The biggest thing this calls me back to is the WH40K 3rd Edition, aka “The One with the Big, Self-Contained Rulebook.” I have a used, well-worn and well-loved copy of the 3e rulebook, and it is my gold standard for how to lay out a game rulebook both in terms of content (complete army lists for every army barring some Space Marine subfactions iirc, complete rules including scenarios and a surprisingly decent long-term campaign outline), as well as general layout (fantastic ratio of fluff and images to rules, knowing when to use art, model images, or just quote snippets). First, though, I should qualify what my assumptions are going off of: namely, that WH40K 8e will be akin to Age of Sigmar in terms of a very, very small primary ruleset, distinct unit datasheets with all special rules and such self-contained there, the rules and datasheets being free and comprehensive, and that per their FAQ comments, the game will release with point-balanced setup options in addition to freeform and “historical recreation” rules. I can’t tell if the mask on the left is a beakie style or not, but the right I believe is the new “Nurgle Deathguard” faction iircįrom the retrospective view, I think 8th will be fantastic from a casual gamer perspective.
