The paint jobs, epic battle....but more importantly, your energy during this whole battle reporting was just awesome guys lol. A 40k player here for 3 decades. This was a joy to watch. Well earned sub from a new viewer 👏👏
On demand is well worth it. Pod casts and dnd chronicles of Valtor are worth the price of admission alone. Plus the 40K games are huge fun and narrative, league games are more competitive, horde and hero mode are epic, boarding action is superb and a smattering of AOS and old world give a truly all round experience. It’s massively inspiring and my son and I love every second!
Fun game, just a heads up but when throwing down the Battleshock in the command phase and when the Battleshock is pushed at the start of the fight phase by Raptors, if the target unit is within 6" of the Raptors it's -2 to Batlleshock not just -1 (as its -1 BS for the Terror Decends Detachment rule and a further -1 to the Battleshock for the Fearsome rule that the Raptors have, turing LD 6+ to 8+ and so on is very potent) which really helps with locking your opponent out of Startagems with Battleshock.
I always consider the "Cleanse" mission to be a "Corrupt" mission if the army calls for it. From Nurgle's perspective (for example), spreading virus-laden slime over an objective is actually "cleansing" it!
At 1:00:13 the capt with Sang guard used aggressive onslaught to advance and charge then redempter used relentless onslaught to fall back and charge so don't think there was actually a rule error, he didn't double up the same stratagem
@@thepastrychef8014 yeah same lol 😆 I have to constantly remind myself it's 2 separate strats in game cause I forget does not help theyre so similarly named !! 😅
Wow that night lords army looks great! Also, it’s always nice to see the spider with the blood angels. Those look awesome as well. Glad the painting tutorial is up!
Best quotes..."Froths ahoy!" And "Warm your cockles on my plasma!" 😂😂😂 You guys are the best! Hilarious, entertaining, engaging, immersive high quality content!
A new battle report? We have come for you. (Also I love how Astorath vs 'Decimus' would just be two warbands running into other because both the guys in charge got a feeling of psychic bad vibes from the area.)
Love watching the Spider play! More cinematic narration!! One cool thing I’d love to see is models being removed when they’re slain (unless fight on death)… just so the full impact of an attack can be immediately seen. You guys are the best ❤
Thanks mate! Funny you should say that, I agree! In fact we’ve started filming reports that way with casualty removal, you’ll see them filter through shortly.
The editors note is wrong btw. They are two different strategems, relentess assault is fall back and charge (or shoot), but advance and charge is aggressive onslaught, so the play was perfectly fine.
Yeah someone else pointed it out as well, I convinced myself they were the same as they sounded similar, but yes two different Stratagems so perfectly fine 😅
"Today, I will teach your kind the meaning of wrath. I will kill a thousand of your filth-breed before your blood dries on my gauntlets." - Gabriel Seth, Chapter Master of the Flesh Tearers addressing the enemies of the Emperor.
Lovely armies. RIP Gabriel Seth :( I've been having a fair bit of success with my night lords/dread talons recently and will be taking them to a teams event. MVP is Jump lord with uppy-downy enhancement in a unit of raptors and a big brick of terminators. Coming down (and going back up) with the 3" deepstrike (free with lord) and a cheeky grenade is gnarly for both assassinate and point-stealing. Giving the termies fall back and charge and a biiiig battleshock aura often comes in clutch. The army definitely needs some vindicators and predators to tangle with vehicles though. Vashtorr is a silly inclusion in the list, too; anything that shoots him gains hazardous on all its guns for a turn, which is an easy way of spreading battleshocks throughout your opponents army given this detachment procs them at below *starting* strength.
Call it heresy if you like, but the thumbnail made me think astorath might make a good basis for a night lord conversion. Get rid of the very blood angel stuff, add a few spikes, some bat wings and you're good to go.
Honest question, since when were we able to give every Raptor a plasma pistol? In the Chaos Codex it says the Aspiring Champion and one other Raptor per unit of five can have a plasma pistol. That's a max of two plasma pistols in a five man unit or three in a ten man unit. If they can all take it now that's awesome I've just never seen a new rule allowing that anywhere.
The datasheet allows for Plasma Pistol on the champ and then 2 special weapons (plasma pistol/chainsword, meltagun, plasma gun or flamer) per 5. So you can have a maximum of 5 plasma pistols in a squad of 10 :)
This was an awesome watch. As someone who has never played the game but is a massive fan of the lore for a few years, where would I begin collecting Night Lords? I bought the recent kill team for my first ever models but it looks like that's the only NL models that GW sell.
Worth looking into some Horus Heresy kit options. I'm currently working on a Mk VI Assault Squad that I'm converting into Raptors (I prefer to use the "official" Chaos Raptors kit for Warp Talons instead). There are some nice NL Forgeworld upgrade options to make them legion-specific.
@@horuslupercal2385 Nice, I also bought some warp talons for the same reason. I don't know much about Forgeworld but I've heard bad things for price/quality. But if you recommend them I'll check it out!
Am I dumb or is it not generally better to pop smoke on a vehicle rather than armour of contempt??? Reduce AP *and* -1 to hit for the same CP cost as +1 armour save.
Newcomer here. Happy to have found the channel! I do wish you would show the removal of the dead units. It would help to keep track of the progress of the fight/battle.
Shouldnt tank shock have only been 6 dice? As it says select a melee weapon and the only melee weapon a vindicator has is armoured tracks? And it’s less strength than a dreadnought toughness.
Tank shock has been changed on the balance dataslate to use the Toughness of the Vehicle instead of the melee strength. (It makes Tanks better at Tank shocking and Knights/Dreadnoughts worse) :)
@@SIDFISHOUS I think it was back in June. i just checked it was actually a core rule change, which modified several strats including heroic intervention only being 1cp
This HAS to be the 2 most expensive armies they've ever played. The bits, the painting, and the number of kits used just to make these armies? You have to start posting how much it cost lol
Little mistake, I wouldn't worry about it they both were passed anyway. Theres a lot to get your headround with the dread talons. Lots of very similar, but annoyingly different rules and abilities.
Cultist Mob with Firearms is a legend datasheet. It has all the old options, all the relevant keywords and its the same points as a normal cultist mob. :)
Nightlords.... the most perfectly well selected army to show here during spooky month ;)
Murder Bats vs Vampire Angels :)

Donation to Beard for having a top-teir #1 movie pick with T2 😎
Thank you!
Lawrence and Beard are the most fun to watch. Always love their games!
Do you guys have a tutorial for that night lords armor? Looks great not too black and not too blue.
Its Night Lords Blue, Zenithal of Kantor Blue, edge highlighted with Kantor Blue, Altdorf guard Blue and then Hoeth Blue :)
@@nickgoddard3833 Thank you.
That night lord paint job is awesome
Props to that Night Lord army - looks really stunning!
Also really good battlerep once again
Heya, are there any terrain tutorials for those burned trees and stacked rocks/ arches? This table is flippin awesome! (as well as the models~)
Space Vampires vs Space Batmans? Should be a good rumble! What better way to start a Saturday? :D

Great night lord list and paint job. Always love to see different space marine chapters
Slight thing to note! The Death Company charge with Astorath at 19:40 ish get a free charge reroll from the death company ability!
Ave Dominus Nox! 🦇
Man, i would love to see that Night Lords army against some Dark Angels. That army is gorgeous!
YES!! Night Lords, LETS GO!
That Night Lords army looks gorgeous
Man those Night Lords look niiiiice 👌
Love to see night lords.
Question. What glass cabinets are those in the back along the walls of your room?
IKEA kallax units with glass inserts and custom lighting
Those Night Lords. *chef's kiss*
Y'alls banter is great! All is lost! You've ruined my day. Beautiful armies as well, particularly the Night Lords.
Ave Dominus Nox!
Always love Beard and Spider's energy in these games. Pair of respectable lads with their tomfoolery.
43:33 "And I believe we were the first ever chapter whose battlecry was 'I don't think so!'"
Ave Dominus Nox
that is a amazing looking nightlords army....
That Abdomen conversion is gorgeous
1:00 - just the naming of the rule was a mistake. Advance/Charge and Fall back/Charge are seperate strats now
I always enjoy when Lawrence does a battle report
We have come for you!
🦇 In Midnight Clad 🦇
Raptors don't have grenades tho 😬
Which is ridiculous imo...they cost more points than the jump intercessors yet don't have grenades for some reason
Nightlord Beard sounds like a winner of a league!
32:31 such glee, Khorne would be proud!

My god those night lords look amazing
Loyalists and traitors are made to fight each other in epic fight scenes. Astorath and death company fought the villains with bravery 🥺😭
It's old fashioned vampire-off!
Any idea what he did for the trim on that nightlords armor? Looks awesome
Such a fun game, its great to see thematic armies and not just spamming the best/cheapest!
Great to see beastmen Loves these mutants!
20:05 Curious why you used red rampage? That would negate Astorath's Devo wounds?
It's hilarious how your converted Sanguinary Guard look better than GW's new models for them. Amazing stuff keep up the amazing work you bosses.
Sanguinary guard can either take all swords or all spears, you cant combine
I don't think that's the case
@@Rushman666 That is what it says in the codex

My two favourite legions! Perfect 👌
were cultists given back their special weapons? i thought they lost them in the new CSM codex
They did, but Cultist Mob with firearms is a legend datasheet, same points, same keywords, all the old weapon options :)
Congrats on No Retreat, Spider! You gonna do a recap on that?
My 2 favorite arms that I both collect. What could be better!!
Am I dumb or is it not generally better to pop smoke on a vehicle rather than armour of contempt??? Reduce AP *and* -1 to hit for the same CP cost as +1 armour save.
It is I genuinely think people simply forget it’s a strat they can use in lieu of AOC on eligible units
depend if you are already in cover if yes then reducing ap by 2 is better
As a Raven Guard player, it hurts seeing those jump packs on DC BUT, they look awesome.
Newcomer here. Happy to have found the channel! I do wish you would show the removal of the dead units. It would help to keep track of the progress of the fight/battle.
Thanks and welcome! In more recent reports we have started to show dead models being removed. Hopefully you’ll enjoy that :)
First of all… METAL as Hell 🤙🧐 lol
Second, those Flesh Tearers are PHENOMENAL‼️
In the San Francisco CA [East] Bay Area, we'd say the Beastmen 'hoofed it' away!
does anyone know what bits the chaos lord in jump pack come from? He looks sick

Where did you find those jet packs ?
What parts are used to make those warp talons?
What Mark of Chaos was Beard running? I assumed it would be undivided but didn't see a single 1 to hit get rerolled.
That's only for the Pactbound Zealots detachment, not this one (which is Dread Talons)
@thepastrychef8014 well I either got that wrong from last edition or missed when that dropped off and owe my Votann playing friend a huge apology.
@@thepastrychef8014 appreciate you correcting me.
