I enjoyed the article, particularly because they actually explained a bit how being the attacker is different from the defender in terms of the FoC.

I mean ultimately the article only serves to say "hey, check out and buy these awesome new terrain model kits" but at least the article was decent - I liked they gave a Turn 1 example of play.

The bit of custom Tau terrain they show is nice.

Also the bit about intercept shots was interesting. I hadn't heard about those yet.

Whatever it is, it's quite nice. Nicer than the seismic "hammer", imo.

And on the article. I mean it's no crime to advert a new product. And it's done with a lot of information and in an objective (kind of) way.

Looks like you'll have fun then I really loved the before and after shots of the battle report in WD (probably the best one they've done for a while, because they weren't trying to push any one army), but the amount of terrain required to achieve that look scares me!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799728.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799728.page GMT Getting Started With Planetsrike Article is up on GW's Website http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799781.page GMT Getting Started With Planetsrike Article is up on GW's Website

The defence line is pretty spanky, and you certainly get a more than reasonable amount from each set, which I was worried about.

So, we have Planestrike, for the opening of the campaign, standard and Cityfight for the meat and bones of the campaign, and of course, Apocalypse for the last hurrah. Only one thing is missing....

How long until they finally do a Combat Patrol / smaller, more detailed expansion for sabotage missions? Just a book with additional rules for asploding terrain pieces, specific objectives (ruin the fuel, burn the ammo etc) to aid in the wider campaign, as well as provide interesting luncheon hour based shenanigans? They have to do this. Surely!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799849.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799849.page GMT Getting Started With Planetsrike Article is up on GW's Website

I'm guessing... quite a while?

GW wants to sell lots of models.

A 'skirmish' setting doesn't really accomplish that quickly enough for them, I think.

Though, to your point, a natural feeder system of 'Skirmish' to "Planetstrike" to "Apocalypse" would help...

OK, I hope it is next!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799911.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799911.page GMT Getting Started With Planetsrike Article is up on GW's Website

Doesn't have to be big, and they can get additional model sales in the following way....

Release boxed sets of special 'Saboteurs' for each race. Cooler poses, special equipment etc. Make them cool enough with the extras, and people might buy them just for the Bitz as well. Even if it's repacks with a new sprue, it's a new way to sell. Oh and of course, some nice new metal Sargeants equivalents for each race to lead the brave troops into battle!

Ways and means!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799923.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799923.page GMT Getting Started With Planetsrike Article is up on GW's Website

Don't forget that Space Hulk is coming! It could go:

Space Hulk (pre-landing space combat) -> Planet Strike (landing) -> Standard/Cityfight (main war) -> Apocalypse (Götterdämmerung)

And that's without adding Specialist Games (BFG for the initial fleet battles, Epic for larger-than-Apocalypse, even modified Necromunda for squad combat.)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799925.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799925.page GMT Getting Started With Planetsrike Article is up on GW's Website
In case you missed those, they contained a history of the Campaign, a timeline etc, a cardboard building or three for the battles, and a series of scenarios to be played through.

And looking at the Cities of Death buildings etc, they are reaonsably priced enough that you put an extra £2 on the price, bung in the booklet about it and biggedy biggedy bong, dual role for the product. Don't have a buddy with the right force for an Imperial V Necron campaign? Not to worry, it's still a luvverly new building (or even just panels if they do it on the cheap) for your collection. Surely thats a win win?

Might fire that off as an idea email to them actually. I'd buy it just for the extra terrain.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/245740/799969.page GMT Getting Started With Planetsrike Article is up on GW's Website lol

The FOC's are pretty slick, but the strongpoints bother me. Not playwise but structurally. I sense a lot of people with LOS-on-the-brain will be stacking piles of books beneath their emplacements to make sure they can aim at things below the the "horizon" of the rooftop.

Defense line is those small walls, right? It's just difficult terrain. Turrets shoot at deep strikers during the enemy movement phase with BS2. I don't remember the bombardment, but I know there is a D6 rolled and either D3 or D6 is taken away or added to it. Then they're placed anywhere on the board as a strength 9 ap 3 large blast that scatters the entire 2D6.

From WD;

Planetfall - Standard Planetstrike Game
Desperate Assault - Defender only has to hold a single objective to claim victory, but attacker also has bastions
Seize and Destroy - Not really clear how this different from the WD description, but it might be a game with only one objective
Stranglehold - Attacker must destroy all of defenders strongholds
Forlorn Hope - Capture the flag basically.
Planetquake - Planet starts to breaks apart, think this one is all about surviving

Thanks for this. I also laugh every time I see angry posts invariably complaining that, "GW just wants to sell us more models!" I see posts like that fairly often.

Secondly, I own the PS book and Lictors are completely superfluous. Raveners are where it's at for Nids. Supply Drop Strategem + Raveners = awesome fun.
