Ive been thinking about getting into warhammer because I love the lore and think it would be a great way to increase my nerd levels. Would it be worth my money to buy that start up kit that comes with the space marines and orks because it comes with a rule book (i think) and some just starting out units, or just learn the rules online or buying the rule book from amazon? I want to play necrons but from what Ive heard, their codex is pretty dated. Is that necessarily a bad thing?
@SableDement Hey man, not sure if you've found stuff out yet, but the Necrons veery recently got an update with some pretty cool stuff going on!
Also, the Black Reach set is a great way to start as it gives you everything you need to start playing games of 40K right away, if I were just starting I'd definitely pick it up! Hope this helped
@doremicom When you rool the dice at the start of the game what are the different missions to play with and what are the different types of deploys and thank you this video helps alot
New players who have experience in other wargames often approach this game with the attitude of "this will be easy all the kids play it" but then find out that it is a very complex game to get a hang of with mechanics such as ap and gtg
How did learn all this! no really :) i dont really get where people learn stuff like this from. i know this may sound stupid but i dont understand WTF! XD hey are saying in the codex most of the time.
@doremicom doremicom, i was wondering if i could ask you a few questions, i'm a new 40k player and i'm starting to build an army and need a few pointers, please write me back if you have time...
@FoolHunter8462 Sorry no, but there's a difference between required and limited to. you are limited to a max 2 HQ, 6 Troop, 3 of everything else. Unless you're playing Apocalypse which has no force org requirements/limitations.
Great podcast and thanks for posting this video! I would love more information on point value games and force organization charts. How small is too small and how big is too big? How does the chart work if you want to play more than 500 points?
Thank you so much for these videos. I'm a new player who read the rule book at least 5 times before finding these videos. I learn better from watching than I do reading so I learned much more from watching these series once than I did from all the reading.
to anyone who cld help me: my 2 kidz just got this game ( 10y old). Now, the rules with the dices and all are quite heavy ...does any one cld send me a summary of the basics rules for the dices and tactics etc...cheers ladz.
Could you make this video series available for DL somewhere? I am trying to teach friends and customers to play and a visual learning aid is a great help.
i started with space marines and orks (assult on black reach) and wanted to go for tyranids after but they were just over my budget and then i discovered imperial guards now all i need is the codex i can play basics (move, shoot) but i can understand the rule book i cant do wounds, close combat, assult and what to do if you get the 6: explode! thing when a vehicle is wounded and i dunno how to do the vehicle armour but i hope to learn here :3
Great video. I'm a total noob regarding Warhammer 40k and I have a question. When I'm buying the "Assault on Black Reach" pack, I get the 40k rulebook. But what is a codex and when do I need it? Do I have to buy one to start playing the game? greetings from germany.
@TimmyVanilla greetings from Southern california a codez is basically the rule book for the army you decide to play with all there special rules and characters and you usually do have to buy one to really get a feel for your army and to get more in depth because i think in black reach you get a small rulebook which has all the details on every army but not enough to really be able to play them well. so i say get the codex as soon as you can.
Hi, I've played the video-games for a while, and recently bought a very very very small selection of models (4 orks, just to see what they were like). Previously knowing nothing about the game, I have to say, this video is extremely helpful. Easy to understand, and you explain everything you say. Thanks so much for posting these!
i want to get into 40k, but i don't wanna invest in a large army untill i get a firm grasp on the gameplay and rules...i've been compiling a few 500pt lists, and i was wondering...would it be to my advantage to have a 750pt list? i want a small army, but lately i find 500pts to be too restricting (you usually have to make compromises for a 500 army and leave out most of the fun stuff)
@popman638isthebest no, read your codex under WARGEAR and look up BOLTER...it dosin't say anything about scopes. besides, if a scope improved the range, it would probably have ended up as a wargear option (wich would have been cool) sorry bud, their cool looking, but that's about it.
oh ok thanks, i just bought a rulebook, basics are easy, Ballistics skill minus 7= what you need to get or above to hit, their is a table which tells you how much you need to wound, and stuff like that, but tomorrow i am going to my first tournament, i am writing down everything i will need to know, but thanks anyway...
@popman638isthebest the rulebook is like any standard textbook...the parts that are "boxed" are usually the things to remember most. if u want, it's easier just to scan your book and highlight the things that u need to remember and study them until you have it down...it's intimidating i know, but after a week or two, you'll have the rules down pat. good luck in your first tourney.
@popman638isthebest your campaign has begun...one victory will lead to others, and as far as warhammer fantasy goes...i sucked too, but it's cool...wargaming rules in all it's forms, even when u lose :P
it IS a time consuming task, but it is a fun one.
after playing normal warhammer, i realized 40k is WAY easier, now i can pretty much grasp the rules, i also have a rulebook, and i took your advice, thanks, i am a bit rusty but i will get good soon.....
@popman638isthebest Think about the question. Scopes don't increase range in real life, they just help a little bit to increase accuracy. 5th edition seems to be very realistic.
think about it yourself, a gun may be able to fire a bullet a large distance, but how can you hit a far target if you cannot see it, range is governed by your line of sight, if you take a scope off of a sniper, it won't be able to hit a target from as far a distance it could have before...
@jawatrader123 -- This is a tricky question to answer. Certain codexes have models with "hit and run" special rule. Or the Space Marines can choose to fail a morale test at the conclusion of combat and fall back. Necrons can teleport away from the assault in certain cases. 80% of the time, unless you're fleeing combat, you can't disengage. Vehicles without a WS (and are not immobilized) can drive off during their movement phase.
it is a nice video but the rules are 7th edition now some things are different but most people will be happy to explain the rules to you at a place where you can buy the models
so wait for my HQ i want to have marneus calgar with his honor guard, a terminator chaplain, and a terminator librarian. would this count as 3 separate HQ choices or could i put them all into one squad and have it be one HQ choice?
Depending on what army you want to play, you can have a whole variety of HQ choices, but unless they are Honor Guard which dont count but go with your HQ anyway you can only choose one unit
no point to me explaining it, you need to acquire the codex for your army. Different models cost different things. The same unit (like assault terminators) may cost different points based on which Space Marine army you're playing. Smallest game is 500 points. A typical game is anywhere between 1500-2000 points. Often the tournament, (or talking with your opponent ahead of time and just agreeing on the points for the game) will tell you how many points you can play with.
im fairly new to the game so i dont reli know the points system yet or anything like that but rite now in my space marine army i have 1 land raider 5 asault terminators chaplin casius 10 man tactical squad and a scout squad and a iron glad dreadnought. is that a leagle army? is there anythiung else i need or that i need to get rid of?
1x Heavy Support (or Dedicated Trans) - Land Raider.
You meet the min for 1 HQ and 2 Troops. And you don't exceen the maximum for your elites, heavy support, or fast attack (which you don't have yet). Legal army, just don't know what the points would be for that.
i know this isnt reli about the video but i thought u may be able to help me with somthing so erm your aloud 3 heavy suport yeh? so i cud have 3 land raiders? and u can have 3 elites? so i cud have 3 units of terminators n make the landraiders there dedicated transports? which terns the landraiders into elites too? wudnt that mean i cud have another 3 land raiders to fill the 3 heavy suport choices? so i cud have 6 land raiders?
@EMOBOY12344 It gets even better than that. Anything identified as a dedicated transport, is simply not factored against your force org chart. So if you have 3 units of terminators (and they happen to be elites) and each of them can take a land raider as a dedicated transport. You still have 3 heavy support options at your disposal. Just don't forget that all armies need an HQ and 2 troop choices to be a valid army list in a standard 40K game.
There isn't one video for changes in rules, it's designed to be a complete basic rules overview. You commented on the first video of about 25. Did you see them all?
out of curiosity, did they remove the C'Tan ability to pass through solid objets and impassable terrain? I haven't gotten a chance to look at the 5th edition Necon Codex yet.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
wow what a boring game.... I will make my own again lolz sorry. Good vid though for people who are into that kinda game it just seems alittle boring haha
no, the maximum number of fast attack and heavy support is 3. so you could have 2 troops, 1 hq, 3 heavy support, 3 fast attack. The only time this number may change is in planetstrike and apocalypse.
@fluffyflumpftw i would say not many girls play it but i think it would be worth it because you get to meet many people weather there your age a bit younger or well in to there mid life.But it can get very expensive and a little time consuming when your painting your models.But anywho back to the question at hand no not many girls play it.
@fluffyflumpftw Yes it is worth it, and the second is tricky. Depending on where you are you'll find either a lot of girls playing or none at all. in my region there are 4 female players that I know of. The hobby is fun when you can find opponants that aren't idiots or have the maturity level of a 5yo, but it does make a dent in your pocket. the models will never change [tho the base sizes will sometimes] and the codex's change very often, so plan on buying a lot of books for your army
you should look into getting your own army... sounds like your friend knows a little about what he is doing so ask him to start you off with a few practice matches with his army/armies and if u like it.. go and buy a battleforce (starter kit you could say)
I appreciate your tutorial enthusiasm. You did notice that there are 3 entire series of tutorials, right? I wanted to add a few more, but time restrictions on my end are prohibitive to that. Between setup, film, transfer to computer, edit, render, transfer to YouTube and annotations I'm looking at 4-5 hours for each 10 minute tutorial vid. If there's a particular rule that you really need explained, shoot me a PM, I'll see if I can work it in. Don't be so down on the RTD, variety is good.
i remember i saw this vid on some random search of warhammer(i was cattualy trying to find hammer of war)and i watched it and now i have a 2000 point space marines 2750 points IG and 2 realm of battle gameboards your awesome
You be surprised, My friend Introduce me to the Game, and if you saw him in the street. You Would think He Strait Gangstar. and He is, except for his liking of this game.
Depends on what you buy. There is no set price for this game. It's not like buying the board game monopoly, where the game has a fixed cost. This is why I asked you my follow on question, how much does what cost. There are costs for the rule set (but this is variable depending on if you buy the starter set or the hardback book). There are costs associated with the models, but then you have to answer which ones. Go to the games workshop website.
5th edition rules suck and are a step back from 4th edition... the line of site is so confusing, it doesn't explain if you can or can't shoot through friendly units and if you can't that's stupid. Further more the idea of if you can see it you can shoot it goes back to the complicated 3rd edition rules
I've got a tech call into that. I think they're redoing it because of a new update the Vassal 40K folks are working on. Generally speaking if you venture to vassal40k . com you and navigate to the download section, all of the instructions are there as well.

There isn't one video for changes in rules, it's designed to be a complete basic rules overview. You commented on the first video of about 25. Did you see them all?

out of curiosity, did they remove the C'Tan ability to pass through solid objets and impassable terrain? I haven't gotten a chance to look at the 5th edition Necon Codex yet.

If I have a commander with 3 Attacks, shooting a Storm bolter (Assult 2), will I roll for 6 shots?
xXBLARGXx 2 years ago
no, attacks are only used when calculating close combat attacks during an assault. When firing your storm bolter, you only shoot twice.
doremicom 2 years ago
Awsome, thanks.

does any one know if this army is ok? :
2 troops
1 hq
4 heavy support
4 fast atack
mRiCkLeJoEy 2 years ago
Yes, that army is ok.
As long as your army has 1HQ and 2 Troop choices you are good to go.
Unless there is something Im unaware of that says otherwise.
MadCowCrazy 2 years ago
max fast attack and heavy support is 3
doremicom 2 years ago
no, the maximum number of fast attack and heavy support is 3. so you could have 2 troops, 1 hq, 3 heavy support, 3 fast attack. The only time this number may change is in planetstrike and apocalypse.

Not many girls play, but it is awsome when they do!
SPWLoganGrimnar 2 years ago
@fluffyflumpftw i would say not many girls play it but i think it would be worth it because you get to meet many people weather there your age a bit younger or well in to there mid life.But it can get very expensive and a little time consuming when your painting your models.But anywho back to the question at hand no not many girls play it.
ClarinetGuy010 1 year ago
@fluffyflumpftw Yes it is worth it, and the second is tricky. Depending on where you are you'll find either a lot of girls playing or none at all. in my region there are 4 female players that I know of. The hobby is fun when you can find opponants that aren't idiots or have the maturity level of a 5yo, but it does make a dent in your pocket. the models will never change [tho the base sizes will sometimes] and the codex's change very often, so plan on buying a lot of books for your army

you're welcome!!!
doremicom 2 years ago
if you only just learning the game.. i suggest buy assault on black reach... it comes with a mini rulebook (has everything you need to know)
2 small armies (space marines and orks) and a very little tutorial on how to play your first match.
if u need any tips or help just message me on my profile or go in to your local gameswork shop or hobby store..
have fun! =]
/Peace.

yes... and unfortunately... the book is rather expensive...
however... if you get the "assult on black reach" set... it comes with a mini rule book that has everything you need to know it it.

you should look into getting your own army... sounds like your friend knows a little about what he is doing so ask him to start you off with a few practice matches with his army/armies and if u like it.. go and buy a battleforce (starter kit you could say)

TheLoyaltemplar 2 years ago
I appreciate your tutorial enthusiasm. You did notice that there are 3 entire series of tutorials, right? I wanted to add a few more, but time restrictions on my end are prohibitive to that. Between setup, film, transfer to computer, edit, render, transfer to YouTube and annotations I'm looking at 4-5 hours for each 10 minute tutorial vid. If there's a particular rule that you really need explained, shoot me a PM, I'll see if I can work it in. Don't be so down on the RTD, variety is good.

talhagx 2 years ago
Depends on what you buy. There is no set price for this game. It's not like buying the board game monopoly, where the game has a fixed cost. This is why I asked you my follow on question, how much does what cost. There are costs for the rule set (but this is variable depending on if you buy the starter set or the hardback book). There are costs associated with the models, but then you have to answer which ones. Go to the games workshop website.
doremicom 2 years ago
it does depend on what army you play... if you want more, swamp like orks are more in whole because, hints swamp... need more units.
the average amount i found is around 100 to start your HQ is your main leader and hes normal $25 then you need the 2 squads, clans.. yada yada...
an average box is 1 squad of 10 and costs around $25-$35
so at the best you pay around $75.
at worst you pay around $95.
its an expensive game but so much fun to play.

5th edition rules suck and are a step back from 4th edition... the line of site is so confusing, it doesn't explain if you can or can't shoot through friendly units and if you can't that's stupid. Further more the idea of if you can see it you can shoot it goes back to the complicated 3rd edition rules

Is a dreadnought a Heavy Support option?

Dreadnoughts default as elite choices although I think if you have a master of the forge you can take them as elite or heavy support.

i just found out that there is at least one army that has dreadnought and has to take them as heavy support - daemonhunters.

I've got a tech call into that. I think they're redoing it because of a new update the Vassal 40K folks are working on. Generally speaking if you venture to vassal40k . com you and navigate to the download section, all of the instructions are there as well.
