HOW TO PLAY WARHAMMER 40K 9th EDITION - Complete Beginners Guide - The Core Rules

[@jorybgaming940]

Coming back the game after a 20 year hiatus. And this is by far the best and most easy to follow tutorial on KZbin for 40k game play. Thanks!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

That's awesome, glad it was helpful, and welcome back! Thanks for watching 👊

[@sexyhandsnightman3216]

Same man - haven’t touched it since 98 lol

[@BB-pn2qv]

Absolutely amazing accomplishment here, man. Really. In under an hour, the best guide there is to start.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks so much! I'll be doing a similar version for AoS later this month once my Gitz are painted up.

[@RavensEagle]

15:30 holy shit never would I imagine seeing a Japanese translated Datasheet Wow thanks eyes has opened

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

A lot of icons on those data sheets, definitely prefer the book versions 🤣

[@RevansMinion]

This is by far the BEST video to cover things, the visual aids are SO amazing. Thank you very much.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks so much!

[@brianmurphy8304]

As someone who is new to the game, your video really helped me understand the basics. Thank you!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Hey that's awesome to hear, thanks Brian!

[@andrewlopez9697]

This was absolutely amazing it really was hard for me to just grasp the basics but me and a friend slowly watched and played a game while we were rewinding back and forth for both of our turns and we played the whole game without help it may have taken a while but still thank you so much for helping me and my friend get our first game in your the best

[@seanw6815]

I think every gw game I’ve learned in the past two years I’ve basically learned from your videos, so much clearer than the rulebook themselves. Fine work

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks so much, that's cool of you to say. Really pleased the videos have been helpful.

[@dystonftw]

Fantastic! Thanks for making the hobby more approachable by providing killer content for us to share with those interested in starting!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Hey thanks so much!

[@SwirlBridger]

Great video. I could not find the follow up Battle Report where you bring it all together with a slow time walk through of Only War

[@RageDuck0]

This video is a wonderful resource. I just find it funny playing imperial knights since i have to basically ignore half the movement rules like climbing or the unit rules

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Great to hear, thanks for watching!

[@noprobllama9747]

A great resource on how to play. As always, love the clear descriptions visual aids, arrows and images.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Great to hear, thanks you!

[@hammanhouse]

I love your videos like this. Your How to Play Kill Team series was huge to learn the game and I am excited to see you succeed here too on the 9th edition rules!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

That's awesome to hear, thank you!

[@paulmaloney585]

Really good video. Great overview to remind me how to play after a long break

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Glad it was helpful, thank you for watching!

[@biggc181]

the arrows and crosses on sticks are adorable.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Haha thanks, Cas, they get a lot of love in the comments for these how to play series 🤣

[@BB-pn2qv]

Would love to see you cover the types of play like you did with Kill Team

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I'll definitely be adding to the series as I learn more about the game. My local game store has started holding meet ups now so can't wait to get lots of games in!

[@johnhancock8236]

awesome Lee, love your vids been watching since your Space Wolves challege

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks so much, John!

[@CaptainJWesker]

Nice video, well done and I liked the cheap effects with artiws on sticks etc. I think I prefer that to digital aftereffects. It's strange how noticble undrilled barrels are,

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks, glad you liked it! I really should drill those barrels. 🤣

[@rickokain3853]

Thank you so much, this is amazingly concise and thorough

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

[@MartynStanleyAuthor]

Thanks for putting this together. It's a great guide!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

[@MartynStanleyAuthor]

@@tabletopskirmishgames I used to play 4th edition decades ago. I’ve just put together two armies from my old bits and bobs so I can play with the kids. Rules and codexes are on order, we have Bjorn + 10 x Wolfguard Terminators (2x assault cannon, 1 x thunder hammer, 1x power axe and about 5 storm shields) and 10x intercessors vs Hive Tyrant, Carnifex, Lictor and about 12x Tyranids warriors, 3x with bones swords, one with venom cannon, 2 with devourers and the rest with death spitters. Not sure which is the better side, they are both around 760 points I think? We’ll play it then maybe add something new to take us to 1000 points. 🙂

[@MrJameslupien]

It's been 10 minutes and there are already more rules then my brain can handle

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

🤣 It is a lot. Once you start playing a few games it makes a lot more sense.

[@davidjensen4875]

best guide. i use it everytime i play with new people❤

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Happy to hear that! Thanks so much.

[@brendanprice740]

Fantastic guide, super helpfull for beginners ! Thanks

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.

[@WARDUKE_USMC]

Awesome video. Thank you. Mind noting what colors you used on the Space Wolf bases and where you got those green dice?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks! The dice were pretty cheap from Amazon here: amzn.to/3S4rhQi You can see how I painted the bases here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGjRi2V7qsd0eKs

[@jasondunbar7434]

At 5:52 the order of mathematical operations is given incorrectly. Multiplication comes before division. This may not come into play in 40k but for some reason many KZbin tutorials are given with these out of order. Remember what you were taught as a child. Please excuse my dear aunt Sally. Parentheses, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction.

[@pointandshootvideo]

Well-explained! Thank you!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

That’s great to hear, thank you for watching!

[@jarvbricks7422]

I want to get back into WH 40k. Last version I played was the 3rd edition so this has been very helpful. I went into a warhammer shop the other day and they told me the 10th edition is coming out in 2023, should I buy the 9th or wait for the 10th edition first? I asked them in the shop but I think she realised that she’d just talked me into not spending £120 and subsequently started to back track. So I thought I’d get your independent opinion. Thank you for the great video 👍🏻

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

That's awesome, a good time to get back into the game with lots of cool things in the pipeline. 10th edition should be out around May-July. I would say get the free 9th Edition rules PDF as that's all you need to start playing. You definitely don't need the book or any of the starter sets for the rules. This how to play video is all based on the free PDF. (If you want extra rules early on, you can find them for free on Wahapedia anyway). If you have a gaming group or friends to play with, you only need one army to start with too; so the starter sets could be overkill. That said, when 10th edition is released, GW will put out a box set with the new rules book and two good sized armies. These sets are often the best value, and I like having the option of playing another army or having one to practice against. You could even swap the models or sell them to grow the army you'd rather play with. So I guess learn to play with the free rules now, then start building an army you like the look of with units you choose rather than the ones in the starter sets. The rules in 10th shouldn't deviate too much from 9th so learning to play now will not be time wasted. What army are you interested in building?

[@jarvbricks7422]

@@tabletopskirmishgames wow that was super helpful, thank you. 👍🏻

[@myrar8708]

thank you for doing this. I am getting in 40k but I see it is somewhat extensive if you take the core rules plus all codexes/supplements. Your guide makes me more enthousiastic though! Any plans to do Horus Heresy too?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks! Yes I’ve covered Horus Heresy. The how to play rules are on the channel too.

[@VinnieinChina]

the best guide ever!!

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks, Hernan!

[@slevinlaine]

Insanely helpful! Bless you mate!!! :)

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

That's awesome to hear, thank you!

[@Bingham15]

Afternoon mate, this came up last night. Can you shoot through a friendly unit, into an enemy unit in 40k? Surely thered be a -1hits?

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

As long as you have visibility and can draw Line of Sight and the target is eligible, you can shoot through your own units. No penalties.

[@Phatcaulk69]

Best intro video. Idiot proof. Very well done, thank you!

[@robertomanzoli1663]

Thank you for this amazing guide. I'm a beginner (a completely noob!!) and i just bought the recruit edition and i would like to buy the Command Edition to expand the units and to have terrain , building and so on.. Is it possible with this configuration start playng with a friend? Is there a minimum army? (with for example a minimun 500 or 1000 points). Thank you. Roberto.

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks Roberto! Really pleased it has been helpful. If you are playing for fun then any size army is ok. Most clubs will be 500 as a minimum. I really like the 1000 point size as you get to have a nice selection of units, but recommend starting small at 500 and then building up by adding a unit at a time that you like. Have fun!

[@Sturmhawke]

Any chance of you doing something like this for the Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game? Thanks

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

I've got Pelennor Fields and I should give it a go, but nothing planned just now.

[@JesterWhoHelps]

Can I have a slanesh imperial knight? Could I have orks with my guardsmen? How do I know what's OK to combine with? Thank you for the video I appreciate the tutorial very much

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Really pleased the video was helpful! The codex for each army will tell what units you can have. You can also find resources online for free with a quick google search like "free 40k codex rules" or Reddit is great too. You can proxy any models for units (as long as it fits in with any competition rules you are playing, and make sure the opponents know who is representing who). So for example, you could have Grot or Orks playing as Guardsmen with Astra Militarum codex rules but just be aware of base sizes etc. I think this is a fun way to build a unique army.

[@JesterWhoHelps]

@@tabletopskirmishgames thank you so much!!!! I am particularly interested in 'corrupted' imperial knights, I gotta do some research now to make sure it would fit! You earned a sub from me

[@tabletopskirmishgames]

Thanks for subbing!
