ENORMOUS Warhammer 40K Tenth Edition Reveals! New Models, Rules and Lore Analysed 

that's it. i'm convinced. auspex is an admech tech priest of a monster. you're unreal bud. props. pinnacle in the community.

Ima be honest, having forge world models be in the index meaning that they should (praying it does) get updated with the army is what I'm most excited for. Time for Cerastus Knights to enter the fray.

I just got into Warhammer within the last few weeks and 9th edition seemed so daunting. I’m excited for 10e to come out because it seems more beginner friendly!

I knew we would only have to wait about an hour for the Auspex update. You're a legend man.

Don’t comment on video’s normally. Just wanna say, thank you for all the information regarding 9th and 10th. Started collecting Necrons because of 9th edition discounts and been fan since playing them in DoW series as a kid. This channel deserves so much more recognition on how fast you get information out and the presentation is seamless. Thank you for everything!

Overall it looks like GW are tackling the rules reset very intelligently. But man the new Datasheets are so much more ergonomic and easy on the eyes to quickly glance at and read. I can already tell changing the data sheets the way they have is going to save on a lot of time when just looking at them. The choice to completely overhaul stratagems and add more reaction like rules attached to Datasheets will fix so much bloat while also allowing a more interactive game experience for both players on each other's turns which is something I was really hoping for. Them making the new rules free initially is an excellent choice! I think most of the changes look phenomenal and I'm very excited!

As a thousand sons player, I'm interested to see how they do psychic powers in 10th. Hopefully it doesn't make them useless.

As someone who only plays casual games a few times a year, I’m super excited for this ruleset and for how information is laid out. The BS and WS being in the weapon profile is a small but great change in layout. It makes picking the game back up after a few months way easier.

Honestly, meaningful combat patrol boxes that are evenly matched is such a solid idea. They should have that for AOS as well. I know there’s a lot of joy in figuring out how to cobble together an army list from various random boxes, but a good starting set you can expand on is so so nice.

So happy with the changes that have been announced, and super happy with the idea that your entire army's rules will be on a single sheet, and if you want to play a different company or chapter, you just change the sheet, so you always have just 1 sheet. No more lugging 47 rulebooks around. The new datasheets look so clean and easy to read, I love them so much.

Feels like a lot of AoS ideas are being implemented in 40k. I like the streamlining, learning all the rules of all the armies was to much really.

Love the Terminators. Guilliman "Make them bigger" Cawl "Well I could redesign the..." Guilliman "Just bigger!"

The Combat Patrol game mode is EXACTLY what I was looking for to get into the tabletop. I've always wanted to start playing for a while, but for one reason or another, I've been hesitant to make the jump. Think one of these boxes will be perfect now! GW is def making solid moves by pushing for a more accessible and trimmed game. Great stuff, Auspex!

Crusade is, by far, my favorite way to play. Having a Spartan crush a Chaos Rhino when hitting on 2+ in melee is just the kind of hilarity you read about in the books, especially when the Rhino explodes and takes the Spartan with it. Competitive is cool if you want to get in to the nitty-gritty of playing, but Crusade has hit a nice balance between casual one-off games and invested play, so I'm glad to see that it's continuing on in 10th.

Seems like something to be pretty excited about. I've always loved the setting and got into it via the video games. I'm not artistically gifted, but I feel like getting an SM Combat Patrol and learning to paint them the colors of those Magpies might be just the way for me to jump in.

I like the new Terminators. Especially the First Born/Primaris mix. I think all units should go like this

Personally I really like the new detachment, I feel like it will allow a lot of creativity in lists and maybe we will see some rarer units finally see the light of day.

Charles Dance is a confirmed Primarch, Dante gets a new mini and terminators are true scale. AMAZING TIME to be a 40k player!

Also I would like to mention some units on the space marine side that I was able to notice that will be released at some point during 10th. New Intercessors - Actually this might just be a primaris unit with nothing but flamers Primaris Veterans/Sternguard Shooty Redemptor Dreadnought Gravis Apothecary Obviously the Terminators and Terminator Librarian New Phobos marines as I just noticed as well Also spotted a cheeky Captain

I'm really looking forward to 10th rules, just seeing Psychic phase is gone and more organically blended into gameplay, as well as the morale phase gets me excited they're going to make the game actually smooth and straightforward to play.

This is all great news. Love the Terminator models - thrilled that they haven't messed about with the original concept. New Termagants look great - not radically different to the originals so you'd probably be able to blend them into your force pretty well. 10th edition...wow, massive sigh of relief!! So glad to see Toughness there and I love the way they have just streamlined things like WS and BS into the weapon profile... makes a ton of sense. I love the cut-down on stratagems, the return to placing rules back into datasheets and culling AP back down again; it's like returning to a refined 8th edition; brilliant!

The AoO release seems to me to have been a play test and public polling exercise for the new army selection rules. I do also think we will see a new edition of Space Hulk soon, what with boarding patrol and these new sculps. Again, I apply the logic that GW tests the water and plans ahead to make 'new' releases as popular and less costly to them, as is possible

I'm super excited for these changes. Fewer stratagems seems good to me, and I like how the power is shifting to the individual units themselves. I also like psychic/morale, and I hope that whatever they end up doing speeds the game up a bit.

I'm feeling pretty optimistic, and I really like the re-designed datasheets. However, I do wonder how simplifying the rules and paring down the stratagems will affect more complicated factions like my AdMech army. AdMech already suffers from a crippling lack of strong HQ units, that it compensates for with lots of overlapping buffs and ways to synergize different rules with each other. It's honestly kind of a pain in the ass to play them effectively, requiring a whole lot more thought put into positioning and timing than other armies like Space Marines. But now I'm mildly concerned that in simplifying things, they may not account for the way the bloated proliferation of faction rules is single-handedly keeping a few 40k factions afloat.

Datasheet redesign is nice.. Weapon and toughness changes seem like a good move to help balance a d6 based game.. - Overall - the base point for the new game seems like it's well thought out and will be easier to get into. My only concern is that 9th also seemed to be a step in the right direction at day 0, and that quickly went crazy..

I'm into it,the changes seem good and seem to work in most new players favor. As someone getting into warhammer and building a amry while waiting for 10th to learn I'm glad I held off buying any books and decided to just focus on putting the actual models together.

Honestly I was worried about tenth edition before but this all seems like pretty good changes, I like making it more beginner friendly and it seems like they’re walking the line beautifully between accessibility and depth

im interested to see how they plan to balance combat patrols. currently there is a huge variation in the points values included in these boxes, as well as the viability of everything in the box. for example, the custodes combat patrol comes out to like 700 points in total, versus something like the tyranid or eldar combat patrol which barely scrapes 500.

I'm pretty sure in the live stream, they did answer that OC stands for Objective Control. Pretty much what you explained. Now they can have certain models be worth more without throwing in some special rule or strategem, like how knights usually do in their codex.

I'm really happy about free indexes and core rules. That's really good. I see twin linked in the weapon profiles, I wonder if we are going back to universal keywords

I love how these videos come out night, day 4am, 1pm, Xmas, Halloween and Valentines day

This might be an unwanted feature but I've got an idea that could make their app interesting. After you create your army in the app it can produce it as a QR code that can be imported as an enemy army. You could then automate rolling by selecting your unit, their weapon profile, the number firing, and their target. It would then produce the number wounded/killed with the details on individual rolls available if the action was highlighted.

This is looking really promising. I’ve been arranging few game nights for beginner 40k players (me included) and basically had to write simplified rules for us noobs. Now it seems I can just print them and they are as easy to understand!

I was basically wanting everything with the data sheet changes. I love the shift of WS and BS to the actual weapon. Changing weapons from "assault 3" to just a number of shots plus a few tags seems more streamlined. Individual datasheet abilities instead of stratagems seems like a great idea. Lastly, I could see the "OC" system being a bit fiddly (let's say you have to count up the Objective Count of all your modals vs your opponents, that might be a bit more time consuming and prone to error, but I think it could fix a few problems so I like the idea)

I hope these datasheets are included in the boxes, similar to AoS. Really helps having the cards especially for new players / a new system.

Tyranids always made me feel like they were the only enemy more impossible and hopeless to face down than chaos and this showcase really hammered home how absolutely fucked the Imperium really is. Even chaos isn’t able to adapt plot armour as fast as the bugs.

I love how no one seemed to notice that phobos marines are getting combi weapons. They featured heavily in the video. Be on the lookout for some kind of Primaris/Phobos Sternguard.

I am curious about what you think the new shooting phase will be like - the only thing that concerns me about the edition is how the psychic abilities work with shooting - for example: will we be able to use our psychic abilities and then use our physical weapons or will we have to choose one or the other - they were very vague about this during the preview - needless to say this new edition is going to be interesting to play.

Curious to see how leadership is gonna come into play, daemons and chaos knights have some fun morale phase shenanigans that I enjoy using.

Absolutely in love with the upscaling of terminators. Such an icon model for me. Also the nids. Have both of these army's. Really looking forward to getting my hands on some

As a new player this is very exciting to see I'm pleased I've held off buying an army yet. I'm not against the complications of the current addition but I'm far more likely to be able to convince friends and family to join me with the more simplified rules. Look forward to getting tenth addition, great video 👍

I LOVE the new Skulking Horrors rule for Termagants! My friend plays Orks, and he's always just blendered my Terms if I ever leave them even slightly vulnerable because of his really reliable charges. Very keen to have a response to that, a way of keeping my little gunbugs out of harm's way.

I might be getting excited a little early but I genuinely cannot wait for 10E,I was smiling ear-to-ear with some of the rules they teased No Psychic Phase with Powers used as abilities on the Datasheet making them more flexible? Great, always wanted something like that. Morale being taken in a new direction? Looking forward to seeing how it's handled. Datasheets being shortened down to cards with KEYWORDED RULES FOR WEAPONS ALA HORUS HERESY, YES PLEASE I'll admit I got into the hobby in early 9th, but overall I think I hated 9E and it's handling certainly took me out from enjoying the actual game for a bit, whether it's the fluctuating power of each new codex as each concurrent release would go "nuh uh, my army's stronger than yours" before being demolished until they weren't fun to play anymore, or the sheer rules bloat with every single codex feeling 50 pages longer than they should be because apparently putting "Twin-Linked" on a weapon wasn't as halpful as writing out a novel that rivals Of Mice and Men in length explaining how you can re-roll hit rolls with a specific attack, but seeing the direction they're taking suckered me right back in and I can't wait to see what other improvements are headed in

I'm really digging the new Terminators, I always thought the iconic helmet was a bit too oversized, now it looks just right. Also, really good job with the WS,BS,A on weapon profiles, will probably help balance out ranged options in all factions.

I hope there could still be enough diversity in the game with so few strats now. Pulling off some tricks through strats that are not commonly used is actually a pretty fun experience, like self-detonating tau battlesuits and all that. Also, I enjoyed all the space marine doctrine things, added a lot of different flavors for different chapters. I hope that's not striped away.

They stated in the live reveal for morale that they wanted to make sure they got rid of the outlier (i.e. always wanting to roll high, except on morale), so the 8+ is the target number for a successful leadership check for the termagaunts. In essence, they want you to know that every single time you roll, rolling high is better.

I am hoping the Night Lords legion trait might actually have a chance at being effective, possibly increasing the debuffing of units with Combat Shock, could still be very fluffy too.

With a bigger focus on data sheets, I would love a focus on physical cards like the big ones you can get in AoS when their battle tomes release. I love digital, but there’s nothing like having a physical card as a gaming asset. You can put markers on it. You can hand it to another player who has questions. Just love those cards.

The Launch box is going to be expensive, you can just feel it. No doubt it will be a good selection like indomitus but not looking forward to that inevitable $250+ price tag.

As a Craftworlds player I am interested to see how psychic powers work in the new turn structure. Hopefully it makes things easier rather than stuff it up completely...

In terms of new units, considering the Tyranids have such a wide range of big badass monsters already I would very much like to see a new swarm or mid-sized unit.

I adore how plain, simple and informative your videos are

Termies have such an iconic design that I think they went in the right direction on this one with just updating the model and making it bigger instead of redesigning it completely if is not broken don't fix it, I m so exited to buy one and painted with blood angels colours

Excited about the changes, might give 40K another go of it! Why the "Skulking Horrors" ability on the Termagants isn't a universal keyword like "ambush" that applies to various different models across the game, as it likely will, is beyond me though.

I'm so happy to hear that we likely can't spam low S attacks at tanks and monsters anymore. I'm not convinced this edition will be good but the overall feel is positive which shocks me haha

The Index system makes me nervous. As a Tson I'm pretty happy with how separately the army feels from WB/DG/etc. I can hang with the Psychic phase being dispersed - makes the game feel more like the flow of battle as far as I reckon. I'm guessing that they will change data sheets so that they have more rules on them (i.e: all is dust) but I'm excited about the prospect of not having to run Duplicity to feel competitive!

Looks pretty good to be honest. I like the new split data sheet. It looks like a lot of empty space, maybe all data sheets are a full page so you can store and sort them in a binder? I'm not too keen on army construction though. I like the force organization chart. I will have to play with it.

I do like the idea of Morale no longer costing models. The other day I was watching a video about the Battle of Osowiec Fortress, and how soldier's fears played a part. And it had me thinking about previous thoughts on using the morale decreasing abilities of some of my Tyranids, but so many of the armies seem to just be immune to the morale phase. With it no longer costing models, units don't necessarily have to be completely immune to fear lest they be hurt too much by it. Mmm... as far as general purpose weapons, I think it's a good thing when weapons aren't useless against certain targets. It reduces how often a game is lost at list building. This game doesn't really have a sideboard like MTG, you can't adapt to what you encounter. Still, I do see merit in weapons being a bit specialized, and I always found it a bit silly that weapons that have high strength, also tend to have high AP, and high damage. Like why can't there be high AP attacks that don't do much damage but have high chance to hit, or models that are very hard to hit but don't have many wounds. I've never been fond of invulnerable saves, as you can't really interact with them, except for Mortal wounds, which lead to a situation where mortal wounds started popping up everywhere, invalidating the invul saves. Very much one of the reasons I hate hard counters in games. Besides which they already have a way to implement a more dynamic interaction, toughness and armor. If they would just unlink them, and give models more varied wound numbers to reflect that... Well I don't have high hopes for that. I feel like the game will be just a little different, but not enough for my liking.

Honestly, I can see where you're coming from with the profitability angle with the terminators. That said, I'm happy they kept them so similar, because the old terminators were far and away my favourite space marine models!

Sooo. I woke up like 40 minutes ago and my girlfriend, who got up 30 minutes earlier and read the article already, told me: „Well, I *could* tell you, but Auspex probably made a video on it already“ So shout out to her, and props to you.

On one hand, I'm excited for new things, especially primarius Terminators. But on the other hand, I just freaking got a handle on 9th edition and bought all my needed codexes. Now I'm gonna have to get all new ones and learn all the new rules. So this is a combination of excitement and frustration.

There is a lot of interesting stuff here. I really like the new data sheets I think they look better. I am a little worried about list building...however we will see. Stratagems I think is over all a good choice I just hope they make the 6 or so each faction gets fitting for the faction and strong. Well I don't mind the damage/ap being tweaked I also wondering if models/units will still get there own unique feel based like they do now.. Also how long be for new codex drop? I mean the free indexes help. I am also interested in seeing how they handle there army builder.

Sounds pretty good. I'm going to reserve my judgement until we see the full ruleset, as well as the index, but on average this looks like a welcome improvement. Rules wise the games does seem to be heading more towards AOS esque rules, though not as much as some rumors suggested. Though frankly, tying physic/magic to phases is something I would actually like to see in AoS. Really curious about morale, especially as somebody that wants horde to be viable again. It is a shame about the codex's (I know a lot of Imperial Guard players that are not going to be happy), though I am still happy that everything is getting a index day one. Frankly, and I know this won't happen, but I kind of hope they stick with a index for all armies. Pretty tired of Codex Creep, and considering how frequently rules are updated it seems like a better way to handle matters. Also happy to hear boarding patrol is sticking around, was looking to get into that. Very interested in combat patrol, if only because I really like collecting combat patrol boxes. Finally, the models look great. Didn't expect much else, despite the occasional screw up I feel GW has been on a roll recently when it comes to models. I am still curious if the big box is going to be Ultramarines again. Everything seems to imply "Yes", but since we are getting new terminators I don't think a big Dark Angel focus seems unlikely. If nothing else, it would feel weird for Deathwing Knights and Deathwing command squads to not get a update. Regardless, depending on what is in it I might use it as either the basis for a Dark Angel force or a supplement for my Salamanders. I mean, if it has Primaris Flamers I pretty much have to play them as Salamanders.

As someone who got into the game over the last 6 months, this is exciting! Though I imagine continuing to learn all of the esoteric 9th edition rules is a bit silly now.

looked a bit closer to the new 10th trailer, we see new Carnifex models like a blend of the old Screamer killer and carnifex, and some that look like carnifex with tentacles. we also see a huge Neuronthrope with two helper brains, gives me the same vibes as the silent king :D

I’m excited for new and/or updated minis for Tyranids. They need them

I love this channel, thank you so much for summarising information I have no idea where to find. Additionally, as someone who is looking to get into the hobby, Indexes make me VERY excited :D Cheers Auspex, keep up the Emperor's divine work!

AT, What do you honestly think of the new psychic phase being integrated into other phases? Personally, I'm worried for GK/TS players. If done wrong, could REALLY hurt those units.

What I really want from this edition is a casual mode where the points and rules are not constantly tweaked and a tournement mode that they can balance .

What did I love most about that trailer and the follow up details? The celebration of both first born elites as terminators and primaris together? The unquestionable lethality and menace of the Tyranids? The voice acting? Seeing a Primarch in all 3D glory? The shake ups to the rules? A focus on accessibility? All of the above? Yes.

I’m really excited for 10th edition. I think Combat Patrols is gonna be a great gamemode to get people into the game with.

All great news, looking foward to see how 10th release works out

Maaaan as a huge terminator collector. This makes me so happy! The new ones look amazing. The new models the edges are so crispy they make for such enjoyable edge highlights cannot wait to get my hands on these and go to town

I think the combat patrol change makes perfect sense to get new players into 40k. Buy this single box of minis and hopefully download the rules and datasheets for free online and you have everything you need to play a game with someone.

The new Terminators are perfect! I couldn't be happier that they kept them the same with just a height/proportion increase. The quality will be much better too so I'm over the moon. Terminators are iconic and I'll be buying loads of them!

I'm only new to 40k and was getting a bit overwhelmed trying to get a grasp of everything in the 9th addition. But the way this is displayed seems far more easier to new comers, I hope the OG and current players aren't to upset with these changes

IDK if you noticed, at one point one of the presenters said the rules would be free "evergreen" implying forever. I was shocked and am not sure if that was a slip or not.

I started playing in 8th edition, and ended up getting two of my best friends and my brother to play... when 9th edition came out, we started out strong, but sputtered out less than a year in. I'm looking forward to a fresh start and simplified gameplay, but me and my friends are pretty casual - I'm curious to see the thoughts of the people in the competitive scene.

Must say, the separate bolter barrels on the terminators is pretty nice

You sir are a legend! Just a couple of hours after the big release, you already have a video out on the topic! Awesome work. Thanks!

The new datasheets are fantastic. This is what has been needed for a long time

Mmm still wished we got D10 or D12. But excited overall for these changes. Also wondering how getting rid of the psychic phase will effect models like Abaddon and only being able to receive 3 wounds per phase.

Not sure how I’m feeling about the path they’re taking with simplifying the game, but still early days and much more to see and hear before I make any decisions or opinions.

Strategems were already a bit 'gotcha'-y. Every army in 9th has obscure rules that are impossible to predict unless you happened to play their army. I think putting them in the ability section helps both players realize what each unit is capable of. Also, managing CP is a big skill but the shift might help prevent digging yourself a hole in the first few turns.

That alliteration at around 0:26 was incredible.

I prefer to monopose look of the termagaunts, the organisms work as one unit and i think that was really showed well in Starship Troopers

If this means things will be like they were at the start of 8th then I'm going to be very happy with this edition

Anything that makes the Tyranids better and better is music to my ears. It's my favorite faction. They aren't weighed down by morals, hope, despair...they consume. 👾

They mentioned 'OC' was Objective Control per model. It sounded like you total your OC on an objective for each model and whoever has the highest controls the objective

My only concern is it turns into Imperial Space Marines vs Chaos Space Marines. There is a huge difference between Thousand Suns and World Eaters vs Black Templars and Gray knights. There are huge differences between these armies but they treat them as the same.

I think if they have a faction's "reactive" abilities fall into broad play styles, like Space Bugs get to move, Space Elves get to counterstrike in melee, Space Dwarves get to overwatch, Space Giants get to shrug wounds, etc, then even if you don't remember the details for any given unit, you'll be able to keep the broad strokes in mind while playing. Would also maintain a bit of flavor for the factions.

Curious to see if the new battleshock rules bring back massive horde armies. In which case, so much for faster games...

I am going to miss having a codex to read. A lot of people complain about them but there was something about the artwork and effort that goes into them that I enjoyed.

The new combat patrol idea is great for the same reason that boarding actions is great I'm really liking the small army games and I can get lots of little armies as opposed to investing heavily into one just to play

I know absolutely no youtuber as fast off the mark as you. Amazing.

If Boarding Actions are sticking around, I would hope the Boarding Patrol box sets persist. I think the Tau and Ork ones specifically will prevent them doing that, unfortunately.

Really appreciate new nid models, particularly looking forward to potential shrikes, but as a man who owns 60 termagants and 90 hormagaunts, I'm good until the end of time for gaunts 😅

Interesting that they showed two different Datasheets for Termagants. One with Ripper Swarm one without with different Abilities, weapon choices etc.

What I hope with the new unit spreadsheets is that like shooting, in the fight phase if you have 2 assault weapons instead of picking an either or attacks with, instead like AoS, you attack with both, as each weapon has its own profile, and you can delegate all attacks to 1 weapon of choice. EG Chain axe and Chain Sword-wielding Khorn berserker, or Knigt with a powerfist and chain sword combo

Overall, seems really positive. Army construction rules are the only part I'm kind of worried about, but I'll hold off judgement until we hear more details.
