HOW TO PLAY 11TH 40K Playlist here - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htOYDeNy_C8&list=PLmv1SRWyPfh_D0XFw2xZW6zPUYNj3QQ3N">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htOYDeNy_C8&list=PLmv1SRWyPfh_D0XFw2xZW6zPUYNj3QQ3N&index=1</a><br>SMALL CORRECTION - at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASVCxxY_7Hs&t=827">13:47</a> two of the Chaos Marines I marked at -1 actually can't see the Space Marines. Not sure if I measured the LOS wrong or moved the graphic after measuring, but the two on the right can't quite see round the edge of the terrain area. Apologies for the error there, and thanks for pointing it out.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASVCxxY_7Hs&t=530">8:50</a> this is something I like to highlight in games. These characters in "reality" aren't static, they are poking their heads around cover to take a shot or ducking behind the wall to weave out the way (just think how shots are taken in say Xcom for example). It's easy to forget with little plastic mini's but these are moving entities that don't just T-pose about and stand still.

I love that the "edge case example" is literally an example of a case involving the edge of terrain.

At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASVCxxY_7Hs&t=1289">21:29</a> you mean that the Chaos marines will all take a -1 to their BS right, not the hit role, because the smoke screen provides cover.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASVCxxY_7Hs&t=945">15:45</a> I might remember wrong but I do think it states in the rules that dead models aren't removed until after a unit has done all of its attacks.

Omg! "All unit models at least partially in/behind area terrain (except Vehicles and Monsters) or visually obscured!" THERE WAS THAT SO HARD!

The image at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASVCxxY_7Hs&t=260">4:20</a>... Oh no. Anyway the image here depicts that you must be within or have only partially concealed models because of the terrain to gain the benefits
