    Meta Chaser - Someone who only plays the strongest perceived faction at any one time.
    Bash Bros - Playing 2 or more very large models, i.e. Magnus + Morty or Bloodthirster + Lord of Change + GUO.
    Clubbing Seals - A term in competitive for playing a very new or very bad player and winning easily.
    Fleet - Not so common anymore but sometimes used to describe adv/charge or charge bonuses.
    Mortal Wound Bomb - A unit that's sole purpose is to inflict the maximum amount of mortal wounds possible.
    Orbital - An effect that chooses a point on the battlefield and does mortals to a radius around it in the next turn.
    Transhitman - Transhuman but for hit rolls.
    And then there's lots of unit names.
    Glocktopus - Hexmark Destroyer
    Becky - Bloody Rose Smash Canoness
    Bonkmata - Bloody Rose Smash Dogmata
    Mr. Worldwide - Praetorian Plate Shield Captain
    Discolord - Lord Discordant

      having only played 3 real games this one is fun because i tabled my opponent all 3 times. He uh...needs some help with unit placement. standing out in the open for a tau list to sit there and shoot you is not a good way to live.

  • @Dyiad
    @Dyiad Год назад +6

    I'm not sure how much this is used, but my friends and I use the term "tagging" as a way to refer to when you pile-in or consolidate units into an enemy unit that your opponent doesn't want in melee. Things like buffing characters or vehicles without good melee.

  • @SilverHwk7

    In most games I've played, an "Alpha Strike" is an attack with all of a player or unit's resources such that it leaves that player or unit vulnerable.
    - In Magic, if you attack with all of your creatures and tap them all, you're left vulnerable if the opponent counterattacks.
    - In MechWarrior, an Alpha Strike fires all of the mech's weapons simultaneously, with a high chance of overheating and forcing the mech to shut down while it cools/recharges.
    - In a ship game, an Alpha Strike means a ship firing all of its weapons, meaning they need to be reloaded. Or a Carrier launches all of its aircraft for an attack, leaving the carrier defenseless.
    Same general concept, a concentrated attack with most or all of the resources against a single target, the post-attack vulnerability doesn't appear to apply in the Warhammer game structure.

    • @leovaeg
      @leovaeg Год назад

      the idea in WH is you put all your resources into offensive stats/boosts, thus have nothing left defensively if they survive the Alpha Strike

  • @phillbosque2183
    @phillbosque2183 Год назад +4

    One I could think of is 'castle' or 'castle-ing' where you wrap your HQ or elite units in a large blob of units to protect them and in return the special unit might be buffing them.
    Another is jinking, I kept hearing that term being thrown around a lot when I first got into the hobby and the term always baffled me- apparently it would just provide a cover save but you would have to announce it before your roll to hit. I'm not sure if this is still in the current edition of 40k or not.

    You missed "Gets Hot!" which is the easy way to say the firing unit is destroyed on a to hit roll of 1 (plasma weapons). and Melta meaning add 2 damage if within half range.

    Didn't "scout move" come from the old rule sm scouts had to move at the start of the game before turn 1? I think that was a 4th or 5th ed thing. Need to check the codex.
    Or the scout sentinel pregame move?
    Can't remember which was first.

    • @TacticalTortoise
      @TacticalTortoise  Год назад

      That's a pretty common one in any game; it basically just means "working very hard for the win"
      So like a game is sweaty because it was difficult and made you sweat, or a list is sweaty because you put a lot of effort into optimizing it.

      Because it isn't. That acronym was retroactively projected onto the word. He's right that the base word is the origin because it simply refers to the high level metaanalysis of intangle topics like strategies and best unit or army selections.
