Is that not what games worksop does now though?

New rulset to make all current armies useless = more money in sales as people build new armies

And thanks to you, Mr. Salvatore, for a set of poorly written slap-dash rules!

I miss messing people up with Nob Bikers, especially when it was Blood Angels. My advice is to troll as many dudes as you can this month because it'll be all change no doubt.

**rosinator**

So if I'm planning on buying AoBR as a way of getting back into the game, I definitely should wait instead?

**blood reaper**

I may actually buy the Rule Book this time!

It's not like half of the last rule book, wasn't rules.

Oh wait.......

**Bloodwin**

I'm curious about what variations of the book they will release such as collectors ed like they did for Fantasy.

Thats if there even is a 2013...

Who else is scheduling an Apocalypse game for December 21 this year?

Too busy preparing for the inevitable zombie apocalypse this December...

Maybe if you also survive and the internet somehow still works we can arrange a big 'ol worldwide game of 6th edition, survivors-day!

Me too... It might seriously affect what I buy in the next year or so. Anyway, I have mixed feelings about 6th ed. I guess I'll just wait until I have the book in hand to pass judgement.

**Eldar Craft**

I need this edition starter to come out so I can work the birthday present angle with the wife.

**Smitty**

I was telling a friend about how 6th is probably going to come out around October, and my GW Store manager stopped me and said "Nah, sooner."

Here's an idea, I know it's a little out there but hear me out; how about.......you buy a balanced all-comers army and throw in a few units you just like the sound of, rather than building your whole force around the exploitation of a single rules quirk and hand-carving the models out of prime aged cheddar, then complaining that said quirk gets fixed in the new edition, you know, that thing that games do in order to fix quirks and mistakes.

Ouch. Guess Ill watch the forums for details on the changes before I jump into that. If its not a big enough change from 5th Ill stick with the Shockforce/Warengine system for my 28mm needs.

Settle down...I was merely passing comment that I "hope" they are not completely useless in the new edition....but thanks for the feedback it was really out there!!! If it makes you feel better I have never even used the list and managed to build the models up over a long period. (perhaps to keep you happy I wont even use them now and pack them away forever

)

**TheSovereign**

I'm never privy to juicy insider info, but I heard something similar this week from a GW store manager here in the States.

Well, if you get that theory to spread you will eliminate 40k players faster than the price increases do.

In all seriousness I agree with you. I guess optimized/maxed armies are fine for tournies and competitive play...but I vastly prefer friendly games with cool themed or fluff armies. Me, I love Terminators, and Im working on a Deathwing (counts-as) army...tough sure, but also has some tactical limitations.

From Faeit 212, basically adding more of the same rumours above to the 6th edition release date.

Interestingly it mentions the mid-June manager's meeting. Here's hoping at that time we see some good 6th leaks pour out of the woodwork leading up to June 30 release.

**Milisim**

Roll on 6E....

Don't let the door hit 5E on the way out!

**McNinja**

You know what this means, right? All those models from the AoBR set are going to be even cheaper. it'll be great, getting a dreadnought for $12.

**H.B.M.C.**

Umm... wouldn't they get more expensive?

That would be nice, but that might be wishful thinking for you and me both. Unless you're being facetious, in which case "agreed".

**Kilkrazy**

I think the rulebook will be £45 or possibly £50, and the codexes will be £20 or £25 and hardback.

Agreed, they'll match the precedent set by Fantasy: £45 large hardback rulebook with £25 full colour hardback codexes. Or whatever the new prices are for the rulebook/armybooks after the price rise next week.

What I'm looking forward to are £8 plastic characters for 40K in the same vein as the new Fantasy ones

**Motograter**

At a guess rulebook £50, codexes? £25. Plastic characters £10+

**Eydude1**

"A source" Told me 6th is supposedly comming out at the end of next month... he also told me AOBR is soon gonna be taken off the shelves.

That's the risk you run when you build an army around exploiting a particular rule. Everyone running Draigowing is going to face the same dilemma.

**Tauzor**

There is no 6th... it has a different name.

Interweb users who will refer to it as 6th will be burnt .

-Look for random game length to head into history.
-That random terrain a la fantasy is only the beginning - look for being able to not only purchase a select group of terrain options for your army lists (bunkers, trenches, etc...) but....

wait for it...

-Template weapons are said to have the ability to SET TERRAIN AFLAME!!!!

-In the Games Workshop "hidden in plain sight" department there is word that all 5th Edition rulebooks will get pulled from shelves this upcoming week. There is normally a 30 day window between old obsolete product being pulled and its replacement arriving on store shelves. If I owned a game company, I certainly wouldn't want my primary game system to sit on shelves without a rulebook for too long...

- Finally there is word that an initial set of 6th product codes will become available for retailer ordering late June, including "new rulebook, templates, dice and either markers or cards for psychic powers"
