Additionally, we intend to convert several mission from the Age of Sigmar Path to Glory for use in this campaign. You are commenting using your WordPress.

Skip to content Home Warhammer 40k 8th edition universal path to glory V1. Introduction: The intention of this campaign is to allow players to play using the path to glory game style with models outside of the Chaos model line.
Starting a Warband: each player selects their faction keyword and then begins to construct their warband. Players must have a single HQ in their army that is not a unique or named character.
Growing a warband: After players have completed a game their warband grows by increasing the total Power Rating of the warband. The player that won the game gains 2D6 power to their warbands rating. A Captain should not be able to benefit from the deeds of a Scout!
What can you do with Prestige Points? Prestige Points can earn you a number of benefits, making a lowly Tactical Squad Sergeant into a man rivaling the power of a Captain.
Characteristic Limits: However, characteristics may not be increased beyond maximum limits as shown on the characteristic profile below.
If one of the two characteristics indicated by the advance roll has already reached its maximum level, you must take the other. If you roll a 2 or 12 on the chart above then you can make a roll on any of the Skill Tables on the following pages. Otherwise, your Character is restricted to specific Skill Tables depending upon their faction and whether they are a Sergeant or an HQ. Once you have picked a chart, roll a D3.
Results already owned by a Character may be re-rolled. This roll may also be taken after a Feel No Pain roll. He may move and leap, run and leap or charge and leap, but he can only leap once during the turn. A leap will take the model over any manhigh obstacle without penalty, including enemy models. In addition, the model can leap out of hand-to-hand combat at the end of any hand-to-hand combat phase without suffering any penalty whatsoever.
The leap cannot be re-rolled with the Fleet USR. The leap ability cannot be used if any weapons have been fired in the same phase.
This ability does not apply to charges or movement made in the Assault Phase. Combat Skills 1 Disarm: The model may use this skill against one close combat opponent at the Fight subphase. Roll a D6. If the model is Wounded in the Fight subphase roll a D6.
If this roll is used you cannot use the Dodge skill located in the Agility Skill tree. Ferocity Skills 1 Impetuous: If a model has this skill he and his squad may roll 2d6 and choose the highest for the range of their Consolidation move.
Here is where everyone except for Unique units will gain Renown and with the more Renown each unit gains comes Ranks that unlock extra abilities and Command Traits.
Every time a unit that is not a HERO gains a Rank, you can choose from one of six Veteran abilities that each unit can use once per battle. They range from abilities that allow plus one to wound rolls in a particular phase to allowing that unit to charge even if it had ran that turn.
Beanith: I feel cheated here with this one single table to upgrade my minions. No doubt there will be more options available with future Battlepacks and White Dwarfs but I wants it now. This one definitely feels like a bit of a dud to me when it comes to customizing a hero to have all kinds of nutso bonuses. Combined with Veteran Abilities see below , it makes the actual reward for advancing seem slight.
Next comes stronghold management. You can upgrade your stronghold, improve the decor, add an HVAC unit, maybe a pool table for when your units are over, hanging out. Well OK, not really. Or not yet, anyways.
In this step you can add new territories via making an exploration roll , where you roll a D66 on the territory table, then you can spend 10 Glory points to add any of the results you get. The standard territories in the list are mostly the same as the ones you can start with, and increase your unit limits, but they can also be upgraded with Glory Points to give you further bonuses.
You can also reinforce units at this point, spending glory points to do so. As units get new ranks they gain Veteran Abilities, to a max of 3. These are 6 special abilities that give a unit once-per-battle abilities to use. Each unit can only use one per turn. These range from being able to advance and charge in a turn Fleet of Foot to giving enemies -1 to wound rolls against them for a combat phase Defensive Formation. I really hope there are a lot more of these coming in future battletomes but if so that just exacerbates the issue that Crusade has where the Codex factions have amazing Crusade rules and the factions still waiting have nothing.
Beanith: This almost killed my enthusiasm for the entire format honestly. Six simplistic cookie cutter upgrades that can only be used once per turn and each unit can only perform once per battle? This makes them interesting to me and worthy of a background and a name.
There are six custom Path to Glory Battleplans to choose from, and these are a bit different from the missions you might be used to in Matched Play. They tend to be asymmetric, with more varied deployment maps, and each one includes a way to score bonus renown, either at the end of the battle or at the end of each battle round. Beanith: Did I miss a few pages?
The Scoring is heavily favoring the one getting ambushed, such as The Trap giving points for surviving even with one model while the amnbusher needs to kill to get 2 points.
Breakthrough seems the most interesting, as it is about trying to get your guys from, one side to the other intact, so it requires a lot of smart movement and blocking from both sides. Is Path to Glory good? What are we excited about? What are we not so excited about? What needs changing? Rob: The territory rules are a neat idea. Having and controlling large swaths of territory and building an empire with my expanding army is a wonderful idea, and I like how territory expansion increases your Order of Battle rather than giving you strict in-game bonuses.
The injury system is also pretty interesting, creating some cool narrative possibilities. Finally the Vault is a cool concept, giving you a way to accumulate a bunch of bonuses to have at your disposal for games without adding a ton of cruft to all your units to track in every game. Path to Glory manages to add some cool new stuff on what Crusade did while simplifying the system a significant amount, giving you less to track for your army.
