Here it is, folks. How to play Warhammer 40k, 10th Edition.

It was a blessing a curse not being sent a preview copy of Leviathan by GW.

It stung a bit, not going to lie. I've dedicated most of my professional and a lot of my private time over the last 5 years to making videos based almost entirely on Warhammer. Those videos have been viewed over 60,000,000 times on different platforms, so not being at all involved in the promotion of 10th edition, or even being sent a complimentary copy of the box after its release date, felt a bit odd.

That being said, it was absolutely for the best, as with all the recent balances and changes to the game, anything I would have made 3 months ago would now be out of date.

Hopefully this video, which I've spent well over 200 hours creating, will stand the test of time.

At least for a couple of years, until 11th edition, haha.

I hope you all enjoy it, and it makes learning the game, or teaching it to friends a bit easier!

I hope you're all having an awesome weekend!
Lots of love
