Something Something Dataslates

The Dataslates, nothing divides our gaming group quite like it. On one hand it's a product designed to sell older models. However it does give you nifty rules for models that otherwise wouldn't see the table top ( I'm looking at you Rising Leviathan 1). One of the biggest gripes I hear is that the rules should be in the codex, Or that there is just too much to keep track of now. How can a person possibly know the rules if there are Dataslates coming out in such rapid succession. I am not one of those players, I prefer to be surprised on the table top. I feel the way the game is meant to be played is having a little surprise now and then. The Dataslates are great for that, it expands upon a codex. Anything that can add to an armies longevity on the table top is greatly welcomed. It's almost as if GW is starting to rethink the force org in general allowing formations the ability to not take up a FOC slot. Its bold and I like that direction, not every game play element from previous editions are still in use. Somehow the FOC still kind of lingers on, this seems like a fun way to get around it and have some fun games!

Leave a comment with your thoughts on the Dataslates.
