Horus Heresy New Edition, or Just Horus Hearsay?

I might just have missed it in the thread, but what do veterans look like right now? I know they're split into tac and assault varieties, but that's all.

2W and 2A, with lots of weapon options. They're a neat way of creating 'Codex-style' Space Marines, with one heavy and one special weapon; though they're also more flexible than that.

 

I'm very pleased with them, because I think they're great rules for 'truescale/movie marines' when fighting things like Solar Auxilia. Gives them a bit more beef and keeps the numbers low.

How do we have so many extra words in the rulebook and are still arguing RAW/RAI/Generally ruleswriting....

 

There is a reason why case law is a thing. No matter how dense the rules are, something is going to come down to interpretation. And then the interpretation will become the accepted definition of the rules, eventually.

This might be the coolest diorama since the Halo 3 marketing

It is a thing. It's also the reason I didn't do a law degree after my A-Levels. Bringing it into games is deeply frustrating.

And all this is why Designer Commentaries are a gold standard for a rule set.

I can't believe @01RTB01 thought about doing law, and the law won.
