Honestly I didn't even read the rumor part this time. All the hate pasted at the top suggests to me alot of this could just be made up crap.

Honestly I didn't even read the rumor part this time. All the hate pasted at the top suggests to me alot of this could just be made up crap.
Can someone summarise all the important stuff in that? Not sure i have the patience....
I don't have the time to read it all right now but *cough* That is either the most elaborate attempt to make a rumor ever, or it literally is all of 6th Edition. Or some variant. I mean that's a lot of text.
Do you really think we'd have *all* of 6th edition now? I find that difficult to believe.
That doesn't count.
I read through about half of it before I got bored and wandered off. Some of the rules sound like they are taken directly out of AT-43, especially all the stuff about measuring to and from squad leaders.
OK...i've kinda read it
And I f***ing hate it
This isn't even funny. It sounds horrible to play. Games are gonna take twice as long, your going to need whole books of tables next to you when you play. Horrific data tables, extra layers of uneccessaryness
The fliers sound uneccessarily complicated. With this "variable" rolls to hit, shooting is going to be significant;y more complex, its going to make certain armies horrific to face (lets just give Nob Bikers an even bigger boost). Its...just argh!
I hope to god its not true. Cos if it is this is going to put more people off the game than the price rises did...
The only beneifts in that ENTIRE list of horsesh*t that sounds good is blast templates not being half strength on vehciles if not under the whole, and open topped not being a penalty (good for DE players).
However the idea that a weapon that isn't AP1 always having a -1 is horrific. Its just going to put meltaspam even stronger, especially as it easier for them to hit the tank now.
Every army is going to need 5-10 pages of updates to match these rules. Whole armies are suddenly going to become even stronger or get f**ked hard
Actually I think all it is from what I read is an amalgamation of 5th edition/ 2nd edition/ At-43 (there's alot of it in there, more than you want to know) and Forge World.

That's a mock up table I found of what the 'to hit' table would look like if the rumors were true.
EDIT: Due to the people over a warseer having a panic attack at the fact that I put the table from their over here (I did say I found it!) all the credit goes to MasterSlowPoke, I didn't think people would get so bothered about putting a table on another forum, if I had taken credit, fair enough, but...
