49:50 Once again TT shows the epitome of sporting behaviour: Chef reminding Spider that his Librarian's Precision ability can be utilised after the number of wounds is known 👏
Might be late to the news here but just seen that you hit 200k subs. Congrats, long live the memory of thw kitchen!
Thanks mate! Been nearly 10 years now! Crazy! ❤️🕷️
@@tabletoptactics Not sure I wanted to know that...😂👴
🤣😜
@@tabletoptactics at this point im am certain yall have memorized all of youre fans from the beggining
I think you should write your own FAQ. I recon a lot of people would use it.
If you do, you should call it the "Chef AQ" !
This 100%!
Yes please, do this.
Watching Chef and Spider go at it is a true clash of the titans(lol), and a tactical masterclass for their armies (pity they don't play my chosen forces).
As a GK and Necron player it doesnt get better than watching my armies being played by two skilled players! This was epic!!
Can I ask which do you recommend starting? I'm new to the game and interested in both armies for first army
@@collincarlson3932 I would suggest Necrons. They have a good modern range of models, a few different players styles and showcase all 40k elements. GK are an elite army with an old model range and quite a high skill army that takes a lot to learn.
As a movement shenanigans enjoyer I don't know who to root for! May the cheesiest win!
Grey knights don't get a whole lot of love, much less a whole lot of wins, so seeing them get more matches is everything to me rn
Great game and video as always. Chef’s Blues Brother reference was A++++
Should have shouted KAMEHAHMEHA when you had the three vortexes of doom going into the destroyers.
I am always pleased that you guys know to make good television with polite conduct at the table
What a great and interesting game. Everyone being so mobile was really interesting. As always, a fantastic battle report and an awesome match to start up the semi-finals!
Oh boy! This is exciting
Brilliant game guys! Really enjoyed that.
always enjoy watching everyone in league battles, battle reports, and narrative battles cuz its awesome seeing the funny shenanigans an just seeing everyone have fun keep up the good work ^^
Best battle reports ..close up of the action not just a top down of some dice rolling !! ....and georgeous figures ! ....you paint them all yourselves! ?😲🙏
Great report! 🤗 Love that the both of you reason and disclose your train of though.
Fun game, good showcasing for each army. I personally prefer Canoptek Court, with Szeras and a CTan. Szeras' aura and rerolls with the tesla immortals, or even gauss immortals is so good. Szeras is basically a CTan, but gets rerolls and can be protected by strats. Wraiths get rerolls and infiltrate, plus the movement strat is really good with them. Doomstalkers with rerolls and a spyder for the FNP. Some heavy Lokhusts to pop vehicles/monsters. Maybe Hypercrypt is stronger/more competitive, but I just love rolling dice and the court gives so many rerolls.
This looks like an epic battle to write about or see animated or something. Two armies chasing each other by teleporting through time and space (or tumbling through the warp)
40:30 the overlapping audio is really difficult to hear, accidental editing mishap?
Very strange, must have been a Nurgling in the machine 😅 Fortunately only for a few seconds 🙂 -Chef
27:30 My boy crowe negates the first dice's worth of damage to 0
Ahh forgot about that. Good thing it made zero difference 🙂 -Chef
ngl, that Grey Knights army looks like a really fun list to run
Looks like a nightmare to play against. Grey Knights Broken
@@bradleygunther5722 GK are not broken. They have one play style which is thematic and requires incredibly high skill to pull off. It can be countered.
If they were broken you’d see them at every top table like Necrons, Aeldari, Sisters, CSM etc.
Thanks for the show as always
Great game, lads!
Glorious grey bois vs shiny Space Marines: what better way to start a Saturday? :D
Callidus Assassin has always strikes first. Should have attacked before the Wraiths.
Good catch (should've learnt Spiders rules better haha!). She might've even taken out a Wraith if she got lucky 🙂 -Chef
There's so much good fun between friends here. A great game to watch :)
Nice blues Brothers reference chef
Great game gentleman. Love seeing the grey knights in action, I’ve been looking into getting their combat patrol box as my first army.
Congrats on 200k legends well done
That, my dear sirs, was AWESOME !
AMAZING GAME
Thank you for playing GK, I am learning a ton right now.
Gg awesome game. Edge of my seat!!😅
Such a great game!!!!! TT the GOATS!
What colours are used for that Ceramic effect on the Wraiths? I love it!
Shiny movement jank. Nice!
Thank you.
Those Wraiths need to be rebased onto 50mm
Great Batrep! GK are one of my favourite armies at the moment! Deep strike does count as a normal move however so you can use mists to get away from it!
The Designers Commentary explicitly states units arriving from Deep Strike cannot trigger abilities and Stratagems that are used after a unit makes a Normal Move 🙂 -Chef
@@tabletoptactics I’ll get back in my box 😂 this ‘simplified’ edition really isn’t that simple 😂
nice terrain and nice backdrop display. had the same problem of the carpenters laying the LED strips leaning towards the insides and turns out the miniatures displayed look really dark. was it on purpose for studio recording purposes?
Good game, gents!
Watching this whilst I'm painting my void dragon 😁😁
I'd really love to know what model kit the hammer the overlord has is from?
I am once again requesting the paint recipe for those grey knights nemesis force weapons!!
Could go either way on football kicking. In a way, you cede control of the objective by leaving. If you sticky it, it would be different.
Those Pesky 9” charges are trouble to rely on. Too many times has it let me down
Dice fight!
Did you forget the Callidus Assassin has fights first?
Yup. Unlikely it would've made much of a difference though 🙂 -Chef
Great game again from both of you!
Hope you have time and intrest to participate to some tournaments in future. Im sure you shall prosper if you do👍🏻
Where does it say the purifier squad can shoot all their weapon profiles? I thought only monsters and vehicles could do that
Do all the wraiths have the vicious claws only if they're damage 2? Are the whip coils just decorative?
Just decorative 🙂 -Chef
Cheers Jeff 🫡 I'm a new necron player and trying to steal ideas
I'm saving money to start my first army and games such as this tempt my financial stability as much as antwyr...
At 46:06, you guys bring up activating Canoptek Protocols for an additional FNP 4+ - I’m unfamiliar with this, where does that come from?
It's a made up rule to wind Spider up 😅 -Chef
Go Sons of Titan
this terrain looks epic but does this setup favor shooting armies or its as good as completive as good looking?
Well balance it for both. All of the scenery blocks also count as LOS blocking, so it’s a pretty competitive setup too.
Cheers to the everlasting fallacy of the Necron spirit 🍻🐄
As for GK, clean your suits, you muddled sticks.
the callidus strike first/precision might have taken that sneaky technomancer
Ahhh we completely forgot about Strike First 🤦♂️. Though if we'd remembered, I'd have just had the Technomancer 100% behind the ruin footprint and thus out of LOS, so Precision wouldn't have been usable -Chef
Turn 2 for necrons when they precisioned crowe: he reduces the damage to 0 for the first failed save each turn. (foresight of the prognosticars)
Yes we missed that, but it made no difference 🙂 -Chef
At leads Chef is shameless about his C'tan cheese 😂😂
As a C’tan aficionado (and Wraiths, and Destroyers, and Immortals) for many years already and in the Index, its great to see them have a day in the sun. It's less great to see them everywhere because they're just too efficient. Gotta own when they're too much though 😅 -Chef
Not 100% sure but it looked like necrons in round 4 deep struck onto objectives which I thought the mission rule didnt allow.
You can't deep strike onto Objectives in No Man's Land or your opponents Deployment Zone, but as the Objective was in mine, per the Scrambler Fields it was allowed. This was noted in a pop up on the top down view when it happened 🙂 -Chef
@tabletoptactics thanks for pointing that out I didn't see the note. Interesting.
46:05 What was Chef talking about here?
I'm winding Spider up with a made up rule 😅 -Chef
@@tabletoptactics You're so evil! 🤣🤣🤣
Not that it mattered, but just want to point out that you forgot to use Foresight of the Prognosticars on Crowe, meaning that the first time he would lose the 2 wounds, he would instead have received none. The Devil Crowe is on 3 wounds remaining, not 1 ;)
We did. Even more devilman than before! -Chef
For the GKs, that list cant be 2000pt, With that load out I am 20 pts over. Can some one explain?
Hahahahaha 😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smile's as you can tell its a little childish but i was going grey from the intro....
Wouldn't the TCtan still be able to move onto a objective? It doesn't go into Reserves or anything. It just teleports onto the objective?
Scrambler applies to Scout, Infiltrate, any Reserves, and any redeploys, which I'd argue the T C’tan counts as doing 🙂 -Chef
@@tabletoptactics
Fair enough. The Redeploy rule specifically says it happens before the game. And the TCtan ability also makes no mention of Redeploy.
Otherwise I've been doing it wrong all this time 😂
A fair point, though for what it's worth the Designer's Commentary also states that any unit repositioned counts as arriving from Reinforcements for rules purposes, so that also covers it 🙂 -Chef
Do Gray Knights not get oath of moment? that could have helped in the first round with the -1 to hit.
That's for Space Marines, GK get Teleport Assault 🙂
@@tabletoptactics ok thanks I just assumed all space marines got it.
@@jp847TECHNICALLY Grey Knights count as a different faction, despite clearly being Space Marines
I believe it is a hold over from when sisters, GK and inquisitor were different arms of the inquisition. I know that was the lore during 5th ed
@ochigdor Also in lore, they're Magnus's Soul Shard juiced (possibly geneseed as well) 'propaganda states made from Big E geneseed' by the Sigilites et others. Their lore has them not trained/brain-programmed like Astartes as they're focus-trained against daemonkind
Excuse me, you two are having too much fun. Don't you know this is serious business!?
Only 15 minutes in but aren't you pushing the objectives towards the opponents deployment zone in Servo Skulls? Not your own?
Correct, but given you don't score Turn 1 it's often better to pull the Objectives back so you aren't just giving them to your opponent to control early on
@@tabletoptactics I hadn't actually thought about doing that!
Deep stroke doesn’t trigger the mist? Why not
Mists is explicitly when a unit finishes a Normal Move, Advance or Fall Back within 9" of the unit, so by definition it can't as Deep Strikes have to be over 9" away. That and the latest Designer's Commentary says things like Deep Strike don't count as Normal Moves for abilities such as Mists 🙂 -Chef
Trying to work out Lawrence's list and he seems 200 points short based on his breakdown at the start of the game. Did he accidentally play 1800 vs 2000?

@@tabletoptactics Ah, I see my mistake. I took 4 Characters and only 3 Terminator Squads. That ones on me ;)
FIGHT!
Not gonna lie, i think you missed callidus had fights first. But it wouldnt make a huge difference anyway
You're not lying, you're correct. It was missed, and wouldn't have made a huge difference 😅 -Chef
sad the list and point values don't match for the spider
This was shot before they changed the points values of the Grey Knights in the last MFM :)
First to the fight
For the right and defend the Emperor's might, and the Grey Knights go matching alonggg
When you roll a 1 on vortex of doom you do not get feel no pain against it becouse its not an attack. Sanctic hood only works against psychic attacks and this is same with Typhus ability.
Per the Designers Commentary, any wounds inflicted by a Psychic Ability counts as a Psychic Attack 🙂
@@tabletoptactics Hatchi machi, some judge during a big tournament I went to really had it wrong then.
Man I'm dying waiting for the Troll Hoard game promised by Val!
Let's go grey knights!also st 1:40 chef said the necron overlord got cover from the psycannon but the psycannon should ignore cover. It's OK chef I forgive you :D
You're thinking of a Heavy Psycannon on a Dreadknight. The normal Psycannon didn't change in the Dataslate 😅 -Chef
Ahhh I redact my pervious statement. Ty sir
Comment
First turn of the Necrons, the Strike Squad would have only saved on 4s, because only one got cover, and Lawrence specifically did not save with him.
Strike Squads have a 2+ Sv, and Spider used Truesilver Armour, reducing the AP-2 to AP-1, thus 3+ Svs 🙂
@@tabletoptactics My mistake then! i thought Strike Squads have the normal 3+ power armor save!
@@Tobi13131all Grey knights have a +2 save
So there's only five of you, but you ended up in the "semifinals". Play more factions, damnit!
There were 6 players in this Season. As for playing more Factions, not sure how we could do that. We can't clone ourselves...yet 😅
New idea. You can play other armies with alter egos.
@@tabletoptactics play two different armies each, though when you play your second army you have a wear a hat and roll wrong handed!
No need to watch the finals. They have crushed every other army they fought, and I don't see that changing. Thanks for saving me the time.
Thanks for not spoiling it for everyone else at least 🙂
No one likes a complainer 🙄
@@tabletoptactics Ok, thx for reminding me. Knew I forgot something.
@@KhanTotalGaming99 Well pot hate to have to inform you, but you are in fact black as well.
Semi finals already? hardly worth it haha
Just for our in house tournament. Our community League runs the rest of the year :)
34:50 the callidus assassin has fight first and shouldve ... fought first :D
Can't remember all of Spiders rules 😅 -Chef
Chef’s rolling is sometimes so atrocious…
Thanks for the video. Looking forward to Fletcher painting up a female custodes!
