Thank you guys for this videos, I can see that some things are so simple for you, that you hold your laughs, but believe me, for a new player or returning after long hiatus (me) this kind of content is PURE GOLD, easy to process while painting, without need to hard focus, so keep it up!

[jisimuplay]

Great video and good explanations. A couple of things that could make it even better: Use the data sheet for the units you are talking about to avoid confusion for beginners and in the end when you talk about 3 times of weapons avoid calling them anti as this can be confused with the keyword anti.

[taylorcampbell]

I truly appreciate you going through every step and not assuming anything is obvious. I always mix up the “line of sight by model” and “range by unit” considerations.

[jasonstimson]

Dang i really appreciate these shorter form videos. The 2 hour long tutorials i just get lost

[sigmareite]

Thank you for posting these beginner videos

[livingdeadgirlk]

bingewatching the series. And will come back to refresh before a battle. Happy to have this so thank you guys, keep up the fantastic work and btw Necron fan so looking forward to see Necrons too

[davidroberts]

One thing that tripped me up is that it's not the shooting model to target model. It's each shooting model to the target unit(s) which is essentially one model in the target unit. If three can shoot at least one model in the unit then damage can be assigned to the rest of the unit even if a death makes the rest out of range.

Some exceptions exist.

[afrancisco]

Great video guys, made it idiot proof for me when we play with handles

[Yamahobbit]

absolutely the best how to break down. Bravo gentlemen!

[cadianth]

Nice simple video for explaining the rules. Will there be a bit about shooting in to and out of terrain, such as ruins?

[xpresso_joe]

The team here flexing on play on victory dice.

0:48 I’ve seen battle reports where they use psychic attacks while in melee. I’ve heard conflicting arguments about this.

Can psychic characters use their psychic ability in melee?

[lewisnash]

Love what you’re doing. Super helpful.

[mrcrowley]

I'm a new player, and I found this video useful 👌 ❤

[ninjamikeus]

So with the Infiltrators behind the crate, even the models completely behind the crate can be shot at with the benefit of cover? If that’s true, what would ever be the point of peeking a single model out from behind cover?

[theophrastusbombastus]

"Eligible" and "Illegible" are two words with very different meanings.

[davidsonfamily]

So models shoot units? Like if 2 of my squad of 10 can see 2 of your squad of 10, I can shoot with just the two, and if I score 2 kills you can remove any two models from the unit I shot at?

[angelaguilar]

Determining visibility model by model I know it’s pretty clear but can someone explain where this came from it’s not in the rule book and my buddy has been arguing that if a unit has cohesion but only half has line of sight then that whole unit can fire?

[iisaka_station]

Hey guys thanks for the content. Just wanna ask, is it the close proximity to the barrel that gives the benefit of cover to the infantry you can’t draw line of sight to?

What I’m really wondering, is: if they are standing out in the open, but the attacking unit can’t draw line of sight to all the models, do the ones not visible get the benefit of cover?

Thank you. Hope my question wasn’t too poorly worded

[davidmcminn]

Still trying to wrap my head around visibility a little bit. You say it's done on a model by model basis. Ok so, say I have a 10 model unit and you have a 10 model unit. Two of your models can see one of my models, the rest cannot see any part. Your 2x models can shoot my unit and do so. They have 1 attack each, which both wound and are 2dmg weapons. So inflict 2x wounds for 2 dmg each. My models have 2 wounds each and fail to save. Do I kill the one model that was visible? Or two, and I can chose to remove models that were not visible to the attacking unit? I think it's 2x models dead and I can remove models of my choosing, but want to get this right
