It needs to move more towards AoS rules. Fewer rules, cleaner and simpler to play. Right now it has a range not as nice as AoS and rule set not as nice as AoS.

40k is the clusterF cousin of Fantasy/AoS where they kluge things to make it seem simpler. I was excited about 8th ed when 40k finally caught up but man, it was still so many rules issues and bloat. And whilst the game is a driving force for sales GW will not significantly change it again.

Anything like WFB has to die a death,.. like it did. And it was successful. Stop thinking about a gaming style popularized 40 years ago. It's okay things change for the better.

Hahahahahaha



Wait, you're serious?

Rules bloat is a huge issue in 40k. They really need to have a defined skirmish level where they can go ham with stuff like the strategy points and such, and then a battle level which is more streamlined and is like 3rd where you can look at a unit and understand what its capable of. Then they can go Apocalypse level where you just care about unit blocks rather then individual models.

In 40k now you need rules to prevent models from being wiped off the table in one turn. That is a clear indication of power bloat and rules boat where Ragnar Blackmane can wipe a Knight Titan off the map in one phase.
