11 Things We “Know” About 11th Edition… Probably
The group chat’s been busy, the rumours are stacking up, and somehow we’ve ended up with a neat little list of “definitely maybe” features for 11th edition.
So naturally—we’re going through all of them.
In this episode:
- No objective markers? Terrain-based scoring and what that does to board control
- Charge changes: roll first, then pick your target (yes, really)
- Stratagems toned down—no more stacking buffs across phases
- Leaders always leading, even when they’re flying solo
- “Hidden” mechanics: 18” stealth bubbles and delayed engagement
- Fight First actually meaning fight first
- Disembarking straight into combat (because why not)
- Codex-first approach—no index reset this time around
- A 70 detachment modular system—flexibility or deathstar bingo?
- Narrative mission structure with both players influencing the game
- The launch box: Space Marines vs Orks, with a heavy nod to 2nd edition nostalgia
Why it matters:
There’s a clear theme here—less raw stacking, more positional play, and a suspicious number of mechanics that feel… familiar. Whether that’s refinement or a quiet return to older edition chaos is the real question.
