Finally finished reading the 8th edition rule book (Mini from Blood Island). Took me about 2 weeks.
Now hopefully I can remeber it all! - I’ll have to read the book again to get the rules “etched” into my brain. - I also have to be as rules savvay and smart as my good friend Thommy H!
Anyone else notice the excessive spelling and grammer errors? I think GW rushed this one out before anyone could proof-read it.
Besides that though, I like what they did with the new spell lores and magic weapons as well as removing all the Guess Range weapons. Also, some of the rule adjustments make it easier to play the game.
I also like the jokes in the new book. A really great sense of humor to help explain what they’re talking about.
When we were still playing 7th, I read the 7th Edition book, but I always felt like I was missing information or simply didn’t understand what was written in it. The new 8th edition sure cleared up things.
If I get extra money again, I think I might buy the big rule book. A customer of mine bought one and it’s packed with a lot of extras!
I think they probably should have grouped things together better. Right now if you try and just flip through the book to figure out what the rules are for one situation you have to go to about 6 different pages none of which are going to be within 20 pages of each other. . . Its just a hassle.
I do appreciate the slightly more colloquial and flippant tone the rules take, actually. Reminds me of the Epic: 40,000 rules, which were like having a conversation with Andy Chambers and Jervis Johnson.
