Games Workshop has launched the 10th edition rules for Warhammer 40,000 with a new boxed set, Warhammer 40,000: Leviathan, which includes 72 miniatures and a well-annotated 330-page rulebook. The new edition rules are simpler and easier to use than ever before, and the new "flagship" format called Combat Patrol is a faster style of play that uses smaller, preconstructed collections of miniatures. The launch of these free rules and Combat Patrol makes the game more accessible to more potential players. However, Games Workshop's more subtle marketing decisions, such as not revealing the price of the boxed set, and depersonalizing the brand by not allowing employees to show their faces on camera, have left some fans and critics feeling alienated.
Games Workshop has answered some questions about the upcoming Warhammer 40K 10th Edition. The new edition is a complete revision of the game, but it will still feel familiar. The game will be quicker to play with consolidated rules, and new players can start with the Combat Patrol mode. The game will be balanced, and miniatures will be compatible, but codexes will not. Universal Special Rules are returning, and vehicle and monster profiles will still degrade as they take damage. The new edition will be available this summer.
Games Workshop has announced the 10th edition of Warhammer 40,000, featuring streamlined rules and a new format called Combat Patrol, which uses pre-constructed boxes of miniatures as a balanced fighting force. The new edition will use a "datasheet" system to contain all the rules needed to run a single unit of miniatures, and Universal Special Rules will be reintroduced to the format. The Arks of Omen series of books will introduce a new way to play called Boarding Action, which is compatible with both editions of the game. The 10th edition is set to release this summer.
