Chapter Approved will be released before Christmas this year, and it looks like we’re going to be seeing 24 new missions for our games inside.
Games Workshop just dropped another teaser for the upcoming Chapter Approved that will be out shortly. Let’s take a look at what they had to say about the 24 new mission that will be included in the new book.
In Chapter Approved, you’ll find 24 missions aimed at every kind of gamer, perfect for keeping your Warhammer 40,000 games feeling fresh. 12 of these missions are based on Stronghold Assault and Planetstrike (six each). We’ll be getting into these further as we discuss campaigns, but each of these narrative focused missions is great for a one-off game. All-out Attack is one of the most thematic, simulating a desperate assault against seemingly overwhelming forces as enemy units come back on a 4+ when destroyed! This is a great way to add a truly epic scale to your games of Warhammer 40,000 even if you don’t have a massive army.
As well as narrative, there are 12 new missions for matched play games – 6 Eternal War missions and 6 Maelstrom of War missions. These completely change the way you’ll approach matched play, and are set to present new challenges when writing effective lists. Ascension, for example, is a three-objective mission with a twist – you’ll need to use your characters to score as opposed to your infantry!
Roving Patrol is going to make the way you second guess how you set up your army before deployment. You’ll divide your army into three different groups, keeping them at as equal of a number of units as you can, roll a D3, and the results is the unit you will deploy, the other two units will arrive as reinforcements. Keep your groups balanced, or make a strong one and hope the dice gods are in your favor, the choice is yours.
24 missions to choose from is definitely going to increase the different ways you play your next game of Warhammer 40,000. Matched plays is going to be getting an additional 6 Eternal War missions and 6 Maelstrom of War missions.
Check back in with us tomorrow when Games Workshop goes over some of the expanded rules, stratagems, warlord traits and relics in the new Chapter Approved for 11 factions that don’t currently have a codex.
