A community dedicated to the universe of Warhammer 40k, a tabletop setting in the far, distant future.
This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.
Rules
- Keep it civil.
- No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
- Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
- No political or social cause agenda pushing.

I'm proudly stuck in WH 3rd edition for model buying/painting reasons and so I don't have to keep earning scholerly degrees to learn new rule sets.
Also one page rules really revives your unsupported models.
I'll give another push for One Page Rules for anyone that has the option to switch.

I have played OPR before, but only the 40k variant and not the Killteam variant.
There are some things I love about it, but some other things that I found a bit too simplified and hurting immersion, e.g. WS and BS being the same on all units...
IIRC there is no shooting and melee-ing in the same activation, which makes the default Chaos 40k gear choices quite bad in OPR.
AND armies tend to be a lot smaller (which can also be good, I guess).
Yeah, they even 'cheated' WS and BS in certain armies with special rules for a unit shooting at a higher or lower quality than normal (e.g. Ork Boyz have quality 4+ but when shooting they have 5+).
With workarounds like that they should probably just differentiate the two.
@Marduk73 This is the way.
