Warhammer 40k Deployment video focused on the concepts of deployment instead of things you already know like other videos. Honestly I watched some of the other deployment videos on TH-cam, and they didn't really teach much. This video goes over mistakes people make, questions you need to ask, and even formations!!!!
The biggest highlight of this video that just really helped me is you demonstrating through TTS. The visual example helps me interpret and learn whats your saying. I love it! Best video yet 🎉
I gotta say, I think this is the best 40K tactics channel around. I could see it getting big. I feel every other channel gives very obvious tactics advice, whereas this one actually gets me thinking about things differently.
As an Ork player, if I'm not in the opponent's deployment zone by turn two engaged with multiple units, i'z muckin about! Kommandos, big mobz of boyz with Wierdboyz and warbosses, trukk boyz, squighogs and stormboyz give people a lot to worry about in deployment. Also, don't try that slant settup against a melee-heavy ork list. We've got so many ways to make a charge, and weaving three or four units together means three or four units that have to deal with 80+ ap1 attacks hitting on 2s and exploding on 6s (War Horde detachment).
Orks are playing their own game for now lol. It's still a tool for the toolbox to use when needed. This is just a meme way to hide stuff I thought was hilarious. Past editions had rules to prevent you from doing stuff. Scouts can block an ork charge pretty well when you can't shoot them away because of smoke grenade
A deployment tip: Always (read sometimes) leave your most expensive unit exposed. If you're playing anyone but a really experienced player the temptation to eliminate anything from your biggest tank to your Avatar of the Bloody Handed God will distract them into wasting assets. I used to find it so frustrating how it would take till my tenth game with a new 40K or Warmachine model, but eventually I came to see it as an asset. The "new model distraction" is really good in friendly/non-tournament games because your friends will fear cheap new models for their novelty lol
I think a good supplement to this video would be one about setting up terrain and whatnot. I feel like a lot of issues videos like this one is trying to address will often be at the fault of how terrain was set up more so than actual deployment
I completely agree, it is pretty hard to prepare someone when you don't know the battlefield. I made a player placed terrain video that goes over each type of terrain. I could maybe do something like that again for 10th
@@WarAcademy I think a lot of people (me) would really appreciate that from a legit strategic POV or even just a “hey man this is just the right way to do terrain”, there’s shockingly very little on the subject as far as TH-cam goes
Your videos are informative, funny, and the perfect length. Already liked, subscribed, and all that jazz. Dropping a comment just to help out just that little bit for the algorithm. You’re a huge help to someone who really enjoys 40K. Being actually competent with the models I’ve spent a lot of time and effort painting and building makes a big difference. Rock on 🤘
I really struggle against my friend's ork army. I'll try to use the dead zone tip and put my really shooty Marines in the dead zone, so that if he wants to kill them, he'll have to give up fighting over the objective
yeah, against orks standing still first turn is never a bad idea to think about. when orks cross the mid they go down fast. just dont lose too much to their dives. =)
Good video, first time I've found you. I was just talking to my friend this Friday about the dead zone of melee. Got my brother bamboozled with fast Ork vehicles and scalpel like kill packages inside. He expected me one place, and focused a lot of visibility on that zone. Which told me that I needed to take a side route and work my way through his this flank. I'm looking forward to see your thoughts on the dead zone in your Marines video.
Bamboozling people with orks is half of what make this game great!! Thanks for watching, we also have a great discord with a huge ork player base on discord to discuss the good waaghs and the bad waaaghs 😊 discord.com/invite/wPyCWxgr
@@WarAcademy I guess more specifically what I'm referring to is finding fun clips and images that often fit the topic very well or at least are entertaining. It keeps things interesting. Also showcasing certain things in TTS goes a long way too. A lot of similar videos are basically just boring powerpoint presentations at best. Yours on the other hand shows dedication and stays entertaining while also being highly informative
Baneblade is the best of the big scary models IMO. I hate fighting that thing! Dice are the only thing that stops that thing from BRRRRing all over my army.
Pssst Thermopylae's pass is called the "Hot Gates" because of sulfur springs in the area, not the "Hell's Gate". It's also called the Gate of Fire, but remember its nickname predates the invention of Hell.
This video be like "A good, really clever way to get info from your opponent is to just subtly ask him what his greatest weakness is" 💀 There was nothing subtle about any of these questions 😂😂
Well I'm not trying to cheat or anything, most people will answer and are aware of what I'm doing. I'll do the same for them. I'm not so much aiming for an advantage as it is to try and avoid gotchahammer
Fact, I've subscribed to your channel and I now roll more 6's!!! 🤣🤣🤣Thanks for the "Why you SUCK" series its helped me become a better 40k player. I'm no longer the punching bag with my buddies and am either losing by 2-4 points or winning quite handedly. You now have a Patron Member 👍
Right on!! Happy to have you!!!! Be sure yo join the discord server, and feel free to pm me on there. Lmk what kinda videos you want to see next 😊 discord.com/invite/wPyCWxgr
Played my buddy' Tau today, I don't understand how to counter a horde of distance shooters. I feel like my chaff gets in the way of me properly dealing with his stuff while his shooters take out my mid and back lines, but if I were to reverse and put everything good out turn 1, he said he would have his pick of targets even earlier. I'm not sure if deployment is where I lost the game, but I'm scratching my head at where I could have done better against an "aggressive army that avoids melee".
Sorry, I can turn it down a little bit next time. I havnt had someone complain before. Using music over clips helps me not get flagged for copyright. (The office scene got flagged orginally) I'll turn it down a tiny bit next time, my bad
Can you create a playlist with why you suck at 40k, why you still suck at 40k, secret combos, and this video definitely the best here is what you need to know to "start" being competitive.
The memes are funny but they are pretty distracting. I’d lower the music and use more examples of what you’re explaining. Also the music is really busy.
Good morning everyone looking for some help as a new player. I know the rule whatever looks cool, but I’m stuck between getting into Astra militarum and Custodes. If you were in my shoes which army would you start?
Yeah.... otherwise your virgin eyes or ears may be damaged. By 2025 when youtube goes the way of the dodo, we will all know why lol. It's a pain for content creators

Great tip!! I love it. Very outside the box!! My favorite 😊
Really insightful, you have improved me alot in the game. Thank you, all my wins are directed to these vids, even tho I am more casual gamer.
I get more enjoyment out of hearing I helped someone else win their game then me winning one. Im so glad my videos have helped you out! =)
No problem brother! Your keypoints have made a big difference and are easy learn, grasp and remember

These are enjoyable to watch and very informative for an idiot like me.
Thanks War Academy!
All of us were bad at 40k at some point, if you watch and research videos (you managed to find me lol) then you cant be that bad =p

Orks are good rn
Each style of orks has a week spot good luck with the green tide
Very new to 40k (about a month) I now live on your channel. Thank you for all the information!
i want to replace all of my shirts with the war academy store
Extra formation: inverse V
Behind terrain, allows hiding from more angles

Rolled my dice before subbing, 2-4's consistant rolls. After subbing straight 6's, even on LD tests it knows and I get 1's.
Im gonna have to start screenshotting how many people say this haha 😀
This video is very informative, but also very entertaining and well edited. Awesome video, truly
I donno about the well edited part, I feel like I have no idea what I'm doing in the editing department 😅

7:28 LOL kitten getting action
Its the same way I got my gf too!!
Baneblade goes BRRRRRR.
Baneblade is the best of the big scary models IMO. I hate fighting that thing!
Dice are the only thing that stops that thing from BRRRRing all over my army.
@WarAcademy even more scary when lord solar orders it to take aim.
Amazing Video!
A „Why you suck at Orks“ would be a blast!!
If they can get a little more diverse like they used to be I would be happy too! The world always needs more ork players!
Just found your channel. Awesome explanations and comedy usage. Subbed for sure!
Right on!!! Thanks!

I had no idea that's why it was names that!
@@WarAcademy I'm sorry if that came off aggressive. Ancient Greece was like my gateway nerd thing lol
@@nicholashurst780 not at all, I love learning that kinda stuff
Luckily i feel like most of this came naturally but i def learned alot esp formatjons and just thought process. I subbed
The best part of 40k is the skill ceiling. glad I was able to help sharpen your chainsword 😊
Great video!!
Thanks for watching 😊
Can you make a video on how to be good with custodians after the nerf? New player. They're my entry army, I subbed and liked 👉👈
Thank you for your hard work
!!!!! WOW!! Thank you so much!!! Getting a recording room set up at the new house and this helps tremendously!
If Jocko Willink played 40k, I think he would sound like you.

Keep it up broskie. Love your videos. Make more! (Please)
The talking parts takes only a few hours. The editing takes days or weeks lol.
Still trying to figure out a way to get them out faster lol
That scream was hilarious :D Subscribed just because of that
Lol, good I was worried it was a bit abrupt to start with 😄
Glad I kept it
Imagine being absolutely decimated while wearing the war academy gear 😅😂
There is no way thats ever happened haha

Do you play with enough terrain?
He can't avoid melee, that's where the objectives are. What army are you playing as?
i like raisins
How come there is plum juice and prune juice, then there grape juice... where's the raisin juice???
Deep striking a deaf dread was better last session 3 in front of your enamys biggest weak spot would make anyone panic

Hey where did you get those pixel sprites of the 40k amryz fighting? 6:03
google images, change the file type to gif when your search something and youll find all kinds of stuff like the pixel art

It will be worth the wait I promise!

Guard
Codex aside custodes are elite aka cheaper to assemble than most armies if that matters. They are also quite tank. But guard is cool
Excellent! ❤
I have a plan. Attack
if it works dont fix it.
What if my army WAS attending a peace summit!!?
i dont have a guide for that.....
Unconditional surrender
Wait, did you have to sensor the word killing? God its pathetic you have to do that.
Yeah, not really his fault, but TH-cam sicks
Yeah.... otherwise your virgin eyes or ears may be damaged.
