To boldly be eaten where no grot has been eaten before!

It was last night, we must've been late in delivering the memo.

Actually in all honesty they're not evil just massively incompetent when it comes to rules. Not just in terms of releasing models with broken ones but some of the updated rules for 8th edition for older models just plain don't work or are either incredibly overpowered or completely pointless to ever bring for any reason.

The main one that people tend to bring up is the Tau flyer that stops being able to shoot its guns in 8th. Not "isn't as good at shooting" or "can only shoot in certain circumstances" but just can't fire its guns as the rules are written.

With what's been going on at FW they should have just delayed releasing their 8th edition rules for three months, or put the rules up for free as playtest rules and let the community go over them and find all the problems.

Trying to get 4 indexes out in that time frame with what has happened just wasn't realistic, so it looks like a lot of stuff is unedited 1st draft stuff.

I think he means numbers not weight.
