welcome back to Vanguard tactics it's Wednesday so you know what that means it's a live stream game tonight I'm going to be using the Thousand Suns and I'm joined by Chris the Rhino not the big orange tanned man no how are you I'm very good I'm I'm glad to be back and uh playing some of my favorite custodies amazing so obviously B St slate is in effect we're not centry it anymore the room has not stopped of time so we can play game properly um so again it wouldn't be a Vanguard tactic stream without the illustrious people in the room right now so going from left to right we have sebie on the deck he's going to wave at me and always be exactly we've got Jord how you doing yes all good mate I'm excited to see how the custodies do with their changes yeah it's going to be really interesting this and then we have my vice captain from the it the Kastle run the man himself the Rainman and also a literal psychopath it is Michael Castello how are you I'm well thank you still recovering from the the weekend yeah so I I'll give you some context quickly Michael for no reason like he does every team event just goes I'll play 120 GA and then the swarm of course why not and just proceeded just to absolutely some people who needs a lower back oh yeah exactly um and then finally we have giggly ghost cam ready to give you some awesome epic shots of the game of these beautifully painted models from uh ben. paints Miniatures on one one of our students in fact yes who's provided this thousand suns Army so I may go be magic and obviously Chris your lovely Army as well well yeah let's not let's not zoom in on those quite as much let's focus on the nice the nice we we got Tran we got nice TR awesome so that's all the intro of all the people Michael would you like to tell us what we're actually doing today other than playing 4K yes so the mission today is priority Target now what that means is at the end of your command phase you're going to get five victory points for holding one objective and five victory points for holding two objectives for a maximum of 10 victory points per command phase now this will apply for both players in every command phase after the first that includes the fifth battle round at the end of the battle though each player will receive five victory points for each objective marker they control up to a maximum of 15 so the player going second will score Primary in their command phase and at the end of the battle yes the mission rule is chilling rain yeah well we see it a lot um and we're on some Search and Destroy deployment so that's the table quarters you can see the thousand suns in the top right and the codes in the bottom left there is actually a rumor that no game of 40K has ever been played in not chilling rain the weather is bad in the millenum fact yeah the weather there's no weather people because it never changes um amazing so that is the mission today so armies wise who are we going to be starting out with you mate well that's great so I am running the Thousand Suns today so leading the force is the pinkhead God himself Magnus who we've also learned a bit of law about before the stream yeah I'm not allowed to say any more about the end of the death though am I no you're not allowed to say any more about the end of the death because I think the chat will murder us um so we've got him he's super cool he's the warlord we've got araman not on dis uh it's just I didn't have the I I was five points over you can drop him down to F doesn't make MBE a difference he's still on the same base size so it's not going to make too much of a difference he's in the end in the death though I bet is and it seems like everyone's in this book um then I've got two infernal Masters so one has Lord of forbidden law the other has Arcane Vortex I've got two exalted Sorcerers on diss as well one is represented by as angle Shaman so I will say that now so just in case there's any confus um six units of rubrics it's pretty standard so I've got 10 a unit of 10 with flamers and I've got five units of five with a soul Reaper flamer and Flame pistol in each um some of them in Rhino some of them are in St Reserve we can go through that after um and then two rhinos because you got to get Rhino got to get yeah well I thought you know in your honor and then I've got teit of enlightened uh now one thing that is wrong on my list with because I didn't actually realize they had two weapon options I just assume they the default option these guys do have bows not Spears okay and then that's itan the models have bows I didn't know they could not have I didn't know they couldn't either so um you know you learn something new every day um cool so that's my list very very nice it's got loads of K points hopefully I'll get to show off a bit few tricks and stuff that I've learned from playing thousand suns a lot well against them not as them really um yeah so Chris new custodes well it's not new cuz it's sort of back to old custodes nothing's ever really new with with custos you know they've been around for 10,000 years and they'll be for another 10 yeah and they in the end of the day there are some of them in the end of the day one two and three well they are getting invaded their home so right go for it so um I have taken three units of five custodian I was about to say sang sanguinary guard then but no they're custodian guard um and one unit of wardens um each of these units has a character in it so the wardens are LED by tran valores tran tran tran um I've taken two blade champions for two of the cassidian Guard units one of the whom has the the upgrade of more attacks it might be called The Veil blade blade there we are thank you very much like a soundboard veiled blade veiled blade veiled blade uh and the final one has a little so I have taken Lord Inquisitor Drax um however on my way here I didn't bring her so we have this lovely other Lord Inquisitor draxus here who is just a lady with a sword and a Griffin and she is not in the end of the Town she's not she's actually in K City she is yes um great shooting output um kind of excited to to use her for a change um I've unit four witch Seekers these are the flamer ladies a callidus assassin um the one who dis jumps around the table every turn and then just around the list out two kadius grav tanks these are the ones with the blaze Cannon so they kind of like shoot a bunch of L Cannon type shots at you yeah they are super Coolin cool and and potentially an end of I don't recall them being in the end that's okay nice so that's the mission that's that I yes George uh we've had a couple of super chats so uh first one's from Clayton Sanford he said don't know who to pull for guess I will pull for t- Sun since Magnus is red to be honest some of those custodies have got red cloaks so you got bit deliberation red and all my bases are red the dice tray is red and the dice tray is red yeah um but he also gifted 10 Vanguard tactics memberships you absolute Legend So if you have been gifted a membership just make sure to say thank you to Clayton in the chat um and then we have a super chat from Grim dark ash he said got to practice games against custodes to Saturday so looking forward to Jake showing me how to smash them sorry Chris # sorry not sorry looking forward to this absolute Legend thank you so much for the Super Chat and it's going to be an interesting game how you boys feeling yeah all right I think um it's going to be an interesting one because this used to be probably actually a really easy game for Thousand Suns of all the de WS predat slate turn two the Army would be destroyed yeah um so you know game for turn three now I guess we'll see how many four UPS CHR can roll well I don't have a great history of doing that um to anyone other than Steve who I have a tremendous history of doing that that's why notp why he here that's purposely why he's you know not here today um nice yeah I think uh I think it's going to be really interesting I think Cades have had a lot of ranting and raving about from the community of being one of the biggest winners of the data slate so it will be interesting to see we had the Jakari on last week that had quite a big buff and I managed to best them so hopefully we g t for two not too sure speaking of which uh tactical and fixed what have you both gone for I have gone tactical and Chris um I have not I've gone for fix I have taken assassinate because I think you have six characters see the comment section now because obviously I can see into the future it would be silly not to you would probably moan more if he didn't go yeah and and I actually prefer playing tactical but I I think this is two good opport to pass up so I've taken assassinate and deploying teleport homers nice did they deploy teleport homers in the end of the death uh they did actually um did it work maybe well how many points I can't really tell you that without spoiling the final scene of the book okay the bit where the End by Lincoln Park plays well it happened after the death whoa whoa whoa whoa you better keep that mouth shut Chris okay I don't want to know no spoilers right yeah yeah as you open the final page of the book and you've read all of it it just plays the Lincoln part you tried so hard you come so far and in the end it really didn't matter matter right um so let's roll off let's roll off so I roll a six and I really didn't want roll a six so go on Match me come on Match Me Okay cool so I get to go first you do get to go first best of luck luck before we go to the before we go to the top down I'm going to do my cabal points I'll do this once just say if anyone's unfamiliar with thousand Sun so what you do you count all the Wizards on the table okay right and what we've been by on the table is not in rhinos cuz apparently anyone on the table they're busy okay okay so in this case I've got Magnus has gives me four little wizard man gives me two so I've got six six to play with this six to play with this turn um so let's have a look and then we got cards no prisoners a killer unit don't actually know how possible that is right and attempting Target Chris pick me an objective please uh I think we're going to go for the middle cool so I've got to if I hold the middle I get Five Points nice right so if you want to go to the top down mute us and we will play the game okay play the game let's take a moment to appreciate color Forge our fantastic sponsor their range of spray paints has become our go-to for making our Miniatures come to live quickly and efficiently the quality and variety of colors they offer are truly unmatched providing a smooth application for stunning effects every time check out color Forge for your next hobby project okay Mike we are back and it's me and you on deck tonight it is indeed good to be here um good to see the custodes back we have missed them and it's also nice to see Ben's um thousand suns I have to actually say it's quite refreshing seeing such a loud color scheme on stream yeah because a lot of our armies tend to be quite subdued in their paint jobs it's quite standard paint job in in terms of like the color schemes and stuff um but that is some very strong pink ha we got going with Magnus and I love it I love it yeah yeah Magnus is awesome um so how are you feeling about the custodi changes because obviously they've had arguably something that people have been screaming for for quite a while right yes uh and I expect that we'll have to see some of these saves against Mortal wounds be changed or rolled back to apply to Dev wounds as well across other armies so the biggest changes for custodes was obviously being able to get their Detachment rule yeah um for the four plus f a pain against Dev wounds yeah they also got points drops on some of their units yeah for sure but that is it from the most recent data slate and I'm not sure it's really enough um for them we'll see in this game but now getting a 50% chance to survive a attack that only wounds you on a six does that change that much I don't know I it's it's hard to tell right I think there's been such a even though the previous ban St like did more I feel like this has had a bit more of an impact on the meta because yeah of the standings of the meta right yeah absolutely so it's going to be interesting to see how the custodians end up doing um compliments on the table thank you guys we strive to uh make the tables look beautiful no roads today I'm sorry yeah no roads I wasn't able to put any roads on the table but maybe next time they don't have roads in the jungle Mike yeah there definitely no roads in the jungles no exactly absolutely um but yeah basically um thousand Sons yes I've seen quite a few people saying that they needed some more changes um what's your thoughts on that um so thousand I don't know exactly what their win rate was okay um according to the local the the recent met the local meta watch the recent meta watch um so if you are familiar pop it in the chat so I can have a look but um you know maybe their win rate was within that 45 to 55 bracket and Games Workshop felt they didn't need a change yeah uh and if that that's the case fine maybe they'll do better because some of those big factions like helar CSM have been affected I guess we'll find out um but yeah they probably could have done with maybe a few points touches here I think yeah I think that's probably the first thing with them isn't it because they're not exactly a faction from my experience that's really struggling to a massive degree um they're doing all right yeah ex basically they're doing all right exactly uh nashy said I think it was basically 50% right well um llan it's perfectly fine then isn't it 50% stop complaining you pessimistic with internal balance yeah so he's shoting on the academy and he was like uh self like admitting that he's like just really pessimistic a compartive pessimistic player but um uh no I do agree like it's difficult to find a place with thousand sons in in the current meta you got to really rely on your characters um there's not really enough data sheets to support the Army uh as we can see here there's so many rubric squads yeah o yeah and Ben paints is in the chat watching his beautiful thousand suns AR me on the table yeah you're absolute Legend we did have a super chat from Clayton though okay uh 121 votes in the poll and only 11 likes for the stream yeah guys come on we need to pump those likes up we have got 200 people watching right now so it would be amazing if you could just drop a like on the video um and then he said got to pump those numbers up Jord are you excited about taking 50 plus jumpack intercessors so um well I don't think you can legally do that well you can't legally do that no however you can in my dreams you can oh in your dreams my dreams have you ever actually had a dream about Warhammer every night um so basically I was going to take the new son of sanguinius Detachment to beach head this weekend but I had a couple of games um and got absolutely hammered twice um right the game yeah and then what happened in the game Jake just said but I I just find Sun s I was telling you on the way in that s sanguinus just feels like a Detachment where it has teeth right but then it's so easy to counter and yeah fair enough hit back so and it's hard to trade up with Marines anyway yeah well to be honest nobody really cares about blood angels but just before we go to Jake on The Stream uh guys let me know if you've ever had a dream about Warhammer and if you'll happily a admit it in a public forum then fair play to you um right well I have as well you know I dreamed about winning the lva did you dream about nearly winning the it yeah I did as well yeah Castle I dreamed actually more about Han Solo's bloody [ __ ] whatever it's called the Millennium Falcon then I did and I have like on that night actually I got home I've been doing about that [ __ ] for 30 years yeah Michael was my chew backer I can see that I I'm not even going that was ter that was better I'm not even going to now one the things people probably care about other than my lovely dreams um we had a bit of a dilemma because i' got a Drew tempting Target Zango enlightened on discs sadly and not infantry so they can't go through walls so I kept measuring it to see if I can get them on it and it just wasn't happening not without a six on the advanced what I did is the Rhino not you this rhino got the rubrics out with araman they now all in the buildings they can't be shot and then the Rhino Advanced up onto the objective get me tempting Target I'll happily take the trade and also it gives me some caral points for next turn as well which is super important um this rhino with the infernal Masters in with their rubric squads are have just moved up ready to potentially maybe do some counter punching Zango enlightened have just flown over to that objective purely because again like in this Mission you don't need to hold threee but I think this is going to die so I'm not going to hold it so having the extra one as a redundancy is good good ide and Chris very sportingly reminded me that his blade guard whatever it's called blade champ with his dudes can run run in charge and real advance and charges yeah so because of that it means that i' I've just edged the enlightened on the objective on the far bit just so they're touching it and it means then Chris can't consolidate them all back into the building so first off it means I'll be able to shoot them and it makes getting there harder as well but we said you needed a seven but that's with a six on the advance yeah so they're 19 inches away from where they're starting basically um other than that uh so that is going to be it uh so I'm going to get tempting Target for five I'm going to discard any prisoners uh because I just think it's going to be a bit of an uphill struggle to get um that's going to put me up to two command points and then going into Chris's turn I'll go at the end of your turn I'll lift up my uh my assassin y ready to come back and then because of that now at the start of Chris's turn I'm going to be up to three command points I got to two nice yes Jordan uh we have had a couple of super chats so the first one's from Adam Goose he said this channel needs a Nerf way too strong Wednesdays at 700 p.m. my favorite time of the week you absolute Legend mate yeah absolute Legend mine's like Thursday at like 6:30 um and then we've had another Super Chat from Kelsey said I believe in you Jake lvo 2025 I love Kelsey with all my being he was a hero as well and he's done some fantastic photos of of all the Vanguard tactics workshop and stuff oh nice that I have now got in a Google doc that he very last minute CU I asked him and didn't expect him and he just went above and beyond put them all of his all of our photos in a Google doc so now I can give that to Steve if he wants it and we can use it for all of our cool stuff I like it I love Kelsey he also brought us like a ton of food from Hawaii and it's like stuff I've never had before and it was amazing so thank you so much and I love you cuz I wasn't already feeling like I missed out on lva just keep telling me about all the great stuff that happened it was good fun and I and everyone got a lesson in ligh houses which is great yeah enough about that yeah nice so I've just got like fluff on me um cool so what what I have no command face things and you have no cards and I have no cards so quick game is apparently a good game um we'll get in my movement phase if you want to jump to the top down by Lu all right so um decent turn from the Thousand Suns there got some points um I wonder if we could have double moved some enlightened but I think a rhino is a better throwaway than a unit of enlightened um in in this game I don't know if it's just a psyo that can double move no can you can do it I Tove okay so Jake did consider it but he wants to save the enlightened for a different uh situation and I think a rhino less useful than enlightened at this current stage so we've got five points on the board for Jake uh for tempting Target got rid of no prisoners so he's got three CP to Chris's two not 21 boom that should be updated now yep uh we'll have noticed that of course the Glorious pinkhead Magnus has stayed behind the building because those cadius grab tanks pack a punch um and the Thousand Suns don't really want to engage over the distance what I like here is a a slower early turn in the game mhm which now means that we can see a lot more units getting into the action when the game starts really mattering yeah um and obviously Magnus will come out and do some real work as soon as there's a custodes Target um to go for it's gon to be weird right because um Chris kind of has to move out of his bricks of um his wardens and his his custodians onto those objectives and Jake just wants to to shoot him to death right yeah so it it is strange because you've got um an army that wants to sit on objectives in custodians and you've got thousand Sons which struggle to sit on objectives yeah they always struggle with primary thousand suns um so if the custodes can stay on those objectives whilst also sending out that advanc and charge unit um to take Magnus off not Magnus the Thousand sons of the objectives uh then we could see some some good scoring obviously the biggest thing for Chris is the fact that he has to get assassinate yeah and whether that turns out to be um an issue for him because the Thousand Suns don't need to send the characters out that's true Magnus will probably have to come out to do some damage but there's lots of ranged attacks coming from the characters um so provided Chris keeps the focus on objective markers the Thousand Suns will have to commit characters in order order to use the OC of rubric squads and so forth and of course the rituals uh to deal with them yeah to be fair my experience with both these factions is very little um I've only played each faction once or twice um so I've only ever seen what we've done on stream or like that one game I had at an event and it's interesting to see how they perform because I mean at the start of 10th I remember custodes were one of the big baddies of um of the addition and thousand Sons weren't far behind really with the amount of mortal wound spams that they were doing and um yeah it's it's crazy to see how how The Meta has just changed yeah yeah it's it is it is wild um so with the Chang with Dev wounds um and then of course all the codexes coming out people really finding their teeth with um Eldar and CSM um thousands kind of were it was very obvious where the power in Thousand sons was was um and uh so I think that's why we initially saw their inherent power whereas the the power of CSM was all in there marks um specific units you know neural transports all that was less inherent straight away um but we're about to see things kick off soon enough the Thousand Suns do do a huge amount of damage yes from range as soon as they start kicking off um they're shooting indirectly with psychic weapons Doom to just do Mortal wounds to targets within range which is the other thing you got to watch out for Chris has got um Kio draxus who makes the unit on target over 18 inches yeah um and also has of course the lone operative assassin mhm but a single Doom bolt can do a lot of damage to those squads yeah definitely um now draxus obviously is leading some custodians so he won't do so much damage against those because you'll have a save against the moral wounds yeah uh nashy I'll ask Jake when we go back to table and I'll get him to explain which characters have gone with which so you don't have to watch it back mate you can stay with us live um and big hero Z said how did strength 10 power fist go for you in your game Jord um the strength 10 power fist weren't really the the highlights it was actually chains swords right um so I played Beast sagger Orcs And it was actually really interesting to see that I got plus three to wound in in one situation because you go from strength four and then strength five strength six so that's you've already beat their toughness now so that's plus two to wound and then when you play the Lance Strat you're getting another plus i' wounding Orcs on twos with chains swords yeah it's pretty mad um that is it's insane the the jumps you can get with just ordinary weapons um and with being blood angels you can combine sangary priest to obviously up the ap of weapons it can really be devastating but again the the same issue I find with sons of sanguinius is you don't get very very much STP support um I I feel like you really miss a um uh what's it called reactive move yeah in the Detachment I think that's what you you really do miss in that Detachment um but strength 10 power fist is always great yeah uh Ali said hi guys was lucky enough to meet the main man Mr Jake Harding at it on the weekend what an awesome guy uh so down to earth and happy to take time out for us ordinary folk what an ambassador for VT oh well I hate to break it but we are pretty much ordinary folk except Jak Jake who is a demig God but uh he's the god of handsomeness we all wish we could be Jake Paul Bridge okay Paul Bridge has asked about movement with the the Rhino and pivoting um I did do it properly Jake did do it properly there you go Paul he even watched I watched him yeah he watched me do it properly um I will say as well there there was loads of people that came over it and said Alo and I just want to say thank you everyone because it was was really really lovely and um yeah it was just great really really made my weekend above everything out it was actually just a fantastic weekend uh after a terrible terrible terrible week I had so it made my it made my day you Mike as well all of our team we all made it and it was just great it was great after the event we were all in such high well I was gutted personally but I was in such high spirits and everything El still when you're on man yeah I thought well I saw Steve had it on the on the side I thought in honor of uh to remind him who the captain is it's me so it's me just just to make sure just say you the man um so we didn't actually roll for draxis in the command phase so on a two-up she get thing so she's un she's loan up outside 18 yeah the unit can't be targeted outside of 18 yeah which I don't think is going to matter cuz it's in the middle of because it's quite ironic cuz it's like all my guns are 12 in and then the one thing that isn't 12 in is Magnus but but he can just do he can just do it yeah he doesn't care he's like blang you're all dead um okay so movement wise um I've Advanced the unit over here um we've measured it out if they go for a charge this turn they'll need a nine um and you've also made sure to just stay like 9.1 away so your charge is a nine but I can't move D6 ex yeah so I'm I'm I'm not close quite close enough you can't trigger the ability but you still need a nine I'd like to pretend that was clever but what it actually was was a r to four any ADV so that's as far as I can move um the cidus the two cadius tanks kidus tanks cadius cadius because otherwise it's going to get confusing with the the two the two tanks have come out to get line on the Rhino um that one there just turned on to the objective um big unit with Inquisitor in the middle has come onto the U there to advance on here but they can still action because there's an assault weapons in the unit um so they'll be doing my teleporter Homer this turn so that'll get you three that'll get me three and then a little bit shooting I think think oh so start of the phase I'm going to spend two Kabal points I've got a load of them and there's nothing else I can really use them on cuz they're all going to reset again yeah uh so I can pick a unit with an 18 and it can roll a save so I'm going to do it on the the Rhino the Rhino yeah just if it comes up for some reason it may come up clutch you never know yeah definitely what are you hitting on threes or twos twos I imagine uh yeah two how much AP three I will I got lethal against Vehicles yeah fine why not cuz I've also got some CP that I don't really know I'm going to spend one to pop smoke as well so I've got cover and on threes now yeah and I'll get a five up save versus it sounds good never know we'll do the first one over there then it's little Rhino uh so four shots from the Twin AR arachnus Blaze Cannon uh well there made a difference this is uh strength 12 so [Applause] oh uh three five ups and I can roll one of these uh so I roll two all right okay okay well you know it's better to be lucky than good another thing I said quite a lot over the weekend I remember hearing that on the table next to me yeah um yeah there was a very funny moment happening that shouldn't be happening and it was this like it's better to be lucky than good double six on Casino canons Happ um all right it's other SL gun uh missed twice but that is sustained one and Leal or just the only the big gun uh strength six so one wound one wound AP AP one so fa that one damage uh cool say down to an amount of wounds uh nine uh and then the other one will shoot you as well y well well that happened is this going to go down as the greatest CP ever spent uh it would say five up Jake what you because I've got all my luck out now what are you doing to me this isn't good uh two hits winning on fives uh twin link uh this is not twin link the main gun's twin link are you sure the there's two of them uh definitely okay weird it's a twin as opposed to a twin link oh okay because why wouldn't it be um all right shooting somehow that happened well they can't shoot or charge um so the Rhino survived to RH took one wound from yeah 430 points of cadius jeez so um I'm GNA have to come up with another another solution for that good job Zin yeah actually smoke pop smoke did it pop smoke did do it pop smoke stopped three hits in total on the big what a guy you underestimate some smoke yeah go Jake I've got two questions yeah um first off what characters a leading what in your army oh so I've got the D two infernal Masters are leading teen five rubrics Aran is leading the 10man rubrics and actually I've got two uh solo bowling exalted Sorcerers solo balling ex nice nice um and the other thing is we have had a super chat from Joshua um he said now that the mainstream heresy series is wrapped up what are some of your favorite Primark fights I can't get over Vulcan dual wielding Thunder hammers on Magnus and stuff of Legends we'll go around the room Jake uh fa like it's probably quite you know feris man is full G is quite a cool fight that's quite cool and there's also like emotion and stuff and you know like swap weapons and all that yeah I probably probably that cuz it's just it's the only one that if you would like cuz you've just asked me that I can't actually think of any other ones than that one so because of that it has to be that Chris oh I mean I with no spoilers yeah so so without referencing the end in the Death part three beyond what halfway through halfway through Beyond halfway or just any of it just for the listeners at home I quite liked uh from an earlier one in the series um it the unremembered Empire or faros where what's the night Lords cor Conrad Cur Cur is on mcra and fighting um gulman and the lion at the same time that's pretty that enjoyed that isn't that and nearly K that's not un I know which book you mean it might be faros is it is it the one after Vulcan like Vulcan is also falls to the planet and he like the same what up guys and then they will have a big fight but vulcan's kind of lost his mind a bit at that point yeah cuz he's been killed about 10 20 tortured on the uh on the spaceship yeah nice um so that's my favorite cuz cuz he neither kills them and it's only to Shenanigans that he doesn't just get a double primar kill dou nice Mike well I'm going to have to read about that one um I mean this Vulcan Jew woing thunderhammer sounds good as well yeah now actually the only Primark fight I've heard or read is sanguinius versus Horus um but I won't go into any of the details because Jordan might cry um I've already got a tear for me so uh I haven't actually read any of the primar Jews so I'm not fit to comment on this um but the ones mentioned already sound awesome so I might have to check them out sanguinus versus angron is the greatest fight yeah he a sick fight yeah that is like or even sanguinius versus that big blood first sanguinius yeah yeah just like pting him yeah sanguinus versus kabanda kabanda yeah fights him twice kabanda the panda yeah kabanda big blood ther um Nathan no sanguinus versus Horus is not my favorite fight it's something that I try and forget the daily it's an awesome fight for the first phase like it the first round comat like peak of his ability and before it does the whole kind of Super Saiyan moment where it doesn't really matter how good you are because plot he got fight first you've charged into him it's just over yeah Horus is just he's he's busted so to get us back on track let us know chat what your favorite primar fight is and Chris will round up his turn and why is it sanguinous well I'm going to the best one will get a Chris P five um I'm going to use my once per game advance and charge from the blade Champion into these this unit of discs yep G people on frisbe zor enlightened G people on frisbe 9 in charge with an inil roll good start that's an eight that didn't go very well um so at the end of that I've scored three points for deploying teleport and zero for assassinate that's a solid three point sir it is but you know what it's still a game it's a game you are right Chris are right um cool so my turn I'm going to get 10 primary because I hold three but you can only get two uh you hold two oh yeah sorry you've got more I still get 10 anyway still get 10 um I get one CP put me up to three cabal points wise will do it again so four 6 7 8 9 10 this time oh Aran does some cheeky bonus ones yeah he gives me three yeah he gives me three and then he can let me do one for three like he's a good wizard he is a good wizard the best Wizard and then and then overwhelming Force so kill things on objective So currently you really and this one and engageing all fronts so we' got some units in reserve so that should be fine so yeah uh cool let's top down top down let but before we continue I'd like to give a quick shout out to our sponsor The Outpost if you're looking for great deals on your Miniatures paints and gaming supplies we've got you covered they wide variety of exceptional service makes them the go-to destination for all hobby needs so don't wait check out The Outpost today Link in the description below hey turn two underway not much happened turn one uh we fail the 9in charge but it is a 9in charge so aage we don't usually make it um and to be fair Chris doesn't need the advanc and charge again because the unit is literally right there yeah um we don't need to advance to charge with that unit uh but Jake now has to deal with the custodies presented to him so uh yeah he's got that blade champ to deal with he's got Jax's unit to deal with which he's going to have to get within 18 in of if he wants to use Magnus against them Y and of course there's the omnipresent tanks which which apparently don't do anything anyway uh when you're looking at a Blue Rhino like that when you got a ghost flying off the top I'd be terrified well the ghost was the smoke so it was just truec it was a very very scary ghost called the Ghostbusters and you'll beat the Thousand Sons um but we have had 20 gifted uh Vanguard tactics memberships from the one and only John mardle you absolute Legend so thank you so much and guys if you have been gifted a membership

Drop which was basically um our overview of the new Jakari rules from the balance status late y interesting situation with them yeah I don't think it's enough to make them competitive but it does give them um a place to be like actually gives them a place in the competitive scene yeah previously they just didn't have a place in the hand of a of a good player which there are some really really good jaari players out there yeah there are plenty um so yeah definitely it it's going to it's going to boost the faction up to a level which will make it interesting to play against yeah like I'm looking forward to playing them you know at a big event yeah um and it it being a challenge yeah definitely I'm looking forward to that definitely um how are you feeling for this weekend um yeah confident I think is Jake ready I think Jake's ready he's ready okay all right oh do you want a rapid in Rapid Ingress oh and Jake can you let us know what Aura you did for Magnus it's got minus one damage uh minus one damage on Magnus what a surprise they deep strike very sad the custodies strikes oh oh this is a this is a big play this is like a a monolith turning up in the back field oh now that's a big sh there's no enemy Outpost if he oh no you can't draw it that's the that's the one benefit I didn't realize that's my own fault did you not know that no no it's fine it doesn't matter it doesn't matter it doesn't matter just do it just do it it's funny cuz I there's a potential I could kill some just let me double check I assume they do because now thinking about it I wouldn't be surprised if too yeah yeah cool so this is five custodian guards and a blade Champion with the veiled blade at least get just rapid Ingress in the top right corner there right cool um Jake's not happy about it he's stifling his tears it's okay that's what we call got right there yeah so it's the only way to play um cool so main thing I've done so the other thing I I haven't mentioned it but um I said I did tell Chris before the game is what I would be doing is I'm actually not going to be doing Dev wounds this game we Phil we found a use for sustains so um all of my psychic attacks are sustained the only reason is is because this may be wrong maths but my logic is that if I make you roll one save and it's a four like you have a 50/50 chance of dying yeah whereas if I make you roll three and you roll one four one cust lives so it's like less chance you know in The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring when Bilbo says I like half of you less than half of what you deserve and something else that nobody in the room even understands yeah what what did you just say oh it's basically like the maths on like you have more of a chance of rolling a four on three dice than you do on one dice that is correct yeah that is correct so that's why I haven't gone de Wings it will make sense when Magnus shoots okay so what you're saying is a damage three if they fail the inv yeah they're dead they die rather than if you take the dev wound you have to roll three and then if you roll one four you live and then surely it's better to have two out of the three go through then one sa your BL I think it doesn't make a blind bit difference how however I'm going to also try Su stained cuz I don't want to just be like here's all these death wounds and then just watch well we're trying to test the custodes well let's see how it goes shall we his math is correct yeah yeah cool so right let's give it a go so start of the shooting phase fact needs to to wound oh yeah obviously right um so first thing start of the um shooting phase mag Aran is going to spend six cabal points to move oh uh his unit again oh and then I will I can do these in in the order and then I will use AR's free ritual to strip the armor save off the tank well that's un kind of you it puts it on a what did you say save okay it can do what so Aran can use a ritual for free is it once per game so once per game you can use a ritual for free so I'm using what's the ritual called it's called in your best thousand Sons voice the twist of fate which is ironically also like what is like I swear a wrestling move twist f with a Twist of f coming in off the top rope so I've done Echoes from the walk to allow them to move twice so that means now all the flamers are in range of them and then I've done a Twist of twist of fate to removed the armor safe off the tank because it basically means everything's about to shoot ap3 and I've got winning on FES AR unit with four R rolls there ler flamers enough wounds go through I could do it so let's give it a go six cabal points chat not six command points cool um so we'll start with the thing that I definitely know I'm doing so the Zango enlightened they're going to shoot their Precision bows at drax's unit specifically at draxxus I'm assuming uh I can get make you do one at a time right so hitting on fours and I have lethal hits uh two hits that was a what's the damage uh damage two so uh strength five so so how does this work so you should do you win the unit or the character Precision only Precision only applies after a successful wound drop so you have to wound against the attached unit okay five or so on there okay one wound definitely minus one I'll put it on draxis on draxus so just got a three up save so it's toughness six Onan not cover cover you get cover cover so three up Co two damage brilliant she's got two left and then uh the next unit of enlightened will do the exact same thing this is what you call gotcha Hammer uh three hits and then fives so one more on drors please uh you won't get covered from this no I won't she's I just saved it I was hoping to try and cheeky get overwhelming for I don't think Chris would have been best pleased you manag that I mean it was a squeaky bum time for a moment there then I will shoot Magnus cuz we might as well just do him now he's also an 18 in of this big unit and I'm going to spend however many command points it is so I can roll all my wounds hits and wounds ver of the unit so 3d3 and how many command points is that you're spending like one or two probably that's not answering the question but uh I'll look that up while you do this if you want uh it is one cool so it would have been two if I looked it up uh so this is going to be TW to hit is it a battle tactic uh yes it is you can vect it if you want or what the hit and wounds for psychic weapons sounds like and I can do that on the table yes yeah then I will V it okay cool right uh twos I'm just going to fish for sixes okay so cool so so essenti net gain to uh this is strength Lots so strength nine so this will be two's to cuz a plus one to win for Magnus I've lost track of who you're actually it's mag into this unit into this unit guys okay um yeah yeah yeah this is going to hurt so two's re rolling I'm not going to roll them all because I've got these are Dev because he just has Dev naturally so you have a minus one damage available if you'd like Chris it's two CPS and I don't think I think this going to hurt but it's not going to kill the unit okay um they are flat these are flat free yeah and I've got two devs in after so the first one so I got seven saves to take so the first got Shield will be on the shield guy so do you want to take two for him because obvious it will save the other one just gonna right so the sh guy's dead cool right that's not gone well um then I'll take three I got four more so I will roll three Okay so one's dead cool so two are dead so far three are dead three are dead saved so i' got one left so and then I've Tak six six devs devs uh so six four UPS why have you got one left there's like five in the unit five in the unit and you've killed four only three oh okay so you got two left I've got two left thank you and then four UPS four UPS so see I didn't kill one there we are nothing St any so uh three die ones on a we including the shield guy yeah um The Shield guy is just behind this wall so I'll fish him out when I move the cool and then the uh zinch is Firestorm so D6 plus three is blast at the time of shooting I will get it oh God uh four so four plus three plus blast so twos again fishing for sixes yes this same unit yeah oh God now these are only winning on fours though cuz I've going cuz I'm strength five okay and then these are not Dev or anything these are two damage each minus one oh hello you go um all right that is one custodian dead from that right AP AP one so three UPS yeah so one dead so far so I've got one more and these are two Dam these are two so I can do two at a time so he's on left and he's he's alive and he's he's alive nice so one left on a wind cool cool cool so that's magnet that's Maggie right then we'll do this guy first cuz he's obviously got he's got an obvious Target there I think uh so um just before you carry on mate we have had a super chat from Daniel uh he said I'm going to um to more thank likely bring custodes to Dallas in May for the US Open I don't own a cadus assassin and they $80 on eBay do I need one uh they're very useful they are um I would say draxus is better if so if you're going to get one get draxus um but you'll never not enjoy owning all the assassins really yeah if you want a cheaper than $80 potential one I think there's a Cay Venum assassin or something one of the hor on that doesn't have a 40K title looks cool and could stand in as any assassin right have a look at that or just convert one up um yeah cool um well they have they have polymorphine so the whole stick is that they can look like anything so as long as it looks reasonably like an assassin it's just a cool one is it or just put anything on the base like a sheep or a sheep yeah or Magnus or chicken right so uh EXs also shooting into the BL charge unit so one shot um strength six so one wound minus one oh sorry minus two minus two uh would you like this on the shield how much damage it's D3 uh then yes we'll put it on the shield uh so one damage okay cool uh oh and I have an inferno pistol that's very good of him oh I see he hits oh and it's sustained so one at minus one this is one damage no right Rhino not you we've done this your time to shine baby as you're about to shoot some cadians um so uh I've just I I didn't say which one he had to have the the the normal comi bowler so this is freeze two hits fives one wound minus one oh three up you CP that yeah okay so and then they have a launcher oh I there's no AP on this so so freeze that was sustained fives nothing right I'm going to have to tank shock you don't want to do it but all right now all of this okay CU don't want to shoot AP zero flamers MD no they're ap4 flam no uh well it's more like I could use the psychic stalk to try and just snipe out that last Cade and then when I charge into draxus but equally she doesn't actually get she doesn't actually get the feel no pain does she no so you'd have to roll one at a time what's the question so if I tank shock the unit you'd have to roll one at a time on the guard on the once he dies yeah yes okay cool we will do that so all of this will shoot all of this I like it let's do Aran first cuz he's my favorite so twos oh not my favor anymore I will CP it does he take a bunch of more WS for that no he's not that cool down to one CP for strength six with plus one to wound so fours uh yeah and he can re the wound so one at minus one well you don't have a save so D6 D6 yeah save six oh my God what what did you he was like what did Aran just do went six wounds to what's it called it's called psychic stalk psychic stalk yeah like no as in no as in like the stalk of a FL that's the bird right so now shooting now the pistol is slightly different strength but this is all going to wound on the same okay yeah so 10 D6 into the tank I can count oh that's the lot sixes going to get there going to have some cooked stalk 30 40 40 shots 40 shots so if we do two L of 20 cuz I have small hands uh 20 I think wrong with having small hands no 20 dice here if you want you could um me to help you with you yeah go on ready one two three fives Jes you and then Oh I thought you going to Chuck him in at the same time no no see I'm I'm playing into my character Arc or whatever happens in seasons of playing Warhammer cuz this is new ITC season I hav't to have a new persona I'm sorry Anakin Skywalkers just chatted on the stream and how is he what's going on here I get wounds cuz you're on objective yeah I know and then the other lot okay maybe I didn't need the other unit because apparently my dice are on something today wow okay this is U and that thing is the Vanguard taxis Academy which will be coming coming back soon right um so thanks George I'm glad you L there you go I'm glad someone's enjoying this just something about be gentle be gentle next time right it's it's very de something about Parx it's dead so dead it's so dead that just did the CLE run it did the Castle Run in two pass yeah so that would have killed it from full on its own so I should have psychic stalked the unit explode um well where does okay this is a this is actually a genuine question as well cuz I've never played with a tank with firing deck where would it say it has firing deck it would be in the abilities section I believe it's anata it definitely has firing deck and how many you know all rhos both of these infernal Masters can shoot here oh starting to think I made some tax ceris here well you know when someone hits you with the you can't have a save against my 10 D6 flamer shots and my psychic bird it is a problem yeah that's not what right stalk is so the one that's Jesus so the one that's two damage I'll do first okay so this is 2D I won't overcharge it so 2d3 definitely overcharge it because Rhino takes the damage oh yeah oh I'll just probably again okay strength six so fours there's no de Wings here or anything I can turn one to a six oh no he can't cuz it's an ability and he's in the two at minus two and these are two damage each two six cool um and then I'll roll the Hazardous off but for the one that isn't better so this one is wounding you the same so three more uh minus two damage uh two no sorry one one cuz this is the not good one so it finishes off the cool and then does the doo get HT no and then the Havoc launcher with blast one at no AP cool and then the Bolter much the Bolter to it no AP go off some people you know yeah doesn't the Bol is like a fancy Bolter on it's not I I didn't say which one it was so I'm not going to play no it's right you just get two of the same free war is always but i' rather like the only thing I've declared before the game is that cuz I actually didn't know it could take doesn't have AP though the normal ber I'm pretty sure cuz it's like a warp one it's I'll have a look in a sec um even if they AP1 I saved them both also has a Havoc launcher right yeah um charging rhino into the custodian guard we it's in have you got enough CP to fight first Chris um who needs fighting first when you have tank shark so uh right time to figure out how this also works um what so your tough is six I only get six so I need three fives one five so you get one F no pain so it can't kill draxxus but this could kill the unit oh no morals mean nothing no okay now you get to hit me well unless you want to fight first the last charge oh yeah okay um I'm not going to fight first okay are you ready for this so other things I'm going to do oh I need to pick my Marshal guitar though so I'll go with minus one to be hit I think yeah okay um so I will just because I've got the cabal points I'll spend two Lord draxus has charged us I shall display our marar just going our Fender and arques fives one hit this is how we fight rhinos uh one wounds no AP no no I just want to run one I just want to talk to it I just want to talk right there you go you get to hit me back well that happened um okay so we got this nice spear um I think I'm going spend one of my CPS mhm um I think stratum is called Slayer of nightmares but it's the one that gives you plus one to the wound against something tough I'm making you wound I'm making your rhos this is my favorite you do have actually two options Chris because I think one of them also gives you plus two attacks uh if you're under uh half strength I don't know if it applies to all models in the squad though because you could end up giving draxxus more power fist attacks oh it's worth having a look at what the Strat says because it could say and because of the Fantastic update we've had on the Warhammer app the command C and now don't need to to scroll around looking for it so that is probably called unwavering Sentinels uh maybe maybe maybe I don't know no that's fight first um before we carry on we have had a super chat from death guard Dave he said much love to the team and good to see Chris on stream mate you absolute Legend thank you for the Super Chat mate hi Dave cheers Dave hope you're well Dave Dave is my favorite death card player day how Aiden Dave are you coming to beach head no so it's Target one Adept as custodes unit so this is an Adept as custodes unit and then it's models within that unit so you will get it so it apply to both yeah so you get plus two ads on ja yeah so we'll do that so that's one CP it's called fall yeah so it's plus one attack but plus two if um we're below half strength which we very much are thank you Jake um so that should put me down to two CPS um well start with one right I think you did an Ingress and and you've also got plus one wound as well I've not no this is in L of plus one to wound oh you're not going to use Plus One Wing no because I don't have CP so I got one left okay it's Plus One Wing two CP then it's one but I don't you just stay there yeah and also you get me by Wings because I'm on the objective yeah yeah we should be right um all right the spear God h on twos the spear God spear God uh this is strength I think seven uh toughness is 10 or something like that yeah it's going to be fives maybe less maybe more but I got the rolls Melly weapons strength seven yeah yeah toughness nine actually two wounds ab2 uh one pass one fa two damage so down to S oh custodes what you doing come on draxxus all right Melly weapon she gets three attacks base gets five hit on threes okay go uh strength six so five but with re rolls on the unit oh three wounds ap2 damage too so can't kill me but yeah Tri down a three cool right so that's that that's all that fighting done so Ender murn I'm going to get overwhelming Force for killing the tank sadly won't get five though yeah and I will get engaged for three because I'm in three quarters yes now how many OC is of rhino is the question two so you fail that batt shock yeah um CP wise I'll go up to one yeah I'll go up to two would you like to ping pong your cus Ry really only oc2 three the K is still in deep stri come down sad sad so my command phase I do need to roll a battle shock here I'm not just going to yeah pass it so you're fine so I'm fine cool so you get 10 so I get 10 good job um all right we going to top down I will work out how I'm going to want to pick myself from this special situation I put myself in well Chris has summed out very nicely there special special situation he is in a very special situation yes yes well it was a good good display of the um the doing a free ritual with araman and absolutely deleting something off the face of the planet in thousand style in Thousand style you know there's not a lot you can do about having your armor save taken away from you no and being hit with td6 flames with a three roll to wound it's it's such a powerful combination but um but at least he's he's he's done it now you know aran's blown his free ritual on killing the kadus it was a significant blow because obviously that's one of the units that can deal with Magnus yeah so it was a good play getting rid of targeting units that can deal with your most powerful units m is one of the really important tactics inherent in 40K and where can you learn that Mike well you know obviously we go through that kind of thing on the academy the academy is open um for um wait list and getting in there early we've had some balloons turn up what happened there happy birthday oh okay okay happy birthday um yes so check out the link below um get involved in the new academy uh Steve's doing um lots of like calls so if you want to know more about the academy you can book in and chat to Steve about what's actually behind the scenes um and everything you actually really get from the academy we've got loads of testimonials coming out as well um about from previous students and what they thought about the academy experience um and yeah definitely worth checking out um because it's you know it's an investment in yourself in your hobby um and you are joining an awesome Community well that's the main thing as well isn't it it's the community you become part of such an amazing community of people um so yeah definitely definitely all the links will be in the description below um if you have any questions just ask away more than happy to to answer um that's what we're here for um as well as to commentate on this amazing game of 40K yeah yeah absolutely so anakins Guy Walker asked who do you all want to win Chris who would you like to win I would like me to win please Chris would like himself to win okay well that that that's standard who would you like to win Jord me okay um so I'd like the Thousand Suns towin because the arm is really really like poppy stands out it's nice yeah it's like it pops you know it's got them great colors very poppy it's very you know Poppy I like it I like it um yeah like the really standout colors I wish we had more like armies in these like really bold and brush color schemes on the channel well we have got um the famous lpp behind the scenes ready to start painting some models I would love to have a vibrant demons Army I would love a black and yellow demons Army I was just about to say black and yellow yes that would be really cool with a bit of purple in there as well pink hairs pink yes okay and Chris wants some bretonian to mix with those demons in black yellow and purple black yellow purple that's true every single model is a different color scheme yep that's how you do brettonian yeah exactly Cur Cowboy just said anyone but blood Angels win in fair enough yeah don't blame me don't blame you at all I have the power to remove you from chat Cur Cowboy just say don't you dare he's a student I'll fight your corner Ian I got you back I'm not impressed with that comment mate not impressed with that comment but appreciate you being part of part of the the community yeah who who do you want to win Seb see that's two for now Seb wants Jord to win okay oh my God um right lpp so there we go that's three jords so Jordan what do you think uh Chris needs to focus on here to turn this situation around he needs to get a grip on one of these get a grip he needs to get a grip man needs to get a grip listen he's he's a custodian of the emperor of mankind he needs to get a grip on his battle and he needs to take the fight to Magnus the traitor right I'm not standing for this heresy all right uh this isn't this isn't what we do around here uh no don't am I poor police sub yeah well it can stay there cuz I'll just make sure it stays at 69 but anyway back to the battlefield yes yeah I so what what does he actually what what what do you think is a decision that he's going to have to make here I think the biggest trap he could do is maybe go for Magnus yeah I think that would be my thinking of it is he hasn't got any hold on the primary really here that middle objective he's he's kind of in a losing battle because there's a bunch of rubric Marines ready to jump out and kill Whatever Gets Out on that objective um unless he makes that charge and gets rid of him first yeah um but the objective down in the bottom right that seems to where he's going for his my his more uh fortify objective mhm so yeah it's kind of maybe consolidating his forces into an area because he's lost so much now uh yeah yeah I think um we need to get those custodes stuck into rubrics wherever we can yeah because custodis are so good at killing rubrics with their damage too and rubrics are not that survivable Chris is ready at the table so um we'll let him explain his choices and uh crack on and kill some thousand Sons yeah great Chris well I've been trying to explain my choices to my parents and myself for quite some time and I've never had a satisfactory answer well can you explain to us please I can normally it's just a not again so I've moved um the unit the rapid ingressed up um so that they can shoot or charge in either direction um I don't expect that they will be able to kill the the character on the ejector just with some Guardian Spears but if they do then I've got the option to come the other way into the Rhino um second unit here moved up just behind the wall um Jake then reactively moved his um chaps what are they called Zangle G gate people on frisbees away so just to make that would now be an eight would need on the and the other thing it does it also means that you can't M like you can't multi charge as easily if you wanted to go into ex yeah um the the tank which wasn't just very rudely um dealt with has has come get some uh get some shots the wardens have moved up to just behind the wall um they just come behind the wall so they can't be overwatched um and I Al sorry I spent a CP to bring a model back into the unit that was down to one guy on one so I'm should be down on single CP very nice uh have you done ja's ability just for the sake of I haven't but I'm also not going to only only got two wounds left if i r one I do D3 wounds to myself okay every thinks within 18 as well now so it may not make a difference yeah I would rather didn't get shot by you know Magnus but there's not much I can do about that so um yeah let's do some shooting so we'll start with the four um the four Spears from this unit here will shoot um your sorcerer on a disc man who's wanting a low five yeah okay you can have it eight shots it's a real hit and then four tough is four so it's Force to win but full Wheels cuz you're an objective that's okay I haven't got clue on the AP I think it's AP1 AP I think it's one four up uh so I'm on two Wings left two wins left so I will use their once per game ability to after a shot shoot Sho again and just CU if I can get rid of him now it opens up options here uh so one missed that time pause again and there we are he's definitely we got that one points let's see what we can do do first casualty first is that the first thing I've killed really oh dear that's not that's not that's not good is it mine games um the tank kind of wants to kind of wants to make a nuisance um yes it's going to try and shoot this unit of zangles over here yeah so interesting idea you might be able to kill the Rhino so I know that the I thought was I could shoot it in combat um but what I've what I've kind of secondarily thought is I'll probably kill in combat but actually if I don't I'm kind of okay with that because he needs to fall back to to shoot with Magnus um and he's might battle shock you know basically I'm not afraid of the rhino in combat well if you kill the Rhino then the unit gets to shoot right and then Jax is going yeah go on then go on you've convinced me you've convinced me um I believe I'm I'm going to shoot messed up so badly last time I'm not going to spend any okay you sure I'm already minus one to anyway so one missed one AO would no because you're a vehicle the cover two so three saves uh minus three so six UPS y dead don't you dare do I exp don't you dare explosion okay okay thank you Mike that worked another one um next up well this unit will then shoot I guess now I think we have to shoot into Iran's unit mhm uh so we'll start with a spear because that's easy so two hits are you on objective you're not I'm not ones though cuz I'm not just re on the ones no wounds next up dra us with about million guns yeah hell yeah okay okay so we'll do Dia singer first which I believe is the name of her shuri better shuriken catapult than the Elder I have oh yeah four attacks on threes uh strength four but it's anti- infantry four up say just just fours de wounds be rolling ones can roll one at least yay add damage two say one's dead uh and then we will do the same thing the other unit did and shoot again so you do have your psychic you can shoot as well oh sorry she's got her other yeah soor we're not finished we're not finished we're not finished so six attacks h on threes sustain two sustain two so that should be oh a net one net one oh I like that and then strength uh strength is six so oh wound zero AP so three pluses damage two oh that's quite good uh one dies okay another one here now we'll do it all again do it all over again one hit didn't wind the D singer come on Traxxas what you playing at one more dead one more dead and then her psychic attack which is called psychic Tempest uh two misses but come back in wounding on threes rolling ones rolling ones five saves three UPS two two more I wondered why I saw her in loads of cust list and now I get it yeah pretty decent I think she's great in a lot of lists actually I've only ever seen her in roll wounds and two like shoot twice really good um the cus over there is doing my teleporter Homer um because that seems like a good idea the C that has been used by everyone in this studio yes twice yeah I noticed we have two of them now another one's popped up from somewhere um I can't share anything with the wardens because I can't see uh they could probably get some shots backwards but I'm fairly sure I'm pushing the range yeah I'm well out range um so it's time to do some charges nice so we'll start with this one here who will charge your Zango enlightened you enlightened them and you got it I did yeah oh no help so from the back here we go that's the realest one oh oh and then the the closer so character in I think and then basing one who's basing to line every up there we go for chat Magnus has not done anything wrong yet Magnus has done a lot right so far um and then and then Tran valoris will charge aran's unit sick looks good looks good to me easily yeah so seven is on him um you can pick the building up if you'd like I yeah I sorry if I over embellish the board but a few too many rocks on there oh I've already I've already moved one of the little aquarium plants out you took my plan I was G all they're actually mine but um you know well let's not argue about the plants okay technically they're pets well they were they were until did I bought them um oh I'm finally over here um now it's quite tempting to just try and charge onto Magnus here but I think probably a poor decision so they're going to charge this rhino uh which is a nine so that should get them all Bas in yeah so he'll go through there yep just stand in the building there he'll walk through the door to do that you'll walk through the door and very civil and then n one can go to there see I'm just trying to kind of stretch it so I get the best possible coverage to make your options as challenging as possible happy with that yeah um right let's start over here with the wardens no on magnus's not Magnus this is harman's unit he will pile into there I will spend two cabal points so I can roll a save in that unit okay yeah because I've got cabal points so might as well points to burn yeah hopefully it could mean Harman gets to Harman Harman you're a wizard Harry Harry the man the man right so let me just get my good old Harryman wooden's data shootter we got five dudes and Jake we have had a super chat from Clayton Sanford and he said um you'll be happy to know that I will be playing my buddy Jonathan on Friday you played his wife's demons at lvo I played apparent oh yeah yeah in my third game oh amazing no it was a super cool army we played on a um the one of the streams actually that was fun yeah it was great uh I had ler I know Jonathan um over I think he underestimated how much Casino cannons do and casino cannons are the Magna rail Cannon no the bean High Las beam cannon on the Sagar bing bing bing roll big roll big get big I I can see I can see the win rate for leagues of votan I understand on a level that's really good I think it's a terrible terrible Army because every time I personally put it on the table I have never once order a six to hit hit with that thing like tournament games of it I've lost like five games out of something like 20 something insan and that's why you flush your dice down the toilet yeah that's why I always make sure never roll the two at the same time you have two weighted ones that are behind the ru in yeah yeah yeah so I think my Marshall karate this time yeah is going to have to be lethal hits you're Karate Kid yeah yeah so these are the attacks from the spears from the warden unit onto aran's unit that's quite a lot of ones but a lot of sixes so three three auto wins and these are strength seven so threes and you're rolling oh no these are wardens yeah what's their special thing they get a four they're minus one to be winded if your strength is higher than their toughness and they have a once per game M uh for up F no pain how very plus I say sorry if we yeah if you put them in sorry put them in that say it's just cuz I'm SL of course sa what the AP I think it's two uh AP two damage to yes Jake did end up getting a tattoo at Elio he's got a casino Cannon yeah um five up so so that kills three yeah so two at a time now oh sorry did you just break my you just break my banner and roll four sixes in a row okay so now the two are dead I Harryman four up four up uh I won't be well the save yet okay so he's taken two damage so far yeah so he's on five I'm very sorry about how many wins you got left uh three three left so enough for Tran's Punk him okay tran VOR six Tran Vince would be proud uh two4 six never heard a man say the name Tran with such emphasis on Anan an uh so one missed one Auto wound strength 10 so two presumably four saves in total say four up ap2 damage three four up four up could you tuck the dice TR just bring it down a little down so yes that's that's a bit better a little bit more so that was dead so yeah okay he's dead now so Tran came in and finished him off poor Harryman you know Harman was in the siege of Terror right yeah I heard I heard from not just your books but also no moment shackle from TR and yet I haven't used it and I've Consolidated onto the objective would you like to interrupt I don't have enough CP to interrupt very sadly okay what's going on here is this worth rolling uh I have I have no idea absolutely not in my humble opinion but uh I'm happy to this is the blade Champion versus three and yeah I think yeah the Blade Two wounds each with a five up in yeah six up inv that's why I was just okay right yes so so we got better things to do than waste of time doing that those poor Goatman there poor enlightened they were not Enlighten about anything the Rhino over here how many five attacks for custodian guard mik that's right uh sorry what they are five attacks they are five attack I think they they are yes five attacks each yeah yeah they're custodian guard well it's cuz they lost The Miser accordius from previously they so they just baited it so they just gave them an extra one with a spear fair enough I just assumed wardens had like more attacks or something but they just get better like the minus one wi I suppose one's he already the Pinnacle of human engineering what where where else do you true uh well what you do is you roll a few ones let we get rid of those then you take those sixes and you hold on to those um and then these are Wi on fives but rolling on okay so seven saves from the spears there's a five just in there you picked up oh five up uh dead to the wound there we are and I still had the blade Chan does it explode no right now I got to figure out how I'm going to get these all out yeah well you figure I may have to dead sprit Escape or whatever it is emergency dis get out of the tank 6 in yes that's what it's called so I'm going to have to do it actually I can get them I can get one unit out there they within it though no not is it per unit or every model so what I mean is so one unit oh no sorry they can't CH there sorry I didn't see him there through the door do you remember so basically because Jake can't place his 10 rubrics and the characters he's going to have to roll 12 Dice and ones twos and threes will be mortal wounds applied to the unit so can you help me with the ordering of this so it's died yes it's blown up they're getting out when does the conso happen after after he set up his model so you could consolidate into the unit okay and if I was Jake I'd probably separate the two units just so that no room to do that got no way to put itly within six yeah yeah because they surrounded it and they've got the building here right and then there's another one of my units over here fair enough then uh cool cuz you place and then you roll cuz obviously if any ones you can't place you roll for uh but I can split these across the units can't I uh well you'd have to roll for each unit separately why I thought you just roll the amount of models then you allocate um so in this case it doesn't really it's fine so you allocate this as you like what I'll do Soul reaper soul Reaper then I'll go random bloke in one unit and a wound on another so basically it works out like that dies and that dies that will die and then another man in a unit will have a wound okay there we go cool there we go and then obviously the Run instead yeah and then I'll do my pilin Friendly Fire which go here so if he goes straight that way he on his own gets both units yep right so for disembarking just for clarity here um you roll for each model that disembarks and on a one that model's unit suffers a mortal wound okay so you would have to roll so we're still incoherency we're in combat with both units okay cool nice I think that's best I will get to fight that is the one thing I will get to do so um right let's I'll just roll them at the same time yeah do your characters and then could you could you pull the dice tray down again please down this way down there that's that was good a bit more like you did before yeah good and then turn it slightly anticlockwise a bit more yes good that's good that so if you don't mind I'm going to roll both the characters at the same time and I'll I'll get to Swit two sixes this could matter cuz this actually is quite tasty yeah so threes two of which will now go to sixes so that will be then three extra hits because of sustained um fours we rolling ones T6 yeah h t yeah yeah cuz I'm strength six so that is six at minus one and they D3 damage each six at minus one um well we'll take them on spear guard yeah cool so first one so that kills one second one kills one third one puts one on one wound and then sorry what just happened the infernal master all my saves yeah the infernal Masters just used potentially what we will describe as the power of friendship and absolutely smack right then the force weapons from the other two four uh fours uh one at minus one this is also D3 damage cool then the fists so I've got one in one unit two in another so one in one there's three in one and three in one three guys here yeah and a sorcer and then and then two guys left and a sorcer so you've done the sorcer 10 attacks so we've sustained you never know and then five rolling ones no K well that happened yeah they they do hit surprisingly hard the Wizards the character Wizards I mean um yeah I didn't expect that right you will get so end of that turn you're going to get eight points on assassinate cuz you killed uh the whatever his name is the ex sorcer and ar ar okay yeah a quick thing um so did you have Arcane Vortex on one of those I do yeah it does affect his force weapon as well oh it's all right it doesn't matter just an interesting point of fact yeah he it basically would have meant that one of them would have just like done an extra damage but so I should have R him seply I'll remember it for next time cool he's one to miss yeah well technically none of them right uh cool so end of that Chris and you'll get four of your homers as well four I'm not going to get any primary very sad um but such is life and then upper CP figuring out kaball points now so yeah four no B shocks five uh and then there's two characters on the table plus another so I have 11 11 right so cards wise secure no man's land assassinate okay Co you can definitely do that yeah we'll give it a go if you want to go to the top down and mute us we'll see what happens and now for a word from our sponsor C Studios they are the experts in providing professional miniature painting Services ensuring your armies always look their best on the battlefield whether you're a season veterans or just starting out see St Studios can help bring your Miniatures to life don't miss out on their quality craftsmanship we are we are muted that entire time we was muted great excellent good work Jordan y so good punch back from the codes yeah definitely definely we got some good charges we did some great damage the rapid Ingress was a great play MH um and you know you've always got to watch out for those rapid ingresses picking up a character and the Rhino with that unit is is great work now you might be thinking that was such a big blow to the Thousand Suns how are they going to recover well Magnus is right there we've got enough caval points to turn off someone's armor save right um and we have plenty of rubrics on the table Yeah so um we just Jake just needs to hit back just as hard in this turn and with units in reserve and Magnus we can do just that um I wouldn't be surprised at all to see some well I guess we can't really see a doom B if we're going to turn off a save that's the issue with running low on cabal points but maybe in a future turn um because we could Doom Bolt the S the um oh my God cadus cadus assassin yeah uh but actually we probably want to turn a save off on some of these custodians cuz turning off a two plus save is pretty good yeah definitely um and none of their shooting in terms of like the flamers and stuff they got AP so definitely doing that and putting them onto the four plus save rather than the two plus is massive yes yeah uh and I would be looking here to Target um probably well Trent units got the four plus F paying once per game yeah so that's what I mean is they'll get the four plus for this turn um because there's no way that Chris yes yes it be four plus four plus um so it's a really it's it's difficult to say with only a couple of assets really being able to go into that um cuz five rubrics and some Zango enlightened is it really going to do the damage there well we do have the reserve units remember I think we've got two rubric units in reserve okay so they could come on and also shoot those targets we really want to be targeting someone on an objective marker though yeah because then we get roll wounds and that makes the most of our turning off saves yes uh cabal cabalistic ritual we just need to this turn make sure we kill a unit of custodians yeah yeah for sure for sure Tran's unit would be ideal because then that frees up the entire top left for the Thousand players um whereas bottom right you might kill one unit but then you're going to get hit back by a fair few units well what's in the bottom left the bottom right sorry bottom right we've got one big brick of custodian guard with a champion yeah and then just above them in that green building where we can see the white cloaks of the um infernal Masters is another brick of um five custodians with a blade Champion yeah so we got two options there there's two custodian units on objectives yeah top left and bottom right um so Jake's now just thinking about where he really wants to dish out the damage well don't forget this Mission you only need to hold one and two right so you only need to hold one objective and another objective and you're going to get your 10 points and then at the end of the game you're going to get Five Points um for each objective you hold up to a maximum of 15 yeah so really this this at this point in the game it's about trying to reduce your opponent's amount of assets as well as trying to maintain that steady flow of um 10 viory points right yeah absolutely this is a game of tempo yeah so the more you destroy now the more points you're going to score later and your opponent won't yeah exactly back to Jake at the table we have a relev question okay so if we both have things that are done at the start of the phase who has to declare first the active player gets to choose right yeah I believe okay so for example if I say to Chris would you like to do your fil no pain ability and he says no I then can I then can turn off his armor save and it he then can't activate F no pain uh I can have a quick look in the rules commentary I don't know if they clarified that okay it's just cuz like it's basically the debate of like whichever one if you don't use the F no pain on the wardens I'll turn off their armor save and shoot them if he do use the fun pain of the warden I'll turn off the Tank's armor save and shoot that yeah yeah so I don't think you'd get two chances to no so I believe that I have to declare at the start of the phase and so was Jake yeah but Jake's the active player so you order the stack for one of a better word so yeah we put it into a magic you proactively ask me are you going to do that I say yes or no yeah you can then make a decision to do yours we're in the start of yeah I agree the question would be not like do you specifically want to do that would be is there any abilities you want to use yes is that right yeah I mean that sounds right to me that sounds like the most but it's one of those ones that be super clear what you're doing at the table otherwise otherwise it's um don't rush it doesn't feel good otherwise that's what I'm saying proactively ask if you if you plan on doing because otherwise it becomes that weird moment of like well no I want to do it you want to do it I said it too quickly you didn't get a chance blah blah blah right so I'll go through my movement stat reserved Little Wizard man on dis yes he's back um and just to tow this objective for primary and he is just within 12 of the cus to be able to shoot these rubrics are here just to help out um how can I just fall back here I mean have you have you finished your movement phas J have I declared anything I'm rounding up I'm rounding up of course you can you would have you can't fall back and shoe or anything no no the other thing you would have done is also p in onto that objective to make sure well no I didn't and that made you would you would have done it you would have done it cuz you can still angle it in such a way it makes it difficult so so I'm not going to Pile in onto the objective it's just so then you can't fight me first and I can't get chance to OverWatch sure that's the other thing cool um so yeah five rubrics came in here five rubrics have come on the back field to be able to potentially do that uh do some damage here I've moved some five rubrics up here to also swing this objective so the idea is just get Chris down to five primary Zango have moved up to try and shoot out draxxus for an assassination so then hopefully Magnus can just finish the Cades off in combat would you mind tucking those five rubrics just further onto the battlefield so we can see yeah cuz you can't currently see them okay we just know we know they're not fine right uh so shooting so let's work left to right so we will do this you this man he's can only see one thing so we have we just missed oh yeah sorry missed anything the whole thing we play about I would like to use my my f my pain on my wardens please well because of that I will turn off your armor save on the tank and I'll will shoot the tank okay so interesting so here D6 plus an amount so remember I have stealth on this one it's tent oh well you just don't care anything about my rules do you freeze oh so at the end of my Mo phase I could pick a unit within range with within 18 ands visible on a two up your half you move oh I don't take any oh no I take D3 Mortals two so I'm down four cool all right you take three I am still ins sustained cuz I you know I'm a big boy and can make my own decisions Min is two so you just get your involved four UPS I think one damage D3 so two okay I think I've got two left we'll put two there that a calus that is a calus four so yeah down to two Inferno p pistol it's not no it's not a cool weapon no right this unit here so it's got a soul Reaper Cannon flamers flamers first yeah I'll put I'll put the flame pistol and the two flamers into here and I'll put the soul Reaper and the other flame into here why not okay so I'll do water flame pistol uh toughness with her four four fives so four invulnerable saves on her please she's dead just did it on his own what a little Legend oh I didn't declare his SM I'll just say it went into her as well cool and then the two flame uh sorry the soul Reaper Cannon and the flamers we'll do the one flamer into the unit first threee we go ones uh one at minus one uh because I roll a six is minus two saved then flam minus one yeah they War flamers they W flamers and Prett good it seems uh and then the Soul Reaper Cannon is six shots hitting on freeze no sustained her wounding on fours uh just two devastating wounds so two four pluses cool uh Predator slate that just killed it yeah uh bows into so pause uh one lethal and I'll put it into draas uh do I have probably not yeah uh I don't think I do okay didn't matter cuz I one dead dead hey assassinate did you have assassinate yeah that's that's why it was important you did you already got it but yeah oh yeah but you know double double kill all right double good double good um everything from this rubric Squad will shoot the sisters on the objective yeah so we'll do the flamers first so I'll do the war flame pistol five shots what what toughness are they three say fours rrolling cuz you're on an objective three at minus is one is also minus one and ignores cover uh one dead cool and then three normal flamers five these are threes re rolling uh two ap2 three AP1 so ap2 two dead one at AP1 was it three at AP1 three I tried nearly they all dead then this rub Brick Squad will put every into the unit as well custodians so Warf flame pistol six sixes re rolling nothing and then the three flamers uh two two fives rerolling uh so four ap2 one AP1 four ap2 oh no cover presumably uh yeah no cover so four UPS um and then four up F pain so I'll just do them at this point so one guy's taking a wound and then one three up Save which I pass and then my warp Smite uh nothing and then my S reer Cannon uh uh fours rerolling um two devastating wounds and three it minus one so three three Ops first of all so they saved and then two four up fil pains so one guy takes another win so close but yet so far Magnus will dumpster everything into the cladius yeah do I want to roll hits and wounds yes 2 CP yeah I'll do it two c yeah so down so 3d3 cool so twos fishing for sixes that was a six they want to fish what I've got cool and then um toughness of it is 11 say fours do I plus one the wound rrolling everything these also have Dev so four devs five saves at minus two H well no so you don't have an armor save so it's just five UPS how much damage is that H three damage each it's just 15 and then there's 12 more Dev wounds as well dead cool apparently it happens and then would you believe it he's a demon Primark he is a demon Primark and he is in the end of the left three um no he's not oh he isn't oh spoiler uh is he he might be he might be um Maggie poo will charge um the custom sodian beep boop your so there's two there's another one just the wall that's okay he he cares not um maybe he would uh I'll spend my last two no I'll save my last two Kabal points so don't have re hits here but twos with sustained so one goes back in do cabal points refresh every every um so one devastating wound and five on your in minus three so the one on so ironically the one on one wound dies yeah and then three devastating wounds so he's on he's taking a wound so he's got three left cuz he's a shield guy there and then he's going to bravely go talk to Magnus yeah what's your um what is the OC of Magnus got be loads yeah yeah so he's got three te so couple of interesting bits one of the is if you have multiple weapons you resolve all of your normal damage before applying any devastating wounds okay that was done in the recent rules commentary in addition someone's pointed out where you can find out the sequencing thing um so this is in the rules commentary under cause is it rules com so it's under core rules core concept sequencing yeah um while playing 40K you'll find two rule two or more rules are to be resolved at the same time if this occurs during the battle the player whose turn is chooses the order if this occurs before or after the battle or at the start or end of a battle round players roll off and the winner decides the order so you did do that correctly Jake Jak it was start the end of the battle round because it's in the Turn end B the nice I like no I appreciate it's good it's good when you like think you know something um but but you kind of made it from a level of assumptions and then someone backs up with actually chaptering verse is where it comes from so thank you for that no thank you it's one of those things where like there's so many weird things that can happen in 40K would you like to hit your one custodian man into Magnus yeah go on with his big wings uh toughness 11 and you can roll your wings cuz you're on an objective I am an objective oh very good uh ap2 so four up uh uh one uh two damage each yeah so he's down to one damage each so yeah uh to be fair that would have been really cool if we' just done eight damage one thing is though tra un modif is just about to rle into him um luckily though end of my turn I'll get secure no man's land and assassination yes you will so I'll get 10 points total five on each um start of your turn I'll get one CP I'll go to three and you'll get five primary so hold this one no other I don't hold that one cuz you've you've taken it off me and my poor sisters are are no longer for this world they're not doing it for themselves no I do need a battle shock on the uh one remain custodian he's fine he loves it he loves it living his best life there um so that's one CP for Jake three for the custodians Rea custodes very nice okay yeah if you go top down I will work out what on Earth I'm going to do now well Mike um devastating absolutely devastating well you say that it's a big slap back but um there's still three units of custodians on the board three whole units of custodians on the board um I actually was quite surprised when Jake chose to Target the tank okay because the tank can only do four shots worth of damage into these thousand suns and it can't really wrestle objectives off them yeah whereas now there's three units of six custodians that can kill whatever they touch um so Jake could be in trouble here um from losing a whole bunch of these little assets yeah running around the table yeah for sure so yeah we'll see how this turn goes but I think all Chris needs to do is focus on killing the things that he's very likely to kill right so what would they be and move on from there so at the bottom right there we just want to clear that corner of everything we could send the champ up to the top right if we really wanted to and then in the late game grab the home objective for Five Points by the end of the the game but we just want to make sure we get rid of all those units on that right hand side mhm trun has two options um with his ability to ignore modifies for the unit he can ignore the um minus one damage for Magnus y so if there was an opportunity to try and take Magnus down now is that opportunity and he's got the CP to back himself up so he could get plus one to to wound for the whole Squad I'd probably consider a 1 CP bring back of warden I think he has just done thatz place a warden in the in the um top corner there oh that may be a guard so that's a guard on the right hand side the warden with trun on the top left oh can you do it for to every unit any custodian unit but only one unit once per turn he's not lost oh he's not lost any wardens so I thought he'd lost one from from earlier but okay none of them have died so we've got a whole Squad of wardens and Tran that can slap Magnus silly if he goes into combat with him how long does the four plus filer pain last four just that phase so it's gone now okay so it's gone now it's gone now but was a big deterrent from shooting the unit yeah I mean would you risk would you risk doing an OverWatch if you were JK though uh what with Magnus yeah uh well you do have sustained on all the psychic shots you do so actually you know it's not bad it depends on whether there's something better for one CP um yeah and I think there might be a change damage to zero stratum for Thousand Suns which could be good on Magnus uh so maybe Jake's got cards up his sleeve I'm sure he's got some some schemes of Fate going on in his mind yeah being the Thousand some player but um yeah this game's been brutal though it's bottom of turn three and it's only 4140 it's it's very close it's very close very close very close is this what you expected from the start of the game um no I wouldn't say uh for the bottom of turn three is it really turn three it's turn three yeah apartment turn three okay yeah wow um so yeah no I I was expecting a lot less custodians the board yeah but then to be fair we killed the tanks instead of the squads yeah so um that's been the result uh of that so we'll see we'll see whether Chris hits back so hard this turn that the Thousand Suns run out of units yeah yeah for sure for sure we see what Magnus can do whether he can continue to carry the Thousand Suns I do love the fact that Magnus just clicked his finger and blew up a cladius grab tank yes that is just hilarious to me he should be able to do that he should be able to he is um ironically I don't think it got a save anyway well it had a five in against Magnus yeah it had a five up pinol yeah yeah so turning off the armor didn't really do anything cuz Magnus is ap2 right no maybe I'm not sure on the numbers there um but hey yeah no idea mate no idea it looks like a custodian units Advanced onto the home objective to do a homer because we need to get those Homer points in yep we've got two more units to move yeah and we're literally just three cod's units Jak characters I mean all of his points realistically for Chris the best thing for him to do is really go for Magnus and go for that Big Blob of characters in the bottom right yeah I just murder those characters in The and just get as many points as you can now on your yeah I think you try and kill Magnus because I think this is the turn to do it with the three CP in the bank yeah um it's actually a shame he didn't lose Warden almost because then he could have got an extra attack each uh in including trun yeah and we might see a mind shackle get involved for yeah for sure for Tran's um J Reon traun can kill Magnus 100% yeah 100% damage three there's no minus one damage applying to it oh yeah sorry he ignores the modifiers so he's hitting at full strength strength 10 I believe yeah yeah Tran um Magus is toughness 11 right yeah plus one to wound guess the whole unit is wounding on four this is how uneducated I am with these factions is I didn't realize every time I say something it's just another thing we are ready all right all right Chris talk to us tell us a story there's a lot going on this turn um I've not got many units left so they've all got to they've all got to do some some quite impressive stuff um I started with resurrecting a um one of the custodian Guard from the the unit that took an unnecessary amount of damage last time um they have then Advanced over here um this unit hasn't used its advanc and charge yet so um it's still got that open to them um I have taken this objective back off um Jake now because I a mighty custodian with lots of OC um this unit has not moved yet because of some quite scary flamers here um so they're going to stay still and shoot um the custodian in combat um he's got a pistol weapon because he's got the old sword and shield guy because we broke him so that's why there's a guy left here so he's starting the teleport Hammer action um the custodian Warden unit has left them to their own devices over there they've got their eyes set on Magnus um we're going to do a little drive by shooting on um on the last angle unit here and then coming and try and pick up Magnus so the goal this turn is try and maintain as many points as I can and take away the big scary demon Primark um and then hopefully I'll have enough units left to at least stop Jake scoring unreasonably for the rest of the game very nice before we carry on we have had a super chat from danst bears he said glad to finally grab you guys live me and Jake actually have matching tattoos uh atraeus runes from God of War yeah thanks for all the content guys well no thank you for the Super Chat man honestly and congratulations you're the first person to ever get it unless I've told them [Laughter] so just imagine that's you Dam him kissing my shooting wise can you just tell me which unit's got less people in it uh it's this one is it this one so so I've got three guys in a character yeah where this one's got four with one one one wound got you so this unit will shoot into the one with the smallest number of people y if you shoot the one with the more people then OverWatch is less good sorry just a interjection just the one with the more people also has the dude with the better Flame in yeah so that that's what I'm more worried about um cuz he's probably going to do that anyway yeah sorry sorry so Mike's right by saying to shoot these that's what so I'm agreeing with Mike oh sorry this unit is a guy with the the actual infernal Master model is the one with the better flame because he's flat to I see it's not this one here no he's got he's got Lord of forbidden law which is I can do the double we'll go into the close unit then which has never come up never come out um if guess it means like like double roll plus CP rerolls get probably threee rerolls um shoot mhm this unit is also on the objective so yeah so you're shooting the front unit four roll WIS yeah You' also haven't double shot with that unit yet either no which is probably what they do here fors with rolls mhm so six saves ap12 damage ap12 damage so it's all four pluses anyway so that's threee so the one and one wound de so basically leads the wizard in the unit as in the unit leader wizard not the actual character wizard there's too many Wizards and then we'll shoot again I quite like shooting twice the first time fell so nice had to do it and then fours with r rolls oh converted uh all four again so he dies two damage on now and the man is on two wounds so he will still get to OverWatch but that was pretty good it's just his buddies are dead and in the most ID World possible for some reason the Rocks the magnets attached to the Rocks weird over here um that's amused me for the day that's kept me happy I think we'll shoot these guys yeah and then and then charge that way so this is the unit in the top right shooting the r the five rubs back here um I think you also can roll Wings if you're on an objective as well or something weird isn't it well while you look at that would you mind adjusting the dice train just pulling it downwards a little um like that oh oh my dear God so pushing diagonally top right a little bit like that and then push it to the right a bit yeah yeah you're I'm on it reject it not while you're on it okay uh then if you could turn it anticlockwise a little like that it's a little too far yeah that's good that's good just that's fine that's fine cuz yeah cuz saying put it down and then when we put it down no one says anything notus one to Dam uh cool you love it you love it um okay the wardens will shoot next um into your Zeno on I I think you're GNA Punk them but let's see I hope so you're are you AP1 AP1 yeah two uh toughness uh four four fours there you go six up a They're All Dead very sad unsurprising the thing that everyone knew was going to happen happen they've shot they've shot they've shot he's doing his thing um um charges then so this unit here will declare a charge into both of these units so OverWatch with the with the super awesome gun super flamer cuz I've got three flamers in that unit plus the actual flame maybe the math no I'll just get the normal FL oh oh no but he gets R all wounds but I haven't got de wounds do you know what I'm going to risk it no I'm not I'm just going to do one four so what's happening here I'm overwatching freeze and this is the Arcane Vortex infernal strength seven because of um he's got plus one strength and plus one damage so no Dev no Dev no Dev because I'm still in sustained okay and but these are AP ap2 and these are two damage each kills one kills one so he kills The Shield or you can kill a spear whichever one hoay kill the shield we'll kill the gone we don't need the shield anymore um you did it this is your life charge loads of range loads of Happiness um we'll go sorry I keep getting rid of all these just get no not the plants G gardening big lawn mower were there any sixes you could have flipped for the infernal master I'm going to wait off okay just in case because if I somehow survive because you can use one for a save is that right no but you can use it for damage okay so you never know if I get one through I could turn it to a six charge here onto the character so three however I reroll because of this chap you're inate bundle around there so something to Bear In Mind Brian because Jake's chosen sustained flipping a wound to a six doesn't really do anything so he's saving it for damage on for weapon H there in yeah Magnus so four puts him there there there put there so they'll be able to double rank yeah that's fine um um have you got enough CP to interrupt I don't but I do have enough cabal points to be able to roll a save on Magnus okay which I will do you will do so they're just going to go in like that hope Magnus then just goes everyone's dead um right we'll do the Magnus fight first I think yeah um I can't interrupt so you might as well yeah it's it's the exciting one isn't it it's the one we're all here for Mike in terms of offensive strats I've got is it plus one to wound against plus one to wound against Monsters and vehicles um I can't trigger the oh my God it's chaotic behind deck guys George just spilled some coke he did some Mexican wave thing then Billy tried to do it and hit hand on a wall honestly it's it's chaos I tell you um you've got a plus one to wound Chris we'll do the plus one to win then uh cuz you haven't lost any models right you're not below I've got a guy on one wound so right okay I don't think there's any other you do have your um I just got to check when I have to declare that though uh okay abilities moment shackle the start of the fight phase um yeah so I think I'll use that now and have 12 attacks with yep Tran that sounds good double your attack you want to run the risk of me good choice there's nothing else that I think it has as big an impact this this is a quite a significant moment yeah can traion cut the head off Magnus the red and now here's the question do I go sustained or lethal yeah I think we probably go you're win me on five so Le so plus one to win so fours We Have Spent A CP for the custodies so Leal still lethal lethal still good yeah we're going to we're going to go lethal cuz you should have two or one or two wounds from this rle so then it just means that yeah yeah I think lethal all right so let's go with the spears yeah so you hold on to these ones and these are all two damage each cuz I'm ignore ignore yeah I ignore your ignore stuff oh I lost the dice somewhere I think no no I didn't must have gone in that was quite a good roll uh so these are two damage each I will roll six at a time uh so down to six so I now roll two at time so down to four one at a time down to two I'll use my free roll no he's dead oh Tran never got to fight no I thought you were going to do Tran first I explode no no exploding you didn't do tra first I thought you I I wanted him to like to kill him so I'm like well we'll take off most of the damage first you can gloriously come in we'll say TR did it because he head off after and yeah he can take wear his pink pink hair is tra's ignore modifiers for him or the unit the unit is his like leader rule it's good so he can replace that line he's got on his right shoulder pad with Magnus pink hair yeah um we go it around what do you think he did to the lion just asked it nicely for his head oh oh sorry I've just killed you can I have your head Mr lion he like oh yes it' be my honor for you to be for me to be on your shoulder not going to lie but if tra ask me mate can I put your head on my shoulder go go with that be so Co the dev wounds one what the as in his big sword his big sword yeah so got five attacks base can I not tempt you with the I'm on four wounds you need the two damage one no oh no I mean for shot so it's five attacks normally plus two for the veil blade yep uh hitting on twos whe hit few sixes here' be nice just Dev wind him out of all right never mind you can roll WS cuz you're R the objective or someone's on an objective we are so got roll all of them only strength six fish fish fish uh five saves from the blade Champion coward uh AP three uh it didn't matter very sad 4,000 Suns uh over here these two spear guard will go onto the guy with two WIS left and then the other two spear guard and the blade champ into the other unit yeah so we'll do two spear guard uh oh two misses one Oro in M uh strength seven is this on my which ones oh yeah freeze oh no right oh yeah all fours oh he's dead so close poor little fell um and then oh what's the blade Champion going to do uh he'll is he going to do two damage and just like Precision one yeah that's quite cool isn't it um it's my favorite one I don't let's do that let's do the let's do the Precision two damage one onto your leader you could just do it on the unit it's called Vault swords bore so six attacks something think with a name well that didn't work uh strength seven so threes rolling wounds um yet we we'll put them on to the yeah what you can do is you can um make me do so we'll do them one at a time until you die so we'll go two at a time CU they I have four wings I'm fine all right never mind then just uh just ruin I wanted that on the other one um and then I've got two morean guard so hitting on [Applause] twos these guys taking all the glory five lethals very nice freeze re rolling the wounds no minus two minus two okay so I'll do three at a time CU they have five UPS so two survive two go on Jake two surv go on two surv oh my God one how many what be lucky than [Music] good I feel like I'm playing this game on hard mode right now I am cool well that's all I've got so you got to hit me back there he's going to kill three of them again yeah never know um how many wounds is one of them on or is he dead he's dead Okay cool so we'll do infernal Master first so is this the guy with the plus one strength and damage no freeze uh do I want to turn this to a six now no but because I get an extra hit anyway uh four fours and you're on an objective so I can Mo all my wounds one at minus one I won't flip it to a six yet sa okay and then the the normal dude gets four uh re wounds four at minus one thir one uh D3 I can't turn this to a six one and then some dude with ham hands uh three uh three roll the wounds one at no AP saved no okay cool right that is it so you get I thought I was going to kill them you know I thought you going to kill them as well I think everyone thought I was going to kill them so you've maxed assassinate excellent you've got three on homers yeah I got another three for homers from this guy and then that's it okay so my turn I'm going to get five primary I'll get five primary uh but I'll also get three four six cabal points none any B shocks that was I will need that one because of the characters in there you got two guys character you're exactly so cards cleanse sick and uh investigate signals equally sick you do I think I'm just going to focus on points cuz I'm not going to I don't feel I'm going to be able to kill enough I think that makes sense that's the correct thing to do yeah so um yeah if you go to the top down it's a quick one but you can at least have a chat you're on three CP for Chris and one for the Thousand Subs we're grateful to have Frontline gaming as our sponsor they're a truly One-Stop shop for your gaming needs from Terrain in mats to an extensive range of Miniatures in the United States plus their Community focused events are known to Foster what we call the Warhammer 40K spirit so if you want to start playing an events and you're truly passionate about the game then make sure you attend one of the next Frontline gaming events right we are back big plays um big smack back from the custodes insane roles from Jake well somewhere where it didn't really matter unfortunately but still insane well yeah you know nine out of 10 five UPS is rolling pretty crazy um yes that's a lot of fives it's a lot yeah it's nine in fact out of 10 nine out of 10 n out of 10 rolls um yes big hit back thousand suns um struggling here um and I think game over at this point it's it's dicey the main problem we have is the um good pun um but the main problem we have is uh whether we going to have enough units left at the end of the game to score primary okay for the Thousand Suns uh we've probably got one safe unit in the bottom left mhm uh but Tran's unit could probably Chase off a unit in the top left yeah and sit on three objectives for the end of the game yeah I think there were two major um major mistakes dare I say it with no disrespect to Jake dare you say it um one of those was targeting the tank instead of a unit of custodes and removing their safe yeah um and I actually think Magnus moving to the middle was massive because it put him within range of a charge from Tran's unit Magnus should have gone in the bottom right dealt with a squad of custodians and been out of charge range for trun awesome awesome um so it' be interesting to see how this would have played out had we gone that route instead yeah yeah yeah I agree I agree I think they're ready at the table yeah [Laughter] okay to hon so I'm just getcap so you double moved onto the only thing I have done yeah I've got no Kabal points CU I wanted to I had to double move onto the objective that's it so I'll get seven points there so five for CLS two for signals okay five five for cleanse two for signals and then your turn you'll get 10 I'll get 10 yep which turn is this this is turn four botom turn four Mr Anderson you could just so basically if I just stay where I am if you just stay where you are here and here well here you can obviously just run you just shoot me every time okay fine yeah so oh okay so we weren't muted no good all right range I guess all you would do is just get all your guns in range right yeah get them in range it's that's right there so the guns are in range he can stand on the objective without spoiling it for the lads um we'll do something similar here I'll go after the CP just make sure that if you for some reason moved here I will yeah well they're going to do there yeah they're just going to action aren they yeah so this going to be really quick basically so they're GNA shoot there so we've got eight shots on [Applause] twos winning on fours with three rolls oh okay minus one two damage I'll just do that back nearly two so Reaper man and flamer and then Trent unit will do the same the other way cool uh 10 from the spears they don't widay uh three three saves uh two die and Tran himself two hits two more wounds same again minus one minus one yeah s good um these guys aren't shooting cuz they Point teleport so get four for that so get four teleporter that's it that's it yeah so in my turn I'll get 10 primary yep and then I'll get storm hostile behind lines I will pay a CP to bin off behind Lin no no I've got behind eny lines been off storm to capture Outpost amazing than that cool uh so I'll get and then I will just what a God draw that is um Mr Men um do what you want yeah yeah just all I'll do is just make the charge super actually will you charge I don't know I'll just Stick it to how it is so I'll get 11 points from my secondaries and I'll just I'll just stay where I'm chill my beans just stay where I am okay yeah and your turn I'm I'm not coming off anything last turn of the game guys shoot there yeah we could just all stay here and the game just stay exactly I I don't do anything now and it changes both of these units you do get 10 points for your primary don't you Chris so I get I'll get 10 points for primary and then I'll get 15 at the end which actually you're deploy home with at the back they teleport home R another four there and then I'll get another 10 at the end of the game Jake gets 10 more Prime at the end of the game and Chris gets 15 primary at the end of the game thanks Jake that's right even if you did not let me play with my tanks yeah well I don't want to play with those I don't like him go on and how did we do all right well we'll start with Chris go on with what is probably not surprising a big score of 98 oh oh so we were solidly on the primary we got 15 at the end of the game and we did our Homer very reliably and got of course all the character kills yeah thousand suns Jake you got 84 I think you had a big turn the previous one there you touched the I just lost that on primary right yeah yeah I think was it turn two where zero primary to you yeah you zero primary me and then you five primary me yeah which is like quite a big deal uh I I think think I was in I was worried for quite a lot of that game um but I think the turn where the custodes wardens just kind of didn't take any damage out in the middle and traded quite nicely no um I think that's quite pivotal yeah so I think you're you're inclined to disagree if you want Jake but I think Magnus in the middle was the turning point oh yeah I think actually putting him on the other flank away from the wardens well the other idea I had was a two CP don't roll hits and I indirect with Magnus M um and then I probably actually then then if I don't strip your armor save because I've got so much AP anyway it's probably better off to double Doom bolt you yeah I I think that t was dead A Million Ways anyway yeah I think yeah I don't think it makes a huge difference in the score of the game but I think it just gives me another aspect to be able to go and stuff and charge someone it maybe makes it like a 90 to me so or it Mak you make decisions cuz for the last two turns of the game I can say right I walk away from table and and this is this is how this is the B like the game ends actually this game ended on turn four when you're here I'm here if we just don't move we get our points and and I get a cool score that makes me feel good about myself you get a cool score that wins the game yeah we're all happy well I enjoyed that it was actually quite nice the the cads are quite tough uh they're back to being very good I think much tougher than they were much tougher I think they're not going to see the like Pinnacles of they did cuz they don't have the big unit sizes but I think actually the F no pains and all this combined with like a more MSU style is going to be really interesting to see and Tran's unit is a boss as Tran unit is good uh it's very good they needed the the dev things about because that just stupid because they just were paper um I still have my concerns about custodies um it didn't really come up in this game because you didn't bring a bunch of of vehicles yeah but killing a rhino is difficult yeah the check how do you kill a RH I know how do you kill a RH well exactly yeah all you got other other other tanks to do it um that's what I think is going to is going to hold them back um they need uh they need something bit more take him over the edge the Marine car park will probably give him a bit I have to say I was very impressed with the guard We Roll wounds and shoot twice um with the Champions I thought they were Stellar units they've always been the standout unit the guard yeah they were great when you could take 10 yeah well they were amazing when you get take 10 yeah were perhaps slightly too good yeah I think the only thing maybe I would say like a captain would be cool in one of the units the free but which is free strats just don't seem particularly useful anymore because all the stuff you used to do it to it's not about tactic yeah I guess it was I guess it just gives you more choice on like certain like yeah play I guess but know either way it was great fun um Team you've been great thank you very much Michael for your insightful commentary and and your no knowledge of Epic Primark fights George for just constantly going on about blood angs every 5 Seconds that's what I heard about Seb for fixing the camera that I knocked and I didn't tell you I
