Getting Started with Warhammer 40k – if you’ve got some models already and are looking to finally give the game a try, start here. If you’re a veteran of 8th edition and haven’t played a game of 9th yet due to the pandemic, then we’ve got everything you need to catch up on everything you missed.Ĥ0k is a complicated game, and if you’re interested in where to start or looking for what changed from the prior edition, this is where you’ll find what you’re looking for. Much, much stuff for making your games more interesting.Welcome to Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition! Whether you’re brand new to the game or a veteran of hundreds of miniature battles, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know about playing the game and improving. In the end, we also get two pages on multiplayer battles including special rules and a surprisingly good section on campaign gaming. On top of that the Planetstrike, Cities of Death, Stronghold Assault and Death from the Skies found their way into this book as a four page mini-supplement each. If that wasn’t enough to make games more varied and interesting GW also included extra special conditions in Night Fighting, Fire and Fury (taking place amidst a cataclysmic battle in the sky and on the ground) and Psychic Maelstrom. Those you can use to buy Stratagems, which are little perks either based on and listed next to the specific mission or generic ones, giving re-rolls or other niceties. The more restrictive your detachment the more command points you receive in return. That being said, all Imperial units have the Imperium faction for example, meaning you could mix Blood Angels and Sisters of Battle within the same detachment. Detachments come with certain restrictions (in most cases just the fact that they must be of the same faction. The red choices are mandatory minimum, the rest is optional. These basically work like the old Force Organization Charts. It starts with Detachments, the lines along which Battle-Forged armies have to be organized. This section mostly contains more rules on various ways of deploying, making up missions and scenarios and so on. These offer a variety of objectives, from “control a specific objective for two consecutive turns for X victory points” over “kill a flying enemy unit” to “score X victory points for having units in the enemy deployment zone”. For each of them you roll for their specific rules (out of 56 possible outcomes) for what you have to achieve to gain victory points from this specific objective. On top of this: Tactical Objectives, usually 6 per game are put on the table. 
In this section we get another 12 missions which are more suited for armies of equal size.
Warhammer 40k 8th edition rules review plus#
This one uses the regular old points values plus Detachments (= “Battle-Forged” armies) and Command Points. Matched Play – That’s the one you’ll read about online, along with endless discussions about points, why unit X is “unplayable right now” and such. This section also introduces the concept of Battle-Forged armies which are elaborated on in the Advanced rules. Narrative Play – In this section we get six thematic scenarios with an attacker and a defender and a few scenario-specific special rules, and even a historical battle! This feels like a mid-way between just throwing your models on the table and calculating exact points values.
