Editing Warhammer 40,000 6th edition (section)

==Major Updates==
With the new push for new specific units and special rules, here is a list for the returning player looking to gauge the game:
*'''Flyers''' - Every new Codex (except Sisters of Battle and Inquisition) has some form of flyer that feels overpowered (or as with Dark Angels, underpowered and worthless). Psychic shooting powers cannot hit flyers and a lot of abilities that can hit them are being errata'd to not be able to. So far the only thing that can hit flyers reliably are guns with Skyfire and other flyers.
*'''Monstrous Creatures''' - Since the inclusion of the Dreadknight for the Grey Knights, every Xenos army that hasn't had one has been given a Monstrous creature in 6th edition. Tau and Eldar have equivalents which, while badass, are a major point and money sink. The Eldar Wraithknight on release is over 70 quid/100 dollars/90 euros. Currently waiting for Ork Equivalent piloted by a Nob. While cool looking, most of the units are only good in Long Range or Melee against a single model. Swarming them can cause problems.
*'''No Author''' - In order to stop their writers from rage quitting, GW decided that instead of highlighting the writer for each codex that they will no longer have an author singled out. This can be seen as a good move and a bad. Good in that we no longer have a scapegoat to point at for ruining our favorite armies. Bad in that we no longer have a scapegoat to point to for ruining our favorite armies.
*'''Super Heavies''' - With the conception of Escalation and Codex: Imperial Knights, it is apparent that Super Heavies are slowly pollinating Warhammer 40k 6th edition. Rumors point to the next edition change to make the Escalation rules the Core rules. Whether this is a good or bad thing is up for debate as being able to field titans in 40k is awesome, but D-Weapons destroy everything. Shifting the focus from lets have our armies fight it out to have to kill the titan turn 1.
*'''Renaming''': Both Sisters of Battle and Imperial Guard have had their names change to their High Gothic ones. While Adepta Sororitas does sound less silly, there is no word on why the Imperial Guard are now called Astra Militarum.  Most think it's because after losing a few trademark law suits GW has decided to rename their more generic named factions so its easier to trademark (though they still have their "Space Marine" hard-on, when they could've changed them to "Adeptus Astartes" and TM'd that without incident).   
*'''Allies Codex''' - Seen more prominently with the Imperial Knights and Legion of the Damned Codex, there have been a few "Codex" designed around having allies. Essentially they are very limited or can't be used without an allied detachment backing them up. Legion of the Damned for instance has to arrive from reserves, since all of their units have this rule you will lose turn one for not having a single squad on the table. The main issue is that these Codex are called Codex when really they should be something else like Allies Supplement, because they aren't built to be standalone armies.
===Game Supplements===
*'''Apocalypse''' - Updated to 6th edition inclusion new battle formations and a couple new Super Heavies.

*'''Escalation:''' Adds [[Titans|Super-Heavy Vehicles]] to normal 40k, as an unique [[Horus Heresy|"Lords of War"]] Force Organisation slot. [[RAGE|No, it's not an expansion. It's part of regular 40k.]] Enjoy playing against an Eldar Renevant Titan with D-Weapons at 1000 points! Expect Tournaments to advertise that they exclude or include this.

*'''Stronghold Assault:''' Adds more Fortifications to the game. [[Rage|Still doesn't have any non-Imperial ones.]]

*'''Codex Supplements''' - Additions to existing codices that cost, as expected of GW, the same as regular codices. They won't add any new models to use, but they do give existing ones some extra rules or a couple neat Warlord Traits and relics.  As per the new Allies Matrix, a supplement-using army can ally with its parent codex as Battle-Brothers.

*'''Warzone Supplements''' - Another attempt to pluck your wallet clean of bills, are warzone supplements. Think of campaigns with special rules. Current campaigns present are ''Death from the Skies'',  which has a three-way with [[White Scars]], Orks, and Necrons (As well as some flyer-based missions), and ''Crusade of Fire'', where the Imperium, a Chaos legion and some Dark Eldar got into a major scrape-up.
*'''Apocalypse Warzone Supplements''' - Yep, the Apocalypse book gets its own set of supplements, called Warzones. It kicked off with ''Warzone Damnos'', a book of Ultramarine and Necron Apocalypse formations with some Inquisition in there somewhere; ''Warzone Pandorax'', which is the same, but with Grey Knights, Dark Angels, Chaos Space Marines, [[Awesome|and Catachan Jungle Fighters]]; ''Warzone Damocles'', with White Scars and Raven Guard up against Tau; and ''Warzone Valedor'' with Eldar and Dark Eldar against 'Nids (GASP:A 40K supplement that doesn't involve Space Marines!  It's about time a 40K faction got the limelight without having to share it with [[Space Marines]]). 

*'''Mini Lore Books''' - Penny pinching books on the iBook store. Essentially bits of lore that you can probaly find either in a codex or on a wiki site in a little one to five dollar book. Mostly comprised of diagrams of specific equipment associated with the topic at hand ([[Typhus]]' Blight Grenades, Jump Packs, [[Dante]]'s Power Axe, etc.) 

*'''Digital Codex''' - Love Sisters of Battle? Love the Inquisition? Well now you can love them more with new digital Codex, that will never be available in physical forms. Equivalent of White Dwarf Codex without the issue of not being able to find them.

*'''Dataslates''' - To cash in even more on the e-book craze, GeeDubs has made Dataslates, e-books that allow for the use of special characters ([[Cypher]], [[Be'lakor]]) or unique formations ([[Veteran Squad#Tyrannic War Veterans|Tyrannic War Veterans]], An Eldar detachment full of Wraith units, A Tau formation with Broadsides and a Riptide on top, a series of Tyranid formations).  Admittedly, the characters are rather nice, and the Formations are okay, though situational in use as they are non-FOC, but with hefty costs.
