With the new 40K rule book coming out in less than 2 weeks, there ideally should be a cut of point of when we say the old rules aren't being used any more, the question is when should that be. Personnaly I was thinking around August the 7th, its roughly 3 weeks after the new rules come out so that should have been enough time to buy and read the book. What ever date is chosen all the 40k players would have to change over at that date to maintain consistency. Any suggestions/comments?

Yeah, good point, I think that we should have like some "introductory" games, just so that we can get used to using the new rules.

Intro games would be a good idea.

How many have already ordered the book?

I should have mine on release day, so I'd be happy to give the new rules a test the following thurs (17th I think). I think many of us are already familiar with the major changes, so the switch may not be all that difficult for established players...

I have asked he who should not be named to order me one asap.

So so long as it doesn't end up in Matlock or the Outer Hebrides, I should have read it by the next time I make an appearance.

I presume I'll let Gary read it to!!!!




*** Don't forget the week after there is an update to the Appocalypse rule book. I've ordered one of those as well, (that's all my pocket money gone for this month - deep sigh!).

I'm waiting for Jason to get some in (hopefully he will be able to get it a couple of days early which is 10th), and yeah if I can come down of the 17th (depends when my mom or dad comes back home from work so that I don't have to babysit my little brother), I should be able to play with the new rules.
If the book don't come out early (I will be very upset), and I will try to get it before the 17th.
Also, I'll be on holiday for 3 weeks after the 17th, so don't worry if I don't turn up or I'm not on the forums, that will be the reason.
