Final Draft FAQ’s for EVERY Codex in 40k!

The final FAQ’s for Warhammer 40k are here! Games Workshop just dropped the Final Draft FAQ’s for every Codex in the 40k universe. Come take a look at what you need to know about your armies!

Great news gamers: the finalised official FAQs for every one of our Warhammer 40,000 codexes have just been released.

These Frequently Asked Questions cover a huge range of the most common queries or rules ambiguities, and we hope they are a great help in your games.

These FAQs have been approached in a new way that has taken a little longer than some of our previous FAQs, but we’ve tried to keep the process transparent and make sure that you gamers out there were involved every step of the way (which can be a tricky because there are tens of thousands of you!).

GW Reveals Gangs of Commorragh Gameplay!

Gangs of Commorragh is a brand new, fast playing, game from Games Workshop. Come check out this brief rundown on the game play.

Demo Game up now, I’ll report what I can as it goes on but may have to dive out early.

  • The board looks super sparse; like a 4×4 will just a black sheet or something over it, and about 6 bits of tiny card terrain.
  • Each players rolls an “event” before the game; Phil rolls 12 which signifies “Home territory”. This would be more significant in a campaign
  • You split your gang into murderpacks and send them out on missions; you then randomly select which of your packs you end up using in the game so don’t pack one side with all your good stuff.
  • “Ambush roll” is the first thing to determine who gets the advantage; numerically smaller gangs get +1 to their roll
  • They’re tracking the rolls for ambush; the difference between the rolls signifies what amount of maneuverability the ambushed gang has at the beginning of the game
  • The “ambushed” gang is deploying in the centre; the ambushing gang then deploys on a randomly determined side from them
  • Phils (ambushed) starter roll was 2 less than James’ (ambusher), so he gets to rotate up to 45 degrees with his guys before the game starts. if the roll was only 1 different, he could rotate up to 90 degrees

Wow what a weekend! Well this is going to be an exciting build up to the next installment of the Gathering Storm saga with all of these new miniatures,

Make sure you keep an eye out, as we will be posting our breakdowns of all the latest Gathering Storm II news that comes out CSI Robbie B style!
