Don’t forget that while charging you must move models within base-to-base contact now if possible, so now there is less mobility for going around with pile-in moves as, models in base-to-base contact can’t move in pile-in or consolidation

Serious question… Will you be painting your entire Tyranid army in that scheme? I would support that life choice.

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. It was great to see how the new changes shape up on the table. Quick question about ruins: My reading is that they block Los regardless of height now if a unit is on the other side? I didn’t see any mention of obscuring in there. Do I have that right?

If I’m reading this correctly my army (nids) abilities to cause battleshock won’t actually do anything because it ends during my opponents command phase anyway. So I battleshock them in my turn. Then before it would matter for them holding objectives or doing anything in their turn its over?

GW seems to be pushing battleshock and I’m worried they overestimate it like they do moral in prior editions.

This was an awesome first look at what 10th edition has in store for us. You can really see all of the hard work that went into the video in terms of production and painting! Cheers to everyone involved for a job well done.

On the second round of the battle you can’t put your reserves in the enemy deployment zone.
Great video!

This is a great, clear video for explaining the core mechanics. I have played Tyranids on and off since the nineties and never found a colour scheme I was completely happy with until now. They finally capture the sense of the Tyranids as the Star Gods of the Genestealer Cults. Will Fletcher be producing a painting guide? If not, can we have the colours to try to figure it out ourselves?

Saw a teenage lad in Morrisons earlier wearing an Inquisition T-shirt. I must have been staring for a while because when I looked at his face he had a look that said “this dude is ducking weird and I fear for my safety”.
Well that’s the power of warhammer folks… welcome to the club.

You guys mentioned in the video that its 1 epic hero per army. Looking at the core rules it looks like only 1 of each epic hero datasheet, but im not seeing the only 1 epic per army restriction. Can you guys confirm this is correct / point me to what page it might be on?

As excellent as I expected it to be!! Made such sense to skip forward some parts so that you can show off all of the different phases, one hope that I have for your first few “proper” games of 10th is a few “sidebars” or explanations as to why certain things are happening? I’m sure you will, as you guys always do a great job of explaining, but I trust that I am in capable hands going into 10th!

The core rules state “Your army cannot include the same EPIC HERO more than once.” Do you know something we don’t here?

Interesting. Love the video. One thing though: Liam Dempsey said on his stream this morning that GW had said people were only allowed to play what was in the Leviathan box? Have you guys been told different?

Can I also add that those nids look *amazing*. Is Fletcher repainting the whole of Hive Fleet Myrmidon? Because they look absolutely brilliant. The lad has an incredible talent.

Just a note on obscuring for ruins, Lawrence mentioned that it applies to the ruin because it’s over 5″ tall, but there’s no longer any height restrictions in the core rules for when obscuring applies to ruins. It now applies to all ruins. The only thing that relates to height is the new Plunging Fire rule. Other than that great and useful video! Thanks a lot for it!

I’m so hyped for 10th like, geez ! Real neat video mister Beard sir, the editing is on point ! (Just to torture you : Lawrence doesn’t mention the Repulsor when talking about his Space Marine list, I assume the clip has been lost to the warp.) I absolutely cannot wait for a full 10th edition battle report. Oh and also the board was nice like reeaaally nice, and I like the song you picked for the credits – I was surprised to hear lyrics but it gave it a sort of pop energy I didn’t expect !

…those nids… damn… that’s the best colour scheme I’ve seen for the bugs. First time I really love how they look. Fletcher is nuts. He has a fantastic sense for colour compositions in detail.
