Gary over at Faeit 212 has put together a 13 minute video. Put the kettle on and give yourselves 10-15 minutes or so to enjoy this.
It does look like a great buy to spice up 40k games. It doesn’t look like the word count is very high, but there are lots of pictures of miniatures which can’t be a bad thing.
I hope to be giving a run down on most of the changes in Apocalypse without given away the contents of the whole book.
Forge World have relased an updated version of the Death Korps of Krieg Siege Regiment for free download from their website.
Download it quick before it gets incorporated in to a Imperial Armour release and removed from the website.

Rules from the Apocalypse book are starting to surface. Below are a few of the more important points.
Source: Apocalypse40k
The imperial Teaver and Warhound are not in the formation section, but are in the book.
Flank march is confirmed to only work for a single formation entering from reserve. It works on any table edge.
Each Structure point are still worth three Hull points however you only need to count hull points not hull points and structure points. An explode result on the damage table removes 1+D3 hull points.
Super heavy vehicles are not effected by shaken, stunned, weapon destroyed or immobilised.
When the last hull point is removed there is a 15″ explosion which is stronger nearest the vehicle and get week every 5″. The intensity of the explosion also varies from strength 2 to strength D; depending on the result of a roll on a D3. This is quite normal for weapons that use the 15″ apocalypse template.
When a vehicle is hit by a D weapon you on a new table instead. No saves of any kind can be used.
1= penetrating hit.
2-5= Explode! (Super heavies lose D3+1 hull points)
6= Explode! (Super heavies lose D6+6 hull points)
Against other models (includeding gargantuan creatures)
1 = Shot has no effect
2-5=D3+1 wounds
6 = D6+6 wounds
We thought it was all over, but it appears Chapterhouse haven’t given up on defending their models.
In response to a question on Bell of lost souls about if Chapter House Studios would continue to sell the Techmarine conversion beamer. Nick said “Put that item in the “weird and made no sense” jury rulings, I’m hoping it gets appealed successfully.”
This obviously indicates ChapterHouse intend to appeal the existing ruling, in part at least.
He cites the fact that when Chapter House started selling this Kit, Games Workshop where not selling any conversion beamers. They do now have the forge world kit.
Games Workshop did make a conversion beamer in the rouge trader days. If they sold this in the US, then they should then have a trademark for war games products with the name conversion beamer.
This shouldn’t stop Chapterhouse making something that looks different and given it a different name. Such as the Thunderstrike Missle rack, which is clearly meant to be an alternative to a cyclone missile luncher.
Chapter House Studios Cyclone alternative
The Chapterhouse Studios conversion beamer, no longer available for sale.
Games Day tickets are selling out fast. With only 4000 places if you want to attend the biggest event on the Games Workshop you need to act fast. If you havn’t decided if you want to go. Check out this video of last year, by orkwarlord2.
I recommend forwarding to 2 minutes in.
