5th Edition.....already??????????
5th edition has streamlined the game, made less argumments, and the game has expanded in exciting ways. There are some legitmate concerns and perhaps some tweaks might help. But are the suggestions here to help the game or the armies and situations some individuals believe would help them win. Use house rules if you want.
6th edition will be a huge event, "The Return of the Emperor", a worldwide expansion and event, writing the course of history and dictating the next evolution of the game. There will be Primarchs. newly re-discovered vehicles and weapons, new scenarios, missions and battles, new characters and units for eatch army, a big supplement , like APOCALYPSE. This will be in about 6 years from now. There won't be much of a rules change, and despite some grand arguments, 40k will always be a D6 based game. I think there will be more space ships/fighters and bombers as time goes on.
