    About the game

    Provided by Publisher: Across the battlefields of the 41st Millenium, desperate commanders loose their greatest weapons of war. Classified “Lords of War” by the Imperium of Man, these vast and deadly assets bring a new level of destruction to the galaxy’s eternal war. Warhammer 40,000: Escalation contains full rules for adding super-heavy vehicles and gargantuan creatures to every Warhammer 40,000 army. This means you can now use these massive models in games of Warhammer 40,000 as well as games of Apocalypse. This 96-page, full colour, hardback supplement contains: · A background section introducing Lords of War units and their terrifying impact on the battlefield. · All the rules needed to play with super-heavy vehicles (including Flyers and Walkers) and Gargantuan Creatures, as well as rules for their potent wargear. · An amended force organization chart that allows players to choose Lords of War units as part of their standard Warhammer 40,000 armies. · Datasheets for every plastic super-heavy Citadel miniature, plus a selection of super-heavy vehicles and gargantuan creatures from Forge World. · A showcase of expertly painted Lords of War Citadel miniatures. · New Altar of War and Gauntlet Challenge missions that can be played instead of the Eternal War missions in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. You will need a copy of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook and relevant codexes in order to use the contents of this book.
