Aside from the massive number of defensive datasheets coming in this book it’s also combining the 3 previous 40k Expansions (Planetstrike, Stronghold Assault and Cities of Death) into one book. Not only will this cut down on the number of things to carry, but it will also allow players to create linked narrative campaigns that really cover the different stages of Planetary Conquest!

As I’ve said before, I’m a sucker for a good campaign system. I’m curious to take a look at all the different missions and their rules for an entire Planetary Onslaught Campaign. Now if we could just get some other terrain for the other xenos armies…

Will you be the unstoppable aggressor or the unyielding defender in your next Planetary Onslaught Campaign?
