USRs wouldn't add any depth to the core rules...

Not this bad take again. Let's go...

A, USRs would be defined at the start of an edition, so that certain rules have a standard set of wording and implementation. This wording could allow for wildcards for values, if you want some options for variation (like a Feel No Pain X+, where X is the value you have to roll to make the FNP save).
B, GW would need to demonstrate some discipline here - no USR should be there just to refer to a collection of other USRs, for example. I'd suggest 1-2 pages of them, unless you need to use diagrams to explain something in more detail. Assuming they can achieve that, you then reprint the full USR page(s) in each Codex as an appendix.
C, Assuming GW stick with the datasheet format the next time they reboot the game, if space on the datasheet permits then you print the full rules text of the USR there. No-one that I've seen advocating for USRs has ever said that can't happen. The point here is to reduce the number of rules which are very similar but not quite the same to be standardised instead, as well as allowing players to refer to the USR name as a shorthand when discussing units/factions.

Personally, I'd like to see this come into effect alongside a better use of keywords for weapons - having BOLT as a keyword, for example, would allow the Bolter Discipline to be written in a much more elegant fashion, as well as future-proofing it.

Maybe, in the grand scheme of things, that's not a horrendous issue for balance, but it does suck from an army-building perspective to have one or two good options and a bunch of crap that only the most casual of narrative players will use.

At least if they're tied to a points cost you have a reason to take the bad relic over the better alternatives.

If a relic is worth 11 points more than another relic then one of them needs a rule change IMO, if they're within 10 points of each other then you can pick the worse relic without feeling too bad about it because even if the power sword relic is superior to the power axe relic you're still getting a solid worthwhile buff when taking the power axe relic and it'll hopefully be better in some circumstances, like a souped up pistol would be better than a souped up armour if you're not getting attacked. Having relics where the main draw is "heck it's cheap might as well take it" I don't like, then they're not really relics anymore.

I don't think it adds anything to the experience. At first in 8th I thought the subtle buff from strats was alright but I called it that GW would ride that horse well past dead and most battles would become stratagem 2 electricboogaloo.

Now that we are in it ? No, I think the units complexity should be in their core rules not spread and sprinkled through out a million splat books filled with relics, strats, traits and free candy from the back of a creepy van.

Not only is it annoying, but way too heavy on those " Gotcha ! " moments that are so rife in other kinds of games. It isn't deep or immersive or nuanced, it's just a pain in the rear end. It's bloated, exhausting and annoying. This is just my opinion but really units are just about as bogged down with strats traits relics and auras as they were from their own rules back in 7th at this point.

GW got greedy, they dug too deep and released the Balrog of super bloat back onto us once more. They should have known better but all they could taste was that sweet nerd money.

I'm not sure this holds true. We would have gotten new codizes with a new edition anyway, regardless wether Stratagems would be a thing.

Online and offline the splat books don't seem to be very popular.

To be fair, having written a 'simplehammer' updated to a few old books you do get some quite long special rule columns as a result.

A simple (4e) beast of nurgle for example looks something like this:
▪ Daemon
▪ Mark of Nurgle
▪ Fearless
▪ Deepstrike
▪ Poison (4+)
▪ Feel No Pain (4+)
▪ Slow and Purposeful
▪ Invulnerable (5+)
▪ Eternal Warrior

It's quite a bit cleaner if Daemon(Nurgle) encompasses the mark, fearless, deepstrike, and eternal warrior rules.

I do agree relics should be paid for but restrictions should absolutely still be in place with regards to how many an army can take and what can take them. I don't ever want to get near 6th/7th where a Chapter Master could take 3 relics and become unkillable.


Yeah, I definitely don't want to see Relics removed from the game.

However, I think we badly need to go back to paying for relics with points. As it stands currently, every relic costs the same number of points and there's an arbitrary limit on how many you can take in your army. So whereas before you could stick a cheap relic on a character for a bit of fun, flavour or whatever, now there's no such thing as a cheap relic because they all cost the same number of points. Moreover, because of the arbitrary limit, taking what used to be 5pt pistols or 10pt minor artefacts now prevent you from taking other, much stronger artefacts on other characters.

I think this goes back to GW wanting to remove points altogether at the start of 8th and then changing their minds at the last minute (hence why every unit had a power level on its dataslate, whilst point costs were hastily jammed together into a table at the very end of each book). Since power levels don't allow for artefacts, they had to use CPs instead.


Everything in this game has to have a point value in my opinion. This goes for relics, warlord traits, as well as psychic powers. Mostly because none of those things are created equal.

I certainly wouldn't object to all those things each having costs.

The sad thing is, GW have even shown that they're capable of this. Even notwithstanding older editions, Necrons have Cryptek Arkana - which are effectively artefacts, except you pay for them with points rather than CP. Similarly, SoB have a selection of Master upgrades for characters that are also payed for with points.

I see no reason whatsoever why this system couldn't be extended to Warlord Traits, Artefacts and Psychic Powers.

I think that Warlord Traits and Psychic Powers should go back to random generation, that way there's no building a list/strategy around a Warlord Trait or Psychic Power. Keeping a specific set of Traits/Powers should be left to Crusade where the focus is on narrative.

Wouldn't that just add a massive level of "feels bad man" to that aspect of the game? "So glad I rolled the 'better in HTH combat' Warlord trait for my shooting army!" "Oh good, like Librarian got the power that has no place in my army!". I don't think players want to roll on random tables to determine whether or not their units will play a role in the battle this game.

BTs are about to get relics they can give squad leaders. In fact, a lot of recent books have added points-based character upgrades. TS and GKs did it in their books.

I'll disagree with you on having Daemon (Nurgle) in place of those four rules being cleaner - if you have to look away from the datasheet to a second source to find that D(N) covers four other rules but does nothing on its own, then you're adding cerebral load for no real benefit. If the datasheet is looking cluttered, you put the USR rather than the full rule.

Poison I'd've thought would be moved to whatever row on the datasheet covers the melee attacks, though, rather than as a unit-level rule, going with the 8th/9th templating.

List those abilities in alphabetical order. Yes, it's nitpicky but also much cleaner.

If you want to look up USRs of a unit without hassle in a rulebook it is better to turn pages in just one direction when you go from top to bottom. Honestly not a revolutionary concept.

To be clear, I 100% think that a proper implementation of USRs is beneficial for all of the reasons you posted.
I just do not think that that having the rules text printed in the rulebook as opposed to the data sheets (or ideally in both places!) is really "adding depth to the core game".
"Depth" in core rules would be like, "when a unit is being shot at, they can go to ground, becoming pinned but gaining +1 to saves". A USR might be printed in the core rulebook but it's not a "core rule" in that you need to grant that USR to a unit, in a codex, in order for that rule to have any impact.
At the end of the day, "Heavy Weapons Platform (see p 97, core rulebook)" and "This unit suffers no penalty for moving and firing a Heavy Weapon" are no different from each other.

I think it's a matter of degree.

I'm fine with Black Templars or White Scars being better at assault than Iron Hands or Imperial Fists. But should they be more than twice as good, when paying the same points costs? I don't think so.

Look at Orks, for example. Bad Moons get an extra 6" of range and another point of AP on 6s to-wound with ranged attacks. That's a nice little buff-but the only time it's gonna double damage is if you're shooting at a 2+ armor model who you only wound on 6s. It can happen (Land Raiders or Knights with a certain Relic, and basic shootas) but it's not something you'll see with any regularity, and moreover, while it is twice as effective... Needing over 100 shots to take a wound off is worse than needing over 50, but neither is ANY good.

It was more something I noticed with page layout, lots of empty space. I wound up moving non-rules (daemon, nurgle) to a keyword system instead.

But this is getting somewhat off topic.

In the current iteration some traits and powers are just too situational to be useful for any character and army.

A thought occurred to me when reading the new Black Templars rules previews. Please note, this is not a 'black templars op' thread, just pointing something out regarding how much of a unit's power budget currently resides within rules external to the model itself.

As an opponent of this particular player, there is a burden of knowledge on me that I need to recall that the offensive power of this particular unit among the 140 datasheets present within codex:Space Marines can augment its offensive power by a factor of more than 7 times from the statline present on the datasheet.

...Does this enhance your gaming experience?

If so, why? What are the positives for a miniatures game for there to be this degree of stat differentiation between what could actually be literally the same exact model fielded by the same opponent in two different sessions of play?


It does enhance my gaming experience as it adds more variety to the 40K tabletop ecosystem. I like that a unit of Black Templars Assault Intercessors acts differently than a unit of Dark Angels Assault Intercessors unit. I like that Deathwing Terminators perform differently than Black Templars ones.

Does it add to my "mental load?" Sure - I guess, but I find it manageable and the payoff in variety (for me and my opponent) is worth it. I know my list and choose what mental load to take on with my choices. I understand that some are really worried about "gotchas." If an enemy unit that I ignore turns out to be quite killy due to its sub-faction and Strats then I guess at worst I have learned something. A Squad of Sisters with Storm Bolters taught my Deathwing Knights about Blessed Bolts...Now I know!

I also understand that some folks might not like this. You can always choose to play a toned-down list. You can ask to play Open Play without Stratagem, doctrines, faction abilities etc. It can make playing in a tourney tough if you are a new player, but I think this would be true regardless.

I do not miss USRs, but I note that they have taken more of a middle-road in 9th Ed. Language is tighter/more similar between similar rules and they have Faction-wide Special Rules.

I enjoy Stratagems, but I do think that the "fight twice/shoot twice/inflict Mortal Wounds on a X" flavours of Stratagems could go. They have a warping effect on balance due to how they scale (or don't!).

I respect, though, that many Dakka posters will have differing tastes from me. Its all good. Perhaps the design wheel will turn and it will be me complaining (or just walking away).

You can even have "Character Upgrade points" to be different from "unit" points and give proper points to Relics/Warlord Traits/etc... that take points from that specific pool so people doesn't need to take less units.

Like if you play 1500 you have 150 CUP if you play 2000 you have 200 , etc...
