A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.
This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.
Rules
- Keep it civil.
- No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
- Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
- No political or social cause agenda pushing.

As someone getting back into the game after a 20yr hiatus I can see why they're doing this, but also remember enjoying the process of tweaking my list more finely back in 3rd Ed.
I have to imagine most folks will do points per model outside of tournament play, so that'll help make things a bit different. With war gear free that also means you'd take 2x squads of 5 over 1x of 10 if that means e.g. you get 2 special weapons for free... I wonder if they'll find problems with this and backtrack it halfway through the edition or smthg.
Yeah it would be super easy to add points for certain obviously unbalanced options (such as those that are take x or nothing). It's almost like they've deliberately designed it so they can make that sort of change. Fingers crossed.
