Some notes from 40k's Facebook posts today:Warhammer 40,000 on Facebook posted:- challenge rules are gone from the fight phase, but the restriction on hitting lone characters is only in the shooting phase, so expect to still see mighty heroes taking chunks out of each other in the fight phase.

Seriously wait until the new edition drops and the full verdict is out before dropping money on this stuff. I don't think the faction posts are indicative of anything else than nuGW having learned how to do basic marketing. A lof of the changes do sound nice, but they wouldn't say anything else since they're a company trying to hype their new product: PLAYER: "Will X be good in the new edition?" GW: "Yes, X will be good in the new edition." I'm going to continue painting the things I already have (Space Clowns are almost done) and after that I'll wait and see.

From what i have seen on napkin, Tyrant Guard are now Nid Commissars. When any shots are directed at the Hive Tyrant they immediately make D6 rapid fire attacks at the nearest Tyranid unit. Then resolve the shots taken at the Hive Tyrant as normal.

Someone pointed out that the Chaos article was bad, and this was the reply: Games Workshop posted:"The Chaos article was a little light compared to this one on the juicy details, so we'll use Rubric Marines when we look at Datasheets later in the week. How's that?" Also if rumors are to be believed, the big releases this year will be Space Marines, Chaos, and AdMech

That sounds like a fair compromise. Rubric Marines are bound to have some fun rules to show off.

Toughness 8, 12 Wound, +3 Save Leman Russes... Well, that's enough to get me to unbox my Imperial Guard from Storage. After the wet fart of 7th edition and the endless formation nonsense, I almost never thought I'd see my guard again. I'm almost kind of hyped now.

Just give Trygons rules to act like nydus worms. Then maybe I'd actually use one for once instead of a Mawloc. e below: Yeah I mean rules a human being would actually want to use.

Apparently the Characters preview has now caused the Heralds of Ruin folk to start accusing GW of stealing their ideas. I knew there was gonna be some good drama coming out of this edition but I didn't expect it to come from there of all places.

I liked the idea of challenges, just not the execution. Especially since I play Chaos.

The way they talk suggests that challenges are a thing that may still exist in some form. I assume it will just be Character specific abilities.

If GW steals ideas from Heralds of Ruin Kill Team rules, that would be good. It's the only way of playing 7th without being frustrated.

I like Chaos getting boosts for killing characters, but hated the random table we got and also being required to do it all the time. Hell, so many units don't even have characters in them that I can count on one hand the number of times those challenge rules were actually useful for me. I'm glad it's going away.

Yeaaaaaah it is. There's this weird cult in modern times that thinks you can be like the "ideas guy" and make millions off just your clever idea. And so along with that, you're automatically owed if somebody does something you came up with first. Like, yeah, sure, if you actually build or invent something amazing or patent it or take it to market, you can totally make a killing, or draw it or paint it or sculpt it or whatever; but you don't make poo poo just for having an idea, and most companies have plenty of people with ideas already and aren't even remotely interested in an "ideas guy". Plus all games steal from other games that came before them, and all artist steal from other artists ideas and... yeah.  Soulfucker posted:If GW steals ideas from Heralds of Ruin Kill Team rules, that would be good. It's the only way of playing 7th without being frustrated. But yeah agreed to this generally.

GW posted:"Really big heroes, like Magnus the Red, will still need to brave enemy fire, but with, in his case, over a dozen Wounds and a respectable invulnerable save, he holds his own just fine." They aren't. The main question we have is what form it'll take, however.
