11:57 Next Beta Rules (Proposed by GW not official)
- Soup: No longer use Imperium, Chaos, Aeldari keywords to build your list. You can still include sisters of silence, assassins, units that may not have an HQ etc.. So “soup lists” look to now need to be made via separate detachments.
- First Turn (Alpha Stike): Fully half your army has to be on the table (deploy on the table) by power level, or unit number. if a unit comes in the first turn it must do so in your deployment zone. (some things like cult ambush exempt)
