this is an intersting one...any unit with the jink rule must declare if they will jink before any rolls to hit are made

looka like jink is now a standard 4+

But if they use Jink, they can only snapfire next turn

sorry yes..thats correct..shouldv said

 

[fatmantis]

look out sir is no on a 4+ this is a good change...no distinction between IC and say sgts

 

[fatmantis]

Challanges---if an opponent is slain in a challenge each excess wound is allocated one at a time to the next nearest model...this i great

 

[Nacho libre]

Hmm these rule changes may actually make me get the 7th rule book.

I like that. Makes it much more balanced.

I like this, makes for sense than physicing out the enemy by wasting attacks mangling a corpse...

EDIT: I play blood angels mostly and wothout going into to much detail, how much am I affected?
Are assaults more/less viable?
Is overwatch more/less lethal?
Furious charge changed?
Anything else?

 

[Archon Dan]

Definently sounds interesting. Some things seem more balanced but some do not. Guess I have to get it, and grab the fine-tooth comb.

The question remains for me if there is enough improvement over 6th to justify buying it instead of another box of plasticrack.

 

[scscofield]

A better question would be do the people you play with plan to get it. Since it is the new edition many places you go to will being useing the book. So unless you have a set of defined players sticking to 6th your going to need the new rules to play.

 

[Samules]

If other people in my group get it the problem is solved and I'll just borrow theirs!

Are assaults more/less viable?assaults have always been viable
Is overwatch more/less lethal?looks the same
Furious charge changed?still +1 strength
Anything else?in what regards

the books are beautiful...even for that reason i would suggest getting a copy.
my only gripe if i had one is that the other 2 books though lovely..kinda seem wasted..but thats just a small gripe...they really have done a better job on the book visually over 6th. also it does seem they have expanded some rules better..not all there is a couple that probably need and FAQ but overall its quite good

i think at the moment people are just bitching due to the time span and arent really open to the new rules..which though it makes sense is kinda stupid...i think within a few weeks and the reviews come out..im not much of a reviewer..just wanted to get some spoilers out..peoples attitudes will change.

at my shop we have a great bunch of hobbyists who take the good with the bad..so everybody is openly welcoming the change...but i suppose that makes a big difference.
