Wow guys, you knocked this one out of the park, the scenery alone made my jaw drop. Nick, Tak, I salute you and the team. Beep Boop Beep.
to be honest, every video is insane. The production value, how well the armies are painted... i love it all
Born to be an ork forced to be human
Nick is like an ork player that collected T’au instead. He doesn’t care if he wins or loses, he’s just there to have fun
We should all aspire to be at least a little like Ork players.
Just like in the lore, Orks are doin something right.
For T'au players in 9th Edition, I think "having fun while losing" is a requirement.
@@andrewbakescakes9684 agreed
@@andrewbakescakes9684 fun? FUN? Why have fun when you can be miserable and complain about everything, regardless of if you're winning or losing!
Can we just appreciate how great Nick is. Loving it even when he's losing. A great player, and someone you'd 10000000% love at your table.
He's hands down one of the nicest guys (They both are!) I met him a few years ago when I was a judge for a small tournament circuit and I think he won best sportsman, and Best Overall the following year.
big child at heart for sure. I love that
If only he played something other than the tau... just kidding, honestly, he plays them in a pretty fun way. Remember when he killed the knight in melee combat? That was great
Honestly where would the channel be without his pew pew pew
Tau.
I think we also need to mention that this is THE BEST designed table top I've ever seen! The fog machine, clouds, all of it! Kudos guys, really!!!
We had a lot of fun setting this up. It justified the accumulation of stuff over the years putting a lot of it on the table at once
Cheers!
Agreed :D It's even cooler than that table they made with the big animated Warp portal in the middle of it :D
YES.
Yeah seriously I felt like it also made it funner to bring more units with fly. For real the whole video was great guys. Can't wait for the next one
If you can’t “pew pew pew” a bit when playing, is there even a point?!
Exactly!
My brother and cousins would borrow all my minis when they were younger and play the 'pew pew' game!
42 years old and still enjoy a "pew pew" session.
I raise you a case of “brrrt” fever when firing a punisher Gatling cannon
I’d call Nick a nerd but I’d be a hypocrite.
Nick is 100% my favourite player to watch, he's just so optimistic and gives me good vibes)
Plus he killed a knight in melee, most memorable moment in any battlereport.
Omg yes. He's my hands down top player (although the others are great too!) - makes me want to play T'au even though they're fish people..
@@toxicfireball2690 oh yeah! That was cool
I want Nick to play with Dave from Miniwargaming
He is a tau player after all
If they're going into this kind of batte scenarios, I want to see Sieging of a fortress Monastery. chaos vs sisters of battle xD but a boi can dream.
Wow. Maybe not this season but we will keep that in mind
Yep, I second this. Any Sisters video is an instant watch for me.
if you're talking siege and chaos it's a call for the Iron Warriors ^^
@@SleepyFailer IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT!
Word Bearers vs Order of Our Martyred Lady: Play the scenario from the Faith and Fury book (I did that and it was fun as hell).
GLORY TO THE OMNISSIAH! HAIL THE GOD OF ALL MACHINES!
I just started collecting AdMech, this cannot be a better stimulus for me to paint up my stuff.
Yes!!! Definitely!! Paint them up! AdMech are awesome!
His AdMech paintjob is sick, too
I have a HUGE Tau army and a burgeoning AdMech army. I'm with you.
I fell head over heels in love with admech and their chonky heavy supports and weird troop design on the whole
I've been thinking about doing a bit of admech but the complexity of the painting was kinda daunting (I'm relatively new to mini painting), but after this I might give those skitarii rangers I've had my eye on a shot.
We are so happy to Sponsor this video! Thanks for the amazing work of Play On Tabletop crew. We are really happy to help this channel. More to come in the future for sure!
Your stuff looks great!
@@Arksimon2k Thanks mate! We are a really small company, but we have ton of energy and creative ideas!
You guys deserve every mention you get!
Your stuff gives that level of extra detail and character to the models that really makes the diference. One friend of mine has painted an astonishing inceptor squad with the smokes and gun efects that's really astonishing.
If you want to check it out look for albertminis on instagram (sorry for spam but definetly worth it)
@@QuimFreecss Yes! We share that Inceptor Squad, It's awesome!
“I’ve been looking forward to this.” -Count Dooku
Hahahahaha, awesome!
This is actually the battle of the armies I plan on playing! I’m just recently getting into warhammer and these batreps really give me motivation
I'm so glad we can dish out that inspiration! Play On!
You know its joyous when Nick is amazed about how cool the AdMech abilities are - when they're about to tear him apart. I always love the cooperative spirit and enthusiasm of the players on this channel, and the scenery in this one was just /chef kiss
Nick says he won't use Mont'ka and will use Kayoun.
Next shot-"I'm gonna call Mont'Ka."
Psych! He's a crafty fellow...
"So mont'Ka really didn't help me at all"
What an excellent game! Incredible terrain and an evocative scenario. Both armies played like they were supposed to. The tau were fast and tactical being able to adjust and pull clever stuff on the fly. The Admech were a defensive ceramite wall of guns ready to kill anything that moved in their line of sight. An exciting game from turn 1 to the end!
The ONE BatRep channel to rule them all!
Thank you !
I got kinda lucky with the 9:00pm, I rather have it earlier, but with the quality of the battle reports it’s 100% worth the wait!
We try to switch our timing out every so often so different time zones can enjoy.
See what I’m talking about, these guys even leave replies to comments, and take into account time zones. Best Warhammer 40k channel by far, there’s not many content creators who produce this quality of video, and interact with the community. Props to you guys
Your welcome! It is getting more difficult to respond as much as we used to due to sheer volume but we want to!
Hi time zone friend
How someone downvotes you guys at all, let alone before it even begins is a mystery even Tzeentch is still confused about.
That is easily the most incredible board I have ever seen. You shame us all with your standards! Nice work, chaps!
No shame! we inspire each other and hope to inspire you. . . but we will have a hard time topping this!
Tak your Admech are lovely and you did a great job playing them this game well done. However I think you used the Eliminatio Volley strat when you couldnt have because the strat requires a unit of Kastelans and a unit of Kataphron Destroyers and I believe you only had Kataphron Breachers left on your last couple turns.
Omg yes cant wait i Hope its nick's tau he plays them in a fun and entertaning way
You bet it’s Nick - (this is Nick by the way)
@@PlayOnTabletop most entertaining tau player!
@@PlayOnTabletop one of the few tau players i want to play against!
You had better get Tak to show us how to paint Ad mech that beautifully. Nick's shown us his t'au and all, but we demand Ad mech, in the name of the Omnissiah!
I don't watch many battle reports but this channel has the best ones that keep me engaged in the battle. Love it!
Nick out there casting Teferi's Protection in a Warhammer game. Savage.
Finally, some AdMech action!!
We delivered!!
Agrippina is such a weird choice with only 9 kataphrons. Should have done breacher spam, as the new PL cost for breachers means 3cp can put 12 breachers on the edge when they have been shot to a man.
@@klassensj2 for breachers I think data hoard is best for double hit on 5s and 6s for arch weapons
The armies on this channel are always so impressive! I love watching these matches with passionate players and their gorgeous armies!
Appreciate that you appreciate the volume of work that goes into our armies. They are all projects of passion.
Man, the dice were unkind to Nick in some key moments there, that mixed with a few critical misplays cost him the game, but what a clean gunfight overall. Batrep was excellent as usual, and I love seeing me som Tau and Admech.
Finally 😅
The only batrep channel that's worth my time.
That sounds like a t-shirt...
tabletop titans bets to differ
Jan Nauels eh Table Top Titans are at a minimum like two hours long, some going to three hours plus... I like the guys on that channel but they could really take some lessons on editing down the time from this channel.
@@ErgothDerGott I`ll try to put this in the nicest way possible. First of all, Tabletop Titans are "ok". However, their camera angels are not as cinematic as Play On Tabletop. Play On Tabletop comes with close up shots, no shaky cam footage, usage of camera sliders etc, while Tabletop Titans mostly just offers the diagonal frontal view and top down view which is fine if you're content with seeing just that, but I really cherish the entertainment value that Play On Tabletop brings to... the table.
For the rest, great intro's, with cool visual lay-overs of each army and informative layers and editors pop-ups during the rest. Also last but not least, their video's aren't 2-4 hours long. They are distilled into an easily digestible watch, which, means that the editor had to go through hours worth of footage and watch things over and over again to make a decision on what to cut and what to keep. I'm a video-editor myself and I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into their video's.
Last, they also often take the players 1on1 and ask them how they felt about how certain moves or tactics played out and than there's the narration of it all on top. Many have said this before, but Play On Tabletop truly delivers a level of video that could easily be on TV.
Omkara Hellcore they’re two completely different channels. PoT is a prerecorded highlight game. Tabletop Titans is a VOD of a livestream, with each move explained. It’s like comparing a live football match to Match of the Day. Both, however, do their niche very well.
Can't miss a video with my two favorite factions I go to sleep at 6 anyway
How was it??
@@PlayOnTabletop Great like always
Im seeing a lot of people saying the premiere is at an unreasonable time, so im lucky its at 6pm for me
Lucky you!!
Play On Tabletop honestly, that was probably the best tabletop I’ve seen. I love the cotton clouds
This was much better than that other battle report. I've never been that into chaos faction battles. ; )
Man I wish UA-cam algorithm would reward high quality but slower upload rate stuff. This series has made a fan out of me for 40k.
Just watched the video as an upcoming Tau player I loved this video. The amount of time and effort you put in is astounding I really hope you guys get more popular so you can make more of these videos. Keep up the great work PS if Nick has any tips for a new tau player I've played two games and have lost both although I feel I am improving :)
Tau are in a tough place right now. You have to really nail the movement phase. You can’t really make any mistakes. That said I’m having fun trying out all sorts of combos. I’ve got a kroot idea I want to try next.
Oh god, you’re really punishing yourself there. Try some XV25 and XV95s for early and durable mid board pressure, backed up with loads of breachers, veteran cadre and XV104s.
A sort of “bait” and trap, a true Kau’yon, but you’d Mont’ka everyone to the center to hold. I think it’s our best bet right now.
Man, I'd love to see a custodes vs grey knights battle, that would be so dope
Good god. That stadium looks like it came from the world in the clouds above.
Been really enjoying the music and editing of these lately. There's a subtle touch that fits the armies perfectly. In particular love the part at 9:59 with the ship rising from the clouds. Paints a great mental image of clouds billows of the wings before the rest of the army moves in for firing.
Found this channel like a week ago and have totally fallen in love with it! Can’t wait to see this epic episode keep up the fantastic work!
1011010100101100110101001010
-Amazing game with amazing sportsmanship, these guys are the people you hope for when you play WarHammer 40k!
Not only is you production value incredible - as usual - but your battles themselves are of an insane quality! I mean, a literal BATTLE IN THE CLOUDS??? Heck yeah! Amazing work as always! I haven't even reached halfway through this video, and I already can't wait to see what's next already!
Play On !
FE and Admech duke it out to determine who wears red better
Who do you think wore read better!?
Play On Tabletop I mean... those coldstar mechs do things to me. Beep boop
Not even 5 mins in, and y’all just reminding everyone why you’re top tier BatRep content!
Brilliant game, editing, SFX and player attitudes. Really excited how 9th promises to deliver shorter, closer and more dramatic games too. You guys make batreps so effortlessly entertaining 👊
So ready for a new episode, don't even care that it's 11pm for me, I need more Chaotic Nick Tau in my life
Welp, 3 am, I exept the challenge
Did you pull it off!?
@@PlayOnTabletop totally worth it!
now off to work >_
only just realised you messaged me this, but yes, just barely, I fell asleep right after
Accept *
The production quality is top notch folks. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
So happy I found this channel!
I love every part!
The editing, the table, the information on the left and most of all THE PEOPLE!
Finally, i found a Warhammer 40k Channel with well executed Battle Reports! Thumps up Guys! Keep this 9th Edition BR's coming... loving it so far! No one hand dice rolling, no shaky cameras, no confusion because you have no idea whats going on. Here you get multiple Camera Angles, perfect Commentary and even Special Effects!!!! Thanks Guys!
Premiere is at 4 AM time in my country. Here we go challenge accepted haha
Edit: I made it huys hell yeah!
Same, I really wanted to see it when it came out.
Same dude. Where are you from? I'm from Holland.
Awww, 4 AM? And here I was hoping to watch it live for once...
Well, gonna have to watch while at work then I guess. :D
@@HeleentheArcane Poland here and I'm gonna be there at 4AM
Sorry! Wish we could have it at a good time for everyone. We’re in PST. We try to switch it around for the premiere so other time zones can enjoy. Maybe we can try to hit Holland next time!
I really love Nick, win or lose he always has fun, he is entertaining to watch and his character is outstanding! For the greater good! You'll getem' next time Nick!
Amazing work guys, you are easily in the top 3 on youtube for battle reports....production quality is amazing and that table!!
Consistently the best battle reports on youtube. The editing, filming, and narration is all head and shoulders above anything else.
Always amazed to see wargamming presented like a prime time to show!
As fellow gamers we too wanted to see the tabletop presented in a big way. Glad people are enjoying it!
Hells ya! Been craving a good tau video for awhile now! You guys inspired me to start a tau army and I learn how to better play them with each video you guys make. Just gotta grow my army a little bigger now since I can only afford enough guys for a kill team.Thank you for all of the content that you guys put out, this hobby has gotten me new friends along the way.
We all start somewhere! It is a magical time building your first army. Savor it!
Love this thematic battle! New, shiny Tau tech vs ancient gothic Mechanicus tech. Add the table design and I’m just in love!
Agreed, best 2 armies in terms of aesthetics!
Gotta say as great as the on scene banter is, the editing makes this amazing. The little graphics to show who is shooting who is a perfect touch, along with just speeding up the rolls.
By far the best battle reports. The editing, the models, the board, and how fun but competitive everybody is makes this so fun to watch.
This was AMAZING! The battleground! (in the SKY??!!) The army's! The player's! Everything!
Thx i enjoyed it so much!
Great video as always. As a video editor myself, props to the guy in charge. Any chance we’ll get to see some badass space wolves action? The guys are outthere thirsting xenos blood.
Tak's first "competitive" army (at least the first he brought to a tournament) was his Space Wolves but he has since sold them. There is a rumour he is starting them back up again.
This is an awesome battle, hats off to the camera and editing crew the action was really easy to follow. I've loved getting a better look at those beautiful models while they go at it. Thanks for all that hard work guys
Thanks for watching!
I really love the format of these battle reports. It makes it very exciting to watch and a lot of fun! Thank you
Loved this thanks! Can't wait to get on the channel someday
We'll make it happen!
@@PlayOnTabletop definitely brothers
Well I was about to go to bed but this is more important
YES!!
Every episode y’all knock it out of the park! Both armies were gorgeous and the production value only increases. This channel is criminally underrated and under subbed.
Thanks!
I don't know how, but you guys keep raising the bar on these. Amazing editing, amazing models, a hell of an amazing table to battle on, and amazing players.
I love TauNick (and the fact that name stuck) and the energy he brings to the game. Even when he loses you can tell he's just there to have fun.
My family and I just got into the game with two of the starter boxes and we love it so far. I'm out an army though since there are three of us and the boxes came with two. Been thinking about getting the Tau so I'm looking forward to seeing how they play in real time.
Playing as a family = amazing awesome quality time. I paint and tabletop game with the young ones every weekend and its a highlight for my week.
A a tau kill team and new 40k player, I'll vouch for the entertainment an aesthetic value of tau!
I think I know what to expect with you guys, and then you just blow my mind all over again. How cinematic was that! Love Nick's Tau! I run a pretty similar list and you gave me some great ideas. Thank you!!!
Another lovely Batrep with such a unique table and two beautiful armies! You guys have such a great production quality and bring such awesome positive energy to the table.
This battle was AWESOME! Join Patreon!
Thanks for the support!
This thumb nail is getting me hyped for some ad mech
Great job, everyone. I felt like watching the NFL. This was my first watching of your content after years of YT pushing it on my feed. If you can sustain this quality of the intro, the board, the pace of the batrep and the enthusiasm of the players (especially Nick), I will be happy to subscribe. I'd love to see more AdMech and Black Templars.
As someone who hasn't played any tabletop wargames, your format is a lot more interesting to watch than the 3 hour Titan videos.
This has been like, the best episode ever. Love the terrain, AdMech won, Nick makes me smile I love his energy. GG WP
Glad to see you back! Everyone knows to shoot the robots first!
Definitely! Lol
You guys have nailed the production value of this video. Well done.
Y'all took a great format (season one) and just improved it. Unbelievable stuff. Thank you
You're welcome, and thank you!
ugh i need this that table is so cool
Nick when you used the networked markerlight strat at the beginning of the game you only added 1 but it’s D3+1 and you already had 2 on it didn’t you?
It’s d3 plus the one you just put on sadly you can’t get 4 from it.
Ohhhh
Surely I'm not the only person that thinks this, but you guys have the best format for batreps. Keep pumping them out and your channel will only grow. MMOOOAAARRRR!!!
Really high quality team, excellent production value and the terrain and set up was amazing! I really enjoy these, keep it up!
3:00am UK time! Yeah, I don't think I'll be up to see the Premier.
I love how nick doesn’t play competitively but play so he can enjoy the game
Guys, I love your content so much! The most professionally covered battle reports on YT. Also, I like the length of the videos - not too long, not too short either. Please, don’t make us waiting another month for new stuff ;) Happy playin’
these are by far the most entertaining battle reports I have ever watched in 15 years of the hobby. bravo good fellows!
Kind of think that the imperium should just drop the mechanicus and go for the tau
Mechanicus provides imperium with all the weapons and armoury, tau simply can't do that given they have their own empire to run
That would be saying bbye to warp travel tho....
Atlas oh yeah What I really want mean is that I think the imperium should adapt tau Tech at least for guardsmen
@@speakeroftheowls2394 there is no need, imperium weapon is perfectly fine, they have the ability to give guardsman better weapon but that would be a waste of resource, the thing about guards that makes them scary is their number,
Atlas I see my errors now I guess every one has to have a certain style in warhammer
Tau nick is in my top 10 list for favorite humans
Yes
I really enjoyed watching this match. both players have great personalities / chemistry. they clearly like the game / are having a great time. on top of the professional editing of all this channel's videos, and this is one of your best videos yet.
I'm so eager to see more of these videos, but I can also see why they take a long time to make!
I'm just going to say my favorite races are skitari and orks they always fascinated me when I started 40k I'm so glad I found a mechanicus battle here
Now this is a cinematic 40k battle!!
The batreps just get better and better!
This is your best episode yet. The production value and work that goes into all of these is astounding. Best wishes to the full team
Dream come true for Nick. Man loves terrain and that was an amazing table
I didn't know this is how I wanted Battle Reports to be until I found it. Now I wish other batrep channels did it like you. Excellent job, please keep making videos and let us know how we can support you!
Glad you enjoyed the game! We have patreon. And, it seems like people will watch through the ads on the video which also help. Getting comments like this also support our cause and inspire us to keep going.
I am completely new to WH40K, and I've been obsessed with it for nearly two months.
I absolutely love your channel and the awesome videos you put out. I really appreciate all the hard work you folks put into it.
I'm looking forward to the next one.
Welcome to the hobby!
First thing's first: the scenario, cinematic builds, and the slight touches of the special effects are amazing. Please keep that going, it really sets you apart even further in the community!
Secondly: I'd love to see some Grey Knights! They're so cool and seem so underrepresented!
They are! Stay tuned. . .
I just discovered this channel the other day, and I love your content! Fantastic stuff! Keep up the great work!
Great work! The set design was amazing! It’s always a blast to watch Nick and Tak play, very close and exciting match to watch!
Glad you enjoyed the game! We had a blast putting this table together and playing on it.
Just gotta say, Play On has very quickly become my favorite BatRep channel! The production value, players, skill, and good humor brings it all together. *happy binary*
Happy day to you too! Thank you for watching
Incredible table & quality production as always guys!!!
So happy to see you guys back on UA-cam!!
Honestly one of my favorite games so far! Fun setup, interesting matchup, close games, and one of the most interesting play fields I've seen! Having it possible for the aerial units to fly low into the clouds for cover made this one very cool.
Easily the best edited battle reports. Good job!
I'm so happy to see you guys hit that 100k subscriber mark. You really deserve it
Thank you!!
That table is epic win! Both armies looked great and this was a fun one to watch. Great job guys!
Amazing! The armies, the players, the table and the commentary was awesome!
