Today we return to that Tombworld for a proper send off as 12,000 points of Necrons, Tau and Deathwatch fight to survive! Welcome to what we call 40k Features!

Tau: So, temporary truce?
Deathwatch: Foul Xenos, do you really think I would humiliate myself by-
_The planet opens up, revealing a massive Necron army awakening_
Deathwatch: -not taking your generous offer?
facts
For some reason I read that in Sterling Archer's voice
This battle report feels lore accurate; necrons have everyone dead to rights, tau get obliterated in melee range by something beyond their comprehension, and space marines somehow pull a victory by having terminators teleport in at the last second.
Oltyx: is this some human joke I'm too smart too understand?
(Flayer noises in the background)
When the terminators came into the game I heard doom music start playing
Nick's cheerful attitude makes me imagine the T'au commander is trying to be positive and buddy-buddy with the marines and it's hilarious. This was a really fun battle report.
Just want to say that you have outdone yourselves with this one- your best work imo
Thank you!
i absolutely agree!
Without a doubt
Yeah feels bad the necrons are always made to be the bad guys and lose
dont you just hate when you shoot at necrons 90 times and they just keep coming back to life
Or when they outshoot your Tau?
No to both
Wouldn’t happen if you rolled per model instead of all at once…. Mass rolling 20 to see what comes back is far more likely to get stuff back instead of per model, it actively manipulated the statistics unfairly in my opinion
@@alexrowson-brown6568 rolling 20 dice once vs rolling 1 dice 20 times, exactly the same
@@djgamer457 you roll 4 for the first model then 4 for the 2nd etc
You need to res one at a time
I felt that last line. "My inner 12 yr old was super happy. My outer 48 yr old wants to go home and take a nap."
The necron experience is summed up perfectly by Tycho at 33:56
"He kills one... aaaand itpromptlygetsbackup"
That was epic! The terminators teleporting down and holding the line is straight from a Black Library novel!
Also, necron rolls were unbelievable :D
First Company all the way.
Tycho's narration is F#@KING AWESOME!!!
I just started the video, and he's already got me pumped to see the other 60 minutes. Just describing the mission objectives was beyond awesome.
Lost it with the batabatabata for the machine-gun 🤣
@@elijordanguinn6470 yea, that got me too.
I literally posted my comments only having seen 5 min or less of the video. Now that I've seen the entire thing, all I can say is it got even better
it would be great if names of necron units were not messed up lol
@@andrepl7574 eh, if you wanna nitpick.
It is great either way. He's entertaining, and honestly, as little time as they have to prepare before the video has to be ready, it's not a surprise that someone would make mistakes.
I remember barely being able to scrape together a 500pt list; but after a heavy 3 years of hobbing, this video makes me want to throw 5000 pts against another massive army. Looks so much fun! Love you guys❤
I really like doubles battles with big points, brings a whole new kind of dynamic to the game
There's 2 things you should hyped on this video :
Tycho narration and Michael & Brent going all out
So much fun! I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I did!
It's always fun to watch games that feature you Michael!
Thank you for your relentless enthusiam and excitment in playing our robot overlords.
Gods that was amazing! NECRONS!!!
yeaheaaa necrons!
Michael buckthorp I have a strange feeling I heard that name from somewhere 🤔
I love these narrative themed battles. They're so much fun.
really hope the necrons can pull a win i very rarely see them win and they are my favorite
Great content. Super thematic and a fun back and forth.
feels bad that the necrons lose again even tho they had all those dope units :( necrons never be winning these types of battles
Yeah, I'm a necron player too, but I loved the feel. Necrons kept marching on the surface and wiped out the alliance while there was a desperate battle underground where the death watch survived for just enough to blow the machine ... cool ending even if the humies won
Then i have no idea what youre doing with them because theyre literally unfightable, my only option is to play the objectives against them because theyre so silly over powered that id need double their points to be on equal footing
@@wellmanneredpsychopath274 some armies are bad match up for others. As a cron player I hated taking on dark angel termie spam lists.
I can’t imagine the skill of JT with how lots of units have customised models
The deathwatch army is actually made by the channels patreon and TH-cam members.
I love this narretive fights, big armies and a wonderful table.
This was realy much fun to watch.
As he said "my inner 12 year old me" is crying about this epicness.
36:47 And with that quote from The Ultimate Showdown has won Michael my support. Love it.
Excellent job as ever, always glad to watch a PlayOn production.
The sheer amount of toughness from everyone was impressive.
@53:49 - I think the Nightbringer's Necrodermis may have prevented that kill if it had 4 wounds going into that fight phase. "-this model cannot lose more than 3 wounds in the same phase. Any wounds that would be lost after that point are not lost.". I could be wrong ofcourse. But as always, amazing production value, great story, and the terrain is an inspiration for future projects. Play On!
Youre correct but im guessing after whats been over a 6 hour game, production, narrative story. Stopping for cinematic shots, that it was just a mistake. I cant even imagine how long these things take to produce
Thank you for posting that, I was about to do the same.
But I think they also took over 3 damage in shooting with some other C'tan. I'm guessing they forgot the rule.
This would honestly be a good movie for 40k. A last stand to the very end and actually getting the win. The Tau and Marines that are watching from space would be proud that their men who fought to the very end to save the star system
Nick you sent me to the channel after I cut your plywood at rona. I am now officially getting into warhammer thanks to you!
Haha! That’s fantastic! I’m glad you found us!
The terrain setup and underground is beyond epic!!!
I can’t wait 9 hours, I’m betting on necrons
Hopefully Watson will roll hot today!
10th might fix the random slot machine a bit.
Always bet on green!
🐸
Necrons lose😅
I thought they were doomed after turn 1. What a game! Love watching your matches, always so engaging.
So cool; would love to see some more of these tag team battles. Would love to see Vastorr vs Bel’lakor led armies
Best battle report ever. You really outdid yourselfs with this one
Just Awsome i mean it came down to the last roll. That lone Deathwatch held the line and helped stop the Superweapon. Fantastic as always.
I love these more customized, narrative scenarios! The multi-table setup was sick :D
Love the sound effects you did for the tank lmao 10:47
I know y’all have thousands of fans and probably don’t care what I say but I HEAVILY appreciate your passion for making these videos it single handily pushed me to finally start collected. This is my head cannon for how I play and I play for fun:) thank y’all so much it means a lot
We read every single comment. We’re just not able to respond to them all.
@@PlayOnTabletop keep up the amazing work seriously I’m a brand new player and y’all pushed me over the edge to start playing.
Man this was so entertaining and fun to watch, I love how you guys did this, the setup, the narrative, the mood you guys always bring into your games. Keep it up, you guys are doing something really amazing for the entire Warhammer community to enjoy. Love from Latin America.
this one was really, really good. I love the more narrative-focused games! I'm also really impressed by the tables! Amazing gaming tables. Thanks for the video!
Oh MY GOD that was incredible! So many points!!! So many epic Moments! And what an ending! That was so cool!
The starting intro is genuinely amazing! You guys are doing great!! Keep it up!!! Can’t wait for more up close Tau vids (and other armies I just love tau 😊)
56:37 nice Dethklok reference 🤘 and what an awesome narrative game !
Those Necron hordes terrified me, as a tau inthusiest, I am hoping for you Nick, FOR THE GREATER GOOD!!!
Seeing my two favorite armies team up, Farsight Enclaves and Deathwatch, is like a dream come true for younger me!
Truly Epic, I enjoyed watching this while painting a squiggoth. The armies were gorgeous... and that ending!
This. Was. The. Best video ever. Do more of this pls, I love what you do btw
This looks like a solid saturday afternoon. And an encore match throughout the night
This battle report brings a tear of nostalgia to my eye- this was the last time we saw a relevant Deathwatch army on the table. Now that the imperial agents codex is out and Deathwatch got hit with a GodHammer-pattern Nerf bat, it's really sad watching this again and realizing what Deathwatch used to be, what once was and never will be again.
The King of Split Fire with the King of Overkill is Best Kill always makes for a funny dynamic lol
This is without any doubt your best video ever! That is exactly how i image 40k should be played! Thank you so much for this masterpiece. I have never been so thrilled watching someone push some minis on the table :D
Great job, guys! Love the 2v2, love the narrative bits, love love love the two tier weird map. Very fresh, very entertaining!
That was AMAZING! I love these types of videos! Great work in production, SFX, narration and to all who played! You can’t ask for anything more.
36:47 "This is the ultimate showdooown, of ultimate destinyyyy"
This was so epic!!!! The tombworld series was my favorite I miss it so much but thank you play on for so epic moments. You are my reason to wake up ❤
The way you made the story in this the highlight was beautiful. The addition of the extra things.. The green beams from the necrons shooting into space etc just add to the immersion. Great job guys..
oh baby im hyped for this one
I just got into tabletop 40k and these videos are so good! Keep them coming guys, FOR THE EMPEROR!
i realy love the mission with a twist and modifed arrwea. that was amazing to watch and very exiting with the impending doom! also love to see nick with his taau again!
I watched from the uk and brilliant narration and great gameplay and sportsmanship really enjoyed watching always love these videos 👍 I have ultramarines and my son has necron so love it when both armies are playing
That terrain is absolutely awesome
Clipping Tycho going "badabadabada" to play whenever I fire my cannons from now on.
I just stumbled upon this and I have to say I absolutely love this!!
Alright, you outdid yourselves with this one. Better than your Battle of Armageddon with Orks vs Guard and Black Templars.
If you haven’t already done so, put this in your featured playlist, PlayOn! Right there with the endless hordes of Nids vs Ultramarines and that Battle of Armageddon!
Wow, Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny reference??? Mike is definitely my favorite guest.
I haven’t watched y’all’s content in a bit but I am excited for this video
dont ever want to get into collecting the miniatures myself but i gotta say, those new necrons look awesome
Motivation to finish painting my Deathwatch incoming.
This is Phenomenal.
Good Job J.T. it's always important to take out as many Xenos a you can.
Still irks me that Space Marines can run away. 😠
A glocktopus?
PEEERRY THE GLOCKTOPUS?
As a cron player it's great to see some of the other models you don't see on the table very often, like the pylon and the sentinel
That ultimate showdown reference XD
This whole video was just "We kill X necros"
Necrons, reanimating: Stop telling people I'm dead!
Hah! I was not expecting the dethklok reference at around 56 mins. Excellent battle report and excellent taste.
I've just realised the red devilfish has a recon drone for a cupola! awesome conversion nick!
That used to be how you run them! Its designed too! When a pathfinder team was in a devilfish the recon drone could go right in he cupola. And it gave ge devilfish special rules.
@@PlayOnTabletop Really? that's such an awesome design feature, shame that doesn't work for rules anymore though...
I'll sue Play On for my broken jaw in the ground right now. WHAT A FUCKING GREAT GAME, GOOD GODS! I NEVER THOUGHT I'D SEE A BETTER GAME THAN THAT 8000 POINT MARINES VS TYRANIDS BUT DAMN!
This was such a cool game. I'm playing a 20k battle on sunday With my 8k and a friends 2k necrons vs 10k mostly imperials, including a warlord titan. And I'm very inspired after this battle report. Thanks you for the great content.
36:47 HUZZAH! A MAN OF QUALITY!
Wow! the amount of effort that had to go in to the terrain for this game is crazy
Incredibly fun game to watch. Thank you guys for doing this (playing, editing, painting and narrating!) The narrative ending was spot-on, neither team a loser. Audience the biggest winners of all.
Now that was Pyrrhic,but in this case, a victory at any cost is worth it.
This is honestly epic! Its the best battle report ive ever seen! Has given me and the boys some fantastic ideas!
Love the idea of Watson being a Durandal level A.I. just being reanimated over and over as a new rail cannon gunner, Son of Wattz, Necron Bombardier
One of the players was taking nice photos. I would LOVE some of em for my 4k backgrounds!
The way this played out was just so quintessentially 40k. Loved this video folks.
You really should do more batreps like this, it was amazing and so much fun! A lot more interesting than regular matched play
Loved this so far! Great game again between Mubin and Tak
SM Steve when split fire: I fire my dreadnought on your Army......
The Best video and narrative I've seen on your channel. That was great!
This was an amazing game! Loved watching the swings between the teams and how close some of the rounds could be, can't wait to see you guys make more 3+ player games like this one
Amazing! A welcome bit of narrative combat is such a wonder to watch. Can't wait for the next installment!
Such a sick battle report! Everything about this video was amazing
One Deathwatch marine, badly wounded , holding on to the objective long enough for the First Company to reinforce just before he is overrun.
THEN at the LAST possible moment, pushes the green button to sacrifice himself and thwart the Necron.
Chills guys. Literal chills
Absolutely awesome. I loved the underground section. It was soo tense and close. Brilliant works guys
I agree, has to be my top pick of my to ten battle reports you have done to date and definitely my favourite out of all the battle reports I have watched :)
36:49 😂😂😂 THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN!!!!
Super thematic was genuinely enthralled. Would love to see a animated movie of this. Would pay money for that.
Wow. Was on the egde of my seat the whole time. Amazing!
I was not expecting an Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny reference in 2023 but we live in strange times.
Fantastic report! Necrons are scary robros.
This just makes me want to build my own custom Deathwatch force. JT's lot have INSPIRED me BIG TIME!
Criiiikey. Dealing with those necrons as Tau is so, so horrendous!!
Tau throwing absolutely everything and the Necron to do basically no damage, and them coming right back the next turn and out-shooting everybody.
I love these tag team huge battle BAT reps. Please keep doing them! I hope we can get more Grey Warden shenanigans going on! Thanks for the vid!
That lone Phobos marine surviving that onslaught and managing to hit the button was such a worthy end.
Orks are probably real sad for missing this propa battla.
The Deathwatch and Tau moments away from fighting eachother are surprised by the sudden awakening of the necron tomb world and are forced intoan uneasy alliance. Now on a mission where they will all likely see their doom. The necrons of this planet had an unholy level of resilience, their ability to just get back up made them true horrors to the combined forces. Almostimmediatly bad luck strikes and the Tau are quickly being over run and Deathwatch take harsh losses. The defenders of the device are hammered and a single marine holds the point. In a critical moment a necron lord shoots up at him and the blast nearly takes him down. But the marine holds fast and barely stands his ground as his allies fall he must hold and wait hoping he can complete the mission.
The tau are slowly obliterated and Deathwatch aren't doing much better. The tomb world rises up even more forces and the reinforcements hardly help. But hold the enemy off a little longer. A single terminator squad relieves the injured marine at the device determiend to hold the line for the comrade to finish the mission. The leech guard are too slow to reach them but the wraith pile in and the terminators swap them like flies. Only a few moments remain before the final soldiers outside fall and begin to go down the stairs and the cavern below has awoken leaving them surrounded.
Injured and barely able to stand the veteran still standing manages to enact the final sequence and the crystal goes up. While none would survive they had done, a victory, filled with loss, but a victory none the less.
Ended up watching the whole thing. very well done ^^
Definitely the best episode you've done yet. I'm guessing the length of the match made everyone forget that c'tan shards cant take more than three wounds a phase. Or that the super weapon had four wounds at the start of the game and turn 2 they failed a roll for damage, so somewhere an extra point of damage was dealt. Either that or I'm just confused by all the glory I witnessed.
