Warhammer: Designer’s Notes

THE SHORT VERSION

Alessio Cavatore explains the deliberately limited changes behind the new edition, preserving compatibility with existing army books while correcting unclear interactions. Five-wide ranks encourage more models to fight, fleeing becomes a straight and more decisive movement, and small support units gain a clearer role without causing widespread panic. Wizard-specific power dice reduce the use of lesser casters as batteries, while Insane Courage retains a chance of survival even when a combat looks certain. Pitched Battle becomes the core setup, with alternative encounters retained in the hobby material.
