Sigmar is actually having a little bit of a horde problem atm with just how good large units can be. The Games Workshop Group PLC based in Nottingham, England is a manufacturer of miniature wargames company. Remember, with everything wounding everything a 50 man guard squad is SCARY. Warhammer 40,000 also one of the best-known games by Games Workshop. Bringing the core of it over to 8th is a good call but. Roll a die, add the number of lost models, compare vs your leadership value that’s it I’m digging these changes This system is already used in AoS and it works pretty well. Any unit that suffered casualties must make a morale test. The guardsmen lost 30 freakin wounds and the terminators lost 4 that's a potentially HUGE difference in investment. Morale phase happens once per player turn. Side note: this is not an apples to apples comparison. It keeps games with huge model counts from going insanely long and forces horde armies to invest in keeping their dudes around with buffs to leadership. We much preferred them to the current incarnation. We have decided to have a few games of 40k in 40 minutes but going back to the fourth edition rules. It is like a sleeping dog that we just cant let lie. I honestly don't know.ĬommanderRednaxela wrote: So I am quite excited for 8th edition, and yet there is only one thing that severely irks me. And so it has come to pass that 40k has awakened. * How are Commissars going to work in this new system? Will they kill one and thus prevent all causalities, in which case they have no reason not to shoot. The increased focus on atmosphere is a joy, and the fantastic Dark Imperium box is the perfect place to dive back in. This is quite a severe buff to small man squads (and lone monstrous creatures 1 model means that they won't be taking moral), and penalty to large squads.Īnd it doesn't even make sense, you lose models over leadership and so the rest just -poof- are dead. By stripping back the unnecessary complications that had built up over decades, Warhammer 40,000’s eighth edition makes the classic a fast, exciting and vibrant wargame once again. The Imperial Guard, now known as the 'Astra Militarum', are a specific army or faction in the Warhammer 40,000 and Epic tabletop games and universe. Same leadership, same percent, and yet the conscripts lose upwards of 25 models. In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, the Imperial Guard is the army of the Imperium in the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop miniature wargame. Taken casualties + D6 - leadership = models lost (If negative then act as though it were zero)ĥ man terminator squad suffers 3 casualtiesĦ0% loss and yet they stand fast, very well they are termies.Įqual percentage loss puts us at 30 models.
I personally think the current one is pretty much fine, but this new one has a severe issue.įor those who don't know it has been said the new leadership will be So I am quite excited for 8th edition, and yet there is only one thing that severely irks me.
