 Adam Troke How would your Imperial Guard army fare if called to fight in a lightning assault, more commonly associated with the Adeptus Astartes? Would you be able to mount a fighting withdrawal with a Tyranid horde? This March sees the release of Battle Missions, a new expansion book for Warhammer 40,000 that is packed full of scenarios and promises to test the generalship and tactical flexibility of every general to the limit. Battle Missions is a fantastic gaming aid for every Warhammer 40,000 player. The scenarios featured within Battle Missions are all based on the styles of warfare preferred by the armies of the 41st Millennium. With thirty Battle Missions and three Special Missions there's countless hours of exciting wargaming to be had. Alongside the next expansion book we're also set to unleash a slew of new miniatures for you to add to your armies, including new kits for the Space Marines, Orks and the Imperial Guard. Keep your eyes on White Dwarf, and the Games Workshop website for more.

Is this a new e-mail being sent around, as I haven't had it yet.
Also, plastic Vostroyans a possibility? Maybe? Please?

No, it's on their site. I just follow their tweets and their facebook updates.
And nope, no plastic Vostroyans.
I am bloody surprised though that the fourth 40k supplement book in a row features the Imperial Guard on the cover.
Thank you GW, thank you.

This has been a long time coming now, Jervis has been hinting at this book two or three years ago as being a pet project of the Studio. Personally I'm keenly looking forward to this, especially the racially specific scenarios presented.

Or they want to distract us from something. Either or.

The book sounds interesting, reminds me of the many pages of scenarios in the 3rd edition rulebook. Hopefully it turns out well.

I'm thinking that with racially specific missions we'll be getting more special stuff as mentioned in the examples mentioned above, not a rehash of old missions.

I think they'd re-hash the popular old ones Brookman, and bring in a bunch of brand new ones.

So would I, but if you want people to crack open the book, you need something they will take wholesale. Meat Grinder/Cleanse should do that.
Bury 'em in the book, and don't expand the concepts behind them, and you should get people to look at the new missions somewhat seriously.
But new missions = good.
