What's up guys! This is an update to my original guide / tutorial on playing 10th Edition Warhammer 40k on Tabletop Simulator. I was able to clear up a few quirks from the original & update this for 2024!
I've had a few people asking about what program I'm using to make my Warhammer 40k videos, so I wanted to put together a short guide going over the basics on how to install, setup & play 40k on Table top Simulator in 2024. Whether you play casual or competitive, TTS is one of the more valuable resources we have access too - give it shot!
In this TTS tutorial for wh40k I'll be covering everything from army creation, using the Steam Workshop, which 40k mods to use, how to use BattleScribe to make an army, playing missions, practicing & more!
Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help with armies as well, whether it's army lists, tips, etc. If I missed anything important be sure to let me know so I can leave a pinned comment
Please consider liking & subscribing if you enjoyed the content & check out my other vids for more 40k tactics, reviews & lore!

Update: for generating armies, they also have ForceOrg which has more up to date models vs BattleForge. If you'd care to check those out as well I'll post a link below: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3137407072

Archon me and my friends have been playing TTS 40k for years without any of the basics you provided in this video. Thanks a ton this helps alot

@fatarchon Ай бұрын

Oh man, I get shown random things I never knew about all the time too. It's wild how deep TTS is. That's awesome to hear though, wasn't sure this'd be all that useful for experienced players but apparently I stand corrected hah Appreciate ya Alpharius

Let me know if you guys have any questions or if I missed anything important! The more people we can get into the 40k community the better so I really hope this is helpful for some of you guys out there. Sincerely, don't be nervous about TTS, 99% of my experiences have been nothing but positive so don't hesitate to give it a shot

it can't replace playing IRL, but its the second best thing. thanks for the video

Couldn't agree more! Nothing will ever replace having an excuse to go out & meet peeps or show off my models, but it's not *that* far behind hah

@Raikoh067 Ай бұрын

Be aware that the Battleforge mod pack hasn't been updated since back in 9th edition, and the new standard is ForceOrg. In your video, you can see the "Start-Here" channel just under the "start-playing" channel. THATS the new one we are pointing people towards. I'm not sure why Malice (the person who runs the server) hasn't removed the old channel yet.

@fatarchon Ай бұрын

Good looking out! I just checked it out & yeah those look great. I'll add a pinned comment so others can see it too Thats funny, obviously I'm am old timer so yeah kinda silly they're leaving up the old channel if it's not the most up to date

Great video! Would you happen to know of an updated map with the pariah nexus rules and deployment zones? Getting a game together this weekend and wanna try out all the new rules

@fatarchon Ай бұрын

Hey man, tyvm! So the FTC mod was already updated with Pariah Nexus actually - if you don't already have it I *believe* there's a link in the description (otw look for "FTC competitive base" on the Workshop). I'm not sure about maps for the 'stepped' deployments yet but a lot of the normal ones still work. With FTC you can select either Leviathan or Pariah Nexus from a little selector right next to the scorecard, has all the new deployments & missions built into it Hope that helps :)

This seems like it could be a great way for me to learn kill team solo for a while... i foresee an evening or ten of learning tabletop sim stuff

@fatarchon Ай бұрын

Dangit, now I wish I brought that up! TTS is fantastic for solo practice. Sometimes I just want to test out a combo or list & I can do a few test rolls real quick. Obviously let's you take your time when learning the game itself more too :) There's for sure TTS Kill Team players out there. Heck pretty much every game ever has a community on there hah Either way, great point & I'm glad this could hekp point you in TTS' direction

@shawnsmith7375 17 күн бұрын

I've never used TTS but I'm thinking of purchasing it now during the summer sale on steam. You showed how to create a multiplayer game for me and my friends. Great - so how do they find the game and join it? Thanks - this video is fantastic and really sells TTS. It looks incredible. (Now if only i had unlimited free time - hah)

@fatarchon 17 күн бұрын

You normally do that thru the discord, should around 31:18 - to find a friends match the server browser will have a search bar so you'd just search for the game name :)

I've been looking for people to help teach me how to play 40k on TTS for a little while now, i'd love to get into this. I'm collecting Tyranids IRL and want to learn how to play better and use the more advanced rules (IRL we play with very basic rules for now)

@fatarchon Ай бұрын

Hell yeah man, I'm glad you were able to find this video in that case! For real don't *at all* be afraid to hop on the TTS Discord & just ask if anyone would be willing to show you the ropes. All the time I see people willing to help & they're genuinely some of the kinder folks out there. Everyone's gotta start somewhere hah I'd recommend starting out with a 1k list or lower & then use either @LFG Beginner or @Mentor in the chat. They'll show you everything from 40k to anything else I might've missed I'd also recommend googling "Wahapedia Core Rules" if you want to brush up on anything (you can also Google Wahapedia Tyranids as well)

@@nicorioule4869 glad to help! To save a game, select Games from along the top menu > save/load > save game, then give it a name. To load it you'd go to the same menu & just load the icon for your game. Hopefully that all makes sense!

@fkaroundhandleit Ай бұрын

I'd love to get back into 40k if only I had people to play with again, idk why it's so hard to get people to play or into the game. I've got a 3d printer and tons of armies, and even have bought people TTS, but nobody plays, that seems to be the theme for 40k I played quite abit of 10th edition combat patrol, and a lot of OPR on tts. Atm I am playing wow cata classic tho.

@fatarchon Ай бұрын

If you haven't already, try joining the discord for any local stores around you. That's one of the best ways to get games setup / meet folks

@fkaroundhandleit Ай бұрын

@@fatarchon Sadly no local shops around me, besides a gw store, but they're small, and I am not sure if they'd want people playing there, pretty much just showing newbies with a show. The other semi local store was roughly 30mins+ from me, and they moved further away, due to covid or a flood.

I found Tabletop Simulator very useful to create most of the scenarios and narratives I wondered about, like Astra Militarim against monsters of a Death World or fighting against primitives on a new colony. The problem is I don't have players anymore. 😂

Is there a way to wipe the map after you've confirmed it? I feel like i'm missing something obvious, there must just be a way to clear the map.

@fatarchon Ай бұрын

Not that I'm aware, BUT, I have to do that all the time myself (esp when doing the detachment reviews hah) - all you do is just reload FTC. Takes like 10sec once you get your rhythm down Thats part of the reason I like loading maps first. If you had models out you could just CTRL+C them, reload FTC then CTRL+V them back Hope that helps!

Hmmm, you dont have numlock on do you? I'd also check it with multiple models in case it's a random bug, otherwise check the settings menu to see if theres a hidden setting somewhere. That's definitely an odd one!

ForceOrg and BattleForge work differently, and I'm not sure how to use ForceOrg and also have the cards up from Yellowscribe at the same time.

@fatarchon Ай бұрын

Well you convert them from BattleScribe or that .eu link I sent you. Tbh man you might try rewatching the video & following along with by either reducing the speed or pausing at it goes along. I have a different version from last year that might make more sense too (it shows a diff way to make armies). If all else fails & there's nothing on Google you might have to do it the old fashioned way until we can get it figured out :)

@fatarchon The part we were overlooking was the little yellow button that is the ForceOrg/Yellowscribe interface on the bottom part of the page. Got that figured out and got my Orks vs his Necrons good to go for tomorrow. Trash lists - I care a lot less about winning when I'm not playing Imperium forces. I always wanted to play xenos and Chaos because I can laugh just as hard if I get krumped. Thanks again for the video. Helped a TON with the learning curve.
