Thanks for watching! Don't forget to check out Vox Link on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/constantinegreanias/vox-link-a-local-tabletop-game-finding-social-app?ref=3o7jm0
This is so valuable for noobs like me who are desperately trying to join this hobby after like 40 years of culture have been developed.
I second this!
Few more I thought of while watching.
Surfing - Basically another name for orbiting models in the fight phase.
Trade War - Forcing your opponent to trade with you so you can, in turn, trade again.
Meta Chaser - Someone who only plays the strongest perceived faction at any one time.
Bash Bros - Playing 2 or more very large models, i.e. Magnus + Morty or Bloodthirster + Lord of Change + GUO.
Clubbing Seals - A term in competitive for playing a very new or very bad player and winning easily.
Fleet - Not so common anymore but sometimes used to describe adv/charge or charge bonuses.
Mortal Wound Bomb - A unit that's sole purpose is to inflict the maximum amount of mortal wounds possible.
Orbital - An effect that chooses a point on the battlefield and does mortals to a radius around it in the next turn.
Transhitman - Transhuman but for hit rolls.
And then there's lots of unit names.
Glocktopus - Hexmark Destroyer
Becky - Bloody Rose Smash Canoness
Bonkmata - Bloody Rose Smash Dogmata
Mr. Worldwide - Praetorian Plate Shield Captain
Discolord - Lord Discordant
Lord Avocado - Lord Invocatus
Big Bird - Lord of Change
Other new name for Lord of Change is also Lord Chicken.
I'm not sure how much this is used, but my friends and I use the term "tagging" as a way to refer to when you pile-in or consolidate units into an enemy unit that your opponent doesn't want in melee. Things like buffing characters or vehicles without good melee.
Popular phrase. Tabled.
In some ways, this is the first term we all learn.
Means getting absolutely DESTROYED
having only played 3 real games this one is fun because i tabled my opponent all 3 times. He uh...needs some help with unit placement. standing out in the open for a tau list to sit there and shoot you is not a good way to live.
One I could think of is 'castle' or 'castle-ing' where you wrap your HQ or elite units in a large blob of units to protect them and in return the special unit might be buffing them.
Another is jinking, I kept hearing that term being thrown around a lot when I first got into the hobby and the term always baffled me- apparently it would just provide a cover save but you would have to announce it before your roll to hit. I'm not sure if this is still in the current edition of 40k or not.
You missed "Gets Hot!" which is the easy way to say the firing unit is destroyed on a to hit roll of 1 (plasma weapons). and Melta meaning add 2 damage if within half range.
Super helpful video and much appreciated! It’s a little hard as a new player to parse through jargon, but this helps a lot
In most games I've played, an "Alpha Strike" is an attack with all of a player or unit's resources such that it leaves that player or unit vulnerable.
- In Magic, if you attack with all of your creatures and tap them all, you're left vulnerable if the opponent counterattacks.
- In MechWarrior, an Alpha Strike fires all of the mech's weapons simultaneously, with a high chance of overheating and forcing the mech to shut down while it cools/recharges.
- In a ship game, an Alpha Strike means a ship firing all of its weapons, meaning they need to be reloaded. Or a Carrier launches all of its aircraft for an attack, leaving the carrier defenseless.
Same general concept, a concentrated attack with most or all of the resources against a single target, the post-attack vulnerability doesn't appear to apply in the Warhammer game structure.
the idea in WH is you put all your resources into offensive stats/boosts, thus have nothing left defensively if they survive the Alpha Strike
As a former Warmachine player coming back to 40k (haven't played since 5th ed), I found it funny that Skornergy made this list
Trevy is a former WarmaHordes player. As are a few others in the community. ;)
I don’t remember hearing “Feel Bads” but that one’s thrown around a good bit
Been sponging 40K for reentry since December and while I've figured many of these terms out via context or because they were explained it's great to have a handy glossary like this available. Thanks!
Great topic. This video would have saved me a lot of time trying to look up FNP and deep strike when I was getting back into the game.
That was actually really useful for someone new to the game. Well done!!
Infiltrate / Scout are old rules like rending and that’s why the name is not concealed positions
super thnx a lot for this intresting overview and explanations, love it
👍👍 very helpful, thank you!
High value review. Orbiting was interesting. Thanks for consolidating.
Or was it a pile in? 😆
Feel no pain was still the official rule name as recently as 7th edition.
Great video, MSU took me forever to work out 'MSU playstyle' etc. The other ones id put in are the 'equivilents' MEQ, GEQ, TEQ to refer to specific stat lines for marine, guard and terminators
I came into the comments for these!
A distraction carnifex should also be dangerous enough to real damage if it makes it in to combat/range.
When I actually was actually part of a larger community I was know as a rules lawyer. It wasn't necessarily bad as much as I just really memorized the rules and if I argued an interpretation typically a faq would later support my point of view.
Didn't "scout move" come from the old rule sm scouts had to move at the start of the game before turn 1? I think that was a 4th or 5th ed thing. Need to check the codex.
Or the scout sentinel pregame move?
Can't remember which was first.
You forgot Trasnhitman which is the hit role version of Trasnhuman.
My 40k scene is waac. All day every day. Top tier competitive armies brought to crusade games waac, in fact.
sounds wack
you forgot the four letter word I yell when I fail my charge roll
Bums!
Can you deep strike round 1 and can you deep strike behind enemy lines?
I'm a noob
I’ve heard people refer to lists as being a “monster mash” and I have yet to figure out what it means tbh
Its a list which consists only of Monster keyword units. Specifically refers to Nids more often than not.
V-neck. Brave man 🎉 ❤️❤️❤️😇
This would be fantastic. In a written list.
i wrote the list in a video
@@TacticalTortoise I was being snarky. Sorry. I was just thinking it would be nice to just read it.
I may have liked this video just to bring it up to 420 likes, but it was still worth the like.

"10th edition is for stupids and kids." There's a phrase for you.
What is a sweaty? Had a guy say” let’s get sweaty”
That's a pretty common one in any game; it basically just means "working very hard for the win"
So like a game is sweaty because it was difficult and made you sweat, or a list is sweaty because you put a lot of effort into optimizing it.
When does a player become WAAC? What's the difference between a player who's really good at the game and wins often vs WAAC? I feel like there is alot of overlap here.
IMO WAAC requires that you try to win above all other considerations - including being unsportsmanlike and even cheating.
You didn't actually define "Mortal Wounds"
Soap or Deodorant is another ones they should know.
Kind of surprised you didn't mention that meta is an acronym meaning "most effective tactics available," when you spoke about it.
AFAIK the term meta isn't an acronym; it's a commandeering of a regular, english word: www.dictionary.com/browse/meta
Because it isn't. That acronym was retroactively projected onto the word. He's right that the base word is the origin because it simply refers to the high level metaanalysis of intangle topics like strategies and best unit or army selections.
Good. People already called u out. U should be embarrassed
@@bipolarprobe The technical term used in linguistics for that sort of etymological retroactive projection is (as you might have suspected), "backformation".
@@cognosciento colloquially, a “backronym”
I noticed how the light shines in your eyelashes and now I can’t unsee it and I hate it
Trans-Hitman
Meta = Most Efficient Tactics Available.
