8th edition

8th Edition, I thought fantasy was perfect as it is, what would they change?

hahahahahahahahaha

"I have at my command an entire battle group of the imperial guard. Fifty regiments, including specialised drop troops, stealthers, mechanised formations, armoured companies, combat engineers and mobile artillery. Over half a million fighting men and thirty thousand tanks and artillery pieces are mine to command. Emporor show mercy on the fool that stands against me, for I shall not."

From Bells of Lost Souls site, looks like 8th edition is coming out in summer of next year. I wonder what they mean by "Upgrade" and pitched battles being a thing of the past. Maybe more objective based games like 40k?

From deep within the BoLS Lounge comes the following word:

"Not to drop a bomb or anything, but yes, 8th edition will be out next summer with a new boxed set in the fall. I�ve heard Empire vs. Orks in the box with a new O&G book out in Q1 2011. Plastic Empire Knights and Orc Boar boys will be in the new set I�ve heard. They keep one-upping themselves with the box sets so I would expect a mountain of amazing plastics in the new starter set.

However, I've said it over and over again that anything outside of six months is pure speculation. But there is certainly a plan for 2010 and it's going to be a great year for WHFB. It stands to reason that if we are getting Empire and Orcs in the box (I can confirm this with 99% certainty) then we will get revised army books for those two around the same time.

I'm hearing that 8th edition is a significant "upgrade" to the rules and those pitched battles will become a thing of the past. GW has said in several places that the plan is for WHFB to get a level of support rivalling 40k's. So "Legendary Battles", perhaps a Siege book with accompanying Castle kit? We�ve already seen a taste of some of the rules changes with the Skaven book (war machines and blast/template weapons...check it out!)."

Awesome TK 2010!

YESSSSS.... I hope they keep them unique and not make them into VC Eqyptian clones.

Yep. I'd rather keep any issuse in the 7th ed. book than run the risk of GW ****ing up whfb in the new book.

All they have to do is fix VC and DoC and the system would be in a much better place.
