I played as Tyranids vs my best friends Ultramarines the other day and my god Guilliman is lethal. He basically one shot my Norn Emissary in melee. Best thing about the game though was when my friend had an entire round of shooting a redemptor into a ripper swarm and whiffed on everything or I saved it
Something similar happened to me but my buddy was playing bloodletter demons and he completely destroyed my swarmlord with his Scarbrand (Idk how to spell the model's name)
Tbh, I wasn’t excited to see Space Marines and Tyranids again but WOW did the new detachment rules make a fun game to watch ! You guys are killing it as usual. Thanks for the great 40k content. Still the best produced batreps on TH-cam!
I actually hate how mediocre the new crusher stampede rules are. You can tell GW was too afraid to make them even decent because of what happened last time.
Don’t worry the First Company Detachment they didn’t even give an opportunity to be good. 🤣 it is a shame though, if they just added a few better stratagems to crusher stampede I think it could be a menace. Just hard to find that perfect balance.
Saw that space marine list and there was never a chance nids were gonna do anything, space marine armour is just way to powerful for nids to try and take on
It’s the best marine detachment vs the worst tyranids detachment, and the former is specialized in killing the latter… not a chance. Would like to see some decent tyranids lists in the channel. It seems they are just playing meme armies vs competitive marine lists to get blasted :( I understand this channel is not competitive or anything but still feels a bit bad
@@91elpiris I agree. Nids never win on this channel because as you point out, its meme vs competitive and often the worst nid picks as well. "Lets use several Screamer killers and a Tyrannofex" - said no serious nid player since 10'th ed started.
I'm a serious nid player and run all of those exactly 😅 I also have however an Emmisary, haruspex, a carni squad with OoE for other monsters at the moment. It's the saturation that is important. Also might I add, I've only lost 3 games in 10th (daemons, a super meta dark angels list and imperial knights pre nerf)
@@IzzysBuisness Then Im impressed, since you are nerfing yourself for no real reason but still winning stuff. Good for you. I don't go for "meta builds" myself, as I like to have fun with my lists and battles and not min-max everything. But I won't choose the worst units if there are other better options - and there are.
@@kefnettheuseless7627 Apparently, you just have to convince your Tyranid opponent(s) to bring an all-monster list while you bring an anti-monster list like this knucklehead. There's just no way Ironstorm Spearhead should lose to a 'nid CS.
It made me laugh that he even added a wall along the deployment edge to keep monsters from consolidating into him. It’s so lopsided and the worst part is I know a guy who always tries to do stuff like this haha never announce what you are playing to people like them!
I think that assimilation swarm can be a clever anti tank detachment as if you get your swarms into those tanks and infantry you can easily lock heavy’s in combat so no big bang bangs and if your lil guys get wrecked a lil ripper will respawn them (within rolls ofcourse) all I’ll say is the psychophage can be a very useful tool in a skirmish
the big nid monsters wounding on 5s when reaching combat (lack of firepower compared to SM) hurts them. Considering they rely on melee to do damage really they struggle to get anything through.
Its alright for Guilman to be strength 14 and have a sword that does dev wounds but a tyranid model thats twice his size and costs about the same points no strength 9.
Nids are getting shat on rn, though it really doesn't help he was playing the objectively worst detachment. Pretty much anything but synaptic network is better for Tyijus than the detachment apparently made for it.
The biggest problem is nothing in there army other than screamer killer has anything above a 9 in strength. And sadly the norm and Swarmlord both have the same strength with I think is wild.
Very true. The army can struggle against armour, but has a field day with infantry of all types (in my experience). Both Norns have good shooting; Assimilator has solid melee. Heirodules are great, but all these are in the realm of 300 points. Hierophant is fantastic but a huge cost. Old One Eye is really our best melee damage dealer at 140. That said, Zoanthropes put in work, and T-Fexes are TERRIFYING. Anything remotely competitive and I’m fielding both in force to back up my melee Battleline.
Crusher Stampede requires players to run Tyranids with 20 or less models, when they really rely on having more bodies than the opponent can feasibly shoot at/swing at
It’s because no crusher stampede list online takes their best units- there should be 3x haruspex, old one eye with carnifexes and some special units to actually get max efficiency. Taking 2 screamer killers is just painful to a list
@@oscarluckin1625 Their army is like a lot of new or casual players, start with the launch box models and build up. I think only tournament players would consider 3 identical $80 models a good spend when there is so much variety available.
Mubin such a great player sportmanship 100% very charicmatic but he nees to step up his game with Nyds. He play fun list while the other army its coming for blood. Tak clean game as always the guy is a pro.
this game was sadly decided when choosing the crusher stampede detachment.. this game was sadly decided when choosing a Tyrannofex.. this game was sadly decided when choosing two screamer killer.. this game was sadly decided when choosing a swarmlord.. this game was sadly decided when choosing both norn.. everything about this tyranid list and plan was just "wrong", because sad truth is, tyranid monster JUST suck.. and the only "acceptable" monsters, Maleceptor and maybe haruspex, weren't even in the list. Tyranids have non existing damage against armor, and are to slow to get that non existing damage into combat in the first place, even if going first.
@@ReadThisIfYourG3y sorry but this is next to impossible, Literally my best friend plays tson, and I play Tyranids as one of my main factions. and I play "good" monster lists comparred to this. Tson is absolutly one of the best armies against this. Tson can just shoot these things of the table before they even reach you. Given we played only one game with this matchup against a monster list and it was before the last dataslate update, and it might be more fair now. But tyranids monsters didn't change since then. Same as you saw here Tson can easily kill the three nearest models every turn easily and kill them and kite them all before they ever reach a valuable target. Since then I played with monster against ironstorm, deathguard and even the new votann. all able to shoot every last monster to death before turn 5, even with 10 giant monster that are T11 you dont stand a chance. Maleceptors are the only thing that can survive reasonably well for the points, but sadly again dont do any damage in melee even when they get there.. and when I then play Vanguard or swarm I can not believe why I even bother making monsters work when I can literally do the same thing and be in my opponents face turn 1 and keep them occupied with SO many models turn after turn that I just win with a lead so great because my opponent literally is unable to play the game. (I guess thats why I also play "weaker lists" like mosnters..)
Some people already know this I imagine, but in case there are anybody who is just looking at Tyranids I want to gush about how ridiculously cool the Trygon's Biostatic Pulse ranged attack is. This thing builds up static electricity between it chitinous plates as it digs underground, and discharges that electricity around itself, to a point where it evaporates creatures struck by it. I love Tyranids for the adaptations, but this just seems so feasible that I love it lol, that's it, that's the comment lol, loving the game XD
I agree that as a fictional concept it is cool. In regard to the end comment about it being so feasible, well, no it’s complete and utter nonsense scientifically.
My friend and I recreated this game with slightly different lists but still just using the big monsters and vehicles, and it was a ton of fun. I had the Nids and even went second but managed to pull out the win by like 88-80.
this is the same problem I run into when I go monster mash nothing but shooting armies that kill me on turn on or 2. wish monsters had the surge ability like the gants
Carnifexes do. And they are better choices than Screamer Killers for lots of reasons. But they are still not very good for their points cost due to very low durability.
@@skalgrimfellaxe5796 T8 W9 sv2+ for 125 point is okay but sadly most anti tank are str 9-12 and when play 2 of em with old one eye are very tempting for target. so most of the time they not live through turn 2.
Serious question: How come there are 0 ruins on this board? Seems like 10th basically requires 4-8 pieces of full LOS blocking terrain (and with large monsters that means ruins) but often play on doesn't have any? Makes a big difference to first turn and who has more shooting. I'm actually asking if it's like a design choice for you guys or any other thoughts. Love the video! Love your plays!
we actually treated all buildings as Ruins and LoS blocking but we also still need space for the monsters to get around and it's hard to COMPLETELY high 9 big Tyranids so unfortunately some were going to get shot. Same goes with the SM, if anything they had LESS LoS blocking terrain in comparison
Yup, that's how we treated it! That's also a big thing when we create our tables, the players have input and agree on how to define the terrain that is there. So while on initial look it might seem like there was an open field we actually had very limited firing lanes. As the games go on and the bugs get closer though there's much less to hide behind
the only reason nids lose and lose and lose is that while lascannons went from s9 to s12 (keeping them at 3+ against light tanks and 4+ against heavy tanks) the venom cannon stayed at s9 making it impossible for them to keep up the only ranged weapons they have that can match it now are the focused witchfire which is mounted on a slow and fragile frame or the rupture cannon which is mounted on a very expensive frame and incredibly unreliable The same thing happened to many of their weapons but the lascannon vs the venom cannon is the clearest most direct example (the bright lance, the eldar equivalent for example went up like the lascannon) In return, nids got their melee antitank way stronger so they could take tanks out in melee, however their toughness didn't go up to match the other factions so they can't actually reach into engagement (for example in 9th a t7 redemptor dread got upgraded to t10, but a t7 carnifex went up only to t9) In general the whole nid index and codex seems written by someone who chose to follow the 10th edition mantra of things being tougher while not getting stronger but every other index was written by people who just made everything stronger and also tougher
Love giant monsters vs giant robots, fun match every time. As a Blood Angels player into the lore, melee armies have a hard time in 10th, so I feel the Tyranids pain here, hopefully 10th finds a way to make melee more balanced in terms of risk reward. Great match either way, would love to see more Stormlance on the channel!
Some times I see plays that just make me confused. Why would mumen not zero that SIX damage melta on his main anti tank gun when he was the oath target. That single decision lost an insane amount of potential going onto turn 2-3
Not sure you saw HOW many guns were aimed at that poor Tyrannofex. My thought process was to keep it as a pocket to try and keep it alive on it's last legs. that ALSO gives it maximum bonus from Crusher Stampede rules. Tak knew what kind of a threat it was. That fex wasn't going to survive that turn 2 no matter what.
Tyranids do seem under-powered for a launch faction this early in the edition. I've only ever seen them win with swarming Objective control and lucky secondaries.
@@hellcyte5259our antitank units are sadly pretty hard to get ahold of right now. Haruspex is pretty good at it, but good luck finding one. They are right though, pretty much every nid unit needs a Strength boost, a point drop, some (screamer killer) need invulnerable saves or FNP, and most pre-codex changes need to be reversed in general.
This is the best batrep formst on youtube. Theoretically. Sadly I find myself skipping a lot, because the matchups are often very onsided because of the lists. :/
@@leSmokySmoke That too! I like the +1 to hit a lot, and the AoC strat is nice for the synapse boys. I do really like how the lethal hits from invasion fleet help us punch up into tanks though. Nexus can't do that as well.
@@thirstyserpent1079 yes! And it’s hounds demoralizing as a Tyranid player. I keep hearing that Tyranids are pretty weak when it comes to ranged battles, and We keep seing that on turns 1-2
As someone who's only experience with actual tabletop 40K is this channel, it feels like detachments like Crusher Stampede, that is so dependent on getting the first turn and getting close before they lose models before they can even literally do anything (thereby losing those points, especially considering ammunition count isn't a thing, so it isn't like the other team is using up a limited resource in exchange for eliminating those models before they can have any impact on the table), should have some kind of rule or ability that gives them a higher chance of winning initiative and going first.
Basically the only way you can do anything turn 1 as crusher stampede is making sure to take 2-3 exocrines. At least with that you can kill 1-2 infantry units
I noticed Tyranids are kind of getting their asses beaten in this edition, especially against Space Marines. In a lot of the videos I've seen Space Marines are able to just shit can Nids like there is no tomorrow xD.
Tyranids over the last few editions have been balanced around having bad saves but high damage and AP. Now their saves are still bad but so is their damage and AP.
Invasion fleet is far superior that crusher stampede (the worst detachment for tyranids currently) the lethal hits and the FNP stratagem will make so much difference in this game.
If Tyranids cannot have more gaunts than Space Marines' bolter rounds, they are likely to lose. And R.I.P. brave Techmarine, let the Omnisaiach save your soul in His eternal cloud!
someone help me isn't the 6th company a assault company with lots of assault marines? Isn't the fourth company the one with the most tanks acording to the codex?
I don't know. Sometimes in the TH-cam backend responses get attached to other comments so may have been a misfire or someone rolled a one. Our research says that 6th Company is the Brethren of the Forge with many techmarines and vehicles. Our sources could be wrong.
@@PlayOnTabletop Mine could be as well. Maybe it was something that got mixed up with the aurora chapter, ultramarines which escentially have more tanks then they should and they use to be the LEGIONS 4th company

Sincere question... I don't really understand how Enraged Behemoths works. I might just be missing something, but the rule says "if that model's unit is below starting strength" which I thought just refers to model count? I assume there's some exception for monsters that counts wounds, but I can't find the rule anywhere. Thanks!
The moment tyranids deployed that way and lost the initiative, the game was over.
I played as Tyranids vs my best friends Ultramarines the other day and my god Guilliman is lethal. He basically one shot my Norn Emissary in melee. Best thing about the game though was when my friend had an entire round of shooting a redemptor into a ripper swarm and whiffed on everything or I saved it
Girlyman really shouldnt do that, rolled really poorly on 4+ invuls then. I guess it is very swingy

Guys, very nice presentation of the batrep, gj!!
I watch this vid every now and then hoping crusher stampede magically gets better
This was Pacific Rim!😂 I love you guys❤
the only reason nids lose and lose and lose is that while lascannons went from s9 to s12 (keeping them at 3+ against light tanks and 4+ against heavy tanks) the venom cannon stayed at s9 making it impossible for them to keep up the only ranged weapons they have that can match it now are the focused witchfire which is mounted on a slow and fragile frame or the rupture cannon which is mounted on a very expensive frame and incredibly unreliable
The same thing happened to many of their weapons but the lascannon vs the venom cannon is the clearest most direct example (the bright lance, the eldar equivalent for example went up like the lascannon)
In return, nids got their melee antitank way stronger so they could take tanks out in melee, however their toughness didn't go up to match the other factions so they can't actually reach into engagement (for example in 9th a t7 redemptor dread got upgraded to t10, but a t7 carnifex went up only to t9)
In general the whole nid index and codex seems written by someone who chose to follow the 10th edition mantra of things being tougher while not getting stronger but every other index was written by people who just made everything stronger and also tougher
Love giant monsters vs giant robots, fun match every time.
As a Blood Angels player into the lore, melee armies have a hard time in 10th, so I feel the Tyranids pain here, hopefully 10th finds a way to make melee more balanced in terms of risk reward.

Some times I see plays that just make me confused. Why would mumen not zero that SIX damage melta on his main anti tank gun when he was the oath target. That single decision lost an insane amount of potential going onto turn 2-3
Not sure you saw HOW many guns were aimed at that poor Tyrannofex. My thought process was to keep it as a pocket to try and keep it alive on it's last legs. that ALSO gives it maximum bonus from Crusher Stampede rules. Tak knew what kind of a threat it was. That fex wasn't going to survive that turn 2 no matter what.
I agree. Even though he's explained his thoughts here, there's very few times canceling 6 damage isn't the play
@@MubinTalatihonesty you should’ve just won the game and saved everything smh/s
@@canadianbigmac3501omg you're so right. Why didn't I think of that! lol
When do we get to see Mubin win a game? xD
I genuinely don't know how he is still so enthusiastic about all his games.
Yeah, I think nids have lost like the last 4 games straight. =(
@@genghisjon3951
Even when Mubin uses another army he still gets beat.
It's hard to watch at this point.
Because I build and bring lists I'll have fun playing win or lose
@@MubinTalati Hell yes Mubin, that's the spirit of Warhammer right there!
Screw Tak and his meta army, you're out here building fun stuff.
@@masterofblades8960 I recommend watching last Monday's Live stream of Thousand Sons vs FIrestorm and let me know what you think
Just sitting down to watch this.
Initial assessment, I hope Tak's dice rolls are better than they've fared in the past.
We'll see if this ages well.
Can’t wait for the other Gauntlet videos!
TAAAAK!!!!!! You are so awesome!
Tyranids do seem under-powered for a launch faction this early in the edition. I've only ever seen them win with swarming Objective control and lucky secondaries.
They lack a lot in fire power to down big and strong models, they seems pretty weak at dealing with tank / tough models
@@hellcyte5259our antitank units are sadly pretty hard to get ahold of right now. Haruspex is pretty good at it, but good luck finding one. They are right though, pretty much every nid unit needs a Strength boost, a point drop, some (screamer killer) need invulnerable saves or FNP, and most pre-codex changes need to be reversed in general.
That tank army was so cool, but with the table so packed he coudn't hardly move his army at all.
@4:17 how did nidzilla miss the opportunity to say "monster mash' versus 'graveyard smash' ? :P
This is the best batrep formst on youtube. Theoretically. Sadly I find myself skipping a lot, because the matchups are often very onsided because of the lists. :/
That game was awesome!!
whats the ork news crew doing on that artillery piece?????????
reporting back on Tyranid and Space Marine shenanigans and fighting that doesn't involve Orks
Dats Brikk Ironjaw. Bringin you da bestest fights dis side of Gorks grin!
Sadly Invasion Fleet is a better monster mash detachment than Crusher Stampede by a MILE.
synaptic nexus
@@leSmokySmoke That too! I like the +1 to hit a lot, and the AoC strat is nice for the synapse boys. I do really like how the lethal hits from invasion fleet help us punch up into tanks though. Nexus can't do that as well.
I literally just brought an Astraeus today! Very excited to see that a battlereport by you guys got released simultaneously that also features one!
Heartbreaking seing tyranids lose again and again… still! Really fun battle to watch as always!!
I've noticed in the current version that anytime I see Space marine vs Tyranids, Tyranids almost always lose xD.
@@thirstyserpent1079 yes! And it’s hounds demoralizing as a Tyranid player. I keep hearing that Tyranids are pretty weak when it comes to ranged battles, and We keep seing that on turns 1-2
@@matysepron1520 I think at the end of the day Tyranids need a more versatile list and need some shooting and melee with decent scoring options
Mooooobin ohhhh noessss 😂
NOT OLE SQUEEZY 😢😢😢
Poor Huggy and Squeezy. They just wanted cuddles
@@MubinTalati 😁😁😁
As someone who's only experience with actual tabletop 40K is this channel, it feels like detachments like Crusher Stampede, that is so dependent on getting the first turn and getting close before they lose models before they can even literally do anything (thereby losing those points, especially considering ammunition count isn't a thing, so it isn't like the other team is using up a limited resource in exchange for eliminating those models before they can have any impact on the table), should have some kind of rule or ability that gives them a higher chance of winning initiative and going first.
Basically the only way you can do anything turn 1 as crusher stampede is making sure to take 2-3 exocrines. At least with that you can kill 1-2 infantry units
Interesting army list. I like the emissary model the most! But I think that whoever gets to start turn 1 is going to win. But let’s see if I’m right.
I noticed Tyranids are kind of getting their asses beaten in this edition, especially against Space Marines. In a lot of the videos I've seen Space Marines are able to just shit can Nids like there is no tomorrow xD.
Have you seen this one? th-cam.com/video/XbHE2E9gBpQ/w-d-xo.html
@@PlayOnTabletop Not yet.
34:27 he has such a way with words~
Tyranids over the last few editions have been balanced around having bad saves but high damage and AP. Now their saves are still bad but so is their damage and AP.
Invasion fleet is far superior that crusher stampede (the worst detachment for tyranids currently) the lethal hits and the FNP stratagem will make so much difference in this game.
I wanna see a similar thing with guard vs orks only the heavy stuff
I really want to see space marine Ironstorm vs Tank Guard. Bunch of Leman Russ's like 2 Rogal Dorns, a shadowsword. Maybe some sentinels.
I feel like a single Falchion coulda wiped the floor with Mubin on this one
If Tyranids cannot have more gaunts than Space Marines' bolter rounds, they are likely to lose.
And R.I.P. brave Techmarine, let the Omnisaiach save your soul in His eternal cloud!
someone help me isn't the 6th company a assault company with lots of assault marines? Isn't the fourth company the one with the most tanks acording to the codex?
why did play on heart this?
I don't know. Sometimes in the TH-cam backend responses get attached to other comments so may have been a misfire or someone rolled a one. Our research says that 6th Company is the Brethren of the Forge with many techmarines and vehicles. Our sources could be wrong.
@@PlayOnTabletop Mine could be as well. Maybe it was something that got mixed up with the aurora chapter, ultramarines which escentially have more tanks then they should and they use to be the LEGIONS 4th company
Nids not being able to wound was brutal.
Those nids are incredibly well painted. So real
Swarmord ripping Guilliman apart. How appropriate. Like son, like father, eh?
Crusher Stampede really is quite bad isnt it. Did its rule come in effect even once in this entire game?
it actually did a few times, mostly on the Emissary actually
@@MubinTalati it did? I guess with not seeing all the dice it's hard to notice.
The Tyranids player was lucky af lol😂
Dang crusher stampede looks terrible in 10th. Hope we get some closer tyranid games in the future.
Dear JT we need a sound board consisting entirely of the sounds you make during these newer battles. Please?
I make them while playing too.
@@jtmcdowell2331 ...lol. me too cant have farsight come in from deepstrike without a whooosh kaboom sound. still think a Play onTabletop sound board would be a good idea. Nick going "kaboom" "DAMN YOU MUBIN" some of your "moments" in the recent games. the fans will love it 😁
Why is Tak hiding his techmarine ? it has Lone Op anyway, if it's within 3" of vehicle :D
Warhammer 40k Pacific Rim edition, love it 🤘
first 5 mins into the video and i already knew the outcome
Sincere question... I don't really understand how Enraged Behemoths works. I might just be missing something, but the rule says "if that model's unit is below starting strength" which I thought just refers to model count? I assume there's some exception for monsters that counts wounds, but I can't find the rule anywhere. Thanks!
