Goatboy Urges 3 Changes for Warhammer 40K 11th Edition Codexes

1 articles · Updated · BoLS · Jul 6

Summary

  • Three priorities top Goatboy’s wishlist for upcoming Warhammer 40K 11th Edition codexes: more support characters, cleaner detachment and DP costs, and fewer rerolls.
  • More leader options could make underused units viable, he argues, citing gaps such as World Eaters lacking a Terminator leader and calling for codexes to add more flexible heroic roles.
  • Detachment design also needs sharper tuning, with some 3-DP options cut to 2 DP so players can mix rules more freely and build armies around favored models and themes.
  • Rerolls should be scaled back to make misses matter again, he says, with tougher units and cleaner costing helping reduce the game’s current damage spikes.
  • The comments come ahead of the 11th Edition Ork codex, which he hopes will show how Games Workshop plans to shape army variety and overall rules balance.
