As someone looking to get into tournament play, this series is just super helpful in figuring out what I do and don’t need. Keep being awesome!
-
I also recommend glue for emergency repairs. Never been to a tournament without something snapping off.
-
Getting ready now for my first tournament coming up in May and this series has been awesome! Extra awesome for providing the list in the description.
-
Really hope Steve tells us about that Dark Angels list he he got on that tray. I am fairly new to the hobby(close to 2 years now). I would absolutely love learning something new about my army from him! Great Vid as always fellas❤
-
Prepping for Battlefield Birmingham 22 in March, a little way off now but need to get my head into the game! Death Guard rhino rush list, booooooyeah!
-
Is it too soon to make a "Tournament prep Item #1, read your stratagems properly" joke? I'd also add some small, no mess snacks like fruit snacks. People really underestimate how tired you can feel after standing for 8/12 hours mostly on end. Especially towards those later stages, a nice little boost of sugar can make the difference.
-
Wait, objective markers? Wouldn't those be provided alongside the terrain at a tournament table?
-
No issues with metal models as a carry on while traveling by air?
-
Question about army lists and wargear: When you have a unit in your army, does the wargear for that unit have to have the same wargear all the time through the entire tournament?
-
Played 40K since I was 11… I’m now 35. Always casually with a small group of friends. In recent years I’ve been more and more drawn to the idea of trying out a tournament but something keeps holding me back. I’m not sure what.
-
+1 for deodorant, I bring a can every time and make no secret of applying it, break the stigma, its not nice being surrounded by a miasma of BO, yours or others after a 2 day GT 😂
-
Not something you need to bring, but please take personal hygiene seriously. You're going to be on your feet in a stressful situation for hours. No one wants to play against someone that smells like nurgle.
-
Wasn't paying attention. Forgot models and pissed on the table.
