Cat
Price: Event horizon (made for narrative games)
FO: HQ
Type: Gargantuan Monstrous Creature
Fluff: BEHOLD! The might of the cat is truly awe inspiring!

WS-10 BS-5 S-D T-10 W-100 I-10 A-d6 Ld-10 Sv-2+/2++

Wargear:
Claws, teeth, and tail

Special Rules:
Eternal Warrior
It will not Die (2+)
The fury of the cat: If the cat is harmed during the battle, the units that harm it are consumed by the warp never to be seen again and the gamer automatically loses
Defiant Streak: No foe can survive its might. Any model knocked over by its movement phase instantly dies with no save allowed
Paw steps: Movement is determined by a special d100.

Also: Deepstrike - arrives from any furniture higher than the table.

You guys better be careful with these suggestions, if GW reads them we might get the most playable edition of 40k yet.

Naw. These are completely false. A realistic one would be this: FMC are required to have two models. One for stationary and one for when they are actually flying.

Makes sense from a look wise style but would be cheap forcing one to buy two models to play a single unit. Now that I could see them doing

Mandrakes will be useful.

There is no 7th edition, in fact the reason why GW is pulling the rulebooks and models is that they finally realised what their problem was. All of the veterans and hardcore 40k gamers, so to solve this they are squatting 40k and instead focusing on Warhammer Fantasy.

As well as not being able to ally with anyone. Nids can never ever double FOC up.

The poor editing of Gw products continues. The casual zealots insist that the line 'No GW models allowed on the table' is a typo and drivel on about the writers intentions - Debate over allowing FW on this topic sees many get lifetime bans from Dakka!

Squats are back - with mediocre rules.

After deployment if you play CSM, roll a dice on a 1+ you win the game 14-0

They will finally make Matt ward into a model and we will be able to take him in every army as a HQ choice. hes 666pts no upgrades and if you take him the games over also he can be allied in and we can get a double ward victory Because lets face it. matt wards not one-a of a kind

What's with the ward jokes, is this 5th edition still?

I mean what with the top codexs being made by Kelly and Vetock.

The last one which was blatantly designed for 6th edition from the get go and largely was built upon a list of flierspam in an era where solutions to fliers was rare. Going to add ot this fun though! Kelly's stats are all random! Rando mattacks, random warlord traits, has psyker spells to be random, random movements, random number of attacks and shots. Everything random! Vettock's is a riptide with EW and all the buffmander abilities I suppose? Not as much on him.

Top tier?

Lets see..

Chaos daemons (kelly)
Tau (vetock)
Eldar (kelly)
Space Marines gravstar (cruddence).

With necrons coming in quite a bit after that.

Of course there's only five 5th editions left, with GK being okay, BA being crap, necrons doing okay.

With Space wolves lower tier (kelly), and Dark Eldar being required in several Eldar Deathstar builds (kelly)

All armies are split into divisions. Each division consists of 3-5 units, and must have an HQ.

The HQ issues orders to it's division at the beginning of each phase. Then you roll a D6 ti determine if and to what degree each unit follow your orders.

Last i checked eldar,tau,space marines,demons chaos and chaos sm are 6th ed dexs.

7th edition will be released as a series of dataslates instead of a BRB.

What Zebio meant was that there isn't a 5th edition codex that is top tier anymore. Necrons are good but not a top tier beast anymore and the only real consistent top tier force is DE but they are used for Eldar Deathstars.

Want to know the rules for assault? You'll need to buy a dataslate!

Intelligence coolness and willpower stats and tests are back!

Stealer cults are in, allying with everyone except.............

The grim dark future is finally going to give way to a more civilized time. The game will change to center around political struggle and intrigue to capitalize on the popularity of the Game of Thrones genre.

The new edition will play like Necromunda but with a LOT more models.

The rulebook will contain rules, and nothing but rules. Fluff, background, art, painting, etc will all go in a separate publication so as to save expense to those that want to actually play the game.

Assault distance will now be rolled with 2d100, allowing you to declare a charge from a full 16 feet away.

Imagine how much worse you'll feel when the charge distance comes up as 2 after that change

are we thinking the GW way though? Gw way is lets put as much paper and pretty pictures into the book and sell it at the highest possible price!
cant piece apart the book because people will only end up buying the rules! make them spend money for ALL of it!

On the day of release the Rulebook will have a FAQ that clears up several very vague and very critical rules. This FAQ will be available as a dataslate for about $25.

1. USR Brotherhood of Psykers: May optionally be followed by a number N. For every N psykers in the unit, the unit will generate 1 additional warp charge. If N is unspecified, its value will be 3. E.g. A unit with Brotherhood of Psykers (3) and 2 models will generate 1 warp charge, with 3 models it will generate 2 warp charges, etc.

2. Blast/Barrage Weapons: Now rule has the form [Large/Small] Blast/Barrage [Direct Hits, Area Hits]. E.g. Large Blast 3, 1. To fire a blast weapon, place the center of the template over a targetted model and roll to scatter. On a scatter roll of "Hit!", the model under the center receives a number of hits equal to the "Direct Hits" value, other models under the template receive a number of hits equal to the "Area Hits" value. On any other scatter roll, models under any part of the template suffer a number of hits equal to the "Area Hits" value. If any model suffers more unsaved wounds than it has remaining, those excess wounds are lost.

3. Overwatch: When a charge is declared against a unit, the unit may opt to take an initiative test. If the initiative test passes, the unit make immediately make a shooting attack against the charging unit using a ballistic skill 2 less than normal, to a minimum of 1.

4. Vehicles: Vehicles follow the normal rules for rolling wounds. Vehicles use a toughness value (equal to their AV) depending on the vehicle facing to which the attack is made. Vehicles suffer additional effects from the vehicle damage table when they suffer an unsaved wound.

5. Poison: Poison does not work against models with the Vehicle type.

6. Extra Armour: When suffering an unsaved wound, roll one dice an on a 5+, the vehicle does not suffer an additional effect form the vehicle damage table.

Matt Ward has spent the last few months barricaded in his office typing nonstop at over 120 words per minute. 7th edition is over 10,000 pages long and requires the purchase of a Citadel magnifying glass.

FTFY.

7th edition will be using all of the rules for 2nd edition.

Including Terminators have a 3+ save on 2D6.

In keeping with death star 40k, there will be a way to make this re-rollable and have FNP on top of it.

Because having a two in 36^2*3 chance of actually having a wound stick is fair.

I dunno... those rules seem entirely too reasonable and well thought out to have any hope of showing up in 7th Ed.

There are no rules - the game is now entirely narrative

I liked the pistols in CC rumour. Seraphim gain two double inferno pistols per five models and Sisters of Battle rapidly become top-tier after the intro of Seraphim-as-Troops from Celestine.
