If you’re of a certain age – particularly an age where you remember gluing and painting tiny plastic space marines as a teenager – prepare yourself, because the following news may trigger sudden feelings of nostalgia and oldness: Warhammer 40,000 is 30 years old this year.
To celebrate its sci-fi universe hitting three decades on the clock, Games Workshop has announced a brand new edition of the storied miniatures wargame that looks set to overhaul the title with revised rules more in line with its fantasy sibling Age of Sigmar.
Described as a ‘fresh start’ for the series, the upcoming version will feature a sleeker ruleset that encourages faster matches and supports open, narrative and matched play, including a points system for use in tournaments.
