| Great news for fans of Planetstrike, the Warhammer 40,000 expansion - It's back in 7th Edition!. Originally released back in 2009 as part of the 5th Edition, Planetstrike depicts WH40K battles centred around planetary invasions. This will have more than a few people buzzing! But that's not the only expansion this week, there's also the preview of the Sanctus Reach narrative campaign centred around an Ork WAAARGH - and this, my eager friend, is where the new Planetsrike rules and missions are found. There's also a look at some more Imperial Knight household schemes, how to plan a crusade and also a look at the new datasheets synonymous with the new Ork Codex. Do you want to know more? + + More After The Jump + + ~ WARNING - I am not a photographer, so expect dodgy pictures below |
So Santus Reach is the next big thing it seems.
It's been a while since there has been a large campaign, especially with their own books.
Games Workshop are obviously looking at this lasting for a while.

If you're excited by Sanctus Reach, then you'll probably be a fan of this deluxe set. It's the Sanctus Reach Volume 1 set which gives you "The Red WAAARGH" plus the "Evil Sun Rising" novel. It's a nice set and with the recent hardcovers and deluxe sets, would certainly look at home with them. Sadly, this set is only in small format - AND pretty expensive for a shrunk down version in a slip case.
If you weren't into the hobby in 2009, there's a brief introduction to the concept here nicely put together my Jervis Johnson - the man, the enigma!
Double 'Eavy Metal this week with two really nice models and the dudes who painted them. Interesting to see Lizardmen turning up everywhere recently - I wonder if they might be a sleeper release later in the year? They could do some better miniatures.

Narrative campaigns have a long tradition in Games Workshop - it's the way the Tyranids were introduced into the universe in fact. This article is all about linking missions together to form narrative campaigns. How each mission will effect the greater whole - a planet, a civilisation, whatever really is such a cool idea!
Paint Splatter - you have an article worth reading! Excitement knows no bounds! Here they look at glazes. So if glazing is your thing - read this. It's actually quite handy.

The Imperial Knight is one of the coolest kits GW have release for some time - so this look at some more Household colour schemes is cool! Some nice inspiration for Knight fans out there.
Tanks! The backbone of the Imperial Guard/ Astra Militarum. Here we look at the formation involved in the Sanctus Reach campaign (of course available from Games Workshop) and also a look at the way datasheets will be done from now on. My local GW guy was telling me this morning that the younger players are finding this a lot easier to follow than the older version. The way of the future?
Hello Phil Kelly! Here's Phil talking about the initial forces involved in Sanctus Reach, the beginning of a larger campaign across the WH40K universe. Anyone say "Knights"? | 
There's also a look at Alaric Prime, the planet that plays host to the beginning of the Sanctus Reach campaign and it's Knightly Household. Great piece of art too - have a close look! |
Verdict
There is a lot to go for in this issue - probably one of the most packed to date. Get on it!
Will you be getting on board Sanctus Reach? What about it excites you? What army will you be building to take to war?
