Warhammer 40K: 6th Edition Starter Missions

There are mere hours left until Games Workshop’s starter-set for Warhammer 40K, Dark Vengeance, will be available for pre-order. If you haven’t had a chance to get an early look at some of the fantastic new Dark Angels and Chaos Space Marine miniatures that will be included, check them out here. And like a last-minute teaser before the pre-orders go up, the missions from the starter appeared online.

The Six Dark Vengeance Missions

There are 6 missions in the booklet enclosed with the starter set, which balance the forces a little I think:

Rampage:
Solo mission designed to be played be a single player, where the player must use the Chaos forces to wittle down the rampaging Hellbrute to a single hull point, after which the Chaos Lord must deactivate it in assault.

The Long & Winding Road:
Solo mission designed to be played be a single player, where the player must use the Ravenwing Bike squadron to survive 3 successive waves of Chaos Cultsts.

Ambush:
Small scale ambush by a handful of Dark Angels against a large force of Chaos Cultists. To represent the ambush, the Chaos player cannot declare a charge, go to ground or fire Overwatch in the first turn, and can only fire Snap Shots the first turn.

Psychic Storm:
Introduction of the Librarian. Dark Angels go against a larger force of Chaos Cultists, with staggered reinforcements such as the Deathwing and Chosen coming in on fixed turn numbers.

Firefight:
First mission to use all the models in the set, basic victory points for destroyed units, with the HQs and Hellbrute being worth more points.

The Hellfire Stone:
Seems to be similair to the Relic mission from the base rule book.

Mission rumours by RedemptionNL from Warseer

Definitely a change from the 5th Edition Box Assault on Black Reach. Introducing the Librarian was an expected move, which will get the psychic rules into the starter. Having a solo mission also sounds fun.
