So, we have on our hands
a shiny new edition of the
game. It came fast on the
heels of 6th ed, which was
unexpected, but it incorporates all of the craziness
of December with Escalation,
Stronghold,
Dataslates and Formations
into the 6th ed core rules
with some FAQs thrown in
for good measure. The
game played on the tabletop is essentially the
same as it was. Rules mechanics wise, the Psychic
Phase is the only really big
change to how the game
plays. The really significant changes come in the
the pre-game of building
your army and deciding
what mission to play.
Here, the game changes
dramatically, however,
these are also the rules
most often changed by

Citizens on patrol
players so I look at
these with mixed feelings
as they will likely not be
used that frequently.
In all, 7th edition Warhammr 40K is extremely
close to 6th edition 40K. If
you liked 6th, you will like
7th as it essentially doubled down on the elements of 6th. You now
have even more freedom
to make whatever army
you like with the benefit
COME SEE OUR NEW WEBSITE.
As some of you might
have noticed the RIW
website is looking a little
more modern these days.
We are adding new features, such as forums,
and sprucing up old
links, like the calendar.
If you get a chance I
recommend you stop by
to check it out and be
sure to visit the forums.
of many rules tightened
up that were previously
ambiguous, and a lot of
changes to balance different unit types out. If you
didn’t like the freewheeling nature of 6th,
you will hate 7th as it
completely takes the lid
off and allows you to literally do whatever you
want. There is no structure to list building anymore which throws the
door wide for both thematic armies and abusive
armies. It is left to the
players to regulate themselves, for better or
worse.

“PLEASE SIR, CAN I HAVE SOME MORE?”
Magic The Gathering Pauper Style
Come out and play,
tell a buddy, bring a
friend.
RIW is pleased to announce
Pauper Magic Thursdays from
6:00p.m. to 9:00p.m. in the
Blue Room. Pauper is a Magic Online format in which all
cards used must have been
printed at the common rarity
in a Magic Online set or
product. Common promo
cards are only legal if the
card has been printed at the
common rarity in a set or
product. Other than that,
the usual rules for Constructed decks apply (a
minimum deck size of 60
cards in the main deck, an
optional 15-card sideboard, and so on). If a
common version of a particular card was ever released on Magic Online,
any versions of that card
printed at other rarities
are also legal in this format.
Your friendly neighborhood Gobo.
