We were promised a reduced game length and less dice throws. The scale of battles has grown – you have to buy miniatures.Īnother thing is that surprisingly there is even more random that it used to be. Models die faster - you have to buy miniatures. The points have risen – you have to buy miniatures. So, it’s obvious that Warhammer has become more expensive. Why should you buy an expensive (almost all point costs have risen) dreadnaught, if it can be seriously damaged by gretchins? There is an interesting thought, which comes after all this – it’s time for huge crowds of cheap models. Wounds multiplication doesn’t leave a place for big models at all. Nonetheless, some units got more wounds (especially vehicles), Rend mechanics almost neglects saves, invulns (in general) were lowered – you will have to mostly rely on the 4+ 5+ throws. As the test game showed, the crowd of cultists can easily reduce Land Raiders wounds to the minimum, where it’s almost immobile and dies of a single lascannon.īy the way, everything doesn’t live long anymore. But considering the fact that now even Str1 can hurt anyone, this makes vehicles totally useless. But who cares about -1…Īll this system with toughness for everyone looks arguable. So, it’s quite low since previously flyers were hard to hit and had a little armor. Nonetheless, their toughness is still created in accordance with the armor they used to have. They are also just monstrous creatures now. There was a hope that flyers will still be hard to hit. We’ve written that movement is now in unit’s profile, that they can shoot into close combat with pistols, you can’t join characters to squads and vehicles now are just monstrous creatures. Our point of view can differ from yours, but that’s ok. We’ve just played test game of 1500 pts and looked through all the books. And we are going to share our first impressions with you. Sure, we won’t tell you, where to get them. Now everyone who knows how to use Internet, can look through all 5 books and the rulebook. We’ve been waiting for the 8 th edition of Warhammer 40 000, and here it is.
