Is GW digging a hole?

What does the past show us about future releases?

That's a long way down.

I read an article over on BoLS this morning about the pace of releases and how it's hard for players to know the rules with so many new releases. I think there was a lot of merit to the assessment and one of the better articles BoLS has put out recently.

Warhammer 40k 8th Edition?

An Unusual Change

For the longest time, the discussion in the community was how every newly released Codex was being toned down. I heard over and over among friends and online boards, "You wanted balance, this is the cost!" That cost was being defined as special rules only deriving from the Big Rule Book.

Flavor was found in the supplements and expansions that were released as companions to the Codex. Formations and unique detachments brought special point-tax free rules to go along with building your army. If you wanted an edge, you needed to follow these new army structures.

Eldar and Destroyer Weapons

Destroyer Weapons in 7th Edition 40k

As of this mid April morning in 2015, the game of Warhammer 40k is changing rapidly. There is a wildfire of unrest spreading through the community over Eldar getting access to "D" weapons or Destroyer Weapons in this new codex. Now that we will be seeing them in prevalence I think it's time we discuss what Destroyer weapons do to the game.

So THAT'S how it's done...
