GIANT 40k/WFB Rumordump - WARNING NaCl ALERT!!!

[Lord Asterion]

and do you know the whole story def?

is this the one where it was proposed that the "leaked" rules were chambers brain child before he left GW?

I thought it was Alessio? Although seeing rules he's written by himself since leaving GW, its nothing like his style

[daboarder]

pretty sure it was chambers, as the similarities between the leaked set and the starship troopers rules was the "evidence"

edit: assuming the premise that it WAS chambers work, and therefore leaked by him, I still dont buy it and Ive never seen non-circumstantial evidence for it

[Mr Mystery]

Yet anything anyone employed by GW creates on company time.....belongs to GW, thus my constant derision of the SST theory

[Lexington]

no they weren't they were complete fabrications that included enough specific details from the rumours to be believable.

Tyranid Transports, the CEREBORE, nuff said

Can't find a full list of rumors from the time, but I'm pretty sure Precision Shot wasn't one of them.

As to the Cerebore, Tyranid transports, etc. - remember, just because we don't see something from GW doesn't mean it wasn't in the pipeline at some point, or isn't still in there, held for a future release. Recall those Centurion-esque sketches that were floating around for, what, ten years or so before we saw the models?

and do you know the whole story def?

You'd be surprised what Def knows.

dear heavens is there enough salt in the world to put on that to make it even semi-believable?? no way on earth is that going to happen it's GW not Privateer Press, the games were never designed to be compatible and it would take such an unbelievable overhaul of the systems that and such a total outrage in general that GW wouldnt risk it, they might do the odd crazy thing but their not going to risk their following that much....if it was for a new subsystem that in some way combined elements of both games then MAYBE just MAYBE it would absolutely barely believable

Rogue Trader was fully compatible with whatever version of WFB was out at the time. I know because my friends and I used to play Space Marines versus Dwarves & such. The old Realm of Chaos tomes also mixed the two systems. Allowing Fantasy Chaos characters to be gifted with 40K weapons.

Not saying it would be a good idea to go back to that at all, but the history is there.

I still have the old Warhammer Siege book that had rules for both. Space Marines assaulting fantasy castles for the win.

There are reasons the two rulesets diverged though. On the other hand, for some time now Fantasy has been way behind 40k in sales, so it wouldn't surprise me if at some point they shake things up to make it more 40kish.

There was a leaked set of rules for 5th and 6th edition. Both had ideas that made the final version. Like evade in the 6th set, which became jink. I don't think any actual rules made it. I'd have to check with someone who will admit to having a copy. I think the 2d6 blast scatter was in the 5th version.
There are lots of theories about where the rules came from but I don't buy someone did all that work just for Lols. I do recall GW publicly denied the 6th set, on Facebook.

If 7th ed is going to hit in June surely we are due a leaked set about now

Evade didnt become jink.

jink was in 5th it just had the mechanism slightly altered and the application expanded. Its certainly not derived from the mechanism which resulted in to hit modifiers based upon how far the target moved last round that was the evade rules

I wonder what Senator Vreenak has to say on this matter.
