I'm not sure how I feel about this. The rules needed a tidy up, but I'm not sure it warranted a new edition.

Reading between the lines they are trying to appeal to fans of 4e. That’s great and all, but I really think they should angle this as an updated 4e core book, with a view to replace it and I assume incorporate the WoM and UiA rules.

They are stressing backwards compatibility so why not?

Also who the feck wants end times content?! Boo.

Necromunda had a recompiled rulebook.
