Couple of beginner questions

ZimbuTheMonkey · 10-01-2011, 03:21 PM

1. From what I have been able to determine, the game is based off of Living Ruleset 5. Is this correct? I know that 5b/6 is out there, but I'm not sure if they are relevant to me.

2. As a new player, is it necessary for me to look at those race playbooks or can I just wing it until I am more experienced?

3. Is there a way in-game to play quick matches to learn the rules with a friend? I think worrying about rosters and money will end up confusing me.

Thanks!

1. No the game used LRB 6, the rules are slightly different.
(Find it here http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_...tion_Rules.pdf)

2. Against the computer, maybe, but I would definitely read up on the teams before you play online or someone else. They each have some interesting tricks.
Try out this site for info about the teams

or this site for more general information

3. There are ready made teams to choose from. You should be able to do one off matches against other people. (Always liked making my own teams).

Both websites should give you great suggestions on how to build teams.

my advice as a new player is to just play matches and then go back to guide's and rulebooks to improve your play and understanding of the game.

Trying to learn all the rules is too much at the start.
