It does now

Cheers Stu, hate that youtube is worked blocked, is a pain when trying to relay these rumours/new releases!

New rumoured changes-

Quote:I spoke with my FLGS guy who talked to the GW rep this morning. Not all of my questions were answered, but here is what I heard that is not something already all over the internet. This assumes the GW rep had his facts straight, and the FLGS guy relayed them correctly via the game of telephone.


Battle Brothers

Eldar/DE
Chaos/Daemons
All Imperium

All others were convenience, desperate or apocalypse.

No answer as to whether you can join units of battle brothers.

Psychic Phase

Roll a D6 and add the total mastery levels of all your psykers. You get that many power dice and your opponent gets that many DTW dice.

To cast a power, you need to roll a 4+ for every warp charge of the power you're using. So warp charge 2 = two 4+, meaning you'd need 4 power dice to have an average shot.

Your opponent dispels the power with a roll of a 6 on their dice. So the more dice they have, the more shots they get at rolling that 6 to cancel out that critical power. I was told that the mastery level of the psyker dispelling the power lowers the roll needed to dispel it. So a ML2 psyker dispels on a 5+, ML3 on a 4+. etc...

That is what I was told.

That seems wrong to me because Fateweaver, Eldrad and Ahriman could dispel anything on a 3+. More likely, I would think you compare mastery levels between the casting psyker and the dispelling psyker, and apply a bonus that way. This is conjecture. What I wrote above is what I was told.

What I also don't know is if there is a dice limit a psyker can use to cast or dispel a power based on their mastery level. I also don't know if you need two 6's to dispel a ML2 power. I assume you do.

You would figure Adamantium Will would give you +1 to DTW for powers cast at a unit with that rule.

Jink Save

Jink is a 4+, however it is no longer always on. You must declare a jink to claim it, and if you do so, it's snapshots only in the next phase.

Sweeping Advance

Unchanged. You do not consolidate into a new combat.

And that's all I got that's new! So you can go runtelldat.

Bumped to next page to keep rumours together

Sad as it sounds I really like the new artwork of these pages. It'll be a cool looking rulebook if anything!

Yeah, also like that rather than having one massive rulebook they have split it into three hardcovers (one with rules, one with hobby stuff and one with fluff) apparently.

Was expecting a minor revision but sounds like some drastic changes are coming.

Depending on price (rumoured at £50), will probably end up pre-ordering on Friday.....

Another new image pretty much confirming no new starter set, read bottom right text in red box-

Dark Vengeance
The Dark Vengeance box
set currently contains a
copy of the rules from
the last edition of
Warhammer 40 000 -
rest assured that in the
near future this will be
updated to contain the
new edition of The Rules
Stay tuned to White
Dwarf for news on this
exciting development.

Lol beastpack to rule for a while longer (guard just didn't bring the fire power I expected...)

Yeah, your Beastpack could be horrible if the consolidate into combat rumour is true, constantly tie up any units that are to close together.

Consolidate into combat will make glass hammer combat armies possible, units like Harlequins and Genestealers will become viable again.

Confirmed price-

I hope they don't give WFB a cover as bad as that. It's akin to a bad Black Library book cover.
