I grew up playing 2nd ed. Got back into 40k in the last couple of years now my son is of age to play. Subconsciously I have come up with quite a similar system to play with him because full fat 10th ed 40k is a bit much, and combat patrol is great but a bit samey if you've only got a handful of patrols. Plus my son loves to use his tanks! Will definitely give this a go. Cheers!

very nice. Hope you get some wyches for xmas and can do a video about them!

1: pain token (at least 1) 2: cp (2) 3: a raider at the rigth place at the right time 4: nightmare shroud if that occurs, something of really high value will just evaporate, there is nearly no way to screw it up...but getting to this point can be really finicky

Does OPR send bots to comment on videos like this? There are multiple different accounts giving nearly identical comments promoting it.

I like 40k just the secondary objective switching messes with me.

Some great ideas here. Thank you for sharing.

I think this is the weirdest thing about 40k, despite its insane success as a franchise there is such little support for making smaller games accessible. Like the idea!

I just play poorhammer’s horde mode with my friends or one page rules

Great ideas - definitely a pain point for 40k

Or u could try opr

As a historical gamer I don’t understand 40K’s obsession with Objective Points. I would bin them entirely and replace them with a Mission, which is the sole reason for your Space Marines, Slanesh or whatever to be on the battlefield. Two example missions: 1) Recover a data crystal lost in a crash. 2) Slaughter all the mutants in an infected colony.

Just play OPR it's quicker than this video 😜

I want to try this I think

graaaaant

You guys should try Alternate 40k Rules, it's a good amalgamation of most editions ironed out

So people are telling yoy that the game lacks flavour. You don't agree. Fair enough. Why are they saying this?

This sounds fun. Until you have to play in a tournament and you haven’t practiced secondaries.

Or you could just play One Page Rules...

Another way to freshen things up: Play with alternating activations. My son and I have been doing this for about four months and have never been tempted to go back to the official way to do it. We just superimpose the two turns in each battle round, so first we determine who has the initiative (the winner of the turn one roll off). Then it's the command phase where we alternate doing orders (Guard), Oath of Moment, Waagh and so on. Then in the movement phase we alternate moving our units. We start by counting how many units we each have that could do something, then is one side has at least double the number of the other, that side will be activating two units a time. We then decided to change the order of the phases a little to give melee armies a chance, so after movement (and reinforcements) comes charges then fighting and then shooting. We mark activated units with little tokens and you are allowed to activate a unit to do nothing. This way of playing obviously alters the balance of the game, but it is still recognizably 40K, and we like it a lot.

I like this quick play idea! I don't like Detachments, it seems they are (in game marketing) to get people buying more models to fit a Detachment. We just use Faction Stratagems as a list and pick 4,5,6 Faction Stratagems each and it turns out more skill involved in choosing what Faction Stratagems will work with your list!

That Plz Stay moment got me ngl 😂 I've been making One Page Rules content for ages so I haven't had many games of 10th with any flavour of Aeldari, I am getting curious again though...

nah just play an older edition

I just tried learning 10th Ed recently on Table Top Simulator. Which Leaning TTS is exhausting in its self, but while also learning 40k it made my head like it was gonna explode with all the info i had to take in. I think if i wanted to learn 40k, id do it in chucks of first just learning how unites and models move, shoot and fight with no special abilities or tricks, and only having to do basic Primary missions with no Secondary's. then build up to have secondary's, and slowly using more of my army faction rules. Although it might a be a bit boring at first at least ill get the basics down and be able to have fun rolling more dice a bit later. im still new so idk if this would be reasonable but i think it would of helped me more to learn this way thank to info dump me with everything.

Hi, that is a really nice idea! I totally understand your point. I came back to the hobby since about a year or so and I only played two games in WH40K so far. First because I had to completely reorganize my army from the 90s. Then I have got really confused about the way 40K works today. All those stuff you have to add on the fly and remind yourself to. So many exceptions and trigger you have to be aware of. I have to admit, my last games before that were in 2nd and 3rd edition rule sets. Yes, there was also a lot to keep in mind, but it felt different. It was somewhat more clear what to expect from a unit and from enemies. Fortunately I found a gaming club near my place. Unfortunately they only play WTC rules. So any narrative plays do not happen and they are relatively strict regarding the terrain placement. Maybe I can convince someone to use the system you have introduced in the video? I will at least try :) Thanks for the idea! Have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Thanks for watching all! and have a very merry Christmas! I'll be back in the new year with Tanks and Gas Masks, and Shovels... Trenching Shovels!

I’d rather just play one page rules.

Ah yes, the ole Eldar Bullshittery strategy!

My Grav-cannons say, 'wassup!'

Any chance of Sexy Bird BOATS!?!

I really think they are a noob trap. Sure, they do a little bit better into vehicles statistically, but they are way worse than dark lances against everything else.

My favorite weapons. Too specific and if you face monsters is useless but still very good.

Glad I found this channel. As someone who finds 40K a bit intimidating I would love to see more of these army review videos from you. Graphics or pictures to compare good and bad situations, positioning, etc would also be extremely helpful

Would love to see more videos like this for Drukhari

if i remember correctly devastating only triggers on a natural 6

🙀🙀🙀

Ha, love the cat

Great video, I’m just starting to collect and paint these sato-pirates and appreciate the insights. Always wanted them and happy to get going

I’ve seen that there’s a new Detachment for the drukhari - I’ll post a short review later next week!

Great video. I always assume that if I leave anything outside of cover or within melee threat range, it isn’t going to be there next turn.

Nice video and editing. I don't think I've seen a review done like this that gives examples of strat combos and that, very informative well done.

Toasters made me think of Battlestar Galactica... but I love the stuff you've painted, and this was a nice summary for the Deldar (/aubergine space pirates)

Great stuff, keep it up! Are they THE hardest to play with?

Don't be afraid to call them Drukhari! Let those stuck in the past stay there. ;) Another great video my man, I really love the channel!

Great video 🥳

What about using clear perspex rods to mount your flyers?

Great video again, really like the style of them and you're a fantastic painter. Makes me want to get myself an airbrush. :D I'd vote Scourges next! Also drukhari drukhari drukhari

I beg you call them Dark Eldar..... I don't know, nor care who came up with this new name for them in GW but all I can think about is whose line isit anyway whenever I hear it. PLEASE STOP XD.

Your forest spray painting has covered many of the trees! You should use more greens!

Colour schemes and method are purely the purview of the creator and no criticism there. But I got to say that anyone who thinks a unit is table top ready when they have not defined the skin tone from the armour must really hate painting, your comment at 3.27 time stamp. But pushing on from that the job is a gooden.
