This is fine if you think about it. 5th Ed. was GW's first attempt at getting True Line of Sight right. They did good for the most part; it sped up the game and made things visually impressive. However, they failed on two major accounts: The general cover system and the Vehicle Damage Chart. Everything right now, is too forgivable. A 4+ cover on everything means half of your shots are negated and the glancing modifier means you can never destroy a vehicle with a glance under normal circumstances. This is ass.
Here is what I want in 6th Ed., more so than any other change GW can think of:
- Increase vehicle lethality by bringing back ways to kill vehicles with glancing shots. A simple -1 modifier for glancing instead of -2 will do the trick. This will result in a lot of vehicle death everywhere once you throw enough heavy weapons into the fray.
- Decrease the general cover bonus for all units by 1. This means everything will get 5+ cover for the most part, which is perfectly fine for me. Skimmers, Jetbikes and anything capable of turbo-boosting should get a 4+ cover at best.
Who is willing to test some of these rules out and see how it will effect the current armies out there? I have a bunch of 40K armies that would like to experiment.
