Heya guys, wondered if I could get some Necron tips from Michael?
Building my Necrons from the indomitus boxset would he suggest Flayers or Gauss reapers for the Necron warriors?
Necrons: "You are surrounded!"
Custodian Dreadnought: "All im surrounded by is FEAR, and DEAD, MEN."
"If you don't give your unit's an opportunity to do cool things, they never will." - Nick
100% agree. Do the Cool Thing, even if it's not the most optimal. It's just more fun that way!
One of the reasons I like watching reports that have Nick playing. He doesn't always make the right call, but he always makes the FUN call. It's a good reminder that it's just a game! If you're not having fun, why play?
@@Chakfor Exactly!
Yes I want to play how I think my ultramarines fight in lore like the books I read 15 years ago.
It took me a solid nine minutes to realize that the "turn him into socks" taunt was referring to the Flayed Ones.
It's my go to taunt
Necrons: There's no way for them to win now.
Dreadnaught: and I took that personally
tabling should be auto loss
Oh that map/terrain overview graphic was super clear and well done. Big kudos to the team for that.
I think the thing I love most about this channel is that, whilst everyone plays by the rules, they also remember that it’s ultimately a game and sometimes making nonsensical decisions because it’s cool is the best play 👌🏻
Been playing a lot of 500pts as a beginner, and have to say been loving using Rough Riders as Astra Militarum. Not a lot of people expect melee Guard
Man, that Dreadnaught did work.
Too bad Nick didn't utilize it until round 3.
All I can imagine is the Optimus Prime “I’ll take you all on” scene that’s been floating around CZcams when that Dreadnought proceeded to show the Necrons how it’s done in the 41st millennium.
lmao its pretty much EXACTLY what he did.
Still loses though.
@@sad-rv8om yup
I love the quoting of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Brave brave Sir Robin
I try whenever possible to drop quotes in my games as little Easter eggs.
Love the coliseum! You can run, but you cannot hide, high impact, high action!
Michael is such a treat to see in any battle reports you guys have him involved with. Socks and toques for everyone!
That Dread was listening to free bird for the second half of the game
That's probably the coolest and best game result possible.
Both players won that.
Beautiful production. Nick and Michael are always fun to watch - energetic and competitive till the end. The editing is top notch. Great cuts. I hope lots of other channel manage to adapt a similar editing style. You are pioneers.
I enjoy the format. Smaller skirmishes make every model valuable. Since dice tell stories, I say this is format would fit a narrative campaign centered on kill team esque characters very well. Would fit your editing style also. I see movie potential here.
Love you guys' work.
This is how my first game with my achillus went everything else died and he dueled a norn emissary and won.
Should have brought a Skorpek Lord. Even in his own hes an absolute BEAST. Well worth his points!
I was debating it! I decided lethal hits would be better but it was a tough decision.
interesting alternative to Kill Team / Combat Patrol. I would like to see some Kill Team Matches and some Old World Fantasy if you guys are up for filiming some! Onepage rules too
Nice! This has been an awesome series on Patreon. Really makes me rethink the responsibilities of different 40k formats.
Dreadnought - “None of you seem to understand. I’m not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with me!”
Honestly combat patrol and 500-750pt games are my favorite way to play 40k. Forget 2k points with everything always getting cheaper in points.
Unstoppable object vs Immovable force
"The Face" Michael vs "Turning Heels" Nick who will be the King of Arena?!
hey Michael if you're reading this just wanted to say I like your necrons and you're lookin pretty sharp
Thanks Man!
I like to think at the end the ground of the arena erupts as tons of flayed ones just crawl out swarming the entire place
cool format! i like it!
Thank you so much for the "brave sir robin" reference from Monty python and the holy grail 😂
as a custodes player who plays them for the fantasy of the power of an entire army existing in and represented by a few mere humans, i don’t have a single forge world model in my army. but this dreadnought right here was absolutely inspiring, that might have to change…
Forgeworld is necessary for stodes to be competitive. Don’t buy them from official websites though.
@@adamwegner2520 idek where to buy em highkey i googled “forge world. achillus dreadnought.” and. nothing yet
@@adamwegner2520 printing and recast go hard
Those sisters were brave AF !!!
God, I love Necrons
This was such a fun concept
Where'd you guys get the terrain set from? I would love to get one.
I like that Michael has a necrodermis left thumb these days :)
That Achillus was peak custodes lmao great game
This tiny format seems pretty fun with the restrictions you have. Definitely will give this a shot.
Nick has all my love for joining me in collecting Custodes in spite of how hot garbage their rules are right now.
Great map, great players, thanks so much, guys!
Interesting to watch 👍👍
Always killing it here love the channel an the work you guys do an the few of you I’ve met in person have been absolute riot to play with 🎉 custodes seem a bit lack luster now ; also doesn’t help Nick rolled like poo poo . Was like my last game had 10 man Dc with lemartes miss 75% of there hits 😂 dice gods
Love your background music
Thanks for the video
lol love watching your vids guys! Nick was killing me not dedicating the Dreadnought earlier in the match though 😣
This was enjoyable to watch. I wonder if you guys would be open to do a kill team game.
Nick’s dice roll is iconic lol
Nice game Ireally enjoy this game mode !
okay. first: i need a dreadnaught for my custodes army.
second: name that dredy:SANTODES, bc this last stand was glorious like santodes!
"Did you do it?"
Necrons: "....yes...."
"....what did it cost?"
Necrons: "..... Everything..."
We will be back!
@@michaelbuckthorp977 "no matter how much the wind howls... the Mountain, still stands!" ^_^
Oh Custodes, such an awesome game! I'd love to see a rematch with however many dreadnoughts you can squeeze into 500pts re-vs the same force of Necrons LOL
Goes into Play on tabletop archives: Wow it was 4 years ago! I still think about how brutal that Custodes vs Tzeentch 1500pts Championship game was; so many mortally wounded Custodes ;(
9.05 . Spat my Juoce out . Such a Underated Player . Plus sooo funny 🤣🤣🤣
I know this is TOTALLY out of left field and probably no one will get it, but the music playing during deployment sounds a bit like "Emperor Awesome's" theme song from "Wander over Yonder"... 😂😅
Would love to see iron warriors on the table top or emperors children
we need more episodes of arena
The whole game: 'emperor's finest, emperor's champion' =)
That Dreadnought did WORK
Every video that Nick is in, he improves.
Love that guy!
Man, was Steve cosplaying as Nick this game cause some of those rolls were BRUTALLY bad.
You guys ever gonna do an Iron Warriors 40K in 40M? Would be super cool!
Damn, this is really interesting! Way bettere than current Combat Patrol.
May I know what's the radius of the coliseum walls? Even better, may I know where you got those walls? Definitely planning on trying it out. :D
On the regular, what counts more: Wiping the board or point advantage? (I am new to the tabletop game)
Watching the light slowly fade from Nick's eyes this game was so incredibly painful because as somebody who has just started playing custodes within the past couple months against only my friend with a ridiculous amount of Tyranids is excruciating
They're really an army built for 2k points. At 500 pts like this, they just can't be everywhere and do enough compared to other armies, unless they go mostly SoS.
Man Nick me and the custodes boys must have gotten ya interested at adepticon this year
Perhaps!
Necrons are cool
11th day of asking for Grey Knights in 40k in 40m.
Hey all, where do you get the objective cards they use for tactical objectives?
Would you share the dimensions of the map and the gab between both deployment zones? Or did I miss these?
Ok, at 10:40 (asking because I have not played before, I am still working on turning my massive built grey pile of shame into at the very least "battle ready" models..or at least 1k points for starters): Would it not have made sense to let the character die there, since it was on Nick's own turn and his opponent had a chance to pull the "Assassination" objective next turn, netting him secondaries for killing the now-1-wound exposed character..? She does not hold the objective, she does not get a turn, and at most gets to fight first on next combat (iirc the opponent fights first in continued combat?), maybe removing 1 or 2 models depending on how strong a character she is... I suppose it used up one of the opponent's attacks... Hm. Ngl, no idea whether that or the chance of the opponent scoring Assassination and using a CP was more worthwhile here. I really want to start playing. If only I could decide on the two colour schemes I have been testing (or whether I should just go Leviathan) so I can go ahead and paint more than the 10x Termagant, 10x Hormagant, 5x Barbgaunt and 3x Spore mines I have finished so far. Hrnng...
The Custodes are the only factions to have more models sold than units in the lore.
Knights and Chaos Knights might be runner ups for that statistic.
@@thomashowe1583 oh, that’s true! You might be right, actually.
Nick is the best. always here for a good time not a W.
That said, you can't 'win' if you dont exist Xenos scum. Nice table/victory.
This is cool but Kill Team when?
It takes BALLS to play custodes in this format!
What is the size of the Coliseum board?
Where does one get that terrain set?
Can anyone tell me what shirt brand Michael is wearing. I've never seen that elk/deer logo on a polo before.
Thank you very much.
No clue
10th day of asking for Grey Knights in 40k in 40m
What cards are you guys using for the stratagems ?? Leviathan?
What are the dimensions of the board? We want to play coliseum mode
You can find board dimensions and rules here on this page: playontabletop.com/king-of-the-colosseum-events/
Necrons necrons necrons!
Is the discardimg an unachieved side mission and gaining a CP a house rule? I can't find it in the main rules anywhere
It is part of the Leviathan Chapter Approved rules. If you have the Leviathan mission cards it would have been on the pamphlet in that set.
think green tide orks would win most of this format
How does a 6" move dreadnought catch a squad of destroyers?
These rules are way better than combat patrol.
Oh snap. Did someone finally beat Tak and his epic list?
Tak lost to Ork boys detachment.
Was a good match
@@damienmartin9579oh wow. Last I saw he was ripping through everyone. Must be the new orks everyone’s talking about?
Weird question but what happened to rhino?
All taken as they're free
Where is the custodians shield captain? I thought he had to have a commander, and that’s the only non-name commander they have.
Knight centura instead?
centura is a commander i believe
Weird how space marine sounds just like tau nick.... But with that many ones we all know that's Steve playing...
Please no spoilers in the comments… thanks.
@Play Tabletop thanks for these awesomely amazing video batreps !!! ❤
Blade champion isn’t a named character
That was so crazy! Surely wiping out your opponent should be an automatic win
It's better to be max points win even if the person getting more points got wiped. That allows for tactics to make up for bad match ups
"There's no time for wah wah booboo".
*Write that down, write that down!*
Just wish he used the dreadnaught sooner would have had a chance then
custodes vs admech
What is the table size used here?
It is a 36" by 36"
fresh paint syndrome
As much as i love watching your channel i would like to see more people playing. as much as i like the ones who come at playon, it would be fun to see more new faces.
Im guessing you are looking for more but maybe its hard to find in some way, maybe beacuse of time or some other reason. But back when you started you guys had alot more people coming to play so what happend?
We have guests on quite regularly. We do have our regulars. But in the past year we’ve had dozens of guests come and play at our studio. We try to mix it up the best we can.
@@PlayOnTabletop i know you do you best, im not trying to put your work down in any way or form. I guess ny point was that im missing as diverse as you had before.
The work you guys are doing is herculean and enjoyable, that is something you should hear more
I dont understand had getting tabled doesnt give a massive amount of points
Dice are favored orange change my mind 😅
Great video but I always thought it was kind of dumb to draw objectives that are impossible to do on the first turn. I think you should be allowed to re-draw that.
Anti Custodes salt is salty.
Would guard just win due to total board control
Jeez why does nick even bother with taking a dreadnought in 500 points? Probably would've been better spent on more infantry.
Hello good fellas!
