If you revert to a dice of hits then that makes that moot. Rarely have I ever seen anyone cram around an objective in such a manner that blasts would be that much better than other forms of shooting.

blackvigil Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm liking everything I am hearing so far. I really do like the 90 minute goal, for games. If I want a 3-4 hour game, I'll field more models, and have lots of beers. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Doesn't sound like 40k and Fantasy will be compatible. Too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always kind of regretted since then that I didn't go through with it ;) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be pretty silly to move their most successful game (40k) to match up with the less successful game (AoS). More likely, this edition of 40k will the groundwork so next edition of AoS will be made compatible with 40k. From the rumors, does look like 40k is moving halfway towards what AoS is now. Still not sure if I'm going to stay with 40k. Does seem like now is a good time to sell off my 40k books, since GW says they'll be giving new rules for everything anyway.

If AoS is an indicator, the basic rules and basic army lists will be free, but the majority of the game books will not be free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Via Pete Foley on Twitter-- No shooting into or out of combat:) Was wondering about that one as it certainly would not work in 40k.Im thinking they will adjust this in AoS as well,,probably not to this extent though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadwing34 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I personally can't wait. I already have my 40k rule book and assorted soon to be OBS cards up on ebay in anticipation of the new edition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarlessllama Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Unit Profiles are up on the community site! Terminators now have 2 Wounds! :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadwing34 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I wonder exactly how the S vs T will work because they already said that any unit has a chance of hurting another unit. But looks good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I wonder how deep they are going to go with Save Modifiers. Capping a save at a 2+ doesn't seem to allow for too much variation. Are there invulnerable saves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andozane Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Very excited about these! Happy to know that S vs T will stlil be an opposed roll so to speak. Happy to see the flat to hit with WS instead of the Vs roll there. And I am so PLEASED to see no Armor Values!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looks good so far. I assume it'll top at 6+. So s1 vs t10 would be a 6. But notice that vehicles have armor saves too. Assume all heavy vehicles will be 2+, so even though a lasgun can wound, the tank can save. 72 shots on average to wound a t5+ with 2+ and hitting on 4s. Heck, even the dreadnaught would require 288 lasgun shots to bring down on average. Possible, but hard to pull off in a normal game. But it does help with avoiding completely wasting shots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andozane Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hmmm...I hope it doesn't do the 6+ at worst...would prefer the old style...6+ followed by a 6+ kinda thing...But we shall see. Of course there will be so many wounds on the larger vehicles maybe that will easily make up for the wounds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted April 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Hey folks, As Andy mentioned on tonight’s Warhammer 40,000 Live Q&A over on Facebook, our Customer Service teams are all set to give you vouchers for any codexes or Warhammer 40,000 rulebooks you’ve bought in the last 8 weeks. So, if you’ve just bought a codex for a new army, or the rules for Warhammer 40,000 itself, in the weeks before the new edition was announced last Saturday, we’ll send you a voucher for the cost of your book. Usually, we’d do this for up to 4 weeks before the update was announced, but as we’re so excited about the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, we’ll be extending this to 8 weeks (8 weeks for the 8th edition!). And of course, you can keep your book(s). You can claim a voucher no matter where you bought your codex and/or rulebook, as long as you have your proof of purchase and it’s dated between the 25th of February 2017 and the 22nd of April 2017. We have a few different Customer Service teams, each helping a different part of the world. Find the email address for your local Customer Service team here: games-workshop.com/Contact-Us 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Last Guardsmen Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Guys, Ld. 7 Space Marines. What?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it looks like they are using the Battle Shock system from AoS in lieu of traditional Morale Tests, Ld 7 is actually really good for a Troops choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonwinter Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 In the new edition, the rules team were keen to have the profile work harder – to better distinguish between the different units so that, for example, Eldar will run faster than Guardsmen, and Hormagaunts run faster than both.""" Hormagaunts run faster than both.!!! they are movement 7 at lest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can safely assume the Astartes will have some rule or the other to be in line with how they currently ignore most morale issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
