<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Thoughts about Battle Missions?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Thoughts about Battle Missions? GW and pick up Battle Missions, anybody else had a chance to thumb through it yet?
I've just spent the last hours and a bit reading it cover to cover, and I'm fething impressed over all! I wasn't expecting it to be this good, although I havn't had played any games using it yet. A few of the missions seem a little similar, and most of them are just "Sieze Ground + 1 Special rule" they look like welcome addition, and I don't think anyone is going to complain at an elevenfold increase in variety for games.

Both Witch and Deamon Hunters aren't included in it, and there are no specific missions for each SM codex, although there is mention that they will be making more and publishing them in White Dwarf and on GW's website.

Another thing I noticed was on pg 79 (anyone else who has a copy), Is that a new ethereal model? I'm not overly familiar with Tau, but I don't recognise it.

What does anyone else who's looked through it have to say about? I can imagine some of the missions being a little unbalanced, but there's not one mission in the book I wouldn't want to give a go a couple of times. Am I just getting over excited at finally having such a wealth of variety? Or is everyone else just as impressed as me?

And that does look like a new etheral, now if they could get some new rules....]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1389752.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1389752.page GMT Thoughts about Battle Missions? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1389895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1389895.page GMT Re:Thoughts about Battle Missions?
I wasn't blown away, but it is what it advertised it was.

I would have liked a modified KP system, a set of stratagems for use in regular scenario play, etc. but whatever...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1390860.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1390860.page GMT Thoughts about Battle Missions?

I did a quick overview of all the missions yesterday. It's over in 40K discussions.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1390879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1390879.page GMT Thoughts about Battle Missions? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1390916.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1390916.page GMT Thoughts about Battle Missions?

Played the Kill Team mission this afternoon w/ my son. We amended it to "205pts' because that allow a basic 5 man terminator squad w/ H. flamer... He gave sgt. furious charge and heavy flamer feel no pain. One fo the other terminators had preferred enemy(orks).

I gave Nob eternal warrior.

I had 25 orks with a nob(P. klaw and h. armour) and two big shootas....

I ended up forcing him to run...

It was a nice quick variant way to play.

We ave plans to revert to straight 200pts. next time as he has an idea for a tactical squad based kill team...

I don't want to be one of these people that winges on about how much better things were in the old days but I really miss the "here's how to make your own ...." sections that RT had. I know there are a few paragraphs at the back about how to make your own missions but I'd have been far happier to have some skeleton missions you could flesh out with what ever points you had around.

It'll be nice to see if any of the new codexes on the horizon break any of the missions tho.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1391163.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/282830/1391163.page GMT
