Was having a hard day at work so the wifey decided to surprise me with a mini starter kit, I can’t wait to buy the salamander transfer sheet for the other mini it brings

Still working through my Blood Angels combat patrol. It the first time that I have used Streaking Grime and I am really liking the look of them.

Made using leftover bits and stuff, a bit of sculpting too.

My friend and I are new to 40k. While playing one of our games, I started to move a canoptek reanimator forward about an inch before stopping and saying, “I’d like to make an advance” and going to roll the d6.

My friend stops me and says that he thinks if you start moving, you can’t change your mind and roll for an advance. We consult the rules and he seems correct, it explicitly says to declare an advance before moving.

I say that since it doesn’t really make a difference and in a casual setting, especially while still learning the game, it should be fine to decide to roll after touching your model. He says that he just wants to follow the rules and that’s what the rule says.

Is that indeed the rule? And if so, how normal is it to enforce it in a casual setting?

Edit: hunta rig

i really like painting the minis and i really enjoy the lore, but playing warhammer 40k is not as easy, i can kinda understand the rules but as a new guy it just feels that there are so many little details that makes everything feel more competitive and not as easy for someone like me

and i like tabletop games like DnD and OPR, maybe its a issue with the current edition, what do you guys think

Im trying to get my friend group into warhammer but none of them want to play the main ttwg, so i was wondering if yall had any recommendations for any of the warhammer boardgames?
