link First game of 8e, using the available stats, leaked rules images, and some extrapolations. Generally, really really liked it! Far smoother than 7e. Some weirdness: wound allocation means you keep special weapons all game, and can benefit from cover by allocating to that one drone in the house every time). But nothing like the weirdness than tended to fall out of 7e's bizarre compromises and artifacts from past editions. Looking forward to playing the new 40k!

Wound allocation in previous editions (not familiar with 6/7) also pretty much allowed you to keep special weapons until the last, too.
