More Warhammer 9th Edition Rumors and Teases

The GW Community page info skulls have released more teasers for Warhammer 40k 9th edition. Like the other rules that have been dropped so far, these rules are dramatically different than before, and were often criticized by players in previous editions.

Instead of forging a native with a D6 roll by saying you've hit a good number of people with a 6, or you were unlucky and you only struck one enemy with a grenade on a 1; you are now guaranteed minimums.

Meh.

It's just bending to the whim of tournament players who whine about math during games of space knights and space fungus. There's a push to mitigate risk by removing randomness and I find how it's written to be clunky.

It's written like computer game code but processed at the speed of human gamer: if/then model = 10, then shots = 6d+2

(BuT tEMplAtEs SloW tHe GaME doWn and dICe are t0o RanDoM...)

If GW wanted to be bold, they should scale a grenade attack to 12-inch range and 6d6, S8 attacks. Make a basilisk 500-inch range, 24D6 S15 attacks.

Or better yet, just make guns remove a number of models.

Lasgun- Make a save or remove 1 model.

Bolter- Make save or remove 2 models.

Basilisk- Remove 12 models, no saves allowed.

I'm in a bad mood and even though most of my armies might slightly benefit from this new rule, I don't care for how it's written. 8th, even with its flaws, was tightly written.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe. #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

RTT Tournament results!

I played in a small RTT in Holton today and went 2-1, finishing 5th and beat one of the top players in our conference! (I sqeaked by with a 1-point victory...) I may have been able to beat my second opponent if had I made better selections for secondary objectives. In hindsight, I could have easily won but no matter how I plan for games on paper, there's no better teacher than experience. I'm tuning up my list for the Bugeater Grand Tournament next month in Omaha and I think I'm getting close to my final list. It's not anything really nasty, but it's just solid, durable units. I'm digging it.

Warhammer 40k Primarch Rumors

There's are a couple of rumors floating around from Games Workshop about new Warhammer 40k rules and models releases; as well as major changes to the fluff. Rumor 1: All of the Primarchs will return, including the dead. Rumor 2: One of the traitor Primarchs will become a loyalist and one of the Imperial loyalists will become a traitor. I got into a discussion with some people on a thread on Spiky Bits' Facebook page about it and here are my theories. The Emperor will briefly return, only to be killed again. Once he finally dies, all of the pysker souls he's been consuming on the golden throne will coalesce and bring all of the dead primarchs back to life. The missing primarachs will rush back to Holy Terra like moths to a flame. Of course, this means both Horus and Sanguinius have returned as well. Horus will see the results of his actions and will repent his wicked ways, blame Ebrus/Logar and the Word Bearers for tricking him into corruption and turn to the sid...
