In this Warhammer 40k in 40 minutes we focus on gameplay and you will get a bit more insight into strategy and what is going on in the minds of the players. Nick has his newer shiny T'au codex and Tak will have to use tricks and tactics to try and dance around some very big guns. What happens when Ultramarine hubris marches into a heavily fortified T'au Space Fortress? What is mightier? The Emperor's Sword or a Railgun?

Outcomes be damned. I would watch Tak over and over again. a great strategist and a tremendous sport. Even with the terrain stacked against him he was a champ in my book. Am I the only one who literally cheered when Roboute rose again? My kids thought I lost my mind.

Spent today as Salamanders vs Iron Warriors, we both wound up slugging to Turn 5 because that -1 to AP as a global rule is absolutely a factor. Both of us in previous games often got tabled on turn 2 or so. Sallies get it a bit better cus that replacement to their take on it, the reroll wound block, also can be quite crippling, especially if, say, you rely on reroll 1s to make your big hitter units perform better like oblits/Master of Possession combos that basically are omnipresent in CSM lists right now

A -1 AP weapon like a heavy bolter or most breeds of autocannon are treated as AP 0 as a pretty common example (more ironic considering the heavy bolter was hyped to be a 2 wound marine counter at the start of 9th by GW itself)

@locutus9956 2 жыл бұрын

(I get Taks rationale in that staying put is guarenteed 4 points vs a potential -5 to Nick but the thing I feel he undervalued was there is more at stake there than the points, staying put in the middle gets you those 4 points but your as good as guarenteeing Gulliman dies next turn (3+ to hit then 2+ to basically auto kill with the railgun with rerolls youre on some pretty slim numbers for that NOT to happen ;)

In hindsight it may have taken 5 points away from Nick however as I said in the video, it was a decision made in the moment based on how the game was going. My dice were not great and Guilliman had already failed to kill the Commander earlier in the game. Where I put him I was hoping the only shot Nick would reliability get was the railgun versus charging the Hammerhead, failing to kill it, and then becoming exposed to all the other T'au guns and not scoring any points. I admit, not the most heroic or fun action on the table, but I was hoping that the dice would go my way and Nick could have missed with the Hammerhead. He did in the previous game.
