Armoured Gauntlet unleashes spearhead carnage with new 40K rules

Warhammer Community debuts the Armoured Gauntlet rules for Warhammer 40,000, introducing the SPEARHEAD keyword for large Vehicles/Monsters (10+ wounds, excluding aircraft/fortifications and hover). When their last unsaved wound would be taken, spearhead units roll on new damage tables instead of dying, with Damage Tokens potentially causing explosions. The system includes faction-specific tables, upgrades for veteran units, and dedicated mission sets—12 total—with nine balanced battles and three asymmetrical challenges. The expansion Armageddon: The Return of Yarrick adds the Armoured Gauntlet book, lore, and new Detachments, with pre-orders opening this weekend.
