Altar of War Mission Books on I-products

[Denzark]

Has anybody else noticed this from GW - I couldn't see a thread here. This is the description for the Marine Book:

Altar of War missions provide all the information required to play games inspired by the battlefield tactics of the different Warhammer 40,000 armies. This book contains six brand-new missions which you can use instead of the Eternal War missions in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook if you or your opponent has a Space Marine army, allowing you to fight the daring lightning assaults, surprise planetfall attacks and heroic last stands of the Emperor’s Space Marines.



Also one for Tau and I think DA up there. Basically a re-hash of battle missions, for 6th ed, at £4.99 a pop.

Seems there is a Chaos one, don't know if there is one for each. I would buy this in real paper, to replace the awesomeness of battlemissions, but the i-reviews aren't that promising.

Just added the third android tablet to the family collection.
I'm pretty upset (still) that these products aren't available on my platform.

Upset seems an odd word to choose, from a business point of view, supporting android with these books would be tricky at the moment, possibly more trouble than its worth depending on sales numbers

Orks³ Do tell...

It's got some non-standard missions that really fit with the fluff of how space marines fight, makes narrative gaming great, not sure it's going to be as fun for competitive players, because the missions aren't always fair for both sides

How many missions to a pack?

[OrksOrksOrks]

I think they all have 6, its expensive, but if you play them all, thats hours of entertainment for your money, well worth it IMHO

[Mr Mystery]

Not bad, not bad at all.

Still, need to get an iPad first. I have not tableture type device at all!

I love mine, use it every day, loads of great board games available for it too, as well as some excellent tools for wargaming and D&D

I picked up the Tau one. I've not played any games with them yet, but the scenarios provide a bit of a twist to the usual way of playing and give you a bit of a 'flavour' of how x army fights. The scenario special rules aren't really anything people couldn't come up with themselves with a bit of thought, but if you fancy some ready made ones, it's worth a pop for a fiver.
