A Very Big December!

Play On Tabletop has taken a big leap with a new studio, new equipment, and a 100% increase in dedicated editing time.  For you, that means we are delivering more content in a single month than we have ever done before. 

There are seven new releases in December and all Warhammer 40,000 releases will be early access here on Patreon.

You have already seen the next 40k in 40m, the Grey Knights versus Chaos. 

Apocalypse is also coming your way soon!

We are e...

The Struggle is Real! Does this 40k in 40m make the cut?

Growing pains are real.  2020 is real. The struggle is real!  We want your honest opinion, Patrons!

This battle report is the first one shot in our new studio and there was challenges.  We tried some new things and new gear that didn't pan out for us.  Also, due to restrictions and rescheduling we had to do this while missing some crew members.  We may have a good battle here but we want you, our Patrons, to decide whether or not we should uploa...

Learning from the Past, Planning for the Future

Play On Tabletop is on a really wild ride, especially this year.  We started with big dreams and big goals and in many ways we have accomplished what we set out to do.  We wanted to make a tabletop gaming channel that gave our fans unparalleled content quality and we believe that we have succeeded there.  However, there is some things about the experience that our team has not been able to keep up with: a consistent release schedule; and, good community engagement, particularly...

40k in 40m Season Two Championships! Coming Soon!

Hello, Play On People!

We have loved creating 40k in 40m Season 2. The growth we have experienced this year has been incredible and it just keeps coming! We crossed the threshold of 100'000 subscribers, we moved into a new studio, and we have expanded our team to include an additional editor. None of this would have been possible without the  support given to us from all of you. Thank you so much!

Championships are coming soon and you are going to get a full, four game champi...

Play On Titans Returns!

Hello, Play On People!

Well, we have decided to do it again! Apocalypse is such a great game system and the games really showcase the epic stories we want to tell. We are delighted to share with you this trailer to the next PLAY ON TITANS! The game itself is almost finis...

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving AND a Brand New Show!

*RELEASE SCHEDULE BELOW* 

Hello, Play On People!

The weather is starting to change and here in Canada we just started our Thanksgiving Long Weekend! This is usually the time of year where people like to travel: see friends, family, and loved ones... but of course... this year isn't going to be the same. 

Now, it is right to be a little sad that plans need to change... but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy the weekend, right?!

Crusade Field Report: September

In the aftermath of the Tau's attack on the Imperial Fortress, high in the clouds above Tamara-1, the embers of an epic narrative burn. 

After the attack on the air base, the Tau retreat to the surface world and prepare to launch a new attack to retrieve their lost technologies. Meanwhile, Captain Eckers of the Raven Guard leads a small strike force into the Tamara System to hunt down Tau Leadership and runs in to a small incursion of Chaos. Beaten and bruised, he retreats into the...

40k in 40m Episode 6 - Cloud Strike! Early Access!

High above the clouds of Tamara-1, an Imperial science facility works to discover the secrets behind ancient technologies. While the tech-priests of the adeptus mechanicus do their research, the clouds break to the whirring of engines; alarms blare and cannons fire as the Tau Empire strikes against the Imperial facility. 

Will the forces of the imperium prevail in keeping their stolen technologies or will the Tau Empire leave this sector with an ancient and powerful trophy... this ...

What is your Favorite Space Marine Vehicle?

Hey, Play On People! 

The Space Marine faction is filled with incredible war machines; from Dreadnoughts to Battle Tanks, Land vehicles of both Speeder and Raider varieties, and the new hovering gun boats of Primaris fury, there is something to love from every era... However, I want to know your favorite!

In the comments section below, tell me which of all the Space Marine vehicles i...

Building a Brand - Our Name is Everything

When we started Play On Tabletop, it wasn't close to what it is today. Every decision we made in the creation of the channel and our brand was deliberate. We wanted a name that was easy to say, something that really rolled off the tongue. We also wanted to make sure that the name spoke to what our vision of the channel was, a place for people to be inspired to play. 

Once we landed on the name we needed a logo that felt right. Something that people could recognize as both a symbol ...

Cloud Strike Campaign - Episode 2!

On the icy polar caps of Tamara-1, the remnants of the T'au strike force recover from their battle above the clouds. However, their retreat is interrupted by pestilent agents of chaos,  the Death Guard.

In today's contest, Tau Nick takes on Play On Tabletop's resident Terrain expert, Tycho Immega! Tycho's army has one battle under it's belt, which is giving him a bit of an advantage, so it will be interesting to see how Nick handles that particular challenge!

Enjoy the show a...

Tak is on Vay-Kay! Let's Build his Army for Him!

I hope you are all enjoying Crusade! We have another chapter coming out to all of you VERY SOON.... like... this weekend soon... so get pumped because I am so pumped I cannot be pumped anymore. (Should I keep that phrasing? Eh, whatever, Tak is on Vacation.)

Alright, so here is the deal, Play On People! I told Tak that I needed his Crusade Roster BEFORE he went on Vacation and he said ...

The Hero We Need.

I have a morning ritual:

- I hit snooze on my alarm twice

- Get on, put on my slippies (slippers) 

- I decide what colour shorts I'm going to wear

- I then scroll through every Warhammer page I am on (this and choosing the shorts make up the majority of my morning)

It so happens that this morning I came across something pretty remarkable... A miniature CHUCK NORRIS! I wasn't the first person to find this image and it is likely many of you have already seen i...

Cloud Strike: Play On Tabletop's Crusade Story

On the outskirts of known space the tinkering of a curious race may lead to the doom of an entire system.

In a seemingly unexplored and barren sector of space converge six forces all with their own agenda.  Some pursue a great prize while others seek personal vengeance and glory.  

The Play On Crusade Campaign Map features three levels:...

The Crusade BEGINS!

We are very excited to kick-off the Crusade campaign here on Patreon, only for Patrons.  

With a new format comes the ability to be producing content quicker with the real benefit of being able to engage more with Patrons as our narrative campaign grows and evolves.  In the coming weeks expect to have more interactions with us to decide the fate of our armies.

In the next few days you will see posts that tell the story of how the Raven Guard, Death Guard...

Help Tak Choose What Faction to Crusade With

Decide my (Tak) destiny!  What Faction/Army will I use in Play On Crusade 2020 Season 1.

I have four armies in various states of build and paint and cannot decide what to bring to the tabletop.  I am hoping you Patrons can help him make the call.  Crusade will be our Patreon Exclusive content and every member of Play On will play in this Crusade campaign this yea...

Coming Soon to Patreon Exclusively. Crusade!

So, you may have watched the video first and realized that yes, you just watched our first failed attempt at the Opening for a Live Switching Battle Cast format we are trying out.  If you are reading this first then well, consider this setting up expectations.

CRUSADE AS A FULL GAME AND LIVE SWITCHER FORMAT!

What you may have noticed in the video.

Yes, that is new equipment (rented for now as we wait for ours to arrive) to try out a ne...

WORK IN PROGRESS Adeptus Mechanicus

Hello Patrons!  

The Adeptus Mechanicus are coming!  While reading through the comments on YouTube we saw quite a few comments requesting the Ad Mech and wanted to oblige.  Tak played the Adeptus Mechanicus throughout most of 7th Edition and when he saw the Archaeopter and Sulphurhounds he thought it was time to start them up again.

STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN

FIRST FULL DRAFT 40k in 40m First 9th Edition Game Early Access

@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 scori...

The How To for How To

We really wanted to be part of the whole buzz and excitement around #new40k because we are big fans of it and what has been happening in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.  

THE JOURNEY TO HOW TO PLAY ON WARHAMMER 40K 9TH EDITION FOR BEGINNERS

With the release of the Indomitus box set and kicking off 9th we knew this past weekend, July 25-26th, 2020, were a big deal and we got to working on how we could be part of that.  While we are not on the Games Worksho...

Exclusive Content - Jim Vesal Extended Interview

Learn more about Jim Vesal's Soul Drinkers as well as the man himself.  

Working on 9th Edition

You just got the last episode of our 40k in 40m for 8th edition and during this time we've also been hard at work on content for 9th.  

Between painting, learning, and production - the Play On Tabletop team has been tackling 9th for the last week ever since we started to assemble The Garage: Games & Geekery's store demo copy.  

We learned rules.  We got the paint up to an acceptable level.  And, then we went into studio for two days straight.  

EPISODE 4 EARLY ACCESS.

Episode 4 of our series 40k in 40 mins is here! As patrons, you get the first look before anyone else.  

This is our send off to 8th edition and will be our last release in 8th.  And what a release it is. A highlight is the amazingly converted and painted army in the form of the soul drinkers, a corrupted faction of Space Marine, still claiming to be loyal to the emperor!

Facing off against them is our very own JT McDowell piloting his Aeldari Raiders.

The 8th Edition Sendoff! Episode 4 Teaser

Here is the teaser and the Patreon early access is coming soon!

We are NOT a Tshirt Company

"We are not a tshirt company" seems to be what Tak says after every meeting...

However, we are proud of our brand and it seemed like our Play On shirts were a hit.  With those Play On shirts we have kept them exclusive to Patreon and players.  

Enter Teespring, which hooks directly into Youtube, and we have a few more options we can offer.

40k in 40 ... seconds?!

Stephen at Play On Tabletop decided he wanted to do his own thing.  And we all loved it!  We have bigger plans for 40k in 40 seconds and for now you can watch the first of its kind which was previously posted to our Facebook.

The bigger plans involve getting the community involved.  

We love creating battle reports.  We get to play.  We get to share our games with the world.  And, we get to connect with the tabletop gaming community. ...

Figuring things out.

It is a strange time for everyone, that goes without saying.  Here at Play On we are trying to figure out the best setup to work during this time.  

While we produce our battle reports at a game store where our primary studio is located we have set up other spaces in the hope to create content faster but still at a very high quality.

One thing about moving our studio to ...
