Found this little Gem

[slithernaut]

For those of you who want a balanced or maybe quicker or maybe more enjoyable war game but are still in love with you 40k models?

I found a link that explains how to use Bolt Action rules for 40k models.

Fifth post down... PDF...


Most bolt action rules designers were former GW rules designers(GW does not have the ability or will to keep the good rules designers) all the rules are on two pages!

I bought a late war German starter set, the models are beautiful, in a realistic sort of way.

Any other bolt action players in the haus?

Wrapping up my little blitzers today! I can't wait to get a game in. Everyone who I have spoken with said Bolt action was the final nail in the 40k coffin for them.

When I click on the pdf it leads to a link saying 'file not found'.

If anyone is interested, I will list my 500 and 1,000 point armies that I have used, and 3 others that I have "brainstormed"

Wait a second, 2 pages? Didn't we as the community knock GW for making Age of Sigmar just 4 pages only?

I am 99% sure everyone hates AOS because of the lack of balance. (from the lack of a points system)

Bolt Action is probably the most balanced game I have played.

You can have a Termagaunt that has the exact same stats as a guardsmen.

I really like the turn system. No waiting around for 15 minutes during your opponents turn. In fact you can literally choose how often you will go by the amount of units you have.

Each unit you have gives you an action dice. Each player puts their dice (different color but the same size) in one bag/dice cup. One by one a single dice is pulled. The owning player gets to activate any unit that hasn't been activated yet. Once all the dice have been drawn(and units have been activated) the turn is over.

Its a lot easier to get people into miniature war gaming, that is for sure.
