Learning to play Warhammer 40k in a reasonable time is something that I never really cared about until I realised that time is precious and spending many hours over a game that could take an evening is silly. Or something, I dunno I have a justification here.
Mostly I just wanted to play a game where I tried out using a chess clock to see what it was like, and what kind of things you can learn from going fast. Learning how to play fast is a good skill anyway, but it also helps remove analysis paralysis which is a cause for slow games, at least for me. There's no point agonising over a decision if it's going to be a bad one anyway, so you might as well shoot from the hip and deal with the consequences so you can learn more, quicker.
Tournaments don't always require a chess clock, but they are on a strict deadline and chess clocks keep one player from hogging all the time. We played this very loosely, more as a guideline to keep us honest and not slowing down, and I still ended up with 8 minutes left after 5 rounds. Sure it was Screaming Ravens vs Grey Knights where the Grey Knights teleporting shenanigans meant some turns took less than 3 minutes but still. Fun game.
I won't talk about how the Nemesis Dread Knight had 1 health left because of a low rolled explosion from my Stormraven and a hit going through from a single Devastator Centurion that needed to literally just not roll a 1 for damage and, of course, rolled a 1, because my dice are cursed. I made other mistakes that the dice didn't cause.
I can still be salty about it though lmao.
