Tuxedo Jack posted:If the changes from 6th aren't that drastic and can be condensed into a few pages, I think our group might adopt 7th rules using our 6th Ed rulebooks. Save ourselves $85 for the books and just buy the cards. Yeah this is what my group is doing too, minus buying the cards. I kind of have no choice but to not play 7th at the moment; either that or play by myself.

Indolent Bastard posted:Even if the charge was roll 3D6 pick two, it wouldn't be so terrible. Here's how I house rule it atm, you can charge 2D6 or choose to charge 6", but you must choose which before rolling. Works fine for us.

Indolent Bastard posted:Any other house rules? Haven't really come up with anything solid or elegant yet. That's mainly because none of us put assault units in reserves. Probably because it sucks! If anyone wanted to try some deep striking assault units or something, I'd probably just say assaulting from reserves is A-ok! I feel like overwatch more than balances it out.

If you're going to plan on summoning daemons as an Eldar player, and you're not using squads of Epic scale Avatars to represent these daemons, then you hosed up.

Slimnoid posted:drat those women and their drama. What really gets my dander up is the way people like Slimnoid always twist the argument around so that everyone who disagrees with them is a horrible, sexist monster. The self-righteousness really aggravates me, especially when they're being so self-righteous over something that is so bleeding trivial. Playing Warhammer is not a human right. It's a thing one does when one is hanging out with one's mates. There's nothing wrong with hanging out with one's mates. And if you somehow change the gaming scene so it's not mostly composed of guys hanging out with their mates, then it's not like guys are going to stop hanging out with their mates with no women around. They'll just being doing it somewhere else, and doing something else that women aren't interested in, until people like Slimnoid take issue with that as well.

I can't believe people are actually getting mad about other people talking about writing house rules to play 40k. Edit: Can't we all just chill out a bit and enjoy talking about plastic spacemen together? 7th edition is tearing this family apart!

Sulecrist posted:So you can't Focus powers that are Warp Charge 1? You can focus a WC 1 power, but that drops you down to ML 1. Added that in there so you can't take loads of really cheap ML1 Psykers and just focus all the poo poo you want. They gotta be ML2 to even have the ability to focus. JerryLee posted:I'm guessing they meant equal or lesser. Also, it reads as though you give up all your rolls, even if you have 3 or more rolls, for one focused power. That seems a bit bad or at least a disincentive to take higher mastery levels; I'd prefer a clarification/modification to where you can trade rolls for focus at a 2:1 ratio and then take any rolls you haven't "spent" in this fashion. Yeah this is it. The intent is to let you pick a power you really want at a price, but if you want to take advantage of having more MLs then you gotta roll random dawg! Also it's cool don't mind criticism.  Might try that idea you posted, we just wanted something a bit more restrictive than 'pick whatever you want'.

Infinite Karma posted:If you make assault easier to get into, you need to make it less deadly/one-sided. For all everyone's bitching, they don't seem to mind when their 200 point lovely assault unit wipes out a 250 point shooting unit in one turn with no casualties. Not to be dismissive or anything, but I have literally never seen this happen once in 6th edition.

Toying with the idea of overwatch requiring the shooter to have an equal to or greater Initiative value than the assaulting unit. So like Fire Warriors could totally overwatch Ork Boys, but Banshees would gently caress them up. Thoughts, comments, suggestions?

Only the front rank being able to overwatch could help, and is ~~*thematically appropriate*~~. Or maybe D3 shots per so many models or something. Gonna test this poo poo out next saturday!

JerryLee posted:Yeah, these are all good points. I don't think that considering ways to cap/interact with overwatch can't be part of the puzzle, but it's probably not gonna do it by itself. Yeah exactly, incremental changes are definitely what I prefer. If you're going to start totally overhauling poo poo, then you might as well start from the ground up. (Nobody wants to do this.) Rulebook Heavily posted:The current mod actually encourages splitting discussion if it starts getting cluttered sometimes, so I dunno, it's not like we're not talking about 40k; sixth edition is still 40k, and house rules for 6th is still talking about 40k. It's not like this thread moves at a break neck speed or something...

ChrisAsmadi posted:There was a Movie Marines list in White Dwarf forever ago where the entire army was like, one Tactical Squad. Just occurred to me that you could put together a kinda-movie-marines list now using Unbound rules. Like you could have an army of nothing but Captains as Tactical Marines and Chapter Masters as Sergeants. Then you leave them all as independent characters and play MEGA KILL TEAM against your opponent.

Feel bad for you Jack, and those 'friends' sound like twats. The thing with house rules is they're supposed to benefit the WHOLE house, they aren't supposed to be rules aimed at loving one person over. Absolute twats, don't blame you for walking away.
