@@mightbeapersonmaybe8379 absolutely. Granted, I like the full event sometimes but Play On's quality is so high that other battle reports can't hold a candle to it. Just the camera work/placement alone is light-years ahead of the camera work of most battle reports
@@jeff6028 one of the things I love the most is that a new comer (me) could follow along pretty easily even if I have no experience playing warhammer. The games feel really friendly as well
@@mightbeapersonmaybe8379 not only that, i dont have the patience to watch 2hrs of uncut footage of some people making inside jokes and banter that i dont understand and is uninteresting. It really takes away from what is otherwise a very entertaining game. PlayOn nails it by only cutting it down to the most interesting parts of the game without oversimplifying and still informing the viewer of the rules at play
I really wish there was a Warhammer Fantasy Battles channel like it. Maybe that will change with the coming of the Old World. There are fantasy battle reports, but they range from 1 to 4 hours.
Sadly GW as a company rests on their IP saving them and knowing some parts of the community will eat up their sub par content, never meeting this level of awesome, narrative, and players. GW is a petty, sloth, and miserly company not worth the love they get :(
I love POTT, but like literally what are you fellas even saying? Clearly haven't watched the Death guard Morty Vs Guilliman Ultramarine narrative battle on WH+, no one who had watched that would say the quality or the narrative was lacking. I'd say POTT is still slightly better, but their battle reports have been great and a lot better than 90% of the channels using hand held cameras on YT. Plenty of things you can beat them with, but this, nah? Blowing smoke.
As someone new to warhammer 40k I loved how easy it was to follow the excitement and breakdown of the casters as I don’t know the stats and strats fully yet. Please do more of this as I sense it can really grow the audience base.
Nobody : "Who wants a Battle report at 3 in the morning?" Me : "Oh, boy! 3 A.M.!" Good jobs boys and girls, this tournament is amazing! You guys should do tag team tournament one day
@@JimJones-ur3el Hey man, it still made for an entertaining game and you'll just go for a proper krumpin next game and win the championship! Problem solved!
Didn’t know a thing about Warhammer. Stumbled upon this video 2 weeks ago and had no clue what was going on but loved the suspense and quality. Proceeded to binge watch ALL of Play on Tabletops content. And UA-cam has once again suggested this video for Round 2, now that I understand what’s happening. Hot diggity!
Boys....that was everything a fan could ever have wanted! Great table, epic production values (I love the graphics, a really positive addition and they don't over shadow or replace the original content) and of course, two gentlemen with great manners and skill playing a great game. Nick's happiness at the end when JT let him join in on the out quote....priceless!!! :)
im not sure if you guys read these consistently but i just wanted to say: holy shit, this is amazing production quality. this is the future of tabletop gaming and props to you guys for being on the cutting edge. keep doing what you're doing. where are you guys located btw, i'd love to come play a game with you eventually
Just to say it. This is hands down the best way 40k games have ever been presented. This kind of production quality, with commentators, sleek editing, and lots of creative armies and players makes games so much more fun to watch. Especially cutting out the dice rolling for all but the pivotal rolls.
Man JT all formal and all is growing on me. I like this way of seeing the commentary actually. Nick be Nick, big ball of energy, 29:36 😀 This is such a good match, James and Tycho are just such good players to watch 😀
I just played my first game today and these are the two armies I'm looking at... this is EXACTLY the content I'm looking for. Recommending to all my friends.
I luv that all these people have carved out a way to turn what should just be a nerdy hobby into an awesome production and hopefully full time employment for them and whoever is working behind the scenes as well. Great work everyone.
I am one of those people who started collecting minis partly because of this channel and its great content. I am not at 2000p yet but I am building my way up there and having loads of fun theorycrafting and painting. I would have stuck to only the lore and never have aimed for an army if channels like this and Winter SEO didn´t show how fun playing 40k could be! For real Bruva Alfabusa made me deep dive into lore. Winter SEO made me even consider playing. Play on Tabletop made me want to buy, build, paint and play. Games workshop barely did anything to make me spend money its all thanks to youtube creators!
Large part of what makes this so likeable too is that you guys have lots of charisma and lots of ppl playing that show they're genuinely having a good time
This was a REALLY entertaining game. Was really back and forth between 2 of my favorite personalities you guys have. Mr. Initiative always gives the people what they want.
Brilliant as always. I wish some of the real competitive battle reports would be anywhere near this quality. You feel so drawn in, it's easy to see what's going on and man, those cinematic shots. You guys rockin as always. Can't wait for more, as always Oh man even with two commenting lads this time.
Man I love to see this channel, I´m just a noob whos trying to buy his first army, but man all the passion I see here just motivates me to get in the hobby and start play warhammer 40k, Thanks for the amazing job.
I absolutely love having the commentary pair of JT and Tau Nick, that and the graphics really gave this a legitimate feel. If I could watch 40k League like this every week I'd be a happy nerd.
I'm happy that they have been able to branch out and show people different games, but 40k is absolutely what this channel does best imo and I'm so happy to get some more 40k content. Two thumbs up!
You guys are great, infinatley entertaing. It must be hard making watching a game of other people play with little toy soldiers but you guys nail it haha
already at deployment phase and the sounds are creating an amazing ambience. what an amazing game and tremendous production value. Awesome job as always guys!
You guys really created the perfect formula! I never watched those 2 hour casts or 1+ hour ones cuz they're pretty bland. Love the commentary and edits and you're certainly worthy of being called the number 1 40k tabletop channel 😀
This is literally the BEST WARHAMMER CHANNEL EVER!!! I have nothing but great things to say! It is so entertaining and keeps me enthralled the entire time. WELL FUCKING DONE!!
This was so good ! I waited all day to get home from work to see this and it delivered 100% Great job to both players , I am just learning and getting into 40k but it was intense to watch how close it was! Thank you to all who work on the production and such as well this content is fantastic.
Not even halfway in and it's so killy. I'm a hardcore ork fan and that death guard army still had me thinking of the merits of the plaguefather.. love this channel, perfect
The way you guys have everything shot, and setup, makes watching your videos awesome. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see how this season plays out!
Quick Question: Will the players be able to edit their lists at all between matches? I'm new to the hobby, and not sure what the norm is in most tournaments.
@@PlayOnTabletop Thanks! Can always count on you guys to teach me new things. Would love to see a tournament where each player has a preset pool of detachments consisting of their "army" with different regiments being switched in/out per match. Maybe casualties carry over onto round two? Maybe each player has a limit on army points value/power rating that is high enough to include some titanics? Like a Manta? or a chaos warhound or two? I'm currently available to work remotely as a tourney designer :)
@@Stevie-J sadly nope, not much of a MTG player (just got into it with the new app) but I've always liked the idea of being able to tailor your strategy based on new information. I feel like it adds a depth of skill to the competition.
With 40k you don't have a sideboard like magic and the ability of swapping out cards, instead you have to build a list that is capable of dealing with anything your opponents throw at you which you wont know when you play someone at a tourney so a good idea is to try to make a list that is well rounded.
I like how Nicks new nickname is Boom Boom, which sounds a lot like Bum-bum, that means butt in portuguese... so yeah, thank you butt Nick lol. Also great game, I was bitting my nails in the end there!
I'm convinced that more people would be drawn to the hobby if there was more content at this quality and this kind of fun

The production quality you folks have put up is something that GW themselves should take note of... Jaw dropping trailer indeed !

@@PossQueen If everyone would think like you, Play on Tabletop could never ever run this channel.
I appreciate that JT and Nick dressed up for the tournament. Lookin real schmancy you two.
Seeing JT without the hat and full beard I barely recognized him at first
Agree. JT should at least keep the hat
@@GNdynames nah nick needs to shave the head and then all things will be in order
Seriously you guys are the best, watching your battle reports is what got me into the hobby, I really appreciate you guys!👍🏻

First time I've seen the voice over guy, love it! Love this channel. Keep em coming please. Thanks from your uk cousins. 🇬🇧
The production value of this channel is immense!
10X better than that on Warhammer+
Sad but true
Nobody : "Who wants a Battle report at 3 in the morning?"
Me : "Oh, boy! 3 A.M.!"
Good jobs boys and girls, this tournament is amazing!
You guys should do tag team tournament one day
Noon my time! 🤣
I bet it's the forgetfulness that hurt the most. Great fun regardless!
Yeah, unfortunately my head wasn't on straight that day.
@@JimJones-ur3el Hey man, it still made for an entertaining game and you'll just go for a proper krumpin next game and win the championship! Problem solved!

We read all the comments :). Not always able to respond but thank you very much for the kind words!
Already an epic match with the Orks and Death Guard
Got into warhammer about 2 months ago and I’m thinking of trying the table top, and this is the best video I’ve seen that shows how a game goes
Did you do it??
This was an amazing Opener! Congrats you all for such top tier production and keeping the exciting of tabletop wargaming alive!

I just played my first game today and these are the two armies I'm looking at... this is EXACTLY the content I'm looking for. Recommending to all my friends.
Super exciting game! Both players played really well, and more importantly looks like they both had a ton of fun!

I really enjoy this format, and the Production value just gets better and better
I have never seen such an intense battle report and i loved it!! Good job guys!!
Incredible game and incredible editing ... As always ! 😎👍
You guys are singlehandedly convincing me to finally get some models. You are all awesome ambassadors for the hobby!
Well done guys, u have earnt urself a new subscriber
The Nick and JT commentator tag-team is a force to be reckoned with ngl
Large part of what makes this so likeable too is that you guys have lots of charisma and lots of ppl playing that show they're genuinely having a good time
The pure *QUALITY* of this is phenomenal!

What an amazing game!, halfway through and seeing some ouchy losses.
The ties and the space marine posing on the desk. I can't even, it's too much. That's just hilarious.

@@PlayOnTabletop The genuine love for the game shows in the videos, awesome job!
JT and Nick had me on the floor with that first showing. Hahaha! You guys are the chosen ones. Or two's. Or so..
38:05 POV: Me when I bite an electrical cord
I know I'm half a year behind, but the production quality of this is awesome, keep it up guys.
Never too late!
been looking forward to this matchup all week. I play death guard and a friend of mine loves orks!
You guys are great, infinatley entertaing. It must be hard making watching a game of other people play with little toy soldiers but you guys nail it haha
Every new championship, you set a new level of quality, holy Terra!
And hell yes, James and Michael are back, Watsoooooooooon!!!!
Wohoo a new season! Amazing production value as always
Man you got some fine looking casters! But for real you guys clean up well and man I’m excited such a good group of players.
Great first game of the Championship, some great banter between Jim and Tycho! Two very fun armies going toe-to-toe, what's not to love???
His beard is truly chaos!
already at deployment phase and the sounds are creating an amazing ambience.
what an amazing game and tremendous production value. Awesome job as always guys!
Nice my two favorite armies Death Guard and Orks.
You guys really created the perfect formula! I never watched those 2 hour casts or 1+ hour ones cuz they're pretty bland. Love the commentary and edits and you're certainly worthy of being called the number 1 40k tabletop channel 😀
This is literally the BEST WARHAMMER CHANNEL EVER!!! I have nothing but great things to say! It is so entertaining and keeps me enthralled the entire time. WELL FUCKING DONE!!
I cannot tell what I like more. JT's tie colour or Nick's look of Tie over the T-shirt.
Love the quality work team.
Great game. Your batreps just keep getting better and better. Thanks for sharing!
A trip to the amusement park wouldn't have as many twists, turns, ups and downs as this episode.
The production value is Phenomenal!!! You guys are on Point
This was so good ! I waited all day to get home from work to see this and it delivered 100% Great job to both players , I am just learning and getting into 40k but it was intense to watch how close it was! Thank you to all who work on the production and such as well this content is fantastic.
J.T., I'm glad to see that you're still around! This was a funny, yet painful, dice rolls, game! 😁🤷♂️
Top quality editing and content and so much fun to watch. I don't even play 40k and I'm enjoying the hell out of this tournament! Great content!!!
Not even halfway in and it's so killy. I'm a hardcore ork fan and that death guard army still had me thinking of the merits of the plaguefather.. love this channel, perfect
GAAH and then turn THREE and the orks just get SO smashy! Thought it was over turn two and boom!
Love the production and bat reps!
Love the format. Like a football game with announcers. Makes it feel like a sporting event. Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys are contagious, this makes me wanna build an army. Love the sportsmanship.
Possible alternative title for this video:
"Battle of the Beards"
I love that the end of the intro has the line "Last man standing" in a format where that is not true.
Crazy game. Those dice didn't want Tycho to win...but he lived on through the pain anyway. Nurgle would be proud.
I love how Nick has a suitcoat and tie over his normal T-shirt
a year late, and super new to the hobby, but these are so fun to watch! also 10/10 more tycho please
Crazy good game! Few small slip ups that mattered a lot by the end.
Thank you for sharing this! ❤ Amazing production value!
Blessings to all 🙏🏻
I absolutely love the transitions and video quality! well done!!
The way you guys have everything shot, and setup, makes watching your videos awesome. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see how this season plays out!
That was amazing! Way to go Tycho! Great game guys and fantastic video.
Did Tycho add attacks for Hateful Assault? Death Guard don't get that. Great battle report though!
One of the best duels of the year not gonna lie
Quick Question: Will the players be able to edit their lists at all between matches? I'm new to the hobby, and not sure what the norm is in most tournaments.
Typically for tournaments, players have to play the same list.

Amazing battle report as usual. Keep up the good work and looking forward for the other battle!
The commercial's still running, but I already throw my arms and a thumb up yelling "YES!!! PLAY ON!"
Yo, first video I've seen from this channel and I have to say, Bravo! What a great presentation!
I dig the sports caster format that you guys took for this!
Epic battle! Love all the back and forth tension
Can we get an AOS version of this? Exactly this please? Oh and some felt in the dice tray please!? 😁
I'm excited to see the emergence of the Necrons!
Good job with all the editing.
Battle of the awesome beards
ok this is the third time I'm watching this tournament and i still get excited to see what's going to play out. please do more of these for Season 4
Amazong game! I love orks but I really like the anti death guard, death guard list, I really really enjoy the video, gratz folks
This was such good fun to watch! Amazing quality as always.
I love your 40k content and the quality of it. keep on rocking.
I really wish we could see some bad moons at some point. Our shooty boyz need DAKKA time too.
Isn't Bad Moons on of Mr. Initiative's go-to klans?
They are! I haven't had them on channel since season 1.
I run bad moonz bcz flash gitz 😌
great game. thank god theres so many barns in the north, cause they keep getting burned down lololol
You guys always do an amazing job but this was on another level!
Well done!
I like how Nicks new nickname is Boom Boom, which sounds a lot like Bum-bum, that means butt in portuguese... so yeah, thank you butt Nick lol. Also great game, I was bitting my nails in the end there!
@Tycho - please do a UA-cam guide on how you do your death guard bases ! Anyone have any suggestions? The colour scheme and design is unreal
I really enjoyed not having to hear Nick say “Markerlight” 87 times like in the other videos.
Sneaky Conquest Companion in the back! I love it.
