I will stick with my 4 by 6 mats for home games. For big narrative games and Apoc we play on larger tables and put multiple mats together for those types of games.
Then the game eventually moved to the 4 by 6 standard.
We started out on 4 by 8 foot boards when we started to play the game. Just ask your local community organizer in advance what to expect to avoid any dissapointment. Also, other events such as NOVA, Adepticon, the LGT, Battle for Salvation, and many more are making the switch as well.
We were pretty surprised when we learned about this ourselves.įourth: will we be running our events on these new sized surfaces? Yes we will. We only give feedback on rules in our role as playtesters. We have absolutely zero influence on or usually even knowledge of product development choices GW makes. Third: did we at Frontline have any input on this choice? No. It’s also been related to us that this size fits particularly well on many common kitchen tables such as those you can purchase at Ikea to make it easier for new players or players with no access to a club or FLGS to play at home. No conspiracy, a simple choice based on what they felt was best for accessibility to the game from a business perspective.
Second: why did GW do this? The answer as it has been related to us and as as it was outlined in the article is incredibly simple : it allows new players to build a table using Kill Team boards that easily fit into boxes. They still function on a 6×4′ for sure, but I wanted to put that out there. As they say in the article, it’s not required if you want to stick to a 4×6′ although it is good to know that 9th was designed to be played on a smaller surface and the missions as many of you have seen were designed with that in mind. We wanted to share some insights about this and where we stand on the topic.įirst: do you have to switch your table size? No. Today GW announced that the new standard minimum size for a 2,000pt game was going to be 44×60″. Alright, the cat is finally out of the bag on the table size thing so we can actually speak somewhat freely about it.
