    Oh, and new 40k apparently 'end of the month', but no specific date given.

    Feels like a step backwords to Warhammer Fantasy (just with round bases...). We already got artifacts and more special rules for factions. If we would go back to points per models, the simplicity of calculating armylists disappears - just don´t like the direction adding more complexity.

    I didn't mind it.  Until Tzaangors.  Now everyone will take just the optimal max special weapons and that's that.

    I'm confident more than ever that they can handle such a transition.

    I think they'll keep the two separate. They're keeping granular in 40k because that's how 40k has always been.

    That's how Fantasy was, too though.  It sort of makes sense for a GHB2 launch and it solves some problems with some of the current scrolls (if done well).

  4. Ok here's a big one.

    The new 40K will have two points systems.  A power level type points for narrative and a more granular points for matched play.

    The indicated the 'power level' system is a lot like AoS meaning you're not paying for unit options.  This seems to indicate to me a possibility for more granular points in AoS for the future.

    As a random aside, my own prediction is that we may see a "tweak" to the AoS rules once the new 40k rules have been out a year or so.  I think most of us will admit that we've had a big leaning towards ranged armies recently and I think we'll see the 40k rules using a system more focused on ranged attacks which could work well in AoS.

    You may be on to something there, but armies like Bloodbound will always hold that back a bit.

    Also the bespoke rules for 40K was from GW so count on that.
