Apocalypse is only seven days from being released, and included in the Apocalypse book is the first Warzone release: Armageddon. So what are Warzones and what will be in them. Lets first look at some inside information and then discuss.

Warzones are self contained supplements that go into the famous campaigns found in the background of Warhammer 40k. Armageddon is the first of these, and is included in the Apocalypse book.

The inside info (anonymous source)

Armageddon contains the history, locations, and battles that can be played from the second Armageddon War.

this Warzone will include:

unique natural disasters,

3 scenarios,

9 strategic assests,

19 Apocalypse Formations

This is the first Warzone, and more will be released in the coming months

Warzones

A lot of people have been concerned about their favorite formations being lost, or there just is not enough of them. The way to look at Warzones, is that these will be supplements that will add a lot of things to 40k apocalypse, including new formations. Armageddon will include 19 formations inside its pages of the Apocalypse book, and you can expect that future releases (coming soon) will include many more as well. There is even a Warzone page already set up on the Games Workshop site.

The point is, look forward to a lot more formations being added to Apocalypse very easily and quickly with these stand alone supplements. The new format for releasing and updating Apocalypse is already set up for new Warzones, and it will easily surpass the Apocalypse of old.

The Enter the Citadel Event has come and gone, and Mauler, a reader here at Faeit 212 sent this in. (I think he also posted it up on Warseer). This is a great report on the event, and some great information, especially the parts that reiterate what our sources here on Faeit 212 have been saying... No armies are losing their codices or going away.

Here it is, enjoy.

A huge thanks to Mauler for sending this in to Faeit 212 yesterday.

Keep up the good work, mate! I was at the Enter The Citadel event yesterday.

Just got home from this event and it was pretty damn good. Got to chat with Jes Goodwin, Jervis Johnson, Phil Kelly, Kevin Chin & several other BL & FW guys. Sat in on their Designing Apocalypse & Warhammer Feedback sessions where they talked about the subject and we got to field questions to them afterwards.

Some blitherings:

Apoc is seen by the GW studio as a toolkit for massive games rather than a rigid framework, leaning towards making big games easier to organise and play rather than sticking to the background setting. The Allies matrix in the 40k rulebook with "Come the Apocalypse" is the truth; in Apoc you can ally with whichever faction you like. Formations are in there to give players a direction to go for with their collection: if you've got two Predators, pick up the Apoc book and are unsure about what models to get next (I'm paraphrasing here and I didn't pick up the Apoc book myself today) then leafing through the Imperial formations you can pick up one more Predator and get bonus rules for the 3x Predator formation, whatever it's called.

Formations don't have points values as they're not units in the same vein as the core rulebook & codices, they're mainly there to provide bonus rules if you have groups of specific models and make things more interesting. The guys got the point across that if you don't like a particular rule you can just leave it out; if you don't need a particular tool in your toolkit you're not obliged to use it. Master Of Disaster which originally had a Viking helmet to pass around each turn to identify the Master) is wrecking massive chunks of table? Don't use it. Finest Hour? Optional. It's all there to be used as we see fit, it's even less of a tourney focused expansion and is basically a guide on arranging and playing oversize games with mates.

War Zone books for Apoc will be more like mini-Imperial Armour books than supplements and will include new scenarios, unit datasheets, rules & historic background, orders of battle and timeline maps. The studio will use them to pick significant battles from the history of 40k (like the Battles For Armageddon) and flesh them out in detail along with rulesets for players to enact them.
