They aren't even calling it 7th edition. It's just Warhammer 40,000.

Really hope this is true and they're rebooting it so it's not just early-90s/late-80s gritty, but also Game of Thrones gritty.

The 40k community really loved that thing (its a poignant message about the grim and gruesome reality of war) so I think they're ready to see it in the official canon.

it's warhammer so the men are obviously really big and the tank is actualy 5 miles long because it's dark and gritty that way

Yes the rules will slightly change so you must buy another 100 bucks worth of stuff from our model place. Also we'll release rules for uber battles so they will be easier to manage and you can buy even more things.


40k and fantasy were fun games but half the people playing them were so broken it was hard to watch them toss their life savings into a completely new marine army because the old one just "didn't look right".


Everyone always went for the stupid superhuman army anyway.

"Captain, why do you have your sword out?"

"This is a space-sword, private. It can cut through space-armor. If the space-Orcs or the space-Elves want to close in and and get space-medieval on us, none of our guns will stop 'em in time."

"Captain, why don't the rest of us have swords, then?"

"Shut the hell up and aim your gun lower."

the secret to warhammer is that you can do whatever you like because memorizing a big dumb rulebook is hella dumb and it's more important that everyone has fun :)

no the most important rule of warhammer is to avoid people who have anything to do with warhammer. it's basically mlp except trying to be really manly instead of really girly but in the end you've still got a shelf full of loving mini figures so it doesn't loving matter which side you pick
