8th Edition Rumors that keep 8th edition mechanics similar to what we have now, but streamline a narrative way to play the game. This looks intriguing.
The source is good, and previous information has been accurate.

8th ed was referred to as a "backwards AOS-ification" of 40k. Basically, they'll push the plot forward, keep the existing mechanics more or less as they are, but adding in "streamlined/narrative" way to play that is closer to the narratives you find in the AOS Generals handbook.
