The 8th Edition rulebook was succeeded in July 2020 with the release of the Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition Rulebook Warhammer Rulebook (7th Edition) The Warhammer Rulebook (8th Edition) contains all of the rules required to play the 8th Edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battles. I can certainly see the appeal but think that I will, for the most part, stick with the more granular points system as it is familiar to me and allows me to tailor my list with more detail.Warhammer 40,000 8th Edition Rulebook is the 8th rulebook for Warhammer 40,000 by Games Workshop.It continued the advancement in the timeline seen in the ending stages of the 7th Edition and the introduction of the Primaris Space Marines. This means you could build a list within a minute or two for those who just want to roll dice and slaughter their opponents without whipping out loads of pen and paper. For instance, a unit of 10 Poxwalkers costs 3 Power, should my opponent have units with the same Power (conveniently available on the datasheet for each unit) then we know those units are fairly similar in terms of effectiveness. Each unit has a Power Rating rating which is less granular and better for players who may just want to play as soon as possible. However, there’s the new Power Rating system. This is the comfortable and familiar system for most people who have played 40K for some years now be it in tournaments or friendly games with fellow-war gamers. Your typical and trusty battlefield roles remain (HQ, Troops, Fast Attack, etc) but points work a little differently now. Each model has a point cost based on what unit it represents, you then multiply this by the number of models in the squad and can then opt for wargear which will usually add to the tally. You start by naming your roster and determining the “type” in this case as stated it is a Patrol. Here you can see how your rosters could look in 8th Edition. Thankfully I was able to scramble together some information, enough to build a small list just shy of 500 points. This is for a smaller-sized game, requiring a core of one HQ and a single Troop choice, though it’s very likely you’d want to take a bit more than just that! Typically you could start at 1000 points but, of course, not all of the points costs are available just yet. It’s based on the “Patrol” detachment as shown in the Dark Eldar article linked previously.

If that’s news to you then feel free to check out our article here. I was curious and wanted to see how this all weighed up for another faction and figured a good starting point would be some of the new Death Guard models coming alongside the launch of 8th Edition. The Warhammer Community website already showed off some example rosters for Dark Eldar which can be found here. What better example to use than the disgusting new models from the Dark Imperium box set?
Or, dare I say, it could be both?! Let’s have a gander and see how roster/list-building will seem to work in Warhammer 40K 8th Edition.
Oh man, the air is getting heavy and the anticipation is thick! Either it’s the wait for 8th edition to drop or good ol’ Nurgle is making himself known.
