Who is your favorite Table Top Tactics Host?

[9x19 Parabellum]

Chef, Beard, Bone, Spider? Other?

[Axineton]

Beard and bone with spider in third place. The rest are whiney and terrible in my opinion. 

[RWJP]

In terms of personalities/passion for the game/style of presenation, all of them...

Games however... Anyone but Spider. Lawrence is just too damn good at the game and seems to be blessed by truly incredible luck, so games involving him against anyone else get boring quickly as he systematically pummels them into the ground. If TTT had another person on the team with the same skill level/luck as Lawrence, games between them would probably be the best on the channel.

1st Beard, 2nd Bone, 3rd Stig

Didn't really like Chef and Lawrence in the beginning, but they're grown on me...

I'm a fan of Bone myself.  His "baddalion" shenanigans always make me smile!

[ShibeKing]

Really big fan of Bone and Beard. I like Spider a lot too, but he plays Drukhari so well I feel ashamed at my less than stellar record.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

I like beard and chef best. Stig and Spyder are great too. Bone wants to win too much.

[Doghouse]

I like Bone. It's a very good channel and I like the style of their presentation.

[Umbros]

All of them are great! Lovely people.

 

Bone and Beard is a classic combination that is hard to argue with.

Hehe, I think he just likes to put on a show a bit :D. But I see how that could be a bit annoying ^^

[techsoldaten]

Bone. Rockstar of the group.

 

The thing about Spider and Beard - they're very talented and always have been. Nothing wrong with that, would enjoy playing against either of them.

 

But Bone evolves. Have watched his playing skills improve, mistakes lessen, ability to articulate reasons for a list sharpen, and drop some weight over time. His comedic blow ups speak to emotions we've all felt and there's fewer over time.

 

He sets an example all players can learn from.

[Halandaar]

Bone & Beard iz Best.

[Knoffles]

The first time I came across it and saw Bone I was like golly gee and it almost put me off the channel. How wrong I was. He just cracks me up and it's a shame he's moved onto pastures new. I'm also a big fan of Beard and the Spider. The latter as I really like his coaching. For someone who doesn't play 40k often it really helps understand games and tactics more easily.

[G8Keeper]

For me spider and chef, their codex dive videos are second to none.

[Medjugorje]

I am really disappointed about their Black Templar BR. It was without any love and not even a Templar relic in it. It was just a normal Marine Army with Chapter master and a gunline.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Beard is not consumed with winning which I applaud. Bone he always wanted to win too much which put me off. Chef has great analysis of the game and stopped whining which I greatly appreciate. Kate is a fantastic new edition to the team and an excellent choice. Winning is easy for Spyder and he is a good person too.

Tabletop Titans was even worse… they don’t really understand nor can do it any real justice.

I mean...it was the first time picked up a Marine army. How chapter-thematic was your list in your first game with the army?

[tychobi]

I prefer the Playontabletop stuff.  Space Marine Steve had a rough time with his Black Templars vs Admech.  But then again I am a bit bias 

[Brother Sidonius]

The one and only B Bone. No matter what sort of day I had he always made me smile :)

I think people were expecting more from a professional battle report channel though. Not blaming Katie (think that is her name?) for knowing very little about the army as a first-time Black Templars player. She was doing her best but obviously had very little time to prepare and learn.

[Skywrath]

At first I found Bone annoying, but overtime grew to like him. Probably Chef and Spider are my two favourites. Chef seems to be pretty fun around. Intellectually, I can always rely on the Spider for a competitive perspective, which every 40k game I play. 

[9x19 Parabellum]

Bone was definitely my favorite, may he rest in peace.

 

After that I think I like Beard best, followed by Spyder.  I like beard when he does his Orky voice.  Chef rubs me the wrong way.

 

Jinx, as the newcomer has great personality and energy but knows jack about the game still.  That would be fine except it's called "table top tactics", I think most people come for a competitive bat rep.  I find myself mostly disappointed in her batreps because I know she's going to lose.  She'll be good in time though, hopefully.

 

Thanks for all the replies! hard to believe this thread is still going a year later!

Terrible news of his passing.

 

When I heard he was leaving TT, I assumed it was to move to another job and we'd someday see him again. 

 

Bone was honestly inspiring. Over the years, he lost weight, improved as a player, and got his temper under control. He didn't have the natural charisma of some of the other presenters, this man had to work for it. And he made it work, I would often start my Saturdays with Freeview.

 

Battle reports begin and end with a video. With Bone, we saw a life in progress. Never occurred to me the weight loss was related to his health, or that we were watching a lesson in courage.

 

Losing him is quite a blow. Carry on.

 

I know he's from Australia. Is there family to whom we can send condolences?

I'm pretty certain the "rest in peace" was a joke...

 

Bone is definitely still alive and well and posted on his instagram yesterday: https://www.instagram.com/the_bbone/

That's a relief. Talk about reading something the wrong way...

 

Odd how believable that was.
