Editing The End Times (section)

==Playing The End Times==
Each End Times release made sweeping changes to both the lore and rules of the game. 
The competitive scene were particularly divided at the time of release: the official Games Workshop stance was that the vanilla rules were acceptable although if a player was in possession of any End Times book, the changed rules took precedent. It was assumed that official GW events would use the End Times rules (though that was barely the case, as a [[Age of Sigmar|new setting and game soon replaced it]]). Non-official events shrugged and kept using the basic rules for the most part - the End Times books were expensive and unwieldy, and, [[Skub|if you ask some people]], filled with issues and inconsistencies.
 
Many players simply shrugged and used simple rules like "50% Lords and Heroes" which didn’t  require the purchase of anything and waited until 9th edition... Which, as you probably know, never happened.

If you got beaten over the head with a mallet and suddenly got the idea to play End Times nowadays... Well good luck at least. Most people have moved on to either [[Age of Sigmar]] or to one of the several fanmade Warhammer Fantasy rulesets, with none of them wishing to look back to these rules.
