Pre-Orders are here for two new supplements for your games of 9th edition 40k, plus five terrain packs that can be bought separately!
Warhammer Community just let us in on what’s going up on pre-order for the coming week! Let’s check out what all is on the way to pre-order on September 26th!
The two books and one of the terrain sets were originally shown back in August during a weekend preview, if you want to check out what was revealed back then just click here.
Crusade: Beyond the Veil
This is the first narrative Mission Pack for Crusade, and it includes 24 exciting missions for you to play at four different game sizes (six for each). It contains extra Agendas, Battle Traits, Relics, and Battle Scars, as well as all-new rules for Afflictions and Theatre of War rules for the Pariah Nexus, making it perfect for theming your games in this strange and deadly region of space.
If you have been enjoying Crusade, or even just are thinking about getting one started, this book is definitely a safe pick up. With more options and ways to play you really can go wrong with it. That being said if you just play matched play, there’s not really a reason for you to get this from the looks of it…
Chapter Approved: Tactical Deployment
Along with 18 brand-new missions for all sizes of game, the Mission Pack includes extensive rules for playing Tactical Deployment games, focusing on Tactical Terrain. Now, you bring your own terrain to the battle and, depending on the type, it will have specific rules.
Opposite of Beyond the Veil this supplement is great for anyone looking to spice up matched play games. This adds more rules for terrain interaction in games, which can be good but also complicate games. If you want to add more depth then this is an option for you to integrate into your games.
Manufactorium Data Sheet Cards
Alongside Chapter Approved come the Battlezone: Manufactorum – Terrain Datasheet Cards, designed to be used with the Tactical Deployment Mission Pack. This set of cards includes narrative and matched play terrain rules for a range of Manufactorum pieces.
While more rules may make things harder to keep track of, these cards will not! These cards are always great as they can help you quickly looks up which rules are in play and really speed up your games by lowering the downtime looking at books.
Battlezone: Manufactorum – Vertigus
Along with 24 individual pieces of terrain, the kit also includes two double-sided game boards for you to play on, making it perfect for Combat Patrol- and Incursion-sized games.
Sub-Cloister and Storage Fane/Sanctum Administratus
The Sub-cloister and Storage Fane were originally in the Warhammer 40,000 Command Edition box, and are now available separately for the first time, giving you additional flexibility when it comes to building your battlefield.
You may notice this terrain from the Command Edition starter set. This set has actually been pretty well received, so if you like how it looks are want to set up your own gaming space this isn’t a bad choice. it also comes from a few extra sprues than it did originally in the starter set.
Munitorium Armoured Containers & Conservators
Finally, we have some old favourites being reboxed. The Munitorum Armoured Containers have always been popular (they finished 7th in 2016’s model of the year poll!), while the terrain in the Battlezone: Manufactorum – Conservators kit has been seen in countless dioramas.
Warlord Titan Mori Quake Cannon
This lethal weapon of devastation gives you another option for your Warlord Titans and can be fitted as either the left or right arm. Not only is this weapon incredibly powerful, but anything lucky enough to survive will have its movement reduced.
You can also pick up a Warbringer Nemesis Titan armed with a volcano cannon when the Warlord version of the Quake cannon weapon drops on Friday.
Mars-Delta Pattern Warbringer Titan Head
If you want to add some extra individuality to your Warbringer Nemesis Titans, you’ll also be able to get the new Mars-Delta Pattern Warbringer Titan Head. Along with two tilting shields for your Titan’s shoulders, the head features a fully detailed interior, including a Princeps and two Moderati.
