One thing of note: APG mostly describes the situation in the US! Many European players use a different system of competitive rules called ETC, and European torunaments generally follow that system.
I'm really thankful I found your channel awhile back. I'm not really in the competitive scene but it is awesome to get your analysis on strong strategies and the best unit combinations in the game. I recommend you to everyone I know who wants tips on how to do better. Keep up the awesome work man.
Why not take up the mantle yourself? Being a TO isn't all that difficult, most of the time it's actually pretty easy lol. If you're not confident in your rules knowledge then just have a cheat-sheet of where you can look up rulings and stuff so it doesn't take long to look up the answers.
You mentioned rankings in painting. Where can i see those rankings and what they produce and what determines the persons rank there is it the amount of Golden Demon and crystal brush winnings or what is it?
Teams/Clubs in ITC is just to show how well your team is doing in solo competitive play. So there aren't really any team events, it's just the combined score of the team members that make their team's score. It works similar to individual score, I don't know the specifics but its something like the top 5 scores from your top 5 players add up to make your team's score, that way you can't just have a team of 400 people auto win because you've obviously had more scores to add together.
Game sizes are determined by how many points your entire army costs. A "Normal" game of Warhammer is played with 2000 point armies, meaning the sum of all of your units points values together are 2000 or less. For example: you can have 20 units that cost 100 points (2000 points total), or instead have 4 units that cost 500 points (2000 points total), or 10 units that cost 100 and 2 that cost 500 (again, 2000 points total between all your units when you add their points values together). Basically when you and your opponent agree on the size of the game both of you show up with armies that consist of units whose points equal to the amount you agreed on (and the normal amount most people play at is 2000 point armies). The reason I put "normal" in quotations though is because although 2000 point armies are the tournament standard and what most people choose to play at, you can play Warhammer with any amount of points as long as you and your opponent agree to it. For example, if you're just starting the hobby; I would recommend playing with 500 point armies or 1000 point armies to start so you don't have to learn too many units/rules at once and can concentrate on learning the base game and a few units rules first before you overload yourself with all the rules this game has. I hope that answers your question and if you need any more help just ask and I'll reply when I can.
Thanks Brady. I don't remember you covering this, but I wanted your opinion on codex creeping. It seems like that is very hard to get around since most of the combos and strategies that make new armies so powerful comes from the tournament circuit. How does that balance out with top-tier players?
I just checked it out after reading your comment. It's not exactly the same as my top 10 armies videos, it's similar but not quite the same, definitely a different format especially because he didn't show the lists. Also I don't have exclusive rights to talk about 40k tournaments so anyone can make a video on it technically, and I can't really blame the guy for wanting to make some money.
No, I'm just kidding of course. He has great content, but so do you! Do you have any plans to continue making top ten videos? Or is it hard due to covid?
Yes, I know in Hattiesburg there's a store where they have warhammer and tables for people to play. I can't speak for anywhere else in the state but I know there's at least 1 store in hattiesburg for sure because I have two friends that live there.
"Unless your buddy is an ITC player..." my buddy's a 155 IQ (certified) former top ranked StarCraft player who's been playing 40k around 30 years. It's brutal. People, if you really do want to get better, listen to APG and take advantage of the things he offers. You can't judge the game by meta lists if you don't understand how the game plays or what the flow of rounds are. Not every faction is going to be viable, so expect to lose. A lot.

Pinned your comment so more EU people can see it. As an NA player myself, I usually forget how things are different across the pond lol.
@@AlmostProGaming could you maybe make a video on the differences? :)
Return of the King
Gotta say the social scene with this game is oddly hilarious. Some of the best people I've talked to have been in 40k games
Same man, there are some great people in the competitive scene, or really just in the 40k community in general.

Bradys back, back again, Bradys back, tell a friend.
lol, I used to say that back in highschool xD
Great to have you back dude
1:24 TJ showing up on rank 1... aged like milk, that one.
Because he isn't first anymore or did he do something wrong?
@@TheMysticshroom he was caught cheating on camera and was removed from the ITC rankings and can not gain points in 2021
Eyy good to have you back man
Ah the comeback has truly started
Im sad our guy that was our TO moved halfway across the country so my local competitive scene no longer exists

@@AlmostProGaming for 8th i was pretty confident on everything, for 9th ive played 1 game and it was teaching a new player so its still iffy for me
Welcome back! Will you be continuing the top 10 armies of each month series? I really enjoyed it.
Yup! I will definitely be getting back to that series very soon.
@@AlmostProGaming Great!
Yeeehaw, excited for this series. Just getting into the tabletop, ill def give TTS a go.
Great video :) Glad to have you back, would love if you'd ever did any infinity content.
You mentioned rankings in painting.
Where can i see those rankings and what they produce and what determines the persons rank there is it the amount of Golden Demon and crystal brush winnings or what is it?
My man. Needed some help getting started with some newer factions.
Awsome video,very helpful,but idk what teams and clubs in ITC do?

First and welcome back
When things are back to normal will you host tournaments again like at pandemonium
Yes, and I can't wait.
Oh nice,so GW 9th edition matched rules are used for ITC now?
yes
How to get into Competitive Warhammer 40k "MORE ap-1 HORMAGAUNTS"
How many points does my unit need to be to play no video seems to cover this

How about a top 10 armies since November? 😎
Thanks Brady. I don't remember you covering this, but I wanted your opinion on codex creeping. It seems like that is very hard to get around since most of the combos and strategies that make new armies so powerful comes from the tournament circuit. How does that balance out with top-tier players?
That sounds like a good topic for a video, I'll add it to my list of video ideas. Thanks!
@@AlmostProGaming Thank you! Glad to help. Lol
Dedicated transports? I thought this was 9th edition?
Did you see Auspex Tactics did one of our top competitive army list videos? I would be pissed! That's your thing Brady! Lol

@@jonmcafee8345 It's been difficult because of a lack of tournaments, but I'll be getting back to it sooner than later.
I just play my mate every week but competitive play to win. we own 7 armies each and have the table
Do people warhammer in Mississippi
Yes, I know in Hattiesburg there's a store where they have warhammer and tables for people to play. I can't speak for anywhere else in the state but I know there's at least 1 store in hattiesburg for sure because I have two friends that live there.
Is their any highly skilled necron players ?
Yes. The most notable one that comes to mind is Richard Siegler from Art of War.
@@AlmostProGaming Thankyou.
is tabletop simulator free??
No, its around $20, well worth it though.
No covid in NZ ;) they should move GW and FW here
Pick a top tier
