Is there going to be a new Data File called Warhammer 7th Edition or will you just keep updating this one? The changes in the rules aren't too drastic, but what are you going to do about this?

so i dont have the rulebook yet (i am picking it up this week) but here is what i have heard... there are no changes in the main rules that really affect the data files, except maybe some changed text somewhere. so i am going to keep the same set of data files and just rename it to 6th/7th edition.

a new orc armybook is out next month, so that will get added just like the new dwarves did.

does anyone have any infos that would contradict the above??

The changes that would appear in AB are pretty minor.
-All 8 lores of magic have significant changes.
-Great Weapons only give +1S when mounted on horseback
-Pistols can alway stand and shoot. A brace of pistols has multiple shots x2 and can always S&S.
-Pistols count as hand weapons in CC (not additional). A brace of pistols counts as 2 hand weapons.
-Enchanted Shield can no longer be used w/another magical armor choice.
-Any magical shield offers a parry bonus (+1 SV w/hand weapon).
-Frenzy give a +1 attack for each stat line with an A score if any part is affected (e.g. savage boyz boars are frenzied).

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not sure if these logic changes will require a 7th edition branch.

thx for the list! i am looking through the rulebook now~ i think i will add the option to change between 6th and 7th edition, since those are pretty major changes!

thanks for the summary
