The only downer about this release is the higher than expected cost of the new tiles. My tiles from the core box are kind of starting to show wear, and I haven't even played 4 games. The edges are starting to peel in the corners and they don't seem very tough or long lasting. So what was it, 40 usd for some friggin card?
Seems kind of ridiculous to me. Another issue is I hope they are packaged well cause if the carrier is rough then expect some kinked and bashed in edges and corners upon opening.
The quality of the tiles was a huge disappointment for me, particularly when compared with the other GW boardgames I've bought. I will not be getting any more, at least not sight unseen.

The new scenario "The Gauntlet" has some quite interesting changes:
-You get no XP for participating, meaning there is no bonus for weaker fighters (or Juves) for just taking part.
-The scenario gives +1 XP for taking an opposing fighter Out of Action. This is already standard rules regardlesss of which scenario is played, so this indicates that you get an additional XP for taking out an enemy on top of the +1XP for taking out a fighter as standard and +1 additional XP if the fighter taken out was a Champion or Leader.
-If you make some spectacular attack taking an enemy Out of Action (knocked into furnace or fan) you get an additional XP on top of that again, so for a Leader/Champion you could potentially get 4XP for a single attack.
-More steady income of reputation just for taking part (which is a good thing as reputation in the other scenarios are in a zero-sum state).
Was originally not interested in 2d tiles, but may purchase this one as it seems difficult to reproduce something similar in 3d (without building a bunch of specific terrain).

Good catch. Now the question is are they still poking fun or giving us a hint? Also anyone with eagle eyes able to spot anything interesting on Duncan's table?

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

For real. They would need an employee resetting that clock 24/7.
They should switch to a calendar already.

I like what I am seeing from this game mostly, but I can't stand the tiles. Are there rules on playing on an open table? Like in the previous editions?
I been saying that for months but no one listened, so Squats are now almost tied with SoB for recent releases well for now anyway
Your last point is especially laughable and comical, because not only the 7th ed Valkyrie shown dumber things (like being able to throw the troopers without parachutes out of its hatches, no harm done) - Irbis

Yeah, in the big book.
Or you could, you know. Google the previous edition of the rules. Aint nothing stopping you from just playing oldcromunda, its pretty easy to find on the internet.
"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Yep, 3D table rules are contained in the Gang War 1 book.

Holy gak they actually did it. They brought a squat back.

This was great. Had a dumb smile on my face the whole time. While I sincerly hope we never see Squat again in 40k, a Squat bounty hunter is great and very shadowrun like
