Tau Nick is such a legend! “You’re happy?” “Playing board games is awesome! You have to cheer when awesome things happen!” This is literally the best spirit of the game.
Great battle report, two players that just embrace the fun and fluff. Love the fact Dave has the largest chaos army known to man… yet doesn’t really know the rules for current edition!
Breskers when they take wounds and lost models get to D6 move forward.... "Blood Surge" which can bring them into engagement range so they could have tag the tau on the bridge in the Tau turn on a roll of a 6 ofc
Nick! Your pathfinders have the markerlight keyword. That means those seeker missles against the rhino ignore cover. 6s to save. Also, your longstrike gets a free reroll hit or wound. You can use that on the failed seeker missle shot. Dave, your Jakhals get a 5+ FNP when you have that blessing active. Nick your tank shock into the Berserkers was 5 mortals not 4. That would be one more dead berserker.
Very nice game. That measuring, point the spot, move an extra half inch would drive me crazy though ;-) Nice to see some veteran players not going berserk on tiny things like that.
Yay, more banther, including the classik backgroundmusik. Dave, Chaos powerfists STILL HIT ON 3+!!!!. Khorne wants it. Khorne demands it. Keep it up guys. Lovin it.
As a World Eaters player, forgetting all those FNP's and Blood Surge gave me severe anxiety :D Edit - Weren't those hazardous tests done incorrectly for the Crisis Suits? It should be 3 hazardous rolls per model, not 1, seeing as they were all overcharged.
i'm only at roughly 1hr in but you take 1 hazardous test for every "hazardous" weapon you shoot. atleast at 28:00 he shot 3 Cyclic ion blasters (each has 3 shots) so he takes 1 hazardous test per model (since each shot one Cyclic Ion blaster). Maybe i missed something but atleast that was done right
@@jonny_kungno worries, pretty understandable. As a Tau player i have run that alot myself but i switched to more Fluffy lists since it is far more fun ^^
Love the energy between Dave and Nick the kind of spirit that makes 40K games so much fun! On a side note Nick forgot so many rules for the tau but a great vid nonetheless! 😁
Long Live Deffy, may he fire his pie plates for many, many years to come! Always love seeing Dave have to instantly watch any video with him, his enthusiasm is infectious & he's most iconic chaos player! p.s plz bring back the food challenge videos they were too funny 🤣🤣
I enjoyed the part where Skari shot his entire army at angron and then said “I don’t have anything left to shoot with” and then proceeded to shoot with more units..
can someone tell what the first model on nick's list is? I'm trying to find it cause i'd love to make a mech suit army, but i can't find it anywhere, neither on google or even in wahapedia
Can someone explain how the pathfinders are able to guide twice and shoot, i dont know the tua at all but the action economy on them is great if the tua forces can guide and shoot in the same turn.
Tau units can shoot and guide in the same turn for each unit. But each unit cannot guide and be guided. So basically half your army gets the guiding bonus amd the other half just shoots as normal
I think i missed something... why didnDave stop doing the blessings of khorn at the start of each battleround? Surely thats a massive thing to miss coz....Angron?
Maybe someone can help me out here, at 20:10 , the breacher's fire into Angron, its mentioned that they get to re-roll failed wounds if the target is on an objective. When I go on whahapedia, it just say re-roll the wound roll, not re-roll the failed wounds. Am I missing something?
@@mati12554 Am I missing something from the core rules? For re-rolls it states: "Some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll, which means you get to roll some or all of the dice again. If a rule allows you to re-roll a dice roll that was made by adding several dice together (e.g. 2D6, 3D6, etc.) then, unless otherwise stated, you must re-roll all of those dice again." From this, you'd just re-roll the entire wound roll. Is this not saying you need to re-roll the entire roll? Edit for clarity: For the first part of the rule, "some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll, which means you get to roll some or all of the dice again." The some or all is confusing to me. Generally, if a rule doesn't explicitly state "failed" then you re-roll the entire roll. Is there an FAQ that says differently?
@@shriborg9115 If the rule says re roll failed rolls, then you re roll only failed, if it says re roll wound rolls, you can re roll failed and successes. Depends on the wording on specific rule.
While interesting I feel like armor for a Vespid should be lighter than that to accommodate flight. Personally as well those action accessories aren't might cup of tea, as I find they take away from the model. Really don't get why so many people like black dice on a black/dark grey box. Feels like going for the character over popping the rhino and the units that would spill out was a mistake. Worked out, but feels like a lot more things could have died. Though the Khorne player was majorly cursed as well for displeasing Khorne with such initial cowardice. This all kind of shows how much the secondary mission cards are part of Tau's problem.
Great Game ! Love the Tau ! but the Y´vahra at 1:30:45 should not be able to shoot at the Defiler because the Ionic Discharge cannon got the Blast Keyword and the Defiler is in Engagement range with the Crisis Suit Commander or i´m i blind? last but not least .. FOR THE GREATER GOOD
They need to go back to making it easier to get angron back at least for 1 time. Then do something to make it progressively harder. Just feels bad when you spend half your army point on something and never get to use it.
Can we get a T-shirt with half being MWG and the other half being PoT? split the logo's down the middle and one side black one side grey or what ever is possible.
Love to see two awesome players battling it out! My one complaint is watching a Tau gunline with rerolls all over the place wasn't too exciting to watch, but that is just me. Thanks for the video!
If every army in 40k played the same it would be even more boring than watching T'au doing T'au things. I prefer variety over seeing the same play style over and over again from every army.
I personally really dislike what GW has done with the World Eaters rules since their inception, is there anyone who plays them but actually likes the new rules?
I actually like the army rules with the dice every turn and the unit rules are fine. The detachment is a big issue I have with the army at the moment. It's just a weaker BA detachment now and the strats are mid with nothing really jumping out except the plus 1 to wound to certain units.
It does but it should be in the title and description as it is a significant aspect of the game. It’s not a big ask at all, common courtesy rather. If you’ve seen enough MWG batreps you’d know that point totals are a complete guessing game usually.
They have the same excited energy, how can you not have fun while they’re both having fun? That’s rhetorical, the only people who don’t like Nick hate fun. Fact.
Games involving Dave, Nick, and Skari have the best energy. I wish everyone found this much joy in their hobby.
Tau Nick is such a legend!
“You’re happy?”
“Playing board games is awesome! You have to cheer when awesome things happen!”
This is literally the best spirit of the game.
Really enjoyed Daves explanation of strategy and motivation behind certain moves. Easy for newbs like me to follow
Always a joy to see Dave and Nick's energy bring life into the games they play. They're the Mega Powers of 40k Batreps!
The energy these two make together make it a truly fun and energetic battle report to watch! Truly an amazing report, and I hope to see more!
Great battle report, two players that just embrace the fun and fluff. Love the fact Dave has the largest chaos army known to man… yet doesn’t really know the rules for current edition!
Rules of editions change. Chaos is forever!!!
@@miniwargaming Deffy is forever
Dave + nostalgia music + Nick from ptt, today couldn't get any better!
super keen to watch this one unfold
I love these creator crossover battles!
44:50 my man failed a 2 inch charge XD photon grenades for the win!
I love dave and nick's energy together ❤️ it's so infectious and everyone celebrates when something cool happens regardless of who is losing ❤
Breskers when they take wounds and lost models get to D6 move forward.... "Blood Surge" which can bring them into engagement range
so they could have tag the tau on the bridge in the Tau turn on a roll of a 6 ofc
Love me some Tau battle reports
As I keep playing this game, the more I want to be like Dave and Nick, no matter the outcome, always happy and enjoying the game/moments
I love watching these guys 😂 their banter is so good and they’re so happy.
Gorgeous armies, well painted sirs.
Play on tabletop is one of the best 40k channel out there! i really like it this battle report 😁😁
That failing of the charge... LMAO
khorne could only cringe
This was sooo fun to watch! Angron took a beating :D holy fck the shooting just didnt end... unreal. Plus: You two guys are just awesome!!
Love the Longstrike mod... ...I know a Tidewall Gunrig Railgun when I see one.
Nick! Your pathfinders have the markerlight keyword. That means those seeker missles against the rhino ignore cover. 6s to save.
Also, your longstrike gets a free reroll hit or wound. You can use that on the failed seeker missle shot.
Dave, your Jakhals get a 5+ FNP when you have that blessing active.
Nick your tank shock into the Berserkers was 5 mortals not 4. That would be one more dead berserker.
That moment when he learned about Tank Shock. As a Knights player it's my favourite thing :)
I love the new banked tables, don't know why nobody thought of it before, makes battle so much more visual
I don't know the whole story. However, I have loved seeing Dave's Banter Batreps back in the lineup! I love MiniWargaming and wish you all the best!
1 armed stealth suit commanders go crazy
Very nice game. That measuring, point the spot, move an extra half inch would drive me crazy though ;-) Nice to see some veteran players not going berserk on tiny things like that.

i LOVE that angron model! such a good paintjob on it!
Awesomeness... dave is always amazing, and nick is so much fun... seeing these guys in one bat rep is so cool
"Eldar are playing a different game than everybody else" And that's the way they like it
Good to see Dave again
As a World Eaters player, forgetting all those FNP's and Blood Surge gave me severe anxiety :D
Edit - Weren't those hazardous tests done incorrectly for the Crisis Suits? It should be 3 hazardous rolls per model, not 1, seeing as they were all overcharged.
Each Ciclic fires 3 shots and Nick fired 9 shots. So he has 1 ciclic per model, hence 1 hazardous test per model
i'm only at roughly 1hr in but you take 1 hazardous test for every "hazardous" weapon you shoot. atleast at 28:00 he shot 3 Cyclic ion blasters (each has 3 shots) so he takes 1 hazardous test per model (since each shot one Cyclic Ion blaster).

Cheers guys. For some reason I thought he had 3 cyclic blasters per model. Probably because I'm used to playing against that!
@@jonny_kungno worries, pretty understandable. As a Tau player i have run that alot myself but i switched to more Fluffy lists since it is far more fun ^^
@@jonny_kung if he had 3 ciclics he wouldve fired 27 shots with his crisis suits
Love the energy between Dave and Nick the kind of spirit that makes 40K games so much fun! On a side note Nick forgot so many rules for the tau but a great vid nonetheless! 😁
I saw the thumbnail and said to myself "huh those look like Nicks Tau" and what do you know it is Nick
More Tau batteps please!
Also as everyone keeps saying, it is indeed good to see Dave again 😃
Dave's hair gets more glorious every video lol. We need more World Eater narrative videos.
Long Live Deffy, may he fire his pie plates for many, many years to come!
Always love seeing Dave have to instantly watch any video with him, his enthusiasm is infectious & he's most iconic chaos player!
p.s plz bring back the food challenge videos they were too funny 🤣🤣
woa guys such a fun game! you two are amazing together! wish more crossover episode are on the way !
Great game lads! 🎉🎉 well played. That railgun party is bumpin’!! :p
Dave you have been missed glad you are doing more Batreps!
the Dice where on FIRE this game
DEFFY! Gods that takes me back!
Dave + Nick = Best Batreps!
I enjoyed the part where Skari shot his entire army at angron and then said “I don’t have anything left to shoot with” and then proceeded to shoot with more units..
Really enjoyed this game, was able to follow along and enjoyed it alot
Seeing anyone use kharn is like watching someone negotiate with a crowbar held to their kneecaps
total destruction of the whole table :)
Awesome match up, cheers lads.
That poor stealth xv25 who lost an arm
We need more Dave playing games.
Oh yeah !
Defffyyyy!!!! We've missed you, bud!
This table is incredible
Maybe I missed it a bunch, but a lot of nicks shooting was sustained hits 2. He only gets that when guiding. Baseline it only gives sustained hits 1.
i fairly positive he guided almost every shot. he just goes over it so fast its easy to miss
Missed you on the table Dave even if you let the Tau destroy Angron lol
...I can't remember my feel no pains also man so.
I feel your pain ☺️
LOL Nick never rolls this hot on Play On
berzerkers getting out of the rhino has a D6 blood surge after each units finished shooting... 😭
New Shirt idea: "THE COMMAND POINT WAS USELESS!"
It's funny cuz it wasn't. He did wound the rhino but he forgot to say he gets ignores cover too. Pathfinders have markerlight which means he had that.
can someone tell what the first model on nick's list is? I'm trying to find it cause i'd love to make a mech suit army, but i can't find it anywhere, neither on google or even in wahapedia
Great video guys!

@@caydensmith3291 Ok thanks!
And Pathfinders specifically just have an ability in their datasheet that says they can guide 2 different units.
I don't think those black dice rolled a 6. Might be time to put them out to pasture.
I'm enjoying this
Love the kharn model please share what model used as a base hate the standard one from gw
@miniwargaming YES pleaase!
I think i missed something... why didnDave stop doing the blessings of khorn at the start of each battleround? Surely thats a massive thing to miss coz....Angron?
was wondering myself….

Re-roll wound roll also means failed wound rolls. Any wound roll you can re roll, success or fail.

Angron dies and Dave’s dice betray him… hmmm can’t be a coincidence…
is that kharn a 3d print or something? or a kitbash? because he looks awesome
Great game guys
Great Game ! Love the Tau ! but the Y´vahra at 1:30:45 should not be able to shoot at the Defiler because the Ionic Discharge cannon got the Blast Keyword and the Defiler is in Engagement range with the Crisis Suit Commander or i´m i blind?
last but not least .. FOR THE GREATER GOOD
This is the second batrep I've seen Tau Nick get the AP of crisis plasma wrong. It's -3 not -4 my brother.
They need to go back to making it easier to get angron back at least for 1 time. Then do something to make it progressively harder. Just feels bad when you spend half your army point on something and never get to use it.
Lol every time I encounter him he comes back
Can we get a T-shirt with half being MWG and the other half being PoT? split the logo's down the middle and one side black one side grey or what ever is possible.
I want that Kharn model where did you get it?
Where did you get this Kharn mini?
i like how they both forget there rules
Why does Dave sound like Matt 😂
kharn and the defiler need new models so bad
I'm a simple Warhammer player, I see Nick, I click like.
Definitely not as good as the old format unfortunately for me but appreciate you guys trying new things
No drones(well very few)? Have they Changed Tau that much?
yup. drones are tokens now so rarely placed on the table
Am I missing where Angrons feel no pain is on his datasheet?
It's a blessing of khorne
ah gotcha! thanks for the reply!@@lostwolfx
There was a few times you forgot about shadow sun i do the same

Drill your barrels!
tank shock is scary as F😱
i want nicks custom vespid
pathfinders have Markerlight, no benefit of cover when they spot, that first save shoulda been on a 6
Hey Dave! By any chance are you Filipino? Hahaha
Never played 40k but always love watching it, but every tau battle always feels.... Cheap
Why don’t all viewers like the vids. It’s the least they can do if they view the video .
This energy is weird. They both want to be top dog. Its like they didnt ge to know each other, then they played a game, very clash, much wow
Says this video is 2 hours old but looks like 2 years..... Are they not in a studio that has updated World Eaters...
It’s Dave’s personal chaos collection I think
tau are the worst campers out there!
