@@PlayOnTabletop yeah i guess, i just like the regular format better. Would be cool with 2000pts 2v2 (1kpoints per player) with some cool story around it and played on your awesome terrain that you build.
@@jonathanrobertson95 Or possibly have Mr Initiative and James Jones (Chris Jones's Son) team vs Tak and Chris Jones. 2 Orc armies vs 2 Space Marines armies.
funnily enough iirc death guard were winning tournaments back when mortarian was released. now silent kind is the hot new army commander needing to be sold and low and behold necrons are the strongest competitive army currently
Man, what a great video! I really love seeing Michael's necrons in these battle reports, he's got such a beautiful colour scheme. Very entertaining as always, you guys are the absolute pros at high quality batreps
michael, im a newer necron player and i've been wayching you and watson over the last 6 months and you've pretty much taught me how to really use my necrons, keep it up!!! i use a very similar list to this one. long live the king!
Michael is my favorite player on the show. Not many people play Xenos like the Necron and I love his dedication to his favorite unit (Watson) despite it not being an optimal choice. That’s exactly how I’d play with my army (if I could play this game). Fun trumps winning, that’s why I love Grey Knights and Necrons.
My main force are Necron and my friend runs Death Guard so this was extra exciting to see. Tycho has such great sportsmanship, great guy and would love to play him one day
25:05 love Michael so much! Can’t wait to see him on the channel again. Also where’s Nik when you need him? This game had so many impactful explosions!
I’m pretty new to tabletop and my favorite game so far has been facing a death guard player with my Necrons. It was filled with every twist and turn imaginable and I was able to make some really great rolls and Reanimations that got me the win.
I love when you have Necrons on! I really want to have a 2v2 with Michael and my Necrons on a team. I love when hes on and he plays a killer game with his Crons.
legitimately awesome game. really close and slick stuff. love these super tough armies that really drag it out. also good narration by steve! thanks guys, play on
I am really into the lore and novels of 40k but have never found a channel that made it easy to get into the game before now. Great commentary and production. So happy I found this channel!
A few rules mistakes here and there but a fun watch regardless! For reference: 1) Techno-Cloak heals in the Movement phase, not Command Phase. Doesn't usually make a different as it tends to stick to one or two units anyway. In this case, as the LHD has 2W it would heal 1 for LM and then auto heal one from the Techno so there was no need to roll. 2) Whirling Onslaught makes you -1 to Wound, not Hit, although I think Steve just got them mixed up. It does *sound* like it should make you -1 to Hit. 3) TSK MAKES YOU FIGHT LAST! Could have made a difference.
Yeah it's real frustrating watching someone forget a massive rule for a Supreme Commander like that. Morty woulda been bracketed by the time he got to swing on that second charge for sure.
I literally just played my first game of Warhammer and won! It was a small 500points game, I was using my death guard ( my opponent his Astra Militarum), and during gameplay I couldn't help but to thinking if the Necrons might be better for what I want out of gameplay. This'll be the perfect match to help me decide!! Edit: Oh yea, It's thanks to your channel I became interested and hoped on board with the hobby, so thank you guys! I loved learning and I can't wait for many more games personally played, and watched here!😋
I could have sworn I saw a battle similar to this at the end of last year. This was an amazingly close game. This is what 40k should be. Still waiting for Space Marine Steve vs Chaos Marine Steve in a mustache narrated by Steve. And if we can work in Stormtrooper Steve, I'll take it!
Letting you know when the Daemon Prince charged at 23:45, charges DO NOT ignore vertical distances, even if you have fly. They rolled a 9" on the charge, depending on the distance and the crate's height, it is looking like a risky 10" or something like that. Everyone seems to always forget that charges do not ignore vertical movement, lol. "If a unit’s datasheet has the FLY keyword, then when it makes a charge move, its models can be moved across other models (and their bases) as if they were not there, but they must move over terrain features (including BUILDING units) like any other model. A model that can FLY cannot finish any move on top of another model." - Core Rules, Flying when Charging. This means the Daemon prince, to move down, would need to move the distance of his base, and the height distance of the crate, THEN move within 1" of the models as well. Its very rough, and most likely a failed charge. This also applies to Mortarian, but TSK was within 1" of the edge of that building, meaning he did not have to move down to engage them. Kinda rough mechanic, but I see SO many channels do it wrong.
yo, stranger here, i appreciate you taking the time and effort for that write up that was well written and as a casual player that's a good piece of info to know aboutn
As someone interested in the idea of starting to collect, I was stuck between the necrons & the death guard. This video definitely gave some clarification on that end showing the different possible playstyles. Leaning towards the death guard.
I think I have a little crush on tycho xD Hes just so infectiously friendly, has incredible sportsmanship and seems to take everything in stride! I love seeing him in your videos
I'm just getting to this one and I can't believe it took me this long. This was one of you guys best videos imo it was a close knuckle drag brawl from start to finish and the game itself was just great to watch. Keep up your amazing channel!
This is such an incredible channel - every episode has been just so fun. These two are two of my favorite players as well. I cannot wait to see what's next!
Mike, fellow Necron player here. Completely agree, we do not have great anti tank. Lokhust heavy destroyers is probably our best bet. The doomsday ark really is just a distraction when playing against experienced players.
Yeah, I was wondering about that, and checking if Mortarion had anything to counteract Silent King's fights last. Maybe there's something we're missing
as i play both of these armies this was a great watch i need to grab more necrons but the chimes of the death bells call to me and say " more pox my child nurgle's favor calls to you "
Tycho has some of the best sportsmanship I’ve ever seen in a man. Mad respect.
He's a great guy! Love playing him
What about a woman?
Gonna play my first games with my brother soon, trying to mentally prep myself to be like Tycho. The dice will do what the dice will do.
I think this is how it should be, getting excited for your and your friends rolls 😊
It's always nice to see a fellow necron player, and Watson is always a highlight of any game. I have two doomsday arks of my own, Pain & Panic.
XD summarizes the damage dealing necron situation perfectly
@@av1111 very true lol at least that's how I feel about them
Coming, your most lugubriousness!
@@RandomPoolGuy84 And Zeus, Mr.Bigshot, Mr. Hey Get Off My Cloud.
2 of my cutist for my night lord army are called pain and panic too lol
Watson the legend, who came out swinging in the tempest of war proving his worth
Two of my favourite Supreme command units going head to head. This is going to be EPIC!
And it was!
Totally agree. Mortarius and Watson are worth each other.
🤢
@@antongrigoryev6381 I see the disrespect, silent king is good too. If you roll right.
But Watson is a legend.
Wow, what an exiting game. The cards really make the game fun and unpredictable. Still waiting for a 2v2 game on this channel.
We’ve done more than a couple with our apocalypse series!
@@PlayOnTabletop yeah i guess, i just like the regular format better. Would be cool with 2000pts 2v2 (1kpoints per player) with some cool story around it and played on your awesome terrain that you build.
Space marine Steve and tak vs tau nick and Mr initiative would be epic
@@jonathanrobertson95 Or possibly have Mr Initiative and James Jones (Chris Jones's Son) team vs Tak and Chris Jones. 2 Orc armies vs 2 Space Marines armies.
@@peterengstrom5415 y'all salty lmao you wanted 2v2 the creator replied and they DID do 2v2 it was perfectly done lmfao foh
This is easily one of the top playon battle reports. So amazing and close. Well play good sirs!
Fantastic play. I thought, going in to this, that the Death Guard would have it in the bag, but this proves that it comes down to scoring objectives.
in the new rules of 9e, necrons are actually amazing at just outliving opponents and winning on points.
necrons op at point scoring. army doesnt need to be nerfed just their secondaries
funnily enough iirc death guard were winning tournaments back when mortarian was released. now silent kind is the hot new army commander needing to be sold and low and behold necrons are the strongest competitive army currently
Play on's editing is really what makes them stand out. Keep it up guys!
Man, what a great video!
I really love seeing Michael's necrons in these battle reports, he's got such a beautiful colour scheme.
Very entertaining as always, you guys are the absolute pros at high quality batreps
michael, im a newer necron player and i've been wayching you and watson over the last 6 months and you've pretty much taught me how to really use my necrons, keep it up!!! i use a very similar list to this one. long live the king!
Hey Man that so cool to hear! I hope you will continue to hear the wail of your foes.
You better believe when Michael shows up with his Necrons, it’s going to be a must see match.
Wow, what a close game! Literally came down to the last play to decide it all. Michael vs Tycho really delivered 👏
Michael is my favorite player on the show. Not many people play Xenos like the Necron and I love his dedication to his favorite unit (Watson) despite it not being an optimal choice. That’s exactly how I’d play with my army (if I could play this game). Fun trumps winning, that’s why I love Grey Knights and Necrons.
Gotta say I love Steve's style as the commentator. Nice energy
I only saw this battle now, but I am so happy that my beloved Necrons got a spot in the limelight on my birthday
And again a really good batrep, Thx Play on Team. Greetings from Germany.
Tycho may not have planned to have 7cp to start but Papa Nurgle definitely did
What a legendary battle, really liking the tempest of war format. You continue to be the best battle reports out their.
Tycho always brings me so much joy And Michael with my favorite necron boyys and watson these 2 always have great games !
Undoubtedly one of the best matches on the channel, this was superb!
“….Don’t tell Watson.” Best line 😂😂😂
Steve got yall the thumbs up before bed even finished his intro. Man I love this channel
My main force are Necron and my friend runs Death Guard so this was extra exciting to see. Tycho has such great sportsmanship, great guy and would love to play him one day
25:05 love Michael so much! Can’t wait to see him on the channel again.
Also where’s Nik when you need him? This game had so many impactful explosions!
I'm glad that Steve laughs as hard as I do when Scarabs die horribly.
I like both armies about evenly and there both really good factions. This looks like a great battle
I’m pretty new to tabletop and my favorite game so far has been facing a death guard player with my Necrons. It was filled with every twist and turn imaginable and I was able to make some really great rolls and Reanimations that got me the win.
Awesome job Michael, Tycho, Steve and the rest of the Play On Tabletop team and thanks for the fantastic game!
Micheal is definitely my favourite as I play necrons, but the respect u have to give to Tycho for being such a good sportsman
I love when you have Necrons on! I really want to have a 2v2 with Michael and my Necrons on a team. I love when hes on and he plays a killer game with his Crons.
Wow, what an ending! I thought it was over early. Both of them are damn good strategists
This was epic! Loved watching Watson get it done once again, my boy!
That was possibly the best 40k 40m video I've ever seen so close epic moments and that ending was climactic
really epic battle and one of the best game for Micheal and as always top tier game from Tycho. thx for Steve commentary, heretically appropriated :)
legitimately awesome game. really close and slick stuff. love these super tough armies that really drag it out. also good narration by steve! thanks guys, play on
That was an amazing game! I can't believe I hadn't seen it before. Go Bots!
I am really into the lore and novels of 40k but have never found a channel that made it easy to get into the game before now. Great commentary and production. So happy I found this channel!
What a great game guys. Such good sportsmanship and wonderful to see Watson doing what he was made to do. Keep up your awesome battle reports.

Yeah it's real frustrating watching someone forget a massive rule for a Supreme Commander like that. Morty woulda been bracketed by the time he got to swing on that second charge for sure.
nerd moment
The Necrons also don't get command protocols because they don't have a noble unit. Right?
@@teemink Yeah but by the time TSK bit it I don't think he was using protocols
Watson also wasn't -1 to hit shooting into combat against Morty, as the Flayer Arrays are Rapid Fire and not Heavy weapons.
NECRONS!!! 💀💀💀 I was on the edge of my seat! Let's go Michael!! Still love you Tyco!
Oh, man, what a close game! Those MORAL wounds were deadly! Such great content, guys! Thanks a lot!!
Its actually finnaly in 40min great job guys.
Awsome bat rep. The editing in this is just incredible
Yessss!!! Back to 40 minute Battle Reports! Thank you Play On Tabletop. :)
That final kill, was a sour taste... but damn sweet to see! 🤘🏼🔥

Your welcome! Glad to see it!
Love seeing the two armies I own match up against each other. Wish Watson wasn't so swingy, but always fun to have Michael on the channel.
What an explosive game, Mike and Tycho are two very wonderful players to see clash on the channel.
Wow that’s was such a good game! I loved the match up, the commentary, the players and the board! Keep it up guys!
hyped to see necrons smashing some warped bois
Watching Michael is what inspired me to pick my first faction, what a glorious battle
Join the legion!
I could have sworn I saw a battle similar to this at the end of last year. This was an amazingly close game. This is what 40k should be.
Still waiting for Space Marine Steve vs Chaos Marine Steve in a mustache narrated by Steve. And if we can work in Stormtrooper Steve, I'll take it!
But also 40k in 40 hours, with total 40k points!
What a game! That Watson just keeps the surprises coming. That auto explode at the end. Just wow.

That was actually the best game I’ve watched.

Best format on the net! Thank you once again for an amazing 40k in 40min
that was epic fun !! total joy to watch, greatings from germany, you guys have fans all around the world!
I think I have a little crush on tycho xD
Hes just so infectiously friendly, has incredible sportsmanship and seems to take everything in stride! I love seeing him in your videos
Yo, both armies are looking sweet, but the lenses and gems and orbs on those necrons look friggin *delectable* my guy.
Hey thanks man!
So happy to see some spooky necron bois!!
I'm just getting to this one and I can't believe it took me this long. This was one of you guys best videos imo it was a close knuckle drag brawl from start to finish and the game itself was just great to watch. Keep up your amazing channel!
This is such an incredible channel - every episode has been just so fun. These two are two of my favorite players as well.
I cannot wait to see what's next!
That game was absolutely epic :) Close matches are always fun to watch!
Absolutely incredible. Good for going all the way.
The music is so well timed and perfect for this!!!! Great job editor person and musician person/bands :)
New petition
The are-animator is to now be forever called Herbert West
Great game! My friend and I always played necrons vs death guard, so it’s fun seeing them fight
I love how friendly everyone is. Excellent Channel and even better content!
Always a great game when my man Tycho is causing chaos .
Love seeing a fellow necron player and WATSON also tycho is always incredible
Such a great batrep guys. Great commentary by Steve again
seriously great game and what a win for the necrons - i myself cheered when watson survived lol
Loved the game, loved the commentary. Loved it all. Especially the "kind of sexy" part. That killed me.
Glad to see the Necrons back :)
This is incredible. I surely thought necrons were gonna get their asses handed to them again. Great game
Really nice to see a BR go down to the wire!
Wow thats amazing Production quality. I just watched the entirety without any knowledge of the system.
Gods and monsters check under their bed for W A T S O N .
This episode alone made me start a necron army, now I'm a proud owner of 800pts of free necrons
The legion grows!!!!
I wish I had a group that was into 40K as much as these guys. You can tell they love this hobby.
This is an epic fight. Each player is on his top performance. Lovely.
Mortarion: "Victory shall be mine this day!"
Watson: *Buenos dias, fuckboy*
Buenos noches
Amazing game and presentation!! Armies are beautiful!!
Thank you for this 🙂🙂
Great battle report, but we really need a music list for these videos, I was vibing to the background music as I glued my primaris captain!
An incredible game, congratulations to both players for a game so close and hard fought! Looking forward to the next battle in the 41st millennium.
Fantastic watch guys!
Mike, fellow Necron player here. Completely agree, we do not have great anti tank. Lokhust heavy destroyers is probably our best bet. The doomsday ark really is just a distraction when playing against experienced players.
Finally a match that will be for the most part even
Just got into warhammer and really didn't no what army to go for but seeing Watson made me pick necrons so thank you 40k in 40mins
Absolutely love having the Necrons on the channel!
Michael, Watson, Necrons are always a blast to have in the studio so we concur
Gorgeous opening cinematic!
thank you! They turned out great :)
What a banger 🔥 came down to the last round 💯 so when we getting the Winner take all tie breaker!!! You got to make Nurgle Proud Tycho!! 😈
Awesome stuff guys!
silent king does have a fights last for units in engagement range so it should have gone before mortarion in turn 3
Yeah, I was wondering about that, and checking if Mortarion had anything to counteract Silent King's fights last. Maybe there's something we're missing
I think Mortarion's aura ability shuts it down.
@@SuperHeavyBox it is not an aura because it only works against units in engagement range of the silent king
as i play both of these armies this was a great watch i need to grab more necrons but the chimes of the death bells call to me and say " more pox my child nurgle's favor calls to you "
Great game, close, exciting and great players to watch.
Great game and great sportsmanship. Always fantastic to watch!
I love this so much, don't even know what else to say. Thx for new video, go necrons
I'm still amazed how a t-shirt company can pull off such fun battle reports
