What's up guys! This is an update to my original guide / tutorial on playing 10th Edition Warhammer 40k on Tabletop Simulator. I was able to clear up a few quirks from the original & update this for 2024!
I've had a few people asking about what program I'm using to make my Warhammer 40k videos, so I wanted to put together a short guide going over the basics on how to install, setup & play 40k on Table top Simulator in 2024. Whether you play casual or competitive, TTS is one of the more valuable resources we have access too - give it shot!
In this TTS tutorial for wh40k I'll be covering everything from army creation, using the Steam Workshop, which 40k mods to use, how to use BattleScribe to make an army, playing missions, practicing & more!
Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help with armies as well, whether it's army lists, tips, etc. If I missed anything important be sure to let me know so I can leave a pinned comment

Update: for generating armies, they also have ForceOrg which has more up to date models vs BattleForge. If you'd care to check those out as well I'll post a link below:

Archon me and my friends have been playing TTS 40k for years without any of the basics you provided in this video. Thanks a ton this helps alot
Oh man, I get shown random things I never knew about all the time too. It's wild how deep TTS is. That's awesome to hear though, wasn't sure this'd be all that useful for experienced players but apparently I stand corrected hah
Appreciate ya Alpharius
Let me know if you guys have any questions or if I missed anything important! The more people we can get into the 40k community the better so I really hope this is helpful for some of you guys out there. Sincerely, don't be nervous about TTS, 99% of my experiences have been nothing but positive so don't hesitate to give it a shot
Bro I’m new to the hobby and your channel has been a god send ty for the content!
This is awesome so far!! You rock dude
Your videos are amazing. Brilliant work mate. This has made TTS way more attractive for me and I would love to try it.
just stopping by to say great work champ
Amazing work Archon
Archon out here Workin! New videos popping up up. Keep up the good work man. Would love to see maybe 1 round of simulated 10editiom
Super helpful for someone new to TTS 🤙
I just now got TTS, so I'm delighted to see a recent video like this.
Glad it was helpful! :) I think TTS is such an amazing tool so just trying to spread the word on it
it can't replace playing IRL, but its the second best thing. thanks for the video
Couldn't agree more! Nothing will ever replace having an excuse to go out & meet peeps or show off my models, but it's not *that* far behind hah
Super helpful. Thank you Archon. Found you through the IW discord.
Appreciate that Mono! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for the heads up about the IW discord too, that's badass to hear my vids are getting shared out there :)
Finally a better tutorial on how to use warhammer on TTS 😊
Be aware that the Battleforge mod pack hasn't been updated since back in 9th edition, and the new standard is ForceOrg. In your video, you can see the "Start-Here" channel just under the "start-playing" channel. THATS the new one we are pointing people towards. I'm not sure why Malice (the person who runs the server) hasn't removed the old channel yet.
Good looking out! I just checked it out & yeah those look great. I'll add a pinned comment so others can see it too
Thats funny, obviously I'm am old timer so yeah kinda silly they're leaving up the old channel if it's not the most up to date
Damn dude do you have more hours in the day than the rest of us? Keep up the great work!
Well I definitely haven't been getting enough sleep that's for sure lol
I've been looking for people to help teach me how to play 40k on TTS for a little while now, i'd love to get into this. I'm collecting Tyranids IRL and want to learn how to play better and use the more advanced rules (IRL we play with very basic rules for now)
Hell yeah man, I'm glad you were able to find this video in that case! For real don't *at all* be afraid to hop on the TTS Discord & just ask if anyone would be willing to show you the ropes. All the time I see people willing to help & they're genuinely some of the kinder folks out there. Everyone's gotta start somewhere hah
I'd recommend starting out with a 1k list or lower & then use either @LFG Beginner or @Mentor in the chat. They'll show you everything from 40k to anything else I might've missed
I'd also recommend googling "Wahapedia Core Rules" if you want to brush up on anything (you can also Google Wahapedia Tyranids as well)
Great video! Would you happen to know of an updated map with the pariah nexus rules and deployment zones? Getting a game together this weekend and wanna try out all the new rules
Hey man, tyvm! So the FTC mod was already updated with Pariah Nexus actually - if you don't already have it I *believe* there's a link in the description (otw look for "FTC competitive base" on the Workshop). I'm not sure about maps for the 'stepped' deployments yet but a lot of the normal ones still work. With FTC you can select either Leviathan or Pariah Nexus from a little selector right next to the scorecard, has all the new deployments & missions built into it
Hope that helps :)
@@fatarchon thanks!!
This seems like it could be a great way for me to learn kill team solo for a while... i foresee an evening or ten of learning tabletop sim stuff
Dangit, now I wish I brought that up! TTS is fantastic for solo practice. Sometimes I just want to test out a combo or list & I can do a few test rolls real quick. Obviously let's you take your time when learning the game itself more too :) There's for sure TTS Kill Team players out there. Heck pretty much every game ever has a community on there hah
Either way, great point & I'm glad this could hekp point you in TTS' direction
I found Tabletop Simulator very useful to create most of the scenarios and narratives I wondered about, like Astra Militarim against monsters of a Death World or fighting against primitives on a new colony. The problem is I don't have players anymore. 😂
Lol I've been making random dioramas lately too. I might be a nerd... Heh, for players be sure to check out the discord! There's a million people looking for fluffy or casual games too, not just comp matches
@@fatarchon I will. Thank you for the tip.
You are becoming my American auspex tactics ❤
Alright now THATS the kindest comment I think I've ever gotten lol, thank you bub
I'd love to get back into 40k if only I had people to play with again, idk why it's so hard to get people to play or into the game. I've got a 3d printer and tons of armies, and even have bought people TTS, but nobody plays, that seems to be the theme for 40k I played quite abit of 10th edition combat patrol, and a lot of OPR on tts. Atm I am playing wow cata classic tho.
If you haven't already, try joining the discord for any local stores around you. That's one of the best ways to get games setup / meet folks
@@fatarchon Sadly no local shops around me, besides a gw store, but they're small, and I am not sure if they'd want people playing there, pretty much just showing newbies with a show. The other semi local store was roughly 30mins+ from me, and they moved further away, due to covid or a flood.
Is there a way to wipe the map after you've confirmed it? I feel like i'm missing something obvious, there must just be a way to clear the map.
Not that I'm aware, BUT, I have to do that all the time myself (esp when doing the detachment reviews hah) - all you do is just reload FTC. Takes like 10sec once you get your rhythm down
Thats part of the reason I like loading maps first. If you had models out you could just CTRL+C them, reload FTC then CTRL+V them back
Hope that helps!
ForceOrg and BattleForge work differently, and I'm not sure how to use ForceOrg and also have the cards up from Yellowscribe at the same time.
Well you convert them from BattleScribe or that .eu link I sent you. Tbh man you might try rewatching the video & following along with by either reducing the speed or pausing at it goes along. I have a different version from last year that might make more sense too (it shows a diff way to make armies). If all else fails & there's nothing on Google you might have to do it the old fashioned way until we can get it figured out :)
@@fatarchon Should have deleted the comment before now. Just a layout/UI issue. Figured it out two minutes later, and me and a friend worked out all the rest following your video. Thanks!
Hell yeah man, wanted to be sure we could get you going! Glad it all worked out & welcome to TTS
@fatarchon The part we were overlooking was the little yellow button that is the ForceOrg/Yellowscribe interface on the bottom part of the page. Got that figured out and got my Orks vs his Necrons good to go for tomorrow. Trash lists - I care a lot less about winning when I'm not playing Imperium forces. I always wanted to play xenos and Chaos because I can laugh just as hard if I get krumped.
Thanks again for the video. Helped a TON with the learning curve.
16:18 I can't get the numpad keys to work to give me those deep strike rings. What am I doing wrong?
Hmmm, you dont have numlock on do you? I'd also check it with multiple models in case it's a random bug, otherwise check the settings menu to see if theres a hidden setting somewhere. That's definitely an odd one!
@@fatarchon yep, num lock was on. I tried it with multiple dark eldar models, but the script wasn't working on any of them.
What if you have no one to play with?
Join the discord! There's games going on every few minutes during primetime. That applies to your local game stores too for IRL play
well, at least i tried.
You running into any issues with TTS?
bro tell me what mods i NEED. dont tell me about the random side stuff
02:10
Literally TWO MINUTES into the video lmao. There's a few other things too but I'm not going to spell it out for you. Watch the video or move along 😊
