738-Yes the Org chart is back but in a new simplified form!
739-Three categories, 0-6 CANNON FODDER (IE Imperial Guard squads, Eldar Guardians, Kasrkin, Tactical Marines, Leman Russ Tanks), 0-6 AWESOME SAUCE (IE Terminators, Rogal Dorn Tanks, Greater Demons), 0-1 PURE VELVEETA CHEESE (Baneblade, Imperial Knight, Primarch)
740-The new CINEMATIC AWESOMENESS ENGAGEMENT RULES mean that AWESOME SAUCE and PURE VELVEETA CHEESE units cannot engage each other until all the CANNON FODDER are dead. This ensures every army gets a chance to wade through dozens of weak mooks and feel cool before the real fighting starts.
741-New units will always be classed as AWESOME SAUCE if not PURE VELVEETA CHEESE for the first 6 months before being Nerfed and converted to CANNON FODDER

11th edition brings in larger squads, and an innovative new square base format, allowing you to position your models closely together in unique "rank" format. Units attacking from the flank or rear get bonuses to combat resolution.

Larger ballistic weapons will no longer use ballistic skill to generate hits, but will move to an totally new and never before seen system by which a special "not hitting the point you thought" dice is rolled alongside "bigger weapon" dice to see how far away from the target point the shot lands. Sometimes shots might even bounce.

I head they are going to a full living rulebook. So it will be updated constantly.

But it’s going to be living like a cat lives. So wild zoomies at random intervals, and down and inaccessible napping for like 22 hours out of the day.

Allowing GW to embrace new marketing "A Rulebook is for Life not just an Edition"

Rulebooks will come with a starter pack containing a regular guidebook on how to care for your new rulebook; 2 months of Rulebook Feed and a rule-a-scoop for scooping up little rule messes in public.

763-10th Edition army books will be fully compatible with 11th
764-In fact all prior codexes will be compatible!
765-You want 3.5 chaos marines with 5th edition demons and RT era mutants rolling on the d1000 table you got them!
766-the rules mean nothing! Just push the models around going pew-pew! Make explosion noises! Say "I killed you!" And "No I killed you first!" Capture that youthful spirit of toy soldiers!
767-all that being said the rule book still costs $100

768 - In response to criticism that new/more expensive/newer models seem to get better rules, GW have decided to lean into that. Unit rules are now directly tied to the cost of the models.

769 - Following the success of the Balance Updates, the decision has been made to roll these out to the rest of the business:

Expect the first wave of Black Library balance updates to come out in early 2027, expect a buff to Eldar

Nuln Oil is also expected to be nerfed

770 - Continuing the wave of brand synergy that resulted in renaming Games Workshop stores to Warhammer, and Citadel Paints to Warhammer Paints, all GW staff will be required to change their first names to "Warhammer <Previous first name>". The number of "Warhammer Daves" is predicted to be in the millions

So, I guess we now can start figuring out who accidentally made up a real rumor

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
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 actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
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.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

In typical GW quality control, there will actually be one word changed in the entire ruleset due to an unnoticed autocorrect when they copy and paste their scanned copy of Dave's 2nd ed rulebook into their text editor.

This small change will rules as written make huge swathes of the ruleset nonfunctional, and will only be picked up by a single user in a YMDC subforum who will promptly be banned for pointing it out and insisting on applying the rules as they are written.

Even though your codex still works, GW is releasing updated codicies anyways, just to steal a little more money from you...

Ohhh, they have a QR code in the back of the book that links you to the FAQ!
