What?... oh wait, no I wasn't refering to your name. When you first reply it quotes the name of the person you reply to. I usually delete it before commenting but I forgot :) I was refering to the new intro song... its a parody (or at least they used the intro melody) from a Stone Roses song to which 'twisting my melon, man' was a Lyric...
I'm always sceptical when Tom plays and Ben isn't in the room to reign in his tendency for ad-hoc rule bending. By the looks of it, Alex was also a little unimpressed. It's a good thing Lewis at least stepped in and told him to start pre-defining what he was doing with what.
IndustrialBonecraft alex doesn't seem in a bad mood to me... maybe I'm bad at reading people... also ben is the one who told Tom how to do one of his more questionable things in order to make the tank brigade more viable
skylordwolfface its one of those things that happens with lists in miniature games where you try to do something fun and either you regret it or your enemy ends up hating you for it
This guard list is by no means broken or overpowered. It sounds like a typical rookie response for when someone plays a mech list to me "What, 6 tanks, thats OP i dont get 6 tanks waah waah". Supreme Command detachment with 3 Tank Commanders, and an Outrider detachment with 3 Hellhounds is solid but not tournament breaking, not even sure if he has Commander Pask which he bloody should if he's running the tank company. His tanks cannot even contest objectives from troops because they aren't in a Spearhead detachment. All Alex needs to do to win is charge them repeatedly with janky units so the tanks can't shoot back, while he pummels them with the dark lances and planes.
Actually, the cost effectiveness of the hellhound is average at best. Lemon Russes are far better, beaten out only by pask and taurox primes in cost effectiveness. Tyranid carnifexes and hive tyrants are more than double per value of hellhounds, so no, they aren't really overpowered. Speaking of powerful units, the kabalite warrior squad (dark eldar) has the highest damage per point I have seen, and due to their low cost they are pretty normal in defence, for infantry.
Tom's hellhounds are probably going to wipe out Alex's troops pretty easily, so as long as they're all dead by turn 5 the tanks can grab some objectives.
Its the miss match of Alex who doesnt know the rules, and Tom that sorta does know the rules. Tom's Tanks and Hellhounds, are strong, but not OP. but they would stomp any poorly tought out list that doesnt have anti vehicle. Or any melee chud to just tie up those tanks. Leman Russ are super good on point to power ratio... when they are allowed to use their guns
Dark Eldar got inured to suffering god damn, you can make a roll if they survive a mortal wound.. *edit* of course if they stand only next to it. If they are inside during the blow up, they dont get a wound they are simply removed.

I got a question for you guys. I have been thinking of Starting to play Age of sigmar and getting a starter army kit. Do i need to undercoated first with undercoted spray first? Can i skip undercoating (with prime) it?
You can, but it's not recommended. If you don't undercoat your colours tend to be less consistent and don't 'stick' as well. Also, your paints tend to be a bit chalkier, especially layer highlights.
I wouldn't skip it, tends to look quite bad painting straight on plastic. But there is some options on the colour of undercoat sprays so if you're lucky you might not need to paint everything after spraying it.
Im going to reply both of the comments with the same answers to be nice for you for taking your time answering my question. The reason why im hesitate with the prime is that both for economic purpose but also the environment. I cant belive that the gas and particles emitting from the undercoating can is good for the enviroment. I dont have any airfilters in my house that prevent the harmful particles emitting to the air and atmosphere. (a secluded controlled environment that protect dangerously chemicals that modern day industris have today). And yes i know it might sound silly that one small can doesnt make a huge diffrent from all the polition of cars, chemical production etc but still, i dont want to help to ruin the enviroment. Every persons lifestyle matters.
You should get an airbrush and prime with that. It shouldn't have any adverse environmental effects as it's just pressurised air forcing the paint out. It'll be more expensive to set up but I guess that's the price you have to pay.
Each unit has a 'Wounds' stat that is how many wounds it can take before it dies. When a model attacks, it has to make an hit roll, then if it hits it has to make a wound roll, then the defending model gets to make a save roll based on its armour. A mortal wound doesn't necessarily kill something, it just automatically applies a wound without needing to roll to wound or for saves (And often without needing to roll to hit)
Tom...... singing.... the... battle boys..... theme.................. FUCKING TAU LOVING EMPEROR HERESY!!!! I think Tom has been replaced with a gene stealer. (Jk about the Tau if you like them)
I just got my 1.5k points of Drukhari up to 3k points and my 2.5k imperial guard (mostly infantry) also up to 3k points.. there are only so many models you can paint before you go nuts. I feel with him..
In Charlies Chocolate Factory, where Anakin Skywalker gets horribly burned after he falls into a tank with steaming hot Dark Chocolate. That's what transforms him into Vader, his black suit is actually just hardened Dark Chocolate.
i miss the painting sessions... can we have those back? i like the talking about losely related, or lore related stuff to 40k
Yes please!
I miss the "We Are the Battle Boys" song
The new song was a surprise to be sure but a welcome one.
Yes Man 4000
I know, it's twisting my melon man...
Sorry I just stole the name from Fallout new vegas.

Well now I look like a div
Let the old memes die. Kill them if you have too...
Lol Lewis getting pissed at the cables reminds me of my dad.
That was the best high five i have ever seen 23:46
Tom, you know you can get tank commanders right? so you could give the pool lagoon kid his own tank
I have terrible news about "pool" lagoon boy
It's a Supreme Command detachment with 3 Tank Commanders i think, thats why they all order themselves
also lewis is in the background switching back to normal green necrons
20:54 had me dying
Griffin Gillispie I can't hear what Duncan says before "tell that to me granpappy", did you catch it?
"One mortal wound is shit. Tell that to me granpappy"
"one mortal is not shit, tell that to my granpappy"😂😂😂
Mortal wound
Please tell me someone is assembling the Battleboys Canon. This is a rich and diverse universe and needs to be bound in the annals of history.
The main reason imperial guard are my favourite 40k army is cause of tanks cause who doesn't love tanks!
Everyone else
Alex seems a wee bit pissed off with Tom this session. Nice to finally see the tanks though!

Finally Tom's tanks woop woop!!
Finally the Emperor can teach these xenos feinds a lesson!!!
Those two are the best tabletop gamers around and in town
A long awaited battle.
I don't think Alex is mad at Tom, I think he just realised he didn't like his army anymore pretty early in...
The thumbnail is glorious.
This is the best. Alex and Tom are the most chill, jokey guys ever and I love it.
when they asked what they were fighting for I really hoped they were gonna be fighting for the last alan key from IKEA 7
Statler vs. Waldorf
God damnit Tom you made me watch plane crash videos for an hour.
Why can they never have a functioning dice cam?
WE ARE THE BATTLE BOYS
An objective game, with no troops on one side. I think Alex is going to win.
Tom's hellhounds are probably going to wipe out Alex's troops pretty easily, so as long as they're all dead by turn 5 the tanks can grab some objectives.
Dat baby shark style intro tho 😂

Alex is basically Android 13 and his trucker hat.

Whelp yeah haha seems like tom is kinda doing whatever and Alex is like ummmmmmm okay then

How does wounds work on a unit? Does it say How much a unit/ each model can take before it becomes a mortal wound and kills the models in the unit? :O
Each unit has a 'Wounds' stat that is how many wounds it can take before it dies. When a model attacks, it has to make an hit roll, then if it hits it has to make a wound roll, then the defending model gets to make a save roll based on its armour. A mortal wound doesn't necessarily kill something, it just automatically applies a wound without needing to roll to wound or for saves (And often without needing to roll to hit)
Cool thanks! :D
Also Tom not declaring all attacks at once with his tank is a bit of a no no
The new song is heresy.
duncan singing the battleboys theme in the beginning reminded of garth from waynes world jajaja
lol Tom says: 'It's the Imperium... they have been in space for 200 years...' Yeah Tom try like over 10.000 years... (In 40.000 Lore)
I think he was referring to those specific tanks
Have they ever said if they will do like season 2 of necromunda?
IS THAT MOTHER FUCKING B A B Y S H A R K
The old song was better :( More akward is more good
Tom...... singing.... the... battle boys..... theme.................. FUCKING TAU LOVING EMPEROR HERESY!!!! I think Tom has been replaced with a gene stealer. (Jk about the Tau if you like them)
This is literally game board from IT crowd
Original plan was Tom vs Sjin..but lazy ass takin his time with the models.
I just got my 1.5k points of Drukhari up to 3k points and my 2.5k imperial guard (mostly infantry) also up to 3k points.. there are only so many models you can paint before you go nuts. I feel with him..
Oswald Lorenz you're not even close to it, last week we didn't even know if he had started
Ok so Tom is pretty tall, and next to Alex, he looks kidna short. Is Alex like, 7 ft tall or what?
Just charge the Camcorder before every session
EIGHTH EDITION?!?!?
?!
30 minutes of tanks firing; how riveting
Duncan looks like he hasnt washed his hair in a few days
Also Tom is officially "that guy", also he keeps complaining about 8th edition rules being terrible when he barely knows them
17:36 aw that missed high five was cringe
Check the fucking camera battery before you start for gods sake.
Play an actual mission REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Well, I'm new
can anyone else here music in the background when the guys are talking????
Sort your shit out steve, charge up a spare battery or something mate
Thanos dies in infinity war

PureH In a duel with Darth vader
In Charlies Chocolate Factory, where Anakin Skywalker gets horribly burned after he falls into a tank with steaming hot Dark Chocolate. That's what transforms him into Vader, his black suit is actually just hardened Dark Chocolate.
