For the Rules Lawyer the rules, and the game, are mostly an intellectual exercise and if they play the game they leave those arguments at home. A Rules Lawyer is generally a person who argues the RAW of rules simply for fun, usually online, and to show loopholes in the rules but not with the explicit intention of bringing these loopholes to the table top and exploiting them. Rules abuse is different than a Rules Lawyer by the way. Warhammer 40k has a long, and storied, history of players who abuse the rules. Is 8th edition the end of the Rules Abuser class of player?
Personally my favorite part is the sassy comments the GW Warhammer 40k page makes back at people who make silly counter intuitive, and counter common sense, arguments. With a rebooted, vigorous, and often times humorous online presence combined with a renewed commitment to timely FAQs and Errata to problematic rules and interactions, we entered into a new era of tighter and clearer rules where not only the RAW (Rules as Written) but RAI (Rules as Intended) are clearer than ever.

Some people, of course, didn’t like it because “change” but overall the new system was a refreshing update to what felt at times was a stagnated game system, even between similar editions.Īnother boon of this new edition, was that it came with a new and improved Games Workshop, in several ways. It was lauded by many in the various 40k communities for the small set of core rules and expanded rules through Indexes, and the various types of play, like Matched Play. The arrival of 8th edition last year heralded a new era of simplified 40k.

If you are interested in the history of games I suggest the series Crash Course Games from Crash Course on YouTube.
Now that 8th edition seems to be entering the realm of simpler rules, have we turned a corner with Warhammer 40k? Other games’ rules are so complex that bending them to your will almost seems like part of the game. Some games rules are so simplistic that breaking, or bending them, is practically impossible. From that first game there have always been rules. From the beginning of time, humans have played games.
