11 Things We “Know” About 11th Edition… Probably
The group chat’s been busy, the rumours are stacking up, and somehow we’ve ended up with a neat little list of “definitely maybe” features for 11th edition.
So naturally—we’re going through all of them.
In this episode:
 No objective markers? Terrain-based scoring and what that does to board control 
 Charge changes: roll first, then pick your target (yes, really) 
 Stratagems toned down—no more stacking buffs across phases 
 Leaders always leading, even when they’re flying solo 
 “Hidden” mechanics: 18” stealth bubbles and delayed engagement 
 Fight First actually meaning fight first
 Disembarking straight into combat (because why not) 
 Codex-first approach—no index reset this time around 
 A 70 detachment modular system—flexibility or deathstar bingo? 
 Narrative mission structure with both players influencing the game 
 The launch box: Space Marines vs Orks, with a heavy nod to 2nd edition nostalgia 
Why it matters:
There’s a clear theme here—less raw stacking, more positional play, and a suspicious number of mechanics that feel… familiar. Whether that’s refinement or a quiet return to older edition chaos is the real question.
Community question:
Which of these sounds like a genuine improvement—and which one screams “we’ve been here before”? Jump in the comments or the Discord and let us know.

Your list isn’t the problem… probably. But we’re going to blame it anyway.

This episode the Wobbly crew dives into one of the most argued parts of Warhammer 40K: list building. From copy-pasting tournament lists to crafting your own masterpiece, we talk about what actually helps you improve — and what might just be hobby noise.

In this episode we cover:

Premade lists – Are tournament lists and internet builds a shortcut to success, or a shortcut to confusion?

Starting a new army – Where do you even begin when building your first list?

Combat Patrol boxes – Great starting point or sneaky hobby trap?

What points level should you start at?

Great player vs great list – Can skill overcome a mediocre list?

The art of crafting a list – tools, planning, and building around what you actually own

AI generated lists – helpful tool or heresy? The team debates while running our own AI list experiment.

Along the way we talk hobby philosophy, the dangers of chasing the meta, and why learning your army might matter more than copying someone else’s list.

As always, we provide expert advice from people who are definitely not experts, so results may vary.

Episode 96 – Survive the Cull 
11th Edition is on the horizon — and if history tells us anything, something isn’t surviving the transition.
In this episode, we look at which units across Warhammer 40,000 might be on borrowed time. From Space Marine redundancies to Astra Militarum edge cases, and the quiet decline of Flyers and Fortifications, we break down the patterns behind the cull.
This isn’t panic — it’s pattern recognition.
Cull doesn’t mean death.
 But it does mean change.

The Warp is stirring… and that usually means change.
In this episode of Wobbly Player Syndrome, we look ahead to the next year of Warhammer 40,000 and read the signs pointing toward 11th Edition. No leaks. No doomposting. Just experienced players connecting the dots from recent rules, releases, and design trends coming out of Games Workshop.
We talk faction fortunes, rules direction, hobby trends, and the big questions every 40K player is asking right now: who’s set up to win, what’s about to change, and what’s worth paying attention to as the edition cycle turns.
If you want informed speculation, genuine hype, and a clear-eyed look at where the game is heading, this one’s for you.
The Warp is whispering. The year ahead is going to be big.

In Episode 94, the hosts take a hard look back at the Warhammer hobby in 2025 and ask a blunt but necessary question of Games Workshop: what have you actually done for us lately?
This is a year-in-review episode that cuts through the hype to examine the good, the bad, and the ugly. Which factions genuinely received attention and meaningful support—and which were left waiting? Were the reveals and roadmaps exciting, or did some feel like teases without delivery? And in a year full of previews, balance updates, and edition talk, where did expectations line up with reality… and where did they miss the mark entirely?
The conversation also turns inward. After everything that happened in 2025, how do we actually feel about the hobby right now? Are we still excited? Still optimistic? Or just cautiously hopeful?
This episode is equal parts critique, reflection, and honest discussion—no salt for the sake of it, but no blind praise either. If you’ve ridden the highs and lows of Warhammer this year, this one’s for you.
