Maugan Ra: Phoenix Lord Rules

August 2003·p. 73

THE SHORT VERSION

The accompanying character profile turns Maugan Ra’s background into a battlefield role built around the Maugetar’s shooting and its formidable close-combat blade. Warrior powers offer alternative shooting benefits, while fearlessness can extend to a squad of Dark Reapers he leads. The entry also addresses character selection and his special availability to an Ulthwé Strike Force, making this a useful reference for the contemporary Eye of Terror army rather than a current character datasheet.

Farewell to Arms

Paul Sawyer reflects on bringing his Chaos army project towards its conclusion, recalling the pleasure of painting and the difficulty of learning a mobile, magical army after playing Dwarfs. His experience of fielding only the models he had finished leads into the appeal of small games for growing collections. The editorial previews Border Patrol and the expanded 40K in 40 Minutes format as ways to enjoy an army before it reaches the usual battle size.
