7th Edition 40K Rules Analysis Part 2

Greetings ladies and gentlemen, my name is Learn2Eel from Imperator Guides and today I want to bring you another look at the core rule changes for 7th Edition Warhammer 40,0000! Instead of focusing on psykers or any other specific section of the rules, I wanted to cover as many major and minor rule changes from 6th Edition and their potential effects in games. A note that I will not be directly quoting any rules and will thus assume that you as a viewer have your own rulebook or necessary information for my thoughts to form coherently. With that said, I hope you enjoy this article!
This is Part Two of the Rules Analysis series.

E3 Press Conference Round-Ups

Hey guys, Learn2Eel here with another quick update. Tomorrow I'll be putting up the second article in my "7th Edition Rules Analysis" mini-series, as usual - I'm trying to get back into more regular posts lately. With that in mind, I'll also be staying up for Microsoft's E3 Conference and subsequently waking up early the next morning to watch Sony's E3 Conference, both live. While I don't think Blogger is really suited to a constant update kind of post, I will be doing some reviews/round-ups of all the stuff that happened in each conference and providing a summary of all the important announcements.

I've always been incredibly passionate about video games and I feel Imperator Guides has more to offer than just hobby-related articles. If you guys like the video-game oriented posts I'll keep them going, but if not then hey, there's nothing wrong with some experimenting, right? Anyway, I hope you all have a great day and I hope you have enjoyed my 7th Edition 40K articles. Eel out!

Watch Dogs Review

Hello there everyone, I'm Learn2Eel and today I wanted to talk about a game that has been among my most anticipated releases since it was first unveiled back in June 2012. I am of course referring to Ubisofts' Watch Dogs, an open world game inspired by famous series' such as Grand Theft Auto and Assassins Creed. I have spent the past week almost religiously playing it, exploring every nook and cranny and being immensely impressed by what I have seen. I hope you find this review helpful!

Psykers in 7th Edition - Malefic and Sanctic Daemonology

Hello there everyone, my name is Learn2Eel from Imperator Guides and today I wanted to bring you the final analysis of Psychic Disciplines in 7th Edition with Malefic and Sanctic Daemonology. The art of summoning and banishing Daemons through usage of the maligned Warp powers is one that has made its return to Warhammer 40,000 gameplay in a big way and I think most players are thankful for it. While game-balance concerns are certainly justified, I do feel the narrative potential of a psyker sacrificing their soul to the Chaos Gods for aid is awesome and gives the game a lot of extra flavour that I feel is a continuation of the "cinematic" 6th Edition. I hope you enjoy this article!

Astra Militarum, Orks and other Tacticas

Hey guys, this is a quick early morning (or late night!) update for those of you wondering about the status of future Tactica series, including the now very late Astra Militarum series. Here is a schedule of what I am planning content-wise in the near future;

Early June - Psykers in 7th Edition Final Reviews, Watch Dogs video game review
Mid June - Analysis of Important Rules Changes
Late June to Late July - Astra Militarum Tactica 7th Edition, 6th Edition Tactica updates
August - Orks Tactica 7th Edition
September onwards - Future Warhammer 40,000 release Tactica(s) OR Warhammer Fantasy: Dark Elves Tactica (if no other 40K release occurs), various video game reviews (Dragon Age: Inquisition, Driveclub, etc)

I am pretty poor at maintaining schedules with the amount of content published for each Tactica series often varying dramatically as well as the speed at which articles are produced, but this is the base-line schedule I am trying to adhere to for now. I've allotted a month at least for each Tactica series just in case they end up being Tyranid-sized endeavours but hopefully they shouldn't take that long to finish. I've been pretty busy lately between doing all the usual day-to-day stuff as well devoting time to both Watch Dogs and the 7th Edition rulebook for review purposes. I've been studying each codex as well to try and find new really nasty combos and so far I am impressed with all the changes 7th Edition has wrought in terms of potential army builds and so on.

With that said, I'll leave you guys to it and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day (or evening)!
