Thank you so much for having me on the channel, guys. I had so much fun.

“Who knew you were better as a sand bag then a human being” imperial guard captain

Nick's natural sociability and quirkiness really make him a great host, naturally Tanya was fantastic but I want to give props to Nick!

Can we talk about her beautiful paint scheme? It's clean and there's a lot of little details that bring the models alive.

"I really love tanks" Ah, I see you are a person of culture

Wow, good army. I kind of like how it's consistent and not overpainted.

Everyyyybody has a soft spot for the guard. They're the best.

Love the idea of using Skitarii Vanguard helmets on the guard. Really cool idea to make them look like a unique force!

Tanya's paint job is super clean, great army!

The Imperial military at 100% strenght: Space Marines, Sisters of battle, Custodes, Mechanicus, Titan Legions, Imperial Guard The Imperial military at 99%: The Imperial Guard

"That's from forgeworld"... I could see the urge to tell the story in Tanya's eyes :D Great video, love the crossover, love the army.

I wanna see Tau Nick vs Tanya.

I really hope we get see her in an episode.

"Rise, Guardsman. You saved yourselves -- We thought you dead."

Those happy Nick noises when Tanya mentioned explosions are adorable.

This was a fun video! Great to see the guard get some love.

"Play the units that you like." This is FANTASTIC advice.

Nick's hosting skills are on point. I'd love to see these two face off with a house rule for intentional explosion upon death.

This is a women of taste and class.

"Play the units you like" is such a great motto, and exactly why I bring my Baneblade regularly lmfao

wholesome! I remember my very first game was floor hammer against Imperial Guard and ill never forget it. Great stuff Tanya!

That paint job is fkn CLEAN, and throwing those vibrant colours on that neutral base makes them really pop, love it.

Now I want a game with Tau Nick vs Tanya. No Infantry will hit, everything will explode!

"Play the units that you like" Great advice. The game should be fun!

Awesome army awesome guest! Give Tanya a job!!! Pay double she’s awesome.

Beautifully and consistently painted, nice work!

Fantastic imperial guard army you have there. Looks good, nice variation of units. Bravo keep up the good work! :)

What an amazing force! I can always appreciate a fellow flashlight enthusiast

Brilliant looking army👍🏻👏

I love these army showcase videos. Everyone always brings such a fun energy, along with great models.

I love how this channel makes this potentially complicated, expensive hobby so much more accessible. I love showing videos to friends who are new to 40k, bc y'all are so friendly and welcoming here.

Awesome !!!

Awesome video, looking forward to seeing Tanya's battle report.

wow those colors are so clean looking and they really pop.

What a dope looking army. Good shit.

The world needs more people like Tanya Gates’

Woohoo I'm Early!! And yet another beautifully painted army. :')

That army looks amazing! Well done.

i love the paint scheme for these, they look so clean and crisp!

love the helmets, love the tiny tank, love Tanya! hope to see her on 40 in 40 soon! (also as soon as she said her other hobby was a sport I just KNEW it was roller derby - and i was right :p)

Really enjoyed seeing the War Mistress and her wonderfully-painted IG army! Looking forward to the battle against Steve on PLAY ON! 🤠👍

I finally got to see your IG army you talk about on the podcasts! So cool. I love hearing about peoples journey in the hobby.

Love the green tone on those models! Lovely army, thank you for showing it off!

Regarding having a soft spot for imperial guard, they are my favorite human faction due to the fact that they are just regular human beings. they dont have fancy genes or power armor and yet they fight all manner of nightmares you have to respect that

I like the fact that most of her Guardsmen have Skitarii Vanguard heads. Basic kit bashing but it works.

It allways bothers me when the minis are nicely painted but the weaponbarrel are closed, BUT Tanyas way of paiting those Laserdots is awesome. I also like the painting scheme of the Scions, just building mine and want to go with blue and white too.

Finally, someone who understands it's not Astra Milli-anything, it's The Guard!

Lovely format! Tanya seems very knowledgable and I am very much looking forward to see her play! Also props to Nick for a very charming interview.

Thorough, intuitive explanations from Tanya, and patient interviewing by Nick. Great video, friends

Seeing Imperial Guard triggers a fond memory from a bunch of years ago. 4th edition, I'm Tau and my opponent is Imp Guard. I deepstrike a 6 man stealth squad (3 fusion blasters, 3 burst cannons) right behind my opponents Basilisk on my first turn and obliterate it (the hilarious overkill that is melta on rear armour) and the explosion killed the mortar team beside it. This then provokes the infantry to start shooting at me - I vaguely remember stealth suits at the time counting as if they're at night, but I cannot for the life of me remember how that works but I remember how hard a time my opponent was having trying to hit these suits - they survived 2 turns before eventually dying to Ogryns in melee, but before their death were able to kill one whole squad of 20 guard and lightly wound the Ogryns before they were able to charge. They more than paid for themselves that day.

Awesome !! I love seing fellow guard player´s collections. This one looks classic but still unique!

Gotta get her on the channel more, I wanna see her fight some of the others.

As a Guard player this was a treat to see love this! And props to the amazing host Nick! Demand to see his MELEE tau more!

Great, clean, cohesive painting on the army and a really good chat!

What a beautiful army, the colors schemes is son clean that I could watch it for hours, good job 🤩

Awesome video, as always! Thanks for the upload and The Madame Warmistress was an AMAZING addition to the usual top notch content. Take care, everyone!

In my experience, women tend to gravitate towards nurgle, orks, and tyranids. Which I find fascinating and contradictory to what I would expect. Seeing Tanya's loving crafted imperial guard/astra militarium force, is very unique in my experience. Hearing her game knowledge. Learned over time was fantastic. Things like: "This unit was not considered very good but I liked it, and now it's good" (and she's even better at using it for all that play time when it was not as good) "Your guys die and are not very {killy}. You can win with only 3 things left on the table." This was a great interview for show casing the love of the hobby and the journey.

Like these little presentations of armies.Very natural.Just having fun with the hobby.PlayOn! Dudes cannot wait for the next 40k battlereport.

Awesome interview! Great looking Army. Looking forward to the battlereport.

that's a clean-looking army, damn! love that shade of green too!

Love these Army Showcases!

Great interview and great army. Loving the color scheme. Warm greens with that bold red accent. Beautiful Scions too.

Love that the BF Navigator character is being used in the army, such a splendid looking model!

Great color scheme! Thank you for sharing!!

That paintjob is super clean, super crisp, very satisfying to look at.

Guardsmen are the best unit in the Astra Militarum! Impressed by the pain jobs of her army. get her on some battle reports! Go Imperial Guard!

I love the paint job. Really clean and subtle

This army is LEGIT! Nice job building and painting it!

It’s great to see the guard on display. Looking forward to seeing them in action one day!

SCREW IT! You convinced me to pull the trigger on my Death Korps of Krieg army!

Good to see the cross-over. Lovely interview.

This was a very enjoyable video. I'd love to see more videos like this, one video for each faction? I like to see the personalities of certain people who play each faction. There's such variety of personalities in W40k :-)

Nice. I’ve been really tempted to start collecting some AM. I was thinking of kitbashing some modern armor with 40k weapons and motifs to make an “AM Rapid Reaction Force.”

Im LOVING this army!!!! Great work tanya!!! Oh man im excited to see more army showcases

I just want to say that her army is insanely well painted! good job.

So nice to see you Tanya. I’ve heard you on Forge the Narrative so many times, it’s nice to put a face to that voice. Great army! Well done.

Beautiful army A+. Just needs more infantry!!

Dope paint job. Love the classic look

1: I just love Nicholas' enthusiasm whenever he's on camera. 2: Fantastic looking army and I love these showcases.

Tanya! Awesome video right away...CONFIRMED!!!

Love the look of that army! Can't wait to watch the battle report

Great Army feature. Tanya is a star, fantastic work on the army and I look forward to her battle report. Though I think we need to see Nick Tau vs Tanya Guard

Great job, Tanya! The paint job is so clean 👍

Beautiful army- really nicely painted😁 good battle plan for them

That is one sharp looking army, I also love the mindset of bring your favorite units even if they are not the best.

Really Cool Showcase Tanya is really nice and Nick is a great Host as always :) The Guy i play regularly also plays IG and i play Main Tau so I really enjoy watching it especially of this. Also the Battlecannons are mean one time my Riptide got almost killed by a barrage of a Battlecannon shots

Love the showcases. Keep them coming

Love army showcases!

So beautifully painted.

I really love your Showcases and hope to see a lot more!

"Do you run them as Cadian?" "I run them as whatever I want" Classic IG player answer right there

Nice video, as always.

Very cool army! Looks fantastic!

Outstanding army! That's how I'd want the Guard to look if 40K ever got a TV show.

All that edgehighlighting The simple yet very effective vanguard head conversions Very spicy army

The paint job on these models is fantastic, congrats.

First time I see this channel :p Tanya's Imperial Guard army looks fantastic, very cool painting scheme, always nice to see guard army showcase :) I'm building my first big army (Imperial Guard) classic scheme

Floorhammer yes! So many hour in my early days of Rogue Trader spent with books and pillows in a floor. Still great memories.

The reason to love tanks, is because watching your armada of Tanks rumble up the field is priceless to watch!

Wow, that was awesome. More of this. I share most of Tanya's sentiments and reason for playing "guard" myself. Love tanks and collect/play what I think looks cool and fits the narrative in my head. I started a tank company to ally in with my main army, Crimson Fists space marines and now have over 6,000 points of "Crimson Guard", my own custom regiment. Would really like to see Tanya play a battle report with her gorgeous army. Thanks for sharing.
