    Default Warhammer 40k 7th ed?

    via 40k Radio 12-25-2013

    40k 7th ed is slated for 2014 with fantasy 9th being scrapped for the time being. Apparently the source is the one that has been leaking them the info on SM and their other highly reliable previous rumours......
    via Faeit 12-27-2013
    The next edition of 40k will be called 7th, not 6.5 when it drops, but as far as rules go it will be less of a jump than 5th to 6th.

    The key areas being updated:
    Interceptor, sky fire, fortifications, lords of war, allies and data slates.

    As for its release it'll probably be September not "the summer."

    It's not finished yet, still being tested so anything can happen.

    The thought behind this edition is to make the game less alpha strike explosive and more "competitive" at all points values (even when including Lords of War), but D weapons outside of apocalypse may see alternate rules.

    Warhammer 7th Edition is a real thing for 2014.
    1) It will purely be a book release.
    2) It could be released as early as May.
    3) Rulebook with incorporate data slates, escalation, stronghold assault, and some tweaks.

    - 7th 40k edition is only a minor update
    - 40k run is part of the movement phase
    - assault distance is not influenced by terrain, but gives minus two to
    initiative
    - vector strikes allow armour saves, but deal one to six hits
    - 40k uses a percentage system for the army list
    - you can bring as many different allies as you want. You can spend a
    fourth of your points on allies, but they also count as their normal
    category
    - you can bring three allies to a game and must choose one
    - bikes can strike units in 1” in the movement phase without assaulting
    just like chariots, but can attacked back
    - fortification and lords of war rules are in, but no profiles
    - you have to pass a initiative test to shoot overwatching, get minus three
    to ballistic talent
    - you can engage new unit after victory in melee, but enemy can shoot
    overwatch again
    - you can choose to flee if you are charged but can be destroyed
    - if you want to run in 12” of enemy you have to pass a leadertest
    - vehicles get no cover saves against infantry, only against other vehicles

    2 new Force Organizations. ("Battle-Forged" or foc And "Unbound" take whatever) battle forge gives bonuses. New Missions using tactics cards in addition to our current Eternal War Missions, a new "Psychic Phase" of the game, and the full article next week.

    New psychic discipline available to everyone but nids(lol). Psychic phase sounds a lot like fantasy.

    -- So Guys I heard from a pretty reliable source that got to sit down with the book for a few minutes here is what I can remember from what was said.

    1. 4ed consolidate in to combat is in
    2. If you fail to cast a power you can't cast it the rest of the game
    3. Every unit including vehicles will now score
    4. Unbound armies may not contest objectives
    5. Lords of war are in
    6. Escalation and stronghold remain as they are now
    7. Vehicles will be harder to kill the chart changes once more.
    8. The book will come out in 3 options Art like warhammer visions, Fluff book, and one that only contains rules and that one is about as think as the current SM book.
    9.difficult terrain is just -2 inches
    10. Wound allocation has changed a bit.not super clear as to how.
    11. D-weapons toned down but he was unclear as what that meant so from the sounds of it they will still be super ugly. --

    7th Edition Rules
    W40K 7th regulations , hard cardboard box and includes, to my surprise 3 separate books . No one regulation in three parts, if not three books diferentes.

    One called Galaxy War , and will be a starter guide in hobby.114 pages with lots of photos of painted miniatures, "painting guide and model "etc.

    Another called Dark Millennium will have 128 pages for a wide background section of the game and the new illustrations of the most famous characters.

    Finally, The Rules , including 208 pages ( Tachan! ) Demonology among psychic powers.

    Pricing: Case 65 Euros and second surprise: In Spanish or English!

    Other Products:
    Tactical Objectives: are 36 cards. English game with goals coming out in the regulations ( as was done in 2nd with Millennium Ominous start box and edición.No that is because I am beginning to believe that's out of box AS 7TH Vs Orks .. . .) It costs 6.50 Euros ( Very cheap, no. trusting I keep my birds. )

    Psychic Cards: box with 50 large letters for Psychic Powers has 6 known more psychic disciplines of Demonology for 12 Euros And you can also buy in Spanish or English.
