Warhammer 40k: Book of Rust is a Must Have – FTN

3 Minute Read
Apr 5 2021

If you play the factions in the Book of Rust you know you want it. For others, what you’ll find is a book with a lot of cool lore, campaign ideas, and awesome art.

Hey all,

I play two of the factions represented in the Book of Rust and I couldn’t be more pleased.  With the Adeptus Mechanicus, we see some pretty nice upgrades to struggling units and army types.

For the Death Guard, we see a way of playing that doesn’t (and also prohibited from if that matters) center around Mortarion.   I love playing with the giant figures but they aren’t for everyone. Some folks don’t prefer using them and some people prefer not to play against them.  Either way – the rules presented for Death Guard here are pretty novel and allow for a style of play that harks back to when the idea of a Chaos Legion came about as a powerful concept all the way back in 3rd edition.

The same idea holds true with the Admech.  The concepts here give what I consider the minimum amount of rules buffing to add a WHOLE new playable list type back to the faction.  I like playing with the Robots and happen to have a fair amount painted so my eyes list up when I got a chance to look at the rules.  The rules are good, but not too good.  Why does this matter?  I think people will be pleased and not feel like they were a victim or benefactor of codex creep.  It feels weird to even type this!

We kick off the talk about a potential overpowered thing with the Druhkari being able to stack multiple on top of multiple for attacks from a single character model.  Wow.. this could be big but I honestly don’t read it the way that some people are reading it that benefit from certain interpretations.  With that said – I do see where they are coming from so I’d put this point on FAQ Watch.

FTN mostly focuses on Warhammer 40k, but you will see that in the first few episodes, we take a severe deep dive into nerdom. These have been a blast to record, and I hope they help pass the time for you. Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome. Ordering a set is a good way to support one of our sponsors AND the show. Find them here.
