Joe Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 We take a bit of a break from previewing the new edition’s rules today, to explore one of the galaxy’s war zones. We saw already, in the galaxy map, that a wound has been torn through the Imperium by the mother of all warp storms. Today we have a look at exactly what this means for one familiar planet – a place you guys have all be fighting over for the last few weeks, and for some, even longer – Armageddon. As the rift opened up across the Imperium, Armageddon was lucky enough to not be cut off from Terra, but that is no guarantee of safety. The world was already a battleground for an Imperium desperate to hold onto a vital manufacturing world, as they fought against the largest Ork Waaagh! in millennia, which is driven by the greenskins’ primal urge to re-take this former heart of their ancestral empire*. Since the warp rift tore through the heart of the galaxy, Armageddon has found itself directly in the path of The Blood Crusade, a vast legion of Khorne’s Daemons pouring into realspace. The world looks set for one of the greatest wars in Imperial history. Greenskin, human and followers of the Blood God – all have unfinished business on the ash wastes of Armageddon, and only time will tell which force will triumph… Armageddon is just one of the war zones erupting in renewed conflict in the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. We’ll have news from a few others as the new edition approach. Exciting times. Tomorrow, we’ll be back with some more news on new rules as we look at the Shooting phase. *Say what?

Indefragable Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Never noticed there was a planet named Chosin before. I wonder how much the in-game lore reflects the "frozen Chosin" Twelve thousand men of the First Marine Division, along with a few thousand Army soldiers, suddenly found themselves surrounded, outnumbered and at risk of annihilation at the Chosin Reservoir, high in the mountains of North Korea. The two-week battle that followed, fought in brutally cold temperatures, is one of the most celebrated in Marine Corps annals and helped set the course of American foreign policy in the Cold War and beyond. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/chosin/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chosin_Reservoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
