"They've brought a lot of tanks..."
I was not prepared. My goodness.
All these models are stunning! I've been painting Tau for years and I just can't get close to your quality and depth. I absolutely love the camo on the AM tanks. Fantastic stuff!!
Thanks. Tutorials for both Tau and Guard on the Channel:)
@@StrikingScorpion82 The Tau: We have brought our finest warriors and deadliest weapons, Our Empire has never been defeated such a stain on our honor shall not fall upon us today. Lay down your Weapons Gue'vesa and embrace "The greater Good!"
Astra Militarum: *TONK*
That devastating and precise deep strike with shadowsun was such a Tau thing to do, it sounds like something that would happen in the books.
Your Apocalypse games are the best Batreps on YT! They always inspire me to finish painting the last set of units on my to do list.
Thanks:)
I’m not whinging, but I would have loved to have seen both sides be able to attack on their full profiles for the first turn and then apply the damage/remove models at the beginning of the second turn. That way each side would have been able to use all of their models before being destroyed. I still enjoyed the battle report though.
Good suggestion!
Agreed, the first turn adavntage is extremely unfair for the guy that goes second (no matter the army) GW should add the rule you have suggested
Thats how the actual Apocalypse rules work which I have to admit was how I thought they were playing. I do like that for Apocalypse as it allows you to play your new painted model without it suffering from "Painted Model Syndrome."
Your suggestion is very reasonable but just to let you know, whenever you start something with 'I'm not whinging, but' it will instantly make everyone think that you are, in fact, whinging. lol
I remember watching your Eldar v Tyranids massive battle report years ago. It inspired me then, and you continue to inspire me today. Thanks so much for the fantastic content.
No problem 👍👍🙂
That was an incredible battle, its my favorite out of all bat reps
1:44:00 so chimeras are basically armoured containers on tank tracks, I didn't notice it before
For me this is the greatest thing I could have possibly woken up to see.
your apocalypse games are the reason I joined the channel! Please keep doing them and incredible paint jobs for both sides!
That first miss for my Hammerhead had me worried but I made up for it by one-shotting the tank, love it!
Great the see the Railgun so deadly👍👍🙂
@@StrikingScorpion82 for the very short amount of time they were there they did great haha
Honestly, i would love to see an all tank tau army vs an all tank guard army...
Skyrays and hammerheads ahoy
OK SS82, the next one has to be the Guard (and maybe a small force of Space Marines) and Tau temporarily putting aside their differences to face a horde of Nids, Orks or similar.
What kind of heretical bullshit are you trying to spout here
No, true Guard players never fight alongside with those degenerate xenos
No way, James is way to loyalist to ever pair with the xeno filth of the T’au.
@@malekiththeeternityking5433 Sure, the Imperium and hating the alien/mutant/heretic is all well and good ... but the Greater Good has big tiddy hooved blue women.
@@malekiththeeternityking5433 it does happen, so a true player could actually do it without problems
This and the previous ultramarine v nid apocalypse are my favourite batrep style vids on TH-cam :) keep it up guys more 10-12k a side games please.
👍🙂
Awesome batrep. Nice to see the warhound not getting crippled straight away.
Imagine having some of the most advanced tech in the universe and losing to humans with WW1 level equipment.
Everything counts in large amounts
Having had stormsurges and hammerheads enough to match the sheer amount of tanks, they would've died so quickly.
Saw it happening...
The guard had the ancient power of going first in an apocalypse game. That catapults win rates to about 90%
@@es83stevenson88 The grabbing hands grab what they can
In fairness T’au had a pretty low amount of anti-tank firepower. They should’ve brought more stormsurges in place of the Ta’unar and I think the breachers weren’t worth taking especially without any transports. Turn 1 was also a pretty big advantage.
Am I the only one who was slightly hopping they would’ve played it like the T’au vs Guard bridge battle where they brought in units as the game went on?
Ahhh yes, reminds me of the Tau vs Guard 6,000 point epic apocalypse game.
As usual I love myself some t'au vs Astra militarum. My two favourite factiions.
No one:
Not a single soul:
James: FOR GLORY!!!
🤣🤣
I wonder if those Fire Warriors at the end were captured, slaughtered, or if they tried to run and meet up with Shadowsun's force. That would have probably also been a slaughter.
James' chanting is so good. Proper 40k player.
Yeah agreed🤣🤣👍🙂
that Plasma Leman Russ is actually the volkite one, though I assume they are just subbing it in for the Plasma one
Also cheeky James sneaking in the Titan like he was trying to add another Chimera in XD
Creed would be proud.
loved it!, the shadow sword is 3D 3 shots
Awesome stuff, I would appreciate you guys doing more close ups on the models for the full immersion
That gray and orange color scheme looks real good on all those T'au. They still don't look like they belong in 40k, but on their own it's real slick.
moving the scout titan away to deal with the tiger shark was top move. was worried James might get excited to smash crisis suits. 😅
Yet again, an SS82 Apocalypse game that is throughly entertaining from start to finish - well done chaps
👍🙂thanks
19:30 that first scared me cause I wasn’t expecting it but then I was crying from so much laughing
Lol Firesight Marksmen aren't a unit in the codex. They are a squad along with 3 sniper drones in built :D
Your batreps are EPCI!!! Epic armies, beautiful board, great back story. Scenario could be tweaked next time tho... Tau going second and being sitting ducks without any cover or room for manoeuvre meant loosing most of their interesting stuff in first turn, kinda made it a done deal straight off. Maybe use normal Apocalypse rules next time too so everyone gets at least one shot off? Anyway thanks for all you're doing!
Love seeing those rarer and bigger models! Thanks for another fantastic battle report. Keep it coming
Great game. Already looking forward to next episode of Apocalypse.
Love seeing the massed formation battles! Great battle report I wish there were groups interested in Apocalypse battles near me.
Wow! That Manta Strike is EPIC!!!
so many variants of leman russ but really only ever see players use demolishers and battle cannons is it because others aren't any good?
I feel like you should have split the placement of the Tau reinforcements. They were so effective, you'd have caused much greater pause for the Guard by putting them in opposite corners. That said, I love this battle report and actually any involving Guard, something about regular Joes fighting off all and sundry..... Love it!!! Also, love the enthusiasm of James! Keep up the battle cries James!!!!
PS: I've watched this game 6 times! :)
Yeeeeessss!!!!! I love your apocalypse battle reports, my 2 favorite armies!!!
This is amazing. Do you have plans for an alliance apocalypse game? Like Astartes, Mechanicus and knights vs eldar kind of like back in 7th BR
Great game, nice to watch another apocalypse game!
Another brilliant apocalypse game! Well done to Mitch and Josh for your well painted collections and incredible display of firepower!
👍👍😎🙂
That was absolutely fantastic! Thanks for such a great battle report.
No problem. Glad you enjoyed it👍👍😎
What an awesome batrep. Your channel got me back into the hobby and through some really tough times. Awesome . Love the paint scheme on Mitch’s tanks , what colour is that ?
Thanks for the feeback🙂 have a look at the last few challenge battles featuring Mitch's sola auxillia...he talks about his paint scheme in one of those games👍🙂
@@StrikingScorpion82 thanks guys . Keep up the awesome work . The Emperor Protects
I see apocalypse, I like. Thank you for all your apocalypse batreps mate (and all of your other great content #apocafiend#thisistrue40k)! Now... to the carnage 😈🤘
A fellow guardsman here, love your force your army is very much like mine very tank heavy with mech troops. 😊
Just started watching! May the Greater Good Triamph!!!!!
This is one of the few bat reps Ive ever seen where Tau lose. Im not gonna lie, im a bit sore, since a buddy of mine keeps kicking my ass with them. It flummoxes me how to win against them. Hats off to the guard leader, I have no idea how you did it.
So sic. Love the table. Armys look so good.
Just finished work, kick me feet up and watch this. Great work as always
Enjoy👍🙂
Glorious! CADIA STANDS!!!!
We need more and more apocaliptic battles!
I know this is nitpicky, but the config name for FB and MP is Forgefire, not Fireknife, that's PR and MP.
Thanks for pointing out👍🙂
Epic! My thoughts: when astra already has a pincer position at the start of the battle and first strike tau would need like 30k points to have any chance or massive def advantage or first strike. this way the outcome was kinda obvious. awesome batrep tho!
Loved the game. Next time I'd let everyone fore their weapons for the first turn and then remove the dead. Or use the Apoc game rules... or give the defenders a 4++ void shield for turn 1 for the whole army.
Diddnt think my Saturday would get any better
🙂👍
This was great to see, I love this big Apoc games. FYI, while the end result would have likely been the same, the Warhound Scout Titan hits on 3+, not 2+.
This was so mesmerizing!
Your apocalypses are so cool, thanks !
for the models the glue to assemble and the paint how much money is that I wonder
1:20:10 Why was the Titan Hitting on 2s?
The warhound has a BS of 2+ in it's top bracket. It's not until it's down to 22 wounds that it's BS is reduced to 3+,
According to page 104 of the Imperial armour book.
Stat line says it only has 35 wounds though, not the 50 as stated in this game.
I'm not 100% sure that this is the most up to date stat line for it, but I believe so.
Page 104 of the Imperial Armour Compendium (Current 9th ruleset) is the Knight Moirax. I think he was using the 8th Ed rules for the Warhound. Which is a sad reminder of how hard it's been nerfed in 9th Ed.
@@jecwannabe The imperial armour book I was/am referring to was/is index: forces of the astra militarum.
But yes, I do remember titans getting heavily nerfed, just after I bought myself a warhound. :(
Would it be possible to do a sweep of all the 'destroyed' units on the table behind at the end of the video?... absolutely amazing video btw
James Barker continues to be the one verified person on the planet who too often rolls worse than I do with Guard.
Nice board! absolutely no room for manouvers or any real tactics though with so many..keep em coming!
I comment without having watched. GO HARD please Imperial Guard.
I am a simple man. I see the Imperial Guard. I press the like button. THE EMPEROR PROTECTS!
wowoow what is the size of the tabletop for this game?????
12 feet by 6👍😎
in the t'au first shooting phase you were saying longstrike hits on 2+ was there a markerlight i missed because i thought his BS changed to 3+ in the new book.
Thank you!
FYI, it seems the Warhound Titan was using 8th Ed rules. Current rules are found in the Imperial Armour Compendium on page 109. This was a sad reminder to see how hard it's been nerfed this edition. /sadpanda
Great video thank you for your hard work.
that's alot of dakka on the field
10 hours later; the game begins
sound warning 19:30 lol
Sucks that they forgot the shadowsword gets +1 to hit against titanic models.
Could you make some list of casualties or kills for fighting factions in the end.
Because it's difficult to understand who killed whom and how many
Please make it I think it would be pretty useful
I really love your apocalypse warhammer battle reports!
Amazing. More apoc battles please
EPIC!! Fav matchup!!
Oh so we're single rolling saves now
Awesome game as always
My Problem is, I do favorite T'au and Imps as my personell collected Armies. So for whome to vote? I vote, 2day for T'au cause they are like a patty between the bread - for the greater good! Now I am curious who ll win
Muh poor guardz
GLOOORRY!!! i love the chanting ! keep it up
Lol👍🙂🤣
awesome armies guys
Brilliant game, and another tremendously entertaining video. Well done all around! 👍
Thanks👍🙂
Wow....................this is probably more than the GDP of some small nations here.............
so many gunssss
Well, good morning to me.
Man... both armies are just too pretty to watch die! Good thing I am a sick man.
AMAZING!!!
Great video thanks for sharing
How do I become a patron?
Like for our patreon page in video description🙂👍
Yeah boiiiiiii
Best game this year so far 😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smiles.
In life war in death peace in life shame in death atonement
I know that song haha XD DOPE
awww yeah
i dont need to watch this to know guard got stomped
The dude that does all the yelling has a huge schwang
headphone warning pls
LETS GGGOOOOOOOOO
Nice display, not a great scenario. Starting first, with position advantage is a bad recipe. Just a shooting gallery. Anyhoo, I thought Apocalypse games resolved losses simultaneously?
