Notably, the Tyranid army list is still over JJ's stated word limit for Special Rules (IIRC), and I think that it should lose its template attack Special Rule in order to fit within JJ's 1500 word limit.

Considering teardrop weapons didn't exist when the rulebook was written and since then several armies have used them (chaos, tyranids, squats, titan legion), shouldn't it be added to the rulebook instead of separate army lists?

Oh, and warhound inferno guns should definitely use the teardrop template, which is my only beef with the current titan legion list. :;):

That's a different matter. You could get under that line by cutting out fluff from subrules without removing any rules as such.

I sent this in email, but I'll post it here for the community as well:

Jervis *wants* "fluff" included in the description of rules so that
reading them isn't a "dry textbook".  His "1200 word limit" is not a
mandate to use less words, but to have less *rules*, so clipping the
fluff is against the spirit of what Jervis is advocating.

E&C, it's a 1200 word limit, not 1500... and it's being worked on...   :cool:

Sorry, I typo'd.

You'd think I'd get that one right wouldn't you?  :))

Please raise this issue in the AMTL sub-forum, and we can debate it!

Jervis *wants* "fluff" included in the description of rules so that
reading them isn't a "dry textbook".  His "1200 word limit" is not a
mandate to use less words, but to have less *rules*, so clipping the

I very strongly agree with this sentiment.
