As someone getting back into the game after a 20yr hiatus I can see why they're doing this, but also remember enjoying the process of tweaking my list more finely back in 3rd Ed.
I have to imagine most folks will do points per model outside of tournament play, so that'll help make things a bit different. With war gear free that also means you'd take 2x squads of 5 over 1x of 10 if that means e.g. you get 2 special weapons for free... I wonder if they'll find problems with this and backtrack it halfway through the edition or smthg.
I got into things again after not playing since 3rd, I looked at the 9th rules and just thought nah.
Managed to get every single 3rd edition book from various places over the course of a year for not a lot of money. (My best deal was a mint condition 3rd rulebook with slipcase for 8 quid). I also found it really easy to convince people to give it a go and they loved it, they were particularly amazed that the rulebook has the army lists included, so you really only need that to play.
3rd edition is best edition for a fun game!
Interesting! I'll have to dig through my boxes and see if I can find those 3e books... :)
Yeah it would be super easy to add points for certain obviously unbalanced options (such as those that are take x or nothing). It's almost like they've deliberately designed it so they can make that sort of change. Fingers crossed.
