40K RUMORS: Armageddon Shadow War Latest
There’s some word doing the rounds on the upcoming Armageddon: Shadow Wars.
There has been a slow trickle of info on the launch of the upcoming game these last few days. Here’s the latest set:
1) Participating stores will be getting an organized play kit on the 1st
that includes everything you need to play including a complete rulebook
just like the one from the game box.
2) In this game “hired guns” are called “specialists”, those are what the
cards you’ve seen for the Deathwatch Veteran and Flash Gitz are for.
3) The rulebook will only contain rules for Space Marines, Imperial Guard
and Orks. The other faction rules will be on the website.
