It won't cost you an arm and a leg to get into the new edition of Warhammer 40,000, and you can check out the rules for free now.
of its long-running flagship game Warhammer 40,000. With streamlined rules, less books to reference, and more readable unit profiles, GW is hoping to make the complicated wargame much more accessible this time around—and that extends to its cost, too.
Playing Warhammer has never exactly been cheap—in recent years falling somewhere between golf and collecting black market human organs—but 10th edition looks to be making it much cheaper to take your first steps into the grim darkness of the far future. GW has released, where previously players have had to buy expensive core rulebooks.
So basically, it sounds like you won't need to buy any books at all to play full games of Warhammer 40,000 in 10th edition—a pretty significant change when you consider that in 9th you needed a £42.50 / $70 core book and a £32.50 / $55 codex at a minimum. Further reducing the barrier to entry is a new game mode called Combat Patrol. Combat Patrol boxes are sets of miniatures for each army that are sold at a discounted price—currently £95 / $160. For example, the Aeldari box contains a Farseer leader model, a towering robotic Wraithlord, six Windrider jetbikes, and 10 Guardian soldiers.
Normally, that wouldn't be well balanced, but GW plan to put out custom rules for each box that allow them to be played against each other fairly. That's not necessarily an easy task—given that these boxes were originally put together more as a sales tool than a gameplay concept, some of them have pretty random forces inside—but if GW can pull it off, it'll mean just one Combat Patrol box really is all you need to start playing.
