A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No contemporary politics, no political debates. This is a space to enjoy the hobby and get away from the doomscrolling.

How to play Thousand Sons on tabletop? (lemmy.world)

Hey all! I just played my first game of 40k recently, using a ~1k Thousand Sons list. I got pretty roundly stomped by my opponent using Space Marines.

Admittedly, I didn't really make use of rituals or stratagems, and I'm sure we missed plenty of unit abilities, so it may not have been super representative.

Either way, are there any TSons players here? I'd like to pick up some tips if there are any ๐Ÿ‘€

Yeah, the rituals force you to play in a very limited corset and punishes you for strive from it...

BUT

GW seems to acknowledge that themselves and changed the army rule now with the new book. I think we all have to wait a little more, try out all the new rules and detachment and then conclude our self what to do with TS

BUT (again, I know...)

I'm not a TS Player (a good friend of mine is, tough), so maybe some other players can you give already a better answer.
