The official prices for 7th Edition have arrived.
These have been posted on http://astropate.blogspot.co.uk
Previous estimates provided for the 7th edition Psychic cards were a little high. They are £9 not £12. The others are as previously reported.
40k radio have gone on record that the contents of Dark Vengeance will not be changing! other than the rule book. It also appear this is hinted at in white dwarf. Looks like the rumour monkeys have been at it again. I hope the sites that originated these rumours will think better of trusting the same sources next time. ChapterMasters included.
We have real news from white dwarf. The 7th edition box of books will be retailing for €65 which should put it at £50, a £5 increase on 6th edition. The new mission cards are going to be €6.50\£5 and the new psychic cards are going to be €12/£10. An extrac of pages from the white dwarf preview and the a page from the new book have been posted here.
It also appears that battle brothers is now restricted to internal allegiances within chaos, imperial and Eldar forces e.g. Eldar allies with Dark Eldar is considered battle brothers, any other codex that is allied with Eldar is not counted as battle brothers.
The J man has spoken. Hear what Jervis has to say about the 7th edition of 40k on Games Workshop’s youtube channel below.
Note he said nothing about percentages!
And away from real news, the following rumours are also circulating on DakkaDakka, from the Overlords Podcast.
From a pretty reliable source who claims to have seen a copy of the rulebook for a good few minutes.
1. Consolidate in to combat is back
2. If a psyker fails to cast a psychic power they can’t cast for the remainer of the game
3. All units can score, but only those with Objective Secured can contest objectice held by other units with Objective Secured.
4. Unbound armies may not contest objectives
5. The book has rules for Lords of war but does not contact Escalation
6. Stronghold will also remain a separate book
7. Vehicles are getting tougher. The Vehicle damage chart is changing again.
8. There will be 3 books Art, Fluff and rules. The rules book is the same size a Codex Space Marines. Note nothing is said if this is 3 books, as previously rumoured, or if this is 3 separately available books.
9. Moving through difficult terrain will just reduce your units move by 2 inches
10. Wound allocation is changing – no details yet.
11. D-weapons will be tonned down a little. Possible a new table or invulnerable saves being allowed but nothing concrete is mentioned.
There you have it. If true I’m fairly happy with these changes. Although 6th edition had the least holes in it. I think it was possible the most boring, certainly it was the one I played the least.
