Yeah recently took me and a buddy 6 hours to play 2 rounds... in our defence we both started playing 40k in 10th edition and we had more like 12-15 data sheets each. We where playing Tyranids vs SM and could likely have played highlander mode.
Played a tournament yesterday and your dice trick saved me 5ish minutes every game! Usually played with 36dice(abox) and some rnd dice to add. This time used 36 and another 14 of one colour. Man i finished my three games in 1h06min, 54min and 1h02min. ALL Games played out till R5 (i mean R5 takes 2min usually but still^^) Thanks a lot, this gives some free minutes wich could save my ass in harder/more chaotic games!
Great tips as always! One I thing I might add (as someone who has timed out at tournaments before) is to consider time as a resource in list design as well. Some units are going to just play slower than others, if I am playing sisters with 30 arcos that have 2 wounds each, a 4+ fnp, and a bucket of attacks I know that will be a heavy investment of my clock so I look for places I can save time in my list elsewhere.
@@theblackantonio the struggle is real for sure, I dont know of any app and I think if you're playing in a tournament you have to roll them. My best advice is do batches of 30, precount dice like mentioned in the vid, and get a dicebox if you dont have one already.
One piece of advice for playing while your learning your datasheets. Activate your units systematically. I have a binder that I have all my cards in. Leader is always on top of the body gaurd. I start with the unit and go through the stack. It might not be ideal strategically, but as you learn your sheets, you can start mixing things up. At that point, I try to keep my sheets in the same order so they are easy to find if needed.
The first game I played was infinity. It was very easy to overthink because of all the risks. As I was learning the game I realized I would rather make quick mistakes vs taking forever to think things through and so making a mistake.
I don't play tournaments and am unlikely to in the future, however I play a weekly 2k game that takes us a ridiculous 10 hours to play, which means we have to split it into 2 sessions and it doesn't even feel like we're spending lots of unnecessary time doing anything in particular. I haven't watched the video yet, (I'm about to), but it sure would be great to cut our time in half at least, so we can play more often.
Some ideas - if you are playing with your buddies, have the host setup terrain ahead of time (you can adjust before you play) - use squad bases so you don't have to move individual models - use the dice your opponent rolled to wound your guys to make your saves - exchange lists the day before the game so you can read up on your opponent's army rules - print out a cheatsheet with your army rules (quicker than looking through index or book)
I think you will be SHOCKED how much time you will save. There is essentially no reason to ever have a game go longer than 3 hours outside of a learning game!
So, after watching, my biggest take-aways from it for me personally, are, 1, memorise the frickin' data sheets and stratagems etc, (yeah I've been struggling with that and always end up spending time flipping through, trying to find the sheet that I need each time), 2, have an overall game plan and 3, plan my next turn during my opponents turn. I've definitely got some work to do there, but if I can manage those, I'll come back for some more things to try.
@@Happykrumpingwargaming0073 hours or less sure would be awesome. It feels completely unattainable at the moment, but hopefully practise and experience, as well as working on the key points listed, will help a lot.
@@Vampyr98thanks. We do have cheat sheets and use the same dice, (mostly), but setting up beforehand would definitely save almost an hour just on it's own.
Great advice. It also is the core of why I play slow - I try out new units and have a lot of different dataslates. This results in looking up stuff all the time. And for stategy, I try to accomplish ALL the secondaries. Food for thought. Beerhammer or 2 hour games 🤔
I played with a clock for the first time at a team tournament last weekend! Orks against nids and it definitely made my game speed up, I also feel like I handled the pressure pretty well and took a big win for the orks! Thanks for the content dude!
Thank you buddy, as usual you rock \m/ ! As a Daemons player, I've spent a lot of time practicing how to orientate these huge "miniatures", but also getting to grips with the 3", 6" and 9" distances (i'm a noob) so I can see at a glance whether it's worth trying or not, and save time in the process
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 actually... No. I'm playing a gravis twin-linked list of Ultramarines who got destroyed by nerf and I always lose because Im already playing with a couple of unit less then my opponent and when I lose 1-2 unit I cannot hold the battlefield anymore. Inceptor cannot wipe a enemy unit with a 3 man squad and besides armour of contempt I Ve no more way to defend them.
Great vid,saving it and rewatching it on the regular untill i git fst. I already have half the tek down apparently. One of the things i do in addition is to help my opponent move big blobs of infantry and ask for the same
hey me again the bad english newby :D i saw this video. Played today orks greentide vs Chaosdemons . The stuff with "Ask your enemy : if i do this can you do something againts this in your oppinion ?" ... Its makes the game soooo less stressfull . Thanks dude !
Nice contents…i really appreciate it…in this video you talk about your custodes strategy of controlling 2 objective and deny primary…do you think that would be a good strategy for world eaters too? I’m new to the army 😅
Since my first comp, I was always told to play everyone on the clock regardless of who it is. any time I didn't I regretted it. Having The dice in groups helps a lot with orks.
I basically require it as a pre requisite for a game against me. That does not mean i always clock my opponent either, for example when i am teaching newer clients, i dont make them go dice down, but i still use a clock so i can demonstrate to them how important time management is.
What is a good example of an Ork game plan? How do you formulate a game plan? Feel like every game my whole focus is to just krump on the waagh and see what happens but that’s because I don’t know what else I’m supposed to be doing Edit: playing against tsons mostly if it matters!
So it depends on whether your intend to table your opponent or win on points. One example (albiet boring) would be to park 2 trukks full of boyz and grots on 2 objectives, screen your opponents movement. Guarentee a 16 on deploy and max on cleanse. while scoring 40 on primary and never advancing past midfield
Ive known someone who used the clock as a weapon in the most unsportsmanlike way, he would roll hits, then wounds and leave the dice on the board and say "whatever of these dice are 4 or higher" then hit the clock over.
The one thing you mentioned in here that is absolutely unheard of to me, and would never in 100 years fly locally, is rolling someone else's saves- if I'm understanding that bit correctly. I don't know if there's anything you could do that would more quickly make people pissy with you here than rolling *their* dice, unless they explicitly told you that you could and that it was fine. So I, ah. Yeah I don't think I'll follow that advice. *That* is going to get you labeled as 'That Guy', not stopping someone to roll your own dice for your armor saves each time you need to take them. Again, at least it will around here.
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 You're right, yeah. I'd even gone back and listened to that part about armor saves a few times yesterday, I just didn't back it up far enough and I'm thinking my mind must have been somewhere else when you said you bring a literal chess timer/clock with you. That or I skipped it like a doofus. In spite of the compulsion to explain myself, though, I wont sit and try to excuse myself or anything like that. Frankly I'm more than a little embarrassed that I made such an easily avoided mistake and then left that comment, so in a few hours after you've seen this I might delete the original comment there just so it doesn't clutter up your comments section or mislead anyone that gets into the video and then jumps down into the comments right away or anything like that. And, for whatever little it may be worth, there was no ill intent or anger behind that comment, more so just confusion and disbelief with regards to the misunderstanding.
My first 2000pt game of 40K was back in 1994, took two evenings on my dad's pool table vs my brother, probably 8 or 9 hours 😂. Now I can get through a 2K game in 2 hours vs an opponent who knows their list well.
Status update: Still took over 3 hours to play 3 rounds, but got tabled on round 3 so I can say I can play a game in 3 hours now! Also previous game was 1k, this game was 2k so I'm definitely playing faster. Divvying up dice in 10s was the biggest speed gain for me, but I'll also be working on memorizing my datasheets.
Always feels bad when you beat an opponent or lose to one on time because you literally can't take actions besides saving throws and fighting if youre already in combat. I had this happen recently at a GT opp ran out of time midway through r3...
I was playing tyranids unending swarm with about 200 horms and terms too with the strategy of just clogging objectives. Ended up skipping through a lot of my phases to save time since movement is super time exhaustive
I am always playing with a chess clock after a tournament game against a new casual player who wasted our shared gametime after his turn 3 before my turn 3 started. I played Tau so my army gains a huge benefit from battleround 3 onwards... (Kauyon sucks and I am desperately waiting for the new Tau Codex)
I dont agree Kauyon sucks at all, It just means you cannot allow your opponent to pressure you pre rd 3. If you are relatively un touched by the start of rd 3 you essentially will auto table any army in the game
As a new dad, if I could play 2k games in under 3 hours I’d be able to play a lot more often. Right now it takes me nearly 6 😢. Last game I played. There were some players a table over that played 2 games while we just finished turn 3
Work on these tips my friend! I also highly recommend TTS we have several dads, my brother included who play on our TTS tournaments, it is super flexible because you can “save” a game. Makes it easy to play for an hour or two , hit “save” and finish the game a day or two later. Nice to account for children interrupting:)
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 do you have a discord/community where I could find players? I’ve downloaded TTS and set up almost a year ago but never actually played a game
Yeah man, pretty robust community in our membership side of the discord, the free side is not as active but you can always try there as well! discord.gg/KGdK3gvQ
Clocks should absolutely become the norm for anything but buddyhammer and teaching sessions, literally almost every other competitive game in existence uses a clock for a reason The arguments about not using one because it can be weaponized pretty nonsensical, it’s blatantly obvious when someone attempts to do this and can be stopped by a simple conversation Agree with the tips about always be thinking about your next move, piles of dice, memorize or print out your rules, and most importantly of all play by intention People can easily adapt to a slightly higher standard and it will result in faster and much higher quality games
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 the very last thing I want to do is screw myself on my opponent by forgetting the strength of damage of a psychic attack. They are a huge part of my output and can swing games.
I lost a RT tournament game to a tau player by 8 points because he got to burn 2 hours and 30 minutes of our 3 hours. It didn't matter that i was going to table him by turn 4. He got 3 turns, i only got 2. Really disrespectful to eat time like that on purpose.
When planning your turn during your opponent's turn, do you measure movemet, threat ranges etc while your opponent is doing their attacks? Or do you make a plan and then make quick measurements and some small adjustments during your turn as needed?
There's me looking to save 30 minutes on a 4 hour game, and I'm reading people playing 10 hour games, I couldn't play with people going that slow, what are they doing on their opponent's turn. Sleeping?
i dont expect my opponent to memorize every single movement profile or special ability in my army. If i have a unit that has the ability to get to where they are asking about, and it has the ability, i will tell them when they ask
To speed up FNP rolls just roll as if it were an armour save then reroll successes until you run out of damage. Say I take 5 D2 wounds on my 1w Death korps of krieg with death korps marshal I just roll 5 dice and reroll any 5's or 6's
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 I don’t doubt it but as a new player (playing infantry guard) I’m still very slow and the person training me played knights lol
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 true. To be honest i already remember most of them. Only problem is when i swap stats(sv and move) of ballistus dred and Baal predator. But i will get there.

@Happy&Healing regular uploads are starting there next week!
I find that custodes are great for playing fast. But when my friend plays CSM he loses on clock all the time lol
I play horde orks on a clock with no problem :P it just takes practice! The clock is our friend!
Great content A++
Cheers buddy, i appreciate the support :)
Memorising my thousand sons list is borderline impossible 😂 so many leaders
hahaha in this edge case of Tsons, that very well may be true :P
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 the very last thing I want to do is screw myself on my opponent by forgetting the strength of damage of a psychic attack. They are a huge part of my output and can swing games.
I lost a RT tournament game to a tau player by 8 points because he got to burn 2 hours and 30 minutes of our 3 hours. It didn't matter that i was going to table him by turn 4. He got 3 turns, i only got 2. Really disrespectful to eat time like that on purpose.
yeah its nonsense, always use a clock
I all but refuse to memorize the indomitor kill team sheet -- because dear god... they are mixed beyond belief! lol
haha i can respect that, i am pretty much set on normal kill team vets for my deathwatch :P
When planning your turn during your opponent's turn, do you measure movemet, threat ranges etc while your opponent is doing their attacks? Or do you make a plan and then make quick measurements and some small adjustments during your turn as needed?
always! I do all of that stuff while my opponent is thinking
DATZ KUNNIN AN BRUTAL
sneaky sneaky
Is the discord purely paying members
No there is a free side as well
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 might just join properly next week
Would love to have you
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 thanks bro you're sound
There's me looking to save 30 minutes on a 4 hour game, and I'm reading people playing 10 hour games, I couldn't play with people going that slow, what are they doing on their opponent's turn. Sleeping?
haha, well sometimes people use the game as background noise to just hanging out
Is it appropriate to send this video to people at my game shop? 😂
haha please do, i wont say no to having the vids shared :P
I don't agree about asking someone if they can see you, line of site is on you unless its a gotcha.
i dont expect my opponent to memorize every single movement profile or special ability in my army. If i have a unit that has the ability to get to where they are asking about, and it has the ability, i will tell them when they ask
My problem is rolling about 76 dice at a single time...
take it in 40's haha
To speed up FNP rolls just roll as if it were an armour save then reroll successes until you run out of damage.
Say I take 5 D2 wounds on my 1w Death korps of krieg with death korps marshal I just roll 5 dice and reroll any 5's or 6's
ahh this is actually not the correct way to do it, although many people find it acceptable :)
I like the faster games! But it favors elite armies and punishes hoard armies…
i run a 130 model ork army very easily using these methods my friend.
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 I don’t doubt it but as a new player (playing infantry guard) I’m still very slow and the person training me played knights lol
Hmm why its play time manly a issue with gw systems…
Its an issue with any competitive game. Every single one i can think of at least
I think i have shot my self in a leg. 13 SM/BA unique datasheets.
haha, but be honest with yourself. how many of those datasheets come up more than once or twice a game?
@@Happykrumpingwargaming007 true. To be honest i already remember most of them. Only problem is when i swap stats(sv and move) of ballistus dred and Baal predator. But i will get there.
And if you play high model armies you are screwed.😂
no sir, i easily run a 130 model ork army with 0 issues
I got much faster since I am able to Play one Game per week.
The reps certainly help my man!
Risk players and 8 player 50 turn Mario Party 7 players: 3 hours pathetic.
:P
