[coolsskin]

[vospader101]

SO.... who won :O (the apoc game)

[TheUltimateSlapper]

OMG how are dreadnoughts and titan tanks? They are not tanks damn...

[skrullion]

Seriously thats like a national threat. there should not be that many Nerds in one area. no telling what nerdness they will do.

[Mortireacas11]

what is the song called i love it

[Fenris86]

@Mortireacas11 The song is called Ultramarines Chant, from the old Final Liberation game if i recall correctly.

[BlueGnoll]

@Mortireacas11 It's called Music Combat 5 from the PC videogame soundtrack Warhammer 40K Chaos Gate.

[BrianLeexx]

One thing I loved was the friendly competition and the honors held for the Veterans of the Armed Forces. The Line up of IG tanks (WOW~!) reminded me of the USSR Red Army T-34s in WW2.

[XVI0001]

4:10

HI MANCHESTER WE JUST BROKE YOUR RECORD WARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I so loving it.... taking the trouble to call them as they are ending the day... and have their record broken right in their ears...

[redeye117]

I am suprise GW Manchester didnt call Chicago Battle Bunker back to tell them their record was not only broken but was invalid due to lack of painted figures..

[redeye117]

Hi Manchester we just broke your record..

Nice..

[tymond2]

complete paint jobs would be nice.

[TheChaosUndivided]

lol

USA USA USA

[Yai2Nec2Coelinha]

Tell games workshop they need come to Brazil some time

[Rusty3336]

[stratefromsholin09]

damn you america!!!

[PyroPeeta]

well they sure broke the record for number of rednecks in the room at one time...

[nubsey03]

England did it first and made the gameXDXD i agree pastie man

[kingtwilliam]

Lol so thats about the normal amount of tanks for 1 ig army

[poik12]

lol

[Hikaru119]

That is a lot of tanks...

[TheMorganray]

(games workshop bolton/manchester) o dear we seamd to have broken this record 3 times alredy.

[cyberakuma666]

strange question but since both uk and america were counting walkers titans dreads flyers and anything with an armour value as a tank including a few items that wouldn't have anything past house rules for the game or "count as" ruling why no throw scale out the window and mix in epic scale tanks, titans walkers and flyers with their 40k counterparts the numbers would easily be in the tens of thousands as looking at my own epic force theres well over 100 units that would count as tanks

[pastieman]

Thats all good and all, but the entire game and concept was invented in england along with all the models and rules etc so dont boast too much.

[ssjdopey]

damn... that was overwhelming... but awesome

[dear140]

if any1 has a good space marines deal they wanna sell contact me plz

[TheMorganray]

what u lookin fore and what country r u in ?

[kuipers23]

You all should try Flames of War

very fun

[jankir93]

u look so stupid when u go over the top :(

[40kfan50001]

wow if i was there i will go sico

[maffarazoi]

3:11 was beast.

[sinebrain]

wow, guard stuff pretty much owned the place

[Elliot9UK]

nice one i wouldnt count walkers as armour but hey nice one all the same :)

[jay6366]

[anawaz94]

So is this the Games Workshop situated in the Arndale centre in Manchester?

[anawaz94]

Is this the GW in arndale centre?

[BlueGnoll]

@anawaz94 Chicago Battle Bunker

[Saladfinger10]

lol we take the record back go manchester

[CommanderChet]

I would love to see Space Marines going with some Nids. EPIC!

[fally15]

i'd post the footage of us beating the record but it is really really really crappy :S

[Eldarlover]

MANCHESTER NOW HOLDS THE RECORD AGAIN!!!! (good vid though)

[BlueGnoll]

Woot! Took you guys long enough to make the attempt! Get it over here as a video reply!!

[fally15]

wat table were u on i was on 10 so u might be the guy who set the revenant titan on me

[Eldarlover]

no i was on table 9, on the opposite side of the table to the titan

[fally15]

4 more hours 4 more houuuuuuuurs till we take this record back WOOHOO!!

[minipancho94]

where those epic armageddon dreds i saw in there?!?!?!? you guys are lucky that for 1 you have a gw in your town the 1 in mine closed (yes it sucks horribley) 2 you actualy have enough money to pay for forge world models and armies that large all i have is 1200 points aproximietly (haven played for soo long :( in necrons and no monolithe only a night bringer the necron box and a destrorer lord and a wraith :(

[Hunntroll]

USA always want the biggest but i think that a little game can be better with 40 miniatures if the amosfier is godd.

[jack037907]

is that rommel at 3:30?

he looks like a german anywaz

[RougeWolfFang]

bit of an overreaction...

[skarnir]

2981 units but as you can see NOT 2981 TANKS

[BlueGnoll]

Anything with an armor value. 'Nids were assigned armor values based on their toughness so as not to exclude those players.

[TechUnadept]

Oi, manchesta! We done stomped yer record! WAAAGH!

[sporedude114]

r u from liverpool?, if u r, are u goin to the record attemp on the 21st, if u r, i am, im an orks player, i have 1700pts

[Eldarlover]

HA!!! 2 things. 1 you cheated by including bikes and incomplete models and. today Manchester once again beat the record!!! 2,562 vehicles (all with armour values) built and painted!!!! woooooo!! go MANCHESTER!!!

[BlueGnoll]

Not sure how a 300 model deficit works out to a win, but if everything was built and painted then kick ass!  Congrats!! If anyone got footage of it get it over here as a reply!

[moochkin]

I remember the Tank day at the, "metro centre" gateshead - England.

Such a fun day, looks like oyu guys had a good time too.

If you got so many kills we got to launch an orbital strike on a grid square of another shop.... the Newcastle store killed a Nurgle land raider about to unleash hell on our left flank lol.

[Warhamma94]

Go Chicago area!!!!

[Warhamma94]

lol the food's better here!

[cheezemon13]

im not entirely sure, but i think that they used a little more than 3 heavy support.

lol jk : )

[fally15]

oh were takin this world record back i was there wen we set it and i'll b there wen we break it once again MWAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Darthane]

Were the 'nid apoc units counted?

Didn't see much tau, your missing the biggest guns in the game without them ;(

[BlueGnoll]

'Nids were assigned an armor value based on their toughness. And I'm pretty confident no one was missing the Tau very much. ;)

[Darthane]

Hehe, come on then, that is kinda cheating, you had an awesome rumble by the look of it, but did you actually take a count on "painted tanks" to see if you still had beaten Manchester's title?

Also I think the addition of a few tigershark AX-1-0 would have made things very exciting, they usually do in my games :)

[BlueGnoll]

This comment comes up a lot. There were in-game incentives/bonuses for models purchased within a certian time frame. So some of the unpainted ones you see were literally bought and built a day or less before the event.

[solozaur]

wow u got to have a lot of money on your hands ..a titan costs a lot of money:( ..i'd like to buy one to paint it and keep it on display!

[osgillather]

its just normal 40k i think. Nooooooooooooooooo the americans have beaten us! i am british so lol

[fally15]

dont worry dude we are takikn that record back in march we want revenge for this atrocity they brought down on us.

[fally15]

were taking it back at our next attempt oh and btw the americans cheated becoz since when did tyranids have an armour value...

[theGoannaMan]

At 2:00, theres a droid tri fighter from star wars! Or is it something else?

[JCBabbitt]

it looked like a necron ship but im not sure

[dave38x]

first turn must have taken a while.....

[ChaplainDMK]

errm is this Warhammer or Epic? Cuz i saw titans and mini tanks

[AceKillers21]

go canada not the us the u.s sucks

[Dimitrij90]

USA USA :D  i wish we coudl do that in germany without being looked at as nazis :D

[mrpinkpony]

hah yaaaaa niceee... i play Lord of the Rings though. but sweet video guys.

[posksas]

AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

[ibeatcodin1day]

thats it america, give em hell!!!!!!

[rotnem07825]

Kick ass! Although I'm a Necron player. WE OWN ALL LIVING THINGS!!

[anpe1001]

[anpe1001]

Awesome, it would be so cool participate, looked like you all had a great time :)

[santivilaaj]

[54spiritedwill54]

omfg that was kick ass

[54spiritedwill54]

omfg that was kick ass

[darkane9]

[Uncle5cary]

[ForceUniverse]

Everyone has a little geek in em'.

[rammsteinaaron]

omg that is freaking amazing... look at all the tanks!!! god that is amazing indeed and the collors wow.... man id been in heaven to been there lol awesome vid!!!!

[babylemursmum]

Tom, aaaaaarrrrrrggghhhh!, UNPAINTED DOESN'T COUNT. how can you win with soooooo many unpainted tanks!!!

[happytravelling]

Some of the models are awesome. I will be looking for some video of the actual battle, but I suspect I will be left wanting. Still, wonderful work.

[videoking666]

wow thats a ton of tanks but laugh out loud(lol) i got like 300 war bikes for my evil sunz so 1 for 1 i win :)ha ha ha

[archanz]

Oh my fucking God, although that was a really nice competition, i have to say that...fuck you america.

[germanMasterroach]

Hoh My God.

God goosebumbs all over . That's one big ass army.

[lorcan0c]

um at 2:00, the model on the far left isn't a warhammer model. it's a star wars easykit of a droid tri fighter from episode 3. it was just repainted to look necron-y

[BlueGnoll]

It counted as a monolith or a Pylon, I forget which.

[moomoocowgr]

pfff scummy american shitheads, i will break that record, the Doncaster Games workshop will break that record, ENGLAND, WILL CLAIM BACK ITS WELL DESERVED TITLE, FOR THE EMPEROR/QUEEN

[lb729202]

British have the natural mind of a strategist. And the Americans (no offence) practically are Europeans so you lot are'nt all that special and same goes to the Australians. The Americans only have quintity and technology not much strategy. But hey the "yanks" gave us good stuff..... like.... Star Wars and thier food!!

:-)

[lambadadark]

where the shit are the tau?

[BlueGnoll]

The Tau were way under represented. We weren't deliberately not taking footage of them, there were virtually no Tau on the Table top.

[lorcan0c]

yeah, my tau army has like 7 vehicles in it.

3 pirahnas, 2 hammerheads, 1 devilfish and 1 sky ray

[Einhander0000]

ahh poo, no one's for the greater good :'[

[darkane9]

at 2:47 are those epic figures and why are they so big?

[BlueGnoll]

Those are OLD armorcast titans.

[stelerscyth]

correction 300k to 200k

[stelerscyth]

about 2-3 million  dollars of warhammer there...

[kev8kev]

Australians shit all over american yanks!

[wuskul]

hey well done on beating the record,

why are people complaining about nationalism?

im from england myself and i dont think there is anything wrong with americans chanting "usa"

i do find it a bit over the top but atleast they are proud of there country!

Anyway england and america are a good allied force they proved this in both world wars and a bit of competition between the 2 countrys about breaking a warhammer tank unit isnt going to start another one between us lol!

well done :D

[ATGOD]

omfg that was kick ass

[T2Gibbon]

WTF is that Thing on 3:13 ? :D

I like all of the Forgeworldmodels :)

The record could not be beaten by our towns shop, 1000tanks could be placed in but then there would be no room for the people lol^^

[gameman122]

an ork stompa

[bottenbreker24]

breaking the record was cool, the nationalism was not. but whatever. :)

[BlueGnoll]

The nationalism is ultimately cool and appropriate seeing as it was Veteren's Day.

[Milkymalk]

Yeah riiight... nationalism is what started WW1, WW2, the cold war, McCarthyism, masses of rolling heads after the French revolution... any non-natural desaster in history books, you name it, nationalism's the cause. Honor to your veterans, but don't act as if nationalism was the ultimate good.

Funny how Germany, which is most looked down upon when being proud of itself, has one of the most pacifistic anthems there are, and its former WW2-enemies sing of battle and bombs...

[BlueGnoll]

Love how you stuck a little national pride in there at the end, bubba. Go Germany!

[Milkymalk]

Oh I do take pride in my country :) And I think since the World Cup 2006 and our performance in the European Cup 2008 (you STILL see a LOT of flags hanging from windows since then) many other people here do so too. You see, nationalism is generally a negatively connoted word in German, so people are reluctant to show off their national pride, except in sports events because then it's all friendly. What mostly had a sour taste for me was this yelling "USA" as in "we are better than you English".

[BlueGnoll]

This was also a "friendly" competition to break a record held in England. I don't know how the term/concept "Double standard" translates into German, but I think one standard is good enough for everybody.

[wuskul]

hey dont worry about that guy he is an arse,

be proud of your country it has achieved many great things along with us brits ;)

americans always have to go 1 step better than everyone but who the hell cares if you want to be top?

you enter competions to come first right?

cheerio chap! lol

[cheesemonke9]

How Come the dreadnought in 1:54 is way bigger then the one next to it?

[fryboylll]

venerable dreadnought, metal figure too!

[Causalspark]

They're two different types of dreadnoughts. One is the Venerable while the other is the normal. It's a newer unit among the Space Marine army.

[STATICPOPCORN]

yey go england

[Jay84ever]

warggggggggggggggggggggggggggg­gggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[guardsmen2479]

LOL a armour cast titans i remeber those days...

[Dylanhunt88]

What is the name of the music used in the video?

[bluefalcon04]

it's the Ultramarines Chant

[BlueGnoll]

Actually, it's called Music_Combat5 from the Warhammer 40K Chaos Gate PC game. I'm not sure where it picked up the "Ultramarine Chant" label. Probably from another video.

[Sleepzi]

I want that big dude at 3:11.

;]

[dgrulzforev]

just imagine if there was a game between all of those tanks!!!!

[DeathxWishx101]

What the hell is that at 3:11

[BlueGnoll]

An Ork Gargant -- their biggest titans from original Epic.

[Sinonie]

wow nice collection

this is crazy.

im starting to collect WW2 tanks

[cznabs]

i like 40k but y do these ppl get so over exited...its a bit sad, i think its more of a 9-18 year old thing not 30-60 year old its kinda sad

[BlueGnoll]

You have no idea what you're talking about, it's a bit sad.

[NoodleBrutals]

I like YouTube, but why do these kids get so over excited ...and spell so bad? I think it's more of a 9-18 year old problem. Not 20-60 year olds, they thnk it's kind of sad.

[dwarfkiller200]

you have 2 think also that retired ppl paint these alot it amasizing like how much they can paint casue my uncle paint and hes retired he paints lik 1 box of 20+ a day...

[cassius969]

Whats so sad about it ? Would you say the same of gettin excited about older games such as basketball or chess ?

[Necronlord101]

whoa whoa whoa hold on one sec here, the eldar created slaanesh, but i dont like him/her/it/whatever. i like Khorne.

[karlfranz90]

At 2:09, what model was that?

How many different armies were fighting?

SPACE MARINES!!!!!!!!!

[BlueGnoll]

That's a Barbed Hierodule at 2:09. Every army was fighting, although the Tau were VERY under-represented.

[posksas]

Lamb of god would make some serious kick-ass theme music. But this isn't that bad either.

PURGE FOR CHAOS!!!

[PlankofWood1]

Was this an actual battle? If so, I wish I was there, BECAUSE IT IS AWSOME.

[BlueGnoll]

Oh yeah Plank, it was a battle! Very streamlined rules, but it was still an awesome game!

[PlankofWood1]

So it was a 550 vs 550 game?! Someone needs to break this record nearby where I live...

[Pathfinder904]

sweet armourcast titan!

[Mushroompiee]

NERDIEST THING EVER...

[BlueGnoll]

150+ people having a good time vs. 1 dork commenting on a two year old video. Who's the nerd?

[Cavscout5096]

I love seeing Imperial Guard Units... *Sniff* I miss my old units (Little nephew got a hold of em, Im down to ONE imperial guardsman... rest are all broken beyond repair)

[mrpimp989]

wow you have no i idea how alike we are wife got ahold of them and accidentally threw them away makes me sick :)

[Teknikergatan18]

I am with you.

[killarz01]

wow loads of tanks and stuff i have only got a space marine wirlwind and about 35 units:]nice vid.

[Cuberkid]

Deth to the false emporer

[PlankofWood1]

Death to your Sexy pink lizard riders.

[SpyglassProductions]

Went to GW today, had a warhammer battle, AND WON. The week before I had a 40k battle AND WON. GW rules. May Sigmar bless it :)

[mp40mason]

lol its funny watchin a bunch of american freeks, geeks and nerds make idiots of them selfs, btw there are plans that manchesters goin for the 3000 mark, NICE TRY AMRICANS BUT YOULL NEVER BEAT US!

[BlueGnoll]

What do you mean "never"? It happened two years ago. In fact, there's video proof of it right here... But raise the bar and we'll top it again. No problem.

[Pathfinder904]

that is only 19 more than the total so what we will beat it again

[thebigboss88]

wow would i love to knock them tables over :-)

[BlueGnoll]

When you try, be sure to be wearing your best running shoes and have a Living Will already made out. ;)

[makalevi]

[ryan1258]

[123451a]

ENGLAAAAAAAANNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD­D

[CitizensSinful]

What's wrong with nationalism? Should they have been shouting a British cheer instead?
