@Jaan Eesti, one of our Patrons suggested a Firstborn vs Primaris battle and that lit a fire for Play On's Tak Kawana and Stephen Wilhite.  The two have been talking about "classic" versus new on and off for three years and with wanting to show off the Indomitus Box Set this felt like a perfect way to start off 9th edition.  Thank you, Jaan!

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A DRAFT. We wanted to get you early access even if only half a day.  Some of our scoring glitches and there are spelling errors we are looking to resolve before the evening.

With under a week to paint and prep Tak is piloting units from the Indomitus set for the first time as he did with Shadowspear in Season 1.  He brings Ultramarines, again, but hey we had to let him play something he was familiar with, right?

Stephen Wilhite poured a lot of love into painting up a full Firstborn list specifically for this challenge.  It includes not one, but TWO, Landraiders.

Hope you enjoy our Ninth Edition Kick Off Battle!

I love seeing the comparison between the new rules and old. Grats to Tak getting the marines painted so fast! :D I realize this is a draft, but could you make sure the volume for the narration and the player voices are at the same level? Tak especially sounds quiet.

Clearly the Emperor approves of Primaris, because those were some cursed dice!

Those dive rolls were so bad that I don't want to keep watching. When the dice are that bad, I normally just concede the match. No point in wasting time on a match where turn 1 and 2 all the dice fail you.

My goodness! How are you not millionaires yet. This is by far the most incredible video I’ve ever seen let alone from you guys. I’m upping my support just because of this.

Loved the CGI intro with the voiceover. This type of lore backing to the battle – as silly as it may be – adds a lot to it. Thanks for keeping that always in mind. Tak has to be congratulated on getting it all painted in time, and the whole team for getting this quality in editing and filming in. I wish you guys would have gone with obstacles for the solid buildings instead of ruins. They do not look breacheable – especially the bunker-like one – and having infantry moving in, out and through them unimpeded, including charging in/out, makes less sense to me. I know we don't have rules for actual buildings, but you can declare them as obstacles, scalable, light cover, obscuring and then treat any doors as open terrain. That allows units a way in/out and preserves most of the system without allowing infantry/beasts total freedom of movement. I love the fact that the two armies are set to the side due to the smaller table size, on that little area, not only it looks epic but it makes the game feel more integrated when the two players don't need to be turning their backs to remove casualties and such. It felt all very fluid and dynamic, love the banter/interaction between the two players. The overlaid commentary is spot on, especially when calling out new vs old rules, it's a great watch for us still unable to play due to covid and will help bridge the gap once we are out there again! As for the game... oh man I feel Steve's pain... those initial rolls where very underwhelming on critical situations and a little more swing to his side could mean a much closer game, if not a win for the firstborn.

That was a great game. Both players did well, and there was some bad luck but I think it would’ve been close either way. Very fun to watch all those vehicles exploding!

Thertra

That was a awesome match, anxiously awaiting more

MasterBraytac

The sound at the start sounds a bit off although it later seems to level out voice wise but is a bit loud. Should definitely be a T shirt! The exact wound count from those T hammers on the bikes is appreciated! Could he still have won if the repulsor had not blown up? since i think i am missing how he could have won if it had not. I like the end credits with the models, maybe have each person represented by there favorite model? Overall very enjoyable battle as always! Glad i became a Patron.

Cool way to kick off 9th with some new vs old! I definitely agree the more objective base gameplay is better for the game. Nice job again guys!

Ocelot

Wow! So intense battle damn...

Daniel Gschwind

Great bat rep as always guys! I have a question though. What are you using to paint the muzzle flashes? I have some but I wish mine were that bright

Jaan Eesti

That was amazing dudes! So close. Raven Guard vs White Scars rematch? 😉

Faceless Gaming Inc

Ooh. I've been waiting for this. Will have to watch it on the ferry!

Naked Chef Gaming

The quality keeps going up and up! Terminators have always been my favourite unit and I was excited to watch this throw down. Great work.

Biggus Dickus

The terrain design/aesthetic is a big part of the enjoyment of watching these for me, the more cinematic the better. I don't think you've done many woodland/forest terrains, how about it? Few if any buildings, perhaps just very dense foliage? Love your content!
