Change is often uncomfortable, and editions changes are even more so. 11th Edition has brought a lot of changes, both small and large, to Warhammer 40K, and most of them have been pretty well-received. That said, there are a few things that have brought a bit of extra friction to the game, had unexpected impacts, or just aren't quite working as anticipated. In this episode, we look at three particular pain points that impact the ar...

11th Edition was officially announced at Adepticon, but details on the rules changes are still sketchy - until now! In a seemingly-unlikely series of events, what appears to be a legitimate copy of the text of the next edition has made its way into our hands. With that, it's time to peel back the curtain and discover what changes are on the way for the next edition. We'd be fools not to give you the 4-1-1 on all the details, so str...
