Some early thoughts on Wh40k 6th edition
After getting the new rulebook into my greedy fingers yesterday I just couldn´tt stop myself from reading through it over and over again.
It think it to be far too early for a fair detailed feedback but a first impression has definetely set itself:
In my humble opinion the changes in the ruleset could have been a little more courageous but I like most of them. Nevertheless it still feels rather like a facelifting than as a new nose ;-) Playing it several times will surely give a solid impression of the real extend and influence of those changes onto the gaming experience.
Concerning the background, fluff and hobby section it´s a great piece of work. Lovely artwork, some really cool fold-outs of marvellous apocalyptic game setting, and so on.
More than 450 pages full-colour in a hardback book. That´s massive. I´ve always been the kind of guy who prefers having small, lightweight rulebooks for the sake of gaming. So I hope they won´t wait too long with the Black Reach style mini rulebook gaming set...
If you already got your copy, let me know which change of rules YOU like most and why...
My judgement on the new rulebook now (this may still vary a little after some gaming sessions):
Quality of book and artwork: 5 of 5 stars
Ruleset: 4 of 5 stars
Practicability: 3 of 5 stars
