RUMORS: Codex: Planetstrike
-rumors brought to the community by warseer’s: dosadi
~Happy holidays all! Look what Santa left on our doorstep:
Ok, since its Christmas I’ll spill what little I know.
(…) It just feels like years of developing the game for strict tournament play is no longer the focus of the game…now it’s more about fun and creativity as we’ve witnessed with Apocalypse…and will see with…PLANETSTRIKE!
Yes, Planetstrike is the name of the next supplement (unless someone at GW reads this, gets mad and changes it out of spite). It’s about taking the game into the 3rd dimension (Waa?). This is why you’ve been hearing about a deepstrike book; but it’s much more than that! It is about adding flyers and drop pods into the game but also about fighting missions with a clear attacker/defender. I’m sure this has been said before elsewhere so consider this another “confirmation” if you will. There will be a plastic SM drop pod that can also be a chaos deathclaw (I think that’s what it’s called). There will be plastic storm troopers (look like kasrkin) and a plastic valkyrie. The Valkyrie may even be available as a transport in the next guard codex. There are also several new terrain kits in the works. A landing pad, a defence laser and a bunker. All of these can be combined to create a fortification and it goes without saying that they are compatible with the current CoD building sets. There are some other things I’ve heard about Planetstrike, but I’m waiting for a second source to confirm them before I spill.
Planetstrike will be released at GDUK AFIK since 5th will now be out at the beginning of the summer (they switched places for some reason). (…)
~Also confirmed (again) a little after the fact was the rumored plastic Thunderhawk being planned along with Planetstrike. Damn you GW, everytime I try to get out…you drag me back in! A shiny new 5th Edition in only a few months then this! 🙂
