40K Escalation and Stronghold Assault Arrive

Please note, this supplement is currently only available in English language.

Across the battlefields of the 41st Millenium, desperate commanders loose their greatest weapons of war. Classified “Lords of War” by the Imperium of Man, these vast and deadly assets bring a new level of destruction to the galaxy’s eternal war.

Warhammer 40,000: Escalation contains full rules for adding super-heavy vehicles and gargantuan creatures to every Warhammer 40,000 army. This means you can now use these massive models in games of Warhammer 40,000 as well as games of Apocalypse.

This 96-page, full colour, hardback supplement contains:

· A background section introducing Lords of War units and their terrifying impact on the battlefield.

· All the rules needed to play with super-heavy vehicles (including Flyers and Walkers) and Gargantuan Creatures, as well as rules for their potent wargear.

· An amended force organization chart that allows players to choose Lords of War units as part of their standard Warhammer 40,000 armies.

· Datasheets for every plastic super-heavy Citadel miniature, plus a selection of super-heavy vehicles and gargantuan creatures from Forge World.

· A showcase of expertly painted Lords of War Citadel miniatures.

· New Altar of War and Gauntlet Challenge missions that can be played instead of the Eternal War missions in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

You will need a copy of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook and relevant codexes in order to use the contents of this book.

Armoured bastions and towering bulwarks stand as imposing sentinels on almost every battleground in the 41st Millennium. To assault such fortifications is invariably to charge in the face of death, and only the most determined army has any hope of survival.

Escalation sounds like my previous suspicions – that the limited integration of super heavies via a single “Lords of War” FOC slot seen in the 30K Horus Heresy hardcovers is going mainstream.  As a strong supporter of 30K and having a bunch of games involving Lords of War under my belt, I can tell you that it will be OK.  You can stop hyperventilating now.  If they use the 30K FOC limitations, these big guys won’t ruin your game, but instead add some occasional spice, and more importantly let every army grab that new pricey centerpiece model to add to your collection.
