Apocalypse). Defender buys fortifications with these points (as well as
a few tricks : like a back exit to your bunker to charge the enemy in
the rear). Attacker picks nasty tricks.
Weapons mounted on fortifications can obviously fire upon the enemy
(cannot remember if it's only in the first turn, may be so). Defenders
appear to get a free round of shooting before the game starts..."




b4z gleaned the following from the Planetstrike trailer:

ORGANISING A BATTLE

Setting up a Planetstrike game is different from the standard set-up
process, because all games of Planetstrike use some special rules to
add to the feeling of a planetary invasion. This section will talk you
through the Planetstrike launch procedure and special rules, and lastly
we present terrain rules for the scenery you can use in your
Planetstrike games.

When setting up, simply follow the steps below at the beginning of each
game, and you’ll be ready to decide the fate of the planet. It may seem
like a lot to organise at first, but after a game or two you will have
familiarised yourself with the launch procedure and the whole process
will be quick and easy. Whilst the defender is busily constructing his
lair and deploying his troops, the attacker will have some free time –
perfect for concocting an evil plan, refreshing his memory of the
rules, or just getting the drinks in!

PLANETSTRIKE LAUNCH PROCEDURE

1. Determine attacker and defender
2. Choose forces
3. Select a Planetstrike mission
4. Prepare the battlefield
5. Determine objectives
6. Attacker prepares invasion
7. Determine stratagems
8. Defender deploys forces
9. Attacker launches firestorm
10. Launch the Planetstrike!


1. DETERMINE ATTACKER AND DEFENDER
If you have not already agreed who will play the role of attacker and
who will play the role of defender for your game of Planetstrike,
decide by both rolling a D6 – the winner may choose which role to play.

2. CHOOSE FORCES
Choose your force as normal from the relevant Codex. However, in a
Planetstrike the Force Organisation Charts allow you to take a greater
variety of units.

It is imperative that the first blow on an enemy planet is full of
thunder and fury, sending the foe reeling so that more invaders can
plunge into the fight. Those coordinating a planetary invasion ensure
that their first wave is chock full of the swiftest and deadliest
warriors at their disposal, and the bravest commanders take every
chance to lead from the front.

For this reason the attacker in a game of Planetstrike has bonus Fast
Attack and Elite choices – he is allowed to up to six of each – and an
extra HQ choice to lead his assault. Furthermore troops choices are not
compulsory, meaning you can create a truly terrifying force of elite
soldiers to act as the spearhead of your planetary invasion. When
you’re invading a world, you’ll need every weapon at your disposal to
ensure victory, so don’t hold back!

Attacker’s Forces FOC

Compulsory – 1HQ
Optional – 2 HQ, 6 Troops, 6 Elites
Optional – 6 Fast Attack, 3 Heavy Support

Defending armies usually include the toughest and most resilient units
of all. Tasked with holding the most vital locations against all
comers, the best defenders are not only capable of riding out the
attacker’s initial onslaught, but also able to unleash a series of
punishing counterstrikes and ensure that the impudent invaders are
utterly crushed for their folly.

Defender’s Forces FOC

Compulsory – 1 HQ, 2 Troops
Optional – 2 HQ, 6 Troops, 3 Elites
Optional – 3 Fast Attack, 6 Heavy Support




Scryer in the Darkness tells us the following about step 9:

AP3 large templates, the total being D6 + the number of objectives
determined in step 5.




Terrain has additional effects in Planetstrike.

The Landing Pad can be Shielded, giving a 4+ invulnerable save to
anything on it, or unshielded, allowing you to disembark no matter how
far the transport moved.

Walls give a 4+ cover save, and if you go to ground behind them, you get +2 to cover.

Defender
Gets to place all terrain on the battlefield and picks his table edge.

He can declare Terrain to be dangerous if he wants (Mined for example) although it’s not clear how much he can do this for.

There will be buildings with mounted weapons, like armed bunkers etc.

Probably, the defender will have to place all of his army.

Attacker
May place some Craters to get some cover.

Scryer in the Darkness tells us the attacker can deploy
non-vehicle units by Deep Strike, however units that already have that
ability as standard can assault after DSing. It is possible that this
ability is available to all non-vehicle units, not just those who
already have DS. Clarification is being sought.

There is a new table for rolling for reserves:
Turn 1: 3+
Turn 2: 2+
Turn 3: automatic

All Monstrous Creatures, Infantry units, Jetbikes, Beasts, and Jump
Pack Infantry units can deep strike and assault on the same turn. The
other units are deployed in a more traditional fashion.

May also get some goodies like a prepared Artillery fire on the defending units, special equipment etc.

Will most likely get first Turn.

What the actual Missions will be is yet to be seen.

Stratagems and Assets

generally revolve around buildings and other table emplacements, no
doubt tying in with a lot of the new kits they are releasing. There are
also new deployment stratagems for armies if I got it right.




Thanks to Badger[Fr] we have some details on race specific assets:
-IG: a mass deep-strike ability; a single reserve dice is rolled for
the whole army, but each squad that deep strikes must make a dangerous
terrain test when it lands.

-Dark Eldar: a penalty to enemy leadership equal to the number of turns
passed since the beginning of the game (an interesting bit of
background: it mentions Khaine-worshipping Dark Eldar).

-Imperium: Power of the Machine Spirit. BS 3, unshakable turrets.

-Adeptus Mechanicus: a teleporter beam that kills any model in a
building on a successful armour save, as its flesh melts with the walls.

-Space Marines: when a Drop Pod deep strikes, all enemy units surrounding the landing zone must make a morale test.

-Tau: a massive EMP blast that disables all targeting systems on the
battlefield; all vehicles are now BS 1, but all infantry units gain +1
BS,

-(possibly Ork) basically throwing an asteroid at the enemy

Imperial Bastion New multipart plastic terrain kit similar to
the Cities of Death ruins. With enough of those you will possibly be
able to build fortresses, defensive structures for tanks, or control
towers, outposts etc.

Another pic from White Dwarf:

Chaos Bastion rumoured to be Direct only, and will most likely be the Imperial Bastion with a Spikey Bits sprue.

Temple of Skulls is apparently a Fantasy release around the same time.

Shrine of the Aquila kit is most likely The Dark Angels
Fortification seen in the colour pages above. It's reportedly a
three-part citadel supposedly based on the standard template for
fortresses built by the Dark Angels on many worlds.

A set of "markers" for things like minefields etc.

New craters that are slightly more detailed than the current plastic
ones containing more detailed rubble/corpses etc. No idea as yet of
what they are made from.


Planetstrike also coincides with the Marine Second Wave releases for the following:

Ironclad Dreadnaught (pics of the actual mini appear in the Planetstrike hobby section above):

Vulkan Hes'tan. Mini can be seen here:

http://warseer.com/forums/attachment...6&d=1239143373

Plastic Thunderhawk is again mentioned, and has been rumoured to have
been shown to Retail Selling Staff (the guys who sell to independent
retailers). This looks very unlikely at the moment.

Se devo dire la mia non mi piace molto...anzi quasi per niente direi...Quelo coso sopra la testa,la lancia fatta troppo corta e tozza per i miei gusti..mha speravo in meglio

per il coso sopra la testa basta una sferruzzata di tenaglie e sei a posto :)

Secondo me invece è bella, a parte il mantello bianco e che per colpa dell'armatura potenziata, non sembra un Primate, cioè, scusate, un Primarca, ma un semplice SM tamarro.

Vero :sorr: ..il mantello pero propio nn mi piace...preferivo modificare un techmarine e come mantello quello degli elfi silvani..era moto carino..e la lancia dei grey knight...ci voleva del lavoro ma x me era meglio..il guanto era bello quello di abbadona ma troppo grosso forse

ma infatti non è un primarca :D

Perdonate l'ignoranza ma...chi è questo Vulkan? :libro:

padre della forgia del capitolo delle salamandre

e non sta impersonando il primarca ;)

The_Green_Knight ha scritto:

ma infatti non è un primarca :D

Perchè chi è? ho sempre letto in giro per internet che Vulkan è il Primarca delle Salamandre. Non avendo il codex non so dire chi sia :efef:

questo è vulkan he'stan ^_^

Ogni padre della forgia acquisisce il nome di Vulkan,in onore del primarca

e perde (quasi) il proprio.
viene tenuto solo per distinguerlo ^_^

a me non mi dice niente sta minia,troppo adornata pare un comodino + che uno space marine

Mah... tamarra è tamarra.... Però devo ancora capire bene come diavolo tiene in mano quella lancia... Pare che la tenga come se fosse un giavellotto da scagliare da qualche parte...

A me piace abbastanza,l'elmo non mi piace tanto però è bella come miniatura.Però io avrei messo un maglio al posto della lancia,che Vulkan è senza il martellone? :sorr:

Credo che questo sia l'unico commento sensato che si possa fare su questa miniatura. Non mi piace proprio :xcfvsd:

se la tenesse in mano a giavellotto il dorso della mano dovrebbe essere rivolto verso il basso, sciak ;)

L'unica cosa che non mi piace è proprio la posizione della lancia, comunque sia, belle è bella, ma preferisco il vecchio SM dell'anno scorso


E io ce l'ho ^^

rimango dell'idea che è meglio modificare una minia piuttosto che quel coso...e con i siti da cui trovi le sprue singole a vendere la cosa non è nemmeno troppo costosa

ho sentito dire che uscirà la thunderhawk in plastica, è vero?!?

poi ho visto le immagini delle nuove fortificazione imperilali(torre, muro, laser da difesa aerea) e sono veramente splendide!!!!

E' figherrima. Risveglierà i miei istinti bimbominchieschi, lo so.

notevole!!!

a mio parere doveva essere leggermente + snello,con una lancia + lunga e sottile e pieno di creste di salamandra
