    Please note, this supplement is currently only available in English language.

    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.

    Escalation book in hand.

    - For Standard (what some refer to as
    "regular") Warhammer 40,000
    - Not Expansion (like Planetstrike, Cities
    of Death, etc)
    - Lord of War choice is optional (like Fortifications,
    Allies)
    - Lord of War Rules: If you use a Lord of War your
    opponent receives a +1 bonus to Seize the Initiative and for every 3 Hull Points
    or Wounds you cause on a Lord of War choice you gain +1 (like Slay the Warlord,
    First Blood, etc).
    - I won't go into details concerning the data
    sheets but don't expect Reavers, Mantas or Hierophants.
    - Str D weapons, AV 15 and all other Apocalypse based rules remain the
    same, but now crossover to Standard ("regular") Warhammer
    40,000.
    - No Imperial titans.

    Armoured bastions and towering bulwarks stand as imposing sentinels on almost every battleground in the 41st Millennium. To assault such fortifications is invariably to charge in the face of death, and only the most determined army has any hope of survival.

    Warhammer 40,000: Stronghold Assault provides a plethora of background material and rules to turn any game of Warhammer 40,000 into full-blown siege warfare.

    This 48-page, full colour, hardback supplement contains:

    · New art, background, and timeline entries conveying the horror of siege warfare in the 41st Millennium.
    · 17 fortifications datasheets for the full range of Warhammer 40,000 scenery that can be used by any Warhammer 40,000 army.
    · Updated rules for buildings and fortifications for games of Warhammer 40,000.
    · Additional rules for weapons and battlefield debris.
    · Includes three new Siege War 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.

    Books both in hand.

    The Aquila Strongpoint does mount strength D weapons, but is still exploded on a 2+ on the Strength D table. No special defenses against Strength D weapons, though at AV15 (!) and -1 on the damage table, it's rough to take down with just about anything else.

    That said, there's also terrain which projects void fields, which each soak a destroyer hit...

    Stronghold Assault book has rules for kits that haven't been released yet, even if it's just a couple of 'em. (void shields...)
