How does the Campaign System look and does it seem like it'd be easily adaptable to (non 30k) 40k armies, including xenos etc?

Thanks!

Essentially you have 3-5 targets per region, each requiring one game to win. Each side has 2-10ish points to spend on attacking these targets, one point per attack. Each attack is a 40k game, attacker vs. defender with the winner getting the target. Take all of the targets to win the region. Optionally you can play with multiple regions and give the overall win to whoever wins the most regions.

As for using other sides and doing it in 40k, easily. The only thing that wouldn't translate well would be the relics (which are trivial details) and maybe some minor aspects of the missions that refer to loyalist/traitor-specific stuff. The overall campaign structure is defined in very general terms and includes plenty of rules for designing your own planets/regions/etc to fight over.

Got my copy today. I noticed laser destroyers are back to AP1 again.

Ah wow thanks, I wasn't expecting a regional campaign (like Planetary Empire); the Badab campaign system were totally different.
