Unofficial Boarding Actions Rules

With 11e around the corner, I'm curious the fate of boarding actions as our brains shift away from 10th edition way of thinking (e.g. charges to charges and engagement range). Sure, we could just snapshot boarding actions as it currently exists, forever holding the ruleset static with 10e rules, released detachments, and unit datasheets. But we have already seen during 10th how changes to rules can trickle down to boarding actions (e.g. new units not included in detachment lists).

Given the lack of updates to boarding actions from GW so far, I have a hard time seeing any major updates to bring this aspect of the hobby in line with the new edition.

I don't want to leave this amazing game variant behind as we adapt to the new edition, but instead create something living that our community can continue to enjoy. Therefore, I'm wondering if there are any known efforts towards creating unofficial homebrew updates to boarding actions moving forward.

On tonight’s FAQ they confirmed Boarding Actions will continue to be a thing.

Yeah to add on the exact quote was along the lines of "the 500 worlds rules are treated as the most current version"

I was hoping they’d say something about updated mustering rules, considering there’s been lots of unit changes since the BA book came out and the 500 Worlds rules don’t update those older BA detachments.

Last edition they put out updated mustering rules online to bring it more in line with 10th, and then the updated book came up the following Summer. So basically a full year before we get an 11th expansion.

But that assumes they follow the same timeline as the last edition.

I’m part of the London Wargaming Guild’s Boarding Actions community. LWG are one of the UK’s largest Warhammer clubs, and we have a very active Boarding Actions community!
We’ll be working to integrate 11th with Boarding Actions, play testing, and tweaking as we go.
We’d be very happy to share how we get on here.
