>Also, while we’re on the subject of rules, we’ve some great news – the core rules for Warhammer 40,000 will be available for free! You’ll be able to download the Battle Primer PDF on games-workshop.com and warhammer40000.com from June 17th.

>Core rules will be available for free!
Rejoice Poorfags!! New Games Workshop™ noticed you.

Now the only question is how much the actual rulebook's going to cost everyone, and how badly everyone's wallet is going to bleed money over this...

Disappointing article, essentially just covers how poison and FNP are working in 8th ed and this new toy that reads like a weaker plasmagun. Roll on Thursday for the boyz.

>GeeDubs released a faction focus on the tyranids before Orks
Honestly at this rate Orks will be the last to get a Faction focus.
How many dice are we rolling anyway? 2d6?

>mfw when I didn't scroll down through the rest of the faction focus and see this.
Frag me I really DO need some morning brew to wake up...

This basically shows the problem I have with """"""bespoke"""""" rules. Death Guard gain what is basically now feel no pain. Guarantee they won't be the only units to have a rule just like it, but it'll be called something else. It's so much easier to name them the same rule, so when your opponent says "they have feel no pain" you can think oh, I know what that is, my units have that, too. Instead, it'll be "I have disgustingly resilient" and then they'll have to explain what it is, and then you say "oh, that's just like my feel no pain rule". USRs were a good thing, and they could keep those while still putting all the rules on the datasheets

THIS. Plus, they'll fuck up and word one differently, so it usually works one way, but in this edge case that one works differently. Also they'll FAQ them differently.
