And they represent the features of the unit really great.

Also, there’s a nice description of how they work. (We are moving in that direction, right?) All special rules are presented at the unit’s page.

The solution is quite simple and it’s already working in the Age of Sigmar. This leads us to the next problem – the balance. As a result – all new books are much stronger that previous ones.

Standard rules, plus 1-2 unique for each unit, plus unique rules for the detachment, plus formations. Then, this tendency changed in the opposite way – all codex, starting with Mechanicum and Eldar had as many special rules, as it was possible. Maybe, more effective, but far less interesting. Also, it greatly represented the concept of Dark Eldar army. This made you maneuver and think hard about the positioning of your transports. For example, Night Shields used to reduce the shooting distance for units targeting the boat with them. This is extremely actual for the Dark Eldar. Second, all the interesting rules, which couldn’t be changed were simply removed. Well, the output is the same, but it has completely killed the roleplay and the interest. Instead of the description of wild fury, with has risen in the hero, who’s family was killed by Chaos, which makes him hate all daemons and re-roll to hit in close combat, there’s a simple Hatred special rule in his profile.

You need to find unit’s page, look at the rules list, open the Rulebook, find those special rules, understand, how they all work together. Sure, it’s not a problem for the experienced players, who know all of them by heart. Warhammer has been always reach with different special rules – complementing, clarifying and copying each other. Note that the author’s point of view may differ from yours, and it’s totally Ok. Today we’ll talk about the problems of the modern Warhammer 40K and the reasons to wait for the new edition. Besides, they say that all special rules and weapon features will now live in the units’ warscrolls, just like they do in AoS.

The rumor has it that the rules will become more simple, however not that simple, as in Age of Sigmar. Some are waiting for it impatiently, some are afraid of it. It’s not a secret that the 8 th edition of our favorite Warhammer 40K is supposed to be released this summer.
