Content

There were some weird ones but whatever questions we randomly drew from a hat, made by you the Patrons, were the ones we answered. We talk about "how it all began" and "what was the Emperor's favourite fast food chain" in this Ask Anything.

We couldn't get to every question and some questions were so big they will require another post or video. 

We had a lot of fun with this and perhaps this will lead to more content like this in the future. What are your thoughts? Do you want to hear more rambling from us?

Ask Anything from How It All Began to Where did the Emperor Dine?

We went to Patreon and asked our patrons to ask us anything and they responded with a multitude of questions ranging from serious to wacky. We will tell you our origin story, favourite games, and where we think the Emperor of Mankind would have dined. We took all the questions and ran them into our incredibly sophisticated random generator which selected 28 for us to answer.

JT- I grew up with Battle Tech which then turned into Mechwarrior (when Wizkids had it)! So cool to see how all of you have so many differing hobbies and just all the connections. Really love this community and the depth it has. So excited for Season 3!

My sneaky plan to get Nick to say Tau smell like fish worked out!

Great video as always. Awesome to hear your answers. Look forward to al lathe greatness to come in the new year.

Kim Larssønn

Great video! 😁✌🏻❤️ cant wait for another video!

Thanks for answering my question guys, gotta say I’ve been called a lot of things but that’s the first I’ve been called a prophet I’ll take that! Haha.

matthew perrin

Also thank you to Steve for his honest answer about the benefit of warhammer for him in a reply to someone else’s question. I turned to Warhammer just before lockdowns first started in the UK last year in Feb and we’re plunged back into another currently, I feel without your videos getting me into warhammer to give me some peace of mind despite all the craziness my mental health would’ve taken a kicking. So thanks to you all for pushing me to try it

Holy crap man, leaving vehicles as wrecks and using extra damage for explosions should be always there for narrative games. I can see how the wrecks slow down competitive, but amongst two people who put fun/explosions first, it could result in some insane scenarios! I usually just leave the vehicles in place and place foam smoke stacks on top of it.

Also love SW:Armada it has the right scale and epic feeling of the SW capital ship battles that X-wing did not capture for me.

Thanks for answering the question, I went back and rewatched the Blood Angels vid - that tank going down first turn :( really looking forward to all the amazing content you guys are planning and really amazing to hear all the answers to all the questions. Can tell you guys are a great bunch of friends and I feel I am part of something so positive and creative. Stay safe guys and thanks again 🙌

My silly question got into the final cut. I was totally expecting it to be ignored. All the rest Qs are so good. But! Now, a bit of searching and I've located Nick's user on reddit ;-) as well as some of the good subreddits

Jared Bonter

JT is so well spoken. He speaks and you want to listen. Everyone on the PlayOn team is so good at what they do. The end result is evidence of that. Koodos to all of you! And koodos to Tak for seeing those strengths and bringing everyone together

Zesty Aardvarks

Merch idea: a T'au poster that says "Remember your Overwatch and Marker Lights" Also speaking of collabs, any chance of working with other youtube 40K people like Midwinter Minis, Tabletop Tactics, Dice Check, or Tabletop Titans?

Daedricanid

I just learned from watching this video that you guys have a "crusade series" for Patreon members who give $5 or more... I upgraded INSTANTLY. More content to watch!!!!!! Speaking of content, I can't get enough of showcase videos. Even if you showcased armies we've already seen. JP's Blood Angles? Gorgeous. Jim's Soul Drinker army? Stunning. (I especially dig the windshields on his Invictus Warsuits). That Imperium army that was all Ork/Goblin conversions?!?! Are you freaking serious? I DESPISE the Orks and I still thought that army was beautiful. More badass armies plzzzz.

Spannaway

Hearing that Nick, a fellow Tau player, likes legion just made my day! Is there any particular faction you gravitate towards? And great video as always guys!

Tomliginyu

Would love that video series that Nick & JT talked about. Hell yeah, return of the Goblin Guard, f'in loved that conversion. Looking forward to you guys having a full year in your own studio.

Nick gallagher

Sucks I missed out on asking questions. Was going to ask if anyone on the team knew that several famous people like Henry Cavill, Van Dessel are Warhammer 40k fans. If possible would you guys ever ask someone like that on?

lewis salter

So cool hearing JT loves his Golf. Im a massive football fan (soccer for you muricans) play a lot of football manager and in real life. My gaming group has cyclists/mountain climbers and people that have never played sports. Miniatures just have a way of enticing a wide range of people.

DuskinReview

This was extremely well edited. Well done (Tak I'm guessing)!

Mini Myths

Thanks for featuring my question, and thanks so much (especially to Nick) for the detailed answers. You guys are the best!
