Warhammer 40K Spearhead

The next Warhammer 40K expansion is Spearhead which focusses on mechanised armies and enormous tank battles. If Warhammer 40K wasn't mechanised enough, Spearhead is a tread head's dream come true.

Of course, it's a great opportunity for Games Workshop to sell more tanks than ever and we can only cross our fingers that some of the Apocalyptic Formations boxes return so we can by our tanks in bulk discount once more.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the revamped Space Marine Predator with rumours of its improved sponsons. I think these will be the same as on the new Baal Predator for the Blood Angels, but the weapon mounts still don't have a lower support like the Land Raider sponsons. Still, they can't be any more flimsy than the current heavy bolter and lascannon Predator sponsons.

So as another supplement bolsters the Warhammer 40K game, it's becoming ever clearer that Games Workshop is promoting massive armies.

Previously we talked about choosing a 40K army, not just a 1500 points list to trounce your mates with. It seems more and more advantageous for players to choose a single army and build that and nothing else 'til kingdom come.

Then you would have this massive army which would allow me to comfortably play Apocalypse, Planetstrike, Battle Missions and now Spearhead.
Just some food for thought.

Warhammer 40K Spearhead is arriving in June and will bring even more missions to the game. I wonder what Tyranids will get instead of tanks? Probably more monstrous creatures.
