Warhammer 40,000: Altar of War

So anyone bought this? Seems a bit like the old Battle Missions but a collection of stuff published in other data slates etc.

So is it worth it? Anything fun in there? Are the missions applicable to all armies or just the ones they were written for?

The Altar of War Missions are pretty hit and miss. I can't think of any particular examples off the top of my head, but I do know that as I've read through the various Supplements and Dataslates, some of them have seemed really cool, while others just looked terrible.

Theoretically, they're all themed to a specific Army, but most of them are honestly usable with any Armies. There are a few that have Army-specific Special Rules and don't make sense for any other force, tho.

I bought the Eldar & Tyranid missions myself for Altar of War. I must say though that the Tyranid missions are actually very fun. There is one or two that can be hard to play, but it is challenging and a good time.

I may pick this book up down the road from a discount shop.

Cool, not actually hears anyone say anything about the Nod one.

I suppose Battle Missions was a bit of a mixed bag, but alright for some fun friendlies. Might give this a go and the IG codez gets me to that magic £60 for the free mini.

I've read the 'Nid ones, and from a glance, they look quite fun! One gets you to drop Hive nodes for effects like you are infesting a planet, and one makes the enemy come to you to win! My friends and I will try to spend a weekend to run through a couple.

Let me know how it goes, will be interested to find out.
