[@StumpfForFreedom]

​@@lovirux lol, or when you choose a colour scheme from one of the books that is largely grey and then you prime your models, then paint them back to how they looked before. :P

Step 4: Realize you don't have all the right models for your army, then buy more models

[@chadnine3432]

How about a video where someone puts together a detachment, showing how to use roles and spend points and buy options and all that.

This, as a 6th edition player the detachment system is very confusing for me returning to 40k. It has put me off getting back into it on 3 ocassions now.

just started 1 month ago (Used to watch my friend brothers play when we were younger and was amazed how deep the game looked to be like)... between models, paints etc... let say you dont go far with 200 canadian $$. In a way it aint a bad thing as a new player as it giving me time to really think about the way I wanna go with my army and learn how my units work.. Veterans may not remember it but trust me this game is actually a massive burden of knowledge when you first get into it

[@Headywon]

@@thebrokenmask8304 I stopped in 4th and came back in 8th and it was much easier to learn 8th/9th edition than it was to learn 3rd/4th (although there were certainly less unit options back then). Plus now there's no scatter dice, no blast templates, no "haha you only have infantry left so you can't wound my tanks" BS... it's sooooo much better now. I love it so much now that I stopped playing card and video games (MtG isn't fun and video games feel like a waste of time when I have painting to do) and now the only things I do in my free time are 40k-related.

[@nlangelus]

i'm happy when the 9th edition codexes come out and you can use the Warhammer App to have the updated rules. What was said @13:30 is added in the errata of 13-7-20 with Knight Lances on page 106 of the Imperial Knight Codex. (also applies to Chaos of course) ‘If your Warlord has the Imperial Knights keyword, Imperial Knights Super-heavy Detachments in your army gain the following Command Benefits: ‘Select one of the following: +3 Command Points if your Warlord is part of this Detachment; +6 Command Points if your Warlord is part of this Detachment and has the Titanic keyword.’

[@TheSaultiest]

The best use of the auxillary support I think is to include a flyer. If you need 3 fliers you'll need 2 detachments, and i guess you could take a patrol but then you need the HQ and troop choice.

[@Headywon]

AFAIK auxiliaries don't get access to faction keywords or benefits; I can't run 3 Doom Scythes in Sautekh Dynasty to gain access to the FKNMELTALLYOURINFANTRY (forgot the real name) Stratagem if I put one of them in an auxiliary. The removal of Air Wing really sucks for Doom Scythes; I haven't really been able to get them to work in any of my 9th Ed lists at all, whereas I ran an Air Wing of them all the time in 8th.

[@TheSaultiest]

@@Headywon Do you know where i can find that in the rulebook? I don't see it mentioned in the detachment area.

[@Headywon]

@@TheSaultiest Page 246: "Every Codex lists a set of abilities that units in a Detachment gain if every unit in that Detachment is from a specified Faction. Units in Auxiliary Support Detachments, Super-heavy Auxiliary Detachments and Fortification Network Detachments never gain any Detachment abilities, even if every unit in that Detachment is from the Faction specified." - "Auxiliary Support, Super-heavy Auxiliary and Fortification Detachments never gain Detachment abilities."

[@Ainalom]

Could you please make a beginner video on what kinds of things you need when you build a list? What are some examples of roles that need to be filled and how they can be used on the table? What are the strengths to having say alot of tanks vs having alot of fast attack? Is it good to have a balance? I know this might go into tactics but I struggle with knowing what I should be putting in my list! Great videos guys, very helpful and I hope to see more in the future! It's been very welcoming and very thorough and i appreciate it. I have no idea what to add to my Idomitus box and theres a ton of options !

[@aaronsilva1960]

Well, if you have an indominus box, then you have access to space Marines and necrons. Either way, indominus only gives you one troops choice for each army, so you'll want to get 2 more troop choices. Space Marines have a ton of troop choices available, though if you're looking to be very competitive, you should stick with intercessors. Keep in mind that you can run 5 man squads of intercessors, so one box gets you all the troops you'll need. If you're building up necrons, you only have one troop choice other than warriors (gw really favors space Marines in terms of new models) which would be Immortals. I'm not a necron player, but I believe you can run two squads of 5 immortals, which again means you only need 1 box to get there. The reason why I'm suggesting you get 2 more troop choices is so that you can make a battalion, which is the most flexible detachment available. However, from there, you can really do whatever you want. Battalions have 3 slots for fast attack and heavy support, and 6 slots for elites. Just get models you like and want to build/paint, and you shouldn't have much trouble working them into your army. I'm not really the best person to ask if you want to be super competitive, bit if you're just playing pickup games with your friends, this advice should serve you well. If you want to know which models are "good", I would urge you to check out 1d4 chan or reddit, as I'm sure they could help you better than I can.

[@Colton_T]

Having a lot of fast attack can help with contesting and holding objectives early game whereas running a lot of tanks can help with getting a lot of firepower at the expense of pushing objectives so a balance of both is good

[@dnaseb9214]

Pick the Chaos Space Beastmen and never look back Yes we have very few units. But we have everything that matters. Spam Chaos Beastmen as your troop choice. Use Tzeengors on flying disks as your fast attack. Pestigors for your tanky option. Khorngors for your elite anti-infantry choice. And my personal favorites Slangors as your big boys. Your opponent will surrender before the might of the beasts, knowing you are the Superior man. Alternatively, convert a entire army of CSM into Beastmen. If you want that competitive edge.

[@JasonRobards2]

9:50 I know we are already at tenth, but as a 3rd edition player browsing the new rules at ninth, the way these (very core) rules were phrases confused me to no end. It was obvious what was intended, but despite the verbosity of the rules, it still left them open to the very weird interpretation that you could take almost any model with in almost any detachment a SM tactical squad within your IG army, for example. This couldn't be right... but I also heard GW wanted to make 40k army lists very "open". Why GW left this (very central) rule so open to this very general interpretation baffles me. Thank you for clearing this up, but it still leaves me puzzled: where is this clarification written down? Or is it people just agreed to because the other interpretation is just a bit silly?

[@Sklertic]

I mainly play daemons and this new way of building your army is not ideal for the way our codex handles detachments and the bonuses derived from them. I hope a new codex is coming soon, as mono god lists really isn't my jam :) Good video none-the-less!

[@funnycreature2331]

I've got a friend who plays nurgle deamons and with blast rules he can't really do his usual list, I've reccomended more obscure ways i.e. Run mainly cavalry or vehicles.

[@Sklertic]

The problem is that the rules in the codex gives out bonuses for detachments containing units from 1 specific god, so you can't mix and match your forces, thus you're forced to make several detachments, which will drain your cp. It's a rather big detriment to an army that is also hit hard by the blast rule and overall isn't very competitive :)

Hey! Thank you for the tutorial! I have a question: So I have two models that I love and want to build a up to ~1000pt army around them. Magnus the red, and Keeper of secrets. So I am thinking about doing a supreme command detachment and a patrol detachment. My supreme command would only include Magnus, (because I can not add anything else, right?) and Keeper of secrets would be an HQ of the Patrol. I'd just buy two units of daemonettes and maybe throw in something else worth 180 pts. Would that count as a battleforged/viable army?

Or do I always have to grab Grazghul for a legal ork list? 2) When it says troop units, it means the one model, and not a squad coorrect?

[@cassiuskhan2465]

​Bois I gotta question: Can warptime be cast on a unit after a unit enters from reserve. In the movement part of core rules it doesn't forbid it.

[@Headywon]

AFAIK yes you can do that and in fact *SHOULD* do that. The only issue I can find is possibly the way the rules for reinforcements are worded, "Reinforcement units cannot make a Normal Move, Advance, Fall Back or Remain Stationary in the *turn* they arrive for *any reason* ..." Warptime is worded "That unit can immediately move *as if it were its Movement phase* ." And the out-of-phase rules state "If such a rule explicitly mentions to do so *as if it were a different phase* than the current one, then any rules that are normally used in that phase apply..." It is a bit vague the way they worded all of that but I still think that you can do it.

[@roryday4]

In 8th edition this was FAQ'd that a unit couldn't move at all after arriving from reserves, as far as I'm aware the intention is for this to remain the same

[@raymondbenjamins5884]

@@Headywon Based on that wording, I'd say you can't do that. Warptime would make it act like the Movement phase, so the Movement phase rules apply, which means you can't do anything, because the Normal Move, Advance, Fall Back and Remain Stationary actions can't be used in that turn.

[@xenoserum]

I'm still confused with battle forged in match play... mainly for unaligned stuff...

Sorry new to the game, but for the rule of three. Say for instance i want to take 6 primaris intercessors, they can't all be the same right? But if I equipped 3 one way and another 3 differently does that work? Or am I misunderstanding the whole rule lol

[@Colton_T]

The rule is that you can only include the same unit 3 times per army list with the exceptions of troops e.g. assault intercessors, and dedicated transports e.g. a rhino

[@johnbrennan6321]

Question, for the dice re roll stratagem. Do you reroll all dice or just the ones you want?

[@miniwargaming]

That depends. If it is a roll that requires 2 dice, such as charge rolls, psychic tests, or deny the witch, you must reroll both dice. Otherwise you can only reroll one hit, wound, or saving throw. The easiest way to remember this is that all rules are written assuming you’ll resolve attacks one at a time. If you roll 50 attacks together and then use the stratagem, you only get to reroll one of those because they are 50 individual hit rolls, not one hit roll that is 50 dice.

[@darkswords147]

So when building an army do you need to consider both points and power level with detatchment limits at the same time .

The entire army has to share a faction keyword, and the units in any given detachment within your army must also share a faction keyword (which doesn’t have to be the same keyword being shared between detachments). Example, I could have an army that is two Battalion detachments of Space Marines. So these two detachments will share the keyword “Adeptus Astartes” and share the “Imperium” keyword as well. But I could then have either specific Battalion detachment being their own Space Marine Chapter, ie: Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Iron Hands, etc., or I could even have both detachments being from the same Chapter. If I do that, I go from having an “Adeptus Astartes” army to being an army of a specific Space Marines Chapter, because all detachments in my army are of the same chapter.

@@Velnix21 Thank you that is very helpful. What does it mean when it says the Faction keyword in common cannot be Chaos, Imperium, Aeldary, Ynnari, or Tyranids? Does this mean if I have two detachments, one Imperial Guard and the other Space marines, that this is illegal because the only keyword they have in common is Imperium?

[@Velnix21]

@@ssvishnov The "cannot be Imperium, Chaos, Tyranids, etc." rule is only for the specific detachments within your army. The detachments are allowed to share those keywords, like your example Imperial Guard and Space Marines are able to be ran as a "Imperium" army. The other thing is specifically for Space Marine Chapters, is that they have these other buffs called Doctrines that they can only use if the entire army is only Space Marines. On top of that, most of the Space Marines Chapters also have their own Chapter specific "Super Doctrines" that can only be used if the entire army is from the same specific Space Marines Chapter.

All units in your army have to share a keyword and all units must be in detachments

Just realized that the requirement to bring a dedicated transport is one per Infantry unit. All this time I thought it was one per troop unit. God I feel stupid now

Did the give away ever announce winners?

Play a few games borrowing some minis - most seasoned 40k players have more than 1 army. Make sure you like the game first before investing hundreds of dollars, and more importantly many hours building an army...

[@raymondbenjamins5884]

This. If you already know someone that plays, there's a good chance you can just play a few games with them using their armies before spending a lot of money just to find out if you like the game. Most people would be more then happy to introduce you to the game.

Anyone know why the selection at GW Canada is so poor? It feels like basically everything is out of stock

[@miniwargaming]

COVID-19. :) Seriously, it has affected GW's and many other companies' abilities to maintain their normal supply chain.

Yeah I feel u

Can I put a Squad of Pink Horrors in a Thousand Sons detachment and still get all the benefits?
