Planetstrike Rumours

[The Dude]

***Read this first***

I'll be keeping this post updated, so make sure you check it first before posting any "new" info

For those that don't know, Planetstrike is a rumoured Expansion in the same vein and Cities Of Death that will add extra rules to regular 40K games. It appears it will focus on Attacker/Defender type missions with special rules to suit. This could even go so far as to cover Siege warfare.

General Info:

Planet Strike will supposedly be released in July.

Cover can be seen here:

Rules:

In a game of Planet Strike, the Attacker/Defender split will be very important, with them possibly getting different FOCs.

Defender
Gets to place all terrain on the battlefield and picks his table edge.

He can declare Terrain to be dangerous if he wants (Mined for example) although it’s not clear how much he can do this for.

There will be buildings with mounted weapons, like armed bunkers etc.

Probably, the defender will have to place all of his army.

Attacker
May place some Craters to get some cover.

May move in from his table edge, Deep Strike and Outflank, similar to a "Dawn of War" Scenario.

May also get some goodies like a prepared Artillery fire on the defending units, special equipment etc.

Will most likely get first Turn.

What the actual Missions will be is yet to be seen.

Releases:

New multipart plastic terrain kit similar to the Cities of Death ruins. With enough of those you will possibly be able to build fortresses, defensive structures for tanks, or control towers, outposts etc.

Possibly this:

It has now been revealed that the Tower is scratchbuilt, but the barricades are what will be released. The barricades have been used as the ramparts of the Tower.

The Fortress is apparently visible on the Sentinal box.

Aircraft landing pad, apparently with "movable pieces"

Possibly similar to this:

Possibly more Daemons stuff

IG Plastic Stormtroopers/Grenadiers may get a release

Eldar Jetbikes have been mentioned as a slim possibility

Plastic Thunderhawk is again mentioned, and has been rumoured to have been shown to Retail Selling Staff (the guys who sell to independant retailers).

Here's the cover for those not gotten the new WD yet. I'm glad they kept the 4th Ed background and keeps all the expansion books in the same motif.
