10th Edition will be a mix of Rogue Trader’s various rule sets.

Players will be far, far too confused and baffled to be able to spare time to complain.

God i wish.

In the mean time : Theres OPR for me


Now how complicated can we get this...

So, initiative phase is IGOUGO to define initiative for each unit in each army.
Followed by movement phase where every unit has 2 movement actions that have to be spent on two different movement rates, based on colours and geometric shape categories.
Then we hit the psychology phase (stealing shamlessly from Abadabadoobadon) where its IGOUGO for each player to bid on a unit by unit basis against their cool, stupidity and morale values to decide what non-movement actions they want from a fixed pool of available actions. If there are more units than actions, then some just don't get to do anything! Take that Min-Max! If a unit runs out of cool, then they are destroyed. Units can never run out of stupidity.
Then based on initiative, each player gets to choose one unit at a time to undertake the aforesaid action, except that you can drop actions from higher initiative units to give to lower initiative units, but only on a IGOUGO basis.
Close combat phase - Charges are IGOUGO, then all attacks from everyone are rolled all at once and everything is hit simultaneously, except Eldar who counter intuitively go last, so can be wiped out before attacking.
Shooting phase - Players take turns on a model by model basis to fire everything in their army with a valid shoot action assigned, except Tau who fire everything all at once before anyone else gets a go. If its Tau versus Tau, fun times all round!
Psychic phase - If anything is still standing, then its back to IGOUGO for persistent psychic powers.
End phase - GW brand tissues are available to wipe the sweat off and to cry desperately into

if GW would use alternating unit activations, I am pretty sure that by 12th Edition everyone would complain that AA is the worst possible system for such a game and GW needs to switch to something else

in addition every other game that uses AA will be called bad simply because of how GW messed it up, as it happend with USRs and alternating turns/phases (which will be ironic because GW will call it AA but it won't be AA but a mix out of anything they found cool at the time)

I disagree. People would immediately complain after the first leak of any AA rules.

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.

That is because AA with a skirmish LoS and rules system, but played with a wargame number of models would be just as bad what we have now. And the chance that GW decides that in order to make the global player expiriance better they are writing to game in a way to be played with half the models, is never ever going to happen.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.

If it works for OPR / Legions / Apocalypse, it can work for 40k.

I don't know about the first two, but I do know apocalyps. And that one doesn't operate the way w40k does, by which I mean it does not work as if it was a skirmish system. Units are more like tokens, it is not the models that attack or shot the way it is in w40k, but rather the units. Same way with taking damage etc.

But if you think that after 10 editions you can convince GW to no longer pretend they are playing a table top version of an RPG, then why not. Sky is the limit then. Why not play w40k with d20s, more granular stats and fewer models. Would add more depth to the game and make more units viable. Why not, as this is the thread about the rumors that are made up.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.

I have no illusions of GW not fething up an AA system just as much as they fethed up their IGOUGO, but at least I won't doing nothing but removing models for half an hour straight.

well yes? Thats what i mean, obviously don't just change it from IGOUGO to AA with no extra changes (tho it does work, i've tried it before finding out about OPR)

Yeah, thats my opinion too. At least AA lets you play more of your models.

OK chaps and chapettes. The comment I made was intended as humour i.e. the reason why OP creates posts like this from time to time.

Let's respect the intent of the thread and if you want to discuss the viability or otherwise of AA in 40K then create a separate thread thingy.


Please note, for those of you who play Chaos Daemons as a faction the term "Daemon" is potentially offensive. Instead, please play codex "Chaos: Mortally Challenged". Thank you.

point is, 40k is already halfway thru the changes from alternating player turns to alternating activations
the times it was IGoUGo are long gone, they just still call the abomination that way instead of something made up

so if GW does not bother to do the extra work and make an IGoUGo System, why do you think the bother and do the extra work to make an Activation based system

i don't get what you're trying to say. Are you saying that 40k isnt IGOUGO?

the current rules have nothing from IGoUGo except the name and the basic idea that there are player turns

it is neither a proper IGoUGo system as it is an activation based system but a strange mix of everything that is around

the main problem is not what system is used, but it is not thought thru and other "cool ideas" were mixed in to improve it

I don't see how it isnt an IGOUGO system?

One player does everything they want in their turn with all their force, then the other does the same

With the speed GW puts forth changes, and how they would have to adjust armies and rules for them. With the most important thing being , for GW, not lowering the number of models needed to play. In order to have a different activation system in w40k, they would not only have to totaly reset the game, but also start working on it like an edition or more before that, while doing and still desiging books for the old system. The chance that GW would do both or either good, is extremly low. And what sense is there in changing one bad system for another one? So that one can live in hope that maybe in 2-3 editions GW is going to fix everything or somethings, expectations depending on how long someone plays w40k?

145 - After years of debate between fans of AA and IGOUGO, GW decides to square the circle. 10th edition games will use IGOUGO for odd numbered turns and AA for even numbered turns. The Big Rule Book will come in 2 volumes, Codex Odd Numbered Turns and Codex Even Numbered Turns.

146 - Due a typo in Index: This Will Be Out of Date In 6 Months (HC $75) Imperial Guard have a movement of 1" but 6 Wounds each. IG players will refuse to accept any so-called errata or FAQs as FAKE NEWS.

158-GW will finally weigh in on the long-running female space marine debate:

This is a creative game and always has been, have fun. Space Marines are toy soldiers and no more have a gender than a rock, a tree or a bridge.


159-GW's assertation that rocks, trees and bridges do not have an inherent gender will cause riots across France, Italy and Spain forcing GW to apologize to speakers of romance languages and categorically say that Space Marines are male.

160-Custodeus however are non-binary pansexuals and that is canon.

28 and 32 mm bases were a production error because of wrong imperial to metric calculations

in 10th it will be 20, 30 and 40mm bases for infantry (which units gets which size depends on melee attacks and is subject of change for further balance updates)
GW will sell upgrade packs of tactical rocks for those models that won't fit the new base size
