The printed paperminis for all armys they finished are now free as well. That might be good for new players. They can be found over at drivethrough RPG.
I just put the starter set paper minis together. Honestly pretty solid as paper minis go. And they include the vtt assets as well so they can be used for RPGs as well as playing the game with long distance friends over vtt if needed/desired. The paper minis in the starter set (can’t speak to the others yet) are also already formated to be printed off. No adjustments really needed
Poker chips. Often available super cheap at dollar stores. Really great for tracking wounds for any number of skirmish games. For games like Warcry that have relatively high wound counts, use the 10/5/1 values for red, blue, white. Best thing is you’re not going to accidentally pick up the wound counters when you’re gathering up your dice. Oh, and for the larger scale games, it’s worth it to look for the smaller size chips rather than the official casino size versions.
Buying tape measure with inches is harder than you think in countries with civilised metric system. Even stores with tools or furniture may not have them in stock. Dedicated wargaming tape measures are available in hobby stores, but are few times more expensive.
Metric may be civilized, but I prefer freedom units (I still can't grasp ordering meat at the grocery store in grams - gimmie a pound). But I do get your point. What's odd is that many of the tape measures sold here have both, most likely so they can sell to the US and Canada without having to change anything.
Yes and no. It will introduce them to game concepts like moving, dice checks, list building, table setup etc. But there are enough differences that keep them apart. The biggest differences are the alternating activations in OPR v. the "you go, I go" of 40k, and the data sheets for 40k are more complicated and involve a lot of unit synergy.

That and the coins are both decent ideas.
Good job cant wait for the rest
They're all out. Binge away.
Great video! Thanks for making this
Good stuff - 'nuff said!
Knitting counters - I started using them to track unit damage in Kings of War, can handle up to 99 wounds.
That's not a bad idea.
Coins work great for markers as well, if you trust your friends.
There is websites and mobile apps for dice if you don’t have any.

Fwiw, 25mm/2.5cm is about 1 inch.
Go from there. Or use a bunch of 25mm bases to measure distances.
Whatever you do, have fun!

Have you read "if chins could kill" ?
@@matthewstewart-fulton6266 I played this way at the beginnig and it is tiring. I strongly prefer using measure with inches.
Haven’t played OPR yet and I want to kind of get away from 40K. But would OPR be a decent way to introduce the basic mechanics of 40K to new players?
