Admech also hitting on 4's with very rare rerolls makes the game swingy. Units have a 50% chance of doing nothing with their low accuracy low volume of fire weapons. Keep in mind admech got absolutely fucked by twinlinked, every lascannon in the army got its shots cut in half. And therefore their damage potential more than halved pared with the bad BS.
Tak, I want to thank you and your staffs' hard work in making this channel come together. You guys consistently entertain me with a game, that by all accounts, is normally boring to watch but fun to play. On your channel, this is hardly the case. Keep up the great work and I am enjoying seeing you guys grow exponentially!
The team is very dedicated to making content that is entertaining for this community we love being a part of. Comments like this help keep us all motivated so thank you!
Yeah genuinely great job on turning this game into something that’s fun and legible to watch. I’ve not played 40k, but have a really good time watching your videos. Keep up the good work!
"Admech are really struggling right now" Last time they were on this channel they tabled Space Marines. This time they practically tabled knights (one of the strongest factions in the meta right now) in turn 1. Then tabled it in Turn 4, only losing because tabling isn't an autowin, and even then by only 3 points.
Just keep in mind the SM game had a pretty disproportionate amount of bad rolls for the SM player, and this one the Admech list was 100% focused on anti-vehicle
if admech go first they are brutal with the bonus AP, but a lot of their stuff feels expensive for its output and durability. they can definitely still work if the pieces come together, but they can also flub horribly and easily
@@cuboidham I agree, but Admech has always been the “High skill floor” faction, so its to be expected. Def need a points drop though. Maybe, say, 10 points on everything not a character with some units dropping a few points more?
To be fair they brought an Imperial Knight to be a door stop to stop the other group from being able to squish Admech, so I wouldn't call that so much Admech performance.
That was the strangest series of rounds I've ever seen and I loved every bit of it. First time seeing imperial knights and I have so many mixed feelings. As for the bet I say do both! Trade them!
This is the best Wargaming video I've ever seen. I love the little animations and the announcer's narration. It helps understand what is going on, while also making it entertaining, something most channels are definitely lacking.
We like it! We do get a decent amount of digital game sponsorship requests and this one seemed a good fit. You get to paint in the game and the gameplay is very familiar just digital instead.
This was a fantastic game. It showed some of the stranger side of 40k games, but also still displayed sportsmanship from all parties :) thanks y'all for a great batrep
NICE! Great report, fellas! So cool to see two games!! What a difference an initiative roll makes. This one was much appreciated, my thanks to everyone involved.
Are you insane Tak? You let Bridger bring Knights? The only thing you could have done that would've had worse results would have been to let him bring his golden boys.
Yknow, since Tak won the first game and Bridger won the second, It is safe to say it should be BOTH. But Tak gets priority and sends Nick away first, and then once Nick is back TT sends Adrian to Canada
Moonbreaker looks like such an interesting way to get into both the game aspect of tabletop and the painting aspect! I'm genuinely excited to check it out.
Depends on what sort of mission you are running, in "Only War" you can win by killing the opposing army rather than by points, points only come into play if both armies are still standing.
I am summarizing here but in Leviathan Chapter Approved Missions it is: End of Battle If a player no longer has any models remaining the other player may continue to play. Determine Winner Based on points.
One of the things I'm interested in for this edition, is the allied units. I'm not sure if Mechanicus gets Knights as a unit, or if its still an "allied unit," but its nice to see Knights with the Admech.
both! hard to choose. Love Play On, but Nick is one fun player to watch. (really all of you are fun to watch). Thanks for your effort and it really has brought me into understanding the game a lot better. I love the lore but I've been hesitant to play the game. You probably are converting me to playing one day!
It's kind of funny that last week, I made a deck exactly like this but the orange paladin was replaced with a warden. Its a very versitile deck, and does well against most, except for the mechanicus.
Haven't ever been able to play or make anything since I'm the only person I know that likes 40k, but have wanted to make a custom knight for forever. Was cool to get to see how they work here
@@PlayOnTabletop it's easy to forget the bonus, especially when you're used to S14 and 20 weapons...I usually don't realize I forgot it until the post-game wrap up
WTF is happening in this game?! I was laughing SO hard at this..... xD Good grief..... Thanks for showing me this bizarre match-up. It was hilariously well-made - and it made my day, guys. :)
This will get lost in the void but the word onager is pronounced with a soft g. It has a real meaning too - it's a ancient Roman seige weapon. I love these 40k videos you all make so much, and I will continue to binge until there are none left, but every time you all say onager I twitch. (p.s. If this is some Warhammer lore thing then I stand corrected)
Appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Between the English language already being the way it is, and then mixing in people's dialects and accents, I know we can't be accurate for everyone. Then there is also the problem of being accurate, but not being the popularized way of saying something to an audience or region. It is an uphill battle but we always appreciate these suggestions.
@@PlayOnTabletop @PlayOnTabletop wow, thanks for taking the time to reply to my pedantic post. Totally understand your perspective, and it's not like onager is an every day word ("time to buy a new onager, honey, the old one is on the fritz"). Love the channel, your passion is enthralling, and FYI you enspired my first army purchase. Have a join.
Now that I’ve seen it this was a lot of fun. Idk if you guys have a Sisters player but I wonder if the knight into that list would have a similar effect for an army struggling in this heavy armor meta
There is a Core Rule Book Mission that nets you a win if you table your opponent. I think it works well as an option but not as a general rule because if two players decide they are okay with it and can have fun with it, great. I think what points based victories does for the game generally is mitigate certain hyper aggressive lists or play styles that may not be fun for an opponent.
This was a really cool game, loved seeing all those knights on the board - once again, was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who was gonna pull ahead! Great video
This video just goes to show how powerful AdMech gets when they go first. It's like an 80% swing, though I'm probably misusing that statistic, the difference is massive for this army more than any other.
3:55 just tell them, you want to show them something cool, and as soon they notice the empty box, just toss' em in, close the lid and off they go to the looser.
"You can't have this objective, I'm going to die."
This is why I love 40k games so much. You couldn't write a funnier outcome.
Seriously tho, what on earth was that ^^
To be fair,
that is like, the most Imperial Knightly thing to do.
I thought the core rule book for tenth says the tabling your opponent is now a win? It's like the last thing that it says in the core rules PDF...
Thats my understanding to@@neon-zaku
i read this in mary janes voice from that spiderman game on ps2
Respect to the Castellan for """willingly"""... ensuring... the victory.
Yes. "Willingly"...
"Even in death, I serve the Emperor. _Especially_ in death, in fact."
High emphasis on “willingly”
You let Bridger play Knights?! You only have yourself to blame...
I take full responsibility
You played Bridger you underestimate his power to roll 4s and 9 inch charges
Knights make the game so swingy it drives me crazy but you definitely need to trade Nick and Adrian since you technically both won!
Admech also hitting on 4's with very rare rerolls makes the game swingy. Units have a 50% chance of doing nothing with their low accuracy low volume of fire weapons. Keep in mind admech got absolutely fucked by twinlinked, every lascannon in the army got its shots cut in half. And therefore their damage potential more than halved pared with the bad BS.
34:40 for JT's description of Cawl's gun
He way overhyped it. Its a damage 3 shotgun.
That was a weird set of games, but highly entertaining.
Weird Warhammer. Yep. Just Weird Warhammer.

Loved this. If we don't get more collabs between you guys, though, we will riot
Bridger is welcome back any time
Now this was entertaining. Also since both armies scored a win I think both players get their bet
Today I'm learning Bridger has a UA-cam channel, i went to school with him. Good to know he's doing well!
"Admech are really struggling right now"

Trade as in at the same time? Trade as in permanently?
As an Admech guy, I loved this episode! Thanks Tak and PlayOn! The Omnissiah is pleased.
This is the best Wargaming video I've ever seen. I love the little animations and the announcer's narration. It helps understand what is going on, while also making it entertaining, something most channels are definitely lacking.
Yo moonbreakers is actually really hype so I'm glad they sponsored the video
We like it! We do get a decent amount of digital game sponsorship requests and this one seemed a good fit. You get to paint in the game and the gameplay is very familiar just digital instead.
This was a fantastic game. It showed some of the stranger side of 40k games, but also still displayed sportsmanship from all parties :) thanks y'all for a great batrep
i will remember this day as the time a chicken-walker looked up at an Imperial Knight Paladin and said "Nah, I'd win". Goddamnit I love Skitarii
NICE! Great report, fellas! So cool to see two games!!
What a difference an initiative roll makes. This one was much appreciated, my thanks to everyone involved.
Are you insane Tak? You let Bridger bring Knights? The only thing you could have done that would've had worse results would have been to let him bring his golden boys.
All according to the master plan...
Absolutely love that you guys kept in the re-rack!
Bridger pulled the chess move of sacrificing his queen for a pawn and it won him the game
Yknow, since Tak won the first game and Bridger won the second, It is safe to say it should be BOTH.
But Tak gets priority and sends Nick away first, and then once Nick is back TT sends Adrian to Canada
5:56 All I could think of is the old "Creeeeed!" meme of him bringing in titans.
Moonbreaker looks like such an interesting way to get into both the game aspect of tabletop and the painting aspect! I'm genuinely excited to check it out.
That lancer is kinda crazy ngl.
I'll quote a wonderful animated movie for this one.
"Both?"
"Both?"
"Both."
"Both is good."
I KNEW split firing that Castellan was a massive mistake! It has so few shots, better to put all of them to the main target for sure.
Nice, just the right video to spend my break from painting Wardogs.❤️
I really hope to one day play against or with you guys and thanks for a amazing/confusing/hilarious game❤
That game was AWESOME! Well played goes to both of you!
Just finished my Cerastus Lancer on Monday. Excited to play it tomorrow!
Amazing game. I definitely vote for both "penalties" to be carried out lol.
send them both. and the games....were amazing. love to see Tak roll like a boss.
That was the wackiest game I've ever seen, those FNP saves? Insane
The Castellan's winning sacrifice? Hilarious
top quality content as always
I think the first round was Nick disguised as Tak.
Fantastic battrep, really entertaining.
And you should definitely do a trade
Depends on what sort of mission you are running, in "Only War" you can win by killing the opposing army rather than by points, points only come into play if both armies are still standing.
I am summarizing here but in Leviathan Chapter Approved Missions it is:
End of Battle
If a player no longer has any models remaining the other player may continue to play.
Determine Winner
Based on points.
The bet was "Whoever loses" so since they both technically "lost" both have to uphold the agreement. That's my logic at least.
Yay! I love 40k collabs.
We've had so many incredible content creators visit this summer. Glad you are enjoying the collabs
It is super cool to see a Moonbreaker sponsorship! I really enjoy that game, can certainly recommend.
"The only winning move, is not to play" - Castellan
"System corrupted" is a pretty accurate way to describe everything Imperium
Love the paint on the Knights, my favorite is the purple one.
One of the things I'm interested in for this edition, is the allied units. I'm not sure if Mechanicus gets Knights as a unit, or if its still an "allied unit," but its nice to see Knights with the Admech.
The Index of Knight tell who can allie with,
both! hard to choose. Love Play On, but Nick is one fun player to watch. (really all of you are fun to watch). Thanks for your effort and it really has brought me into understanding the game a lot better. I love the lore but I've been hesitant to play the game. You probably are converting me to playing one day!
That was wild! Loved every second ❤
This was a delight to watch. What great games
The Castellan yelled "You Didn't win" as it blew up.
I can hear it!
love seeing Tak's admech they look so cool, would like to see how he did that amazing paint job
God those knights look amazing! Really pushes me to get back into 40k.
Art-W Studio does incredible work
That paint job on those knights is absolutely stunning.
The orange dice are weighted towards 4+ and the black dice are waited to 3- and I will not be convinced otherwise!! 😂😂
26:13 second handful of dice roll in a row with a 3:2 ratio for 4+:3-, and a 9:1 ratio for 5s+6s:1s+2s. Follows by ANOTHER 3:2 ratio for 4+:3-
It's kind of funny that last week, I made a deck exactly like this but the orange paladin was replaced with a warden. Its a very versitile deck, and does well against most, except for the mechanicus.
This was a superb episode!
Thank you for another awesome battle report!!
Omg that rant about Cawls gun has me in tears! I strictly play ad Mech, and the rant was accurate!!!
Haven't ever been able to play or make anything since I'm the only person I know that likes 40k, but have wanted to make a custom knight for forever. Was cool to get to see how they work here
"EVEN IN DEATH I STILL SCORE"
"You can't not kill your way to victory"
Castellan knight: you sure about that one?😂
Both you guys should just combine the channels into a big family.
This is how my game with my friend went yesterday. I was not rolling hot enough and he was rolling too hot. It was one of those days the dice be bad.
Don't forget the +2 dice for tank shock when the strength of your weapon is higher than their toughness!!
Bridger used tank shock a couple of times I think. The Cerastus Knight Lancer never got to use it as it didn't make any charges.
@@PlayOnTabletop it's easy to forget the bonus, especially when you're used to S14 and 20 weapons...I usually don't realize I forgot it until the post-game wrap up
Task failed successfully
Love the 40k in 40 minutes, but my vote is both!!!!
WTF is happening in this game?! I was laughing SO hard at this..... xD
Good grief.....
Thanks for showing me this bizarre match-up. It was hilariously well-made - and it made my day, guys. :)
This will get lost in the void but the word onager is pronounced with a soft g. It has a real meaning too - it's a ancient Roman seige weapon.

This Tak is from the same alternate dimension as Chaos Marine Steve. Look, he even has a goatee!
Don’t get rid of Nick, he’s hilarious. Why not have them battle to see which one has to go?
Go Bridger stomp everywhere
This was wild, Mysterious Hero indeed.
Now that I’ve seen it this was a lot of fun. Idk if you guys have a Sisters player but I wonder if the knight into that list would have a similar effect for an army struggling in this heavy armor meta
We have a local sister's player that is welcome on the channel anytime but we don't have our own sisters army here at the studio.
Loved it! I think both players should go. That would be fun
I need more Knights battle reports!!!
It's been said that it's better to be lucky than good. Tak is lucky and good
Those were some wild games and very enjoyable
Tak playing Admech, no surprises here folks, you already know how its going to end.
oh wow the new knight is op, shocker
Castellan is the mvp of the game.
Also you should send both of them
I say whoever of the two wants to visit the other, let them do it. It's their time.
Haha, I love rules, but I still think when you are tabled, it's over.
There is a Core Rule Book Mission that nets you a win if you table your opponent. I think it works well as an option but not as a general rule because if two players decide they are okay with it and can have fun with it, great. I think what points based victories does for the game generally is mitigate certain hyper aggressive lists or play styles that may not be fun for an opponent.
Let Nick go visit, but let him buy a bunch of firecrackers beforehand to "assist" with explosions.
Those ad mech dice roll hot as fuck so often holy shit lol
This was a really cool game, loved seeing all those knights on the board - once again, was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out who was gonna pull ahead! Great video
Amazing game(s)! Great stuff, everyone.
I love watching knights play but it's so frustrating watching the invuln and feel no pain saves make the knights look inferior.
Adrian v Nick? Adrian v Tyco? Oh no.... so much energy Adrian might never go back to Cali lol
Clearly you must send both!
I'm an admech player and I now find myself in desperate need of a Knight Lancer... Damn it
This video just goes to show how powerful AdMech gets when they go first. It's like an 80% swing, though I'm probably misusing that statistic, the difference is massive for this army more than any other.
@@Quin-du6gl First turn swing means that going first alone has a significant impact on the course of the game. It's noticeable with AdMech.
BOTH OUTCOMES PLEASE!!!!!
27:22 mechanicus “I WILL DECONSTRUCT YOU TO DEATH!!!”
both players should get their bet
that was glorious
Great and interesting game. I vote y'all send both.
"Im still standing" the Lancer
Cursed dice know when they're being watched! lol
We were aware of the amount of comments that said the orange dice were cursed in a few videos leading up to this one.
@@PlayOnTabletop Haha! They've bought themselves some time with this game. You know how crafty curses can be.
I got to this this as Tyrranids, While they had no biomass to consume. Knights cannot be allowed to exist while there is biomass to consume.
3:55 just tell them, you want to show them something cool, and as soon they notice the empty box, just toss' em in, close the lid and off they go to the looser.
What a great game!!! I hope Nick enjoys San Francisco 😂
Clearly the spirit of the Cerastus moved through Tak and compelled him to be extra aggressive haha
Be Aggressive. Be Be Aggressive!
Sweet backdrops, the lance knight looks insane! Try angling your key lights away from the walls so it pops more
