    Feed back on changes to 40k rule set

    Hey all,

    Throwing some ideas around but wanted feedback on thoughts and changes for 7th edition 40k rule set. This is not for the local tournaments, I repeat not for local tournaments but for other GT's.


    Two levels of changes are introduced. Tier 1 which is considered the bare minimum change and Tier 2 change which are optional. Tier 2 changes will have their own flavor due to the local tournament but gives an idea of what should be considered when making the rules.

    Tier 1 changes
    • Invisibility –
    o Suggestions
     Remove the need to hit on 6’s or have it a negative to hit the unit including in melee
     Revert back to shroud and stealth.

     Other suggestions?
    • Malefic removal of powers or Daemonlogy
    o Remove Daemonlogy power
    o Upkeep on summon units
    o Look at adding summoning sickness or some type of limitations on Summoning
    • Psychic Phase cap limitation of dice – What scaling of powers should be casted for a power.
    o No cap depending on malefic removal of dice
    o 12 +d6 cap limit – Estimate 4 level 1 powers would be casted
    o 18+D6 Cap limit – Estimate 6 level 1 powers could be casted
    o 24+D6 cap limit – Estimate 9 level 1 powers could be casted
    • Deny the witch
    o Bonus or change to deny the witch mechanic to blessings only.
    o Difference in psyker level add +1
    o Adamantium will add +1 to deny the witch on blessing
    • Maelstrom mission card mechanic change
    o Add a mulligan mechanic
    o If player doesn’t possess units that are needed to secure the objective, discard objective card and pull an additional card.
    o Ability to discard one or two cards per turn
    • Reroll 2+ mechanic
    o 3+/3+ is the best roll you can achieve
    o Any reroll of a 2+ save afterwards turns into a 4+ save.

    Tier 2 - changes that can be done at the tournament themselves such as the tournament packet.
    • Force organization change – Can be done at each tournament themselves
    o What is a source?
    o Limits on Forge organization chart
     How many sources can you pull from?
    • Terrain rules
    o Tournaments describe area terrain
    o Terrain coverage rules
    o 25% terrain determination.
    • LOS rules
    o Can a foot anywhere on the model count as LOS? Change to line of sight to the models eyes.

    Changes that should be considered
    • Ignore cover
    o Change this to -2 to a cover save
    • Snap shot mechanic
    o Make this -2 to snap shots
    • Jink
    o Unable to Jink if not moved or immobilized.
    • Barrage
    o Barrage can now hit any floor anywhere – put limitations on it?
    • Hit and run
    o All models must have hit and run instead one model that possess hit and run gives it to a whole unit or IC’s cannot pass hit and run to a unit unless the whole unit has hit and run.

    Will clean up formatting of the bullet points soon.

    After reading this I have decided that the movie "Pineaple Express" should redo one of its quotes from:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Jude Law."

    To:

    "But if you do something heroic then you'll come back as like an eagle or a dragon, or Nick Rose."
