How to get better at Warhammer 40K deployment 

Love that. Different perspectives can definately give you more insight!

No problem, I am glad it was helpful :) Thanks for the comment I think this is a great issue to discuss. I understand your concerns but I feel it's a very common thing to move a unit and state something like "it's my intent to not be visible by x and y after you move. I can't be seen if I go here and you then move, are you in agreement?" We are allowed to pre measure in our games so it is totally possibly to measure a point and check ahead of moving any models. No need for anything more elaborate or time consuming just a quick check. I have never had an issue with opponents on this with either party asking that or as a TO this becoming a thing with players. I can however totally see how it can cause an issue if someone agreed something and then changed their mind. If player A asks will i be visible and player B says no. Then when they move models player B realises they are in fact visible. At this point it could be tricky but I would expect both players to resolve things amicably. In a lot of situations it is likely that a slight adjustment to properly be behind a wall will fix it with no impact to the game, for example. If things are more complex and player B is taking the line of tough luck i know we agreed but the reality is you are visible. Well then at that point Player B is taking advantage and angle shooting. If they have agreed with the opponent that there is no visibility and now realise it is different, to stitch them up knowingly is foul play. I do agree you shouldn't just dump stuff on your opponent to work out for you. Lazily asking things is a bit much but that is not what I am advocating. What i am suggesting is that there is absolutely nothing wrong with a clear conversation about intent, checking yourself ahead of your movement, and then confirming from your opponent what visibility and measurements will be before you commit. The fact that we can pre-measure makes this really easy to do in game and confirming the same understanding on these points helps with a smoother and more pleasant game.

Thanks for the feedback will think on how to do this best

Could potentially reach out to another channel that does battle reports and asking to use examples from their videos, with correct credit and linking of course.

It's a good idea but i need to think of logistics as a factor to get videos done in a timely manner. I have some ideas to include some video longer term

@incursionevents good stuff. Oh the video was spot on as well, the only other factor I would take into account specifically for 10th is being hyper aware of your opponents redeploy abilities. With how powerful they are, I feel they need their own mention when thinking about your opponents strengths and weaknesses.

Thank you - that's a great shout.

Np at all! Glad u like it :)

Thanks!

Thanks! Totally agree - resist the temptation to set important units up first. I think it comes with experience but you're right - predicting what the opponent might be worried about and saving that to the end is a great nugget. Can't hide from that nasty anti-tank if you don't know where it's going to be!

Thank you mate!

Thank you :)

Do you play orks by any chance? ;)

@@epicflail40ktactics lol close, Black Templars! And in early days of playing that's exactly how I deployed. I definitely learned some of these lessons the hard way

Haha indeed some of the most valuable lessons are the painful ones!

@@itwassean as a black templar's player, I too have learned those lessons. A Land Raider isn't quite the bunker one presumes.

So thaaaats what I’ve been doing wrong and why I’m 1-5 in my warhammer history

Appreciate it!

Thanks!

Thank you

A plan is so important. A thing I see as a TO is people will tilt when playing a tough list before a dice is rolled. Instead of thinking about how they will approach the game they lose faith or panic and then start making mistakes in deployment.

Thanks 😁

Haha no way man magnus needs to be on the line every game ready to charge! Or is that angron? Same difference right?

@@epicflail40ktactics he does have a nasty habit of dropping dead to terminators 😬

No. But then that is exactly what I would say if I was using AI. I guess there is no way of knowing...

​@@epicflail40ktactics he's the Messiah!
