Awesome video but hygiene, you don't want to offend your opponents senses for 3 hours. Also bringing gum or mints to share with your opponent for post lunch breath.
My first tournament win: Win by holding objective and killing my opponents dwarf king. I am declared the winner by the judge/ owner of the shop. My opponent “technically I won that, I did pretty well” I followed up by reaching my hand out and saying “I’m okay with a draw, tie game well played.” My opponent then said “ok but I really won though.” I them said “listen, I won the game on both objectives that and you have no models left on the table, I’m giving you a draw that’s being generous” his response “ehhhhh let’s just say I won” I then withdrew my hand and then said “screw you”
Your own hubris comes through in your own retelling of things. Does it matter that the judge is a store owner? Why did you feel that you were in a place of authority to make it a draw? Because the judge said you won? Did the judge only make a legit ruling because he is also a store owner? It sounds like you had a really bad attitude about winning, and you know you did not win ethically. I'm glad you found some comments to support your echo chamber, but I remain unconvinced of the entire story.
If you’re gonna use D20’s, I’d go with a spin down from Magic. Numbers aren’t randomized and go in sequential order. No time spent searching for the correct number.

The very first game of my first warhammer AOS tournament, it was the edition before nighthaunt got their massive face lift. My first round opponent was apparently ranked in my country and he was playing seraphon. I went first and moved up thinking I should be fine, his first turn he gets the trip,e 6 on his god engine and a double turn… suffice to say it was a brutal loss lol. He was nice though, got lunch with me because our round ended so early

Quelle merveilleuse video! I share it with all the guys of my club! With this wise advices you can go in tournament in France, it's all the same... The food it's just better!
I agree with everything other than the gotcha thing, If my opponent and i both know exactly what my or their army does and they make a mistake i'm going to capitalize on it. We are in a competitive tournament and i invested a lot of time energy and money to be there. Of course practice good sportsmanship but i'm not gonna sit there and tell them how to play their army. Now in a casual environment heck yea let's have fun and have a beer. I just feel like people who want to perform well always get a bad rap, especially in this community. Like no one is allowed to want to win at a GT like what the heck.
I’ve recently bought my first warhammer product, the hierotek kill team. Kill team seems fun and I will be playing my first matches next month. But 40k just doesn’t seem fun. Seems like I could get a physics degree with the amount of study hours it would take to be good at 40k.

You guys have launch breaks during tournament ? Our are 3h - 15min break - 3h - 15min - 3h - go home ... you barely have time to talk, gather your toys from table, eat half a bun a keep going. Then it seems might be why people are giving up on tournaments and many new guys rarely get back for next x.x
I recently just started building gundam, and i try to color my gundam, the shop i went to have so many warhammer related items 😅 Now im here just curious 😂
Stumbled across this video and I know you! Used to work at LH. If you're still in the area and ever felt like gaming, hit me up sir. Haven't seen you in forever!
I hate wysiwyg. I play tau and every unit (used to be) very modular, especially the crisis suits. So they have very many weapon options and the only way to get a different loadout is to buy, build, and paint a new unit. And what about magnets? are they allowed? If they are i could change my whole army depending on who im fighting, but crisis suits are hard to magnetize. There is nothing good about wysiwyg other than MAYBE immersion or having a visually realistic game. But it ruins the experience for many players, its basically impossible to play without buying a new army for each different style of tournament, and some new players encounter it or hear about it, think thats how you HAVE to play it and either never play or dont enjoy building models as they way they want and instead build them the way that they think would play the best. Wysiwyg sucks. Change my mind.
Long time tourney attender here. Good video and good tips for beginners! It might be obvious to some, but i'd say the most important would be hygiene, deodorant, and one (clean) T-shirt per day. Everybody sweats at these events, stress, adrenaline, body heat ... Just check yourself. Honestly, the thing that annoys me the most is the smell of some dudes, even at 8am. Many times I had been assaulted by the agressive smell during 3 hours. Not cool. Don't be the smelly geek stereotype, it's not that hard...
Thats the thing, there are general diet guidelines that will help everyone but also there are always outliers. For me, a burrito bowl would wreak havoc but he listed it as a "clean option" lol
"So you wanna go to warhammer tournament" No, not really, but I just like gathering information I'll probably never end up using, and these sorts of videos are fun.
also remember that no matter how prepared you are, you will be tabled by folks who get to run through dozens of practice games per week compared to your paltry 1-3 times per week because you have to work for a living. Lose with grace and remember that 95% of everyone who attends is spending travel time/expenses and PTO to participate but will go home empty-handed

The more I get into Warhammer the more I realize I will never play it. It’s unfortunate because I love the lore and look of tabletop games especially Warhammer but my god logistically never
Gum, hard candy, or cough drops - you'll be doing a ton of talking and that will take its toll on your throat. Something to keep ye olde saliva glands going is helpful for prevention and/or recovery
The problem with competitive hobbies is that cave dwellers feel home in them and they are extremely unhygienic. Event organizers should ban people with disgusting smell and behavior.
"painting requierement" And this, is why i would never take tournaments seriously. A painted or unpainted mini change nothing to the way someone play. It is pure gatekeeping.
Nah, what's killing 40k is the obsession with balancing around win rates of tournaments. And it's hard to say it's killing it, so much as it's burning a lot of people out over the frankly absurd things GW is doing with their constant mucking with the rules in place of proper playtesting and mechanical balance. The tournament win rate should only be a point of concern when an army is at either an extreme advantage or disadvantage, I'm talking win rates of 80% or higher, or lower than 20%. Because the tournament win rates do not account for differing levels of skill or investment, nor are they a sign of health for the army for good or ill. Get everything balanced mathematically as best as possible, with minor swings up or down on specific units for flavor to emphasize playstyles that fit the faction, and then leave it alone. And I'm saying that as an 18 year veteran TO.
Awesome video but hygiene, you don't want to offend your opponents senses for 3 hours. Also bringing gum or mints to share with your opponent for post lunch breath.
