this up you can't use insane bravery against shadow in the warp. You can only use insane bravery in the battleshock step. Shadow happens before this is the Command phase.
The Leviathan box seems like a list of nids designed to look dangerous, but setup for the poster boys to hard counter with their list. Would love to see custom lists with nids that take something to deal with heavier armor. The big dip in the nids favor is the anti-psyker damage monsters, but no one ever seems to get it to the psyker, instead throwing it at the dreadnought.
It was a fun match to watch even though I was fairly confident it'd be a marine win. Props to Rebecca for taking the underdog nids against a stronger SM force designed out of the box to murder them. She did well and was fun to watch and listen too, with a great attitude. :)
Is the insane bravery for this box different from the rule book? Shadow in the Warp should have been activated at the start of the command phase, as the insane bravery strat can only be used in the battleshock step of the command phase, and not in response to just any battleshock.
I hope the tabled win con doesn't stay since I like the idea of an army winning on objectives enough to secure victory even at the cost of their lives. Also yeah I'm just going to use Gladius with the Blood Angels cause the detachment rule we got makes me cry after seeing what Black Templars got, which is most of the Detachment Rules cause of how swingy they feel.
This is the basic game from the leviathan rule book, so the victory conditions are quite simplified. Don't worry, the new mission formats are quite varied and make for some unique games!
Yeah, back in my Tyranid days of 5th edition, every game looked a lot like this. Rough if this is how the new box set plays out the majority of the time... At least the bugs look cooler! 😊
I am going to say something that not many people, if anybody, will say in the comments but here it goes: Rebecca is not a good player and there were quite a few misplays and throughout the battle report. Keep in mind that she is a very new player though, so that is to be expected, she will get better with time and experience. The box scenario doesn't always play like that and the Tyranids have huge potential, you just need to pilot them well.
@@Dracobyte here are some ways 5th was different: • Units had built-in abilities (no CP/strategems). • Pre-measuring wasn't allowed. You would declare your target first, then shoot. If you were out of weapon range, you couldn't shoot or elect another unit within range to shoot. • Split fire wasn't allowed without special rules or wargear - a unit had to declare all its attacks to one enemy unit. • Sweeping Advance allowed you to wipe a unit after a successful assault phase. • Target opportunity tests, (may not have been in 5th?) you had to pass a leadership test to shoot any unit that wasn't the closest. • Vehicles had armor and a different amount depending on its orientation (front, side, rear). They also had weapon facing and degrees of fire - example many sponson weapons could only fire in a 90° arc. • Vehicles had glancing and penetrating damage tables to reference. They also remained on the table after they were "wrecked" and became terrain. Additionally, vehicles could move at "different speeds" within their move characteristic and would therefore generate different effects. • Hits and Wounds were calculated/referenced from a table. • Template weapons and scattering. • It was played on a 6'x4' table. • There were only three phases: Movement, Shooting, Assault.
If those leapers had some way of reacting to being shot at, maybe the game would feel more interactive for both players? Plus it wasnt just points spent for naught? But what do I know
Yeah, looking at the strat you can only use it in your own command phase, so it can’t be used to stop shadow in the warp. Still, new rules, easily missed. Also still underpowered compared to oaths, which looks kinda miserable to play against in smaller games like this
"We both lost quite a bit. I lost my captain, you lost your uh..... army." Rough game to watch for the nids, those dice just were not having it and the Levi box really needs some more AP in there.
Nids new shadow in the warp is so bad lmaooooo 1cp to counter it entirely even if you somehow don’t pass, vs the marines getting free rerolls to everything on a unit of their choice. GW with a masterpiece of balance
I shut myself off from 40k until the first batrep was posted...The first PLAYON batrep that is...Now I can come back for a whole new edition...This time I've been challenged to use a single faction for the ENTIRETY of 10th. I've chosen Deathwatch.
@@PlayOnTabletop No problem, glad you caught it. It was a great game anyway! Do all combi-weapons really hit with the same profile? That was the only bit I found confusing, otherwise 10th looks sweeeet.
Hard to judge but the lictors death didn't seem right, might be camera angles but looked like that tall hill would have obscured a lot of shots that lit them up. Like most of the unit wouldn't have been able to shoot that first turn to wipe them.
The choice to bring only one source of AP higher than 1 certainly feels like a maladaptive one. The neurotyrant attack being low AP was the real shock for me. Did nid lists really need two new HQs specialized in hurting light infantry?
So shadow in the warp states every unit will take a battleshock test, not units that are not battle shocked will take a battleshock test. That single marine should have rolled when the shadow of the warp was activated, there was a chance it would pass this time.
Clarifications and Things to Note:
Space Marines' detachment is the Gladius Strike Force and with that the "Tactical Doctrine" allows fall back and shoot and charge, and the "Devastator Doctrine" allows advance and shoot.
There is a stratagem to allow a unit to function as if it is in a "doctrine" even if that doctrine was already used that game.
We have a "How to Play" video being produced for a near future release.
Thanks for this, I was super concerned that balistus just got away with murder xD
Same
Question; did lieutenant Norris kill those Nids with Roundhouse kicks?
So did you have two doctrines in effect at the same time? Fall Back/Shoot + Advance/Charge?

This is going to get lost in all the 10th edition talk and fawning over the new models but the scenery in Play On Tabletop videos is always A++
I love the little shooting animations etc. It;s just a nice little touch that makes it more engaging.
Please more of these "slow-ish paced" and explained but fun battle reports!
I really like the CP changes so you can't just nuke someone with three stratagems and a host of rerolls on turn 1. Incredibly positive change.

• Target opportunity tests, (may not have been in 5th?) you had to pass a leadership test to shoot any unit that wasn't the closest.
• Vehicles had armor and a different amount depending on its orientation (front, side, rear). They also had weapon facing and degrees of fire - example many sponson weapons could only fire in a 90° arc.
• Vehicles had glancing and penetrating damage tables to reference. They also remained on the table after they were "wrecked" and became terrain. Additionally, vehicles could move at "different speeds" within their move characteristic and would therefore generate different effects.
• Hits and Wounds were calculated/referenced from a table.
• Template weapons and scattering.
• It was played on a 6'x4' table.
• There were only three phases: Movement, Shooting, Assault.
@@zarlus8 thank you so much for your answer!
"Whatever, Rebecca, okay? Whatever."
Gotta love Steve's humour lol.
I love how fast 10th edition finishes games. I don't want to play for 2.5-4 hrs on a single game lol
This was only around 1k points so 2k still going to be around 3 hours
Well they are playing at a smaller points level than usual, It’ll play faster, but maybe not that much faster.
I've seen 1k games take twice as long as this. I'm hoping even larger games can be done quickly with the new format.
If those leapers had some way of reacting to being shot at, maybe the game would feel more interactive for both players? Plus it wasnt just points spent for naught? But what do I know
Looks like Oath of Moment is triumphant...
Absolutely needs to be once per game. Not every round
@@joshual6305 yeah well Spez Marinz iz da best...
I’ve been waiting for this one. POT is my go to channel for battle reports. I’m so excited for all the 10th edition content that is to come!
I saw the chadow in the warp abilities unfold exactly how i know it would . Mostly useless ,make your enemies consume 1 cp .
It's highly underpowered, especially compared to oaths of the moment
@@DarthAuxilia Underpowered against Marines, sure. Probably not underpowered against Guard or similar.
@Shadowmancy91 now that I think about it, marines do probably have a real good leadership
you should not be able to use CP to cancel it. Check the insane bravery rule
Yeah, looking at the strat you can only use it in your own command phase, so it can’t be used to stop shadow in the warp. Still, new rules, easily missed. Also still underpowered compared to oaths, which looks kinda miserable to play against in smaller games like this
Great game guys, thanks for hosting a 10th ed. game and walking us all through it roll by roll. :)
I assume Steve didnt get Victory Dice as you cant risk opening the locked cabinet where they are stored while he is in the building?
You got it!
"We both lost quite a bit. I lost my captain, you lost your uh..... army." Rough game to watch for the nids, those dice just were not having it and the Levi box really needs some more AP in there.
Nids new shadow in the warp is so bad lmaooooo 1cp to counter it entirely even if you somehow don’t pass, vs the marines getting free rerolls to everything on a unit of their choice. GW with a masterpiece of balance
And shadow in the warp is once per game.
The Marines get to pick a unit every turn to vaporize.
Totally fair and balanced
I shut myself off from 40k until the first batrep was posted...The first PLAYON batrep that is...Now I can come back for a whole new edition...This time I've been challenged to use a single faction for the ENTIRETY of 10th. I've chosen Deathwatch.
Hope you have a lot of fun with 10th ed and the Deathwatch. Happy tabletop gaming
Will there be a beginner's guide video for how to play 40k like there was for 9th edition?
Yep! We’re almost done
We are working on it as we speak! It is a huge video so taking us a lot longer to produce but should be out soon
One of my most beloved action-comedy series:
Year of steve
Year 2 - the return of steve
Steve 3 - Tokyo Drift
This channel has inspired me to start a 40k army can't wait for 10th edition it looks good
Im seeing a scary lack of thunderhammers here steve, those nids are VERY THUNDERHAMMERABLE
Audio levels are a bit off in this one. 🤔
Sorry about that. We realized way too late (after the game) that Steve's mic was pointed away from him
@@PlayOnTabletop No problem, glad you caught it. It was a great game anyway! Do all combi-weapons really hit with the same profile? That was the only bit I found confusing, otherwise 10th looks sweeeet.
Combi weapons is a single profile. The benefits seem to be in the keywords. It took a bit for us to get used to it.
Also, R.I.P. headphone users at 0:28. 🤯
The background projectors were such a good addition. These videos are looking great.
good game! Im liking the look of 10thE from this, but the Dice Gods continue to take their pound of plastic XD
Dice Tell Stories. Both players had great attitudes despite what the dice were doing to them so we appreciate both for being so amazing with it.
Hard to judge but the lictors death didn't seem right, might be camera angles but looked like that tall hill would have obscured a lot of shots that lit them up. Like most of the unit wouldn't have been able to shoot that first turn to wipe them.
Please, more games with Rebecca 😊
Seems like hive fleet leviathan is all bark no bite with these previews.
The choice to bring only one source of AP higher than 1 certainly feels like a maladaptive one.
The neurotyrant attack being low AP was the real shock for me. Did nid lists really need two new HQs specialized in hurting light infantry?
Oh my god the new models look soooooo good 🤤🤤🤤
And were very fun to paint!
So shadow in the warp states every unit will take a battleshock test, not units that are not battle shocked will take a battleshock test. That single marine should have rolled when the shadow of the warp was activated, there was a chance it would pass this time.
That new Carnifex model is so damn sick!!
Apparently, the screamer killer is kind of a unique model that's different from the carnifex
@@DarthAuxilia screamer killer was just a variation of carnifex that you could run, this is the screamer killer getting it's very own model.
@@kendalflongbeard2935 yeah I just meant that it's confirmed the carnifex model isn't changing, and there give the screamer killer a new one
I really want to believe 10th edition is the era of Space Marine Steve, but I think we all know what is going to happen XD
nids army rule seems extremely underwhelming
Against Ld7 or higher it's a lot more devastating
Should have called it Season “10”.
I think this is the most polished video you guys have ever released. Amazing work.
