Ninjad!
--------------
I'll be keeping this post updated, so make sure you check it first before posting any "new" info
For those that don't know, Planetstrike is a rumoured Expansion in the same vein and Cities Of Death that will add extra rules to regular 40K games. It appears it will focus on Attacker/Defender type missions with special rules to suit. This could even go so far as to cover Siege warfare.
General Info:
Planet Strike will supposedly be released in July.
Rules:
In a game of Planet Strike, the Attacker/Defender split will be very important, with them possibly getting different FOCs.
Defender
Gets to place all terrain on the battlefield and picks his table edge.
He can declare Terrain to be dangerous if he wants (Mined for example) although it’s not clear how much he can do this for.
There will be buildings with mounted weapons, like armed bunkers etc.
Probably, the defender will have to place all of his army.
Attacker
May place some Craters to get some cover.
May move in from his table edge, Deep Strike and Outflank, similar to a "Dawn of War" Scenario.
May also get some goodies like a prepared Artillery fire on the defending units, special equipment etc.
Will most likely get first Turn.
What the actual Missions will be is yet to be seen.
Releases:
New multipart plastic terrain kit similar to the Cities of Death ruins. With enough of those you will possibly be able to build fortresses, defensive structures for tanks, or control towers, outposts etc.
The Fortress is apparently visible on the Sentinal box.
Aircraft landing pad, apparently with "movable pieces"
New craters
Ironclad Dreadnaught
Land Speeder Storm
Vulkan Hes'tan.
Possibly more Daemons stuff
IG Plastic Stormtroopers/Grenadiers may get a release
Eldar Jetbikes have been mentioned as a slim possibility
Plastic Thunderhawk is again mentioned, and has been rumoured to have been shown to Retail Selling Staff (the guys who sell to independant retailers).

The barricades and landing pad look awesome but unfortunately I am not allowed to show you at this time.
Once again plastic thunderhawk is mentioned.... I will make a call tomorrow and find out more about this.

Why arent you aloud to link them? Its all just been ripped from Warseer  I was just reading it all before. The landing pad is the same one thats been featured in multiple white dwarf pics and battlereports, including the one with the valkyrie. A plastic thunderhawk will be AWSOME hopefully its something that does happen. And yeah... i guess they just sculpted vulkan after his morning shower |

Because just cause they can link it and leak it it does not mean I will as I have been told not too. I got the pics a while ago along with the info but only decided to make this post when seeing it on seer. To me the text aint as bad as leaking pics as pics make it concrete (or near too) I have had to do this with a lot of things for the last 18months.....  On wgamer I see alot of things that get leaked before they are allowed to and it pisses me off no end. At least GW has plans for dealing with this. |

But you're not leaking the pictures, you're merely repeating what someone else has already found.
Meh the joys and sorrows of actually being loved by GW enough to get pre-release info
