Come see the contents of Warhammer 40k’s newest supplement, Planetary Onslaught! GW listed the entire contents on their product listing this weekend!

Checkout the new compilation of rules below. We have numbered them for everyone’s convenience:

 

Warhammer 40,000: Planetary Onslaught (Hardback) $40

The 112-page hardback supplement Planetary Onslaught brings together and updates the rules for 3 Warhammer 40,000 expansions – Planetstrike, Stronghold Assault and Cities of Death – and presents them as stages of planetary conquest. Play them individually, or string the three different sets of rules together to create an epic campaign that tells the story of the fate of an entire world! One player assumes the role of aggressor, and the other defender, playing through the three phases with additional rules tying the whole campaign together into a single, brutal Planetary Onslaught.

Early previews stated that there were 29 new datasheets in this book , however there are only 28 listed here. Strangely It does not list the 29th datasheet which I would only assume is the Haemtrope reactor?

Either way oversight or not, I’m down for having all these rules in ONE handy book, plus the new campaign (in red, above) sounds super fun to play though as well!

Take a look at the list above and drop what you think in the comments below!
