So the list of formations grows. Also, you should note that strategic assets that are listed in Imperial Armour books that are not in the new Apocalypse rulebook, are no longer valid. Go ahead and house rule them as you see fit. But technically they don't exist anymore! We had this come up in our game this weekend. So make sure you have a good rules discussion first before you start playing. We sat down for half an hour and walked through the book and it helped a ton.

I would love to review my copy... but instead of a collectors edition I got the Strategic Asset Cards, Targeting Templates, and a Vortex Template. Now to GW's credit they are sending my a collector edition set and said I can keep the other stuff... But I was so looking forward to reading the new Apoc stuff while on my business trip this week. :(
ReplyDeleteWow, nice of GW to shaft those of us who didn't shell out the extra $$ once again... I can imagine new data sheets to NOT be posted free on their website but available for download for an un-reasonable fee later on...

ReplyDeleteGW have made it clear in several places that Pandorax is only limited to the Collectors edition for a short space of time and will be released as a stand alone Warzone supplement after a while which yes of course you will have to pay for, GW aren't a charity and having received my collectors edition yesterday and seen the quality with my own eyes the warzone supplements will easily be worth the cash and I can't wait to find out what other warzones will be covered in the series along with what other formations/ Apoc only vehicles will be released.
Next time maybe do some research or at least have some more realistic expectations before jumping in with the usual GW bashing.
Mmm commisariat squad I haven't seen that since 2 edition. Very cool I deffinatly have enough commissars for a squad.
