There was a nice long list of 8th edition rumors that made their way to the interwebs last night. Come find out what was said about supposed new rules.
BoLS is reporting some very interesting post 8th edition release rumors that are worth taking a look at.
We’ve seen a lot of rules and previews put out by Games Workshop as of late… but remember these are just 100% rumors as sources above. 
These are all rumors, so make sure you add salt.
Industry professionals tell BoLS the following:
Look for a focus on the big villains of the Grimdark this year – Chaos and their struggle against he Imperium
GW is working to make Chaos return to their rightful place as the primary antagonists of the Grimdark.
GW is liking the 3-model “Triumvirate” sets, so look for these to return after 8th launches later this year.
Ranges mentioned for particular attention this year are:
- CSMs
- Astartes
- Ad Mech
There’s a lot of speculation going on with everything that is coming out about 8th edition, and now perhaps we’re going to start seeing more rumors popping up for after the release of 8th.
Again, these are just rumors … so readers beware.
The saltiest of seas…
