Opis
Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse is a game of massive battles set in the grim
darkness of the far future. If you’ve ever wanted to field an entire Space
Marine Battle Company or household of Imperial Knights (and more besides), then
this is the game for you!
As with Battle-forged armies in Warhammer
40,000, your collections are organised into any of 10 different types of
Detachment (and each led by a Commander) that move and fight together on the
battlefield. Each Detachment also gains a Faction Ability, enabling you to
theme your army by Detachment and include narrative-driven alliances within
it.
The innovative rules for Apocalypse enable you to play massive
battles to completion in a matter of hours. Alternating Detachment activations
ensures that there is minimal downtime for players, maintaining the fast-paced
and exciting action throughout. Damage is resolved in the final phase of each
game turn, meaning that even units that are destroyed will still have a chance
to make their mark on the battle before they succumb.
In each turn,
players issue Advance, Aimed Fire or Assault orders in secret to each of their
Detachments, giving them a chance to bluff, surprise and outmanoeuvre their
opponents with their choices.
Each player constructs a deck of 30
Command Assets (from a choice of 300 included in the set), including a number of
faction-specific cards, enabling them to pull off strategic power plays as the
battle unfolds. These effects include devastating psychic powers, changes of
orders and crucial re-rolls.
There are six Apocalypse missions to
choose from, as well as a mission generator with which to create your
own.
This set contains:
– 120-page Apocalypse Field Manual
(including full game rules)
– 6 punchboard sheets of double-sided Apocalypse
gameplay tokens
– 300 Command Asset cards
– 12 six-sided dice
– 12
twelve-sided dice
