That was a great game, next year Tycho should host and Nick should get to play with his new tau codex. Nick how excited are you to finally get your codex soon?
@@tychoimmega9741 I enjoy watching you play and the 40 minute format in general. If you decide to be a host though, I bet you would kill it. So player or host, imo, it will be a win-win for the viewer.
This was super fun and such a great idea. Michael killed me with the comments about armies that keep coming back. Great work to everyone who was involved!
I have never played 40k, but I think I’ve watched nearly every game on your channel. You do a tremendous job at making your videos inviting and entertaining.
lol I loved this game. Michael talking about how irritating it is to fight a unit that keeps on coming back is sooooo poetic and ironic given he is playing Necrons. lol That was golden!
That 12" charge or however long that was from the terminators was insaaanee. Probably the best charge rolling I've seen. Tycho really encapsulates the Death Guard, as he comes out of the gate aggressive and dwindles down your army while staying pretty firm on objectives - like Mortarion taking over a planet while installing his plague furnaces everywhere. Its sad that in 10th we wont see Tycho use those drones as much anymore, and that death guard got a bit of a nerf in 10th edition.. but I have a feeling that the inclusion of obj. Sec. And sticky objectives will be nice, especially for his playstyle.
15:39. Appreciate that the commentator's desk and the game probably got recorded at separate times but I can fully see nick running and getting changed between appearing on camera over and over again for full effect :D
I love the commentating to add suspense/hype, but making a big deal out of losing command protocols…eh I have seen tournament lists bring multiple dynasties and forgo them all together
Great as always when we going to see the 500 point 1vs1vs1vs1 with these guys Royal Rumble style, you have my permission to call it KORNEFLAKES! With a mention
I think I would like to see GW introduce fixed charge distances for different units/unit types (e.g. infantary get 6 inches, exemptions being terminators get 4" or death company get 9" - something like that). For me it would add a bit more focus on positioning and if you want crazy units that can charge across the field then you have to pay for the points to do it.
I remember when necrons were a faction that kept getting back up when you killed them. So easy to see how bad reanimation is and Necrons complete lack of and defense against mortal wounds now when facing against Death Guard. If rng bullshit heavy weapons that cost a ton of points are their idea of "fun" I would rather have less of that and trade it for ones that actually work reliably for the necrons.
1. The Pox Walker cheese is extremely rare and most of the times they will be dead or on backline obj duty. 2. Id be curious to know exactly which faction survives heavy mortals. 3. Watson is there for fun, Michael knows its not optimal and hes not required to play sweaty.
Spoilers "There's only an 18 point gap between 1st and 2nd and an 18 point gap between 2nd and 3rd." And then there's Steve. Ooof. Sorry man. You got hosed in those games. I'm telling you, you angered the dice gods.
I appreciate the Necron player laughing about how annoying it is to fight an army that keeps coming back. xD "Is this what I've been doing to people? Oh my god I'm a monster!"
@@michaelbuckthorp977 I’ve never played 40k, only read the lore, but after watching this channel a bunch I’ve bought myself a Necron codex and starter set for Christmas this year. Reanimation Protocol at work :D
Had a sniper miss 3 90% in a row vs stasis spam ai. Decided to save scum. Sniper then missed 4 90% shoots. 2 guys even got mind controlled. That was a bad mission and a poor choice to bring in a recruit.

@@sleipnirodin2881 nothing wrong with having a commissioned army. His lists need to be a bit more competitive though space marines aren’t great as it is :(
How could it be? His list is just awful. He can't update his army unless he mixes average looking models with his great looking army(or pays an arm and a leg for each new squad).
That final sentence of the video though 😂😂 fair play to everyone, was great fun to watch. I thought Michael really came out of his shell in this game. Caught me completely off guard with how funny he can be 😂
Thank you guys for making the absolute best battlereports or whatever you want to call them. Great watch length for someone with not too much time in their life. Watching every single dice roll of a 4 hour game that some channels put out gets really dull. So thank you very much editor man, you don't get enough credit!
Micheal seems like a really fun guy to play a game with! His attitude is really inviting even when things aren’t going his way and the personality to the audience is refreshing. Great game!
Just wanna say that this is - hands down - the best battle report channel out there. I've shown your vids to people who don't even play 40k and they were like "Wow! Is this the way all Warhammer games are played?" and I tell them - hell no. Just on this channel :)
love the content, keep up the good work and i hope the channel grows, but could we please see ynnari vs necrons because my friend get necrons and i get ynnari so it would be fun to watch together. please
Congrats to the Death Guard and to Tycho! And a sympathetic note to the runners-up in this one, they all fought hard, but Nurgle (and the Dice) weighed in too loudly to ignore this time.
Wow, I can't believe that the first guy didn't say first. My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. In all seriousness tho, I am really hyped to see who wins this, cos it will be a matter of who wins the tournament and I'm super psyched to see one of my favourite play on members fight against one of my least favourite armies (Only cos my friend didn't read the rules for reanimation protocols properly and just rolled for them whenever a model died, not at the end of the shooting phase)
I hate to say this, and maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean, but reanimation protocols is a lot closer to when something dies than just at the end of the shooting phase. The wording is after an enemy unit shoots or fights, if any of your models were destroyed, you enact reanimation protocols. You can enact reanimation protocols multiple times in the same round on the same unit, because it is triggered by your opponent killing a model with a shoot or fight. The more important thing is that you only roll for the models destroyed by that attack. So I have 20, you kill 3 I roll to reanimate 3 I get 2 back, you shoot me again and kill 3 more, I only get to roll for 3 even though 4 models are missing.
Guys, this was a truly fantastic series. Next time, I'd love to see more games though, such as each player playing each other player. With only two games each, minor swings in luck basically completely threw the entire series for Steve, making his second game more or less completely irrelevant. With three or four games instead...or even six (two games against each other player)...there would be far less luck involved and much more suspense as the scores built.
yes death guard wins and green shity necrons lose i am so happy and look michal poor guy telling his army is garbage now he is right his army is garbage and was garbage before when playing with steve he wins because his dice are letting him win nice one tycho sir
This. Was. AMAZING. Congrats, Tycho! That wrathful dead strat was bonkers and the image of Pox Walkers overrunning lich guard is both crazy and super flavourful.
Watching Tycho doing damage to the necron wall. The only thing people are hearing from me right now is, "LET'S GO TYCHO LET'S GO!!! LET'S GO TYCHO LET'S GO!!!"
That quiet “fuck off” basically sums up the experiences of my opponents when I’m playing as Death Guard.
At 38:00 if you look really closely....
You can see my soul leave my body.
@@Stevie-J 0/10 do not recommend
mmmmm tasty robots!
I felt for yah bud
Judging by how the year of Steve went for Steve, I'm not sure you want next year to be the year of Michael lol!
@@kierans8620 you know I never thought of that.
I like how at 45:14 they didn't even censor the "f*ck off" because honestly.

I'm so anxious to see who going to win season 3
Tycho and his children of nurgle
Michael and his unstoppable Necrontyr
Or James loud green skinz
Rip Steve and his Silver lamenters
My suspicion is Tycho.
Amazing list and general.
Wow the Grand Father really blessing Tycho this time
Good game well played boys
Alright this ones gonna be good. Lookung forward to wattson just deleting a unit.
Also apparently I was first. This has never happened before
WATSON HUNGERS
Man, got some news for you...
I have never played 40k, but I think I’ve watched nearly every game on your channel. You do a tremendous job at making your videos inviting and entertaining.
This is simply the best battle reports channel on UA-cam. You guys did an outstanding job and made 2021 that much better. Thank you. 😊
lol I loved this game. Michael talking about how irritating it is to fight a unit that keeps on coming back is sooooo poetic and ironic given he is playing Necrons. lol That was golden!
What a game, Tycho single handedly sold me on my 4th army! Keep up the great work guys!
Death Guard will not disappoint! Have fun!
Congratz Tycho, once again proving that sort-of-human, actually putrid deads are better than filthy xenos, metal deads.
As JT illustrated, the points were nail-bitingly close! The finale had me counting totals round-by-round. Simply epic.
I couldn't wait to come home from work and watch this final battle!! You guys rock and I will continue to enjoy more episodes in the future!!
I love the respect they have for eachother

You'll might be back, Michael, but so will the poxwalkers.
great game and great season, you guys are a credit to this game! thank you for helping me to become both a better player and a better person to play.
Before seeing the result... GO NECRONS!
It is so kind you left it in that it might be the year of Steve after he is definitely out
This was incredibly satisfying.
You did it man you showed that death gaurd aren't push overs or weak.
Great game! I know nothing about warhammer, but this series was really cool!
Great video as always!
Loved this game! Solid win!
Gj to the winner (no spoiler). good list but really really good plays. WP.
Love seeing the necrons at play as a new necron player. Slowly getting my whole friend group involved 😂
So what I've learned today is that poxwalkers are IMBA and need to be nerfed. Congrats to Tycho!
Also, thank you guys so much for an awesome season 3!
from 31:54 - 32:02 had me spitting out my frosted beverage and hooooooooowlin' with laughter
Michael can be quite the character
When the Deathshroud made their charge
Warlord: Oh no
Watson: oh no
Deathshroud: OH YEAH!
Great job guys. Loved it!
I really feel like there was a lot of painful rolling throughout this competition, it makes me wonder what Average rolling does. ^^;
00:42
Narrator: It was not.
Jokes aside Steve had some truly heinous rolls this season.
Steve needs to bring his own dice.
Flesh mower go brawnananabreee splat 🤣

Would love to know how Tycho created that goopy glow effect on his bases for his DG army.
Woodland Scenics Water Effects + Vallejo Mecha Yellow Fluorescent + Vallejo Mecha Green Fluorescent
I think "Kaboom" Nick Froese suits Nick extremely well.
Could there be more of a stealth vibe in the next army fight? I love seeing commandos and stealth squads change the game suddenly
I love watching these but can you do more of the races we dont see as often? tyranids, dark eldar, astra militarium, custodes.
Hope for Tau next season. 😉
It’s soo good
Great game guys
Guys, you've got to do something about those dice of yours...
16:55 - i didnt know you could do that!
If it's breachable then yes. I don't know if you can go inside these buildings tho.
I think I would like to see GW introduce fixed charge distances for different units/unit types (e.g. infantary get 6 inches, exemptions being terminators get 4" or death company get 9" - something like that). For me it would add a bit more focus on positioning and if you want crazy units that can charge across the field then you have to pay for the points to do it.

Do you guys sell the dice tray?

I did. Lots of small, ultimately inconsequential get cut out in order to bring the video down to 45 mine or so!
