Warhammer 7th Edition Rumors

[Benjamin]

It's never too soon to start looking ahead. Let's put all these rumors into one thread.

Deployment

• All Out War - Place all models wherever you want. Take turns doing so, if you feel like it.
• Deep Striking will now result in an automatic loss.

Mission Types

• Roll Dice! - Whoever rolls the most dice wins. Except Orks.
• Gas Attack - First player to take a shower, loses.

Movement

• Infantry models can move 6-ish inches, depending on how much of a dick you are.
• Jetpacks will allow you to win the game. If two players bring jetpack units, it's a draw, unless one of them is Orks, who lose.
• Bikers can pull off "sweet jumps" and fly over enemies, attacking them along the way.

Vehicles

• Every vehicle is a Fast Skimmer with a Dozer Blade, Quantum Shielding, infinite hull points and lots of guns. Everything is now the best thing ever.
• Flyers will still be good, but superceded by large spaceships. Looks like you're losing? Glass the table with those models hovering 20 feet above your head!

Shooting

• Models will not be allowed saves of any kind. Every weapon is BS 10 and wounds on 2+.
• Lightning claws, which can now shoot for some reason, re-roll to wound.

Assault

• Assaults will not be allowed in 7th Edition. The Assault Phase will be replaced by a second Shooting Phase.

Allies

• Choose whichever models you want to play. Put them all in the same squad, even if they're from different codices. A squad of Orks and Plaguebearers led by Saint Celestine? Legit, bro!

Tidbits

• Whirlwinds are still going to inexplicably terrible. To reflect this, every army must take a Whirlwind. Also, the price of each Whirlwind will be increased to $75 USD.

I have heard the white scars (being the most asian) are getting a new named librarian: Ryu. He has Hadoken which lets you win your current game plus the next game you play.

Ryu + "sweet jumps" = hax

Also noteworthy, Night Vision is going to be a legit thing.

That seems a little low.
