We're Doing It My Way!
*clear sigh*
Tak here... It appears Steve has roped me into this and he has somehow convinced all of you to play along. At Play On Tabletop we are all dedicated to doing the best job that we can with the jobs we are given and this task will be no different. I shall... *clear sigh*, as Steve says, 'rock this'.

Nick is playing Ultramarines? Play On's ball of energy teaches Warhammer 40K to a friend and first time player of the game. In this fun and furious Combat Patrol game we get to relive the excitement of picking up 40k for the first time.
Guest Stacey Roy is a Canadian actor and producer of the TV show “The Nerdy Bartender.” T'au Nick teaches her Warhammer 40k. She wanted to play Chaos Space Marines so he decided to use Ultramarines.

Episode 2 of our Patreon Exclusive narrative campaign has arrived. In this episode we see the orks attack the walls and attempt to breach the city itself. Can the lines of defence hold?

Hello, Producers!
The time has come for us to plan the next episode of 40k ALL STARS! Last time, James Jones and myself took a classic match up to the next level and this time, another friend of the channel...

The orks have pushed the Cults into the corner and its time for a desperate play from the revolution to try and regain the initiative. Having been beat back from all the major centres of Industry the cults turn to a mysterious supply cache in the middle of the northern desert. The Orks are not so easily fooled and have moved to take the supplies for themselves!

This Spring we have to come clean and clear the air. It was tough but Nick recorded a special video for Patrons. You can watch it above.
Tak has looked at the numbers. Reviewed the reviews. And we like to think ourselves very open-minded here so we have to come to terms with the signs. We may not be content creators. Our destiny may lie elsewhere.

So, it is time to pivot.

Welcome to the pilot episode of our Patreon Exclusive mini-series. Our first, in hopefully many, battles is based on Helsreach and stars the Steel Legion, Black Templars, and Orks.
Nick Plays the Imperium defenders and commands the Black Templars and Steel legion. James Jones, our resident favourite Ork player, brings Tooth Snatcha and the green skins to hopefully bring Helsreach to its knees once and for all.
Will this go like the books or will the players and dice tell a d...

All Stars is co-produced with our Producer-tier Patrons and this time they gave us Zingers to put into the game. What are Zingers? We wrote banter down on sheets of paper and the players must deliver them and get a laugh from their opponent to gain a command point. This is the only way to gain command points and both players start the game with zero.
James and his Orks are becoming a staple on the channel and he plays friend and rival Space Marine Steve in this hilarious episode.

UPDATE: MAR 15 550pm PST: Looks like some compression issues and a new export will be up in the next 35 hours. Some weird spots where the video goes to a lower resolution and the audio track for James is low (probably to compensate for his Waaaaagh'ing).

One of the core values here at Play On Tabletop is “to find the fun”. It was not long after our inception that the pandemic changed the world and we were humbled and honoured when we heard that our fun helped some people get through this challenging time. We feel it is good to have something to escape into, that connects us with likeminded individuals with similar values, and that will help invigorate us to face challenges and rough times. We create video content but the best thing to com...

This is the show influenced by Producer-tier Patrons. You submitted zingers for our players to deliver at each other. In this game of Warhammer 40k the only way to get command points is to make the other player laugh at a zinger.
Supporter and Producer-tier Patrons get early access first. We thank you for supporting the channel!

Our first major Narrative Campaign featuring T'au, Ultramarines, Death Guard, and Necrons.
In 2021 Play On Tabletop, with the support and backing of Deployment Zone TV, created Tombworld, a narrative 12-episode series using Warhammer 40K's Crusade system. Tombworld focuses on forging the narrative and all battles are connected and further the story.
The war waged by the T'au Empire, Space Marines, and Death Guard awakened something unexpected. It turns out that the planet...

James Jones is back and this time he is bringing the fast Orks. Will his waaaaagh get aggressive with this new speed or will he focus on board control?
This our first 40k in 40m episode with the newly minted studio Black Templar army with splashes from a previous season.
We shoot our episodes a month or more in advance so this is still with the Chapter Approved 2021 mission. And yes, we have shot a T'au battle now too so that is in the queue!

Hi there! We are going live with a Marvel Crisis Protocol game between Tak and Mubin.
We have a new set up that we wanted to try and as we get better at this we hope there will be more exclusive content for Supporter tier and Producer tier patrons.
In this game Mubin plays the Convocation lead by the Sorcerer Supreme while Tak plays X-Force lead by Cable.
We will try to monitor chat and interact with you live!

Last night's Live Stream was one of our most successful. Nick and Steve had immense fun as the city they fought on exploded around them. Our Live Stream's give us a way to have interactions with the audience and have them affect the game while also going a long way in sustaining us each month.
Not everything goes right all the time though. We actually had to launch two streams because we eventually cut the first one as well, we were having taknical difficulties.

The biggest model in Warhammer 40k. Sculpted almost two decades ago. Weighs more than a small child (Nick would know). The challenge is real!
You get a first look at the progress Nick has made on the Manta.
