Found your channel after Darcy Bono mentioned you. Returning to the hobby after a long hiatus and looking forward to starting on the new killteam. Thanks for doing these beginner focused videos to help me have a decent understanding before my first game at the club.

As a new player a comprehensive look at Obscuring would help so much, not only in terms of the changes but also generally in terms of the benefits of being obscured and of having the ability to remove it. I encounter so many players that try it on with (for example) removing obscuring to shoot through walls.

[johnbeaudoin]

Well done. A notable change (for me, at least) is that an operative can now have its APL positively modified in the middle of its activation. The Hand of the Archon pain tokens and the Legionaries’ Aspiring Champion are a couple examples.

[Randobar]

Seek light is nice to ignore the light cover from vantage so you can smoke out a concealed target

[Jackman]

Looking forward to having my first game soon.

I think I've figured out why the razor wire uses the "within 1 inch" phrase, and it's not for fly, it's for jump. If you can clear the razor wire from a vantage terrain with your 4" jump you don't need to pay the extra 2".

Same goes for if the razor wire is under vantage terrain, which nobody would have argued about but would technically be affected without the 1" clause. (When an operative flies, it is removed and then replaced within its movement range, so it doesn't interact with terrain at all.)

[RussellPasillas]

Thanks for the vid glass, just wanted so say I’m pretty sure now that when you go on guard in ITD, you now only take the -1 to hit on point blank shots, regular shoot actions appear to be at your normal hit stat. A nice change and it makes the Hirotek circles new guard ploy for death marks much better than it would have been last edition.

10:47 Not just you. We went round the houses with that one on our local Discord.

[Runliftfight]

It’s worth noting that you CAN climb the back of ruins legally, the issue is that models with 6” of movement do not have enough movement to do so legally.

Some models ( like Phobos, blades of khaine, and a few others) have 7” of movement making it enough distance for a legal climb

Other times some teams will get a movement boost like the Kasrkin “move fast” faction boost giving them a +1” of movement ( now total 7). Again giving them enough distance to make it a legal climb

[tiberiumnp]

Do other operatives act as light terrain aka provide cover?

[fantumfreek]

My guy Andy back on form. Love it. Keep on rolling brother xx

[diaconus]

When you can counter act and perform guard actions, especially after the last operative is expended for the turning point

[arianmoore]

Clarification on climbs: you're only rounding to the next full inch increment if the height and/or cover on the vantage to be climbed is at a partial inch increment because all moves are min 1" correct (4.25" height requires 5")?

In which case in think patrician eldar enthusiasts can make the climb and legally sit on vantage due to their 7" move abd snaller base

[joshcoady]

3:10 at least one of us didn’t know that.. 🤯

[KieranRones]

Definitely think Razor Wire could do with a wording tweak. The description in the book of moving "within" really made me think of it like someone moving near barbedwire and getting snagged, hence the cost. Your explanation makes sense but wasn't what I understood from the rules.

[slippinghalo]

No double hello??? Unsubscribed!!
Hahaha kidding of course, and this was a great video. Been building and painting my hive storm box and hope to play with some people on Tuesday.
Thanks for all your advice, I feel like I may be able to play properly because of your videos.

For counteract you can shoot even if you shot during your activation right? because you are doing this 1AP action outside of your normal activation? Also am I correct in thinking that an Astartes can shoot a silent weapon during a counteraction because they are allowed to counteract even with a conceal order and silent weapons allow you to shoot while having a conceal order? This seems very powerful.

[RobertN]

Is it still the case that free actions taken outside of the model's activation bypass limits? For example, free dashes at the Strat Ploy step or during another model's activation (Goat leader's dash, Kasrkin dash Strat Ploy) didn't prevent the target model from using a dash during their own activation.

[Nuggt]

Question you were saying climbs are measured from the top of your base. In the book it shows bottom of base?

[wannabechilllp]

4:56 speaking of back of ruins and ladders, can they be combined? Can you use a ladder on the back of ruins in order to get over even with a big model?
