Female Space Marines

That would be nice.

11th will finally define what "Forward" means - in a game that lacks facings.

Ive heard that Chaos Daemons, Chaos Knights, Cypher/The Fallen and Cultists will all be folded into a single Imperial Agents style codex called: Agents of Chaos.

Sadly, only generic Chaos Space Marines will be able to ally with them.

It will be based on the direction of the foot, so every miniature has no way to misinterpret it, and every miniature will be 3 facing’s.

- As a response to Primarch sales figures, GW will switch armies to contain one (1) mandatory Primarch as its main component.
- Power Level having proven unsatisfactory due to still involving math, GW will remove points and PL entirely. Players will simply choose other units to accompany their Primarch.
- - All units will abide by the Rule of Three, with some rarer units having lower caps.
- - There will be a special side list of 15 summoned units to accommodate certain playstyles (mostly Daemons or Outflankers).
- - Additionally, players in tournament formats will be allowed a smaller "on-deck" list. Between matches, players will be able to freely swap units between the two lists, so long as the number of units in their main list remains the same (note that the removal of points/PL removes the need to recalculate the cost of a list).
- To ease the transition to this new system, units will also have fixed loadouts that cannot be altered for any reason. These loadouts may or may not correspond to what is available in any given box.
- Avoidance of negative play experiences is of the highest importance for GW. As such, the game will no longer be played on a board, but abstracted onto a mat. This will eliminate all those pesky arguments about whether units can see each other, move to a given location, what cover save should be granted, etc.
- Keeping track of stats is such a chore! In 11th, all non-Primarch unit stats will be boiled down to "Attack" and "Defense", with combat between individual units going to a straight comparison between the two.
- With the exception of their hitpoints, Primarchs will also have their stats removed, as their incomparable physiques and mental capabilities would be impossible to render via mere numbers.
- - Unless the Primarch is out of units on the mat, Primarchs will only be hurt by overflow damage from unit combat or by rare abilities that allow an enemy to attack the Primarch's hitpoints directly.
- If you can reduce your opponent's Primarch to zero hitpoints or fewer, their Primarch is killed sent to the Warp to recover, and you win the match!

#73 - Twelve new factions!
#74 - No, chaos cultists are not among them, stop asking
#75 - Dark Tau will be able to ally with Dark Eldar, Dark Mechanicus and Dark Angels but not Chaos Space Marines
#76 - Codex: Random Severed Limbs will become the most popular army in the game as players finally get to empty their bitz boxes.
#77 - Codex: Chaos Squats will finally bring the beloved faction back to 40k.
#78 - Half the World Eaters will defect and join the Imperium under Codex: World Regurgitators
#78 - Half the Blood Angels will defect and join Khorne under Codex: Blood Devils
#79 - Half the Thousand Sons will defect and join the Imperium under Codex: Thousand Daughters
#80 - Half the Black Templars will defect and join Slannesh under Codex: Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll

I’m going to choose to assume that the half of each faction that defects is the left hand side of each individual, so everyone with world eater, blood angel, black Templar or thousand son army will be forced to repaint all their models in a vertical half and half scheme to represent the new schism, on pain of pain.

And each turn the player rolls a dice to see which half of the model takes primacy, and therefore which stat line and special rules each model is subject to. Each model in a unit must take a separate test. Each half hates the other half, so the first target of any attack must be against the attacking model to represent the internal hatred of their very being.

It's hilarious how much of your original post is almost true

The beastsnagga boy with the mechanical leg that is carrying his torn off foot around as a trophy is now a game breaking powerful model.

My uneducated guesses:

11th will be fully compatible to 10th edition codices with minor errata

Initiative is back, but not in the way that anybody wanted. You roll 3d6 plus your units lowest initiative stat, and depending on the result units get the FIGHT FIRST, FIGHT SECOND, FIGHT LAST or FIGHT TWICE keyword until the end of the fight phase.

Pile-in and consolidate are gone
Instead, if unit is eligible to fight, every model in that unit wholly within 6" of an enemy unit that can trace a line to any part of an enemy model without going through more than one friendly model is allowed to make attacks

Battleshock can now trigger fight or flight reflexes depending on the unit. Flight units need to make fall back move as close as possible towards the closest of the following things: a unit with the SYNAPSE, BANNER or similar keyword, a battlefield edge, a FORTIFICATION or your WARLORD.
For fight units, if there is an enemy unit within 12" of them, they need to declare and resolve a charge against them immediately.
If there is no enemy unit within 12", they will shoot the closest enemy unit within sight and 24".
If there is no visible enemy unit within 24", they take d3 mortal wounds instead.
Battleshocked units cannot make any additional moves, are not eligible to shoot and cannot declare charges outside of their fight reflex. In the fight phase, they cannot fights first.

Weigh-ins will become a required component of every tournament. Models will be separated from their bases and weighed before the game. This will help ensure that no pesky 3D prints make it into the tabletop.


As a community response 3D prints will now come pre-hollowed with instructions to fill them with sand or any other small heavy particle that the customer can find.

#88 older players with pewter armies will be at a significant advantage, out weighed only by even older players with lead armies.

Now there are enough miniatures for them, there is going to be a new Codex for the new Space Marine faction: Primaris Lieutenants

Do we have enough of the right Lt models to use them in an Angels of Death KT under the current rules? Or the right kind of phobos ones for that KT?

You'll need to modify a Lt. model to carry a rifle, or find a Gravis Lt. with a Heavy Bolter to field an AoD Kill Team.

11th will bring back 90 degree forward facing arc, each miniature will only be able to shoot at targets they can see in their arc, and units can have individual models turn to face different directions to shoot different targets.

Sustained fire dice will be coming back to be rolled for all weapons that would normally fire more than one shot.

the 2 redacted legions will be revealed and one was a loyalist legion that was secretly in control of the mechanichus this whole time and they're super powerful and more stronger than all the grey knights and custodes combined, and the other legion is a traitor legion whose primarch was raised on a daemon world that was trapped in the warp and he goes around waking up necron tomb worlds for fun, and uses warp beacons to lead tyranid hive fleets where he wants, and uses eldar craftworlds like surfboards.

Wich STILL won't answer the question as far as aircraft are concerned. (the only unit type here in 10e that references a facing - in a game without rules/definitions for facings)

Aircraft will be removed at the beginning of 11th... and six months later it will be time their triumphant return in the Supplement: Burning Skies, where air craft becomes ridiculously overpowering and a must have for any list...

Until they all get placed into Legends right before 12th Edition.

You'll need to modify a Lt. model to carry a rifle, or find a Gravis Lt. with a Heavy Bolter to field an AoD Kill Team.

There are 2 or 3 characters with rifles you could use. One of the first LTs has an auto bolt rifle. The heavy bolter might need a bit of work, but you could probably sub in the Gravis captain.

GW decides to canonize the Dornian Heresy and does a massive crossover event where each legion has to fight itself.
