TheyР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›re pretty neat, but I havenР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t gone through them in detail yet. These are just more cards for building decks with. There are a few cool Command Assets that work across enemy factions however, such as Ancient Doom, which can be used by Eldar or Slaaneshi units. This seems like a power imbalance to me right now, or just general laziness on the developersР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС› parts. In addition to the large group of universal Command Assets, Space Marines and Chaos Space Marines get the most Assets out of the factions, while some factions like Chaos Knights and Custodes only end up with a few unique cards. As you might have guessed, the cards arenР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t evenly-distributed by faction. Getting everything out of its packaging took a few minutes, and sorting the cards (plus the additional Command Assets) only took a few more. The big downside is that these dividing spaces arenР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t wide enough for sleeved cards, which is something I wish more game companies would take into account. One of these gets used for the universal Command Assets.

There are enough slots for every faction in the game, plus two extras (well, depending on how you want to divide them, but I put Sisters of Silence with Custodes). One cool upside to the box is that it comes with a plastic organizational insert, so you can put all of your cards and tokens in the box for storageР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†Р вЂљРЎС™I love this. Pretty much all the tokens youР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ll ever need unless you are getting to games so big you need to play SUPERPOCALYPSE, with even more streamlined rules I have no idea how the D12s roll or if theyР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ll need to be replaced like all of my other standard GW dice. The dice are pretty much GW standard D6s, plus a handful of D12s. The photo doesnР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t show it, but there are two sheets of the large blast markers/objective markers to punch out. The tokens are pretty solid quality and you get a ton of them.

It also came with a QR code for a free chapter of a novel, but IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›m not gonna read that. So there isnР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t a *ton* to say here, but IР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ll run through the contents and whatР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s nice about them anyways. ItР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s a solid box that comes with a rulebook, some dice, a bunch of punch-out tokens, and a bunch of Command Asset cards. Games Workshop was pretty up-front about what comes in the Apocalypse Box. WeР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ll talk about what we like, what we donР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t like, and what we think some of the key strategies will be for players looking to tackle Apocalypse competitively. WeР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ll cover everything that comes in the box, plus the gameР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›s ruleset. In this post, weР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›re going to do a thorough unboxing of Apocalypse, from cards to rules. But how does the final game stack up, now that we have the rules in-hand? And is it worth buying the box or the accessories? Anything that can make games of that size fun and manageable is something weР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›re absolutely in for.

So when Games Workshop announced new Apocalypse rules designed to streamline the process and make Apocalypse games take considerably less time, we at Goonhammer were psyched.

Suffice to say, the reality doesnР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›t live up to the hype. 8 hours later, theyР В Р вЂ Р В РІР‚С™Р Р†РІР‚С›РЎС›ve played two whole turns. While players start imagining massive battles the moment they start playing, the reality is that massive games of Warhammer 40k have traditionally been a slog, being 6+ hour affairs where players stand around waiting for their opponents to finish moving and shooting, only to lose their largest units before they ever have a chance to be used. Large games of Warhammer 40,000 have always been cooler in theory than in execution. Warhammer 40,000: Apocalypse Review and Unboxing
