How To Play Warhammer 40K 10th Edition

[@MarshalDiedrecht]

The Rules are explained nicely and all that, but I have to praise the production value. lighting, location, sound, music down to the additional Info and script on how you three do move and act, everything is so damn nicely done. Love the video and work you put into it.

[@VT_Jord]

thank you mate, we did put a lot of effort into this video we are so glad you enjoyed it :)

[@VanguardTactics]

Thank you so so much for your kind words, really means a huge amount to us.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Yup! Awesome production.

[@KmaC2464]

@@VanguardTactics seconded all the praise but if possible showing the actual dice rolls with a gopro cam view or smth would be a fantastic next step. it helps to actually see the dice rolled and how they get pulled on success v fail. for a new player at least. E: you could do close ups on the units attacking and who they are attacking too so people can start to recognize units.

[@k1ngadazmus]

Been watching a lot of "How to play Warhammer 40k" videos, and this is by far the best and clearest one for a newbie like me. Thank you.

[@AJMOFO1987]

There’s a hundred how to plays out right now and as a new player this is the best I’ve seen, thanks!

[@VanguardTactics]

Thank you so so much, we can't tell you how much that means to us here at VT.

[@LeftyRedd]

Also super new, and this helps a ton. The video is made is a very easy way to understand. :)

[@kreisch1]

@@VanguardTactics One of the "new guys" here - you really did a great job explaining the rules! Nice one and as others already said, the overall look and presentation is really cool! Keep it up! Subscribed!

[@VanguardTactics]

We really hope you enjoyed this learn to play warhammer 10th edition video. If you have any questions please let us know.

[@MichaelSmith-cy5ev]

@ 22:00 you say Strategic Reserve rules apply to Deep Strike units. On pg. 43 the first paragraph states that this is not true. Units can use Deep strike and Infiltrators first round. Correct?

[@THEGEEKCOMPANY]

​@@MichaelSmith-cy5evI think so too.

[@kgeo2686]

FINALLY!!! Oh my goodness I was going crazy. Finally a tutorial that actually starts with an OUTLINE!!!!! It’s standard practice to start with an outline for a reason… IT WORKS. People need the broad view before diving into the details. Every other guide plunges straight into details with no reference of where or why… simply because they skip the outline. Without the general knowledge of the whole picture, you instantly feel overwhelmed. Anyways, rant over. Sub like all that goodness. Thank you!

[@punchlord]

Very happy I broke into the lift weights & play 40K scene, cheers 🍻

[@gehtsma]

You guys have taken it to the next level, production value is amazing! Keep up the great work!

[@VanguardTactics]

Much appreciated!

[@cthuludreams1]

Just a bit of constructive criticism, the music is too loud

[@malibuhiegts]

It is loud

[@CalvinPratt]

I loved it

[@MagicVerve]

Heresy!

[@jasontucker2496]

As a total noob to how the game is played thank you so much for this. Very clearly explained.

[@AwesomeWookiee]

As someone who has never played and is super interested, this is really helpful. I definitely need to "have a go" somewhere, but this means I won't be walking in blind.

[@james-hamar]

You folks did great on this one. Love the rented studio, and how you brought all the rules to life. Mega props to Mr. Box for being so quick on the commentary and keeping the energy going for such a huge amount of content. The toss @35:08 was hilarious too. Awesome!

[@nhogan84]

Have watched a ton of "how to play" videos and this one is hands down the most concise and easy to understand one I've watched. I actually feel confident I could play the game now. Phenomenal work on every facet.

[@DcClipz1]

I had my first game last night using the exact set , we didn’t use stratagems and I was so overwhelmed with how you work everything, great video feel a lot more confident now !

[@AngelofDeath333]

Loved the explanation on all the rules! Glad this video came up in my recommended

[@VanguardTactics]

Thanks so much

[@Bingham15]

Came for the production, stayed for the biceps

[@VanguardTactics]

Love it haha 😂

[@jordans6005]

Of all the introductory Warhammer videos this is by far the easiest to follow, can’t praise these guys enough!

[@ianJames148]

Can't wait to get stuck into 10th. Bring it on!

[@andrehas82]

Great walkthrough, really high end production. I would how ever, wish for a clearer dice view. Either above the dice tray in a small screen, or simply showing the roll of the dice in the corner.

[@etherd]

I really like the paint job on the space marines. I would love to see a how to video on how you painted them. White always gives me trouble.

[@elliotlim4823]

I've seen people just prime in white! Or if you're feeling slapchoppy you can prime in black then drybrush a heavy layer of white over it too!

[@traversal6881]

Light grey with a bit of white in it. Thin layers twice. Use pure white to sparingly highlight. Can also drybrush white on lit surfaces. Enjoy!

[@ronindesbois9660]

That little step at the start made me chuckle. Jokes aside I really like the camera setup ! The board is very nice, and I like that blue light coming from Stephen's body - I don't know how he does it but the effect is really neat.

[@VT_Jord]

Thank you mate, we really appreciate the feedback, the blue light was from a lighting setup we had behind Steve, or just Steves aura which ever you wish to believe ;)

[@VanguardTactics]

We actually had a full walk, cant believe it was cut haha

[@davidmonteiro3718]

Loved the video but the 2 players being silent the whole time was...jarring.

[@MagicVerve]

High King Micheal Throwing dub 6s on the dread was epic. Our boy Narrating (outstandingly by the way) comments-“I can’t Believe you just done that.” *shakes head in disbelief* Is one of my favorite parts of this whole vid. Your team deserves a seat at the GW table at this point. Keep up the good work gents!

[@matttoner3345]

Style and Substance! This video was well shot, the models and scenery looked great, and you did a great job of introducing what's going on in 10th Edition. Thank you!

[@VanguardTactics]

Thanks so much Matt

[@Reesily]

Really nice video. Explained clearly and I liked you didn’t assume people where coming straight from ninth.

[@VT_Jord]

thank you Simon :D glad you liked it

[@Th3FallingSt4r]

Seriously thank you guys so much! I know it can feel like second nature to guys that have played a bunch, but for us new people it was tremendously helpful! My wife and I don't have models done yet but we are playing our first game with a beads as units rn!

[@VanguardTactics]

Our pleasure! that actually sounds epic lol I'm glad we could help :)

[@biggerthanjapan]

This is fantastic and so well done. The love and care put into this production really shows. Keep up the great work, big support for knowledgeable players elevating sportsmanship and sharing knowledge with newer players so patiently. Thank you!

[@frothybevvy4706]

Totally new to warhammer and this really helped cheers guys.

[@starlord157]

Jeeebus… might be my favorite space marine color scheme yet. They look super clean.

[@VanguardTactics]

That’s very kind of you to say

[@vincenzosparks2516]

Please, correct me if I am wrong here.., (11:31) the Blast rule as described by Stephen sounds incorrect. "5 models in the enemy unit. So, we got a unit of 5 so each of these barbgants will shoot one more shot each so now that is going to be a total of 17 shots. 14+3/17" I believe it is +1 additional shot per the shooting unit. Not model. Meaning that you would net a max total of +1 per 5 enemy units. So, in this case you would only make 15 shots. Not 17. This is how I've seen it portrayed across the majority of other KZbinr's content. Masterful production and great presentation you guys. Love it! =D

[@beowulfadrinor7242]

Very good video. One of the best, if not the best, tutorials of the game I have watched. Even answered questions I had that other tutorial videos didn't. Thank you. Great production as well.

[@AnarchoLoserist]

i appreciate every rule being presented with a detailed real example of play. a lot hard to internalize in generic examples imo

[@kharn109]

Great video, one item of feedback: - Can we get timestamps for each rule covered (e.g. Movement, Advance, Shooting etc) so it's easy to seek? Keep up the good work!

[@cliftonking3323]

I love how thorough you are with everything! Great learning video!

[@jasonphelps9795]

I really appreciate this video. It made most of the basics clear to me and now I can't wait to build an army and play. Thank you for the hard work everyone.

[@VanguardTactics]

Thanks for your very kind feedback and welcome to the hobby

[@Garif07]

I've watched this video start to finish 3 times. Heading down to the shop to play my first game of 40k tonight. Thanks for making high quality content to help people into your hobby.

[@TattooedTabletop]

Absolutely crushed it lads! Everything was fantastic!

[@VT_Jord]

Thanks brooo 💜✌🏼

[@TattooedTabletop]

@@VT_Jord Your shoulder dust off got me good 🤣🤣

[@VT_Jord]

@@TattooedTabletop I've been told it's now my trademark move 😂😂

[@kristofcsalanosi5757]

Really good video! Thank you for your work! The only thing I’d have done to make it even better is changing the camera to show the board at all times, always highlighting which unit the presenter guy is talking about and showing the datasheets of the units when they are shooting/fighting, highlighting what to check on the datasheets at which point.

[@TooBarFoo]

I bought the leviathan box and have been painting but have not yet played. Will watch this through a few more times to try and get head around it all. It would help if you showed the cards for the various squads and highlighted the values being used and the special rules if you really targeted total beginners like myself. Trying to page back and forth through the massive book to follow along means I either focus on the book or on the info you are giving. Just a suggestion, I'm sure it simplifies pretty quickly once your following the data but that first step to confident understanding is a really large leap. Still very appreciated and the best guidance so far.

[@scottanderson3967]

Thanx great video for new player.

[@WarThunder-zt4xw]

What a great video, well done Stephen and team! I'm so excited for 10th edition and I'm new to 40k so, this video is definitely helpful! I love the paint job on the models and Vanguard chevrons on your Astartes is a cool touch!

[@VT_Jord]

Thank you mate! We really appreciate that ✌🏼 we have plenty more marines in our new colour scheme on the way

[@VanguardTactics]

Thanks so much

[@JackDespero]

What I learnt is that Tyranids are bugs and thus they must be cleanse with fire. Also, they will run you over. Great video. I think this format was fantastic for anyone who is new to the rules.

[@ragingfreak2]

Wow this is the tutorial I have been looking for. I wasn’t sure how plus 1 to the hit role worked. So much information thanks guys.

[@takogames9552]

I’m new in this community and learning 10th edition. This video is a god send. Thanks a lot!

[@fordyboi1989]

Love your videos, so clear and concise, spattered humour, no down time. Cant wait to see more as 10th unveils :)

[@lorgor4eva]

I just wanted to say I thought this was brilliant for a new player & looked like fun filming & helpful to someone more experienced with some of the new tighter rules for 10th edition. Great job Steve & vanguard team. Look forward to lots of 10th edition batreps & some AOS as well 😊.

[@VanguardTactics]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ryanbaez9891]

This is the most in depth how to play ive seen. They are very clear on what’s going on and why they are doing certain things. I feel like others cut over certain aspects because they have played for a long time and assume people have a base knowledge. I really appreciate all the descriptions on how to play. The only minor complaint I had is the background music could be distracting at times. I wish it was a little lower or not as dynamic.

[@ChopsTV]

Incredibly well done video! Especially useful to someone like me who was just learning 9th when 10th was announced.

[@SuperCleary]

Awesome cinematography and setup

[@StivoxiusPrime]

This was exactly what i needed! a detailed explanation of what happens in each round how distances work with engagement and all, how the dmg works and is allocated to models and i can't stress enough how good of an informational video this was, i enjoyed it way too much and i will be playing it again to learn more and more so by the time i get my army done i will be able to play against my long time friend who has a 5000 points necrons army waiting to be annihilated by my Tyranids! thanks again for this super nice informative video and i hope more are following, this is exactly what beginners like me need and want. THANK YOU Stephen Box and Jason and Michael and everyone else from Vanguard Tactics who worked on this video. keep it up, great work, I LOVE IT!!

[@TheSunlessSaint]

Great video! Love the work of everyone at Vanguard Tactics!

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Yup!

[@hardcorenacho1020]

So many “how to play” that just read the words right out of the rule book. This was great being able to actually see how stuff works and how turns work. Great job!!!

[@VanguardTactics]

Thanks so much and if we were to do it again I think we could make it even better and more engaging

[@hardcorenacho1020]

only thing I would recommend is that when you make a reference to finding something on the data sheet you have the data sheet on screen on where we would find it.@@VanguardTactics

[@GraemeBreiner]

Thanks for the video. Sounded great via my sound bar😮

[@Hendrycks]

Great video! My wife and I are brand new to 40K and tried playing with our Thousand Sons and Aeldari Combat Patrol boxes last night. Is it just an odd learning curve to figure out what weapons individual models have, how to remember who shoots what before rolling any dice etc? It seems very daunting as new players, even coming from playing a ton of advanced board games, to have to decide what to glue on a model, then what that model specifically has, and if we say "oh this model has X instead" how do we remember between my 6 Windriders, as they die which had which weapon? I'm sure most things are figured out with experience and play time but it seems very daunting as new players to have to reference the back of the manual of the combat patrol for what a weapon even is exactly, especially my Wraithlord having potentially 2 different arm-mounted weapons, 2 different shoulder-mounted and what's in his hands?

[@readey101]

great video, excellent production, can't wait for 10th!

[@XilejaffacakE]

This is looking great, I like the new blast rule, helps you even if you roll 6s!

[@lifewithsy1]

New starter. Best break down I’ve seen 🙌🏽💯

[@Hikers42]

Late to vidoe and the channel. But found you theough your interview with DiceBreaker. You're gaming ethos is exactly what we need. Im not a competitive player but the video showed what you were about. Aim is to Win, the point is to have fun. 😁

[@SpensPainting]

Love this! Explanation is very clear and understandable. Production and set is wicked. Love the presentation/commentary style. 10/10 impossible to watch

[@Skrilla189]

Getting ready to play my first game of 10th edition tomorrow. Really appreciate the great video! I do think that the music was a bit too loud though, and would love to see it toned down.

[@adeptusslugusgaming]

as someone who is stepping into 40k coming from Kill Team this guide was so helpful! Thank you!

[@Deviated88]

This was a fantastic video! I had my first game the other day and I wish I watched this first. But overall I had an absolute blast, and cannot wait to get more games in! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@rosspearse1928]

Thanks for this, such a good example for a new player not comfortable with the rules yet. Very informative and very well made. Thanks again

[@TheDuri7]

Great video dudes! It is great to see the effort and passion you dedicate to 40k and the VT family.

[@CraNiumMT]

Great Video especially for myself as a beginner, the production value is top notch. If I were to make a small suggestion is include more close-up shots of the units and positions of the units. but all in all amazing video!

[@brandonjjarvis]

I found the new shirts on the website. But how do I get the arms to fill out those sleeves? Brilliant. Thank you as always

Not gonna lie..but the warehouse you guys shot in looks so cool. The back lighting is a nice touch. Nice work.

[@bunyslayer]

Solid run down guys! I started playing at the tail end of 8th and I even learned a thing (pile in on the other guys combat) I play guard so I never worried much about melee combat.

[@alexlandrum8871]

this video is hands down the best how to video i've ever watched. the music in the background is a little distracting to me with just how high energy it is so i had to rewatch some sections a lot to process everything

[@StivoxiusPrime]

besides my other comment i'm still a bit blank about engagement range and how the one inch range means and why it can't be base to base range? some other rules confuse me but i'll be getting the teaching lessons from the website, i need some more insights on the Tyranids and what they can do but also how enhancements work and when i can use strategems and when and how many i can use. you'll be hearing of me more and more in the future!! great video, thank you all :D

[@typhus6666]

honestly felt like steve didnt take a breath in between talking for 50mins, I get that you edited it together but it seemed fast for alot of knowledge about the game. Thankfully im an avid player of the previous editions, apart from this greatly produced video.

[@VanguardTactics]

Who needs to breath when you have 3 lungs and 2 hearts

[@stax6092]

Great video guys, as a new player at the end of 9th and entering 10th, this cleared up so many questions myself and a friend had. Going into my saved videos.

[@TheKermit2110]

Great vid, really helpful. Only point of confusion was deepstrike. I can’t find anywhere in core rules, commentary or dataslate, that this only functions from turn 2. For strategic reserves yes, but not from deepstrikes. Please can you point me to where this rule was updated, cheers.

[@S.A.S.H.]

Ater watching the interview with Peachy, I'll be paying a lot more attention. Stephen you did a great job on that show and it really raised my interest and opinion significantly. Great job, m8.

[@antoniodiaz4603]

Good vid. But i wish there were some more images used when explaing rules.

[@VanguardTactics]

We tried to add as much as we could with the time we had available

[@Gaddo_]

Love this video, very high quality. I would suggest maybe turning down the volume of the backing music, it feels a little overpowering through the explanations. Probably just needs to be lowered slightly and it would be perfect!

[@charlesstratton9103]

Great video! Really clear. Can't help but feel that Jordan was desperately trying to get Michael to crack a smile or laugh throughout this. Great to see the chemistry you guys all have 😂😂

[@heinzschmitt9661]

Really well explained guys.

[@niallcampbell]

That command re-roll for the saving throw for screamer killer vs the dreadnought las cannon - you only rolled one of the two saving throws, which had both failed. Is that correct? I thought command re-roll would have allowed you to re-roll all dice. Thanks

Ah yes, the precessesses. I randomly saw your interview about sportsmanship at tournaments, and I wanted to sub. I hope to learn how to play 10th perfectly from yall. Keep it up, good sirs (and ladies if there are any)

[@BulkersRuleZ]

Great video. I bought my first models recently. Having a blast at butchering the painting XD. I know Im not gonna play with them because theres probably noone in a 100km radius that plays this game in my part of the world but still. I watched this and tabletop videos on how to play and it looks very hard for new players. Barrier of entry is extremely high. Not only you have to spend few hundrets of dollars for an army, you need to assembly and paint them, you need to find some1 as crazy as you that lives near you and wants to play. And then on to off that you need to know core rules and all of the faction rules, and that is a few dozen of years of knowledge

[@dlolwtf]

Great video, perfect for people that haven't played the newer versions like myself and want to get back in

[@BB-pn2qv]

Excellent! I just hope the indexes are out so we can actually play lol
