I heard that GW is switching over to a D10 system, that way they can make more money by forcing all the kids to buy new GW D10s.

Testing out a new source, huh d-usa?

Oooh, sounds like it's gonna be a fun edition! All sorts of new things to buy and try!

It's neeeeeew and shiiiiiiinyyyyyy... :: zombie-like stare at an imaginary new model, while drooling ::

[Not poking fun at you. I just like that particular rumor because it's 100% plausible.]

That is the point, Pouncey.

When you look at how the rumors from sites like BoK are, it's almost always set up so that the more vague and likely rumors are from "trusted sources" while the outlandish and unlikely rumors are from "untested sources".

It means that they effectively can insulate themselves from looking untrustworthy by just writing off the unlikely rumors as "trying out a new source".

:: nods :: I can see how that might work. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. I don't put much stock in rumors to begin with. ^_^ Hugs?

No hugs. Friendly handshakes is all I allow with interweb strangers.

Awwwr... Forget it, then.

I hate the gameplay, and I hate the fluff changes even more. TBF I am cynical when it comes to most things, and even if these were true they probably wouldn't be too bad, although the whole Tau/Marine buddies is really dumb, I mean aneurysm inducing level of stupidity. The emperor's whole spiel was that the galaxy should belong to humanity.

Didn't say anyone was. I have the central mechanics down, and a DA and Ork force list (Next on the docket is DE and Chaos). I'm just hoping 6th ed will do the job for me, as I still want to play sometimes outside of my circle of buddies. We've been playing house ruled Fantasy, Mordheim and Risk for a while, so it'll be easy to get them to help me balance their armies, but I know how much the average 40k fanboy hates house rules, even more house rule sets.

Basically the same reason why I want to wait until the new Starter set before I expand my DA.

Oh Canada, you crazy...

Not everbody who doesnt like your house rules is a fanboy.

Bottom line is the majority of house rules I have encountered have been abyssmal. 99.9% of wargamers feel they could write a better codex/rules set, yet 99.9% of those are utterly dillusional of their own writing/game design qualifications.

Be sure to post your homebrew for us fanboys...

If they are finecast I'm sold.

Assuming they come with greenstuff to fill all the holes in them.

My sources tell me that GW will sell a separate kit that will allow you to drill out and fill your dice to roll either high or low.

I know my homebrew Codex was abysmal. Complete and total cheese kind of abysmal. That was probably at least 7-8 years ago, though, and it killed my urges to make homebrew Codices. Special rules for missions or terrain I've made have been similarly fated, and as such, scrapped after a game or two, as they often caused incredibly brutal and senseless casualties on one side, the other, or both. I know I'm a terrible rules designer.

But I'm not a terrible writer. I do okay at writing fanfiction.

I guess I'm one in a thousand, then.

sorry wrong thread

Excellent addition to the thread, good sir!

Bravo, I say! Bravo!

Considering the rumors, I will say that 90% of them are sheer bunk.

Please keep saying that and come back in a month to admit how wrong you are.

Considering some of the really strange things GW has been doing lately... I can believe just about anything at this point.
