The bad habits sabotaging your games 

This is why I play with Declared Intent. "I am moving this model here, my intent is to try and not be seen when you move, can you mark your furthest movement please?" "I am moving here, I am planning on using the grenade strat then charging"

My opponents and I always ask each other what our abilities are and stratagems. And during the game I tell them my intentions with each interaction.

Yes... my most regular opponent has often heard me simply state, "Mistakes were made." Pain can be a great teacher.

As a fairly new player I just ask what there army’s shtick is. For the most part everyone has been good at giving me a breakdown of what there detachment/units do and how they play, but as you say, all the information you could want to know about an army is easily searchable.

Okay, WOW, i just discovered this channel and now is my FAVOURITE 40k tactics one :D Keep them comming!!! As for intent, i try to alvays voice my intent when playing and also i have a tendency of saying all of my army gatcha moments and constantly reminding my opponent about them during play "hey remember if you do this i can react with this". I would love to see various game formats covered here (etc, gw, wtc and all of that). Youve earned a subscriber and a supporter my friend :)

Start of the game I tend to ask what their enhancements, stratagems and army rule do, and I clarify weapon choices on units (plasma or bolter inceptors?). The rest I ask as a relevant part of the game comes around - so on the attacker/defender roll off, if I win I ask about units with infiltration or scouting rules. As they deploy a unit, I might ask about gun range if I’m unsure. I also ask them what their intent is when they finish moving a unit and I clarify my own on my moves.

I agree with you on a lot of things. This is the reason why we should play different types of armies against because sometimes you don't know what they're special rules are that detachments there stratagems. On casual play you can be a little kg and try new things. But if you're looking to go to a tournament and perform well I got it you know no one wants to go to a tournament and lose all the games. But play an army and units you understand and pay attention to what other armies can do as more and more codecs come out for these armies it's going to be confusing could you going to have several different attachments and they're going to have different enhancements and stratagems. And if someone pulls out a strategy you didn't know about won't get mad about it learn from your mistakes Don't argue that that's too powerful or to sneaky. The only issue I have with all the stratagems and stuff that you find only in the books is that you're hoping the player that you're playing against is doing it right I played against somebody who was playing old rules that were an addition or two older but still playing them like it was still there and I called them out on like three things in a game going that's how it works and the only reason why that happened is because I went into the shop and opened up the book and read it.

Good video! Most intent purists will try to throw shade at you for calling these things out, but they're just cold hard facts.

There's a way you said a word here, in a way I've not heard since my army days!! Made me smile

I’m not a huge fan of the example. It’s one thing to make sloppy moves where you overextend your units and didn’t check distance or LOS. I think the problem is much worse when you apply all the out of phase nonsense we have now. It’s totally different imo if you expose a unit to take a shot or something and they say “ok I’m going to spend one cp to teleport away/make myself untargetable/etc” now your exposed your unit for nothing and I’m going to pick it up. These are the gotcha moments I think are worth talking about when talking about take backs and intent.

I find this happening when I play my world eaters at tournaments, I have a unconventional world eaters army that actually shoots well,

Look, sometimes i let people know what they just did is a bad idea. Im here for fun, i just happen to win most of the time.

I have a decent amount of characters, so always ask about Ranged Precision weapons.

Cool video

Agreed

The man on the Thumbnail looks like the chairman of one of the biggest German political Parties, Friedrich Merz from the CDU💀

Aren't bad habbits sabotaging your games brilliant? (Sorry, im running out of Fast Show lines).

I am not a fan of giving away my details outside of the essentials. Units are explained by role Army rule and detatchment is stated. Enhancements are explained. Stratagems can be read en detail on demand but I will not give away the application.

Before you say no~ you need to be aware that we are playing a game with painted miniatures , and there are a lot of things on the table… although I would not suggest that there is a possibility that something could happen to the table or you nice looking pieces… Plz play nicely or the fine miniatures might dicide to fly away~
