To be fair being able to buy terrain could be interesting option and if those have low enough points then it might also be used to full fill points that can’t be full filled any other way and only option would had been to buy more updates.

Buy AND place your own Terrain? For you to use?

This rumour sounds pretty good to me (as long as it isnt that random forest crap from fantasy I dont like the randomness).

I still think more boots on the field would be better than terrain but I’d have to wait and see what kind of stuff you can get. sentry gun turrets could be cool, like the Tarantula gun turret.

Terrain on fire is also very awesome.

So you can expect a table that’s bare in the middle with masses of terrain in each deployment zone 🙂

Actually I can see Darrel buying the minimum figures that whatever force organisation chart is in 6th then buying loads of hills ……. where the objectives go ……and you can’t kill hills ….

😀

buy terrain for your army sounds good to me (Like the old Epic fortress rules)

regarding setting fires: terrain catches fire if you roll the firing weapons AP or above on 1d6 (how does that sound for an elegant solution).

IIRC dropping a minefield existed as a Mission Card in 2nd Ed ….

With terrain going up 60% I wonder if there could really be any truth in this rumour? 😛

Some of the ideas are grand but not sure of dropping in bunkers and walls.
I don’t think there are any foundations for these tbh.

Digging in would need at least one turn uninterrupted from enemy action
Smoking woods are bad for your health, don’t do it kids.
Should be a wind test with the scatter dice if a wood starts to burn to see which way the fire and smoke go.

buying terrain for the troops to use? that sounds awsome, like the tau n eldar could deploy like those forcefields like the ones in dawn of war games. space marines with bunkers turrets n all would b cool too. I think that if a flamer fires into a bunker, seein as their usually closed in spaces the unit inside should take more damage because of the flamer being fired into the confined space

I think this will make playing nids even more interesting. they are made for the terrain… but not flamers.

personally not a big fan of the idea sounds interesting but (practically) sounds difficult also i suspect people would get excited about it, try it, then only a few people would stick with it
P.S. i resent the accusation tau got nerfed there one of the few armies i have difficulty against and i believe they still retain some of the best value for points units in the game (damn hammerheads with decoy launchers/disruption pods)

I want terrain made of salt piles.

Hope this is ruled in. Not only does it make sense as it would be more realistic. If it is, I will need to reconsider certain armies.
There are some Imperial guard armies for instance that just cry out for trenches & bunkers that are placed in a strategic prepared positions rather than placed in a disjointed fashion over the table trying not to favour one player over another.

Im 50 – 50 on this

I like the idea that you can set terrain on fire, but buying your own terrain I don’t really like the sound of. Its an interesting concept but I don’t think it should affect the army size. So if you have a 2000pt game you should have 2000points of army + X points of terrain.

I have to say, these 6th edition rules rumors sound like they’ll be great for flamer heavy armies, like my Sisters…..with being able to flame terrain, plus the rumored stand and shoot rules, it seems like a non-close combat sisters army will still stand the test of time…even better perhaps!

Galactic estate agents lobbied for this…

How many points for a Bouncy Castle battlefield 🙂

this is booooooooooooring. i mean, Imperial Guard will just buy bunkers, the anyone who assualt loses bonouses as they stumble around while the commisar punches the heads off with the pistol and power sword. not a lot of Assualtling will happen, sure it’ll look good… but that’s not all we gamers want. JUST KEEP 5TH ED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
