There’s a new mission deck coming to Warhammer 40k, and Games Workshop have given us a sneak peak.

Revealed today on the Games Workshop website, this new deck contains ‘missions, maps, and more’. It also contains ‘three ways to play matched games of Warhammer 40,000’, with these including Incursion, Strike Force, and Asymmetric War. It also includes deployment maps which offer a ‘better balance’ for 1,000-point Incursion matches; such matches also have new rules and unit restrictions. Optional rules for Asymmetric War will also present players with ‘ever-changing strategic challenges’.
