If you missed the new 40k rules from the weekend, come see them in the Tank Shock Organized Play that’s rolling out from GW!

“Elite Vehicle Assets”

Those are some pretty cool assets to just add to a vehicle. Very similar to the “Legacies of Glory” from the Warmachines of the Adeptus Astates IA II book, but seemingly for zero points cost.

I wonder is these will be event only OR something for all games or Warhammer 40k.  Either way they should benefit most vehicles in some way.

Tank Shock is coming to the stores that agree to purchase a $500 or $1000 OP kit. Each event period will run for 3 months with a noticeable theme of sorts, with the first being “Tank Shock” and centres around tanks.

I also think a lot of players read too much into the words “Age of Sigmar” and “points” recently when they were both used in the same sentence online.  The upcoming The Age of Sigmar campaign will include a type of “points” for it, however just not in the way points pertain to things traditionally like 40k for instance.

 

This is not just happening folks, it’s already way past the planning phase, and judging by the pictures below we may even see it rolled out by the slow summer time period  for the gaming industry as well!

Here’s some of the shots of the swag from Tank Shock that was sighted on Thursday on BoLS:

Overall I think this is an amazing step forward to help build communities in stores, encourage more hobbying and hopefully organized play across store – regional – and at the Grand Tournament level.

Coupled with the ITC FAQ and the Bringing Hobby Back movement I think the future of Warhammer 40k and AoS looks bright!
