0:02The Black Templars and their righteous
0:04zeal have pursued the forces of chaos
0:06deep into the Sicatrix Maladictum.
0:09Avidon himself has come to strike down
0:11this high marshall and his so-called
0:13crusaders. The trap is sprung. The
0:15battle is joined. Will righteous zeal
0:17carry the day? Or will 10,000 years of
0:20treachery and cunning win out?
0:23It's Black Templars versus Chaos Marines
0:25in this 40k in 40 minutes.
0:34Since I started working here, I have had
0:37to fight my way through all of the staff
0:39in a gauntlet. And I have now reached
0:43the mini boss, the boss before the final
0:46boss.
0:47>> Hello, I'm Tao, the child of chaos.
0:48Super stoked to be with you today. I get
0:50to play Mitchell. Mitchell and his
0:52godammer assault force black templars
0:54headmanned by high marshall Hellbreck
0:56squares up against Tao and his chaos
0:58space marine creations of bile led by
1:01the war master himself Avdon.
1:03>> Both armies all about the hugs. I can't
1:05pronounce this so I'm going to try three
1:07times in three different ways and we'll
1:08figure out which one's the best.
1:09>> Tao has quite a reputation for being one
1:14of the toughest fiercest opponents.
1:17Colon Eric Accelerants and
1:19>> I think I have the hardest fight coming.
1:23>> Colon Jerichic Accelerants,
1:25>> but I have been in the painting dungeon
1:27with Tao
1:28>> collergic accelerants.
1:30>> And I know that he's actually just a
1:33little nice teddy bear, so this should
1:34be no problem.
1:38>> Yeah.
1:38>> Jade's deployment type is a sweeping
1:40engagement on a terraform mission. One
1:42or more units, each within range of a
1:44different objective marker not within
1:45their deployment zone, may attempt to
1:47terraform those objectives. If
1:49completed, each of the markers is then
1:50terraformed by that player. And from the
1:52second battle round onwards, at the end
1:53of every player turn, players will score
1:55a victory point for each objective
1:56marker that they have terraformed. If
1:58the objective marker they're
1:59terraforming was terraformed by their
2:00opponent, it no longer is and is now
2:02terraformed by then. From the second
2:03battle round onwards, at the end of the
2:05command phase, or at round five if they
2:06went second, the player whose turn it is
2:08will also score four victory points for
2:10each objective marker they control, up
2:11to 12 victory points per turn. Of
2:13course, primary maxes out at 50 for the
2:15game for both players.
2:16>> For this list, I have taken the
2:18Godhammer Assault Force. This way, I can
2:21take as many tanks as I can.
2:23>> Mitchell's Godammer Assault Force
2:25consists of a Castellan, an Emperor's
2:26Champion, High Marshall Hellbrook as his
2:28warlord, a judiciar, a lieutenant with
2:30combi weapon, a marshall, and a tech
2:32marine. That's a lot of characters. He's
2:34got a five-man assault intercessor
2:35squad, a 10-man crusader squad, and a
2:37fiveman intercessor squad. There's an
2:40impulser, three blade guard veterans, a
2:41brutalis dreadnot, a land raider
2:43crusader, three outr rididers, a
2:45redempter dreadnot, a repulsor
2:47executioner, and four sword brethren.
2:49>> Black tempers kind of scare me cuz
2:51they're actually just as good at hitting
2:52things as I am.
2:53>> I can disembark 3 in and still charge
2:57out of that if I position properly.
2:59Hellrect will be in the impulser
3:00attached, the assault intercessor squad,
3:02and the emperor's champion will be in
3:03there as well, running solo. The blade
3:05guard and judiciar are in the repulsor
3:07executioner. The castellan, marshall,
3:09and sword brethren are the landraider
3:10crusader. And the crusader squad is also
3:13in that land raider crusader.
3:15>> I believe Tao is bringing the cult of
3:16Nick, very renowned. They need to go
3:19down. There is only one god, and it is
3:21the emperor.
3:22>> This is a sneaky unexpected list from
3:24the child of chaos. Normally, I'm all
3:25about my demon angels, but today not a
3:27single one. So, it's all infantry all
3:29the time.
3:30>> Tao's creations of bile consists of
3:31Avdon the despoiler as his warlord and a
3:34master of possession with the prime test
3:36subject enhancement. He's also got a
3:38sorcerer in terminator armor. He's got
3:4010 cultists, 10 chaos terminators, 10
3:43chaos chosen, two squads of two
3:44obliterators, a 10-man possessed squad,
3:47two fiveman possessed squads, and a
3:49fiveman raptor squad. Tiger will start
3:51with his Terminators and Sorcerer and
3:53Deep Strike, as well as one of the
3:54obliterator squads. Today, this is a
3:56grudge match for the ages. Plus, I get
3:59to play Mitchell. Whether you call him
4:01Abdon or Abaden, he's the war master of
4:04the Imperial Nihilus, and he's here to
4:06take some space marine heads.
4:09>> I'm ready.
4:10>> I think I'm ready.
4:11>> You know what you need to get ready for?
4:12I have a surprise for you.
4:13>> Uhoh. What's happening?
4:18>> Yes.
4:19>> Awesome. You look great.
4:20>> You've inspired me.
4:21>> Excellent. And now we are like dressed
4:23for the occasion. We're dressed for the
4:24occasion.
4:26>> All right, who's going to put down the
4:27first units?
4:28>> I'll let you do it first.

5:09>> Hello, coach of Nick.
5:11>> You're not affiliated with me.
5:12>> Nope. This has nothing to do with Nick
5:14from Play on Tabletop. Hello, Nick.
5:17>> Have you come to bless your cultists?
5:19>> Mitchell's got his intercessors on his
5:21home objective. Those guys are on the
5:23bottom floor.
5:24>> Raptors in the midboard hiding.
5:27>> I got Han Velsing. He's going to be on
5:30the objective.
5:30>> Possessed on the line.
5:34>> This little tanky poo is going here.
5:36Don't want to be in the building or on
5:38the terrain or anything.
5:39>> Five possessed on the left behind
5:41terrain as much as possible.
5:46Obliterators near his home objective.
5:49Redemptor dreadnot tankrred behind that
5:51terrain block. Huge blob of possessed on
5:54the left side.
5:57Impulser near his home objective.
6:00>> It's going to have to be Abdon and the
6:01boys.
6:02>> Yes.
6:03>> Chosen with Abaden near his home.
6:05>> We're going to go to big land raider.
6:07This land raider is full. It's full to
6:08the brim. It's got 16 transport
6:10capacity. I've got crusaders. Got sword
6:12brethren, a marshall, and a castellan in
6:14there. I've got my flanks.
6:15>> Me, too.
6:16>> I'm going to go out and then in. But
6:18that's what I'm doing.
6:19>> I love mirroring my opponents. It's my
6:22favorite thing.
6:23>> I'm done. Brutalis Dreadnot in the
6:25midboard.
6:27>> Outr Rididers dead middle. Do you want
6:29to go first or second? Mitchell, I
6:30>> actually WANT TO GO SECOND.
6:32>> ANOTHER THREE. IT'S A FOUR. YOU'RE GOING
6:34FIRST.
6:36>> I need a second to breathe. I'm scared.
6:38I'm nervous.
6:40>> Beginning of the game stuff. I have to
6:42choose a vow.
6:43>> Mitchell's choosing accept any challenge
6:45no matter the odds. He's going to get
6:46plus one wound against targets that have
6:48equal or higher toughness than his
6:49strength and melee.
6:50>> Combi Lieutenant Han Veling has a
6:53priority target identified.
6:55>> He's choosing the center objective as
6:57his priority objective for reroll ones
6:58to wound. Tao choosing Colinergic
7:01Accelerants for plus one attack
7:03armywide.
7:11Here
7:16is Do you want to?
7:18>> Yes, I do.
7:18>> Mitchell's got extend battle lines and
7:20engage in all fronts.
7:21>> Ooh, it's not easy cuz then I'm just
7:23going to give you a charge. My tech
7:25marine here, he is going to bless my
7:28repulsor executioner. That's going to
7:30give it plus one to hit.
7:31>> The intercessors secure Mitchell's home
7:33objective. He will exert control over it
7:36until Tao comes and takes it away.
7:44bikes advancing to get to that top left
7:45objective to score some extra points on
7:47engaging all fronts.
7:49Uh it was nice knowing you bikes. My
7:51combi lieutenant Han Veling is going to
7:52run out and claim table quarters.
7:54>> Oh, that's a tech piece that's out in
7:56front now. This could be a poor
7:58decision. We'll see how it plays out.
8:00>> If Tao moves with any of his units, he's
8:03going to jet right back into that
8:04terrain and make any of those charges
8:07extremely hard. and he's going to hide
8:08from any shooting.
8:12A dreadnot into your possessed mini
8:16gatling gun which is strength five. Five
8:19sixes are devastating wounds.
8:21>> Difference.
8:22>> The big gatling cannon. This one's
8:24strength six. And more shots.
8:27>> Possessed.
8:28>> One down, one more wounded. Lieutenant
8:30Hem Belling into the possessed. Nothing.
8:32>> I can handle one possessed as the losses
8:35for the first turn shooting from a
8:36space. Mitchell will score four on
8:37extend battle lines and four on engage
8:38at all fronts. He jumps out to an
8:40eight-point lead. However, those extra
8:42two points may cost him on extend battle
8:44lines. His lone op lieutenant, which as
8:47we've seen in many games is an
8:48INCREDIBLE TECH PIECE. AUTOITE goes turn
8:51one.
8:58[Music]
9:03Tao pulls assassination and no
9:04prisoners. Kill stuff and kill stuff.
9:07Hey, look. I see some stuff I can kill.
9:08>> Abdon with a mark of chaos is sent it
9:10for a four plus invulnerable save to all
9:12infantry within 6 in of him. Such a
9:14great defensive ability.
9:15>> Cult of Nick. Talk about how great it is
9:17to be a Nick and sticky my objective.
9:23I know the real power of these black
9:25templars comes in their charging. So,
9:27I'm going to have to be very cy about
9:29where I leave units, what I expose, what
9:31I give Mitchell as targets. Fiveman
9:34possessed. Closing on the outr rididers.
9:3510-man possessed hiding behind the
9:37terrain on the left side of the map.
9:39>> Here comes the raptors.
9:41>> Wounded possessed into the midboard as
9:43well. Chosen keeping out of the 9-in
9:45reactive move of the lieutenant, but
9:47that puts him in the range of their
9:49guns.
9:50>> Well, you have successfully evaded my
9:52evasion.
9:53>> And I got to do some no prisoners
9:54action. Let's do some shooting. Abdon
9:57and the boys are going to try and take
9:59down your uh Van Helsing. He's going to
10:02dockp packed
10:04>> icon to reroll and get a seven to get an
10:07extra command point is good. Plasma
10:09pistol overcharge. Feel no pains are
10:10fine. Lieutenant still up.
10:12>> Overcharge plasma.
10:14>> It wounds
10:16>> sixes. Nope.
10:19>> No pain.
10:20>> Han Veling is going to hold his ground.
10:23He is not going down today.
10:24>> He loves the plasma. Do I go boom boom?
10:27>> Come on.
10:28>> It's a two. Abdon didn't manage to
10:30finish that darn commando. Moving on to
10:34the obliterators. Obliterate him.
10:37>> Obliterators using focused malice and a
10:39successful dark pack.
10:40>> Warp Rift firepower is going to allow my
10:42obliterators once per game to fire out
10:44of line of sight.
10:47>> No, I'll go through.
10:48>> Three of them go through for 18 damage.
10:51>> 18 damage. I got this.
10:53>> Okay,
10:53>> here we go.
10:56Oh, heck no. That is a kill and an
10:59assassination.
11:00>> Oh man, that is definitely overkill. I
11:03don't know if it was worth it to put Han
11:04Veling out in the open and have him die
11:07first turn, especially when it only got
11:09me an extra two points.
11:11>> Vaporized. We're going to shoot at your
11:14bikes with my raptors.
11:16>> Only two wounds in shooting to the outr
11:17rididers from the raptors.
11:20>> I'm going to terraform the center
11:21objective with these here possessed
11:22right there.
11:22>> That's not cool, man. Well, I don't
11:24think I can fail my charges here, but
11:26we're going to roll them anyway.
11:30>> The purple possessed of Dave have
11:32charged the outr rididers. They're in.
11:34>> Raptors.
11:36Raptors charged the out rididers as
11:37well.
11:38>> The raptors force a battle shock test
11:40right now.
11:40>> No.
11:42>> Raptors do force battle shock at the
11:43start of the fight phase. It is passed.
11:46Possessed with the dark pack succeeds
11:48choosing sustain hits. Possessed. Outr
11:52rididers are wiped out. That is a second
11:53no prisoners for two more points.
11:57Well, there it is folks. That lone op
11:59lieutenant gave up seven points total,
12:02five on assassination, two on no
12:04prisoners. It's 9 to8 for Tao as we head
12:07to Mitchell's turn two. Mitchell scored
12:09great here in the first round, but I
12:11scored one better. I'm super stoked.
12:13Here we're going into round two. I think
12:15Mitchell's got some very difficult
12:17choices ahead of him. He's going to have
12:18to figure out where he can go without
12:21eating big counter charges from me.
12:27[Music]
12:34>> Mitchell's pull assassination and area
12:36denial.
12:37>> There's not many characters for me to go
12:39at right now, so I might have to do a
12:41long bomb charge with my Emperor's
12:43Champion. the center objective. However,
12:45I'm really hoping that my brutalis can
12:48single-handedly take care of the center
12:49objective.
12:50>> Tech Marine again blesses the repulsor
12:52executioner, giving him plus one a hit.
12:53Mitchell holds his home objective for
12:55four points on primary, taking him to
12:5712.
13:02My lander is just going to move. Boop
13:04right there.
13:09Kool-Aid man through the wall. Repulsor
13:12executioner getting a line on that
13:14fourman possess squad. Impulser dumps
13:16out Hellbreck and the assault
13:17intercessors. Emperor's champion stays
13:19embarked.
13:19>> Intercessors are going to advance.
13:24>> Hell moves up.
13:31[Music]
13:35My tech marine is going to advance. Tech
13:38boy.
13:41Tao spends a command point here on rapid
13:43ingress.
13:44>> This is going to change everything. He's
13:46brought in his terminators right in
13:48front of the possessed brick. Oh boy,
13:50that's a lot of beef.
13:51>> So I understand, Mitchell, that I may
13:53have put you in a pickle.
13:55>> Yes, I'll take a pickle about it.
13:58>> Yeah.
14:01Delicious pickle.
14:02>> That's a girly pickle.
14:03>> That's
14:07juicy.
14:08One eternity later.
14:11>> Wait, that pickle's too good. I need
14:14another bite.
14:16Let me get some shooting going on.
14:20Start over here. I'm going to shoot my
14:22lander crusader everything at Abdon's
14:25crew.
14:26>> Monstrous visages from Tao here for a
14:28command point. That's going to make his
14:29unit minus one to be hit in the shooting
14:31phase.
14:31>> Force
14:34on force when linked. saving on a three.
14:38I take a singular wound.
14:39>> Assault cannon.
14:41>> Oh, he only loses one.
14:44>> Redemptor dreadnot.
14:45>> Redemptor. Now only wounds a chosen.
14:48>> Now we're repulsor executioner is going
14:51to fire everything at your possess.
14:53>> Oh no.
14:54>> Defensive array shooting offensively.
14:57Fives.
14:57>> Saving on threes. This guy's down to one
15:00wound remaining.
15:00>> Crisis rocket pod. It's re-rolling.
15:04>> Make them both. Yeah, multi melta.
15:08>> Okay, save a five.
15:09>> Oh, what?
15:09>> What? Stop that.
15:12>> Big laser cannon. Luckily, I reroll
15:15hits.
15:18>> That's D6 plus4 damage.
15:22>> I do not trust my dice, so I'm going to
15:24fire my entire Brutalis dreadnot at that
15:26last guy.
15:27>> Brutalis melts the possessed into
15:30oblivion.
15:31>> Impulser into the 10man possessed. One
15:33down, one on a single wound remaining.
15:40>> What to do here? I really, really need
15:42to make this decision accurately and I'm
15:45having commitment issues.
15:46>> So, this is a really tough decision
15:47because if you charge my possessed here,
15:50uh, it's a pretty easy heroic
15:51intervention from the terminators over
15:53here. Vice versa if you try to charge
15:55the terminators, the same thing from the
15:57possessed.
15:57>> So, I think the only thing I can do is
15:59just send it. I'm going to charge my
16:00brutalis into the raptors first.
16:04>> Charge phase now. Brutalis into raptors
16:05midboard. Three mortal wounds on the
16:07charge. That's one raptor down and one
16:09wounded.
16:09>> Spend a command point and tank shock on
16:11top of that.
16:12>> ONLY TWO MORTAL WOUNDS. WOW, THAT'S ONLY
16:14two and a half killed on the charge from
16:16a brutalis.
16:17>> Ah, weak. So, if I charge the possessed,
16:22the terminators will be able to do a
16:24heroic intervention and I do not want
16:26that to happen. I have to roll exactly a
16:31seven or higher, but not too high to be
16:34able to avoid this countercharge.
16:38>> Hell charging the five possessed on the
16:40objective. It's a three.
16:42>> I'm going to have to command point
16:43reroll this one.
16:44>> All right, GIVE HIM A LITTLE PROD.
16:46>> OH NO, IT'S A FOUR.
16:48>> Oh no. No, I didn't make it. No.
16:53>> Hell is out in the breeze. I think I'm
16:55going to be able to storm forward and
16:57slaughter the flower of the black
16:59templars.
17:00>> Good game.
17:04>> Brutalis Dreadnaugh now and Mitchell's
17:06got a command rolled to hit. Taigo makes
17:08one. One model from the raptor squad has
17:13stopped area denial. OH MY LANTA.
17:17>> NO. WITH THE BRUTALIS dreadnots's belly
17:20bump, tank shock, and six attacks could
17:26not take out five raptors.
17:28>> Air denial is only scored for two
17:31points. That's disappointing.
17:33Assassination discarded. Mitchell is up
17:35to 14 to Tao's 10.
17:49Established locus and overwhelming force
17:51are drawn for Tao. Amadon with a mark of
17:54chaos ascended again going to give a
17:55four-up involunt save to all infantry
17:57within six of him which I believe right
17:59now includes those obliterators.
18:02>> Diabolic regeneration that's going to
18:04cost me one command point.
18:05>> One of the chosen comes back.
18:06>> Hopefully that cuts down that charge a
18:08little bit. Raptor battle shock. He
18:10loves it with a nine. Tao holds two
18:12objectives for eight primary. It's 1814
18:17[Music]
18:20moving phase. Purple possess squad
18:22there. Moving to the midboard.
18:25Terminators move their five.
18:27>> I'm going to overwatch against your
18:28terminators.
18:28>> Repulsor executioner opening up full
18:31rerolls in Overwatch with so many guns.
18:35>> Two dead, one wounded.
18:37>> That was totally worth it. That was
18:38totally worth possessed over here are
18:40going to advance.
18:44>> Obliterators step out.
18:48>> Chosen only advance back into gain
18:50cover.
18:52>> Hey, look.
18:53>> The obliterators have deep struck in
18:57>> a Terminator sorcerer.
18:59>> Death hexing hell. He's going to cast
19:01deathex on you. He rolls a three. That
19:03means that you are death hexed. That's
19:05going to reduce armor penetration on
19:07that unit by one, making them easier to
19:08hurt.
19:09>> I'm going to grenade your brutalis
19:10dreadnot with my raptor. Grenade. I
19:14rolled one four.
19:15>> Oh,
19:16>> only one mortal wound.
19:17>> Terminators are going to fire at your
19:18tank. They're going to dark pack for
19:20lethal hits.
19:22>> Oh, the dark pack fails. That kills a
19:23terminator. Wounds another. Start with
19:25the infernal gaze.
19:27Five shots.
19:30>> Five. Oh no.
19:34>> Two. Two damage and nine wounds remain
19:36on my impulser.
19:38>> Hazardous check. Four is good. Storm
19:40bold. Here's the re-rolling shots.
19:43>> The impulser takes fire. Six wounds
19:46remaining.
19:47>> And now it's time TO OBLITERATE THEM.
19:50>> Oh no.
19:51>> First obliterator squad now with heavy
19:53melta profile. Focused malice. Dark
19:56pack's good.
19:57>> Focused malice.
19:59That is a total of three shots.
20:00>> Okay.
20:01>> Sustaining on sixes.
20:05Nine damage total. Three wounds left.
20:08>> We're good. We're okay. We're okay.
20:10>> Rinse repeat from the second unit of
20:12obliterators. The dark pack's okay.
20:14Sustain hits called.
20:16>> Ooh, I missed once, but there's two
20:18sustain.
20:21Let's take down the dreadnot.
20:22>> Go.
20:24>> Oh, wow. Command r saves the dreadnot.
20:28HE MADE FIVE SAVES.
20:31>> AMAZING. So Avanon is going to shoot the
20:33dreadnot. Dark packs. He makes it. So I
20:36get a command point out of it.
20:37>> Avanon and friends incidental shots into
20:39the dreadnot.
20:39>> Threes manages a wound.
20:41>> Six bolters.
20:46Okay.
20:48>> Turn a charge phase. I'm going to spend
20:50one command point.
20:51>> Tao with auto stimulants on the
20:52possessed to allow them to charge.
20:54>> The possessed are going to charge both
20:55your intercessors and hell and friends.
20:59They tag the intercessors and hell
21:01squad.
21:03All righty. Here comes the terminator
21:05charge into Hellre and the inter what's
21:09its inter
21:10>> interuler.
21:11>> Inter pulsers. Wow. Here he goes.
21:14There's an 11.
21:15>> Terminators hit the 11 into both
21:17Hellreck and the Impulser.
21:19>> The Raptor is going to charge your
21:20brutalis dreadnot. Okay.
21:22>> He gets a big one too.
21:27possessing the inboard. Charge the
21:28brutalis successfully.
21:31>> Obliterators need a 9-in charge on the
21:34deep strike.
21:35>> Oh wow. Out of DEEP STRIKE. 12-IN CHARGE
21:38FROM THE OBLITERATORS.
21:42>> LUCKILY, I have a thing. It's right at
21:44the beginning of the fight phase. Hell,
21:46he's got a thing.
21:47>> Hell's high marshall ability kicks in at
21:49the start of the fight phase. D3 wounds.
21:51That's going to kill a Terminator and
21:52wound another.
21:55>> Start with a blue. Okay,
21:56>> we're going to dark back for lethal
21:57hits. There's a six. That's their
21:59leadership.
22:00>> Lethal hits. There's five wounds. He
22:02only fails one. Tank the Redemptor
22:05lives.
22:06>> Tankrid endures. Yes, my Redemptor
22:09Dreadnot is still alive with one wound
22:11remaining.
22:14>> Okay. Well, hopefully he doesn't
22:15survive.
22:17>> Possessed into the brutalis now. Unholy
22:19bloodshed for devastating wounds.
22:21Choosing lethal hits with the dark pack
22:23without rrolls to him. probably the
22:25better option here.
22:26>> That's one devastating wound. Eight
22:28saves to make at minus one.
22:30>> Three wounds remain on the brutalis.
22:32>> So now it's a raptor champion.
22:34>> Power fist from the raptor. Four
22:36attacks. Does he dark packed?
22:38>> No. Dark packed.
22:39>> Nope. Can't blame you there. One wound
22:41through though.
22:42>> Fours.
22:44>> Two damage.
22:45>> Two damage. Yes, MY BRUTALIS DREADNOT
22:47SURVIVES with one wound remaining.
22:50>> Both dreadnots failed. Meaning I didn't
22:52score any secondary points. I'm really
22:54giving a Mitchell a big opening to come
22:55back into this fight.
22:56>> The big possessed squad is next. Oh, I
22:59love this unit. Five go to the
23:00intercessors and the other four into
23:02Hellbreck and his assault intercessors.
23:04Dark Pack successful for sustained hits
23:07>> into your intercessors.
23:09>> Popping the once per game unholy
23:11bloodshed for devastating wounds as
23:13well.
23:13>> Here we go. Oh wow. Intercessors down to
23:17a single model. They should be wiped.
23:19>> Possessed into Hellrech. into Hellre and
23:21the Assault Intercessor Squad now.
23:24>> Oh my goodness. And then one guy left.
23:27He's dead. And now Hell Breck.
23:29>> Three devastating.
23:30>> Oh, three devastating. I'm not going to
23:31roll it. HE'S DEAD.
23:32>> AND TAO DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO ROLL THE
23:34MASTER OF POSSESSION.
23:36>> WOW. POSSESSED. Do devastating wounds
23:38and managed to off the chapter master.
23:41>> Hell's unit is wiped out.
23:43>> Terminators into the impulser. That's
23:45enough to kill the impulser.
23:47>> My impulser is wiped out. my whole left
23:50flank. I don't have a lot going on
23:51there. I'm going to need reinforcements.
23:53>> Emperor's Champion is okay on the
23:55disembark.
23:56>> Just for the heck of it, allocate one of
23:59my Brutalis attacks into your raptor.
24:01High risk, high reward, and then all
24:03five into the possessed.
24:04>> Brutalis into the raptor. Fails to hit
24:06it.
24:07>> Possessed.
24:10>> Kills one of them. Redemptor punching
24:12obliterators gets three damage through
24:14>> AP2. I'm still alive with two wounds.
24:17Lone intercessor punching at possessed.
24:20Nothing in it.
24:22Established locus is discarded.
24:24Overwhelming force is kept with
24:25dreadnots on single wounds. That's not a
24:28bad idea. He does get a point on
24:30terraform here to take him up to an
24:32extra two now as he scored one on
24:33Mitchell and one on his. Tao's at 19 to
24:36Mitchell's 14 as we head to Mitchell's
24:38turn three.
24:41[Applause]
24:43Overwhelming
24:54force and storm hostile objective are
24:56drawn.
24:57>> So I've just got to take a few models
24:59out and I can score big on secondary.
25:02>> Tech marine again buffing the repulser.
25:04If only he were close enough to the
25:05dreadnots to heal them.
25:07>> I will do some battle shocks. Tankrid
25:09>> tank
25:10>> loves it. Redemptor passes Battleshock.
25:13Brutalis fails Battleshock. Lone
25:15Intercessor fails Battleshock. Only four
25:18points primary for holding his home
25:20objective takes Mitchell to 18.
25:26>> Emperor Champions just he's just going
25:27to stay there. Land Raider
25:31>> Redempter falling back. Tiger Overwatch
25:33is with the Obliterators with a warp
25:34hail profile. He just needs to sneak a
25:36single wound through.
25:38>> I'm going for lethal hits. Darkbacked.
25:40That's a six. They love it. 2d6 plus six
25:43shots.
25:46OH. O.
25:49Three wounds and three hits.
25:52>> That's four wounds minus one.
25:56>> Good. A.
25:58>> Yes.
25:58>> Blade guard are hopping out.
26:00>> Blade guard disembark the repulser.
26:03Sword brethren hop out of the land
26:05raider. Crusader squad is also out of
26:08the landraider. I will get one charge
26:10off today.
26:11>> Blade guard close on the possessed.
26:16>> Lone intercessor attempts the desperate
26:18breakout. It's a 50/50 roll here.
26:20>> He's going to be brave now. And he dies.
26:23No.
26:27Sword Bros are going to shoot your
26:30obliterators there.
26:31>> Sword brethren into the obliterators.
26:33You got to love anti- infantry with
26:35devastating wounds.
26:36>> Four devastating wounds. Uh, Brutalis
26:39Dreadnaugh is going to unload everything
26:41into that stupid raptor.
26:44>> Multi melta. Uh-oh.
26:45>> The raptor is down. That is an
26:47overwhelming force.
26:48>> Land raider crusader.
26:49>> Landraider. Multi melta into the far
26:51obliterators. Tao saves. I roll the
26:53four. Avadon bolters into the chosen.
26:57Two dead and one in a wound.
27:00>> Okay, my repulsor executioner is going
27:02to fire everything at your big unit of
27:05chosen there.
27:07That's That's a lot of dice. Four dead
27:11possessed.
27:11>> Blade guard veterans are going to shoot
27:13their pistols.
27:14>> Blade guard pistols down. Another
27:20>> big one that really really matters.
27:23Giant 11in charge with my crusaders
27:26here. This is a long bomb. I need this
27:30to happen for overwhelming force.
27:35SO CLOSE.
27:37SO CLOSE.
27:39>> A 10. That was so close. It's worth a
27:43command point for the desperate attempt
27:45to get four victory points.
27:47>> Cuz if you make this, they're going to
27:48fight those guys first. Save your
27:49dreadnot. Make my overwhelming force go
27:51away. It's not just four. It's actually
27:53like a 7.6.
27:54>> Inverse four.
27:56>> HERE WE GO.
27:59>> YEAH. WOW. 12 ON THE DICE.
28:02>> IT'S A 12. IT'S a 12. WOWEE. WOW. WOW,
28:06THAT IS A 10-MAN crusader squad charging
28:09across the board right into the middle.
28:11I knew wearing this shirt was worth it.
28:13This is exactly why I wore this shirt. I
28:15needed to channel the Tao rolls here.
28:18Awesome. Yes. Uh, Sword Bros.
28:21>> Sword Brethren, charge the Obliterator
28:23there in
28:26Blade Guard, reach the possessed.
28:29>> And finally, my Emperor's Champion into
28:31the Terminators.
28:34Yep. God, I want to be surrounded by
28:37terminators.
28:39I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good now.
28:41All these guys charged out of the
28:43vehicle. So, they take battle shock.
28:45They take battleshock. And they take
28:47battleshock.
28:47>> All battleshocks passed by their charge
28:50targets.
28:53Start of the fight phase. Blade guard
28:55choosing swords of the chapter to reroll
28:56ones to hit.
28:57>> I'm going to choose my emperor's
28:58champion. He's going to attack your
29:00terminators.
29:01>> Everything into the terminator sorcerer.
29:02And he lives. But I'll blank the
29:04devastating wounds.
29:05>> Only three wounds done. The sorcerer's
29:07on two. Wow.
29:09>> Emperor's Champion with a wet noodle.
29:12Doesn't do much. Let's do this. I'm
29:14going to start with the
29:16>> My sorcerer is going to try and save
29:18himself. Monstrous V.
29:21Minus one to be hit from those blade
29:22guard. Plus one to hit cuz they got out
29:24of a transport. The Judicar whiffs
29:26completely.
29:28My V. It worked. Blade guard. Now five
29:31wounds, one dead possessed, one wounded.
29:34>> Wow, that was very lackluster.
29:37>> Crusaders chewing up the possessed in
29:38the midboard. One lives on two wounds.
29:41>> Are you ready for this ridiculous
29:43shenanigans? If I have to take a
29:44leadership check on my Castellan. If he
29:47passes, I reroll hits. If I fail, I
29:49reroll ones to hit, which is kind of the
29:51same difference. And I passed.
29:53>> Sword brethren with full rrolls thanks
29:54to the castle and successful leadership
29:56check.
29:57>> And down he goes.
29:58>> Oh yeah.
30:01Once I kill a unit on a four plus, I get
30:03a command point. I do not get a command
30:05point.
30:06>> My attacks back. All right, we're going
30:08to start with the possessed. I have an
30:10icon on this guy. Dark packed. Four
30:12lethal hits against Dreadnot.
30:15Oh, he loves it. I'm looking for lethal.
30:17I can't go devastating. I would if I
30:19could DO IT. OH NO, HE FAILS. YOUR
30:22CHARGE BROKE all my plans there,
30:24Mitchell. All my plans.
30:26>> It's going to punch you out. The
30:27dreadnot claps back and pops the
30:29possessed in the middle.
30:31>> The possessed fighting back against your
30:35bladeguard veterans.
30:36>> Dark pack successful for lethal hits.
30:38Master Carney first.
30:40>> The master of possession sneaks two
30:41through. Kills two of them on his own.
30:43Can the rest of the possessed down him.
30:46Eight saves to make. OH, SQUAD WIPE.
30:48WOW.
30:49>> SHOWING THEM HOW IT'S done in hand to
30:51hand combat is awesome.
30:54>> I can pile on your can. Terminators now
30:57sustain hits of the dark pack. The
30:59Emperor's champ IS SUPER DEAD.
31:02>> OH MY WORD.
31:05I'm going to drop back onto there.
31:08Come saw.
31:09>> Mitchell does score five on overwhelming
31:11force and four on Storm Hostile to have
31:1219 secondary, eight primary for 27. Tao
31:16will score another terraform point to
31:18have three on terraform to put him to
31:2020. But losing the blade guard, the
31:22judiciar, and the emperor's champion in
31:25the fight back, I don't think Mitchell
31:27expected that. I know I certainly
31:29didn't.
31:30>> Sword Brethren wiped. The Emperor's
31:32Champion wiped. But I still have two
31:36dreadnots with one wound remaining.
31:40[Music]
31:49Taigo's turn three now. Sabotage and
31:51defend stronghold. Paragon of hatred for
31:53Abdon. Now that's a full reroll the hit
31:55bubble of 6 in from him. I think the
31:57chosen have had enough of sitting in the
31:59corner and Mitchell might be in trouble.
32:01>> Insane bravery.
32:03>> Insane bravery on his possessed on
32:04Mitchell's home objective. Tao holds
32:06three objectives to score 12. And he's
32:08probably going to terraform Mitchell's
32:10home.
32:10>> But now I need to clap back. I need to
32:12clap back hard.
32:14>> Terminators move up. Mitchell
32:16overwatches with the repulsor
32:17executioner. A heavy bolter.
32:21Multi melta. Reroll.
32:25Heavy onslaught. Gatling cannon. Reroll.
32:29Oh yeah.
32:30>> Two dead terminators and one on two
32:32wounds again. Just four and the sorcerer
32:34left.
32:34>> Not bad. Worth the command point always.
32:36Good job.
32:38>> Obliterators move up.
32:40>> Advance with Abdon and the boys.
32:44>> Chosen only advance an inch. That's not
32:46enough.
32:47>> Yeah. which means they can't really go
32:48to the middle like they were hoping to.
32:49The cult is just going to fall back off
32:51the objective.
32:52>> Cultist reposition again, trying to stay
32:55hidden.
32:55>> Hoping that if I press hard here, this
32:58has to turn.
33:02Here are the dark pact with Abdon and
33:04the boys.
33:05>> Sustained hits chosen. It's over a
33:07seven. That's going to be an extra
33:08command point thanks to Abdon gunning
33:10down the sword brethren to drop.
33:15I think Abdon and the boys can finish
33:16them off in combat. The obliterators are
33:18going to actually fire at your big mean
33:20tank. All right, this is going to be
33:21focused malice. I am going to dark pack
33:23for sustained hits. Obliterator dark
33:25pack fails. Takes a couple mortal
33:27wounds. 2d3 shots. Come on, sustain. I
33:30NEED BIG SUSTAIN. LOOKING for force on
33:34five.
33:35Look at that. Dark pack lethal against
33:37your tank.
33:37>> Terminator's dark pack fails. Takes a
33:39mortal wound.
33:40>> Yes. Three lethal bolters.
33:44Tanked out to 15 wounds left. Possessed
33:46terraforming Mitchell's home objective.
33:48He will not be able to take that back.
33:50That's going to be a guaranteed five for
33:52Tao on primary.
33:53>> I have a couple of charges here to make
33:57terminators into your repulsor. There's
34:00a 10.
34:01>> A
34:02chosen charge the sword brethren there
34:04in.
34:05>> This ain't going to be good.
34:07>> Terminators on repulsor now. Dark pack
34:09fails. Two mortal wounds kills another
34:11terminator. He's down to three in the
34:12sorcerer.
34:12>> Terminator fists.
34:14>> Lethal hits though
34:15>> on fives.
34:16>> Chain fist.
34:19>> Repulsor executioner down to three
34:21wounds remaining.
34:23>> We're going to go over to Abbidon and
34:25friends.
34:25>> Oh no.
34:27>> Dark packed good for sustained hits.
34:29>> Power fists four to start with. Five
34:31now.
34:31>> Could be brutal. Five.
34:34>> Oh, it is brutal. Squad is gone.
34:37>> And your tank gets to fight back.
34:40>> AP nothings. I managed to take a wound.
34:43>> That's a big big turn for Tao with 12
34:44points primary, two more points on
34:46terraform. Takes him up to 25 on
34:49primary. He has not scored any of his
34:51secondaries. Defense stronghold ongoing.
34:53Discarding sabotage. It's 3427 Tao at
34:56the end of round three.
35:01[Music]
35:04>> Secondaries. I'm going to get a tempting
35:06target.
35:07>> Mitchell's pulled tempting target.
35:09That's the far left objective. and
35:10establish locus. Tech marine buffing the
35:13repulser. Heals it for three. It's back
35:15to six.
35:15>> And now I will do some battle shocks.
35:18>> Insane bravery being used on the
35:20brutalis here.
35:21>> Repulsor executioner
35:22>> passes battleshock. Redemptor passes
35:24battleshock. Only four points on
35:27primary.
35:28>> I've got to sprint over to that tempting
35:31target objective. Let's see if I can do
35:33it.
35:37>> Brutalis advancing a total of 12 in.
35:39That is not enough to get to that
35:41objective. That is super close.
35:42>> I advance for no reason other than to
35:44make it so I can't shoot.
35:46>> Crusaders move to his home objective.
35:48>> He's going to stay out of the
35:50obliterators.
35:51>> Does Alvidon squad overwatch? They do. I
35:53got to do some heroics to save these
35:55guys. Dark pack for lethal hits. It's
35:58good.
36:00>> COME ON. ONE. IT'S TWO ONES. DAD'S BEEN
36:05BOLSTERED.
36:06>> Does he explode? HE DOES NOT EXPLODE.
36:08NO,
36:09>> THAT IS HUGE.
36:13>> Time to shoot the land raider at your
36:16chosen there.
36:16>> Monstrous visages from Tao. That might
36:19save the unit.
36:19>> Threes wounded and another
36:22>> multimela time.
36:25>> Let's all get it.
36:27Yes.
36:28>> Three down, one wounded. It indeed saves
36:30them.
36:31>> Repulsor executioner is going to fire
36:33everything at the Terminators.
36:36Even though it's in combat, it is still
36:38blessed by the tech marine. He's still
36:40going to be hitting on twos in combat.
36:42>> Repulsor executioner just vomiting shots
36:45into the terminators.
36:47>> Big laser cannon. Roll hits.
36:51>> Terminators are down. Sorcerer is left
36:53on two wounds. Tech Marine shooting the
36:55possessed on his home now. Kills one.
36:57Just two. And the master of possession
36:59left.
37:02Crusaders need a six to reach the
37:04possessed. It's an eight. He's in
37:07tech marine into the sorcerer in
37:09terminator armor. He's in with a five.
37:11>> I just wanted to be able to hit you
37:13before you can hit my tank.
37:16Let's do the tech marine cuz I I think
37:18he's fun. It's on threes.
37:21>> Tech marine kills out the sorcerer.
37:24>> Now, let's do this big crusader squad
37:26here.
37:27>> Crusaders into the two possessed and the
37:29master of possession. Can he volume them
37:31out? I need to make a lot of these.
37:33>> Master possession on a single wound
37:36left.
37:36>> No.
37:38>> How many one wound remaining models can
37:40we have in this game?
37:41>> I know, right?
37:44>> Is he going to brave a dark pack in this
37:45situation?
37:46>> Master possession passes the dark pack.
37:48I love the GUTSY CALL HERE,
37:51BUT NO DAMAGE. Established Locust is
37:54discarded for a command point. Tempting
37:55target is kept. Tiger does score three
37:57under stronghold to extend his lead
37:5939-31 as we head to Tao's four.
38:09Toss pull display of might and area
38:11denial. Paragon of hatred again for
38:13Avidon with a full reroll. Hit bubble.
38:14Diabolic regeneration on the chosen. One
38:17comes back. That is super huge.
38:20>> Battle shock. Master possession.
38:22>> Master of possession fails his battle
38:24shock. Tiger holds two objectives for
38:26eight primary. He's sitting at 35
38:28primary at present.
38:29>> I managed to stay ahead a little bit on
38:31primary this game and that's put me in a
38:33really good spot. I wonder if I'm going
38:34to be able to close this out.
38:38>> Abidon is going to advance.
38:40>> Chosen advance and go 11 in. Of course,
38:42they can advance and charge. I wonder if
38:44Mitchell's going to overwatch with the
38:46repulsor executioner.
38:47>> Obviously.
38:49>> 4 hours later.
38:53Sixes.
38:54>> There's one down and one wounded. That
38:56was not as good as he hoped.
38:58Obliterators walk onto the objective.
39:00Obliterators are terraforming. Points
39:02are points.
39:05>> Chosen are going to dark pack for lethal
39:07hits. Not lethal with an eight for an
39:11extra command point.
39:16AON GOT HIM. COMMAND reroll to try to
39:18save the bralis. He saves
39:20>> two regular pistols.
39:23Looking for sixes. No, two boulder
39:25shots. Going to reroll. He needs to not
39:28roll a one.
39:32Who knew? Down goes the brutalis.
39:36Abidon and the chosen charge the
39:38repulsor executioner. They're in. Six
39:41wounds left. Here comes Abdon. I am so
39:44confident
39:46I am not even going to dark pact.
39:50I'm lying. Dark packed. Dark Pack
39:52succeeds. Lethal hits chosen.
39:55>> Drain is going to get nine attacks
39:57because he gets an extra attack for
39:58being in this detachment. Strength 14.
40:01Looking for threes. That is 15 damage.
40:04>> 15 damage. Let's see if it explodes.
40:06>> Does he go boom boom?
40:08>> IT DOES.
40:08>> IT GOES BOOM BOOM. THE REPULSOR
40:11EXPLODES.
40:12>> OH, I don't like wounding my own guys
40:15though.
40:16>> Six mortal wounds to the chosen.
40:17>> Please survive. Tech marine.
40:19>> FIVE MORTAL WOUNDS TO THE TECH MARINE.
40:21FIVE to the crusader squad. Five to the
40:24one wound master of possession.
40:26>> Did I roll only fives and sixes that
40:28entire explosion?
40:30>> This is where uh Mitchell's dice were
40:32HIDING THIS WHOLE GAME.
40:33>> WOW. THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. Even in
40:38death. Even in death.
40:40>> With that though, uh unfortunately
40:41Mitchell's running out of assets super
40:43fast.
40:44>> Things are not going on that explosions
40:46are always fun. However,
40:48>> Tao scores five on area denial, four on
40:50display of might. Nine secondary points
40:52takes him to 21. He's got three
40:55objectives successfully terraform. He's
40:56got 10 points on terraform, 28 points
40:59primary, 59 to Mitchell's 31. Can
41:02Mitchell do anything here?
41:08[Applause]
41:12Even if I get full points on my
41:15secondaries, I can't get you. But what I
41:17can do, kill Abdon and make sure you
41:20fail another crusade.
41:21>> It looks like it's all about pride now.
41:23Cleanse and marked for death. No help.
41:25Four points on primary. He can't close
41:28him, but can he take down Abbidon?
41:30Crusaders close on Labidon. Landraider
41:33closes as well. It's all for the head of
41:36the Warm Master.
41:38[Music]
41:39The land raider guns down Abdon squad.
41:42Monstrous visages for Tao. THE CHOSEN GO
41:45DOWN.
41:45>> MULTIMELTA.
41:47>> Warm master still up.
41:49>> Just Abdon alone.
41:50>> Time to charge.
41:51>> Land raider charges Abdon.
41:54>> Tank shock for my last command point.
41:57>> Three mortal wounds. Six remaining.
41:59>> Oh, what? He's got nine wounds.
42:01>> Nine wounds.
42:02>> I thought Abdon was a sucker. I thought
42:06he was a sucker. I completely
42:07underestimated him.
42:08>> The crusaders reach Abbidon. Fight base
42:11now. Tao with monsters vis Abdon alive.
42:14He's so scary they can't hit him.
42:16>> Power weapon from the sergeant. First
42:19threes.
42:20>> Abdon makes all but one save from the
42:22two damage attacks. He's on four. Will
42:24the weight of the emperor's chains
42:27remove Abdon from the table?
42:29>> There we go. On fours.
42:31>> Oh, this hideous facade is totally
42:33saving my bacon. We're minus one. SAVING
42:36ON THREES. I FAILED THREE OF THEM. I
42:39HAVE ONE WOUND REMAINING.
42:40>> And you know what? I have a Land Raider
42:42Crusader.
42:43>> Nice. CAN YOU ROLL OVER ABDON? Can the
42:45Redeemer run him over? NOPE. THAT'S IT.
42:49THAT'S ALL. Abdon successfully defends.
42:52It's 69 to 45 for Tao.
42:56>> And with that, congratulations, Tao. I
42:58knew this would be a hard match. I knew
43:01that I would have fun though. And boy
43:03did it deliver. We promised a banger and
43:06I think we delivered.
43:07>> We'll see what Mitchell can do in his
43:09final installment of the Gauntlet of
43:12Play on Tabletop. His last installment.
43:15He's going to have to face Tac, the true
43:18mega boss.
43:20>> I'm coming for you, Tac.
