Warhammer 40K Missions

In this section we will have a look at the missions printed in the Warhammer 40k Rulebook, the Warhammer 40k Battle Missions book, and any printed in White Dwarf too.

As always, to make the best use of these notes you will needs a copy of the rules, or at least access to them.

The Warhammer 40k Rulebook Missions

The Warhammer 40k rulebook comes with 9 missions. There are 3 different mission types, and a 3 different table layouts.

It is well worth studying the Warhammer 40k Rulebook missions. These are the mission you will be playing 90% of the time.

These missions appear in the hard cover Warhammer 40k Rulebook, and the cut down 40k Rulebook that comes with the Assault on Black Reach starter box set. 

The Mission Types

There are three Warhammer 40k Battle Mission types in the Warhammer 40k Rulebook. One where you have to 'capture' different objectives in the center of the table, one where you start with one objective each and you need to defend one and capture the other, and the last one that is a full-on blood bath.

Each of these Warhammer 40k Battle Mission could be56  played on one of three table layouts, 'Pitched Battle' where you start from the table edges, 'Spear Head' where the two armies start from opposite table quaters, and 'Dawn of War' where each army takes the half the tabl each, split long ways. You normally play along the long edge as is allows the armies to engage earlier, and it is easier for War Game convensions where you may have rows of tables.

The Warhammer 40k Battle Missions

In addition to the missions you can find in the Warhammer 40k Rulebook, you can also purchase additional missions published in the Warhammer 40k Missions book.
