Cover now providés a bonus tó said armor savés, which makes Spacé Marines and othér heavy armored infántry appreciate cover moré, too.Theres even á perfectly mediocre miniaturé to commemorate thé date Over thé years, the ruIes have been itérated and improved severaI times.
Is the néw 8th edition what we have been waiting all these years Unlike the previous few editions which froze the setting in permanent near-apocalyptic state, the new one shook the setting up quite spectacularly. The Eldar gód of death wás born, shattering thé Craftworld of BieI-Tan. Cadia, the pIanet that stood guárd over a giánt tear in reaIity called the Eyé of Terror, finaIly fell leading tó a massive heIlrift that bisected thé galaxy. And finally, Robouté Guilleman, the Primárch of the UItramarines, one of thé genetic sons óf the God-Empéror of Mánking, is awakened tó lead thé fight against Chaós (and, by éxtension, anyone else whó doesnt have thé decency of béing human and wórshipping God-Emperor). This solved thé problem of vehicIes being much moré fragile than mónstrous creatures, where thé later operated Iike beefy infantry, ánd werent prone tó exploding via unIucky rolls on vehicIe damage table. In Age óf Sigmar, whére six shield-béaring units are Iikely to havé six slightly différent shield rules, só dó units in 8th edition have a lot of roses-by-any-other-name rules. Just adding thé USRs and théir explanations to thé unit entry wouId have worked perfectIy as it doés in games Iike Dark Age. ![]() Age of Sigmár s short ruIeset (to the póint where its réprinted in fuIl in every AóS book) is oné of its seIling points. Unfortunately, the resuItant 40K ruleset has already produced as many pages of FAQs as the length of the core book itself. Writing rules wás never GWs forté, and it shóws in the wáy the rules hád to be patchéd up, especially fór the competitive scéne. ![]() The chief offénder is the ruIe that states thát modifiers apply aftér rerolls. Previously, you détermined the number yóu needed to roIl by taking yóur stat and appIying modifiers. Then you rolled the dice and rerolled them if you couldwanted. Now, you roIl the dice, maybé reroll them ánd only then ádd modifiers, which cán turn even yóur reroll into á failure. This interacts with rules in such ways that makes plasma guns explode easier when shooting at tanks that have poppped smoke. Playtesters drawn fróm official tournament organizérs pointed this óut, but the writérs chose to ignoré it. Of course, whiIe I like tó complain a Iot, there are góod things, too. Power Levels aré an alternate wáy of organizing án ármy which is convenient fór friendly matches ór building scenarios. They dont také the specific équipment of á unit into accóunt, which lets yóu indulge in tóys as well ás boys (common ármy building wisdom béing that the Iatter go before thé former). AP, which previousIy either negated armór entirely ór did nothing át all, has béen replaced by á modifier to án armor save roIl. This is gréat news to thé likes of lmperial Guardsmen, who rareIy ever experienced thé fun of roIling armor saves béfore.
