40K 7th Edition Early Rumblings – Rules Percentages

< 1

Apr 30 2014

Following up on this week’s report of GW ramping up for 7th Edition in May, here’s the latest batch of rules morsels of what we will see:

Overall, we are NOT looking at a massive overhaul to the game. Look for a lot of fine tuning, and massaging of the more broken parts of the current 6th Edition to integrate the later rulebooks and clean things up.

First up – Percentage FOC limits (like in Warhammer Fantasy):

40%+ Troops

10%-30% HQ (single character HQ Warlords can break this limit)

<20% Elite

<25% Fast

<25% Heavy

<25% Lords of War

<20% Fortifications…can take multiple fortifications

<25% Allies, Secondary Detachments, or Allied Army Formations

<50% Primary Army Formations

+++We consider this set average reliability+++

Hmmm, so who who you think are the winners and losers with these changes:

We are still very early in this rumor cycle, more as we get it. Expect the drip-drip-drip to accelerate in the next couple of weeks.
