MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE!! this is the 4th time ive watched this video all the way through, while painting miniatures, its really helped me to get a solid grip on the rules system, maybe an advance or FAQ style one next, or faction specific rules breakdown. really appreciate the hard work you put into this. Also you have a much better presentation, personality, voice and vibe than alot of other similar channels i have come across, the british accent helps a tonne. thanks bro

[@BakerOrDie123]

As someone who's only been into warhammer for a few months, trying to learn 9th and now 10th. This makes it so much easier. So thank you very much for this breakdown.

Great video, your delivery was engaging and entertaining. Thanks for breaking down and tagging the second for easy browsing.

[@anthonywilliams5093]

Just played first game and wow! This video allows a new player like me to learn how to play a game of 40k! I bet I got some rules wrong along the way, but that can be corrected later when I play a game with a experienced player! My first game was a lot of fun, thanks!

[@PriMaLSunrise]

This is actually the best tutorial I’ve seen. I’ve already played a few games and this is still so useful in clarifying many of the rules. THANK YOU!

[@scottferguson7942]

I'm currently 24 minutes into the video & bro I needed to put you at .5 speed 😅 so many key words to remember & what means what 🤯 I'm brand new to 40k so yeah this definitely is alot 🤯

[@Demigodish4o3]

Hey, thank you so much for removing the static! I can now watch it without risking a seizure. It means a lot to me that you cared enough to do this ♡

[@BF4ClanTBS]

One tip for anyone like me just getting started I essentially played a bunch of games against myself to be able to go through the flow. Having this video playing and referencing it helped me understand the gameplay

[@raysymons532]

Good video explained the rules well, thank you

[@APettit24]

Super comprehensive and clear explanation of the rules. I'll be getting my gaming group to watch it as we plan to get into 40K with the advent of 10th edition. Thanks for all your hard work on the video.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Glad it could help

[@joshuachambers9302]

This is by far the best guide I've found for any game - video game and board game a like! Going to play my first game with my mates and they've played a few before so I thought I'd really get to know the game well and your video has delivered. I'm taking notes on what you've said in the video to take along that way I can keep up with the game. Thankyou so much!! This video is amazing (:

[@jakepainter9155]

Phenomenal Video, been trying to learn how to play for months and this really helped clear up some issues I had.

[@evileyeball]

Last time I played 40k Vehicles had Armour facings and wounding was a Strength Vs Toughness chart plus AP worked differently. I bet I could remember most of how to play 3rd-6th from memory if you asked me... Recently I've been doing kill team but some of my future hobby ideas take me in a direction that points toward potentially being able to do small games of big 40k and the algorythm served me your video.

[@r1ck5m1th]

Great video, Ron! Thanks muchly ❤ couple of D&D mates are fancying a bit of 40k and I played maybe 3 or 4 games during 8th and 9th ed. This has helped massively 💪

[@themandolorian1547]

Best turtorial for this game! Now I easily know how to play this game I will share this with my friends. Fantastic turtorial!

[@TheHonestWargamer]

Awesome, thank you!

[@enDARKenLoL]

In the engagement range section at 12:02, you state engagement range is defined as 1" horizontally, and 5" vertically. Then, in the charge phase example at 36:08, you state that the squad could not make the charge. Is this example a mistake? Making it to directly below them should constitute being within engagement range, making it possible to make a successful charge on a roll of 9+, or is it the case that you cannot declare the charge because the combined distance is >12" as per previous editions? (or some other oversight on my part?) Thanks for the incredibly detailed video, exciting to see the new edition coming together!

[@WordBadger]

I spotted this too. I think it's a mistake.

[@TheHonestWargamer]

It is a mistake. I was trying to show have to measure over terrain but messed it up

[@WordBadger]

@The Honest Wargamer that's cool man, I definitely appreciate what you're doing. It's interesting to see elements of the rules that translated over from 9th and what didn't. Thanks.

[@enDARKenLoL]

Thanks for the reply, glad to know there wasn't some hidden rule change omitted somewhere. Easy mistake to make, especially when you're God knows how many hours deep into these rules explanations. I just think it's good to highlight from you personally, when many people will use this as a starting point for rules debates as the edition starts. An example where it would be the case is if the downstairs was impassable like a container, and the models on top were more than an inch from the closest edge.(I know you know this, just for anyone new) thanks again for your hard work on this, awesome resource.

[@CarlyCurly_]

Great guy! Was having trouble understanding the fall back rule & it’s related battle shock, & this helped wonderfully! Saved for later

I am just getting into Warhammer and I'm really excited. I don't have my army yet because I definitely want to research more about how I should probably build mine, as I'm going to be running my favorite army/ faction, the Grey Knights. Deeply appreciate this video and I'll probably have to rewatch bits and pieces again to understand it later on, but thank you so much for helping out the new players. Most of the online community like seems extremely welcoming of new people and that's always a great sign

[@jonathanchevalier2764]

I didn't scroll deep into the comments; did anyone mention the sequencing in the Combat phase? The new rules call out, "In both steps of the Fight phase, players alternate selecting eligible units from their army, one at a time, starting with the player whose turn is not taking place, and fighting with them." So, even in the Fight First phase, it starts with the Defender/Players whose turn it is not. FYI!

[@jonathanchevalier2764]

Page 32, in the first paragraph.

[@jaimearancibia5811]

Thanks for the video! , its the best how to play vid I've seen so far. Great job.

[@star_wars_miniatures]

I’d actually say the smaller the dice, the more fair and random the dice roll will be as it should rotate more times than a bigger dice! So people who use large dice are freaks to me!😅

[@Leroy_Jenkins_]

Small dice are the superior dice

[@chrish1645]

If this was to my question in the first video about small dice etiquette, then thanks for the answer! Like I said in the last post, trying to go to my first event and be a good opponent. Watching tourney regulars talk makes me realize there are a lot of little details that are a matter of course for them, but that new players probably wouldn't even think of.

[@DrHumperdink]

I have a set of 1/8" d6. Drop a handful onto a hard surface and the scatter everywhere. Fun to get the initial reaction, but useless otherwise.

[@towerpower]

Wow thanks!! this is priceless, just getting into 40k and this helps soooo much!!

Hello Rob I just wanted to say thanks for this video. I was one the fence about playing 10 edition. You teaching help me see that 10 edition is a least worth trying.

[@eaglesfly5236]

Much better. Obviously, I wasn't the only one finding it hard on the eyes.

Great reference video - thanks for the efforts put in! As a returning player it’s a hell of a lot to take in but the time stamps are dead handy. Enjoy 10th!

[@babiuszek819]

Thank you for making this, the content of the previous video were amazing but the static was really grating on the eyes. This one is flawless

[@Manic_raccoon]

I played my very first game yesterday it was a small game (500 points) and I lost but I still had so much fun I can't wait to play another game and learn more!

[@TheMediocreBrit]

Question concerning Ruins and visibility and whether they get benefit of cover in this situation: A unit of Necron Warriros vs a unit of Intercessors (only as an example) If there is a unit of Warriors inside of the terrain feature (open back of the ruins so it only covers the front and side) what if the intercessors go behind the ruins so the unit of warriors become fully visible - would that remove the benefit of cover since you are now fully visible even though the benefit of cover rule states "Wholly within this terrain feature or not fully visible" as they are still fully within the terrain but just fully visible now I'd be expecting it to be the benefit of cover is removed but wording is still a bit iffy.

[@kamiladamczyk2469]

Comment for algorithm, thanks for that vid and going forward and helping community! You guys rock.

[@borisdorofeev5602]

The rules are surprisingly simple the way the official Warhammer channel explained it in their 8 min video. The only thing I'm wondering about are options to disengage from melee. It seems once you get bogged down after the charge phase it's pretty much a slugging match from there on. It looks like there are only penalties for trying to reposition a weaker unit from getting torn apart.

Oh my god. So much better. Thank you!

Where to get the cool tSN-branded combat gauges at 1:32?

[@The_WarL0rd_Way]

This is amazing! Thank you! Thank you!

[@lmccart1705]

At 36:15 wouldn’t the charge still be able to be made since engagement range is 1” horizontal and 5” vertical, or did they change it so that to make the charge the 5” vertical no longer counts?

[@hammer1349]

To be in combat you have to be base to base now so if you block off a level of ruins with no room to get up there, you cant end up in melee, which makes sense given the ruins these days have floors like 2x the height of a marine

[@Mark-2509]

I thought you need to be in base contact onliy if possibe. If not possible you are still in engagment range so can fight during the fight phase.@@hammer1349

[@williammullennex5817]

I am new to the game and I am confused by benefit of cover, mainly because of the difference between models and units. The answer is probably staring me in the face but please help me. Here is the scenario: An attacking unit has five models and the target unit has 5 models. Only one of the models of the target unit is fully visible to all of the attacking models. How many models in the target unit can be fired at and/or take the effects of being fired on and what is the benefit of cover for the target unit?

[@Pestilencemage]

...need a checklist that is more for not forgetting some strategy option you have or thing to check as playing. Though it would need customized for the list.

[@TheSlimefreak987]

Do you gauge cover on a model by model basis or unit by unit? If models does that mean some models in a unit get a cover save and some don’t? Or if half the unit isn’t visible does the whole unit get a cover save

[@aalagerwaard]

36:08 you talk about charging a unit at a higher level of terrain, are you sure that you would need to measure the vertical distance? The target of the charge should have an engagement range of 5'' vertical and 1'' horizontal. The blade guard veterans would still be in engagement range on the lower floor EDIT: nvm already caught in another comment > this is indeed a mistake

[@sertomewow]

In the fight phase at 38:54 , you said "If all of one player's units have fought then the other player can resolve all of their combats". Isn't it supposed to be alternating between players?

[@bruderfaust5021]

Sequencing doesn't apply at all in the fight phase. "In both steps of the Fight Phase, players alternate selecting eligible units from their army, one at a time, starting with the player whose turn is not taking place, and fighting with with them." Exact text from page 32 of the new rules

[@specialneedspanda]

havent played since second edition...back when terminators rode motorcycles and all the figs were literal weapons... this video was a good catchup, but its going to take some playthroughs to fully get up to speed

[@gangsterspairofdice1037]

I hope the algorithm gods are kind to you. Right decision to tweak what is now the perfect intro to 10th Ed video.

[@DM-ICE]

Is there no longer a vertical engagement distance? Hiding from monsters on first floors again?

[@emperoramp9305]

So if i use Rapid Ingress on a unit with Deepstrike does it have the restrictions of 6" from the edge like the rest or can i place it anywhere like a normal Deepstrike?

What about HQ's that have Leader that also say, "This model can be attached to a unit that already has a Leader? Does that models Leader abilities still activate? For instance, Having a Foul Blightspawn attached to a unit of Plague Marines, being led by Lord of Contagion.

[@Weresosorry]

9:30 I'm just getting to the game and I think this is incorrect now in 10th edition? I think they're basically all free.

[@Mouseling216]

much better, good of you to make this

[@Potato_217]

I'm confused about the engagement range rule. The rule says you cannot set up or end models on normal, adv, fall back moves. But how do models end up in engagement range anyways? If I have a unit that's 10" away from an enemy unit, I move up 6" (4" awake from enemy) then I'm in engagement range? Or am I not allowed to do that since it's ending a normal move within engagement range. I am assuming a model/unit makes a charge and that's how the unit gets into engagement range.

[@tradingjedi63]

Yes. You must declare and perform a successful charge move

Appreciate the change, excellent introduction video to 40k
