of many rules tightened up that were previously ambiguous, and a lot of changes to balance differ-ent unit types out. If you didn’t like the free-wheeling nature of 6th, you will hate 7th as it completely takes the lid off and allows you to liter-ally do whatever you want. There is no struc-ture to list building any-more which throws the door wide for both the-matic armies and abusive armies. It is left to the players to regulate them-selves, for better or

worse.

So, we have on our hands a shiny new edition of the game. It came fast on the heels of 6th ed, which was unexpected, but it incor-porates all of the craziness of December with Escala-t i o n , S t r o n g h o l d , Dataslates and Formations into the 6th ed core rules with some FAQs thrown in for good measure. The game played on the tab-letop is essentially the same as it was. Rules me-chanics wise, the Psychic Phase is the only really big change to how the game plays. The really signifi-cant changes come in the the pre-game of building your army and deciding what mission to play. Here, the game changes dramatically, however, these are also the rules most often changed by

players so I look at these with mixed feelings as they will likely not be

used that frequently.

In all, 7th edition War-hammr 40K is extremely close to 6th edition 40K. If you liked 6th, you will like 7th as it essentially dou-bled down on the ele-ments of 6th. You now have even more freedom to make whatever army you like with the benefit

RIW is pleased to announce

Pauper Magic Thursdays from

6:00p.m. to 9:00p.m. in the

Blue Room. Pauper is a Mag-

ic Online format in which all

cards used must have been

printed at the common rarity

in a Magic Online set or

product. Common promo

cards are only legal if the

card has been printed at the

common rarity in a set or

product. Other than that,

the usual rules for Con-

structed decks apply (a

minimum deck size of 60

cards in the main deck, an

optional 15-card side-

board, and so on). If a

common version of a par-

ticular card was ever re-

leased on Magic Online,

any versions of that card

printed at other rarities

are also legal in this for-

mat.

WHAT… ALL DRESSED UP AND NOWHERE TO GO? Here Are Upcoming Events Happening At RIW This Month.
