Great to see Ed back with his GSC army on a Saturday morning. I always look forward to these battle reports, keep up the great work and happy chocolate infused weekend to everyone in the TTT crew! :D
@@corrm Well tbf, the RW are also extremely fast so that didn’t help but the layout is even one from the tournament companion. So yeah, might be better with more terrain but it seems apt to use that for a league game
@@corrm there are multiple layouts, one of them looks pretty much exactly like this one. Although yeah the two rocks with dead tree would be small sheds or houses, true
I have to say with so many channels moving to cameras positioned above the table for the entire battle I really appreciate the hand camera shots. It helps bring you into the game a bit more than looking top down the entire time and I personally get a better grasp of which models are where. Keep up the great work!
Another incredible game… utterly random thought has anyone watched Robin Hood men in tights? Ed so reminds me of the sheriff of rotting ham and chef (I know not in this game) remind me of Cary elwis’ Robin Hood! Probably just me 😎
I think this is all based on misunderstanding. Genestealer cult: Finally the angels have arrived, wait.. they only have 2 arms.. oh Dark Angels: Speed of the Raven! Random Raven Guard Space marine: You called? Dark Angel: ....
I know you want the boards to look nice and for it to be a nice casual, chilled vibe. But these games would be a lot more enjoyable to watch if it was a little more balanced. The GSC army never stood a chance with this mission and board.
Reroll 1's to hit on the Acolytes and reroll 1's to wound because (I believe) the target is in range of an objective marker, could have resulted on quite a bit more damage to the bikes!
Fun to watch as a DA and GSC collector, but as a new player waffling between 40K and OPR, that first round hurt to watch! So much waiting around getting shot without much to do about it...
haha close to Codex release :D just got a mail about new Tau codex (Box) is on the way. Got a game with my friend tomorrow where i plan on playing my Tau :D
Im still new to the rules of this game but I see conflicting answers when I look this up. I saw a couple of times during this game that some of the GSC units didnt even roll a saving throw at all, they just took the wounds because the AP subtracted too much from the saving throw. But ive also seen other games where people are applying the AP to the saving throw itself, so if the SV is 3+ but the AP is -2, they are attempting to roll 5+ saves. Which is actually correct?
Either way works, but GSC generally have low Saves to the point where the AP would be enough you'd need to roll a 7+ on a D6 dice, which is impossible hence they just die 😅
Hey buddy! There’s one available right now on demand against the T’au! Just head over to tabletoptactics.tv for more info and where to sign up! 😊 - Bard
@Aselore is there a source for that? I'm a newer player and had someone tell me that I couldn't shoot pistols and rifles at the same time from the same unit.
@@robertreyes6959 well the demo chargers are on guys that don't have pistols so they're not shooting pistols so they can fire other weapons like most characters that are joining units only have pistols so they can shoot their pistols and then everybody else can shoot their big guns

As a GSC player, this was just painful to watch! The board looks great, but it was so open. Firing lanes to pretty much the entire board.
The buildings counted as ruins you can’t see through, so I don’t think that was the case.
@@zEeoN Even with that, there are still massive lanes of fire for the Ravenwing. Very few places for the GSC to hide and still engage in the game.
@@corrm Well tbf, the RW are also extremely fast so that didn’t help but the layout is even one from the tournament companion. So yeah, might be better with more terrain but it seems apt to use that for a league game
@@zEeoN The GW tournament layout uses 12 ruins, this seems to have only 6 big ruins on the table. Way less than the tournament layout.
@@corrm there are multiple layouts, one of them looks pretty much exactly like this one. Although yeah the two rocks with dead tree would be small sheds or houses, true
My goodness! So THIS is what the Bard is capable of when the dice don't hate him?
No, this is what happens when there's no terrain and its a joke of a primary mission that heavily, heavily favours one army...
All of the cast from TT are great to watch but Ed and James should do more battle reports together. Absolutely hilarious!
Fan fuct: a group of Ravens is called "an unkindness of ravens".
Feels appropriate.
Gah I love GSC - great to see them on the channel again
I don't even think ed could have done anything against that list! always love the banter from these 2.

That was cool, Ravenwing is an absolute love, against a truly interesting enemy)
Having just lost a game to GSC with my Ravenwing… I’m hoping this helps me out!
First time I've seen Ed's nickname. Genius 😁
Hero of Kvatch! 🗣🗣🗣 OBLIVION MENTIONED 🗣🗣🗣 AHHH 👀👀🙏🙏
I’ve fought mud crabs more fearsome than you!!
Brutal from the ravenwing , great watch
"I'm not a fallen!" "That is what a fallen would say!" Dakka dakka
Another incredible game… utterly random thought has anyone watched Robin Hood men in tights? Ed so reminds me of the sheriff of rotting ham and chef (I know not in this game) remind me of Cary elwis’ Robin Hood! Probably just me 😎
Love gsc, they’re awesome, but I recently started painting my neophytes and by the starchildren, why are there so many details!
I love the fun energy being brought on the table, especially James' sfx.
Started a GSC army recently for funsies and can't wait to play them. I been watching a ton of battle reports. Thanks for posting.
An army of hand flamers maybe the way to go for GSC... and the Ravenwing look awesome - a great themed list with flying teeth. Well played gentlemen.
A group of raven is actually called an “unkindness”. 😊
What a great battle report! Ed and Bard are always great, entertaining, and incredible sportsmen! What a fun game!
I think this is all based on misunderstanding.
Genestealer cult: Finally the angels have arrived, wait.. they only have 2 arms.. oh
Dark Angels: Speed of the Raven!
Random Raven Guard Space marine: You called?
Dark Angel: ....
I feel sorry for Ed after watching that. We have all been there
man I'd love a Tallarn guard army using cultist vehicles. almost like Desert Rats force
always love to see the Drak Angels on the table, especially the Ravenwing.
incredible sportsmanship!
I look forward to these so much. I loved it! Speed of the raven!
Love seeing the GSC in action!! Remember that Aircraft models can’t remove blips. Great batrep guys!!

And it got remembered later on! :D

This is why you should help write each others lists if you want a balanced game. This was utterly one sided.
Those three Black Knight squads have six bikes in each? Love the theme
Love the game play keep it up also love to see some more cast of players
We're up to episode 17 over OnDemand 🙂

Great players, great army’s, you guys set the bar .
Speed of the Waven!
great enjoyable game, welldone Ed for being so gracious, so too Bard and finally some good dice roles for him too. Yei all round
Fantastic battle guys very well played by both parties, i mean the extra 300 points certainly helped you Bard! But still very well played.
Let's go Ravenwing! Can't get a handle on mine right now, but love to see it.
“Who the f is James” I wonder after the intro. “Oh he means the Bard!”
Going second on servo skulls is rough 😬
haha close to Codex release :D
just got a mail about new Tau codex (Box) is on the way.
Got a game with my friend tomorrow where i plan on playing my Tau :D
Mein Gutster? Did James actually made a Saxon phrase? Zefix
Great game! Was the first Gambit of tenth for TT??
This was brutal!
Ed mentioned two earlier games he played with GSC, are they available to watch?
They're both available to our OnDemand subscribers 🙂

Thank you.
Bard will 🎵Take You Higher🎵

Hahahaha amazing! - Bard

Never forward deploy GSC. If your opponent gets the first turn, you shouldn't be getting shot at all if you deploy right.
Have you... have you looked at the board they're playing on? There isn't anywhere to hide lol
May I recommend some atv's for the dark angels. I love those silly bumper cars

Is this a good time to talk to you about the four armed emperor and what the starchildren can do for you?
Come on Dark Angels, don't let me down boi's!
How are GSC deep striking in turn one? Is this a league rule?
If they come off the board in turn one they can come back in turn one
@@HistoritorJimaldus this is using return to the shadows?
@@Ruskinses yep 👍
SPEED OF THE RAVEN!
Too bad on the gambit- would have loved to see that go in😁
Umm, James, it's called an unkindness of ravens
This is savage news😱!! - Bard
What is with that terrain? Looks great but no where to hide!
We count them as ruins/blocking line of sight:)
@@tabletoptactics oh I know. Just used to itc ish type terrain.
any chance for an admech game soon (preferably one with the robot detachment)?
Hey buddy! There’s one available right now on demand against the T’au! Just head over to tabletoptactics.tv for more info and where to sign up! 😊 - Bard
24:03
FLIGHT OF THE RAVEN
"Hostes nostros in frena systematice convertentes" apparently in Gothic/Latin.
I don't understand how come the Genestealers at 13:42 go to cult ambush at a 4+? They are not a battleline unit.
+1 for first or second battle round.
Can some one help me get that raven wing list would like to try it
Wouldn’t it be a murder of ravens?
Edit: No, just looked it up, it’s an unkindness of ravens.
GSC! Noice
Top down top down 🤣🤣🤣
Neck and neck game! 😅
Fantastic terrain for kroot vs Dark Angels....😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smile's.
Go Bard
an unkindness of ravens
Your french is not that bad Bard haha do you just know some words or do you speak it more?
Yikes…
First!
Sadly, you cant shoot hand flamers and demo charges in the same phase, as hand flamers are pistols, and demo charges are not.
Yes you can as it's by model not unit
@Aselore is there a source for that? I'm a newer player and had someone tell me that I couldn't shoot pistols and rifles at the same time from the same unit.
