Is 40k getting a new edition? It’s been a crazy ride today, but it’s far from over. Checkout what the rumormongers are saying about the next edition of 40k!

TWO big sources are saying the following:

BoLS has been informed by Mikhael the following:

Games Workshop will release a new streamlined 40k Edition in Autumn.

Expect 40k to have a shake up later in the year!
“It won’t be as drastic as Warhammer, but it will be quite a change.”
More stream lined and easier to pick…’and’I was talking to Ally Morrison and Andy Dunn (They were near the entrance) I know Andy from a while back and during our chat 40k came up…
Well, about how cumbersome it’s become.
Any way.
He said the quote above….

Well its been two years this month since 7th Edition dropped. But with the amount of supplements out there, and rules synergy I would be VERY suprised if any new edition of 40k took a huge hit to the rules.

If anything I could see them making it “less clunky” and more “streamlined” but fundamentally the same rules wise.  Would you jump into 40k from scratch with the way it is now? I can’t say 14 year old Rob Baer would, so maybe that is the aim of any tweeks to the core rules after all.
