I SENSE CHANGE

 

BATTLE CALLS BROTHERS

 

I AWAKEN

 

The new charge rules image banner is none other than a Crusader™ squad and a Dreadnought with Techmarine in tow.

 

New Rules

 

Brothers. I see mostly net positive on this. Calling target after the roll is a huge improvement. Let's talk about this.

It's looking like after having delivered an edition that leaned more melee friendly, the next edition is leaning a bit more that way?

Unfortunately there's nerfs to charging too, no more ending a charge within 1", you have to roll the full distance required - so we now basically need an extra 0-0.999" on all charge rolls than we do in 10th. Yes calling after rolling is nice as gives some flexibility but the changes to plunging fire makes me think this will be far more of a shooting edition personally. Maybe I'll be proved wrong who knows.

a lot of playtester I know already said that this edition will be a melee edition.

You make a good point with the rebirth of the plunging fire rule.
