First Game of 40K! Chaos Space Marines vs Ultramarines. Warhammer 40k in 40m.

Nick is playing Ultramarines? Play On's "ball of energy" teaches Warhammer 40K to a friend and first time player of the game. In this fun and furious Combat Patrol game we get to relive the excitement of picking up 40k for the first time.
This game features a unit of Veil-touched Valkyrs and Asalian Marauders from Ravaged Star: Armies of the Veil-touched. Back the project so you too can have these incredible miniatures in your force. gamefound.com/projects/miniwa...

[@SoftSpott]

I love this!! As a girl who's also just getting into playing 40k after watching these for a few years, we need more women in the hobby!

[@PlayOnTabletop]

Agreed!

[@bisine]

I agree tho I have seen some posts of people gatekeeping so i will add that if you see this kinda stuff, call them out on it! warhammer for everyone!

[@Sollapoke]

@@bisine everyone. Except from Nazi’s, racists, homophobes, gatekeepers and misogyonists. 👍

[@SoftSpott]

@PersonOf Color I know lots of women like Stacey, who would really have fun and get into the dark aesthetic & gameplay if the space was more welcoming. Unfortunately, when the hobby is 95-99% dominated by men, and there isnt representation for women on channels like Play On, it doesnt give an heir of welcomeness to us. Additionally, there are some who try to actively gatekeep the hobby. Not all, but they do exist, even if its subconscious like when guys say "women dont like this game." When its clear they can get into it and do enjoy it. I think a demographic so heavily slanted toward one group shows more than just "oh every single girl hates this game." Because just like men, women can all like different things.

[@Max-sz9ez]

@@SoftSpott yes and no. @PersonOf Color is actually partially right. One problem is that the community can be very bad for women since we sadly have quite a large amount of incels and "nice" guys in the 40 k community (they are also in the DnD community but since that game became kinda mainstream over the last few years it is not as bad) who actively gatekeep or are just acting all creepy towards women who try to join the hobby. I have seen some of this in my local hobby store when we had a girl who wanted to get started with her gorgeously painted Orks and it seriously wasn't fun to watch ... we still sometimes meet up to play privately but she has never returned to that shop and for a good reason. If this situation were to improve I do think that a lot more women would be open to try their hand at warhammer. The second problem is that once again contrary to dnd you can't just easily get into 40 k. The barrier of entry is extremely high with GW charging an arm and a leg for a few models (and everything is getting even more expensive lately), you also needing to purchase everything you need to paint and you need a codex. All of which also isn't cheap. Combine the pretty steep price you need to pay to get started with a community that at first glance appears unfriendly to women and you know why this is a very male dominated hobby. And let's be honest unless you exclusively play with your own friend group in private sessions you will sooner or later meet "that guy" ... we sadly all do.

[@lawrences1347]

Look forward to seeing Stacy back with her own army in a few months. Looks like she's hooked.

[@FireRevanShadow]

Nice to see some marines vs marine games and as a first game it makes sense. Both the space marines and chaos marine (I wonder if playon is using leaked info for this game?) are similar in power. My first game was me playing 8th edition tau versus 9th edition necrons. I did not win. but still had fun and I think that is the most important thing for a new person is to have fun in their first game. April 1st may have come and gone but my call for Space Marine Steve vs Chaos Marine Steve in a mustache narrated by Steve shall continue!

[@samcarson5936]

Stacey was playing csm renegade chapters here. Definitely the most fun legion trait for a first game. So not quite new rules but im excited to see what they are. Also, my first game was 8th ed csm vs guard, lost my first game too, really don't like demolisher cannons but the game was really fun which is definitely the most important

[@Skuttlems]

So great to see new players getting into the hobby, especially when they seem to be having so much fun! Great game guys : )

[@DJROCKSTAZ]

Well, well, well! Usually I expect top-tier players from PlayOn's content, but it's quite refreshing to see an unseasoned commander try their hand at the battlefields of the 42nd Millennium! I still remember my first game of 40K like it was yesterday. I was walking around a Warhammer store in Ocala and there was nobody but a store clerk and me. I saw that the store had some armies from both 40K and AOS in a large display case. These weren't for sale, but when I timidly asked if I could try a round of AOS with some of the models, the clerk was nice enough to let me. The next week, I was back, as he'd promised me a round of 40K. So it happened: he offered me a choice between Salamanders and Custodes. I took the Salamanders, and he chose the Custodes. 400 points for both of us. The mission? Kill each other! Even though I hadn't played a game of 40K in my life before, many, many viewings of this channel's batreps and the d4chan wiki on the game made sure I knew what I was in for: a melee army that was as tough as a tank and hit just as hard in melee. So, knowing this, I purposefully selected the Salamanders. If there was one thing the Salamanders loved, it was melta, and I knew if i was gonna kill even one Custodian, I'd need guns better aimed at tanks than infantry...because our points limit was too small for massed dakka. So I chose a unit of 3 Eradicators each armed with a multi-melta(some hospitality on the part of my opponent, so I was cool, for those of you complaining only one Eradicator gets a multi-melta), 3 Bladeguard Veterans(felt bad about consigning such an powerful unit to be cannon fodder, but I knew I needed to make ABSOLUTELY SURE the Custodes didn't get into my Eradicators's faces, so I needed a tough unit), Incursors(had some points left over, so I thought I could use the extra melta rifles), and Adrax Agatone as my warlord(definitely my worst choice: A great beatstick, but no synergy otherwise, and I definitely didn't want to give my enemy Slay the Warlord for free. But I was forced to work with what I had available, and I did want a named character for fun reasons). It was a blast-I somehow managed to one-turn a ALLARUS TERMINATOR-in OVERWATCH, no less; and I was able to even wipe Custodian Guard-in melee, mind you- with my ERADICATORS, of all people(Man, I was laughing so hard when I did it-I thought I'd lost the game for sure.) In the end though, a slightly bruised Trajan charged my Eradicators and I immediately declared Overwatch, SOMEHOW KILLING HIM IN THE PROCESS! Nevertheless, it'll be amazing to watch Stacy's progress as she grows into a more experienced commander, and I cant wait to see what army she'll choose! EDIT: Realized I'd gotten the ending wrong. Trajan had actually gotten into melee with my Eradicators and he was so low on health I managed to knock his lights out with some lucky rolls. So I punched one of the best beatsticks in 40K to death with a unit that wasn't supposed to be anywhere near melee..WOW.

Love to see stories like this! Thanks for sharing.

[@DJROCKSTAZ]

@@PlayOnTabletop Anytime! Is Stacey going for a Slaanesh army?

[@Max-sz9ez]

That was so fun to watch! And Stacy definitely has to play World Eaters as her faction of Chaos Marines.

They are both balls of energy! Stacy is awesome, charming, nautrally nerdy (she went 'pew pew pew'), and genuine. Also, as a Canadian every time I hear something distinctly Canadian I get the warm and fuzzys and Stacys' "Oh, Okay" at 10:28 is so freakin' Canadian. Nick is a nice guy, when he plays with kids or new players I honestly feel like he wants to win, but he wants them to have a good time more.

[@jackhogan8771]

[@BadandMadMartin]

Really fun episode! I don't know you managed to contain the energy from both players and keep the building standing. And that chaos space marine with the plasma pistol deserves a daemonhood. Spoilers: I'm imagining him just cooly firing off his overcharged shots at the charging landspeeder before turning his back as it crashes to the ground behind him.

[@TheStaceyRoy]

[@zappybaloo]

I 1000% remember my 1st game of 40K it was my 9th birthday in 2008 and it was amazing and what 40k means to me is having fun with playing the army ( tau) that I spent hours building and Painting

[@gaberobison680]

Personally 40k lore was what my drumline captain would regale me with back in freshman year in high school. At that point it was by FAR the most metal thing I’d ever heard of. I’d always been a reader so I starting reading Horus Heresy and man the authors are exceptional! I truly felt like I was watching super humans who fundamentally don’t relate to us normals. The primaries felt truly divine and the amount of biblical allusions was wonderful! It’s still such a metal series and I love universes so big that you can make your own stories in your head and there’s a good chance it happened somewhere!!

[@Raithor83]

All the Play On videos are awesome, but this one was especially great to watch as a brand new player. Thanks to your videos I now have 90 Cadians, some tanks, and a couple manticores all waiting for my paints to arrive in the mail (yay batch painting?). Looking forward to hooking up with some folks here in Nova Scotia and getting into 40k.

I've been watching a couple videos now because I'm just getting into 40k. I've consumed a lot of lore, I convinced a friend to start the tabletop game with me. But I've been having a bit of a hard time following along in games. They're cool to watch for sure, but when everything happens so fast and rules and stuff are almost glossed over to keep everything moving it gets really difficult for a new prospective player to follow. I really appreciated this video because it did a good job of keeping action fast, tensions up, and still explain every move that was going on and I really felt invested in the game actually knowing what was going on. I hope you guys have done/will do more like this

See in 2nd Ed, Guard got a 'preliminary bombardment' which dropped a battle cannon shells on you opponent b4 the game started, you got 1 plus an an additional 1 for every comm-link (which were restricted to command squads) and every tank in the army, routinely at 2000 points you dropped 8 before the game started, I used to watch enemy armies vanish pre-turn 1 then each vox let you call in an additional artillery strike each go if you passed a leadership test, combined with the tank reserve rules, combined arms at its finest!
