11 Things We “Know” About 11th Edition… Probably

The group chat’s been busy, the rumours are stacking up, and somehow we’ve ended up with a neat little list of “definitely maybe” features for 11th edition.

So naturally—we’re going through all of them.

In this episode:

•  No objective markers? Terrain-based scoring and what that does to board control 
•  Charge changes: roll first, then pick your target (yes, really) 
•  Stratagems toned down—no more stacking buffs across phases 
•  Leaders always leading, even when they’re flying solo 
•  “Hidden” mechanics: 18” stealth bubbles and delayed engagement 
•  Fight First actually meaning fight first
•  Disembarking straight into combat (because why not) 
•  Codex-first approach—no index reset this time around 
•  A 70 detachment modular system—flexibility or deathstar bingo? 
•  Narrative mission structure with both players influencing the game 
•  The launch box: Space Marines vs Orks, with a heavy nod to 2nd edition nostalgia 

Why it matters:
There’s a clear theme here—less raw stacking, more positional play, and a suspicious number of mechanics that feel… familiar. Whether that’s refinement or a quiet return to older edition chaos is the real question.

Community question:
Which of these sounds like a genuine improvement—and which one screams “we’ve been here before”? Jump in the comments or the Discord and let us know.
