Planetstrike

Новости по Планетстрайку

A friend of mine at GW US HQ proposed an irresistible topic to me this week (thanks, C.M.), so here it is for your consideration and participation. With so many preview copies of Planetstrike out there now, surely some gamers must already be plotting the diabolical destruction of their enemies. Whether you're contemplating a set of intricate and stalwart defenses to trip up invaders or planning a destructive lightning strike to circumvent those defenses, the new set-up, force organization, deployment and stratagems for Planetstrike likely have many 40K players thinking quite a bit about this latest expansion for their favorite game. So, here gentle players pretending to be merciless commanders, are some questions to get you thinking and sharing ideas about Planetstrike:

1) What are some sample killer army compositions or nasty unit combinations for each 40K army using the new Planetstrike force organization for both attackers and defenders?

2) Which of the new stratagems seem to be the most effective? Least effective? Most colorful and fun? Also, note that the new stratagems have a "cost" depending on their perceived efficacy such that some of them use up multiple stratagem points. Which of them are possibly overpriced or under priced and why?

3) Which armies have the greatest potential as attackers? Defenders?

4) When combining Planetstrike with Apocalypse, which Apocalypse units and formations will be the most wicked, or fun, or wicked fun to employ?

НОВАЯ ПОРЦИЯ СНИКПИКОВ Планетстрайка с Варсира

EDIT - Okay, contributions... some from ninjas, some from French White Dwarf:

1. The Dark Angels fortress will be released but not until after October-ish. I'm currently trying to get confirmation on this from other sources. (Actually in truth I'm too busy doing other things at the moment and haven't managed to chase this up yet )

2. The Rhino is fixed as part of the Battlescape and can't be removed. However if I'm reading right, according to the French July White Dwarf, there is also a Land Raider wreck associated with the Battlescape. So it seems it comes with either a Rhino or Land Raider? Or perhaps there are different versions of this set with different army's wrecked vehicles? Interesting but strange.

3. GW will be re-releasing the wrecked Aquila Lander from Battle for Macragge, which can be used in conjunction with Planetstrike stratagems. This is also mentioned in White Dwarf.

EDIT #2 - Oh and July White Dwarf has a nice article dealing with modelling Chaos, Eldar, Ork and Tau Bastions.

Не понял про олл-дроп:

мы получаем д6 хитов 5ой силой или д6 вундов 5ой силой? Если вундов, то зачем сила указана?

Вунд, сила, наверное, для техники.

Эм, техника значит ничгео не получает, т.к. вундов не имеет.

Нет, там написаано, что техника получает д6 ВУНДОВ по боковой броне. Как унас вунды по технике отрабатываются?

Хит может быть либо glancing/penetrating либо с конкретной силой. Сила указана, направление удара указано, в чём проблема?

Нет разницы. Разница была бы если бы говорилось бы автопень/автогланс.

Пробелма в том, что техника получает (hit) в бок Д6 ВУНДОВ.

Там не написанно, техника получает Д6 хитов в бок.

:D

"Vehicles are hit on their side armour" - техника поражается в боковую броню.

Там написано что по технике попадания идут в бок. И будет их D6 с силой 5. В чём смысл спора вообще? Либо мы читаем разные правила, либо интерпретируем их на разных языках. У меня английский, а у тебя?

Второе. В атаках автор вместо "хит", написал "вунд". Это ничего не меняет. Раз сила указана, значит будут идти броски на ранение/пробивание, иначе в силе смысла нет никакого.

Не не не. Почему будет д6 попаданий? Техника поулчает в бок не попадания, а вунды. Вопрос, как резольвить вунды по технике?

Второе: вот и я гвоорю, что ГВ ошиблось. Либо всем вунды/гленсы, либо всем хиты.

Bastion and Skyshield - Unboxed

Well guys it was only a matter of time before some lucky Warhammer 40k fanatic got an early shipment of Planetstrike goodies. The fine folks over at Beasts of War have thrown up 2 videos of the Bastion and Skyshield kits and sprues. Enjoy!

Bastion Video

Skyshield Video

In addition to GW's Planetstrike product launch on July 4, many Games Workshop stores and independent retailers will be hosting Planetstrike hobby events that day to give everyone a chance to test out the new scenery and expansion rules.

For example, GW's Maryland Battle Bunker & HQ will be hosting The Battle Of Cold Steel Ridge, a massive mega-event pitting players against a Tyranid Hive army of more than 25,000 points! Rally your troops, prime your weapons, set your fuses and prepare for war. This game will combine Planetstrike with Apocalypse over ten large game tables for one of the largest Battle Bunker game events ever held by GW in the US. Similarly Planetstrike-themed events will take place in stores all over North America that day. Please contact your local game store for information about specific events in your area.

Подробности 40K REVIEW: Planetstrike - АХТУНГ!!!

Hi guys,

Content Review

First up, this book is an expansion for the main rulebook, so if you are already a 40k player, you're ready to go. In the same vein as Cities of Death, the book mainly covers large attacker-defender style missions, instead of the balanced missions with no predefined roles we get in the standard rulebook. With differing sides and contrasting FOC tables, Planetstrike will require a little bit of pre-planning, and lends itself well to narrative gameplay or more organized playstyles than just simple pickup games.

Planetstrike Rules

After a brief introduction we get right into the meat of the rules section. This is broken into 2 broad categories:

-Organizing a battle

-Defensive Terrain

Organizing a battle is a real homage to the old "battles" section of the 4th edition rulebook with even more embellishments added in. Both attacker and defender are presented with new FOC tables, allowing both players to build up forces that are otherwise not possible outside of Apocalypse. Things like 6 elites for the attacker and 6 heavy suppport choices for the defender and much more are guaranteed to peak players interest ,and produce some very different games.

The book goes on to cover the placement of objectives, how forces arrive on-table, and the attackers and defenders goals and objectives. In general the attacker has a hard road early to mid-game with the defender gaining the advantage of position, and formidable defenses, but it is the defender who will start the sweating late game. Objectives may be claimed by the attacker with only a single surviving model, and every squad counts as scoring, so the attacker must not only be prepared, but thorough with his firepower. Even small rag-tag remnants of attacking squads can achieve victory.

Defensive terrain is the visual highlight of Planetstrike. Here we get detailed rules for:

-Bastions

-Interceptor Guns (with limited overwatch abilities!)

-Defense Lines

-Landing Pads

-Fortresses

The rules are clean, and work with the core rulebook well. Did I mention that all defensive weapons on the new terrain pieces fire at BS:2 and are awarded to the defending player for FREE!

Strategems

After the core rules, we move onto the Strategems. These are really cool, if somewhat analagous to the Cities of Death strategems section. There are a large set of strategems divided into attacker and defender pools, to spice missions up. From attacking Stasis Bombs, to defending Drop-Bastions, there is something for every game. The section then moves on to my favorite part of the entire book: race-specific strategems. Here we see such awesome abilities as the Space Marines mighty Drop Pod strikes, to the fear-inducing terror of Dark Eldar assaults, and their craftworld brother's deceptive use of the Web-way. Along the way, we get little background tidbits on some of the game's older races that is sure to tantalize the fluff nuts.

Campaigns and Missions

Next up is a short section that expands the default Planetstrike mission presented earlier into a full set of 6 missions with differing special rules and objectives for variety. These may be played in series to represent a mini-campaign depicting the invasion of a world, and are a treasure trove for narrative gamers or campaign designers. I can see many of these being used with Planetary Empires to really add depth to league play.

Fluff and Painting Section

Next up a large section covers many famous invasions of the 40th Millenium, covering every race out there. Many of Warhammer 40k's older codices get a nice dusting off with dramatic new stories, and artwork. The Dark Eldar and Space Wolves are standouts in this department, with a bunch of intriguing hints and information.

Finally we hit the obligatory crazy color battle plates chock full of pretty pics. While not as over the top as the Apocalypse books, we get to see every major race slugging it out in and around the new Planetstrike terrain sets. High quality 'Eavy Metal work abounds, along with lots of Forgeworld goodies and its definately inspiring.

Downsides

While everything is good so far, there are some issues. Once again, we see Witchhunters and Daemonhunters left in the cold strategem-wise. While there are thankfully Grey Knight and Sisters models in a couple of pics, I'm starting to get the feeling that continueing from Apocalypse there is some reason GW is not mentioning those two codeices by name any longer. Some will note the broad similarity between Planetstrike and Cities of Death, and the criticism is warranted. Both supplements are broadly similar, and you will find the strategem sections to be blurred reflections of each other.

Summary

On balance, Planetstrike is a good bargain for the price, with the terrain sets being even better. If you enjoy the drama of disparate roles for both players, or you feel the standard pickup-missions from the rulebook are getting a little old, you will love this product. It opens up the game to include new playstyles that let you use your existing minis collections in new ways. The ruleset dovetails nicely into the existing rulebook with little to no hickups, and the expansion of the game to include such common 40th Millenium themes as bastions, fortified lines, and the like will only enhance the dark-gothic look of your tabletops. Lastly, it is cheaper and more accessable than Apocalypse supplements, being an add-on to the core game.
