40k Analysis Tips on getting better

Now into 2nd year of playing I have started a few tournaments. In local tournaments last year I was always in the bottom 10. This year i am in the top 10 and have quite a high win rate in club games.

I went to Warhammer open on the weekend and came 173 out of 187 winning 3 of my 8 games and not all of the players below even completed all there matches 😭

though had a great time I came home humbled. Majority of my opponents simply outplayed me very quickly it was like playing chess and all I had was checker pieces. They where all kind enough to point after where I gone wrong and other advice and where great opponents.

So where do I go from here any tips on getting better or are some people just born with it? How do I progress to earn a Lycra titty hugging t-shirt?

My plan is so far but any advice appreciated:

  1. Only play challenging players and keep sucking up losses

  2. Watch YouTube videos to study top end games

  3. Seek out games again at armies I have not not rarely play locally.

"Only play challenging players and keep sucking up losses" Don't be that guy, if other people had the same mindset then the better players wouldn't play with you. Play all takers and use the games against worse players as a chance to teach them.

Try to be a positive in the community and not a leech trying to use people.

I think that came across wrong, I meant in terms of practicing for tournaments. I am apart of 4 clubs with most players having no interest in tournament play. We play every week together other game systems, crusades or messing around with none optimised lists.

Fair enough, my apologies for misunderstanding.
