IMPORTANT NEWS - I'm quitting 40k forever and becoming a Star Wars channel.

...

Just kidding, but I am taking care of some personal stuff this weekend, so the regularly scheduled Best Armies in 40k video this weekend will be delayed up to 24 hours. Biggest apologies!

Anyway here are some space ships from Star Wars ville in Orlando I took last week

I'M LOOKING FOR SPONSORS!
In the coming two months I'm planning to add two new SUPERMAJOR events to my 40k coverage schedule; the NOVA OPEN (September 4-6) and LAS VEGAS OPEN (October 2-4).

Right now I'm looking for sponsors to showcase on these streams; I'll be opening four sponsor slots for each. If you're interested, please e-mail me at trevy @ tactical-tortoise.com

WHY SPONSOR?
These competitions represent some of the largest and most prestigious Warhammer 40k events in the continental US, coverage will run for three days each weekend and be highly viewed both live and via VODs as viewers return to watch their favorite players/factions compete.

WHY I USE SPONSORSHIPS
Frankly, covering Warhammer events is very expensive. Travel and expenses at these events will be almost entirely out of pocket and represent costs of over $1000-$1500 each weekend, while income from YouTube only occasionally clears $100 for each day streamed. Sponsorship needed required to offset these high costs.

I've gotten a ton of questions regarding the terrain rules in 11th edition after my video this weekend... so much that I'm going to do a follow-up!
If you have any rules questions you'd like me to cover, feel free to post them up and I'll try to get to them!

Small PSA; I've temporarily unlisted my recent video covering attack allocation.
A commenter pointed out a stipulation in the new core rules that MAY make some of the examples I gave in the video incorrect.

Basically; changing allocation groups upon the front group being destroyed MIGHT qualify for the clause in the Destroyed rules that 'destroyed models are not removed until the end of the attacking unit's attacks', meaning that those models remain in play and force their allocation group to the front of the save sequence for every subsequent attack pool until the end of the attack activation. This would prevent you from changing the allocation order between weapon activations as is described in the attack sequence rules.

Discussing with some other judges; this appears to be an unintentional interaction that is likely to be cleared up one way or another in the upcoming rules addendum, but for the time being I don't want incorrect information to be shared just in case.

I'm going to keep it unlisted until I get confirmation one way or another, but the video is here if you still want to view it in the meantime: https://youtu.be/kdlWfpg6Ieg

‪@OfficialWarhammer40000‬ dropped an absolutely BANGER of a trailer today, alongside the official release date of Armageddon... and a bunch of rumors about upcoming release dates for full 11th Edition rules and faction errata.

With that in mind; I'll be stepping back from 10th Edition analysis until the release of the edition - including new episodes of my Best Armies series; to return later in June with the new edition.

Instead... I'll be putting that energy into lots of new tutorials and rule breakdowns so you can hit the ground running on your 11th Edition games as soon as possible!

If you're hankering for content; please check out my live coverage of the Spring Slam this weekend (especially the semi-finals omg): youtube.com/live/SQoS3AzbxNY?feature=share
And don't forget to watch the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0hD3...

See you on the battlefield, gamers!
