- Nick's T'au battle Tak's Ultramarines but there is a twist courtesy of Child of Chaos Tycho and JT. How will Tak and Nick react? Will they work together against a common threat or try to turn the monsters on each other? So much fun we could not fit it in the 40-minute format.

I love how the most diverse and accepting race/army decided to immediately open fire on a bug that was being nice 😂
And xenophobic Ultramarines decided to just leave all-eating horrors to do what they please.
Have you seen the poor hammer co op thing? I’m liking how the recently everyone is trying to do more lore type games where there’s always a 3rd party that just shows up to throw a wrench in everyone’s plans- I hope we get to see more stuff like this
Yes! I think the co-op game mode would really suit Play On's style of gameplay really well
I was about to comment this! seems like it would be a very cool video
This please
Wait until they do a 4th party.

Nick: "So I started blasting"
"You are too near my egg" just killed me for some reason.
Tau vs ultramarines vs... imperial guard strugling with deciding about continuing under the empire or joining the promising greater good, but eventually rebelling against both two because what they actually want is being capable of getting some decissions by themselves and THIS IS NOT A PHASE, MOM! THIS IS WHO I REALLY AM!
Could be ultramarines vs tau vs death guard would be good
My guy, do you not see the weird chaos thing in the center.
im 90% sure it's the ravaged star bugs as tyranids
Haha love it! Like the guardsmen start as college students and all they learn is how great the Tau are, but then get actual life experience and say F you both?
I love this comment, it manages to please the T'au fan in me and still criticize the faction thanks to the emo phase joke.
I feel his pain 30 dice and hit one. “Why are we still here just to suffer”.
Ah yes, the Tau are here on request of the Demiurg (the Tau name for the Votann) looking for alien Eggs.
Where have I heard this story before?
ROCK AND STONE
To the bone
50:38 - The perfect example of dice tell stories. The pure shock and laughter of Nick made my day 😊
I'm imagining that guy was dragged off the field and was the declared by Tau propaganda as the hero of the battle that singlehandedly saved Shadowsun and Farsight by dragging them and the rest of the battered army off the field.
Another glorious "victory" for the Tau.
Absolutely brilliant, I want tyranids to show up every game. I love the variation and tactical manoeuvring this added and would love something like this again
Tyranids, Cultists, Daemons, all would be fun.
Or orks.
Imagine a seemingly normal game when all of a sudden a new player gets to the table with the Tyranid army and now, still with the same objectives and victory conditions, the two players have to deal with the Tyranids who just want to ravage and kill everyone
Watching Tycho just go full goblin mode and fucking up all the plans was such a fun mixup.
"I've run a more list this time" as camera pans over 3 redemptors and 2 repulsors absolutely killed me
Love the special scenarios! Have yall considered trying poorhamers new Horde mode? A co-op version of the game meant to go against an endless number of baddies from any faction
Love the battle report, the concept seems very fun and I'd love to try something like it.
I also want to give props for the music, it's something you do every report but is very rarely talked about. It gives so much life and energy to the report.
I love these fun game concepts to really shake up gameplay; this game reminds me of the tyranid survival mission video you guys did from 9th edition (probably my favorite video of yours). Keep 'em coming and play on!
That needed to be a little more balanced, but it was really fun conceptually. A lot of 40k games play out very similarly and it makes the games feel a little rigid and samey, so something like 2k of Ultramarines vs 4k of Tyranids, but the Tyranids can only deploy 1000 pts per turn and have to either kill all the Ultramarine units or capture 1 objective in the Ultramarine Home area (no Deep Striking or similar) in 5 turns.
The RNG storytelling in this campaign narrative is so awesome, I can actually feel the air thicken the moment Tak is prepared to make his betrayal. Very well done, must be one Play On greatest if not the greatest campaign ever hosted!
Really well done. I like the gradual escalation of Tycho's swarm. They didn't know how much trouble they were in until it was really on the board and overwhelming things. Very thematic.
Face hurting from smiling for an hour and 7 minutes and not even mad about it
This comment put a smile on our faces
The jaws drop at double 6s lol. Awesome
That was utterly fun setup... Tycho's entrance was extra funny
You guys should do stuff like this more often!
I am loving the Ravaged Star campaign and being able to suggest rules and seeing the adjustment of the game play out has just been fantastic. JT You are correct, the Immari are the best. ;)
It's fast pace, and simple rules makes RS really accessible.
Go Ultramarines.
NOOOO, TYCHO'S EGG!
i have missed a bunch of these episodes recently due to a hospitalization, and dang have i missed some great games! 10/10 like always crew! i love this format! maybe J.T. and some spooky elves poping out of buildings? or maybe some nightlords?
Nick i watch this channel solely for your Tau play......... but these rolls!!
Excellent! I hope we get to see more games like this!
This was enjoyable to watch. Very interested in getting into Warhammer and playing concepts like this. Good camaraderie and sportsmanship. Looks like so much fun
I really enjoy the 3rd faction showing up. As someone who plays TTPRGs, it's always fun to see more casual, narrative-focused games that mix up the usual.
This was the most enjoyable battle report I've seen in a long time. Adding Tycho to the mix prevented the outcome from being a foregone conclusion at the end of Round 2. Normally I prefer the 40-45 minute batreps, but this one was so much fun I didn't even notice the extra few minutes! More like this please! This is what Warhammer 40K was intended to be!
Amazing Game Play On! Would love to see more games with a 3rd player. Well played and entertaining game. A nail biter right to the end!
that one intercessor getting pummelled was so funny, like imagine everyone around you dying and then 3 missiles blow up next to you and your just there like: "first time?"
What a great game. A very fun scenario.
Love the different gameplay style!
Looked like you guys had lots of fun this episode. Keep up the with great work everyone!
Really cool to see Suppressors! And here’s hoping that Brutalis actually does something this time🤞
tycho is such a true chaotic neutral/good energy hahaha
Nah but this was so much fun, and Tycho hamming it up with the bugs was perfect as a 3rd party.
Love the 3 team concept
I think about halfway through I imagined what if it was Tau vs Tyranid and Space Marines had assembled an ambush to take out both
I wonder what alliances might for if you guys do this again!
Loved the video. Would like to see something similar but perhaps with necrons being awoken
50:30 That moment right there brings back a lot of memories. My brother vs one of his friend's at my cousin's place. Imperial Guard vs Space Marines. 3rd edition.
My brother controlling his Cadian troops. The conscripts, their morale questionable, were sent forward first. They get slammed into by the Terminators. It's a slaughter. Limbs flying off, heads pounded to paste, and bodies shredded.
The conscripts with low morale have to roll two 1s on a 2d6 to not flee in terror as they were cut in half. Knowing their comrades were behind them and they would be vulnerable to storm bolter fire without a screening force, they hold their ground even without a commissar to inspire them.
Next turn. The same story. Powerfists flying, torsos pulverized, and bayonets shattered harmlessly on Dreadnaught Terminator plate. They are cut in half a second time. At this point, no one would be angry if they broke and fled. They did their duty. They had bought time. Precious time. The Emperor was already smiling on them...
AND THEY HELD. Snake eyes on a 2d6, twice in a row. If the Emperor's Angels had betrayed them, then they would go to the Emperor PERSONALLY and ask him why. They died in glory. Dying to the last man, they held long enough for the rest of the army to chase off the Space Marines.
NEVER underestimate the Guard.
That was the best battle I have ever seen. Great job guys.
Tak had a great list this time! Good to see him doing great with some very solid units.
I like these more different, one-off type games! Tyco is so fun to watch!
As someone painting my tau as ultramarines i see this fight as a absolute win.
Always enjoy seeing your team put an interesting twist on this game, i hope you do stuff like this more often. Amazing videos as always
Amazing game, the alliances and betrayals… so fun!
Tycho always gets way too excited for chaotic gameplay 🤣🤣
To be fair to Nick, in this universe if you see a vaugly Tyrranid looking creature, its probably safe to shoot first and assume that it's just a new Tyrranid strain.
Yeah I’d rather take down as many bugs before they come and maul me unexpectedly
I love the short guest appearance by the suppressors! I haven’t enjoyed a batrep this much in forever! More games like this please!
The lone Tau surviving a mauling by pure, miracle-level chance looking like a hero only to be completely frozen in fear is oddly realistic.
This is literally the reason I started this hobby
Tycho was great in this one
I am loving those ravaged star minis. Great job guys.
This was a really fun one. Great concept and well played.
That was a fun watch. Those dice rolls, ouch. Awesome video keep up the amazing work.
Loved this 3-way play. More scenarios like this please.
I think this is the calmest episode that Tycho has been in lol
Narrative intrigue and betrayal. LOVE it
So glad to see a game with Ravaged Star! Those miniatured are absolutely beautiful, would love to include some for my Tyranid army. Love these thematic games as well, really makes it a lot of fun and essentially very accurate to the lore. I imagine a band of Nova marines on the Eastern Fringe trying to deter a Tau campaign only to be beset on all sides by Behemoth or Kraken.
Really fun way to let the imagination flow 😊
This was really good watch, thanks :)
More of thessee! This was really fun to watch ❤❤❤
That was a great match! Super fun to watch.
Such a fun game to watch, especially the additional tactics, FORCING the truce in turn 4 was beautiful, reminds me of necrons teaming up with blood angels
Glad to learn of Ravaged Star! Thanks! Definitely going to pledge and grab a few boxes. Mighty fine minis I can use interchangeably with both RS and 40k. Looking forward to painting!
Space marines cleaning up a fish tank.
Hey, Sarge! We've got us sum' funky bugs growing in the tank, too? What'shu want to do with'em?
Love those original concepts !!! :)
That was incredible to watch. Very fun
This has been a ton of fun to watch.
As usual, incredible production quality video and a great game that was lots of fun to watch. Thanks! I love these mp games. I've written a ruleset for a 3-4 player free-for-all that still allows for players to play points or to kill everything. It's soo much fun watching players negotiate and team up (players have the ability to gift their CP), then turn on each other as they realise the other is starting to get ahead on points or becoming a threat. Adding that extra layer of political intrigue makes for a super fun 'friendly' game.
P.S. all of those paint jobs look sensational.
This is a pretty amazing and ever first time to see and experience what warhammer 40k is like
An idea i have for a surprise three way game would be two armies are trying to turn off generators powering a noctilith crown.
except when they do they discover the generators were actually powering a dampening field and the evil stargate starts spewing out daemons, chaos marines, maybe even knights.
feel free to run with that idea to make it work if you like.
PlayOn… you guys produce in my opinion the best gameplay content in the world!! For someone that only paints (which I love) I have no one near me to actually play. You guys fill that void!! Thank you 🙏
Awesome three-way battle report!!
The match was fun, but watching you guys play was a joy!
I loved this match. More fun with the twist
34:25, that math is perfect. The rounds penetrated the first bug and hit the second one.
It was painful to watch Nick's first turn, damn! Couldn't catch a break on those dice :S
These dice are loaded for the stories I’m convinced. No one can have that bad of dice luck. 🍀
That was an amazing match. A very fun watch
So funny idea! i love this kind of battle report! thks to the team.
"Time for the wet willy of doom"
Always the most wholesome nerdy content to grace my CZcams account! :)
Im a have to rewatch this from the start
Tycho is so weird I love it lol. Also what a great game, not one player was playing the game in the same way in terms of scoring points!
That 3rd player was soooo coool plot and game twist! This should be official :D
The Ta'u honouring the truce to defeat a common enemy and the Ultramarines betraying that truce at the first possible moment to regain tactical supremacy is the most meta thing in the BR 😂😂😂
This looks fun as heck
A nail biter 'til the end! Great game.
Those nyds look very similar to the Star Craft II zergs. Such good memories!
Nick should paint the the face of the dice who has a "1" with a "6" and vice-versa. Should improve a lot his chances to win.
Tak:"Until turn five" ROFLROFLROFL
If they sold a play on tabletop brand coffee and advertised it as "It's what Nick drinks to be like that" I'd buy 10Kg
Great Game!!
excellent match 😂 more of these please...
woaaaah and rtycho being chaotic neutral again :D great move to make the battlefield smaller
hillarious vid!
Phew, those dice! Helluva story!
This was a lot of fun
50:39 best face 😂
Oh, yes. Ravaged Star, I love it though I cannot play it but I love it nonetheless.
Great battle report, particularly the twist :)
I think with space marine armour being so good Tau need to add in a bit more anti tank. Although crisis suits are necessary, a single coldstar with 6 crisis suits makes a very fast moving firepower unit, even a coldstar with just 3 crisis suits adds a great tool to the toolkit. Interesting the coldstar with crisis suits would have helped more with the secondaries (BEL) in this battle, while the anti tank was really needed to help kill the marine tanks.
the models are just gorgous
Paint jobs are incredible. Wow.
Thank you! Glad you like them
For the Tak the alliance the ended when Tyco took out the near flank objective, not when he shot. Whomever was the first player to blink and spend the bulk of a shooting phase on taking out Tyco/protecting center objectives was going to be taking their opponents next shooting phase on the chin.
