Are you ready to take your Crusade games into the Zone of Silence? Then you’ll want the new Crusade Mission Pack! It sees you enter the mysterious Pariah Nexus, and while there’s great danger in this area of space, the rewards on offer are worth the risk…
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. There’s also a detailed background section on War Zone: Pariah so that you know what you’re getting your army into.
If you’re hankering for extra matched play content, the new Chapter Approved Mission Pack opens up a world of new tactics for terrain.
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. Ardent matched play fans will have a blast coming up with new strategies to deal with this challenge!
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.
It also features rules for three different Battlezones. Whatever kind of player you are, you’ll want to grab these cards to take your terrain to the next level.
Of course, new terrain rules are even better with cool new terrain… like the Battlezone: Manufactorum – Vertigus. The terrain in this kit perfectly matches that in the Warhammer 40,000 Command Edition and the Warhammer 40,000 Command Edition Battlefield Expansion Set. It’s ideal for starting a new collection or adding to an existing one.
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.
You can also expand your collection with Battlezone: Manufactorum – Sub-cloister and Storage Fane and the Battlezone: Manufactorum – 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. The Sanctum Administratus is based on the Sector Imperialis Manufactorum, but contains additional sprues, meaning you can construct an incredible three-storey ruin.
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.
While they’ve been designed for Warhammer 40,000, these five kits can also all be used to add terrain to a battlefield in Necromunda, Kill Team, or the Age of Darkness. They’re also great if you’re looking to make your Armies on Parade board really stand out.
If you like your war machines big (and we mean really BIG), then Forge World has some amazing things in store for your Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40,000 Titans next week. First up is the 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. As they say, whatever doesn’t kill you, slows you right down.
Also available from Friday is the Warbringer Nemesis Titan armed with a volcano cannon. Sometimes weapons are given creative names that bear no relevance to the way they work. That’s definitely not the case here, as the volcano cannon unleashes a super-heated blast that instantly vaporises anything in its path.
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.
Use your head and pre-order these titanic kits from Friday.
