REVIEW: Forge World IA Apocalypse Book
Well it’s finally here, rules for Forge World in 6th Edition / Apocalypse.
Over the weekend I did a review on the new Forge World Imperial Armour (Armor) Apocalypse book (the fourth of its kind in five years lol, fifth if you count Aeronautica), which contains updates to most of Forge World’s line of super heavy, and 40k relevant models.
Overall it’s a great looking book with all the bells and whistles you would expect from a FW publication, great pictures, stunning graphics, and brief back story on each unit.
The book itself is broken down into sections by faction which updates the units over to 6th edition, or categorizes them by Super Heavy unit type (formation, walker, etc..) and a campaign section for using superheavies in the infamous Vraks Warzone setting.
They also included some of the Independent Characters from the Vraks series in that section as well for use in games of 40k. Feel no Pain, Furious Charge, Typhus Zombies? Yes please!
The rules for most units are very similar to the old ones, but they made some noticeable changes to some units like the Lucius Pattern Drop Pod, the Storm Eagle, and both Chaos Titans for starters.
Overall its a great book that impact both normal games of 40k and Super Sized (Apocalypse) ones!
I would 100% recommend this book for anyone playing Apocalypse games, or as some of the units in here are stamped “40k Approved”, for your normal games as well.
