The groan from Spider when Beard knocked the terrain. 😂 I had to go back to watch it again to make sure I heard it right. I gotta imagine he’s thinking “what amateurs…”
GSC did have a moment when they were very good, it was that one summer when Custodes with 3x Caladius tanks were running around, then they ate a bunch of points increases and stuff IIRC
@@stofosaurus The codex is awesome but the previews were not. The brood brothers are constricted and nerfed. They called the mining laser an upgraded while the weapon is exactly the same. (New strats do make them better but they didn't preview that)
GSC are thematically such a cool army. The way they play so differently from other armies really emphasizes how it's essentially an army of irregulars, and it's really easy to see Chef's enthusiasm! These battle reports make saturday morning paint sessions so much more relaxing, and with each book release, we get that much closer to the Aeldari codex :^)
Movement phases might feel like boring "content" but it is very very helpful as a viewer to keep the battlemap in my head and all it's moving parts. Thank you for it's inclusion.
Love to see movement phase getting covered now, I always felt that lead to a disconnect (for me) and also an important opportunity to explain strategy at a scale that I can put in to context. I think you're finding that balance between say.... 40k40m and Titans which is a rich vein. Oh and the score ticker needs to be orientated to where the players are standing relative to camera. Left was cults even tho Beard was left of camera. Thanks for all your work x
Glad you enjoyed! The score ticker is left to right for turn 1 and turn 2, but we could look at how tricky it would be to implement it for player sides if enough people want it!
I only get to catch these sparingly and I'm not used happy fun time Chef. Getting to see more I proclaim Beard to be an Imperial Vectus God Emperor Class titan for the way he is destroying that scenery.
Tired: destroying terrain using the Excavate planning bonus Wired: destroying terrain by physically whacking it when you're having fun This was a blast to watch, so excited for both of these armies :)
i just want to say the paint job on those Custodes is amazing! I saw this paint scheme and literally cant wait to order the combat patrol now. i will be using your army as inspiration!
There may be two reasons for the Custodes Helmets. 1. Back in Rogue Trader Era where they had removed their Armor, the only piece of Armor they kept was their Helmets. These Helmets were supposed to host a huge array of sensor and most importantly shielding technology that may simply have required certain space to be houses. 2. It imitates the Grenadier Hats and those of the Horse Guards which are british Regiments still tasked with the protection of the Royal Family.
You guys are really hitting your strides with improving content. More information? Check. Showing movement phase? Check. Better infographics? Check. Explaining rules as you go? Check. Pacing? Check. Banter? Check. Having fun? CHECK.
I really dislike the design of stratagems that focus on "removing the abilities of the other player" rather than proactively doing things. They should be fun to use for both sides, not like the Custodes ones which just say "Oh, you're using re-rolls? No." and "Oh, you're boosting your damage? No." I get that they're supposed to be strong and all, but there are ways to be strong without essentially gimping the other player's ability to use their own army book.
While I dont play them, I really like the idea and concept behind GSC. I think it's pretty cool. And I enjoy seeing anyone genuinely excited playing an army.
Beard knocking over all the terrain is very relatable as someone who also seems to clip building with every gesture. Makes me think I should start an army of Tyranid bio-Titans to suit my capacity for knocking over buildings
Probably two of my least favorite armies in 40k but wow that was one of the best batreps I’ve ever seen. Such a laugh and a joy to watch well done on a great game guys
Man, I can't wait to get both of these codexes. My Custodes srmy is fairly small, but I have enough GNC for 4 armies, lol. Plus I still have shadow throne to build, which im going to do this week. Can't wait to get both armies on the table. Thankfully Thursdays and Sundays are Warhammer night in my games room, and my friend is coming to play against my custodes Saturday afternoon (easier to make a quick custodes army than GNC, ill need a few days with them.
Insane amount of fantastic quality content dropped this weekend guys. HUGE props! Keep up the amazing work! Love the enthusiasm, always a good day when Chef and Beard are duking it out.
I don‘t know if somebody already answered it, but the Custodian Guard have these cone shaped helmets, because they embed their shield generators in it. It is much more advanced then a regular shield generator, which is why it takes up so much space. It is stated in the old lore and hasn‘t been changed since then, if i‘m correct
Gotta love the “this text is now editable, double click to edit, uncheck before rendering.” 😂 Love your stuff guys keep up the good work! (This is not sarcastic)
Very enjoyable to watch, and I don't even play either army. It was interesting to hear Chef say how he like being able to move and advance and fire at full effect. I'm so looking forward to doing the same thing with Tau under Mont'ka.
The reason for the pointy helmets is very simple: Bouncing! The helmets, while mostly decorative, are also very angled, which allow bullets to ricochet off the armor [Which is something the custodian guard routinely manipulates to their advantage] And it most likely also serves as psychological warfare AND counter-intelligence, as it makes them look even taller and menacing, while also hiding the true position of their head and considering 99% of the people in the galaxy don't know what a custodian's proportions are, they might at the very least hesitate as to where to shoot, which, custodians being custodians, essentially turns the fight to their advantage
@@te9591 Shooting at custodian armor in the chest is the equivalent of shooting peas at someone wearing full tac gear, if you're gonna shoot, you might as well try and hit the head
Siege Studio knocked it out of the park with that Custodes army. It is simply be-au-ti-ful, it's full of beauty should I even dare say. Thanks for the tremendous amount of work put into the guides and multiple videos for pre-order day lads. We can't, as a community, thank you enough - other than subscribing to On Demand for even more TT goodness. [Redacted] I was not paying attention to the class and failed the test eheh.
@@thepastrychef8014 My bad, definitely missed that he was in melee, I thought it was some kind of shooting against the other Grinder behind the ruin. I shall repent and pay more attention next time ! Discard what I said then, hopefully we're all good. 😅
Now that is one hell of a battle report. It is great that you tried to display as much options from the Codexes as possible and to showcase how things work. It would have been cool for Custodes to have at least one Sisters unit to showcase how they synergize now, but otherwise, great job.
1:13:58 iknow you said you wished it wiped the unit, but man the idea of that dude just stepping out the rubble, pulling out his six-shooter and smooth as hell just ONE SHOT ONE KILL on a CUSTODES is fucking amazing. that's some Spaghetti Western shit
Love the metal intro gentleman. Reminds me of the old games shot in beardscope. 6 or 7 years from now when the CSM codex releases im gonna need yall to film us an Iron Warriors bat rep with a similar metal intro. 🤘
I've been really enjoying these battle reports recently, and especially the bloopers/highlights at the end. Speaking of which, would you guys ever consider bloopers videos either as Shorts, or an occasional extra video when you've got loads of clips?
I’m new to Warhammer and would love to play the tabletop game. Shows like these are exceedingly entertaining and a great learning experience for us trying to to join in.
Great game! Lots of big moments and I think you showed off quite a few new rules, which is always fun! I also really enjoy seeing 2 new armies go against each other rather than 1 with a new book and another that has an older book or no new book. :)
The new custodes at nasty af (and that’s a good thing xD) Literally they bring to life the energy of: GSC: Drop your weapons you’re surrounded Custodes: All I’m surrounded by is fear and dead men
Bit of a weird question but in turn 2 when the allarus terminators, vexilla and captain charged was the ridgerunner's flare launcher -2" to charges forgotten from the captains charge? I think the roll was a 9 ( 3 + 6 ), he just was deepstriked in so he would of been 9" away and 7" shouldn't get him within 1" of the ridgerunners.
Absolutely zoggin lotz 'n lotz goin on with these 2 Codex's! Was taken aback by all that'd happened & yet, it was only goin into Turn 2!!! Love it!!! Blaster was here... & as an old Ork Warlord [back to 2nd edition], more than a bit jealous of all the kunninly brutal & brutally kunnin thematic-ness'ing goin on!
If you guys dimmed the lights and used pads for rules and had lights positioned on the dice rolling areas you could effect table top lighting to a high standard with lights positioned in and on terrain.
To help answer your question about Vertus / Vexilus Praetors and why they share a name: Praetor was a Roman rank, so I suspect it's simply to designate them as more senior troops. It's not a perfect use of the word as Praetor was a high ranking elected official, not a military rank, but I suspect it's used to refer to the Praetorian Guard who were their (and the Emperor's) bodyguard, as well as being more senior soldiers. Really this should refer to all Custodes, but I think here is intended to confer seniority over 'normal' custodian guard, like a lieutenant or sergeant (or in Warhammer how Tau crisis suits are shas'ui). Vexilus means a banner, so a senior soldier / bodyguard holding a banner. Vertus I would guess is meant to refer to them flying, vertex meaning something high or turning in Latin, though it more directly translates as a form of masculine/brave virtue (virtus more commonly, though it has been spelled vertus, which I suspect is not the intended meaning here).
I really love the bright silver accented with gold and purple for the custodes. Bright. Clean. Crisp. But not too in your face or gaudy like the gold. Now, don't get me wrong, I love my gimmicky golden garbage, but this is just really pleasant on the eyes which gold can...not be, sometimes. Also love some of these GSC rules like crossfire and exposed. I would love to play GSC, but my brain lacks the necessary wrinkles so I know I just have a lot of trouble with my ADHD brain.
If you are open to screen organization suggestions, I find the dice screen center bottom screen annoying. It covers up the table and the action. Top right or left corner would leave the table open for viewing.
Praetor is just a roman rank for individuals with both military official capacities and magistrate. So Vexilus Praetor compared to Vertus Praetor is just the manner of which they have been assigned their tasks. There might be another obscure custodian lore fact about these. But if the latin namesakes have any importance it would simply mean that all of these units are just one step beneath a consul a.k.a a magistrate.
Those Custodies are B.E.A.UTIFUL!!! Can you post the color scheme/recipe? Would be very interested in trying to replicate for the Tabletop Tactics Shield Host. Great battle report all around and Spider's few but every present dad jokes are just...."Chef's kiss"
*Sees new codex Custodes vs GSC Battlereport* Awesome the guys did it again. *Both lists have as much new stuff as possible* OK guys, you're spoiling me. *Beard demonstrates his epic stances* .... BY TEH EMPRAH, MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.

Not as funny as when you litterately saw Chef die inside, when Lawrence made his "vexing" joke. That man has dad-humor down to an art
This editing, the tables, the banter, absolutely killing it guys
As a GSC player who was also extremely disheartened by their book throughout 9e, I'm SO excited seeing Chef happy with the new book!
I'm very much looking forward to using the Cults more!
GSC did have a moment when they were very good, it was that one summer when Custodes with 3x Caladius tanks were running around, then they ate a bunch of points increases and stuff IIRC
Why were you disheartened? All the leaks have been awesome. The codex has definetly changed for the better.
@@stofosaurus they said "all throughout 8th" meaning past tense :)
@@stofosaurus The codex is awesome but the previews were not. The brood brothers are constricted and nerfed. They called the mining laser an upgraded while the weapon is exactly the same. (New strats do make them better but they didn't preview that)
Two codex videos and a batrep pulled together and posted in the same morning? Herculean effort folks - are YOU Custodes?! 💪😁
Only the emperor’s finest here 🤩
Only possible if you can see into the warp
No, they are patriarchs.
Easy,It was a plan generation's in the making
Win or lose, Chef definitely had more fun with this. He was the closest thing I think I’ve seen to a kid on Christmas playing 40k with this new book.
They're a blast to play with!
@@thepastrychef8014 I definitely think the removal of the CP reroll makes for a funnier game.

It's not boring, btw, I was making a guess as to why it wasn't shown previously.
Thank you! Took a while to figure out how to make it interesting.
Massive props to the sheer volume of content dropped this weekend, squad. You've made this old tin soldier rather pleased!
You can't dislike the energy of Beard and Chef together. Looking forward to seeing more GSC!
💪
Chef and Beard have such great chemistry and it's always a pleasure to experience.
We’re he Warhammer power couple.
Good job Chef, learning all the new GC rules and remembering quite well.
And good job with the sound effects guys.

Real difference in Chef when he has an army (that mostly works); good batrep, glad to see the armies are fun. Happier gamers make for better games.
Been looking forward to this one for a long time. Long may the cult prosper. Hope Chef will be playing them more now.
I think the Cult have him. They’ll be back soon!

Gold tier level dad joke from Spider! Great to see that you're enjoying the army Chef, Genestealer cults have needed a helping hand for a long time.
2:02 Chef yelling "HE PULLED HIMSELF OFF". That got me. Priceless!
I have to insist, the best named weapon by far might be "Endless Fury" , the Knights special Avenger Gatling Gun. Devastating as well!
I just love how fun you have while playing, this is probably the thing that makes me want to play the most!
Cheers guys!
Whoever edited this. Did a lot of very good work. Fun match to watch.

While I dont play them, I really like the idea and concept behind GSC. I think it's pretty cool. And I enjoy seeing anyone genuinely excited playing an army.
I think a lot of people will enjoy them now. New book is great.
Chef's description of Reckless Demolitions might well be the best thing to come out of this channel in forever.
This tree some brings tears to my eyes. Thx guys and gals
