I did buy a starter set in 9th edition. but it was the 10th edition that i really dived into the rules. in my opinion 10th edition rules are very pleasant to understand. So a great moment for new players to jump in the hobby of warhammer.
I have to agree - the “simplified not simple” motto GW went for was a success on the most part. And having them actively balancing the game is a great thing to making it more enjoyable all round.
I have recently returned to the game, I last played in 5th or 6th edition (whichever the last without a psychic phase was). Unfortunately I got rid of all my models at the time too, so I'm starting fresh. I've gone with Thousand Sons, as I've always found them cool, and they have some really nice plastic models now. I just wish it were easier to get the mutalith vortex beast. So far I've played one game over TTS, which was really enjoyable.
Welcome back to the hobby! Thousand sons are awesome and I hope you enjoy collecting and playing the army. I’ve seen the Vortex beast on GW and hobby workshop over here in the UK. Think it’s direct order these days.
After several months of OPR, Space Weirdos, Warcry, and Kill Team, I'm trying to get back into 40k. Mind you, I like all those systems, I just want to grasp 40k better.
By abilities are we talking character ones - such as buffs for leading a group, auras and such? A lot of the time it's just practice and the more you use them, you'll start to remember what each do. I know I've played games where I've forgotten rules. Something I've found useful is having the datacards in front of me and a crib sheet of my units and what they have in bullet points I can refer to. Whether it's remembering a Lethal Hits buff, to making sure I remember an enhancement (as I've forgotten that a few times!) Getting the most out of character buffs for example is mainly just looking at the datasheets and the units the character can join and seeing which would gain the biggst benefit for that. Whether that's a offensive buff like getting [LETHAL HITS] for example or a defensive buff like an Invulnverable save or [FEEL NO PAIN] and what you need the unit to do on the battlefield. Pretty sure I go into this in more detail in the improve your army list video which may explain it better. Hopefully either of those answers your question.
@@TheCommandPhase I’ve done a good amount of hobbying the last week. I’ve painted my first three models. It’s not perfect but im happy with it. I’ve been going at a rate of like 6 hours an model to get it to a point I’m happy with
You can yes - so the stormbolter/combi weapon (whichever he has equipped) and purge soul. Treat it just like another model with multiple guns would be able to. So whatever weapons he has equipped you can shoot or fight with. Plus his ability vortex of doom on top 👍
What if i want to build an army of space marines now? Are there more faction specific rules other than what I find on the core rules? How can I read them?
Great video I was hoping you’d touch on base sizes; I have the dark vengeance starter but never got around to it. Now I’ve returned and gone heavy on 10th and would like to bring that set up to speed but; if you don’t have a 3d printer I’m not sure how you update the bases to the legal size
There are a lot of items available through ebay, Etsy, etc - for example MDF bases of the proper size, or base rings that you glue around smaller bases to increase their size.
Sorry I didn’t cover that, but its is a great point and something that has been changed a reasonable amount of time throughout the years. So my best bet would be to do 1 of 2 things. First of all you can get base extenders online from a variety of places which just slip on to make them the correct size. The other option is to purchase some new bases - plenty of stores do them cheap, including the likes of eBay if needed so you don’t need to print your own. Sadly this would mean doing a bit of hobby DIY to get the models off the current base and put onto the new ones. The games workshop website does have details on their store of what bases size they currently are/equivalent model. Else I believe there is a Warhammer Instructions subreddit which contains a large number of instruction books as pdfs that you can check to see what is being used. Hopefully that is some help to you!
I'm returning from 3rd edition and 40k seems to be way more complicated now. Just how many friggin different types of marine squads are there now? bolt pistol, heavy bolt pistol? 10 different kinds of bolters? wtf is this crap?
With every edition release we got more marines alongside when a lot became primaris. So I can understand the confusion returning from 8th. That being said, with the points now being for the squad sizes and not specific weapons anymore, you end up just choosing the best loadout where you can. So you wouldn't end up using half of the options.
I hate their new policy with codexes and indexes. Not being able to peek at indexes or rules for my opponents army is such a step backwards. They think people are going to buy the codex for every army to view rules when batrlescribe exists? What a disappointment.
Sooo confusing. I’m too old now I guess. Get something for free, but then have to pay for something else, so the free thing works. Buy a book, but its free, but its a card, no wait its a data sheet. No hang on, it all out of date, get something digital. Do it again three or four times a year.
I’d love for all of the Warhammer rules to be free all the time as it would make the barrier to entry so much easier for new players. Plus they make more than enough from model sales to cover it. And honestly they’d probably make more with people being able to look at different army rules whenever they wanted to!
I mean, it is not that deep. Use free indexes in the app until you get a codex, then use the code to stay updated. It is only complicated if you make it complicated. I guess if you are old school or physically only, I can see it as annoying.
Why not make a game like helldivers 2 gameplay. Instead of boring wack gameboard 🙄 Who doesn't want to be in the battlefield killing xenos and heretics in full brutality action. You see how helldivers got much attention. Meh 😅

Left as 4th Ed was starting, friend dragged me back for 10th. One game in...its really different! Appreciate the content
Welcome back to the hobby! Certainly a huge difference from 4th edition that's for sure - hopefully you're enjoying getting back up to speed :)
Fantastic video. I’m 38 now and played years ago as a teenager. This has brought me right back up to speed so thank you!
Glad you found it helpful and welcome back to the hobby 👍
Amazing insightful video - great explaination very helpful - hello from here on the south coast UK - o7
Really glad to hear you found it helpful - where abouts on the south coast are you?
@@TheCommandPhase Just north of Brighton in town called Burgess Hill have a very awesome FLGS called Dice n Drinks - where I nerd out regulary
Sounds awesome - if I'm ever in the area I'll be sure to check it out!
Really really helpful fast track - thank you!!!
You're more than welcome - Glad it helped!
Thank you for the video as someone who is trying to get into the game this made learning easier now I just have to choose an army lol
I’m glad to hear the video has been helpful! Do you have any armies you’re thinking about?
Hint hint TheCommandPhase has a few videos to help you choose hint hint winkey face. Just trying to help promote your other videos 😅
@@TheCommandPhase yes I’m torn between the sisters of battle, black templars, salamanders, thousand sons orcs or tyrnads
Those are so fun choices right there - the main question really is which models from those listed do you like the most?
@@TheCommandPhase lore wise I like the thousand sons, but I like the sisters astetecly Same with orcs

That's understandable - hopefully this and other videos on the channel can help you a little on that journey.
@@TheCommandPhase genuinely, thank you.
You're more than welcome - if you have any further questions do let me know.
@@TheCommandPhase what's a good way to get your abilities sorted so they're remembered and used?

psycher in 19:15 can he shoot combiweapon + bolter + psycher ability together ?
You can yes - so the stormbolter/combi weapon (whichever he has equipped) and purge soul. Treat it just like another model with multiple guns would be able to. So whatever weapons he has equipped you can shoot or fight with. Plus his ability vortex of doom on top 👍
Great video, very thorough. Thanks!!
I’m really glad you found it helpful!
Not allow people to get rules for your game is just so so so sad…
I’d very much love to see all of the rules for the game be free - would be a huge improvement, especially for newer players coming into the hobby.
What if i want to build an army of space marines now? Are there more faction specific rules other than what I find on the core rules? How can I read them?
So the space marines have received their codex so you’ll find all their rules in there for the units and detachments.
Great video

There are so many other miniatures games that do this better.
Core rules free.
Army rules cost money.
Simple as.
