    I’ve had a chance to make the roller arena myself and I really enjoy it!  You can add your own text to the cards which is really handy for personalising your games!  Here is a picture of the Roller arena I built.

  • Warhammer 40,000 Expansion: Planetstrike

    Posted on May 23rd, 2009 Highland_Piper No comments

    Currently Available for Pre-Order

    Warhammer 40,000 Planetstrike

    Warhammer 40,000 Planetstrike

    From Games Workshop Website: Planetstrike is a game of glorious invasions and desperate last stands set in the battle-ravaged universe of the 41st Millennium. Will you take the role of the defender, repelling the enemy’s vanguard with heavy weaponry and heavier fortifications? Or will you play the attacker, raining hellfire and damnation upon the foe before sending an army of your best troops to claim the smoking remains of his strongholds? This is truly a war on all fronts in which the enemy can appear at any time, from anywhere – especially from above!

    This 80-page expansion book contains all of the rules and information you need to play games of Planetstrike; including: full rules for configuring your forces for planetary invasion, a full-colour hobby section on preparing your defences, and a comprehensive background section detailing some of the most infamous planetary assaults.

    You must possess a copy of Warhammer 40,000 in order to use the contents of this book.

    Also Available for Pre-Orders are some fantastic defensive terrain including Imperial and Chaos Bastions; Aegis Defence Line; Skyshield Landing Pad; and Mines, Bombs, and Booby Traps.

    Imperial Bastion

    Imperial Bastion

    These new plastic terrain pieces are very nice, and reminds me of the “Old Days” when Games Workshop had released the Imperial Bastion and the Imperial Firebase for Second Edition.  These where thick card with printed textures used with the plastic bulkheads.  I still have the instruction manuals for them.

    Imperial Firebase

    Imperial Firebase

    I must admit that I’m very excited for Planetstrike to come out.  Apparantly you can mix Planetstrike, Apocalypse, and Cities of Death into a massive campaign setting that may resemble those of the Dawn of War video games.   So dust off your figures and squrce up you gaming table as it is time to take back the galaxy!

  • New 40K Rules Coming

    Posted on June 8th, 2004 Rob No comments

    From the GW site:
    In case you haven't heard yet, a new era of war is dawning. An updated version of Warhammer 40,000 is o­n its way. Please note that the new rulebook isn’t a brand new game, rather a refinement of the existing rules:

    • The new rulebook is a rules update not a complete overhaul of the rule system
    • Your Codex does not become obsolete
    • With army lists not changing, your army is sound and will not need changing

    We've added the information to our Download Section


    Note: All info is copywrited by Games Workshop… Blah blah blah.

  • The New Assault Rules

    Posted on August 11th, 2003 Rob No comments

    Yet again GamesWorkshop has changed the rules on us, but you dont have to buy a new rulebook for these!

    In my opinion I like the rules, they clarify a lot of the "ify" rules, and they make things much easier. One of my favorites would be the "When a unit shoots in the shooting phase, if they choose to assault they have to assault the unit upon whom they fired at"
