GW doesn't want you to know this but your opponent minis are free to eat I have eaten 2 admech army 3000 points for intecessors 4 rhinos and 5000 points of xenos
@@kylerocco7467 in a tournament, a player was rolling really well with a couple of dice when he wanted and used normal dice when it didn't matter as much, when someone challenged his dice, he forfeteid immediatelly before the judge arrived and went to the bathroom, someone who went there afer saw a couple of dice in a toilet (with a little bit of shit in the toilet) and they still rolled 2 6's underwater (dice were weighted)
Just modelling all the legal wargear to a battewagon is a challenge but no one will be able to check when looking at the chaos a good ork vehicle is...
@Peter_Wendt pro strat. When your opponent takes his eyes off the table swipe one of his models and don't say anything about it. If he notices something is missing just play dumb. Eat the minis when the chance comes. My buddy has had to replace his Grimaldus several times.
Thank you so much Auspex for this video! I am still a very novice cheater so this very thoughtful and well put together guide will help me become a cheating PRO!
Absolutely. I too recently lost my job, my partner, and suffered a debilitating groin injury which left me impotent. After buying an extra pair of socks to stuff down my jeans cheating at 40k was the first thing I looked to. It just seemed so much more fulfilling than leaving cheeto dust on my opponents models when they had the audacity to beat me at my favourite game to win. I wasn't having much luck though until I found this video. I had always assumed that cheating was just about getting rules wrong in my favor and baking the odd dice but this video opened up a world of possibility. With these techniques I'll be able to legit become the biggest cheater around. Wherever my daddy ended up after he left I'm sure he would be proud! Thanks Auspex!
I sometimes find as an Oldhammer guy I might accidentally remembered the wrong edition. Always happy to be corrected, but using Genestealers with their Rogue Trader stat-line is pretty glorious...
Don't forget to accuse your opponent of using weighted dice while you yourself are running an illegal list. Yes, this happened to me. It was a crusade towards the end of 9th edition. I didn't call my opponent on his illegal list because he wasn't exactly the sharpest axe in Khorne's collection, and by the time I realized the unit was already dead and so kind of a moot point. (specifically he was running a Black Legion patrol using Noise Marines as troops). He then started to complain about weighted dice when I rolled 6 6s out of 15 wound rolls with full rerolls, or in other words; approximately 1 better than average. Incidentally that same volley of shooting is what killed the offending Noise Marines. The opponent in that game ended up getting shunned by the entire local community a couple weeks later when he freaked out about our group's "budget Henry Cavill" (a personal trainer who plays Custodes) for not responding on Discord within an hour or so while trying to schedule the next Crusade match.
I had a friend who, when i showed up to his house to play, would always already have the table set up with terrain and his army deployed, conveniently on the side with more or less terrain to suit his army. This same friend, when rolling some re-animation protocols that would make or break the game, he turned around and rolled the dice on a shelf at the other end of the table to me, he *somehow* succeeded in rolling 9/9 6's and bringing back all his skorpekh destroyers.
He plays at home with a preset terrain that favors him, runs necrons and has a list overloaded with skorpekh destroyers that have a higher resurrection rate than Kenny? I think we share a friend.
I don't believe in cheating in WH40K but my grandad for pre-match good luck recommended that I warm up my dice for 4 minutes in the microwave with the '6' side face up.
My go-to move is pointing over my opponent’s shoulder and exclaiming, “Huh? What’s that over there?” While they’re looking, I change my dice to successful rolls. On that note, my local hobby group is starting to believe I might be schizophrenic.
Man, this really revealed how much of a shitbag my teacher was. Brought me to TTS, He basically showed me nothing of army building, played a counter army to me (tau vs orks), did gotchas constantly, forced me into a map with essentially three open lanes to run down while he sat at the other end, gave me no do overs when i fucked up (again first game), and forced me to use an "auto roll" system that was very biased towards 3/4s, something thats bad for me as orks if I want to do anything. He then did the aame thing again on another game and whined when i refused to use his auto roll system. Said every roll i made was bullshit. Made a note to never play with him again after that.
Weighted dice seems to be the easiest, actually caught a friend of mine doing this by rolling his favorite Ork dice when he wasn't looking, actually pathetic. Never called him out just stopped coming over to his place to play with him.
I believe I dealt with my first cheater this week, Necron: Awakened Dynasty, claimed that 3 Heavy destroyers were 72" range and tried to claim it killed a full 5 unit squad. I also learned that after game they gave their Hexmark Destroyer 2 damage on their 2+ overwatching and retaliation shooting pistols pistols instead of the standard 1 damage (bassically it ate all my hellblasters who couldn't respond because of its lone op, and teleported their Transcendent C’tan away from me after falling back, note no Stratagems nor Detachment ability would allow that.
I appreciate all your advice Mr.Tactics. It's been great to distract myself from my busy career of being a 1920's Coney Island carnival hustler to cheat at 40k by using an elaborate system of magnets and pulleys.
There are 3 types of player. The virgin Tryhard who always wins, The Virgin cheater, who trys to beat the virgin tryhard by well cheating. The chad loser who shows up and loses every game but still has fun and wins the you tried award that some tournaments have.
I just try to make myself feel better with all my losses by saying "well, my necrons lost in battle are just being repaired. your deaths were permanent." lol
For proxying, remember to proxy a warlord titan as a space marine assault intercessor, so when your opponent charges, they can't pile in because the warlord's feet are too large. Also, when you lose (you won't, but in the alternate universe you do) remember to add "fluff" by explaining to your opponent that, while *your army* lost the battle, your faction won the war on that planet. Space Marines vs Tyrannids? Oh, actually, the inquisition sent an Exterminatus after the small portion of the chapter lost (and had all their geneseed recovered)
This is legit how I was introduced to the 'tabletop portion' of the hobby. I was shocked when I went to a different club later only to find my former 'teachers' had failed to mention all the rules that were to my benefit, and only mentioned the ones to my detriment. That is in addition to about 90% of the stuff mentioned in the video. It left a real sour taste in my mouth as far as the gaming part of the hobby goes.
Ahh, I see you came to the USA for the Tachoma Event... I honestly didn't know how much I needed this satire. Please do more of this type of content. 😂❤ o7
Thanks AT, I really needed a good laugh, been a tough week! Thanks for all the wonderful content! You've been helping me learn the Game since end of 9th.
Just the other day, watched my mate play against a random player at the LGS. My mate wiped at least 700pts in the first turn and felt bad for the other player, so he purposely left his vehicle in the open, bad decision. Due to either desperation or malice, the other player became that guy: - Shoot using the entire model weapon loadout instead of only his chosen/legal weapon - LOS, I can shoot your unit the previous turn, but you can't shoot at my unit with that same unit because there is no LOS now, but there is the turn before. - Throwing dice on the table instead of dice rack knocking shit up. - Lied about unit stats My friend ended up losing because he tried to be nice and merciful (as a space marine he should know better than show mercy). And the opponent was shouting and celebrating his undeserved win.
This already is by far my favorite warhammer channel, but joke videos like this really do take it up to the next level and make it even better. Love seeing these sprinkled in every few months.
I remember one of my first games I was so excited to have my full phalanx of necron warriors light up some terminators that I completely forgot to move some of my units. I then asked if I could move them (I was completely willing to redo the rolls) but got told essentially “thems the brakes” so that unit proceeded to get absolutely mowed down because they were out in the open. Tbh that whole game was a one sided slaughter with my fairly balanced army list facing off against a full on 40 terminator DA skew list with hellblasters abusing the Azrael rerolls to mow down my 40 warriors in about 2 rounds. I really liked the guy too, nice fellow but he was brutal once you got into a game with him.
In private games with friends I've been proxying different guns lately. I write a little note on a paper and keep it by the squad to remind them and I what they really are at just a glance.
Good idea. I like to proxy too, but try keep it obvious what the model is supposed to be, i.e Contemptor as Helbrute, AoS sorcerer as Chaos sorcerer, etc..
We also have someone in the community who constantly changes the rules “slightly”. Sometimes it's just simple words that translate into a skill that turns "this model" into "models in this unit". But it can also be complete core rules or rules that don't appear to be completely clearly formulated, where it's just a matter of saying whoever sticks to their point of view for longer is right. Apart from the fact that with every interpretation of the rules other than his own, he demands that the evidence be presented to him, even with the smallest of lapalia and if he himself does something that seems fishy, he doesn't prove it but rather demands that he be shown the place where the corresponding action is not permitted . Very tiring. We have some very soft-hearted teammates who don't have the heart to throw him out. That's why we need 3 people for every game against him. One who plays his army, one who checks all the rule-technical anomalies and adds up the points in advance (yes, he likes to add more models/units than his limit allows or doesn't count the enhancements) and the last one keeps a constant eye on each one no matter how small a movement on the map, the CP and VP counters and, above all, the dice. If you take all of this into account, strangely enough he only wins against complete beginners who agree to very unfavorable open maps against his shooty army. He is a bad winner who treats people condescendingly and complains; resulting in people are having a bad time and an even worse loser who never sees himself as to blame. And even though I would prefer to just throw him out of the group with his Admech or occasionally Astra Militarum(both always with his big Knight), I see a minimal advantage because he is a deterrent for other players never wanting to be like that.
I do remember back in 7th I had my army Commander be a Dreadnought Chaplain. His bigger base allowed his auras to extend further, but due to having exactly 9 Wounds the opponent couldn't target him if he wasn't the closest model to them. This was cheesy, but it's a technically valid way to have a Commander on a bigger base
yes character dreadnoughts were a thing, used librarian dreadnought of BA plenty in 9th or playing IH with their strat to turn dred to character, and give them warlord trait, oh that was glorious
The mention of how easy it is to flush dice down the toilet makes me wonder what nuts story I missed where someone brought loaded dice to a tournament and shenanigans ensued when someone caught on.
I do think it's funny that on your "lucky dice" slide, you included an image of a pretty famous pair of dice that look really wonky, but are still mathematically fair
"street magician" ROFLMAO! ... this was seriously some of the best comedy I've listened to in some time! I was laughing out loud and cracking up at some of the things you said! ... I shared this with my good friends and challenged them to note what we've ACTUALLY seen happen in a game!! lmao! My list is not short.
just got a story from the owner of my flgs about the two guys I used to hate playing against because of many of these reasons. Turns out one doesn't play in the store anymore, and the other is working on play days... but also that the two of them went against each other in a tournament and were calling for judges over EVERY SINGLE THING the other guy did... they both got the boot under recommendation from their own teams! Wild to think that people can be so weird over a game of toy soldiers.
Hello, can you make a video about Damned Legionnares (from agents of imperium Legends) They looks like tactical squad, but have ignores cover on their weapon + sergeant has chain sword with 5A and power sword stat line (may be GW fixed that now). But the main advantage of this “tactical squad version” is 4+ invulnerable save, deep strike, and battle shock to enemy :) With new Agents of imperium codex it may be interesting to look at old units in this faction, and may be they will updated soon with new Agents Codex, by GW. Sorry for my English, it’s not my native language:)
Had a game once where one of my opponents (2v2game) had a sisters character that could resurect on a 6. We all saw his 6 on the first resurection (blood claws killed her once and moved on), so the blood claws waltzed back over and killer her again. Only I and he saw his roll of 4 on the next resurection roll (this is back in an older edition when rediculous shit like that was common), but he stood her up again anyways. I don't think he realized that I saw, but I always remembered that in every other game I played with him.
This is why I play with the rule book open on the table, with the errata next to it, and roll all my dice while constantly checking my data cards. I have messed up playing so many times, I genuinely hate it when I mess up and end up winning.
I was playing a 500 point deathmatch against a friend for fun. He, as Space Marines, had a full squad of Assault Intercessors led by a jumppack Chaplain, a full squad of Hellblasters, and a Razorback Ricarius. I was playing Orks with 3 10-man squads of Boyz, a 3 man squad of Lootaz, and a Warboss leading a group of Nobz. He had no idea that the Razorback couldn't transport his Marines, and I offered him to switch it as we were deploying. He, rather upset, said no and demanded he'd work with what he had. Proceeded to kill 7 Boyz in one shooting phase with the Razorback because he got second turn, and my Boyz failed their WAAAGH! charge. I had left them on an open sightline down the board, and next turn, he finished them off along with the Lootaz. Good time, man. Good times.
the key to cheating is just telling the opponent that you think they are cheating the whole game. Always offer to measure for them even when its like 4 inch charge, make sure to make them recount every guardsmen that could be in range, even better if its AoS and a 40 man of Clanrats, that way the 5 clanrats you are aruging about being in range probably dont matter anyway cuz they hit on 4s and wound on 5s.
I honestly thought this would be a “what cheats to look out for” video (still kinda is) but kudos for making a video that I feel bad for clicking on even though I don’t cheat.
My 1st crusade match this year started against an illegal list, the opponent expecting take backs whilst refusing to allow them himself, and the best one was during round 3 he took an entire unit from his deployment zone and swapped them for a midfield unit because he "made a mistake at deployment"
Using hard-to-read dice and picking up the successes instead of removing the fails is another classic, don't give the opponent a chance to see what you roll.
You should also use the regional method, try playing in America so if you feel you can’t win even you your newfound advantages, you can just shoot them so you win by default. Other regions may prefer the shanking method as well.
I’ve played against guys who accidentally took 2250 points Rolled 6’s behind terrain Nitpick my every move Move the tape measure forward during the move In 6th roll the scatter dice at the other end of the table and argue that the blast scattered exactly to the centre of my unit A guy saying “this is my last cp”and not removing the dice then trying to use a stratagem And my favourite Be ahead on points and then wander off to time the game out.
New 5head idea for cheating: edible dice. Have a set of gummy-ish but normal dice, then make or have a friend make a set of dice with a bunch of extra sixes that is LITERALLY out of gummy so you can eat the dice if you're challenged.
Hahaha this was awesome, I pride myself on having integrity on the tabletop and being deathly afraid of cheating accidentally by not paying close enough attention to the rules, it kind of makes me a slower player and I typically lose but at least I can respect myself and have a good time either way.
Protip: If your opponent casually mentions that he's in law enforcement, lifts, does jiu jitsu, or is in a motorcycle club, maybe don't take any of this advice.
Its nerdy/dorky enough to collect and play with your little toy soldiers in general that winning just seems arbitrary... It's like being the best dork, which is not really a badge of honor
ive played against a few point cheaters, i make sure i play against them often and bring it up with others, its nice because over the months weve played and i check their lists (its honestly smart to do anyways) they actually have learned to stop and are optimizing well. its nice to know i stopped em needing to cheat and gave em a friend
Nowhere in the rules does it say you can't chokeslam your opponent through the table. Highly effective way to ensure a win by default.
Lmao
Just give your las-cannons indirect fire!
I prefer the Batista power bomb 🔥

No jokes about taking an absolutely illegal amount of wargear on your ork battlewagon and just hope your opponent doesn’t know the data sheet?
That sounds like a ...... hard case to prove....
Just modelling all the legal wargear to a battewagon is a challenge but no one will be able to check when looking at the chaos a good ork vehicle is...
I mean, the battlewagon already has so many weapons that I'm sure nobody would notice a "few" more
Remember to not limit yourself to ork weaponry. Those looted darklances are totally legitimate.
Most times I don't think the ork player even notices
Winning isn't the point, having fun is!

Tell yourself that when your opponent is playing some shooty list that wipes like 25% of your army when they play first?

I do think it's funny that on your "lucky dice" slide, you included an image of a pretty famous pair of dice that look really wonky, but are still mathematically fair
that hab about flushing dice is perfect
Finally, a guide for the common man
Don't forget to throw the opponents knight at their face and take a shit in the titan for extra damage
Thanks for the tips, I'm in a doubles tournament today and will try em out.
"street magician" ROFLMAO! ... this was seriously some of the best comedy I've listened to in some time! I was laughing out loud and cracking up at some of the things you said! ... I shared this with my good friends and challenged them to note what we've ACTUALLY seen happen in a game!! lmao! My list is not short.
just got a story from the owner of my flgs about the two guys I used to hate playing against because of many of these reasons. Turns out one doesn't play in the store anymore, and the other is working on play days... but also that the two of them went against each other in a tournament and were calling for judges over EVERY SINGLE THING the other guy did... they both got the boot under recommendation from their own teams! Wild to think that people can be so weird over a game of toy soldiers.
Being friends with TOs and/orgs is always very helpful. Or being the store owner/family of store owner in case of store/sponsored events.
Faced a few opponents like this over time, can relate!
Absolutely savage intro! I love it!
i love how you started the video
Jeez auspex I come to relax and watch this channel during my unemployment no need to harsh my hangover
Hello, can you make a video about Damned Legionnares (from agents of imperium Legends) They looks like tactical squad, but have ignores cover on their weapon + sergeant has chain sword with 5A and power sword stat line (may be GW fixed that now). But the main advantage of this “tactical squad version” is 4+ invulnerable save, deep strike, and battle shock to enemy :)
With new Agents of imperium codex it may be interesting to look at old units in this faction, and may be they will updated soon with new Agents Codex, by GW.
Sorry for my English, it’s not my native language:)
Had a game once where one of my opponents (2v2game) had a sisters character that could resurect on a 6. We all saw his 6 on the first resurection (blood claws killed her once and moved on), so the blood claws waltzed back over and killer her again.
Only I and he saw his roll of 4 on the next resurection roll (this is back in an older edition when rediculous shit like that was common), but he stood her up again anyways. I don't think he realized that I saw, but I always remembered that in every other game I played with him.
Fuck me, you didn't have to swing at me so deep in the opening 10 seconds like that aspect hahaha
Honestly I love all your videos and these kind are the ones that make me crack up! Auspex tactics #1!
Thank you for this comprehensive guide! Now I can finally achieve my dream of becomng That Guy!
This is why I play with the rule book open on the table, with the errata next to it, and roll all my dice while constantly checking my data cards. I have messed up playing so many times, I genuinely hate it when I mess up and end up winning.
Ah wonderful, i never know quite how i should play when i get matched up with a first timer. Now i do though!
Jesus dude, you didn't have to attack me that hard in the intro!.... /s
I was playing a 500 point deathmatch against a friend for fun. He, as Space Marines, had a full squad of Assault Intercessors led by a jumppack Chaplain, a full squad of Hellblasters, and a Razorback Ricarius. I was playing Orks with 3 10-man squads of Boyz, a 3 man squad of Lootaz, and a Warboss leading a group of Nobz.
He had no idea that the Razorback couldn't transport his Marines, and I offered him to switch it as we were deploying. He, rather upset, said no and demanded he'd work with what he had.
Proceeded to kill 7 Boyz in one shooting phase with the Razorback because he got second turn, and my Boyz failed their WAAAGH! charge. I had left them on an open sightline down the board, and next turn, he finished them off along with the Lootaz.
Good time, man. Good times.
Well, seriously good information to be mindful of. Thing is, I’m always afraid to call something and be wrong.
Your guides are too good. Now I'm convinced your the sensei of every "That guy."
the key to cheating is just telling the opponent that you think they are cheating the whole game. Always offer to measure for them even when its like 4 inch charge, make sure to make them recount every guardsmen that could be in range, even better if its AoS and a 40 man of Clanrats, that way the 5 clanrats you are aruging about being in range probably dont matter anyway cuz they hit on 4s and wound on 5s.
"Forget everything that won't help you" as someone with a bad memory anyway, i can get behind this one.
I honestly thought this would be a “what cheats to look out for” video (still kinda is) but kudos for making a video that I feel bad for clicking on even though I don’t cheat.
Hey Auspex, have you ever used movement trays before?
This feels almost like a diss track 😂 very fun!
Finally ready for WTC with this video!
My 1st crusade match this year started against an illegal list, the opponent expecting take backs whilst refusing to allow them himself, and the best one was during round 3 he took an entire unit from his deployment zone and swapped them for a midfield unit because he "made a mistake at deployment"
You forgot about bringing weighted dice and flushing them when you think the TO isn't looking
Played a game recently and a lot of this feels very familiar when two of us got tabled in a 2v1 by the end of our opponent's second turn.
Using hard-to-read dice and picking up the successes instead of removing the fails is another classic, don't give the opponent a chance to see what you roll.
You should also use the regional method, try playing in America so if you feel you can’t win even you your newfound advantages, you can just shoot them so you win by default. Other regions may prefer the shanking method as well.
I’ve played against guys who accidentally took 2250 points
Rolled 6’s behind terrain
Nitpick my every move
Move the tape measure forward during the move
In 6th roll the scatter dice at the other end of the table and argue that the blast scattered exactly to the centre of my unit
A guy saying “this is my last cp”and not removing the dice then trying to use a stratagem
And my favourite
Be ahead on points and then wander off to time the game out.
Auspex I may have laughed a bit too hard at your intro to this one 👏👏🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of your best, sir! 😊
Another banger, love your personality videos mate keep it up
Grats on 300k!
New 5head idea for cheating: edible dice. Have a set of gummy-ish but normal dice, then make or have a friend make a set of dice with a bunch of extra sixes that is LITERALLY out of gummy so you can eat the dice if you're challenged.
Don't forget about weaponizing a chess clock as a great win scenatio.
i believe every time Auspex is making a Video like this or the "that Guy" Video" , he encountered one in a Game recently :D
Shots fired in the first 20 seconds ❤️
Finally, I'll be allowed to taste the sweet taste of victory! 😀
Hahaha this was awesome, I pride myself on having integrity on the tabletop and being deathly afraid of cheating accidentally by not paying close enough attention to the rules, it kind of makes me a slower player and I typically lose but at least I can respect myself and have a good time either way.
I for one am particular to eating my opponents dice when they're not looking. This doesn't help me win but I like the cronch.
Protip: If your opponent casually mentions that he's in law enforcement, lifts, does jiu jitsu, or is in a motorcycle club, maybe don't take any of this advice.
This Video is very good.
Its nerdy/dorky enough to collect and play with your little toy soldiers in general that winning just seems arbitrary... It's like being the best dork, which is not really a badge of honor
God damn it auspex dont call out my inner thoughts like that
New Chaos Nurgle lore just dropped
ive played against a few point cheaters, i make sure i play against them often and bring it up with others, its nice because over the months weve played and i check their lists (its honestly smart to do anyways) they actually have learned to stop and are optimizing well. its nice to know i stopped em needing to cheat and gave em a friend
