needed this video

I heard "Cavalry hooves" as "Cadbury hooves," which sounds less dangerous but definitely more delicious.

Honestly, I think Hazardous should just be Hazardous (X). That way you can tailor how much it kills each unit without needing to specify damage for different keywords in the rules text. You want a plasma Inceptor to die on a botched roll? Hazardous 3. You want your warlord titan to take more than 3 damage when it’s sunfury plasma skyscraper melts down? Hazardous 10. See? Easy.

Auspex, you're like the David Attenborough of Warhammer 40K Rules

I'm excited to see the Helldrake in the corner of your video, cause you ain't ever gonna see it anywhere else lol

Very handy, especially calling out that bonus hits & wounds can’t count as critical successes.

Ah - a focus video on the one and only thing I actually like about tenth. Excellent.

my brain still says assault and heavy don't mechanically work together

A note on devastating wounds - the mortal wounds are allocated after normal damage In the video you say the assault cannon (rolling four successful wounds of which two are critical) causes 2 mortal wounds and then forces 2 saves. Actually that would be the other way round. Bit of a weird one from the Rules Commentary download, but could have a major impact against mixed or attached units.

I think Universal Keywords are one of the things that is best described in Magic the Gathering, new keywords and mechanics are introduced in almost every set, or old ones are used in creative new ways. The rules are laid out for you on the initial releases, but after a while you stop seeing the reminder text because it's become so innate to the game itself.

Bringing back USRs I think was probably one of GWs better decisions this edition, but there's some cases where it seems the rules are...unevenly distributed would be the word? Like why give bolt rifles heavy and assault when regular bolt guns get neither? Why are railguns not anti-vehicle when that's kind of their entire reason for existence? Hopefully as the codices drop some of the USRs will be shuffled around a bit to make them more consistently available.

As a tau player I don't have to worry about this video 😎

Anyone else leave auspex playing in the background while working on their pile of shame?

I really wish that they'd have left combi weapons alone, they seem more like a downgrade now and there's no more versatility.

Thank you so much for this one, nice to have examples to help explain the text!

Forgot Psychic, which only exists to get punished by Stratagems and nerf Grey Knights into the ground at the starting line.

Thank you for this video! I really needed it and it's a great summary!

amazing series on how to play, thank you Auspex

I was hoping you'd do a video like this. I was having trouble keeping the keywords all straight. I'd love to see like a one page reference sheet on this stuff.

You're an absolute beast with these uploads

Super helpful video, thank you!

Thank you so much Auspex Tactics!

Thanks! This has been a massive help

Thanks for this. People more well versed and with better memories are already using these terms as standard, and I keep needing to look them up xD

Very nice video. Cool, collected and concise. 🙂

thank you, i needed this!

Most needed video yet

Very helpful, thanks.

Thank you for this!

I really like the keyword idea but with all the space available on data card it could have the reminder text in italic like on magic cards. I don't doubt that in due time it will become mostly superfluous but in the meantime everyone is a new player

Thank you for this one!

This series is a godsend.

Kinda wish blast could come in blast (X) variants. Dunno if I'd prefer it to mean either: 1 extra attack per X models in the unit (so current blast would just be blast 5) Or X extra attacks per 5 models Leaning towards the second but either way would give more flexibility to design certain weapons as truly anti-chaff specialised.

this video is gonna be a must watch for the first few months of 10th

thanks for this video. i mean I have the list but theyre easier to learn from a video.

THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Thank you for this

Nice. Missed a few on my homemade list.

So helpful

Thank you!

Can't wait to get my 10th box this weekend

Great to know!

Ahh a 40k video with a 40k advertisement before it. How appropriate 😅

I like how Heavy Bolters aren’t Heavy and the Lance of Illumination isn’t a Lance. lol

Thank you, blessed auspex. Reading the jargon so my feeble mind will not have to.

Thx

Thank you

This is wonderful. Could you please do one explaining data cards? Some of the numbers and stats confuse me. Along with the amount of dice to use for a specific weapons stats. Such as Heavy 2 or automatic. I’m terrible with numbers so it would be greatly appreciated if you read this comment!

A devastating wounds weapon, with a critical wound causes mortal wounds. My head hurts.

Auspex is the goat

I need this video but for unit keywords!

Should've known to come here first, would've saved myself the trouble

funny choice of tank to show off the BLAST rule, regarding firing it into engagement range.

Let's goo!!

Let's gooo!!

nice video thanks alot, i dont see the 10th will be much easier streamlining though :D

"Anti" should just be automatically wounds, not critical wounds. That would fix a lot of the broken interactions

Thanks a lot for this nice summary. Did I get it right, that a critical hit is a mortal wound and no normal save/invulnerable save is possible only special rules like armour of contempt? For a better understanding GW could don‘t use some much unnecessary variables, in my suggestion.

great summary! what about psychic?

Way to make things easier GW lol.

This is a bit random, but I'd have made Blast into Blast(x), you get (x) extra shots per 5 models. Metla weapons wound Non-Titanic Vehicles on a 4+, and then made the Melta Rule +1 dmg, +1 Wound within half range (Meaning non-titanics on a 3+, and honestly most titanics on a 4+). It's a ~75% dmg boost, and makes the Melta way more reliable. I may even say a lower but more consistent base damage wouldn't be a bad idea. At least, lower for the infantry ones. They feel quite... swingy. Hazardous would be Hazardous (X), which is how many mortals you take on a fail. (Tau Ion weapons could be safer, only lightly damaging a battlesuit per 1, where as Orkguns may end up frying multiple orks in the squad). Twin Linked can grant my favorite mechanic: a modified Brutal but Cunning (Or is it Cunning but Brutal?). For every shot that fails to wound/is saved, make another shot. Don't do so for misses. You still have to roll to hit for these extra shots (So they are bad vs high evasion, and good vs thickies and shields). I know the Assault Cannon had Rend back in the day, but I'd REALLY have given it Sustained Hits over Devastating Wounds. If they want Combi-weapons to have one profile per gun, keep the three different types. Make Combi versions of special weapons higher shots but lower damage/Strength, for example the Combi-Plasma might not get dmg 2 on an overcharge but fire 3 shots (Maybe Str 5 or 6 base, +1 str, +1 shot on an overcharge?), the Combi-Melta is a one shot Melta with 1d3 damage And Rapid Fire 1 (Really want to get very close with it). The Combi-Flamer is just a higher shot weapon because Flamers tend to be fairly bad and we want this to stand up to the other guns.

I see psychic isn't on this list. I know it doesn't technically do anything, which is a real shame, but its still a keyword. 10th really is the nadir of psykers.

I’m going to have to have these keywords tattooed on my forearm, I’ll never remember them all😁

Basically a life saver

One question: if I wound a charakter (as per precision rule) do the enemy has to allocate furter, none precision wounds, to the character? Since you have to allocate wounds to wounded models in a unit? Or have I missed a rule?

Absolut unit this madlad

I feel like flamers should have some sort of blast rule. It's stuff that envelopes squads, why not?

For Hazardous Test Roll, are you able to use a re-roll for them?

Got a question about the “Lance” keyword. A Gargantuan Squiggoth has the Lance keyword for his melee weapon. Since it’s almost always wounding on a 2+ on most things, will it make it an auto wound instead?

WAT BOUT DED CHOPPY!?!?

Love the new set up. Easier for me to memorize weapon types then it is to keep track of a thousand modifiers coming from all the things that were cut

for [SUSTAINED HITS] - hit roll of 6 i not precise, as it is on Critical Hit which can be different than a 6 in certain cases e.g. Necron Flayed Ones score Critical Hit on a successful Hit roll if attacking unit below half strength (Flesh Hunger)

If you had posted this one day earlier I would have saved a good hour😂😭

I should have never started painting these minis. I want to play so bad, it's so complex, no one I know can grasp it, (nor I) and trying to remember all these rules and their 5 pound 300 page rules books and index cards and everything. Just frustrating painting for years and having armies that will never see a game table.

Question, if you have sustained hits 1 from your weapon, and sustained hits 1 from another source (e.g. dark pacts), do you get to benefit from both sustained hits clauses or only one of them?

Badly need a clarification on a rule: if a bodyguard is giving FNP to a leader and the bodyguard is killed, does the leader have that fnp until the attacking model is done making its attacks. If a leman Russ shoots the leaders units and kills all the guard, everything is happening at the same time. If you remove models and your squad is no longer visible that Russ can fire all its weapons anyways obviously, so the leader would also retain the FNP until that Russ finishes firing, losing it for all other models obviously. Is this how this works, this is how I read it for sure.

Niceee

So heavy keywords mean adding 1 to the number on each dice rolled. So for example a unit of 4 SM and a Sargent with chainsword, for shooting the bolters while stationary would be roll 8 dice for hit roll and for each of those dice add 1 to the result?

So for the pistol rule say I am in engagement range or combat with an enemy unit with assault intercessors, they can shoot the target the fought in the previous turn then they can fight a normal combat round?

It looks like Games Workshop's partnership with Wizards of the Coast (the creators of Magic the Gathering) had paid off! I mean, look at all of those abilities that they keyworded, eh? ^_^

Back in more sensible times we wouldnt have needed a 23min vid on what types weapons are, 10th is makin me nervous

That Pistol wording is horrific, literally contradicts itself.

For Twin Linked, do you need to reroll all the dice? Or just the ones that failed to wound?

hello, is someone can tell me if I can allocate over kill damage done with precision to the others figurines of the squad after the character is dead?

Oh great Aupex! If you cannot key both sustained hits and lethal hits then what is the use for the undivided mark for csm?

Thank you I can’t find these in my core rule book :( Once the chaise deamon pictures come up I start flipping the pages fast. 😅

Any idea how multiple hazardous work? Psychic powers seem to have hazardous option + Infernal Enrapturess makes all psychic weapons hazardous. Does it stack somehow like rolling a die for each hazardous keyword? Or is it no effect on already hazardous weapons?

I no longer read 40k rules. I just absorb them through Auspex Tactics videos like some sort of deep sea invertibret.

Missed out Psychic!

I still don't see why all the "Hits" rules weren't just called "Crits" instead since they trigger on critical wounds, and not just hit rolls.

Does Firing Deck subtract the unit and/or special weapon abilities of ranged weapons of the embarked models??

Can indirect fire penalty and unit in cover stack the benefit of cover?

I cant find any information on this question, how does lethal hits stack with torrent? The death guard combat patrol, the biologus putrifier gives the plague marines lethal hits. But one of them has torrent on their flamer. Do you roll the to hit anyway to see what are crits and count the rest anyway) (because they automatically hit) Or does lethal hits just not affect weapons with torrent?

Can you make a tutorial video on how to play warhammer 40k.... I just collect and paint but really want to play the table top game

Hazardous should not be killing models outright. There should be a save involved. How does not being able to stack Lethal and Sustained Hits work when CSM can stack these?

Question: Assault. Are you able to declare a charge after you advanced and shot? Can't find a rule that says no. Please help. If you can with Core Rules Page :)

Stupid question : regarding on modifier, for example if its +1 hit roll, is it applied after roll (result hit roll 4 -> 5) or before roll (EG +3 Hit toll -> +2 Roll)?

Damn was really hoping for a clarification me and my friends have with 1 shot weapons. I get that they can only be shot once. But when is it considered "Shot". We go down the list of weapons and assign them targets. Lets say I full target the enemy tank. If I kill the tank with other weapons before I do anything with my one-shot weapon. Is it still used? Is targeting and declaring the target with the weapon considered "shooting" the weapon, As all weapons are shoot at the same time. OR is it only used when you go to roll dice for it. Meaning it preserves your one shot weapon if you get lucky and kill your target before rolling it.

Infiltrators having [heavy] instead of [precise] or [ignores cover] on marksman carbines is baffling
