This page is meant to index pages for the Warhammer 40,000 tactics dumps, and also acts as a repository for more general 40k tactics.

This is the current [[Warhammer_40,000_10th_Edition|10th Edition]]'s General tactics. [[Warhammer_40,000/9th Edition Tactics|9th Edition Tactics are here]].

== USRs ==
After spending two entire editions trying to negate them, GW finally decided to reintroduce Universal Special Rules once more.

*'''Deadly Demise X''': New name for the various rules for Vehicles exploding and thus on tanks and some monsters, if this unit dies, it deals X hits to nearby enemies.
*'''Deep Strike''': After spending all of 8E and 9E trying to reword it in a million fancy rules, they're now back to where they started.
*'''Firing Deck X''': Despite 8th Edition mostly doing away with it, firing ports are back. Some transports let you have X models inside inside it fire a gun at an enemy within range, so it once again means your chimeras and especially your trukks can do a lot more now.
*'''Invulnerable Save X+''': This is still kicking around, but now the datacard makes it more obvious with a big shield.
*'''Feel No Pain X+''': Another rule that didn't need a hundred different rewordings. It's another save you can take after getting wounded, just like the Emperor intended.
** As the Terminator Librarian shows, this will also be how you're able to resist psychic powers.
*'''Leader''': Pretty much explains which characters can attach themselves to units.
*'''Psychic''': With the psychic phase gone, this is your only way to indicate what weapons and rules are psychic powers (which also means that it applies to Force Weapons again).
**Since these powers are on the card and not anywhere else, is it possible that psychic tests are back to being Leadership tests instead of being mere 2d6 rolls against a power's TN?

=== Weapon USRs ===
*'''Assault''': Like last edition, Assault Weapons can be fired after advancing. Unlike last edition, doing so no longer inflicts any penalties to hit.
*'''Anti-{{W40kKeyword|KEYWORD}} X+''': Any hits against a unit with the mentioned {{W40kKeyword|KEYWORD}} tag that roll an X+ to wound count as having rolled a natural 6.
*'''Blast''': Might be unchanged from last edition.
*'''Devastating Wounds''': Rolling a natural 6 to wound makes any damage the attack deals mortal wounds.
*'''Hazardous''': Might well be the way Gets Hot! will be reworded.
*'''Heavy''': No longer restricted to just heavy weapons, as even the basic Bolt Rifle has this. Weapons with this rule can be fired on the move, but they add +1 to BS if the model hasn't moved before shooting.
*'''Ignores Cover''': If you need to ask what this does, it ignores the rock you've been living under for the last eight editions.
*'''Melta X''': Meltaguns and other Melta-adjacent weapons always worked better at half-range anyways. This adds +X to the gun's damage if you fire it within half their listed range.
*'''One Shot''': Single-use weapons.
*'''Pistol''': Presumably allows pistols to shoot while in engagement range.
*'''Lethal Hits''': Any natural 6s to hit automatically wound. It's yet to be seen if this can potentially trigger anything like ''Devastating Wounds''.
*'''Precision''': Probably Precision Shots/Hits, might allow a unit to ignore the typical wall of bodies to pick out a single model to hit. Or the old Sniper rule.
*'''Rapid Fire X''': A mix between how last edition did it and the Orks' Dakka weapons. If this gun is fired at half-range, they now add +X extra attacks.
*'''Sustained Hits X''': Rolling a natural 6 to hit deals +X additional hits.
*'''Torrent''': Given to spray weapons like the Pyreblaster. Might just be their auto-hit rule, but their BS is also listed as N/A so it may be something else like the old Torrent rule [[Melta Rifle|(especially with how Primaris weapons tend to get better range)]].
*'''Twin-Linked''': Back from the dead, this lets you re-roll to wound. Even better, this can now be applied to melee weapons in cases where the model is dual-wielding!
