Tabletop Tactics Does It Right: 9th Edition Amid a Pandemic

tabletop tacticsTabletop Tactics has been staying consistent with battle reports in the middle of a worldwide crisis- check out wargaming done right.

You may or may not have heard of these guys but Tabletop Tactics is a group of players within the 40k community that produces high-quality battle reports with loads of scenarios and different armies. What’s even more impressive is that they have been determined to pump out videos in accordance with their local government during this worldwide crisis we all face.

Tabletop Tactics Does It Right: 9th Edition Amid a Pandemic

This trailer gives you a solid idea of what these guys are about!

In the growing wake of a global crisis, Tabletop Tactics has this video on their website explaining the measures (and improvements) made to their filming. Long story, short- They are able to keep filming new battle reports while keeping safety measures in place to protect everyone involved.

Some of these measures include: new radio microphones, players are using with their own models and dice, they’re rolling those dice on their own dice trays, the camera has an extended pole to keep the cameraman safe while still capturing all the shots, and finally, rigorous hand-washing between rounds.

Now, with that said, these battle reports aren’t just any 40k showdowns. They are using all of the 9th Edition rules!

They also talk about updated mechanics like coherency and Blast-keyworded weapons in relation to units. Even if you don’t play Space Marines or Necrons, we strongly recommend you watch this battle report to see how a new standard game of 9th Edition looks!
