Best Beginner Guide For Warhammer40k: Tacticus on UA-cam I have Seen so far...even saved it For later on...now i don't have to ask my Guildmembers endless Question...you awnsered Them all...will now point out this vid...For New Players there in Chat 👍💯💥
Great guide, but one thing to note - Calgar, Ragnar and Celestine are not likely to be obtained by a beginner. Calgar and Celestine only become available once you have beat their bosses, and even then the chance of pulling them in a requisition order is extraordinarily small - or you can farm 500 shards to unlock them, which would hamstring a new player's progress in upgrading their existing characters. Ragnar will only be unlockable through his final event in a couple of months, and that's unlikely to be achieved by a new player. The reason I say this, is that it would be a shame for a beginner to watch this video and think they're not progressing well because they don't have either of those legendary characters.
Well made and concise as always! Been playing for almost a year myself, but i watch all your stuff regardless of the target audience since there's always some great bits even for us veterans in your vids. Keep up the great work!
Amazing guide, I started playing 3 weeks ago and this definitely gonna help me, one of the best structured beginner video I found(seeing those a lot), thank you!
Great channel, but for absolute beginners like me one word of caution on levelling Bellator, he needs an epic piece to complete Iron III that you cannot farm until Indomitus Mirror mission 18 or Cadia 55. So if you have had miserable RNG like me and still have not unlocked the scarab spawner after 12 days, its going to take however long it takes to unlock that Aleph Null to get Bellator to Silver I.
I’m looking forward to your future Parts. I’ve been playing on for 4 months now and have been struggling to determine which Campaign Cores to invest heavily in. And which Active/Passives I should prioritize for them. Currently, I ask Tacticus Discord but an all inclusive video would amazing. Thanks again for making videos like this. We greatly appreciate it
Great vid for beginers! You summed everything up really good. Personally i started leveling everyone for LRE-s and ended up having more than a half of my roster at g1 😅. Oh, by the way, i leveled my Tyrant Guard to d1 as i said) It was one hell of a ride but well worth it.
@@DBPreacherTacticus Man, i want to upgrade her... But xenos badges are basically non-existent for me right now. Trying to buy both books and badges from guild shop is quite a challenge. You got to share your Jain in one of the next videos)
Cant count how often i explained that its better to open campaigns to get upgrade materials, then trying to be more "useful" in Guild War or Raid. That comes automatically. But doing campaigns avoids hitting a wall cause the rare upgrade is in a mission yet to unlock. And rare may be asked for guild but what after those?
With current number of heroes in the game and 1 new character per month its imposible to grind all the characters to gold 1, not to mention D3, unless you pay heavy $$ into this game. Above that, great summary. Nice video overall DB.
Yeah that’s why you need to focus! However, I already have a big chunk of them at gI. The issue comes more as you try and push them to diamond! That’s when the pain really starts and you need to specialise.
After answering lots of questions from new players in my guild, I was just starting to put together the plan to make a new player guide that combines the information currently available spread throughout the many UA-cam videos about this game. And you just made exactly that video, covering everything I would’ve wanted to with outstanding advice. Fantastic work.
I’ve been asked, upon doing so, what the “sub” characters are for at 10:54, in the first faction teams section. I didn’t have a great answer about your intentions. Are those characters you recommend leveling along with the rest of the team to sideboard in where needed, or do you think of those as first priority alternatives before going deeper into the second section of alternatives?
I have my imperial trinity, level bellator, thaddeus, and brother Burchard, as they can appear in all the imperial campaigns and are required for atleast 1 each they are the best work horses to carry a team all the way. This enables a player to only level 3 toons past that silver 1 marker
@@DBPreacherTacticus curious, you say difficult, what is to your mind the minimum cut set of characters to complete the imperial campaigns (indomitus, fall of cadia mirror, and octarius mirror) on elite? I'd argue a gold 2 of the trinity I mentioned and silver 1 of the other required characters. (Red 1 star, rare and full defensive items equipped)
For fall of Cadia mirror I needed a bit more than g2 as they kept dying on one of the missions where you could only take 3 characters. However I agree it’s somewhere around there for sure!
Loving the dark angels so far but need those last 2 to bring together all the mechanics. I would love some shards. Sarquael is only uncommon and trying to catch up to the other two.
Thanks for the great video. But what are your thoughts on finishing the elites specially the octarius elite? Not all like to upgrade orks but the ork nodes have some of the commonly used upgrades, mjod and runes of fate.
Hi I am just starting out but really want to grab Kharn from one of the skull throne events, should I focus on levelling mission characters of focus on the characters I have that can be used in the legendary event?
If you are just starting out then it will be tough to get Kharn. Ideally you need Isabella or Rotbone to gold I and then a bunch of decent other characters that give you points. My advice is to focus on opening up the missions as much as you can so that you can level your characters more quickly with the elite upgrades :)
Great stuff as always! I wish id had info like this so i could narrow focus when i started. I had just finished getting my roster to silver before macer and asmodai, but im pushing for the mech raid team to hit gold now! Though im not sure who should be in. Ive got gold Tan gida, silver 2 exitor as the core, then i can choose from gold aleph, silver actus, revas, makotep and s2 thutmose. I just pulled sho too(bronze 1) and the orks are silver too. Do you have any thoughts on who i should roll with? Assuming eldy is the 3rd core pick for non avatar raiding too!
@@DBPreacherTacticus interesting! I'd been thinking of a necron or actus for heals or the scarabs for more exitor hits but I'll see how that goes. Thanks!
I would not call this a beginner's guide. For the Imperial team you suggest, I have been playing on and off for 3 months and I don't have any of those three Legendary characters. Also how do you get a dude from Stone 1 to Silver 1 in 5 days?
Yeah the legendary characters are a pain but that’s why there is the subs. If you use normal Blackstone regen + advert refill + 110 Blackstone refill, then you can do that.
@@DBPreacherTacticus How do you move people up from Stone 1 to Silver 1 in 5 days? Or did I misunderstand that? Do you have a video on efficiently ranking up? I suck at this and I am always out of orbs as well.
Whoops, I wrote Blackstone refill above and I meant energy refills. If you spend all your energy on pieces then you can get them. Check out my beginner playlist as it has a bunch of videos deep diving into the energy consumption if you are interested in learning more! But yeah it is 5 days of energy to get someone from stone 1 to silver 1
@@DBPreacherTacticus Appreciate your time and responses. I messed around with that Tacticus planner app and with the campaigns I have unlocked it is showing 2705 energy to get from Stone 1 to Silver 1. I am sure with all the campaigns unlocked that energy cost goes down...so yeah 5 days if you are laser focused and spending 160BS/day. I have a bad habit of scrolling through my roster and bumping randos up that I never use just because they have an upgrade that would rank them up.
It depends on who you have, what your goal is and who you like best. I don’t believe there is a right answer there. I maxed aleph null but that doesn’t mean he is the best
So this is one of the weird things about Google sheets but you just need to highlight his current rank and target rank and press delete. Then delete his priority as normal

There's always a popular imbalanced meta that'll come to the front, and you'll have no choice but to build for it to have any real chance. Probably the most accurate shared trait with the tabletop.

yep he fails to mention that ultramarines are the only thing you get to play and start off with.
