Warhammer 40, has a new tabletop game type, which launched in January, based around boarding parties that can be played with Citadel miniatures. Boarding Actions is a point game mode, accompanied with a book full of lore to explain why your miniatures are duking it out. A new, more compact way to make your miniatures fight is always interesting, but Arks of Omen also adds intriguing lore spread across four books, only one of which has been released so far. The first book, Arks of Omen: Abaddon , sets the stage, and it looks like the 40K universe is about to get even spicier. Instead of large-scale battlefields, Boarding Actions is based around smaller boarding parties fighting through the claustrophobic environments of enemy ships, like the new and mysterious Balefleet. The Arks of Omen plot explains why Boarding Actions are happening, and sets up tons of lore around the mode. One is a longtime veteran of the setting and a terrifying Chaos Space Marine, and the other is an intriguing new daemon demigod. Abaddon the Despoiler, the Warmaster of every corrupted and disloyal Space Marine, wants to take down the Imperium of Man and become a new, better Emperor — with anarchism and feats of strength!

Just like Chaos Marines in the last book, most of the rules here key off what god your Daemons are affiliated with, which will limit the number of options you have to you. The motivations seemed neat, the angle for chaos dominion was cool, and the model ripped shit. This is, unfortunately, very situational given that you have to be able to see your target unit to intervene on them, but could be very nasty when that situation shows up. The missions themselves are a little vanilla for what could have been such a cool set-piece, but they do include some neat twists like having teleporters between parts of the ship or booby-trapping certain hatchways. Boy, this sure would be a bad time for an old enemy like the Tyranids to suddenly attack on completely the opposite side of the galaxy from usual, worryingly close to Holy Terra, huh? Some of them are fine standing alone, though several of the missions here seem like they were written without really considering that someone might play them outside the context of the suggested campaign structure, and they suffer a bit for that. Norman: Before getting into the lore here I gotta set the stage a bit. This datasheet is frustration incarnate. Overall, unless you want to run the campaign front to back, this mission set is very skippable. Now what about that power fluctuation? As usual in the Arks books, we get some faction rules for Boarding Activities. Credit: Rockfish. Get help.

When not pressing buttons at Wargamer HQ, you can often find him impatiently painting miniatures ; half-finishing strategy board games against himself; or drinking lager in the bath with a Horus Heresy audiobook playing. On balance, Daemons will have fewer enhancements available to them than a similarly-aligned Chaos Marines force, but the extra flexibility they can squeeze out of their god-agnostic strats probably makes up for it. In the context of every other faction, the Genestealer Cults have a solid and flavorful set of rules that players will likely have a lot of fun with. Narrator: This was a mistake. Having trouble getting your Skorpekh Lord through the twisting corridors of the space hulk and into combat? This game mode acts as a bridge between the larger-scale battles in Warhammer 40k 9th Edition and the smaller squad-based Kill Team system — while nodding at the earlier Warhammer 40k tabletop game Space Hulk. Warhammer 40k Arks of Omen is a book series, released by Games Workshop in to advance the evolving narrative of Warhammer 40k. Big Azrael was just going to have a snack, and then get right back to work. I decided there and then I was ride or die Vashtorr. Tyranids come to Boarding Actions with a suite of powerful rules. Anything you wanted to use this on will have ended its turn in line of sight to Vashtorr who will almost certainly have killed him. Goonhammer Reads: Master and Commander. Kill Team: Legionaries. Players familiar with Warhammer 40k will find new restrictions forcing them to adapt their tactics and army composition in Boarding Actions. The set up for this book is that Vashtorr needs to get into the Dark Angels super-spaceship, The Rock, in order to recover another MacGuffin for his master plan.
