Reading 7th Edition - The first few pages

Nick speaking,

OK, so there are three books as we all know, I had a flick through the fluff and hobby books, and to be honest, that's about it for me. The main rule book is all I am really interested in, and although I still feels like I paid for more than I wanted, it is a delight to finally have a manageable sized rule book again! I started off flicking around the book in excitement trying to get snip bits of rules, and I soon realised that there has been a lot of copy and pasting going on, even so, there is only one thing for it, I would just have to read it from the beginning, one page at a time...

Looking at the first few pages classed as 'general principles' and there is all the usual stuff with no change, except there is a new D66 in the book! Roll a D6 and count this result as tens, then roll a second D6 and count this as units, so a three and then a five, that's thirty five. Along side this, there is also an introduction to the larger apocalyptic templates etc. which is in line with how 40k is going to be from now on! Next is the turn pages, and yes, it's all the same except there is a new Psychic phase, this is indeed done after the movement phase and before the shooting phase!

So that's it for the first few pages, next up is the movement phase...
