The Final Siren! Space Marines vs Genestealer Cult in the 40k in 40m Siren's Call FInale

- Siren’s Call Finale! This narrative is inspired by this video’s sponsor: Void Shadows, the first DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. uberstrategist...
The Genestealer Cult are watching the Tyranids race across the sector with great anticipation. Ascension is near but the Space Marines have found the Siren’s Call relic and are fighting to get it off world and onto a Rogue Trader Voidship. The Genestealer Cult have set up a blockade to stop the Space Marines while Tyranids from previous battles who have broken through are attacking from the flanks. The Tyranids are non-player units that will interact with the game and attack the closest enemy unit, both Genestealer Cult and Space Marines.
In this game mode the winning condition for the Space Marines is to get the real Siren’s Call to the gate and hold it there till the end of the game. If the Genestealer Cult can stop the Space Marines from getting to the gate with the Siren’s Call relic, or kill the entourage holding the real Siren’s Call relic then the Genestealer Cult are victorious (and the Tyranids will eat the sector whole).
Marneus Calgar has hatched a plan. Calling upon two other Chapter Masters the Space Marines carry three relics, but only one is the real one. And it is only the real relic that needs to be sent off world. Rogue Traders (npc) accompany each guard unit that is trying to get the Siren’s Call relics to the gate.
Thank you for being on this journey with us. We really appreciate all the members that help us do what we do.

Marneus, Azrael and Dante. Damn that's a lot of plot armour😂.
Yes I loved this whole narrative series I whish we would get more like it!
I was thinking...wait for it.....an ork narrative series. How much fund would that be!
Tak the entire game: “I have the relic, this is a lie,”
Sorry, I couldn't help it. Just loved seeing Nick's reaction every time
We sure it wasn't alpha legion dressed as three different chapter masters?
Alpharius was actually Eddie the Exocrine the entire time
@@PlayOnTabletop The real Siren's Call was being held by Alpharius 2 tables down
Come on Tak! Bring home the win (and the beacon), buddy!
He indeed brought home the bacon.
I am once again in school watching this trailer during English
Eyyo study
@@nafisfaiaz3993 English is crap tbf
Based Warhammer enjoyer student (I’m biased)
Jokes on you. I'm watching it while I'm grading English homework
EVEN WITH FAILING GRADES, YOU SERVE THE EMPEROR 🗿
Been waiting patiently for the cult to show up 😂
Tak I’m begging you
Don’t split fire
Kill the bugs DEAD, gotta put them DOWN, you’re taking two of my fave chapter masters
Well Dante is a given. Whos the other one?
I just went to the gw website and they got rid of all the old building terrain from the 9th edition starter boxes. All of that type of terrain including the statues are gone
The new Kill Team box has very similar terrain. I hope they will make it available separately when the launch box sells out.
I am beyond hyped even genestealers are in the mix. So now is the question can the imperium defeat the swarm or will they be over run?
im curious how GSC is even going to put up a fight at all
they tried there best but it was so much fun to watch!
I loved the whole series, and the addition of genestealers was pretty cool, but as a final battle? Felt really… well not like a final battle, it was really one sided and not Tyranid enough. Would of loved a final stand from the imperium of man vs what broke through the previous battle and a final Swarm from the Tyranids
Might have been fun to do it the other way around maybe, like genestealers earlier instead
Yeah, I completely agree - Tak's objective was way too easy, especially considering Nick didn't know which objective to block, so he couldn't make a good strategy. (Also, 3 chapter masters was super busted and meant that Tak got to play with the rules for each chapter, which again, was pretty unbalanced.)
I get that this is a narrative campaign so it's not meant to be the usual matched play kinda deal, but tyranids won the majority of the games in the campaign, and it really felt like they didn't give them the advantage that they earned.
Tyranids didn’t win a majority of games tho. It was 2-2. Tyranids ate the white scars and ultras but the knights and dark angels held.
more narrative battles! they are so good!!
The Ballistus Dreadnought, the Redemptor from Space Marine 2- Ultramarine dreadnoughts hit different lol
As much as I loved the series, the Tyranid phase was a bit lackluster and Genestealers were far too fragile to really stand much of a chance at stopping the marine advance. Great to watch all the same and absolutely loved watching the build up for all this. Fantastic narrative.
I know a lot of people really enjoyed this and the production was great! But I'm leaving this comment of complaints coming from love for this channel.
The games leading up to this one were really fun to watch with the exception of the Knights vs Norn game. I'm not sure how that went through as an idea and the outcome of that game really proves how one sided it was. One sided games happen, but for me it ust made the match overall really boring. But outside of that one game all of those others were really fun and engaging to watch with different units and detachments played across all of them. But as for this final one? It felt very underwhelming. It didn't feel that there was much impact from the previous games in this match to make this stand out as a big finale that is happening the way it is because of the previous winners. The only noticable thing were the Tyranid models that made it through. And when it does come to the Tyranid models that did show up most of them were gants and only 2 monsters..? What about all of the monsters from game 3? Or any of the lingering ones from game 1? It really feels as though the previous victories for Tyranids didn't matter a whole lot by the end of it. And for Space Marines all they got was a dreadnaught? I could be wrong about that and heard something wrong but that's the only reward I recall hearing them get in this battle report. It honestly feels like Space Marines got NOTHING for any of their wins. I don't know if that was the point since they were basically trying to hold back the Tyranids, but it feels like the past games didn't matter much. I feel like after hearing so much how whoever won a game would get a reward of some kind in the final game really made people excited to see more especially since it was tied 2-2 but all that happened was a few units showed up. And all those units really did was managed to drag the game on for a bit longer after the Genestealer Cultists got destroyed. The Siren Call itself was a great and fun idea for this battle report though, it kept me engaged in what was happening. But despite that while this game was playing out it felt underwhelming compared to what was hyped up before. And I'll also voice the same opinions I've seen a few other people share and that's that having Genestealer Cutlist star in the finale, an army with a codex not built for this kind of mission go against a list full of Chapter Masters, Gravis Marines, Terminators, and Dreadnoughts really make that part of this battle a foregone conclusion. I was surprised to see that it was going to be Genestealer Cultists in the finale mainly because I was expecting the finale to be one big bug vs marine battle like the old 8000 points video. But seeing what they were up against really made it feel like they were doomed to fail and that the Tyranids would have to carry the weight but didn't have enough units or fire power to. For the big finale that was hyped up so much in the end it just feels underwhelming.
Again I'm leaving this comment from a place of love for this channel and content like this. I don't comment much but I want future narrative campagins like this to be even better this than was. I hope that you will do more narrative campagins in the future and that they won't suffer from these same problems.
I agree, as soon as it was said that the Tyranid units would come in later AND had their own restrictions as well as engagement rules. I know you don't always get a favorable deployment of them was also terrible putting all of the gene stealers right next to 2 Chapter Masters and their supporting squads. I think as this game went on they started to see just how one sided this match up was but it was way too late to change anything.
I appreciate the feedback and criticism. We have seen and read the critical comments on this video for the finale and noting it for future endeavours. I appreciate that you want future campaigns to be better, and so do we.
We do have our reasons for what made this finale scenario what it is. I do look back at all the efforts by the entire team on this series and think they all did incredibly well. It is not perfect. It was done to the best of our abilities. Now, with this experience I feel our abilities have improved and we can take all this learning to the next one. I appreciate the team's efforts in taking on a project of this scale and pulling it all off in the month and a half we had.
And, I really do appreciate everyone who leaves a comment. The ones that show their support through telling us what they liked. And, the ones that show their support through thoughtful critique. Both are valuable. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
@@PlayOnTabletop I look forward to the future content a lot. It's that excitement for that future content that made me want to share my thoughts, both positive and negative. It's also really crazy seeing the massive improvement of production in the 3 years I've been watching your channel. I've enjoyed every moment of it and really want to see it grow more and more. So I wanted to thank you for not only replying to my comment but also for continuing to make such like this to such a massive scale. Thank you to you and your team for everything you guys do.
@@PlayOnTabletop Was awesome throughout. Narrative games are rarely truly balanced so all good. Appreciate all the hard work put in by the team!
What was the point of having Tyranids win in prior battles to proc break through if it wasn’t even a guaranteed buff for the in the final battle since they can target either player’s units? Like what incentive was there actually to win previously if only the space marines were the ones who got to use the “units from a prior battle”
Didn’t realize how much I needed the dice cam until it was gone 😢😂
so true! i was even looking later in the vid if it would come back
Wait so you're telling me space marines get 3 chapter masters with 3 dreads, but the Genestealers don't get the Tyranids as a full on ally? And they have to choose to shoot randomly between targets, but Space Marines didn't? Like I get that SM are more coordinated and whatnot, but this just felt like bullying poor GSC, especially given the Tyranids could just... turn against GSC if they were closest. I get defender's advantage and all that but like... even before you factor in that Tyranids and GSC should be allies, GSC and Nids just aren't that great in general right now. Like maybe the edit has warped the perspective a bit (and I'm not 100% up to date on faction strength), but even still the odds seem insanely slanted against GSC
I feel like it would've been a lot more interesting if the odds were more stacked against the marines, maybe give 'em a knight as compensation if it feels that bad. A loss against overwhelming numbers then is understandable, but a win in the face of that would be super fulfilling.
Pretty anticlimactic. We end the fight with genestealers? Not tyranids?! And a fight that was pretty one sided from the get go. Sad bug noises.
You have to let the imperium get their win 😅
@@MrJDMBenji they lack so much
Dante *die and reach Sanguinius* hi da...
Sanguinius: *Grab Dante* GET YOUR @SS BACK THERE *throws Dante down from the sky*
Accurate
Wonderful campaign and wonderful game, but a bit underwhelming unfortunately having gsc be the ending
Despite my love for them they are just too weak rules wise rn to be an adequate threat even with all the nid wins before this
Please can you do more of these!? But BIGGER!!!! More models!!!!
Bring all of your best Chaos players and then unite them in the final battle!!!
This narrative series was really fun! I'd love to see more of these in the future. That said, I think this finale was kind of... disappointing, compared to the other episodes?
I appreciated seeing all the Tyranid-related forces in one game, but the way it was executed made it kind of a foregone conclusion that stole all the suspense away. I'd suggest taking a closer look at the army lists next time round - it was a problem in the Norns/Knights episode too, but really came to light here. Armies were stacked in such a way that the GSC had no chance given how weak their rules are right now - if they'd been the NPCs coming in, and Nick was just playing a regular 'Nids force, I think this would've been a lot more satisfying, even if the end result was the same!
That was a bad matchup, a waste of the Tyranids from previous games in the series, and a lackluster end to the narrative.
Im conflicted on one hand i really like gsc being in the mix but on the other i feel like a tyranid series should feature tyranids in the finale. Makes me kinda sad ascension day is a lie with the gsc being so weak
The series was awesome. The Finale? Not so much with those poor genestealers in a no win scenario
The secret twist was that Tak actually gave the relic to the Alpha Legion
"stolen"
Meh. One sided and dull.
I really wanna see nick do a playthrough of rouge trader
great series more like this plz
I loved the connecting narrative between all the missions! I just wish we got to see more varied imperium armies. One side was always going to be the same (tyranids) but 3/5 of the series was just space marines vs Tyranids. Could also be a cool way to get more people in one series!
was pretty disappointed with the finale not gonna lie. should've been a massive swarm of the nids with a gene stealer reinforce . because the only nids being gaunts and a exo and tyrant was super underwhelming and a big let down for the end of the nid narrative. loved the series up until this point but that was just a pretty lame one sided beatdown.
I get what you mean, (it would have been Ince to know in advance) but there have been plenty of battle reports on the channel with massive Tyranid swarms vs Space Marines.
It being genestealers in the final battle just felt like a bad subversion of expectation where as seeing them as reinforcements or fighting alongside them would’ve been unexpected but welcome and very cool. They needed waaaay more tyranids in this battle and they needed to be actually controlled by Nick. Tak was controlling three different armies why the hell can’t Nick control two it doesn’t make sense. SIDE NOTE WHY TF ARE THE IMPERIAL GUARD HELPING!?!? I DONT CARE IF THEY ARE A PART OF GENESTEALERS IT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE FOR THE FINAL BATTLE IN THE TYRANIDS SERIES TO HAVE ASTRA MILITARUM ON THE SIDE OF THE TYRANIDS!!! MAN YOU KNOW WHO I WANNA SEE IN FIGHT THE SPACE MARINES IN THE FINAL BATTLE OF THE TYRANID CAMPAIGN?!? WELL THE GUARD OF COURSE!!!
Why isn't the final boss of the sirens call, the Tyranid focused narrative campaign, the Tyranids? I like genestealer cults don't get me wrong. But it not actually being tyranids is just a let down.
Yeah I feel like maybe it could've been the tyrannical trying to get to the bunker while the space marines hold them off until the ship takes off.
I feel like it fits for GSC.
Is it convenient? Yes, but the tyranids are hauling butt to get there in time, and were repelled in the planets (I like to think warzones) defended by the DA and Knights.
So the bulk of the tyranid fleet was either repelled outright or at least delayed, leading to them not being able to muster significant enough forces to go head-to-head with three different chapters.
Thus, they call upon the conveniently-placed conscripts of the GSC for aid, as the Tyranid forces straggle in.
Simultaneously, the SM forces have finally located the Call, and are hell-bent on getting it off-world in the midst of the 'Nids last-ditch attempt to prevent it.
Again, is it convenient for the GSC? Yes, but it fits within the wider story, and it's never the wrong time for an uprising!
Was kinda hoping the finale to be a 2v2 or even a 1v2 (Marines vs 2 Tyranid armies) to really show the swarm visuals. Still a nice game.
Big disagree. Watching another Tyranid vs Marines game? That's what everything beforehand was. It's a narrative game, GSC makes sense. And the Tyranids as an ambient threat that attacks both sides was beautiful.
@alexl2453 I disagree it was 2 wins and 2 losses should have been a stronger nid presence with a genesteeler support not genesteeler with tyranid support just iono feels bad moment the big narrative point for the nids was given over to the GSC .
50:06 nah that ballistus will never be forgotten
What an absolutely cool campaign! Sadly the genestealers seems a bit weak at the moment, compared to most other armies :/
The relic in question: A Blockbuster Video membership card
I still have mine!
I was waiting for a turn 4 of "OH MY GOD! IT'S OLD ONE EYE WITH A STEEL CHAIR!!"
Tyranids after the director's cut of 'Bug's Life'
So annoyed that the final army was all genestealers. Way to squishy and the tyranid reinforcements made practically no impact besides the hive tyrants one attack.
Oh... oh no... The final battle is GSC?
Man im curious how this non fuctional codex can produce a actual fun game to watch... and the tyranids are not even going to help?
Damn its like beating sth that is already dead man...
good bye nid victory
@@galling2052 yeah this finale was really underwhelming
@@wordson4787 Yes that was even with the tyranids helping out way more than i thought and the unlikly performance of the aberrants in the centre.
But it just shows that even with the odds in their favour GSC atm is just way too limp
Yeah after three strong nail-biters (and Norns getting Knightfisted), bringing poor GSC versus a list full of Gravis, Terminators, and Dreadnoughts was a foregone conclusion.
Did Tak roll the 4+ fnp against the blast at 14:20 ? His chaplain says he should!
Oh! I think I did but maybe not. Can't remember because now the only version of this game that I do remember is this edited one
I was going to ask the same about the Death Company FNP
@@PlayOnTabletop Well, the marines were victorious eitherway. Gz on the pokerface!
While I liked the twist of having GSC helping out the Tyranids the list felt like it was going to roll over from turn 1. The brood brothers detachment is cool for this kind of narrative play but the detachment ability never came up and no stratagems from the detachment were used so it didn't feel like they were relevant. Meanwhile the space marines felt like the list was much better built. I don't want to harp on this cool narrative that much like others said it felt lackluster.
ngl, it felt really lapsoded towards the marines, like if the nyds won every match, space marines still would have had a decent chance of winning.
I honestly think narrative campaigns are the best thing you guys do LOVE every single one. Be a dream to play a game with yall sometime.
Thank you for the show it was so much fun thank you Nick and Tak for a cool end to a great series.
Thank you for watching!
We all know that Calgar dragged Dante’s nearly-but-not-dead body all the way to Turn 5.
It feels like the lists were not balanced like I know the marines are strong but dang man
Admittedly, we are not game designers and were focused on the story. We do find it challenging to find balance in scenarios like this
@@PlayOnTabletop An very fitting and thematic matchup for this game could have been GSC vs Agents.
Those two are the worst, most limp codexes atm.
It would have been fun seeing these 2 very underperforming factions fight sth in their own weight class.
It wasn't a competative match, it was a narrative story game. The first game in the series was horribly lopsided for Tyranids but it was a narrative play so it doesn't matter.
@toportime Horribly lopsided? I think we watched differing Game 1 footage, Shadow in the Warp causing a crucial failed battleshock and some lucky Turn 5 shooting was the only thing that stopped a White Scars victory.
That was a really cool campaign with excellent narrative! But as soon as the armies were shown it was obvious who would win this game :/
Thanks for the spoiler, I'm on mobile and youtube autoshows comments.
@@UnicornstalkRGaming Sorry about that, friendo :/
I changed it so it won't happen again
Was this before or after the Blood Angels codex?
Nods nids nids
Oh also, I really enjoyed this series! It felt like the production was also taken up a notch! Well done everyone at Play On!
Tak assembling space marines version Avengers, make Nick feel it sevenfold Tak
What a great series. Thank you
Love this channel the players and all the work that goes into these games you guys do amazing work. Sadly for me this was the weakest episode in the series. Again love the work and effort that goes into all of this and ypur guys channel helped me really get into the groove of 40k when i started. Just the match up felt one sided from the start Genesteeler cults just dont lend well to assualt match ups let alone against three chapter masters and the nids running on agressive AI mode didnt really feel like the previous wins from either team really added much. Love the concept and all the work you guys put in and i really wanna see more like this in the future i just dont see alot of neat narrative games as battle reports and i really wanna see more. Id also love to see you guys do a crusade series but i know that can get weirdly complicated but theres just something appealing to me about seeing armies grow and change as the battles they fight progress.
So much great content to come down to Space Marine Avengers vs. GSC
The power armour power fantasy indeed.
That all aside though the work and love put into this campaign shows and it is truly appreciated.
Loved this, but I kinda hope the next narrative has other imperium forces. I know I’m excited to see what you guys can cook up with the Inquisition. Or even Xenos vs Chaos
Okay, that was actually amazing to watch... I can only begin to imagine how fun it must've been to play.
Day 3 of asking for a AOS Gloomspite Gitz vs Kharadron Overlords vid
Fantastic narrative and I was super hyped to see my favorite founding chapter bring it home with some of my favorite units in the finale, FOR THE LION!
I hate it when the bad guys win.
(Who am I talking about? Watch the video~)
This was a very exciting game !! Thanks to you guys for the entertainment !!
Amazing series and what a fantastic final battle. Thank you for the top notch content
Phenomenal job to everyone involved! Would love to see more narrative content in the future!
Great narrative series. You can always rely on Dark Angels to get shit done!
Nick's Tyranid death noises... the only reason I'm here!
The death company dreadnought is just seeing mini horusi
this last game felt really pointless the tyranids really didn't have any real impact on how the game went it was just a free game for space marine kind a disappointing after how much use thought this out to just go with games workshop and go no actually we dont like tryanids let just delete them from the game.
What is the “siren’s call” exactly? (feels a bit late to ask this lol)
Awesome series. Thank you for making it!
That was awesome, I loved keeping up with it
I would love to know more about that Sanctus model
Azrael is gon have it i think
got it right haha
Dantes heat discoloured pistol looked epic.
Loved this miniseries! Please do another one!
this whole series was pretty awesome
Great work. Thank you.
great series! love them all
It was a really fun series, I hope to see more like it in the future.
Really good narrative series! So more
Votann?
Man, that Ballistus sacificing himself at the end to bait the tyranid horde was such a cinematic moment. Great work guys
It felt very epic as that part of the story unfolded at the table. That is a big reason why I love this game so much. The dice tell stories.
Nobody was expecting Final Boss Nick to be .. well, Final Boss.
Amazing series, need more of those.
Dante finally got the death he craves
Starting 43:00 Tak really is good in psychological warfare it really shows his creativity from poker face to manipulation in decision making. Nick I love his enthusiastic and high spirits nature, it’s very rare to have that trait. I still love to see Tak and Nick playing together in this awesome table top narrative. One day I hope Tak and Nick team up for a 2v2 match up.
I loved this entire series, every battle (besides the Knight's) was incredibly fun and did showcase a lot of what the Tyranids are able to. But...
Everyone's saying this, I might as well: this finale was a real letdown. I expected Tyranids coming full force, given it was the entirety of the series, and I got genestealers, the only Tyranids that showed up were 50/50 a hazard for themselves, since by attacking their allies they would've lost the McGuffin.
And it's kinda insulting honestly, Tyranids are supposed to be an alien mastermind and they won't even work towards their own goal? They're just gonna show up, behave like dumb dogs and lose because of it? With a Hive Tyrant present nonetheless? And what happened to the Siren's call? Did they just decide that they didn't want it anymore after running for half the solar system just to get it?
All the while the Space Marines are free to act as they please.
And the choice of the mission was the most insulting part, giving Genestealers, a very fast moving but fragile army, which relies on numbers and luck to keep up with the others, fighting against one of the tankiest space marines list I've ever seen, the mission of holding the line was simply unfair. At the moment I saw Calgar with a squad of aggressors I immediately thought "it's better that they don't have the McGuffin 'cause there's no way genestealers are going to be able to chew through that".
If Nick were to get pissed at all of this I wouldn't blame him honestly, it's very unsportsman like to put someone in a game so unfairly rigged against him. It's a testament to his abilities (and the aggressor's slowness) that he was able to hold on until the last turn.
A much better game would've been something along the lines of: a small contingent of allied genestealers (say 500 points, positioned in the middle of the board, considering a short-edge deployment) managed to bioengineer a McGuffin that is producing the Siren's call, the space marines, lead by Calgar, managed to finally track the origin of the signal, but too late. The Tyranids have boarded the planet and now the fight is inevitable, but the Marines can stop the call from reaching the bulk of the Hive Fleet, which is still in the stars.
If the Tyranids manage to reach the Siren and hold it (treating it as an objective) for at least 3 (non consecutive) turns they will absorb it and send the last signal to the Hive Fleet, giving it's Nautilus the coordinates for the planet and everything will be lost. If instead the Space Marines manage to prevent them from doing so they will be able to destroy the Siren and the Nids will be toast.
Short-edge deployment, Nids go last, Nids treat Genestealers as allied units (at the expense of their own points) and get bonus units from the previous games. Space Marines do so as normal and they get their own allied units. The mission rule playes in favour of the Nids (they're good at especially holding objectives), but the enemy list is still a hard counter to them (really high saves and toughness with high amounts of firepower is the bane of any Tyranid army) and the deployment isn't favourable either (nids are fast, but assault intercessors are faster and hit harder, and being far away takes away turns from them, which they don't have).
This is probably my favorite series you guys have done so far (definitely not biased as a knights, agents, and dark angels player) but what a phenomenal watch that had some incredible moments throughout the series. Would love to see more narrative games like this with unique mechanics. Makes the games feel so much more I'm enticing and unique instead of the usual competitive lists fighting for glory.
Tak put the Aggressors/Calgar into Devestator Doctrine, then Advanced and fired. The charge on Hellhound wouldn't of been possible.
Genuinely kind of upset they didn't use a giant Tyranid list for the finale. GSC don't exactly feel like a final boss
This was AWESOME!! Kudos to the Play On team for making this awesome series!
Didnt the Imp Knights win massively in their battle? And the Tyranids had alot of units in their victories?
Shouldve been a massive battle to evacuate with hordes of Tyranids pushing in non-stop.
Maybe a final twist with Guilliman or something to reinforce to secure the win.
Absolutely loved this whole series! Thank you for all the work the team has poured into this 🖤🤍Although I do share some of the sentiments on the finale, I hope it's not discouraging and allows improvement for the future as I would love to see more narrative series like this! Maybe even have one for AoS at some point!
While watching I felt so bad for the Ballistus Dreadnought, he was always fighting the tyranids, but at the end he saved all of them holding the tyranids down! plz make more series of videos like this!
Loved the series, and everyone's been great, but I can't help but feel a little disappointed with this last episode. Just feels a little bit disconnected compared to how it was built up.
Brand new to this game, but you guys are the first people I’ve watched so I’m currently glued to the screen learning as much as possible. PS tyranids for life
"Death Company makes its charge against the Aberrants,"
Meanwhile on the battlefield: "F*CK YOU BUG HORUS!"
Painful to watch. I get that genestealers are just the promo bad guys to beat, but if you want gsc to lose to space marines, just play them normally - especially for a brood bros detachment. Put them up against multiple dreads and 3 chapter masters, plus potentially hostile reinforcements, and it's no wonder they get swept away with nobody doing anything. I think the only memorable unit was the aberrants? Which was 375 points to tie up some marines and die. Sanctus did nothing, reductus just blew up, benefictus did nothing, neophytes did nothing... did anyone do anything? Did any stratagems get used besides grenades? How many ridgerunner lasers actually did damage?
Super cool series, was very fun to watch and really interesting. Woulda like to have seen the Tyranids have a bigger impact in this game but still super dope, please make more narrative campaigns like this
Loving the narrative games, I hope Nick remembers that in the codex the crossfire of the ridgerunners lasts until end of turn thus adding ap to melee attacks too!
And that the Abominant has 4 attacks now!!!
Sirens call, or as I like to call it "Lets just bully Tak for several games,"
Jokes aside would love to see more of these. Maybe in the summer you could do one with Steve.
We need more stories like this Playon. This series was captivating. ❤ 🍻
This was awesome! Do more like this! BTW, where are Nick's Custodes!? I want more Golden Boys on the channel!
This was fantastic as a series. So many awesome moments. o7 that hero dread. My vote is for another narrative campaign.
Wow!!! ❤
What an amazing Mini-Series!! You guys created again a great and immersive Storyline! Well played and featured all the way through!
Thank you, for letting us join and enjoy the spectacle!!! 😊😊
Lot of negativity about GSC being in the finale and not getting full control over the nids making this an easy win for the Marines but this could have easily have gone the the other way. If Nicks units just held up the marines long enough and rolled better on regening the units, Tac could have easily found himself sandwiched between the two forces. He pushed hard a fast and having the Ballista's in the back to hold up the rear was a solid plan.
