GW's 8th Edition Rulebook Guide - by Jervis Johnson

A very nice Warhammer Fantasy Battle rules summary and "things to look out for" guide from Games Workshop - the "Steadfast" articles.

The thing which really startled me when I read this guide was how much I had actually missed or not properly absorbed on my first reading of the rulebook. I guess the only way to really get going with the new rules is to get a few small battles under your belt while paying a lot of attention to the changes.

It's an 8 page article split into 3 sections. The guide really is excellent and well worth some reading time.
