Ooohhh... pretty.

New design, new version of 40k.

Wait... what?!

That's right, you've heard rumors, but now one of the Big Guys at GW is confirming that a 4th Edition of Warhammer 40,000 will be happening in the semi-near future.

Today's Lesson (from the Word Bearers): With sustained assault rules, don't freakin' hold back. If your opponent can't kill hordes of your Troops, it means you aren't doing enough damage to his forces. Oh, and always use the big dice for random game length rolls... because the big dice like J. Borrowed dice, not so much.
