Tycho is such a big hearted giant nerd. Exactly the type of guy you want to play a game with. Just pure fun. Not sure what his life is like, but damn I hope it’s all good for him. Dudes infectious with his passion for the game.
He's clearly been putting some effort into maintain that luxurious beard too. I'd tell him to use a little product but papa nurgle might nerf his die rolls so Imma just keep rooting for Tycho to be Tycho.
I fully agree with Tycho "I love loosing a game that was that close..." that is the most positive trait a competitive person can have. Amazing game guys!
The Kings of Resurrection versus The Unyielding Plagues of Mortarion. I can't wait for this! Let forth our sickening miasma! For our grandfather Nurgle!
This BatRep is a great example of why you should always play the game out and not rage because your opponent had a good turn or has a big lead. Mike went from joking about flipping the table to winning with points to spare. Also a great showing of how resilient Necrons can be.
@@EDarien man I hate spoilers as much as the next person but if you're scrolling down into youtube comments before you watch the video you're just asking for it hey
@@EDarien You know, I've been there so I get what you mean, but just like me, you've got a learn that if you check comments before finishing the video there will be spoilers. I'm sorry if you feel I ruined it for you. God bless.
Great game! Really enjoyed it. Note: by my count necrons roster is 2080 points. The canoptek spyder was left out of the list build but put on the table. It didn’t do much any ways but wanted to point it out.
Aww yis I've been dying for some Necron content, Michael is great to watch and added with Tycho, holy moly this is going to be a cracking match!! Hoping to see some Necron bouncy castle goodness! ^^
New favorite moment of the channel: Tycho making 19/21 3+ saves. Another reason he's my favorite general on the channel, when he rolls hot, it's always fun!
This is like my friends game I play necrons and he plays death guard it’s a battle of attrition and death. So much fun to watch love watching you both play!!
May have been pre dataslate or they forgot Mortarion's ignore modifier rule. Think DG may be one of the few armies that can reliably deal with C'Tan at their current point cost due to that alone.
"They call themselves the 'Death Guards' we shall teach them the origin of the Fear of Death" - the firepower and grinding power of Necron made even the undead of Nurgle squirmed
As a new comer to Warhammer and all it's intricacies, it's shines through how much Tycho is clearly there to have a blast with his army and his imagination, if he takes the win it's just a bonus. I hope to meet people like him as a further my journey into the world of Warhammer. A true motivator and role model for new comers like me and I'm sure veterans alike.
I have just started Warhammer and this is definitely one of my favourite channels!! I wonder if the Spaces Wolves will be making an appearance this season 😄
I don't know if it's been asked in the past... what's the music in the background? Feels very thematic, and as I play crusade with my son, it would be awesome to have access to this. Great battle.
Necrodermis specifies: " Each time an attack is allocated to this model, halve the Damage characteristic of that attack." Damage is halved AFTER the attack is allocated. So Mortarion's rule wouldn't apply. Wording is very confusing.
@@arn1345 I disagree, the wording "Damage characteristic of that attack" would be evidence that you DO ignore it. The wording of Mortarion's ability says "Ignore any or all modifiers to its characteristics." Additionally, according to the January 30th Rules Commentary under the section of "Ignoring Modifiers" it states "When an ability allows you to ignore modifiers to a unit’s or model’s characteristics, unless specifically stated otherwise, this allows you to ignore modifiers to the following characteristics: Move, Toughness, Save, Wounds, Leadership and Objective Control for the model(s), and Range, Attacks, Ballistic Skill, Weapon Skill, Strength, Armour Penetration and Damage for their weapons and attacks" It specifies it allows you to ignore damage modifiers.
@@atlas6538 yeah but because some goobers on the world's event judge team can't read and said it didn't work we had to wait 3 months for it to work as intended
Man, glad to see typhus does the same thing to me as he does to others. A while lotta not much. Good game, and wish we got more mortarion on ctan combat
I don't know when this was filmed. And I'm only 3 minutes in. But I'm pretty sure the dataslate and errata that came out January 2024 made it where Mortarion's rule about ignoring modifiers counts against the C'Tan "halving the damage characteristic" ability. So Morty, and any DG within 6" of him, does full damage at all times.
morty ignores modifiers in an aura. he should have focused on the ctan and just wiped them off the board. the plagueburst could have done some nasty overwatch if they had plague spewers and could have just indirect focused on the immortals to wipe them out. if you huddle the plagueburst around morty they also ignore modifiers to indirect. I also dont think Tycho picked an contagion like -1 to WP and BS and forgot the nurglings have an aura of -1 to hit which can make stuff in melee -2 to hit
@mischa3726 yeah it get even better. Imagen some custodes are about to charge your deathshrouds. You rapid ingress your nurglings behind them and suddenly the custodes are hitting on 4's
this channel has the best battle reports. Entertaining all the way through. Great commentary and charismatic players. Narrative campaigns with this format will be amazing.

Couldn't agree more!
I REALLY want to have a game against Tycho. It would be chaotic and wonderful.
Thanks! hope we can throw down sometime, i really got to get out to more tournaments
he truly embodies the outward expression of Nurgle.
Happiness and love for all beings
He's clearly been putting some effort into maintain that luxurious beard too. I'd tell him to use a little product but papa nurgle might nerf his die rolls so Imma just keep rooting for Tycho to be Tycho.
Such a fun game to play - Thank you again to Tycho, who makes every game a blast from start to finish!
Hopefully this game prompts you to bring the Nightbringer more 😅
That was a wicked list you commanded. Was it of your own persuasion or sort of a stock list? Cuz if it can get crazier, then🍻
Your Transcendant C’tan is absolutely awesome dude.
Damn, might need to invest in some Wraith and the transcendent
🥰
Michael gets rocked for half the game.
Also Michael, "I don't hear no bell."
I feel like its been so long since we've seen Necrons! Couldnt be more excited for this match!
me too, i´m a Necron player myself and a friend of mine is Deathguard sooo LETs GO ! !
Same!🎉
lets go Brandon!!!
😂 lmao most battlereport has either had nexrons or tyranids since 10th ed release.
Same bro, i love seeing Necrons represented on the channel. If I could afford it, Id fly over to be a regular necrons playwr
I like how Tycho tried to paint Nurgle as the good guy in this situation
That's so awesome🤘😈🤘
In the 40k universe, it is
Nurgle is all for hugs and getting along!
DG just wanna hug it out, bro.
Nurgle is always the good guy. The grandfather loves you.

Amazing game guys!
losing* :)
The validation of seeing someone else's Transcendant C'Tan standing crooked because irs so hard to keep it up straight is amaing. Great game guys!
Ah yes. Bulletproof reanimating skeleton men vs bulletproof meatballs full of

My goodness, did Michael paint those necron himself? Gorgeous army, hats off to the painter!
yes I did! Thanks so much!
They are even more amazing in person. Michael is a fantastic painter you should see his freehand sometime!
Tycho seems like such a genuinely fun dude. Love watching episodes with him
He is!
That 19 saves is f*cking crazy. That was an impossible roll but sometimes rolling anyway gets you an interesting story!

@@michaelbuckthorp977 That's me when I play my brother's Orks, I always forget how fast they are...Well played, nice comeback.
Tycho is the greatest gift of Grandfather Nurgle himself, such a wholesome player
Great game! Really enjoyed it.

Really hope to see deathguards vs thousand sons. Nurgle’s Tyco vs Tzeentch’s Mubin.
What a fight!
That first turn was scary effective for Tyco. Man, what a great game!!!!
Tycho managing to save his drone and Michael's reeee of anger was an absolute highlight....HAHAHAHAHA!
We need more necron battles, they are just so epic!!!
Aww yis I've been dying for some Necron content, Michael is great to watch and added with Tycho, holy moly this is going to be a cracking match!! Hoping to see some Necron bouncy castle goodness! ^^
Michael: Introduces the armies and players and why he's excited
Tycho: I GeT TO pLaY WArHAmMEr ToDAy!
🤣
Morty ignores the half damage
I noticed they forgot this too. It should also be added that it's mortarion and anyone within 6" of mortarion.
This was probably filmed before that errata was given
also why the hell was the doomstalker's overwatch not used on mortarion? Ass plays today.
@@paranelmanterlyzastratatum885 relax its not that competitive
Kind of ruins the game lmao
"Astral Claws Gladius Task Corce" on the Death Guard list overview made me chuckle. I have those days at work too.

That was an amazing game! Well played Tycho and Michael!
Damn that game was so close, great game gents
These battles are awesome and Tyco makes every battle a blast to watch.
Tycho is my fav, he is a big part of the reason I started Death Guard
For the Grandfather! Happy wargaming:)
This is like my friends game I play necrons and he plays death guard it’s a battle of attrition and death. So much fun to watch love watching you both play!!
This one’s up there with the 2v2 primarchs match for me. Michael and Tycho are both awesome, and that game was an absolute treat to watch.
Really good video, was easy to follow as a newbie! Thanks for making!
always fun watching your vids! love the necron content
Loved everything about this video!!! Keep up the great work :)
That was a fantastic game. You could see Tyko loosing hope there at the end, but he held strong
I love that Watson was back on the channel and he was kind enough to bring Michael
May have been pre dataslate or they forgot Mortarion's ignore modifier rule. Think DG may be one of the few armies that can reliably deal with C'Tan at their current point cost due to that alone.
Tycho is my spirit animal.
🤗
Tycho is such an amazing guy, I'd love to play against him
This format is how it's done!! Excellent content guys.
Anytime JT is the play by play and Tycho is on the field is a great game.
lmao at the lone poxwalker. POXWALKER! ;D
also love how we, as a society, have just collectively agreed to not decide on a pronounciation for c'tan
Tycho's enthusiasm while he plays is contagious (no pun intended).
"They call themselves the 'Death Guards' we shall teach them the origin of the Fear of Death" - the firepower and grinding power of Necron made even the undead of Nurgle squirmed
Chalk one up for the Tomb Worlds! Always love seeing Michael and Watson! And Tycho too

1:14 Hey, I didn't know Death Guard could run the Gladius Task Force detachment. That's kinda cool!
Such a heated battle! Keep it up. I love the Necrons, just bought them and im excited to start using them
Wow, the paint jobs on these are insanely cool and high quality!
Best matchup, more of Michael! get this man another army haha
YESSSSSH !! The best batreps on the tube !!! ❤❤❤
Here here!!!
That’s one gorgeously disgusting Death Guard army… how much do you want for it? Must… add… to… chaos… collection.
Sorry Dave but I cant do that
Dude! I just commented on the last match for these two to go head to head!! Bossssssss!!
This was a great game. Both players had good rounds, both players had some terrible rolls and some great ones. Well played.
Morty ignores that half dmg. Also I feel Tycho forgot about lethal hits on somethings.
I have just started Warhammer and this is definitely one of my favourite channels!! I wonder if the Spaces Wolves will be making an appearance this season 😄
stay tuned! good things incoming
Holy production values, Batman!
the beat by sulene was a fine addition to this video
I don't know if it's been asked in the past... what's the music in the background? Feels very thematic, and as I play crusade with my son, it would be awesome to have access to this.
Great battle.
This is the first ever warhammer 40K tabletop game I’ve watched and it was awesome!!!
Awesome match. Well done to both players
These are the best matches imo the ones that come down to the wire in points, both players did really well and fought tooth and nail for advantage
"Mortarion kinda pooped the bed there"
Well i guess Nurgle would be half disappointed and half proud 😂
My favorite part is the sad violins. I haven't finished watching the vid, but I can tell it's this already lol.
I hate to say it, but I love these games that are so close and so brutal! PLAY ON!
Never played a match but this looks fun.
i always like how friendly they are.
Once again you prove that the 40K in 40M format is the best 40K AAR series ever, thank you.
I don't care what anyone says, Tycho is the G.O.A.T. !!!!
😁
What an incredible game and phenomenal display of the Necron's regenerative power if they are allowed to stay on the board.
Love the matchup. Really makes me wanna start WH aswell🔥
Love seeing the undying vs death itself!
Morty has an aura of ignoring modifiers. Taking half damage is modifying the damage characteristics of his attacks, which he should have ignored!
Yeah I'm surprised they didn't catch that the lists seemed really lopsided too
Necrodermis specifies: " Each time an attack is allocated to this model, halve the Damage characteristic of that attack."
Damage is halved AFTER the attack is allocated. So Mortarion's rule wouldn't apply. Wording is very confusing.
Trajan has the same ability but it works for him he ignores the half damage so Mortarion should too.@@arn1345
@@arn1345 I disagree, the wording "Damage characteristic of that attack" would be evidence that you DO ignore it.

It specifies it allows you to ignore damage modifiers.
Yeah they literally specified almost this exact scenario it ignores it completely
Mortartion ignoring the half damage on the C’tan is like the perfect counter to them
too bad they didn't actually use that rule during the game :(
My guess is they recorded this before the balance patch
@@kalebreyman4149 mortarion always had this ability tho
@@atlas6538 yeah but because some goobers on the world's event judge team can't read and said it didn't work we had to wait 3 months for it to work as intended
It is! we filmed pre errata and were playing under a different ruling. Ill get him next time!
Tycho's the best he's like that one fun uncle that everybody in the family loves bc he jus does no wrong😂
Man, glad to see typhus does the same thing to me as he does to others. A while lotta not much. Good game, and wish we got more mortarion on ctan combat
Getting splatted by Watson was a fitting end I think..
Love the army overview in the beginning!
What a close good game! Loved every minute of this
Nurglings vs Scarab Swarms is the epic battle I wanted to see
I wish I saw more word bearer stuff or just armies that we dont normally see it would be cool.

cool, sounds like nasty combo :) @@RW-Navigator

currently I only play necrons but deathguard is def a contender if I ever play another army :) @@RW-Navigator
those two guys with those army are the best matchup possible to watch :)
Those Necrons are beautifully painted
Adds between every battle round is rough
What a twist! Great game guys, totally thought it was sealed by turn 2 haha.
Love the white on the teeth of that Deathshroud terminator's gut ( 0:57 ). Anyone know what paints or combination of paints/washes that is?
this channel has the best battle reports. Entertaining all the way through. Great commentary and charismatic players.
Narrative campaigns with this format will be amazing.
Even with the best strategies it all comes down to the dice cooperating. LOL
You know that CR was huge between 29:46 and 29:47 that Tycho himself had to take a break to get a haircut.
I mean, Nurgle getting 77 points just seems fitting ;)
Night bringer smighting Morty is peak army gameplay
Great game. Excellent maneuvering and positioning.
If I ever play 40k I would love to beat Tycho with Emperor's Children
I feel like every time Tycho plays he passes 90% of his saves
Great game. Sorry - where did Wattson get the FNP 6+? I'm a bit confused by this.
Tomb Spyder hanging out near by!
Love the background music. What is it?
