Hi Dakkites,

Was thinking of armies being simplified in the same way as Warpath.

If every faction had all their special rules removed, not including Weapon rules, and were given 2 Army Wide rules, what would you give them?
Sorry for not giving correct names..

These are what I thought of so far, other players' input required

Adepta Sororitos: 6+ Invul (Can't recall name :()

Chaos Daemon: Daemons; Fear

Chaos Marines: Hatred

Dark Eldar:

Eldar: Battle Focus;

Imperial Guard:

Necrons: Reanimation Protocol;

Orks: Mob thingy..

Space Marines: ATSKNF;

Tau: Overwatch special..

Tyranids:

So what are we talking about here?

SOB already have a 6++, Daemons already have fear because the daemon rule confers fear. Why should Chaos Marines get hatred?

Why do we want to simplify the army rules?

While I admit they can get a bit long winded at times, they also give the armies their character.

Most of the 6th edition armies only have a couple of rules that apply to the whole army anyway, for example eldar only have battle focus and ancient doom as army wide rules.

40k is a convoluted mess, but at least it has flavour to it. And as rohansoldier said, these rules are where the flavour comes from

If you want simple, play Warpath. (seriously do)
