Interesting.

Crusade of Fire
Crusade of Fire is a campaign system for Warhammer 40,000 that enables you to join the campaign to control the Corvus Sub-sector. Whether you choose to join the Crusade of Fire itself, the foul Servants of Ruin or the bloodthirsty Prophets of War, the fate of the sub-sector lies in your hands.

This 96-page, full-colour hardcover book features exclusive artwork and a host of dynamic new rules. As well as the campaign system itself, the book contains rules that can be used in any Warhammer 40,000 game, from massive multi-player scenarios fought in low-gravity environments or in bunkers deep below the ground, to expanded rules for Flyers. It also features rules for playing games in the gladiatorial arenas of Commorragh as well as for fighting battles on the surface of a Daemon World.

Crusade of Fire also features the story of nine hobbyists as they play through the campaign, including detailed battle reports, fantastic army showcases and turn-by-turn accounts of their conquest.

£25.

If I was playing 40k, I would be very interested

It looks good actually... Idk how many pages are actually dedicated to the campaign since there are detailed batreps and a story of 9 gamers...

Never stopped us before. I just assumed I wasn't keeping track of the latest rumours.

**reds8n**

Separate bunkers and emplacements as well

... guess there'll be at least 1 pleased spinning Commisar then eh ?

**Kirasu**

Looks like an okay book. I think its actually more expensive than FW books page for page for a campaign book tho.

**Alfndrate**

Too many skulls... D:

**Lansirill**

Another friggen LE product?

Edit by Reds8n . bit strong there yeah ?!

**Ouze**

Wow, this looks like just the thing I would have wanted when I was playing 40k regular. I love the idea of a campaign but am too intellectually devoid to come up with my own. I might get this anyway TBH.

Limited edition. They have been pushing it hard for about a year or so, since Dreadfleet really.

Ah, of course. Didn't even notice it was limited edition.

**pgmason**

It seems to be basically a 40k version of Blood in the Badlands, with a similar format. That was an excellent book.

**Erasoketa**

> book mentions Commorragh

Insta-buy for me xD

**Jadenim**

Looks neat; will be getting that once a preorder date is confirmed.

Also, looking at the prices of the individual boxes the big trench line box is about a 30% discount.

**Kanluwen**

It's up for preorder, right now.

How can you possibly think that? These are GW products. :p

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

I love mostly all GW terrain. Please stop acting as if I've ever said any different or that something being a GW product is a reason for me to hate it. I dislike GW, not the models they make. Pay attention.

Anyway, a campaign book. This stuff is my absolute bread & butter. I am getting this without any hesitation.

I'm definitely interested in campaign books, but it's 96 pages featuring "exclusive artwork"* and the above filler, so I'm also curious as to how much of it is actually useful gaming material.

*I'm all for fancy artwork, but it should only be to make the content more appealing, not as content itself and shouldn't be a selling point. I'm interested in campaign and game ideas, all the other fluff is unnecessary.

Well I've got two full Wall of Martyr boxes on the way. The modularity of the bunker will greatly determine whether I get any more.

**Herzlos**

If it's a limited edition release that's crap, because I don't think I can justify pre-ordering it, and would have liked to see it in the flesh before handing over money that could get me a full rule book in some systems

HaHA! Jokes on you GW, I was going to make Dark Vengeance my wargaming purchase on this months paycheck - now I'm going to get this instead. You just cost yourself £35...

Small victories, we take them where we can.

**Phaeron**

The book looks great and I'll be picking up a copy. The variety of new battlefields is really interesting.

Is anyone familiar with the fluff behind the book beyond what's on GW's page? I don't recall the Crusade of Fire into the Corvus subsector, but I'm hardly an expert. It couldn't possibly be a new occurrence in the 40k universe, could it?

I am sure they are devastated.

Yup. That's, um, kind of the joke.

**ShatteredBlade**

I had a crusade of fire once. Man,I haven't had Taco Bell since

**brettz123**

This is an instant buy for me for two reasons:

1. There past efforts like the Generals Compendium have been really good so there is a good possibility that this might be really good too.

2. If they get a good amount of support we will see more stuff like this which is a good thing in my opinion.

**kronk**

My group only plays campaigns and we've done the Badab War campaign 4 times now. Looking forward to this one.

Not sure why it's freaking LE, though. Odd.

Pleased about this. The set looks good but I did not want nor afford the whole thing in one go.
