Play On team: this content is so rad. Please keep going. My friends and I don't even play 40K and we're really enjoying this content. This is my first UA-cam comment ever after years of lurking just to say: MORE PLEASE. This is better than sports, twitch or marble racing.
"...or marble racing" lolol
This channel has gotten me into 40k, but that marble racing comment is a stretch lol.
I agree, that was one of the best battles yet! Aside from fighting for the GREATER GOOD!! Shameless plug for Nick!
Marble racing is hard to beat
Ooooooooo' raaaaaangers!
"How do Space Marines lose?" By adding Chaos in front 🤭.
"HERESY!"
Ouch that hurt lol
I haven’t played 40k since about 5th edition when, in my experience, Chaos was OP as hell. What makes them so bad nowadays? Use curious what’s changed
Speaking as someone who played as CSM for two years in 8th, you saw how Gulliman and the boys got upgrades and refills for days? If you were basic CSM you had to make due with basically the basic buffs only, with a limited Firstborn marine roster, and for basically until Psychic Awakening a limited stratagem pool and scrappy traits. What good stuff we had usually needed a good chunk of the list dedicated to it, like daemon engines and Obliterators. Hateful Volleys/Assault helped at least quite a way, and the upcoming two wound base buff for firstborn marines will help too stop the weapon rebalance and to a lesser degree the aura changes curbing some of the gulliman shenanigans
@@Metalmachine18 I think the problem is not that chaos is bad. It’s that everything else is getting much better. Im a recent player starting in 8th but a Doomsday Ark one shots most heavy units like Repulsors, Onager Dunecrawlers, Trygons, and much more! Also Chaos Space Marines and Chaos in general (except for nurgle) promote really high risk high reward gameplay. Which is fun I love that kind of game play, but unless you’re Khorne you don’t get the best melee units. Like against most armies oh boy in melee combat you will kick but, other armies like Tyranids and Orks do it better... Oh yeah and the whole Necrons have a antitank weapon that can one shot almost every vehicle in the game but is almost impossible to kill with anti tank weapons that only costs 193 points.
its a little thing but I love the credits being a model showcase
Awesome! We love that too!
I'm joining the "love the credits" club too. They're amazing!
Im jumping on this train too! Love it
@@PlayOnTabletop Yeah is there a link to maybe an Instagram Side for those Soul Drinker Models? I've really fallen in Love with them.
@@jekro1 Check us out on instagram and we have more stuff on there!
The production quality of your videos is incredible....every aspect.
Thank you! We’ve enjoyed making them!
Im a big fan of your work as well mate, especially the importance of having breakfast in one of your latest pieces :) Keep on rockin it in the 'peg!
Eyyy it's my favorite Canadian
Quality ? I thought this was actual war footage!
You should do a collab with them and make terrain that they can play on
Jesus Christ this channel has become the golden standard of 40k battle reports.. I mean, the production value is off the f***ing roof!! If you could only release videos slightly - just slightly - more quickly, we will be eternally grateful
"How do space marine players actually lose?" is a question we've all wondered at some point.
Simple, by playing other Space Marines.
dude that's BS.. I play Marines against lot of forces, got myself tabled by tyranids quite a few times. You can say I'm a shit player, but I'd argue my list is quite solid. I watch a lot of channels and see marines beaten time and again, by Crons, by Tyranids, Orks. Those aren't top tier armies.. Marines are a good army, but I'm tired of hearing the same old complaints every time they do well.
‘Dude’ it’s not. I’ve been playing this game for 30 years and marines have ALWAYS had an advantage. If your being tabled by nids regularly in any edition other than 5th........
Marines are the reason I have Minotaurs..... to kill other marines. Combat doctrines and primaris have only made them harder to kill in new editions.
@@jasonwarwick5062 are you kidding me? before the space marine codex vol2, they sucked. There where barely any stratagems you could use. Tau, Eldar wiped the floor with marines, there was no chance.
If you brought marines. The opponent had to tailor the list to even give you a chance.
Only viable'ish way to play was to run Ultramarines + Guilliman castle and/or very FW heavy.
How about 7 th edition again their vehicles had no invuns or jink, they blew up left and right. Unlike battlesuits and wraith constructs or other hovercraft
@@peters6345 I think you'll find that nobody agrees with you. Space Marines dominate the competitive scene.
Those are some sick pants JT, you're rocking it
thanks mate!
@@jtmcdowell2331 that intro fucking rocked man
Ooooh, is that Sarpedon in the back with the spider legs? Hell yes.
Yup it is!
I just imagine Sarpedon doing the crab rave dance
@@s.k.8139 the eldari are going extinct *dances*

Awesome!
Never too late to start!

Not actually Guilliman tho :v
@@quangnguyentrung647 - If it really was Guiliman, I’d say she was justified dumping him. He’d definitely have let himself go...
Amazing video as always! Great game, excited to see y’all in 9th you guys keep stepping up the quality and it’s super impressive.
That was a hell of a send-off to 8th edition! Thanks for filming such a fun game! I think you should keep the cool model in the end credits bit, really provides an opportunity to see cool paintjobs and conversions up close!
Yes we are going to keep that up! Makes us really look out for cool armies to have on the channel
i've had no experience but love watching these and you can tell these guys know their shit with how fast they are going
Ohh man, using almost that whole turn to then not bring down the Guilliman hurt my soul. Well fought though, it looked worse than it was until the end. Good editing as always production guys.
Those Souldrinkers are phenomenal. This gives me hope that more players think out of the box when building an army.
My body is ready! Looking forward to this, you guys have the BEST battle reports hands down~
Thank you!! We really appreciate that!
i dont even play tabletop, but this has brought some understanding to me of the local game shops i used to see as a kid in the 90s and 00s.
they had the tabletop setups, but i never knew what was taking place. this channel has made 40k seem cool and exciting to people like me who are outsiders.
The early game looks really cool storywise - aeldari raider rushing and encircling the space marines.
I'm going through some tough times with deep depression and you guys are always giving me something to look forward to. Thank you and really amazing job on the video as usual.
Love your Chanel the sports like commentator really brings the show to life
Thank you! We put a lot of energy into making the game interesting and engaging!
Today I realized JT was wearing the harlequin themed yoga pants the whole game. Total power move.
GREAT match. JT, I was rooting for you the whole time, my heart broke when you couldn't take down the Primarch. You had some dope plays, well done to both players.
Thanks mate! Always a tough fight vs Jim Vesal, and always fun!
Great, great battle-report, I'm loving it since this show began. What I realized, whenever someone plays against Marines, I always think "wow, they rolled so bad." But that's actually because marines has so many re-rolls... other armies need to use their CPs to sometimes re-roll hits and wounds but as Marines has always re-rolls, they actually only need to use their CPs when they need it most. I hope this changes in 9th edition, in Warhammer Fantasy 8th, Elves re-rolling everything was also a problem but this is bigger: Marines bank so many CPs!
So far as we can tell, marines will have more CP to play with, and with the new action system, are more incentivized than ever to take those re roll characters that no other faction has.
However, now the CP re roll no longer works on a lot of stuff, so space marines will probably be using more strategems than ever.
@@nathanieleck1023 the nerf to captains being limited to one per detachment will also limit how much cp marines will have. Normally, marines take 2 captains for hq choices but now its going to cost cp.
I’m really curious what Jim’s headcanon for how the Souldrinkers acquired Primaris Marines was, that’s a lore aspect I’ve been thinking about for my own questionably loyalist homebrew chapter
“You will not *believe* how cheap those Primaris were!”
‘...’
“I stole them!”
Could just be that primaris on the table top are closer to the size and effectiveness of actual marines in lore. And even then aren't strong enough lol
Cawl tends to do some shady stuff. Maybe he and the Chapter Master bonded over looking like a centipede and a spider.
I have a painted Soul Drinkers Army that is all Primaris. My headcanon is that the chapter was wiped out, Sarpedon went to the Warp, and the chapter was enshrined on the walls of the Phalanx.
Cawl revived it for the Indomitus Crusade, and the chapter master is the only surviving Soul Drinker who was on the Deathwatch during the time of their conflict.
My custom made Sons of Echidna (Alpha legion) had data from heresy stolen from raven guard (Deliverance lost book), some info from Fabius Bile and some stolen plans from Cawl (acqured after some victories at games agains CSM and AdMech).
Thus they were able to create their own breed of bigger meanier marines. And then they were able to secure some storages and forges on planet where our campaigns take place.
On the other hand it would be easier to make a forgery of order from Cawl - with some free shipping :D
Are there any incoming vids with the imperial guard?
I’m new and I watch these to learn how to play different factions. (And for entertainment)
Great battle report keep it up!
Yeah! I wanna see my sweet Guard Boys in action! ;)
I had Cattachan army some years ago,but got stolen. When I come back I'd like to play IG again.
There was a video with a guys custom imperial guard but their grotts
I love the soul drinkers color scheme! Honestly this is my favorite 40k channel for watching tabletop games for production quality and the variance in different factions, like the soul drinkers and fanmade models. Really great stuff!
I heard, "with his army in his pants...". Well, that sounds... uncomfortable.
Funny enough... I heard that too... That's not what we meant lol but yes, Dark Eldar your pants would be really uncomfortable. So Spikey.
This has become my favorite 40k channel the production and players are great. My favorite part of the channel is I feel like I can experience the whole game with important dice rolls that give suspense and hearing the players tactics and thought process in a well edited and concise format. Keep up the great work can't wait to see more games in 9th!
I really love the narrative element at the start. It's not a huge amount, but it doesn't have to be. Just a little bit of context to the match is entertaining.
Glad you enjoyed it! We love doing the cinematics.
You guys produce the best 40k Battle Reports. I watch many channels on this stuff and you guys come out with a clear lead. Production is top notch and I love that you condense down into 30-40 min highlights. Also I appreciate that you work to include some narrative/thematic elements into your games. Some other channels seem really jaded when they play and I ask myself, "why are you even playing?".
Keep up the good work.
God those Soul drinkers are one of the prettiest armies I’ve seen. Please more!!!
The music on these videos is always on point! GJ editor. props
Enjoying the new format. Good to hear Steve on the commentary, but he still needs that first on camera win. Go Steve!
Working on it!! Haha I hope that I get that Victor T-Shirt soon!
Commentary is a lot of fun! I think I'll give it a go again soon!
I really appreciate you guys cut out dead time.
It makes the watch experience so much more palatable.
Dont give all the credit to space marine OP'ness. Buddy throwing crazy lucky
Is Tau Nick still drooling in a corner from the Overwatch changes, which is why he cannot play/cast?
Nick was filming it :)
It was nice to see Jim showing more confidence here. I noticed he seemed to have a hard time keeping eye contact and speaking up last time he was on, but he was doing much better this time around.
And of course it's good to see JT actually get in front of the camera and play. As much as I like your commentaries, I hope we get to see more of you playing too in season 3!
"How do marines actually lose?"
They play other marines.
I really love seeing good Xenos armies. I got into the hobby by starting as a kid with SM myself, a lack of cool opponents that feel natural fighting each other as common enemies easily kills the feel and narrative aspect (Unless you are the Inquisition, they can find a reason to kill ANY other faction, especially other inquisitors). We need more people to play non-Imperium factions so there is someone to have epic battles with!
Hey u can make a reason why two imperium armys are going to battle like some dark angles are trying to keep an area of a random planet secret but a battalion of the adeptus mechanicus are doing research so the secretive dark angles are battling the nosey ad mech. Idk but its totaly do able with some creative lore reason
@@nice-um7fc Of course it is *possible* but if 7 out of 10 people showing up to an event play Space Marines, it's far less interesting, natural and narrative
I fought more Imperium forces with my Space Marines than anything else in about 10 years of hobby
@@nickkohlmann Any Adepta Sororitas ( Bolter Bitches) amongst them by any chance?
@@nickkohlmann It is pretty boring going against straight imperium. Fun to have more nids but when it comes to competitive stuff they arent that good. Same with dark eldar but we got new edition that will hopefully balance things out like that.
I honestly think that this is the best battle report channel. Some of the other channels talk too much about unrelated things. They don't edit and cut things. This battle report is amazingly produced and straight to the point. Good camera angles too.
Good game fellas. Both armies just look fantastic but that Sarpedon/Guilliman is something else.
Absolutely pumped for this!
I only discovered your channel a few weeks ago but by the bald head of Chaplain Cassius your content is absolutely top notch!
I collected Space Marines, Tyranids and Tau back in ~1999/early 2000s and you have helped me to rediscover my love for this game and world. I hammered Dawn of War, Chaos Gate and other wh40k games but yours is by far the best 40k UA-cam content I have ever experienced. Thank you!
PS. If you ever need an extra voice or narrator from across the pond, I would be honoured to collaborate with you.
Play On!
Well that’s fun to hear! I hope you enjoy the episode! Drop us a line if Facebook. You never know what could happen! :)
@@PlayOnTabletop I've just finished the episode and it was beautifully presented. I've watched all of your battle reports and they were honestly brilliant from the get-go but now your vids are incredibly refined. Great job!
- I will absolutely drop you line :)
The lost sons of Dorn against the Aeldari?
Such a beautiful clash I didn't even think of!
9 wounds so he can hide behind stuff and does not degrade, a 2+/3++ and ress on 4+ is probably the cheesiest unit in the entire game. So glad you can't re roll his ress in 9th ed
He is powerful but he's been nerfed a bit by both rules being downgraded and points being raised. He is still strong but he's not dominating like he was
@@jamesconner3056 and thank the ruinous powers for that
I mean, don’t get me wrong, he’s a very strong unit, but at over 300 points, he’s certainly a pricey character. There are much, much more cheesy units in the game of 40k, admittedly, most of them space marines.
Guilliman is super strong, and is really, really hard to remove, but he doesn’t clear hordes, and isn’t super fast. He can decimate a battle line, but he’s no leviathan dreadnought.
Been really enjoying watching these - haven't played 40k in 20 years but I'm still gaming in other areas. Hats off to the whole crew that put this together, and thanks from the UK!
You are welcome from Canada! Glad you enjoyed the shows
What a superb battle report! 2 amazing players with gorgeous models! I really like the fact that the aeldari soup army showcases all 4 factions, and the ravagers and raiders look great! Play on Tabletop really do make the best battle reports on UA-cam!
The Soul Drinkers saga is what got me into 40K. Super cool to see them on the board :D
When we saw what Jim was painting up we had to ask him to be back on the channel with his Soul Drinkers
This is the best vid so far, and all the previous were outstanding. Major props for making it easy to follow. Also, JT and Jim are great players to watch. Good job team!
Honestly, I love your channel. You all clearly put a lot of effort into making these episodes some of the best on UA-cam.
Holy crap. The production quality was already good but you guys stepped it up this season! PLAY ON!
Love the editing in these, love the end credits, love the shooting animation, love the knowledgeable players and fast paced turns. What amazingly well put together content all around. keep up the great work!
Definitely one of my favorite matches I've watched on this channel so far. JT, you're a badass. I've learned a lot from watching you play your Aeldari (Drukhari) armies. Thanks man.
Holy shit after I intro I scrolled down and expected to see hundreds of thousands if not over a million subscribers. Insane quality guys keep it up.
Really hate to see those dice do my boy jt dirty like this
Y'all armies are just absurdly gorgeous, and the run-time just right.
It's been 13 years since I've opened my 40k case, but I am loving these videos. I may have to dig my army out of the wardrobe.
The new visuals look superb. You guys are really raising the quality.
The Dice did not like JT, and it was hilarious how the narrator sounded almost surprised and amazed every time he said JT did something right tactically, like he never thought he would actually do that.
I swear the production value improves every time! The music, the models, the fx, the camera work. It's great, just great!
Man I absolutely HATE video batreps usually, but this is NEXT LEVEL. Instant sub.
Glad you found one you loved!
the Covid handshake got a laugh out of me. I was so relieved when Guilliman died, JT wanted that so bad. I say that as a 2nd Company Ultramarines player. 10/10 content as always.
He needed to die earlier so my ravager would live, and possibly yvraine. Still I think I could have had him...maybe...
@@PlayOnTabletop next time, Gadget!
Again, every time I am simply mind blown by how much time and dedication you are puting on your video editing. But it results in fast paced and fun to watch battle reports with tons of visual aids.
I'm amazed to see how the quality always reaches new levels!
Awesome, just awesome. You guys really make the best battle reports.
Thank you!!
You guys produce by far the best 40k reps and in part it’s down to their length. P.S. that Soul Drinker army is sick.
Man o man, this just got me even MORE hyped for my Indomitus Box on Saturday. Once again, awesome job on the Battle Report
This is more esportish content than most official esport channels on twitch or other content platforms. Really glad about every single upload. You guys rock
Really glad I watched this one all the way to the end. There are a few awesome twists in the final ten minutes.
Oh man, what a fight. Thank you so much for your great efforts and games. Your channel boosts the game to maximum. The 40k in 40m format is so great and makes it so easy to follow and experience such a great battle. I totally encourage you to keep on track - you guys are awesome and your work needs to be shown to way more people!! May the Emperor, beloved by all, protect you!
Thank you! Comments like these keep us going. We glad you like it.
"how do marine players ACTUALLY lose"
I've been thinking this since the early 2000s.
Quality of the vids is through the roof. Fast become my fav batreps. Great work guys!
That will be a nice Bday present
Really love the paint job on the Aeldari. The starbursts are really striking and the nebula's are beautiful. I've been trying to improve my own space-theme'd painting skills with little success.
JT does have a knack for the nebula paint job!
@@PlayOnTabletop Have you thought about doing tutorial videos? Maybe even on a separate channel if you wanted to keep this one battle report focused?
A really close and entertaining match. I really love your battlereports, entertaining, informative and just gorgeous to look at in regards to editing, effects and music.
Not to mention the consistency in getting good and very sporting players. It's just more fun to watch, when the players play fair *and* enjoy themselves.
Good job guys, hope you stay safe and healthy in these times :)
Greetings from Germany!
Bruh I saw Astartes and I was thinking it's gonna be another boring basic chapter. Then I saw it was my boys the Soul Drinkers! They look absolutely amazing! I love it when people play with obscure chapters in this game. It actually makes it interesting. I also love to see that someone else also likes the Soul Drinkers!
Building a soul drinkers army, thinking I'll play them as blood angels. People say that they should be Imperial Fist, but Soul Drinkers doctrine isn't seige. It's drop pods and getting within bad breath distance.
Those armies are beautiful and the channel’s content is amazing - thanks for this awesomeness!
Beautiful armies! I'm in love with that Soul Drinkers purple.
Great battle reports too - best 40k on UA-cam.
great bat rep, i really love how enthuisastic jt is about the game. it really makes me smile.
Fantastic report. Great job, guys!
The editing is so insanely good. Best battle reports out there!
SOUL DRINKERS ARE SO GREAT! Astounding work, hard fought on all sides, you guys utterly rock! For whatever you hold dear, the Emperor, the Chaos Gods, the Greater Good, please keep up the great work!
sick eldar starlight painting stuff on the vehicles
Awesome report! Thanks for making these!
The production is so impressive! Keep it up! Best content I've seen so far
Awesome report, as always. I F-ing love your battlereports!
Using enforcers in place of scout models is absolutely brilliant. Definitely stealing that idea for my BA scouts.
They do look fantastic, don't they!?
34:31 Yes, He does. The Emperor watches over His Angels.
Another great report! Great production and fun players to watch.
The quality is crazy guys. CRAZY!
I love this narrative!. What an epic send-off to 8th!!!
Never played Warhammer before, mostly because it always seemed ridiculously difficult and intimidating but this channel really makes me want to start!
Absolutely love watching these, it's really helped me with learning the game. Pretty soon here I'll be taking my own army out to play but until then this will do
I hope you get a chance to. Glad your enjoying the videos!
Dude, ur production quality is amazing. What a report.
Thank you!
This was great guys! One of your best videos!
Thank you!!
Really like the format you guys do.
Man I so wanted this one to go just a little longer was rooting for JT! I’m so glad I randomly stumbled upon this channel a couple of days ago I don’t actually play 40K but I really want to now, love these battle reports they are sooo well done. Need more!
And you shall have more!
That Soul Drinkers army is beautifully painted.
Looks amazing.
Dudes, the music you guys bring to this is so good.
OMG the production quality is through the roof!
