This was the most "Welcome to the game, get f*cked by dice!" intro to the game I've ever seen and I love it. Lol Didn't touch on placing models for larger battles or picking game modes/ missions, but probably the best bare bones intro there is for the time.

@FentonSteele 11 дней назад

I finally understand WH40k. Always thought it was some needlessly complex RTS game and I couldn't figure out how that would translate to dice rolls. Video really made everything click into place. Now I want to play it.

My only question after watching this is once a number of wounds are determined, who decides how they are distributed between the models? The attacker or defender?

Finally a video that actually explains in an easy to understand way. Thanks for this. I tried watching the official Warhammer videos and other tutorials but this is the first time where it's actually being explained in a way I can follow

I really like this system of starting with many dices then taking off the failures after many throws until you end up with the number of hits.

first time watching how its played but they really should make quick reference cards so we can easily compare between attacks and defense. maybe a blank magnet card where we can stick a quick weapon vs defense between the matchups and also a dice roll counter to keep track of the rolls. what i see is alot of memory and writeups required to keep track of everything.

I've never played warhammer 40k and understand that it is an expensive hobby if you want amazing battles. Having said this, I have a question for all the veterans. I have the 9e core book and can get a couple of 8e codex for free if I want them. Is it possible to play the game this way? I will never play in an official tournament or whatever and will only be playing with friends and family that has never played before. I just want to know if it is possible to do without much of a headache. Also, if possible, does anyone have any suggestions?

What are command points

@sanakhtthefatetwister9116 2 года назад

@@rookhousestudios3686 Your army starts with a certain number of Command Points (CP, small games usually have 3), and you can spend CP to use Stratagems which add another layer of tactical depth to the game. Perhaps you failed an important armour save, you could spend a Command Point to reroll that save, there's also a Stratagem called Fire Overwatch which lets you shoot at an enemy unit when it tries to charge you. Every different faction has their own unique list of Stratagems available too.

Fresh this is complex. Of course I’ve been gaming for decades. But this is crazy. How about an App that you just input attacker defender and get immediate result?

I’ve been collecting for 10+ years and have a ridiculous amount of models but never played.

Sorry to hear that you never got play mate. Just be bold and go for it, you're missing out on tons of fun (though the painting is fun too :-) ) If you dont feel you are ready to go up against other players yet in your local GS then just take a few hours a week or less or however much time you are willing to invest, sit yourself down with the rules and play a few games by yourself (or with some friends or family) until you get a bit of grasp on the basic game. I promise you, you wont be dissapointed once you get the hang of it. It's a great game. Good Luck mate.
