Somewhere in south-central England.

It's certainly to do with the discrepancy between square and round bases, but it has led GW into making a huge pig's ear of it all.

What was supposed to be a simple, light-hearted fun set of rules is starting to bog down with contradictory explanations that rely on rules points they haven't defined.

However I suspect most players will ignore or adapt these FAQs the same way as the original rules.

I'm writing a load of fiction. My latest story starts here... This is the index of all the stories...

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

You probably missed my post as it was the last one, but again, they are asking for feedback before they release the final versions, so if you see a problem, comment on the FB page. I've read through the FAQ twice and couldn't find any though so I'd be curious as to what you mean.

In this case GW asked the community for questions, and they have given answers.

I don't think the original rules were completely clear, and neither are these responses, but at least something is being done to address people's concerns.


and they are now taking one last round of feedback on if the rules are clear (not if you agree with them). That's pretty swell.

GW is changing its whole business culture because sales have started to drop. You can see it from the Start Collecting bundles to the new tone of the webstore blog to the reopening of social media to the bringing back of specialist games and to these FAQs. There's no need to colour it as a dishonest cash grab. GW is a very profitable company but it's growth has stagnated because the company has refused to innovate in many areas - with the new CEO that's changing.


Well said Bottle. That is what I was going to say but not exactly so nicely as you did.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?
