How to Play Warhammer 40k. Space Marines vs Tyranids Demo Game

Thank you so much for watching our How-to-play video! We try to be as accurate as possible however some things slipped through. We are noting those here on this comment. We hope this video helps you have fun games of Warhammer 40,000. We are aware that GW has stated the box is not balanced in points between the two sides. In this video we are focusing on game mechanics, concepts, and fun so please forgive us for playing unequal sides. We appreciate everyone who has caught these things in our video. Thank you! 1:45 we say an army must have a LEADER but it is actually a CHARACTER. When we reference Warlord it does not require the LEADER keyword. 29:28 Nick declares 9 shots and rolls 10 dice. Sorry this is simply an error on our side. It was a big shoot and we missed this one. D6 shots is equal to the number you roll on a die. That weapon does have BLAST for 1 attack per 5 models in a unit but this was not the case here either.

It's hilarious how it started off all serious and calm and tutorial natured but by turn 2/3 you can see they are fully into it and feeling the game and having fun lol

Absolute Hobby Giga Chads, I believe you gentlemen helped a lot of people get through Nurgles Plague

Your painter deserves a raise, those are beautiful minis

ill be completely honest. I've played the game for years now and gained almost nothing watching this, but I found myself wanting to watch more even so. this video, I feel is a testament to the quality of content this channel now produces and its a level of quality matched by, in my opinion, no other wargaming channel. your channel makes very well made and easily digestible videos that really helped me to get into the hobby myself. Play on!

Shadow in the warp only affecting the librarian is just perfect

This is probably the best how-to video I’ve seen for 40K. I’ve not played a game since 2nd edition but I pre-ordered the Leviathan box so I’m really eager to get my Dark Angels out for a game. This video really helped. I think I’ll be able to hit the ground running and (hopefully) not get completely annihilated when I start rolling dice again. Love you guys.

Brilliant walk-through gents. Just a quick shout out To the whole team. Your production values are always top notch!

Brand new to 40k, videos like these are invaluable to me. The quality is top notch. Best 40k vids I've seen on YouTube.

It's so funny, I started watching the 40K in 40 mins one day because I didn't want to sink an entire hour into watching, and have continued to watch various battles, picking up what niche rules I could decipher by watching. This did an amazing job of showing the rules and how you get to the X+ for hits, wounds, and PARTICULARLY how sustained hits and mortal wounds worked, since those are really tough to figure out without the rulebook. Awesome video :D

That lieutenant holding on like a beast was so good

This is probably the best video I've ever seen.

I will be returning to this video often as someone who is picking up the 40K via the Leviathan Box… this has been extremely helpful as someone brand spanking new to Warhammer ☺️

Knowing that the tyrannids are less powerful in the Leviathan box set this was an incredible battle !

PlayOnTabletop is definitely the best thing that happened to Warhammer 40k tbh <3

With such addition of great visual features, I want to suggest one extra thing. Subtitles! Not only it provides more accessibility, people from non-english speaking countries like myself can get that extra help. And of course, it is optional! People can enjoy with or without it. Thanks always for the great contents!

Discovering this channel as I re-emerge back into this hobby for the first time in 15 years. Absolutely fantastic flow and production.

That Lieutenant didn’t have artificer armor, he had plot armor

I fell in love with the lore a year ago. You guys made me fall in love with the game, now i cant get enough of it. You are the best, and thank you ❤️
