![]() This all looks really fun and I’m looking forward to trying some multiplayer games out with the rest of the Sprues and Brews team.ĭo you want to see those spoilers? If so scroll on…Īs the story begins we learn that one of the last and perhaps most critical of key fragments that Vashtorr has been seeking lies buried on world within the T’au Empire. There are rules to help determine a suitable turn order and deployment entry zones in addition to some small modifications to the shooting phase rules to accomadate the additional players. This includes 4 players (either 2v2 or free for all), 3 players (free for all) or 2 players. In addition there a whopping twelve missions that have been specifically designed for a variety of different player count multiplayer games. as they combine the two sides, representing the fact that the parts of the ship these maps represent are twisted labyrinths and ramshackle in nature. At the start of a game each player will combine their chosen maps together to form the complete battlefield and it’s quite possible for one player to block hatchways and openings with walls etc. Each map shows the location of the different terrain features and objective markers. Alongside the mission briefing itself are selection of ‘half-sized’ mission maps from which each player must choose when building their army. ![]() We also get a new mission, “Dark Depths” which can be used to represent boarding actions deep in the unexplored and warp-riddled hearts of the mights space ships. The T’au Empire, Asuryani/Ynnari, Drukhari, Harlequins and Adepta Sororitas all get a selection of Adaptions, Enhancements and Stratagems allowing you to more fully utilise these factions in your games of Boarding Actions. Either way I really enjoyed the story in this book, it was great to read about events from the perspective of both T’au and the Orks and I am looking forward to seeing how this story ultimately concludes!įirstly we get some new faction specific rules which expand upon the free rules that Games Workshop provide for download on the Warhammer Community website. Throughout the book Commander Farsight must not only contend with the Orks and approaching Chaos force but also with his own inner daemons as he wrestles with his past.Īs ever we do not want to reveal any spoilers so we will save them until the bottom of this post, if you want to read the spoilers just scroll past the rules section below. But Chaos are not the only players in this chapter of the Ark of Omens story as we learn that Commander Farsight is embroiled in a battle for survival against a might Ork opponent. Vashtorr and Abaddon’s ongoing quest to secure the component parts to Vashtoor’s promised ‘super weapon’ sees them dispatch an Ark of Omen and accompanying forces to the Eastern Fringe where perhaps the most important and critical key fragment can hopefully be retrieved. Now we come on to book itself which continutes the story already laid out in the previous ‘Ark’ books. Again, this has been a really fun addition to the game and a refreshing breath of fresh air as we get to the end of 9th edition. In addition to containing new lore, the books have also introduced and expanded the Boarding Actions game mode, which allows players to enact small scale fights onboard spacecraft. Games Workshop have absolutely nailed it with these edition bridging story series, and Arks of Omen in my opinion has been some of the most fun 40k lore we have seen in a long time. So we come to the main event, Arks of Omen Vashtorr! Like the Broken Realms series for Age of Sigmar before it, I’ve been a massive fan of the Arks of Omen series.
