Nicer still is a small printed booklet that includes the entire core rules for the game, expanded slightly from the pdf version available for download on GW’s website.

Importantly, it also includes a series of 4 missions that ease you into playing Warhammer 40k, introducing you to all the basic concepts, including movement, shooting, and close combat. A “Read this first” book is included that gives some introductory information about the hobby, including assembly and painting information, as well as some background material about the universe and Space Marines and the Death Guard. Impressively, beneath all of these contents, there is a shrink-wrapped bundle of printed material, ensuring they are not too bent or damaged in transit. There is also a nice translucent plastic 6” ruler, along with a bag of 6 small six-sided dice, enough to play your first small games of Warhammer 40k. There are four small plastic sprues, two green and two blue, designating the different forces, along with a small bag of slotted bases for them. Opening it up, there is a sturdy cardboard tray that slides out (and serves as a piece of terrain when turned upside down), containing all the components of the box. I think you'll have fun with either game system to be honest.Upon first getting the First Strike box, you will notice that it is about the size of one of GW’s standard small boxes (like a Space Marine Tactical Squad), but it is far heavier. I also like the improved balance aspect of it. I like that infantry are viable, which in my opinion they definitely weren't in 7th. The game that I enjoy the most is 8th edition. Not sure if that has any bearing on your decision, but I thought it to be worth the mention. Many new units/monsters were introduced in 8th, and you'll have no use for them inn 7th unless you make custom rules or utilize them as proxies. 8th edition is a little more forgiving tactically than 7th and a bit more random.Īnother thing to consider is that there are a greater range of units available in 8th.
While there are definitely differences in the power level between army books in 8th edition, it is nowhere near as pronounced as in 7th. It is a good system, but there are a couple of army books that are extremely unfairly balanced (daemons being perhaps the worst offender). I started in 7th didn't get to play a lot of games. I've heard a fair bit of talk that 7th edition was more tactical, but 8th edition is superior in terms of balance. So what say you? which is the better edition and why? Also I know that the 8th edition argument also involves the awesomeness that are ripperdactyls and the hilarity of a giant dinosaur that shoots snakes at people, so let's base it on the merit of the rules themselves (and the balance therein) rather than what the lizards get in one over the other. Oldhammer is also not a thing in my town yet, so there is no set precedence there either. Player availability is less of an issue for me, as I also have a small (1200pts or so without upgrades) empire force to face off against for any victims that wish to join me. I was just wondering what you guys thought of the various pros and cons for each of these editions. I have heard a lot of negativity surrounding 8th, and don't like some of the rules I have read (wonky skirmisher formations that are probably a pain to move without a special tray, and TLOS being the two culprits that come to mind), but other things seem good to me. Now my dilemma is whether I play with 7th edition rules or 8th edition rules. Now, I do want to play fantasy proper again and have rebased everything to that end. I used to play lizards in 7th and had great fun doing so, but never got around to 8th, as Flames of War took over for me and I fell out of the GW hobby. So, the local store has gotten into Sigmar (yes, I know, the horror! the horror!) and I find that while I enjoy it, it doesn't scratch the itch that was satisfied by my time in the good old days with my old lizardmen army ( I now am on the 2nd one, the first having been lost to the ages of time).
