There's a new version!: https://youtu.be/ErNFbqzGEeA

Watching with my 14 year old and he says, “I like how the Orks have funny names like Weirdboy, Nobz, and Guy” 😂
-
Can't wait for how to play warhammer 11th edition when Guy's teaching his twins to play for the video
-
2:54 -- "Day 16. The Necrons have accepted me as one of their own. They still do not realise that I am a Chaos Android."
-
I'm just here for Guy's smooth voice and Penny's jokes.
-
I'd like to point out the amazing continuity of Guys hand always entering frame left and Penny's hand always entering frame right. The same sides as their armies. 👌👌👌
-
Great to see you trying to capitalize more on your most popular video. I’m sure this will help a large amount of people
-
Even though I've been playing for 10 years now I still love watching starter videos. IDK why.
-
"Adding more at your own pace" = buying a huge pile of shame because I NEED them and only painting a single infantryman every 2 months or so. Yeah I'm that slow a painter
-
My wife agreed to play 40k with me, so I sent her this video! She also wants to paint her own army. I am a very lucky guy. She already chose her army which is Tau. Now I only have to decide on one faction so we can engage in glorious combat. Thinking about either Adeptus mechanicus or custodes. :) Unfortunately there is so many great factions to choose from.
-
As someone who really wants to get into 40K, but very confused on the rules, this video was an absolute godsend.
-
Penny is a great actress I would swear she had actual fun playing 😂
-
This was a perfect vid Guy and Penny. Everything was clear and concise, you zoomed in on what models where doing what, and even included a psyker (something you usually don't see in a "How to Play" video). 10/10 I feel like some more curious newer players would enjoy seeing a part 2 with slightly larger armies and delving a little bit more into the rules (terrain especially etc.)
-
* waves to the "Space Crusade" Chaos Android hidden in Penny's army 🖐🏻 *
-
Nice Red Dwarf reference from Penny “He gone buddy” 👏
-
As someone just getting into 40k this video is perfectly timed! And of course the calm narration and way to explain the at first rather dountingly complex rules, excellent as always!
-
This is the best tutorial for actually playing that I've literally ever watched. You made this way, way way way way simpler and more accessible than anything I've seen before covering the subject. I'm still building some armies, but I've been terrified of playing due to how complex it seems, but you have me actually hyped to get into it. Thank you guys so much!
-
Guys I simply had to comment, I'm a veteran Wargamer and I've had abit if a knock from covid and my levels and ability to focus on learning has been severely shaken. This tutorial hit home with me and honestly it made me fall back in love with a game I adore again. Thank you for helping me regain my Mojo!
-
I like how Guy inserts old school models into his squads, is that a third edition Necron warrior in there?
-
In only 48 minutes I'll FINALLY be able to play and understand 9th edition 😁 much appreciated 🙌
