I loved the concept of a few quality soldiers with the right equipment standing up against a hoard of reviving undead surging toward them. It's a really classic concept and while I was rooting for the giant robots, both sides where very impressive and very cool.

I love Xenos vs Xenos. And I love tabletops with home-made terrain. Perfect for a relaxing New Year's Day afternoon.

Absolutely love the big point battle reports. The narrative is top notch as always. Great report to start the New Year. Thanks for sharing.

I like how the terrain needs to be reduced from the normal density to allow for the two massive armies. "Summer Lightning" is a great name. Sultan, "It's his Warlord Trait!" 😄 Winters, "It's his Warlord Trait!" 😄

10 years ago, my very first ever tabletop game my friend let me use his chaos models as proxies for my necron army. he was tau. this brings me back. he absolutely obliterated my army very quickly with broadsides. he like oneshot my monolith lol

Absolutely amazing bat rep as usual. I stand by what I always say, your bat reps are the best out there for sure. It may be just my phone speaker but voices seem quite quiet in your bat reps recently, thanks again for everything you do winters and everyone in DZTV Community

If I ever get to collecting Warhammer, my main army would propably be Necrons. They just look soooooo cool!

Beautiful game table, the paintings of the armies are awesome, story narrated for the game setup, 2 friendly gamers, well done battle report. You got a new subscriber.

Lots of fun on this one, I love watching necrons be taught a lesson.

*necrons bring a monolith* "Ah, playing with a handicap I see."

4000 Points of Tau!!!!! A perfect watch while i make my first ever attempts at putting colour on my army (Tau) :) Also Franks sauces are awesome, buffalo ftw.

I absolutely adore this matchup in the 9th. All in all, I feel like GW managed to make both cron and tau fun, fluffy, and balanced at the same time, so this right here, is an absolute delicacy to watch.

Yay Tau!! Stunning battle report gents, tense until the final roll!

This is the first video I have seen from you, popped up on my recommended and these are my 2 favorite factions so I figured I would watch it. What a fight, will look into more of your videos.

Somehow I wished you had a bigger board for these 4000 vs 4000 point battles … love for the New Year!

Winters, you do spoil us with your narrative flair on top of everything else.

Yay! A batrep without Marines ♥ Really excited to watch.

Man what a blood/cooling flux bath. That Tau world took a heavy hit, but the Necrons? Theyre just getting started and rebuilding in their Tomb Ships!

Great batrep, loads of fun! Thanks Winters and Sultan!

Four 6s to save from pulse drivers, bloody jammy that walker XD

YES NEW YEAR'S BATTLE REPORT, LETS GOOOO! Thank you so much Winters. Happy new year! What a way to start 2023 :D

Couldn´t care less about the Tau and the Necrons, but by the Emperor´s mummified testicles... This was amazing. Well done and Happy New Year!

Two beautiful armies. Looking at the forces… tau seem to have the edge Would love the crons to win thou… let’s see the outcome.

This was a favorite 40k fight vid

The Tau army is essentially "Don't talk to me, or my son, or my son's son ever gain"

that was a first time i saw an wh40k battle, and it was AWESOME!

Well played, very fun to watch. And Stunning Armies! The paintjob of the Necrons is splendid!!!

Great battle. Happy new year.

Feel like the Necron player needs to roll his dice and not just let them plop out of his hand. Like you can see a 1 or 2 on the die in his hand, then he'll just plop it down and it stays a 1 or 2 where if he actually rolled it, it could of been a different number and passed some of those failed saves etc. I've seen this happen a lot over the years usually with bigger dice and having to roll a bunch at one time but it seems having to hold the camera in one hand and film contributed. My suggestion, use smaller dice, and/or use a cup and a box off the gaming table so the dice don't hit terrain or models. Makes shooting the results easier too cause the dice stay in the box and don't roll all over the place. Nice report tho, good to see xenos duking it out and not just Marines vs chaos for the millionth time.

I love how the Stormsurge is basically the Tau adopting the Ork mindset of 'moar dakka' lol it's literally got guns attached to guns. The Tau'nar however is just a great big triple 'feck you' to anything downrange. A perfect counter to imperial titans if you think about it.

Great match! SP's dice were hot for once.

Coming from a background completely devoid of anything like this, this was really fun to watch! Id love to see this play out in VR tho but its fun as is :)

I have no idea wtf you’re saying but this looks like so much fun

Wonderful as always, love xeno fighting xeno! Well done Mr Winters and Mr Supportbubblesultan.

That was quite a bloody battle. Loved it, cheers.

Happy new year and here’s hoping for tons of awesome gaming and content in 2023

id like to see a continuation of this grand war. maybe a 5000 point sequel battle

one of my favourite battles you've done

Well done commander, the greater good has been defended once again

Down to the wire at the end there. A fantastic bat rep.

First report of the year and guns are blazing. Great game chaps.

Amazing armies and it's awesome to actually see a Tesseract Vault on the table.

8000 points of pure joy to watch! Always good to see Sunstrike, but I wonder if he could stand up to Murphy?

noice game!! My 2 fav armies. I didn't know who I wanted to win, but I understood the Tau tactics more. GG

Sweet table top setup! And the place the 'crons beam in from is The Lounge!

Decent battle, rubbish point /victory point distribution and conditions though. There is literally no point in holding objectives, when killing the leader on average is worth 2 points. Just hide your leader in your deployment zone, keep your ranged units in cover and shoot whatever you can (especially the enemy leader) while your melee troops deepstrike and then take one objective with all your might in the last or second to last round. That's a 66,666% auto win.

Tau: So anyways i started blasting

Amazing report hopefully more high point narratives to come!

Name a more iconic duo than Winters+ referring to things "spilling over" things! Jk I loved the video! Nothing but love for xenos armies!

I finally found this guy again, thank you algorithm

Love the sheer volume of carnage going on

Another great video Winters! You have such a clean battle mat and terrain feature(s). It's just right for the production IMO. Also, I love your dice with the marbling and vivid colour! Are they 16mm? They look bigger than that for some reason?

I never saw silver and yellow necron, and not gonna lie, I love it. Interesting color combo

Very nice video i am total noob never played tabletop before but always had a draw to it. I played 40k on pc so i get the units. Nice to watch

I now need to see just how big my guard army is. Probably around 4k points.

love to see xenos vs xenos never enough battles of that

Really well done, was a fun watch.

👏 crackin work gents

Go Bots! Thanks for sharing

Jesus, Tau shooting is ridiculous.

You just keep making my day Winters. when im feeling down. You save the day :)

It's just amazing! Big robots killing swarming robots) Almost Battle-tech universe! Winters, please make a report agains knigts and titans!

Happy New Year mr. Winters

nice painting

😃😄😁😆😅 5 Smile's. That's a lot of Necron!!!!.

This was great

Must be a sucker for punishment, taking on Tau in an open map like this. 🙂

No, you don’t have to go second, you NEED to go first. It’s a poor ambush if your enemy fires first. They can’t have any late game hail Mary’s if they aren’t standing.

Really enjoyed this one. Love a bit of Winters/Sultan 1-on-1 action (oo er missus)

Ken beauty lads 🤙

that was awesome!

Huh, i just realized the entire IP of warhammer40k is just basically a marketing ploy to upsell the game Risk.

Great fun to watch, new sub here

Starting the year off with an epic battle report. Happy New year everyone!!

great one!

awesome love to see these large fights

Great battle report. Thank you

Would love to see a guard vs votann game, 2 new codexes battling it out

Superb game, thanks fellas

Love bending the rules for a fun narrative

Awesome way to start new year - a Winters mega batrep! Hoping the Necrons smash those Tau!

Are old Necrons worth money today? I have some from my childhood still just in a box. I got one of those flying buildings, regular skeleton gunners and some who has upperbody that has flying thing for legs.

First time watching a game and that was brilliant!

Starting off the year in a big way eh. At a boy cheers

The relentless dice rolling is what kills this for me. I can never get into something like this where everything you do is based entirely on the roll of a dice. It's so time consuming and results are always bad for one side.

I know literally nothing about this. This is the first video ive seen about this tabletop game. Would it be possible to build a base below the figurine with a built in tape measure that pulls out to its max distance move? Or is that not something that would work?

Nice batrep! PS Techno cant ressurect scarab. It can ressurect core. Scarab is not core.

I wish this game was fun to play :( after playing battletech, I can't deal with the simplicity of warhammer anymore :(

Very cool

Great battle report. The Tau'nar while it has great firepower didn't seem that pressive for 1000 points. The 3 broadsides seemed nasty and would have been even better with 2 plasma rifles each. The drop zone clear stratagem was awesome each turn. The necrons put so pressure on the tau, and apart pulled out the win. Great close game.

Yo the thumb nail made me need to do a double take, thought it was from a game before I read the video title

Just awesome!

I really like the color scheme for the necrons, but that yellow looks like it's missing something.

Necrons are #1!!!!

Cool!

Great fun altogether now.

Gorgeous and well done batrep. Wouldn’t you wait till end of shooting phase to reanimate rather we than after every unit fire?

HNY Winters, hope you have a great 2023.

The Necrons can't die either, they just phase out.

Jesus this is complicated.
