Warhammer 40,000 7th Edition is the newest edition of everybody's favourite wargame. It's basically an extension of the 3rd edition ruleset, as with every edition of the game since 3rd, and, more specifically, it's an extension of the 6th edition ruleset (which it replaced after only two years). Some rumours have suggested that the community should consider it "6th Revised" or "6.5," but Games Workshop stopped using edition numbers with 6th, so we'll probably never know.
It's launching May 24th, 2014.
Pics for proof: here and here.
It's very Warhammer Fantasy.
Confirmed features:
- They're not rewriting all the codexes they just wrote (Chaos Marines through Astra Militarum) because that would be stupid even for Games' Workshop.
- You can ignore the Force Org chart if you wish (Unbound army lists), but you get bonuses for using FOC (Battleforged army lists), although it's not clear what those bonuses will be
- Psychic Phase. It's pretty much the Magic Phase from Fantasy.
- Daemonology, which is split into Sanctic and Malefic. Malefic lets you summon Daemons as long as your name isn't Tyranids. Or Necrons. Or Tau. We don't know what Sanctic does, but it's probably just Theosophomy from Inquisitor (RPG).
- Escalation, Stronghold Assault, and that new Altar of War book are included in the new rulebook
Rumoured features:
- The Erratas and FAQ's from 6th will be in the rulebook somewhere
- Something about sideboards and being able to swap out parts of your army list at the start of the game (like in Warmachine), but the details were unclear and that was probably false.
- Starter box is Blood Angels versus Orks
- Or Imperial Guard versus Eldar. Details are a bit hazy.
