Come get your first look at what surprises may be in the new Planetary Onslaught supplement that just was spotted in November’s White Dwarf!
While no one knows what will be in the new supplement for sure (besides GW), there are plenty of ways to try to guess.
Astute hobbysist Kanluwen complied this list of all the fortifications out there, and when you add in the newest one it totals 29:
1 Aegis Defense Line
2 Imperial Bastion
3 Imperial Strongpoint(Fortification Network)
4 Honoured Imperium
5 Wall of Martyrs Imperial Defense Line
6 Wall of Martyrs Imperial Defense Emplacement
7 Wall of Martyrs Imperial Bunker
8 Wall of Martyrs Firestorm Redoubt
9 Wall of Martyrs Vengeance Weapon Battery
10 Wall of Martyrs Imperial Defense Network(Fortification Network)
11 Promethium Relay Pipes
12 Void Shield Generator
13 Void Relay Network(Fortification Network)
14 Skyshield Landing Pad
15 Fortress of Redemption
16 Macro-Cannon Aquila Strongpoint
17 Vortex Missile Aquila Strongpoint
18 Munitorum Armoured Container Cache
19 Plasma Obliterator
20 Tidewall Shieldline
21 Tidewall Droneport
22 Tidewall Gunrig
23 Tidewall Gunfort(Fortification Network)
24 Tidewall Defense Network(Fortification Network)
24 of those are the items that are currently directly referenced as Fortifications. I included, in my initial counts as I think they will likely make an appearance, the Basilica Administratum, Manufactorum, Shrine of the Aquila, and the Sanctum Imperialis despite currently being labeled as “Battlefield Terrain” rather than Fortifications.
PROVISIONAL
25 Basilica Administratum26 Manufactorum
27 Shrine of the Aquila
28 Sanctum Imperialis
With the Haemothrope Reactors, we’re at 29…so most likely I think the Haemothrope Reactors will be rolled into an existing Fortification Network.
29 Datasheets in the new supplement, and here is a solid count of 29 current formations (and formation like kits). Coincidence, maybe not?
Will this replace 6th Edition’s Stronghold Assault? Take a look at the list above and drop what you think in the comments below!
