40k Crusade: Nachmund Gauntlet (+Standalone Imperial Guard Pre-Orders)

[Lord Marshal]

I don't believe this had been announced until now? Up for pre-order next week.

 

 

Quote

The story of the 41st Millennium continues as the anointed herald of Abaddon plunges his daemonic spear into the Imperium’s defensive lines in Warhammer 40,000 Crusade: Nachmund Gauntlet. The worlds protecting the Imperium Sanctus from the Great Rift are under assault by Haarken Worldclaimer, and when an unstoppable Chaos armada slams into the fortified world of Sangua Terra, even the Living Saint Celestine herself may not be enough to turn back the tide.

 

This narrative expansion for Warhammer 40,000 contains expanded Crusade campaign rules for the Sangua Terran War and vicious Surgical Deep Strikes, plus 15 missions for your Crusade Forces to battle through. It will also be available in a special Collector’s Edition release, with gold foil text on a soft-touch cover, printed page edges, and a ribbon page marker.

I expect the story to conclude at most in another stalemate where the Imperium somehow wins once more but the bad guys still lurk on the area.

Haarken Worldclaimer hanging out with his old crew, just to rub it in that NL were this close to have a new character.

 

Not that the CSM dex differentiates between subfactions anyway.

About time they split the kill team sprue from the Krieg infantry box.

As a Crusade player, the content in the Leviathan and Pariah Nexus books is pretty good - the fact that were almost certain to have a new edition by the middle of next year really gives me pause about getting this one. At our local gaming group we're unlikely to run another Crusade campaign before then, so it'd be doubtful I'd get any use out of it.

Hmm Valrak touched upon this in his rumour video yesterday, saying that he heard Chaos might win this one...but it doesn't matter as the Imperium finds another path to the Imperium Nihlius anyway...

Lets be fair to the GW writers. Many of the recent campaign books have not been ending in such a way.  The War Zone Octarius and Charodon books had definitive winners, and it wasnt the Imperium

Never read those storylines, but cool.I think Octarius is where the Tyranids win but is an exception due to the conflict being Orks vs Tyranids and with minimal IoM involvement. Would love to be wrong on this, but knowing how much GW loves their favourite child I'm wary of this truly happening.

Super stubbers. To be fair they are like mini autocannons.

4 random remarks for the price of one :

Do these crusade books have a lot of lore and art ? I have a feeling both of the previous ones came and passed by with very little fanfare both from GW and the fans. Meanwhile AoS equivalent does pop up on roadmaps, is talked about in previews and has entire topics where people debate them.

 

Also nice to have a knight focused white dwarf, just in time to cross-market the imperial knights codex oops, no its delayed I do wonder if its 40ks turn to a new miniature slip up in the white dwarf remain unattended to for 2 months, with recurring forum discussions wether its a conversion or something new. ( the answer for knights probaly being, "yes".)

 

Weird they are going with an eldar focused week again. I thought all the usual material has been covered.

 

Its probably idle hope, but I hope we will start seeing some kill team stuff tomorrow. Its been too long already.

I believe we did get new lore, as it was the pariah nexus book where it mentioned Magnus sending in the automata to the PH to stop Vashtor.

I feel like the biggest upcoming release that’s guard related is interceptor city and the reprint of double eagle.

“Krieg officers suffer heavy attrition rates just like the infantry, so for this reason we ban you from using them in your games”

 

I just can’t get over how ridiculous this is 

[soviet1337]

Is a flamethrower on wheels even remotely practical? Have they ever been used IRL? Am I just underestimating the range they would have?

There's a second passageway that's been on the map since 8E, they'd only need to find a way to stabilize that. Which I assume they would try, as that would be an obvious decision.

I assume that tracked flamethrower would have a range more analogus to a vehicle flamethrower and not a persoanl one. From just a brief glance at wikipedia, the US M9 Flamethrower of the Vietnam era had a range of ~45-55 meters. A contemporary M132 armored flamethrower had a range of ~170 meters. Not that ranges in tabletop make logical sense mind you

I think during the reveal stream they said it had an 18” range.

or maybe it’s a false memory I’m not sure.

By their own logic why are infantry being used. Genuinely, that's ridiculous.

Krieg release also presumably means March for EC as they won't do back to back 40k releases. Here's hoping for spring break.

 

As an aside EC on a spring break doesn't bare thinking of lol.

The 18" range actually makes them potent.

You say that, but Eldar only went up for preorder last weekend, and release the same day Krieg preorders go up. The release schedule so far this year has been very aggressive, it's not implausible that the EC army set goes up in 2 weeks time (although my wallet could do without it)

Agreed, no matter how you slice it, EC preorders are coming this month, whether that's a week Saturday or the week after that. Individual EC stuff will drop in March though. So no Fulgrim till then. Army set though? Your wallets had better start praying. Then this will be just in time for AdeptiCon to reveal what the Thousand Sons and World Eaters are getting for April. If we take the basis that DG are only getting one new model then they could potentially drop in March.

[Mogger351]

Outstanding there is EC, soulblight army box, soulblight rest of release, gitmobs rest of release and the Necromunda wave and I think that's it?

 

Edit: High elves as well sorry.
