Gw Newsletter announces additionally Book of 30 New
missions for 40k, plus Minis for Orks,imperial Guard and Space Marines .

Could please someone post the Link?

**nyyman**

I haven't got that one yet

Coming in March, Battle Missions is a brand-new supplement for Warhammer 40,000 that expands on the basic missions found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. Each of the thirty-something scenarios detailed in Battle Missions has been designed to allow you to fight the sort of battles normally the subject of Black Library novels. From daring raids and assassinations, to breakthroughs and last stands, Battle Missions will allow your army to play in a way that reflects its background. No matter what Warhammer 40,000 army you collect this exciting new supplement will open up a whole new gaming experience.
Of course it just wouldn't be the same if there weren't some great new miniatures to fight through these missions with. Fortunately, there will be new sets for Space Marines, Orks and the Imperial Guard released alongside Battle Missions in March.

What the newsletter said, and there's a picture of some Catachans fighting Tyranids and it looks like a new Bassie. Least I think it's new, the sides of the chasis look similar to the Hellhound behind it, but the gun and shield look exactly like the current kit.

Edit: Here's the picture:

**BrookM**

Same here, I'm interested now.

edit.

Yay!

**lord_blackfang**

Cool, more IG and Orks.

So what's still missing for Marines? Plastic special characters?

**Kanluwen**

STORMTROOPERS?

FINALLY?!

FFS. I just bought some 60 Kasrkin via Neal.

**BrookM**

Marines lack a Master of the Forges, that's about the only thing left that they don't have.

Orks still need new Buggies, Trakks and Flashgits.

Guard.. A crapton. New Russ kit, Artillery tank kit, plastic storm troopers, plastic rough riders, Lucas Bastonne, Knight Commander Pask, a new Marbo, Penal Squads, Hydra, Manticore and the Deathstrike.

**Reaver83**

Oh thats brilliant news, another thirty missions + our regular 3*3 and COD and PS, well that's just brilliant!

Now if they would just let me know about the daemons second wave i'd be happy

**Dexy**

I'm looking forward to it. I loved some of the missions in 3rd, too bad they got rid of them.

**H.B.M.C.**

Hopefully none of them will be Kill Point based.

Does sound interesting though, given we're writing our own campaign supplement (I'd tell you about it, but I'd get C&D'ed).

And new kits? Well, I hope the Orks get something they need. Can't imagine what the Marines don't already have. And looks like there's a Basilisk, but plastic Stormies would be great as then I could combine them with the Land Speeder Storm and make my 'Little Bird' squadron.

**1hadhq**

Thankx for the Link

O
if only the Space marine mini could Be à Big piece of plastic....

Looking forward to the IG Models

Perhaps the mentioned Space Marine models include Space Wolves, they're missing some stuff like the Thunderwolf Caverly aren't they?

Orks still need new Buggies, Trakks and Flashgits.

And maybe a seperate box of those new style Deffkoptas that come in the AOBR set?

Guard.. A crapton. New Russ kit, Artillery tank kit, plastic storm troopers, plastic rough riders, Lucas Bastonne, Knight Commander Pask, a new Marbo, Penal Squads, Hydra, Manticore and the Deathstrike.

Add an updated Chimera and some plastic Ogryns and I think that would be most of em.

**BrookM**

I sincerely doubt new Ogryn (which aren't that old) and a new Chimera, which did receive new Codex art, but no new hull design like the other tanks.

**wuestenfux**

Yeah, I got the newsletter today.
Its confirmed what has been said above, new book and miniatures for SM, Orks, and IG.
This basically means that BA are postponed.
But this is what Brimstone already mentioned, not March, could be August 2010.

**brettz123**

Sounds cool. Always looking forward to new marines.

**Flashman**

Colour me intrigued. A more generic mission book sounds like a better idea than something specific i.e. Planetstrike. A return of small kill team esque missions perhaps?

If this is done right, it would have a great modelling section with terrain ideas for each mission. However, if something like this does put in an appearance all terrain will doubtless be made out of GW plastic kits and battle scenes will take place on you know what!

**wuestenfux**

New missions that can become standard missions in tournaments are very welcome.
In the recent German GT, we played these bland missions from the rule book.

**Agamemnon2**

I like this idea. It can't come out soon enough. New missions are a good, logical direction to take the game.

I hope that's not the new Basilisk, because if it is, they've not changed the Basilisk parts at all, just the Chimera chassis hull sides. I find this to be a bit unlikely, though.

**Neith**

It'll be interesting to see when BA get changed to because of this (unless the 'new Marine kits' are BA- yeah, right

). Of course, this opens the slight possibility of BA being moved to Autumn 2010, and possibly a dual release or even combined Codex (Angels of Death). I highly doubt it, but it does leave me wondering when BA will release now.

Still, more missions is always a great idea, even if I do play Apoc most of the time now.

Well, at least a new Nork. You definately need a new Nork. And yes I know it looks like 'New York'.

And would you look at the shoddy Tyrant there.

**Kid_Kyoto**

New Marines could mean terrain like the Marine Statues that pop up in WD. Maybe a new razorback with all the new options?

**marv335**

This looks like the book I was talking about with JJ at Conflict Scotland Last year.
The basic plan was to have 3 themed missions for each race (JJ mentioned 10 races, looks like they've added more)
Missions will be tailored for the racial background of the force. Last stands, beach heads, Hold the line, Slave raid, that sort of thing.
Mission generation works from a D6, 1,2,3, player 1. 4,5,6, player 2.
Each time you play you have 6 different missions.
All objective based with differing victory conditions.

**Dexy**

I believe that is going to be the new basilisk. If you look in the codex they have the pictures of what all the tanks will look like next to their entries.

**lords2001**

Man, I would do much - MUCH - for a proper razorback kit.

**Horst**

I tell you it would be right funny if GW turned around and sold space hulk / custom missions it ripped off sites it threw C & D's at.

**AgeOfEgos**

Hmm, the guy that initially posted on Seer (Scryer in the Darkness) had this to say;

Orks: Warboss kit, Buggies/Wartrakks, Killa Kans, Plastic Dred, Deffkoptas.

I like the way this boy thinks.

This is the 4th time I've read/been told by someone on Seer the ThunderHawk will be next year. If it's true, I'll take 3.

**TBD**

Plastic Killa Kanz/Dread & Stormtroopers are very welcome!

It would be great if we would get plastic Flash Gitz as well, but I have a feeling that we will not.

**H.B.M.C.**

A new Dread, Stormies, plastic Dreadz/Kanz, Deffkoptaz, plastic Warboss, a bunch of Guard tanks, new Buggies and a frickin' Thunderhawk???

This must be some form of 'Elite Wishlist' because there's no way that's coming out at once.

**Flashman**

Yes, file this under "Too good to be true"

**wuestenfux**

So this could be the third book to be released in 2010,
besides Nids and BA; possibly nothing else.
