For those wondering how the Avatar of Khaine's shooting works he is literally throwing his weapon and it comes back. I read it in that one story where it killed a mountain of Tyranids.
Wasn't that the case where the Eldar where forced back, abandoning their Avatar in the process. And when they returned they spotted a mountain of dead Nids, which then erupted as the Avatar buried under it(which it did so it could hide itself) rejoined the fray.
I love the cinemtic value of calling out to the community for a donated army just as the deathwatch are effectively "donated" in their recruitment from the various chapters. It was pretty cool.
I don't know. I thought they weren't allowed to be reinforced due to their penance crusade. At one point they had under 50 Marines or something & were last heard fighting a Hive Fleet, sooooooo
Nick: "Last time I left my units too exposed so this time i'll hide them so they wont be shot off first turn" *Proceeds to move and completely expose his Shining spears out in the open* I mean they technically died turn 2!

Bravo to Play On Tabletop for putting up this game, and great job by the community for compiling such a beautiful DW army. I'd love to see Tak go re-evaluate his options (so many cool models to choose from!), and win round 2, he played amazing and everyone knows DW is sub-standard at the moment but this is a great time to experiment (was nice to see that here)! Great game... and what beautiful custom work on that Watch Master! Way to pull out the 'V' at the end Nick, that was a solid Aeldari showing, hope to see more Aeldari in the future... was a brawl.
Very awesome battle. My buddy just got me hooked on war hammer and I’ve chosen the Aeldari as my race. I just got my first figures and started putting them together before work today lol. I love these battles but I can’t find many of them on Arldari. This one was fantastic and very very close.
Wow I just realized how easily you could use fake aquarium foliage for a really immersive natural landscape type battlefield. You could get all alien with it with all the neons and glow in the darks too. And they're really cheap. That's cool.
Hard to tell from the game play and dice rolls, did Dak ever remember to reroll 1's to wound vs the unit types he chose for the Xenos Hunters Chapter Tactic and the Aquila specialism. Also hard to tell if he remembered that vs. Elites (Dominatus specialism) and vs Troops (Furor specialism). He shot the Wraithguard plenty, so that should have at least applied the Dominatus specialism for that one Proteus Kill Team correct?
I love the look and theme of the Playon Deathwatch army! ... I just wish that the Deathwatch was a little more powerful. :-/ It's weird that Tak started out so commanding, and Nick got such a high score.
Nick, you had a lot of cp, should've used lightning fast reactions. I love to see a wraith heavy list :) I don't run many in my ulthwe, but they are super cool
Always add more PointBreakachans... But thanks. Great work as always. I have burnt out of Marines since 5th. Glory to the Gaaawwwwddddd!!! Eldar will always scare me. But lasguns for the win....
I still find it ironic that the Black Templar won against the Eldar, but the Deathwatch Ordo Xenos specialist themselves lost. Still what a great game to watch.
He offered a prayer to the God Emperor in an Astra Militarum game and the prayer was answered, and he offered up the T'au in exchange for a specific result. It is a joke though and he will get back to T'au soon.
The Dscythe weapon has the "blast" keyword and "blast" by RAW rules cannot be shot in engagement so this is how we played it in this game. I think the "Construct" rule may be for the other weapon load out though it does seem a little strange.
Guys is it just the way you’re sitting it here but the D-Scythes look like they’re auto hitting like flamers (Nick calls them that haha) but they still need a hit roll?
@@PlayOnTabletop oh I see. I call them the same, it's just I didnt notice you rolling to hit so assumed you were playing that way. I only found out about 2 months back that it was changed but in the interest of fairness brought it to light.
I was kinda joking when I wrote that but I just watched the rest of the video. This is actually a bit ridiculous. These armies have cool stratagems. Would have been nice to see them instead of endless boring re-rolls.

@@stuartstremmelaar8154 Yeah but I don't think it was hiding though it just got buried in the corpses it was making.
@@stripeybag6977 fair point, I should read it again... Once I can reach the book again
I thought this was kinda like a getsuga tensho type of move
Still grimly funny how the avatar gets nerfed as soon as he comes into contact with a human or chaos character

39:50 "Was that the last Lamenter?"
No, Guilliman gave them a bunch of Primaris marines. So the Lamenters live to _suffer_ another day.
I don't know. I thought they weren't allowed to be reinforced due to their penance crusade. At one point they had under 50 Marines or something & were last heard fighting a Hive Fleet, sooooooo
Dr. Rhino's Alderi are absolutely gorgeous! Great match!
That was THE greatest comeback this channel has ever seen!
Nick: "Last time I left my units too exposed so this time i'll hide them so they wont be shot off first turn"
*Proceeds to move and completely expose his Shining spears out in the open*
I mean they technically died turn 2!
I wish I could paint on this level. My painting is what I would call table playable at best. The community painting is amazing. Love the content.
Practice practice practice, I currently suck at painting, so I'm looking forward to the day I'll be table playable quality.
Me to for sure ..
The painting on that eldar wraith guard is acc ridiculous. That scheme is beautiful
12:00 The look on Nick's face when he discards that secondary is priceless.
It was a beautiful play and great match from all.
40K Poker move
Love that Avatar of Khaine smashing through the stuff! Hope he'll return
I demand more Imperial Guard Nick
*we demand
*The Emperor demands
#living for games that JT describes as “slobberknockers” and “barnburners”. No better words to describe this killer of a game
As if one could not love Nick more he now plays Eldar 💜💜💜 May the bloody hand of Khaine help you roll the best dice!

@@guerrillavanilla I posted this at the start of the stream, as I had watched the early access. Also, the length of a game can give a lot away
Dayum those Wraith units look amazing! Well done Dr. Rhino. Would love a tutorial on how to paint them.
A lovely watch! both armies are fantastically painted!
can't wait to see more Aeldari making an appearance as they are painted.
This is such a good battle. At first I thought Nick was gonna lose but after the third Turn Nick was just plowing through Taks Deathwatch
Wow what a match! I just love how you guys edit your games, you're the best out there.

Great Game! Always great to see Tak and Nick!
Now those are some really nice models, shoutout to the community!

I totally counted nick out at the start, this is the textbook definition of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat! Amazing game!
Iyanden my dearly beloved
tau cheating
This was a great game and great match concept. Thanks for including the community in the battle. Love the work you folks do! Keep it up!
What a game - best report you guys have done (and that’s a ludicrously high bar)!
That watch master man something to behold very slick paint scheme the aeldari squad is beautiful as well
I think Nick just found his new favorite army. He clearly enjoyed himself more than usual, if that was even possible
Nick, I need to thank you for fielding the LITERAL LIST I'm working on painting.
Happy to help!
That was an awesome game! WoW! Well done Play On Tabletop!
Loved the game both beautiful arms. Love me some eldar!!
community games are rad as heck 10/10
Great game! @Nick - maybe think about putting those Wraithblades in Wave Serpents? x3 Shuriken Cannons on those bad boys are no joke either
Will need to look at getting some
Love that eldar paint job.
Nick has elite level sportsmanship!
Great game, left the scoring late but the use of Avatar was great! Love your work, amazing armies.
Loved this game super cool armies and it’s making me want to pick up Elves. They have been super interesting in the last couple games
Finally DEATHWATCH! Thank you guys!
That battle was wild... what a turnaround at the final bell!
Very awesome battle. My buddy just got me hooked on war hammer and I’ve chosen the Aeldari as my race. I just got my first figures and started putting them together before work today lol. I love these battles but I can’t find many of them on Arldari. This one was fantastic and very very close.
DAAAMN that was an awesome game! Love these eldar!
Tak is the best player on the internet
the pattern on the eldar was so cool.
Tak-tical Genius move with that objective swap >_
Im biased, for both sides. How did this happen.
GG.
Wild Game.
Those Eldar being tough is so weird.
Those armies are amazing & beautifully painted as well. I would love to see a Tau army painted with such love!
Wow I just realized how easily you could use fake aquarium foliage for a really immersive natural landscape type battlefield. You could get all alien with it with all the neons and glow in the darks too. And they're really cheap. That's cool.
Ummm so considering the armies how much of point gap do you all think we'll get? A trench, a canyon or the Great Rift in favor of Eldar?
Ironic, it was a very close game. Although that was 100% down to taks skill in psyching out nick.
Holy Emperor that watch captain took and absolutely metric ton of damage to finally finish him off
Dr.Rhino is that man !
40K in 40mins is the best battle report series on TH-cam
Flawless victory, FATALITY
You know you're awesome and you've made it when you can convince your paying audience to send you models they bought and painted themselves.
Tip for Nick, try using Ulthwé as your craftworld selection. Improves defence SO much
great game. Tak's outmaneuvering had me worried for Nick in the beginning. Strands of Fate wins games!
Absolutely SICK game.
I want to know how to make that freaking deathwatch watch master he's so sick
THAT WAS AMAZING!
Great to see the deathwatch and they very much seem like a taktikal army
Not necessarily bad just take a lot of skill to master
TauNick is dead, Long live the EldarNick
Why not both? :D
Yesss more Craftworld Aeldari please :3
Absolutly Stellar Game!
Really exciting game!
This has to be the most command rerolls I've ever seen in one game.
What a comeback!
Nick Dreadnought nooooo!!!! he had a family !!
If I’ve learned anything from facing eldar too many times, you either have to outspeed or match their speed or out think the player.
That Deathwatch army has a lot of dreads and other vehicles. An mostly vehicles army would be cool.
Will look into that for next time. We did receive a number of dreadnoughts, tanks, and flyers
the edit today is DOPE
Hard to tell from the game play and dice rolls, did Dak ever remember to reroll 1's to wound vs the unit types he chose for the Xenos Hunters Chapter Tactic and the Aquila specialism. Also hard to tell if he remembered that vs. Elites (Dominatus specialism) and vs Troops (Furor specialism). He shot the Wraithguard plenty, so that should have at least applied the Dominatus specialism for that one Proteus Kill Team correct?
We often cannot show or keep all the declarations in about rerolls though yes, Tak did remember and was rerolling everything that was eligible.
Nick is fun using any army, but we need a rematch to earn him another game with his Tau. For the greater good!
I love the look and theme of the Playon Deathwatch army! ... I just wish that the Deathwatch was a little more powerful. :-/ It's weird that Tak started out so commanding, and Nick got such a high score.
Nick, you had a lot of cp, should've used lightning fast reactions.
I love to see a wraith heavy list :) I don't run many in my ulthwe, but they are super cool
Wraith lord Nick?
We are adding "lord" to his title now?
@@PlayOnTabletop with a comeback like that, I'd say he deserves it!
wow this was a fun game.
Well done.
This is a rad event
So does T-shirt = Tak-shirt? Love you guys and all you do!
Um... probably not but I don't know what the popular opinion on this is...
@@PlayOnTabletop Tak-tical-shirts for his Tak-tical squads?
Love the intro video
It's weird that Tau Nick being killed by Tau Nick didn't result in an explosion...
What an amazing game!
Always add more PointBreakachans... But thanks. Great work as always. I have burnt out of Marines since 5th. Glory to the Gaaawwwwddddd!!! Eldar will always scare me. But lasguns for the win....
I still find it ironic that the Black Templar won against the Eldar, but the Deathwatch Ordo Xenos specialist themselves lost. Still what a great game to watch.
Once again the Mon - keigh are cut down by Suin Daelle.
Pause at exactly 6:01 😂
Carl Baker might be an alpha legion player in 40k!
LOL! Didn't notice till you said something
So close great game
Is it just me or did he never use unparalleled foresight for him missed hits and wounds?
Sooooo, when you will be gathering chaos warband for our beloved Warmaster Steve?
We have a lot of Chaos stuff on its way to the studio
Why are the chapter markers blank and orange?
I did not see nick winning. I thought for sure tak was going to win
I feel like Season Not 3 has run longer than any other season to date now. Is it time for Season 4?
Great game and all. But why Nick cant play tau anymore :( ?
He offered a prayer to the God Emperor in an Astra Militarum game and the prayer was answered, and he offered up the T'au in exchange for a specific result. It is a joke though and he will get back to T'au soon.
44:39 can't wraithguard shoot into melee making that a wasted comand point?
The Dscythe weapon has the "blast" keyword and "blast" by RAW rules cannot be shot in engagement so this is how we played it in this game. I think the "Construct" rule may be for the other weapon load out though it does seem a little strange.
@@PlayOnTabletop somehow I confounded the weapons. Probably a good thing I'm not a eldar player.
Hey how do I get that shield drone shirt it looks so cool
It’s from deadly print studios
Guys is it just the way you’re sitting it here but the D-Scythes look like they’re auto hitting like flamers (Nick calls them that haha) but they still need a hit roll?
Those wraith flamers are not flamers anymore. They are blast weapons that deal mortals on a 6.
And they do work!
@@PlayOnTabletop well the rules don't state that it automatically hits target.
@@devastator06 Yes, we were calling them that from the old edition. Looks like they may have been hitting just slightly too hard.
@@PlayOnTabletop oh I see.
I call them the same, it's just I didnt notice you rolling to hit so assumed you were playing that way.
I only found out about 2 months back that it was changed but in the interest of fairness brought it to light.
Must be a record for most command re rolls in a game.
I was kinda joking when I wrote that but I just watched the rest of the video. This is actually a bit ridiculous. These armies have cool stratagems. Would have been nice to see them instead of endless boring re-rolls.
Wait, why can’t he play the Tau anymore? Am not really caught up on war hammer events
