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.

Left as 4th Ed was starting, friend dragged me back for 10th. One game in...its really different! Appreciate the content

[BrettHolt-uk]

Amazing insightful video - great explaination very helpful - hello from here on the south coast UK - o7

[paulmoran]

Really really helpful fast track - thank you!!!

[Kessler]

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!

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.

Greetings from Germany, im a restarter, your Video give me a good Overview, thx!

[nappymcpott]

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

[TheBugB]

Oooh okay okay…. I’m new but old? I just started but I’ve been really really slow with my starting. It’s been like a year HAHAHA. Thanks for this lad

[Korrack]

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

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.

[mcyy_poe]

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?

[jezza]

psycher in 19:15 can he shoot combiweapon + bolter + psycher ability together ?

[PoYi-fizt]

Not allow people to get rules for your game is just so so so sad…

[Mdogg]

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.

[trancedarkdust]

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.

[reklamador]

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 😅

[Luvulong]

I go u go sux 4 me
Kill team is so much fun.
