Cover-2-Cover: Apocalypse...

Hello all,

Hopefully some time this weekend I will be able to post up my Cover-2-Cover review of GW's latest attempt to make money - the Apocalypse rulebook 40K expansion.

I intend for this review to be far more positive than my Chaos Codex review, mainly because I like the Apocalypse book (and the Chaos Codex is a stinking pile of human waste), so my usual rampant cyncism will be contained to the bits I find particularly funny.

Furthermore, whilst Disco Stu will continue to post up his tactics and strategies for 4th Edition rules, we shall all soon venture into the world of Warhammer 40,000 Revisited - the game system, based upon 3rd and 4th Ed 40K, that we wrote in direct responce to the endless crap rules coming out of Games Workshop.

This game has been in development and testing for as long as 4th Ed has been around, and we have a good stable of Codices to go with it. They're not a dramatic departure from the current ruleset, but they do iron out a number of the wrinkles in the rules as well as add a few fun things in to make games more interesting (vehicles and squads being able to fire at different targets is probably the main one).

One of our co-writers, and the owner of the largest Eldar army in living memory, shall elaborate on this soon. After we've introduced you all to that, we will then go into examples of gameplay to show the mechanics of how this system works within the game.

Until then, my review shall be out soon... I hope.

Will this be up soon? I read your review of the Chaos Codex and in addition to finding it an enjoyable read, I also saved myself some disappointment. Instead I bought the discounted 3rd edition book (we only play friendly games in my area anyways).

Also, where can I find your Codex: Guard review?
