A source on faeit212 claims release date for 7th 40k edition is 31st May, preorder date 24th May.

I think the pre order date for the new rule book is the 24th. So sale on the week after. Most shops should have a poster with a commissar on it in there shops. And the date 24th war is coming or something in those lines.

6th edition rulebook and starter box confirmed to be OOP in all languages.

I'm hearing elsewhere that there was a UK GW managers meeting yesterday, during which they were told to remove 6E rulebook from shelves in preparation for a new one at the end of May. Unsurprisingly, this isn't a popular move even among store managers, as they know how much of a customer backlash will be heading their way.
They've also been told to continue selling Dark Vengeance, but once the new BRB drops they have to put a sticker on the box that says the rules inside aren't current.

Jimmy Ellwood over at Warseer wrote:Just seen an email sent to all GW store managers at 8.40pm last night advising them to remove the 40k rulebook from their stores on Wednesday as it isn't to be sold anymore. If customers ask for it they are to advise them to check out white dwarf.

All the UK store managers are in their managers meeting today so I am sure will be getting their full brief on what is happening.

I have heard more indications that indeed:
1.) New edition is coming end of the month
2.) 6th edition rulebook and starter box are OOP
3.) New starter will be BA vs. Orks.
4.) Escalation and stronghold are included in the new rulebook.

From Natfka:

The FoC chart is still in the new 40k edition and if you follow it you have what is known as a "Battle Forged" army. It awards (unlisted) bonuses for using the FoC.You can also take a unbound army, these allow you to take whatever you want from your collection and toss out the FoC (while still adhering to unit size and heeding the relationships described in the new Allies Matrix.

Another thing is objective cards, so the objectives of the game can change each turn. The deck will be 36 cards.

There is also a physic phase confirmed now. A pool of warp charge dice is created at the start of the psychic phase, equal to 1d6 + mastery lvl of psychers. You can use as many dice as you like, but increase risk of perils of the warp (which is now a table you roll on.) Enemy psychers can draw on warp charge pool to Deny the Witch and nulify powers.

Also Eternal warrior missions still exist but in addition there are 6 new Maelstrom of War Missions.

via another anonymous source on Faeit 212
Additional information that a Battle Forged list can take as many detachments as they wish, and still get bonus's.. The Unbound lists, is very much whatever you want to throw in to do a battle, and you get to choose which you want to play, and your opponent can do the same.

Another excerpt from the same issue of WD:
Warhammer 40,000 In the Bunker

With a new edition of Warhammer 40,000 on the horizon, Jes, Dan an Adam locked themselves in the hobby room with games designer Robin Cruddace to try out the new game mechanics.

Dan and Robin teamed up in a desperate alliance of Tau and Space marines, which led to many sideways glances and shifty manoeuvres. Adam and Jes chose Tyranids and had no such problems, chomping their way through everything in their path to steal most of the strategic objectives. In the end, the battle came down to a signle combat between Dan's Riptide and Adam's Hive Tyrant (who was worth a possible four victory points). Sadly, though not unexpectedly, the Hive Tyrant won.

1. 4ed consolidate in to combat is in
2. If you fail to cast a power you can't cast it the rest of the game
3. Every unit including vehicles will now score
4. Unbound armies may not contest objectives
5. Lords of war are in
6. Escalation and stronghold remaine as they are now
7. Vehicles will be harder to kill the chart changes once more.
8. The book will come out in 3 options Art like warhammer visions, Fluff book, and one that only contains rules and that one is about as think as the current SM book.
9.difficult terrain is just -2 inches
10. Wound allocation has changed a bit.not super clear as to how.
11. D-weapons toned down but he was unclear as what that meant so from the sounds of it they will still be super ugly. --

My FLGS manager got some info out of his GW rep. Apparently they can spill the beans now, but I only got a bit of new infos about the psychic phase.

At least paste the information... edit: Ahh, he wants blog hits.

I spoke with my FLGS guy who talked to the GW rep this morning. Not all of my questions were answered, but here is what I heard that is not something already all over the internet. This assumes the GW rep had his facts straight, and the FLGS guy relayed them correctly via the game of telephone.


Battle Brothers

Eldar/DE
Chaos/Daemons
All Imperium

All others were convenience, desperate or apocalypse.

No answer as to whether you can join units of battle brothers.

Psychic Phase

Roll a D6 and add the total mastery levels of all your psykers. You get that many power dice and your opponent gets that many DTW dice.

To cast a power, you need to roll a 4+ for every warp charge of the power you're using. So warp charge 2 = two 4+, meaning you'd need 4 power dice to have an average shot.

Your opponent dispels the power with a roll of a 6 on their dice. So the more dice they have, the more shots they get at rolling that 6 to cancel out that critical power. I was told that the mastery level of the psyker dispelling the power lowers the roll needed to dispel it. So a ML2 psyker dispels on a 5+, ML3 on a 4+. etc...

That is what I was told.

That seems wrong to me because Fateweaver, Eldrad and Ahriman could dispel anything on a 3+. More likely, I would think you compare mastery levels between the casting psyker and the dispelling psyker, and apply a bonus that way. This is conjecture. What I wrote above is what I was told.

What I also don't know is if there is a dice limit a psyker can use to cast or dispel a power based on their mastery level. I also don't know if you need two 6's to dispel a ML2 power. I assume you do.

You would figure Adamantium Will would give you +1 to DTW for powers cast at a unit with that rule.

Jink Save

Jink is a 4+, however it is no longer always on. You must declare a jink to claim it, and if you do so, it's snapshots only in the next phase.

Sweeping Advance

Unchanged. You do not consolidate into a new combat.

And that's all I got that's new! So you can go runtelldat.

All right before all of you blow us up step back and take a deep breath. This is from the source that have us pictures of the Space Marines and the Codex a month early. Also gave us pics of the Dark Elves which we described accurately a month early. Also gave us the info on the Sentinels of Terra. He also let us know that Nids were in January NOT December like so many other rumors sites predicted. So yeah he has been very accurate with the info he has given us. They way it was explained to us is that 7th Edition will be made to include the new Escalation and Stronghold rules. I would also not be surprised to see the Dataslates added to the main rule book.

Yes this is a rumor at this stage so take it with a grain of salt. But then again everything out source has said has come true. Only time will tell. Have a Merry Christmas with your families and don't let this put a knot in your undies.

anymous source on faeit212 wrote:40k 7th edition and the new starter kit Beachhead Stygia. It is small kit, with only five scouts, five blood angels, a commander with jump pack, five meganobs, 10 armoured ork shootas including a nob with two-handed axe and 10 gretchins. There are some destroyed columns, destroyed gothic stone walls and a three-piece stone bridge carried by gargoyles. It has a 96 page book, but only about the half is used for rules including three scenarios. Expert rules like all vehicle-related stuff are omitted completely. There are a handful of dice, a ruler, but no blast markers.

At the same time, there will be a new starter painting kit with 10 snapfit miniatures that will bring the tactical marines from the starter box to a full squad size and gives the ork player 5 additional boyz. It has a 48 page booklet with additional scenarios and hobby guides, brushes, basing sand and glue.

I'm in general agreement with this. I think some issues in the game will be addressed, but it'll probably be narrative-focused like 6th, and not the tight, tourney-ready ruleset that some clamor for. And I'd be fine with that. I've completely come to terms with 6th edition's general approach.

I have it on good authority that a 6.5 is coming this summer. Weather it be may or not I can't say but it will still be 6th edition, maybe very very minor tweaks but nothing more then making things all inclusive in one book. A new starter set is very probable with the rumors of irks and blood angels making sense since both are needing updates BUT their is a 50/50 shot the starter box will not have a small rulebook. It may only contain quick start rules for very basic play.

The only reason I have actually bought into all of this is it makes sense with what games workshop has been doing. Odds say with a new book that is just all inclusive with all of the supplements they will either repack the starter to not include a book or they will make a new starter. Why wouldn't they make a new starter to boost sales of 2 probable upcoming releases. Dark vengeance has run its course and for current players all of us who are going to buy the starter have, for new players it doesn't matter. So why not make a new starter for those of us currently in the hobby to buy 3-4 of like many of us do. It just seems common sense to me or we could be all way off.

9th ed for fantasy is ready and I wouldn't be suprised to see it drop this fall. I'd say Oct for the Christmas season

Oh right, it's Monday, most GW stores are closed...

I think the fact that 7th most likely won't be a rules tune-up makes me feel that its even MORE of a cashgrab.

Honestly, what purpose could it serve if it's not tightening the rule set up? Do we need a couple new pages of USRs?

EDIT: like a couple others have said I guess it could just be 6.5. I'm not excited that Escalation will become truly integral to the core rules if that is the case though.

On moon miranda.

while in theory I'd welcome a 7th edition (as 6th is a gigantic mess), unless it's a major reboot, I don't think it's going to do what anyone really wants it to. Half of what needs fixing won't get fixed, half of what gets fixed will get fixed badly, and half of what didn't need changing will get borked.

As for rules, it will be 1 page explaining a D6, and then 60 blank pages for you to write your own rules for the game so you can forge your own narrative with an ultimate freedom like never before.

I think, a new edition after less than 2 years would be suicidal to 40k and showing, how desperate GW is.
I have absolutely no confidence that a new edition would fix any of the current problems, as the same team of authors has just created those problems, e.g. pushing Apocalypse units down everyone's throat in normal games.

I think there's too many unknowns to say if it will be 'suicidal' yet. If it is really 6.5 with everything put together, I don't think it will be a big deal. If it fixes/faqs issues and makes things more cohesive, I think it will be well received.

If it is a whole new edition, it probably won't go well. Unless, of course, it is that crazy salty 40k/fantasy combo edition and then who knows.

Well, at least that would show their true colors instead of appealing to competitive just enough to keep them spending money.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Keep in mind that the starter set rumor is from Natfka. 40kradio, on the other hand, is pretty reliable.
