With only three scenarios in our rulebook. What do you do when you get bored with them?
Do you invent some scenarios?

Factor in the three different deployment types, given the three different objectives, and you've got nine scenarios. After that, you can combine options, or you can check out some of the missions used at various tournaments (Adepticon has some good ones, and this year's Ard Boyz scenarios offer some slightly different game play).

Plus in the WH40K Big Book it has a campaign and a few specific scenarios you can play and a brief article about creating your own.

The AoBR rule book is the same as the WH40K Big Book until page 97, if I'm not mistaking. In the WH40K Big Book after the fluff is the campaign and scenarios.

Thanks, those Adepticon scenarios are looking ace!

You can also grab an extra handful of scenarios from Cities of Death, and more when Planetstrike comes out. The CoD scenarios need a bit of tweaking to make them fit well in 5th ed, but nothing too crazy.

Yeah, and just playing an escalation campaign with the regular scenarious is a blast.

The scenarios from the previous edition are still playable for the most part as well if you have access to them. I also like to alternate between regular play and things Like COD and soon Planetstrike and the occassional Apoc. game.


I really wish/hope that GW would put out a suppliment book (like COD/planetstrike sized) that is totally a scenario generating system with at least 20 different missions of all types (Objective based, kill point based, special victory condtion based, etc., etc.) with a system for generating random deployment of various types, weather conditions, expanded terrain rules, stratagems, etc., etc.

I think it would be very useful and interesting...

You know, we could probably make a big scenario page here on Dakka.
