Cities of Death - Warhammer 40k Expansion overview

In Warhammer 40k, every world, every planet becomes a battleground. The human race, in the year 40,000, face constant threats from the alien races in the galaxy as well as from the soldiery of Chaos, who are considered to eliminate the Emperor and the Imperium from the face of the galaxy.

In the Warhammer 40k tabletop game, two types of battles commonly occur: long-ranged and close-combat. When Games Workshop launched the Cities of Death expansion pack, however, city street fights became the new talk of the town. The Cities of Death codex is an add-on to the proper 40k rule set.

The 40k Cities of Death expansion pack introduced the rules for city warfare and guerilla warfare into the world of Warhammer 40k. The game commonly deals with combat and cover, combat between separate heights of terrain, and new missions and objectives that are set in an urban environment.

Unlike most settings for Warhammer 40k, the Cities of Death expansion pack requires a lesser amount of extra terrain for each army. The city setting mostly deals with ruined buildings, cathedrals, and forts that work on each army's style of play. The city setting can prove to be both an advantage and disadvantage to 40k players; while the ruined structure can really slow down the enlarge of an attacking army, they can, on the other hand, safe the soldiery by giving them the advantage of Cover Saves.

Indeed, this makes the Warhammer 40k tabletop game more tantalizing for everyone. Also, long-ranged battles become very minute to a few open spaces but fire power still comes in handy when the attackers close-in on their enemies. Often, however, the possessions of structure break down into brutal close-combat battles where only the strong move on.

Finally, the 40k Cities of Death expansion pack also gives hobbyist a wide range of models to work with. From painting the buildings, to designing the urban setting, to adapting the look of the armies to the settings, no other 40k game setting offers hobbyists as many opportunities to show off and enhance their skills. The Cities of Death expansion pack also contains some guides and tips on painting and modeling the terrain and armies, while also being sympathetic to the fact that not every person has the time or is willing to spend so much exertion into building city landscapes.

Overall, Cities of Death provides new and tantalizing opportunities for players, hobbyists, and fans of Warhammer 40k as it takes the urban reality of today into the far time to come filled with war and hostility.
