Ok so I've been aggressively digesting the Boarding Actions rules and it think there is some stuff in here I could see being carried forward into the next version of full on 40k.
While boarding actions does have chajges to loS, movement, measuring, and targeting/casualties.....I think those are more specific and thematic to fighting in closed hallways
The new rules I do see with potential to be carried forward are
1. Reducing stratagems to only the core ones, with possibly a small handful of faction specific ones (boarding action only allows CP Reroll, Insane Bravery, and Counterattack)
2. Greater importance of actions. Boarding Actions introduces the following actions that would be interesting in 40k
-an action to make an objective sticky if you control it with an obsec unit
-an action to fire overwatch when a unit moves into X distance and LOS (regardless of the phase it occurs in)
-an action to get +1 to hit when charged
3. Retaining the flexible force construction from Arks of Omen gt pack
I really dig the idea of giving up shooting now to trigger opportunity fire later...instead of ujits getting 2-3 rounds of shooting in one battle round
