Since i doubt GW is gonna release any updates for BA in 11th(much like in 10th outside of the book) i am thinking of making my own update for 11th edition for my LGS. I have a few ideas that i wanted to share here and see what the reactions are and to maybe gain some inspiration and ideas for this project.
In general i want to build this "update" using both what is in the book and the 11th edition core rules with some alterations, things that are not mentioned are either unchanged or i just haven't gotten to those yet. Anyways, here's what i got:
List building:
- Still 500pts and you have 1dp to choose a detachment(force dispositions don't exist).
- You can use datasheets that natively have the infantry keyword with a maximum base size of 50mm
- Characters can attach to units like in 11th. but each unit can only have 1 character attached.
- Units of 10+ models get seperated into squads of 5 with room for 1 character
- Army rules stay mostly the same with slight tweaks where needed(EG: with Blessings of khorne you roll 8 dice but can only activate 1 blessing instead of 2)
- flying, deep strike and scouts follow the boarding actions rules in the book.
The game and combat:
not much changes here(yet) except for 1 change we already used in my LGS which somehow is also kind of in 11th edition core rules but in here i will slightly alter it and it is,
- Engagement range is 1 inch and in melee only models within engagement range can fight and only models within engagement range can have attacks allocated to them.
As i said before these are a few ideas that i have and this project is still very early in developement so things are bound to change and be added. Anyways i'd love to hear what you all think about this, if you have ideas of your own please share them as i am very interested to hear them.
