Winds of Change

August 2003·pp. 34–35

THE SHORT VERSION

Luke Peterschmidt explains how Winds of Magic adds a limited spell-point resource to Sabertooth’s WarCry card game, making timing and resource management matter within each battle. He then previews Siege of Darkness, whose large war machines, support WarCry abilities and new Skaven and Bretonnian units change deck construction. Examples show the effects on terror, discard, ranged and single-race decks, with particular attention to cards that can disrupt a predictable opponent’s central trick.

Eye of Terror Patrol Clash Army Lists

Four sample patrols demonstrate how the new Eye of Terror armies work within the small-game restrictions. Cadians combine mobile special weapons and a Hellhound; an Ulthwé force substitutes a Warlock for more expensive psykers and relies on ranged firepower. The Lost and the Damned emphasise a large mutant horde backed by bigger creatures, while the 13th Company uses Storm Claw bikers, Grey Slayers and Fenrisian Wolves for a fast assault. Each list includes its builder’s reasoning rather than simply presenting points totals.

Mark of the Wulfen

Matt Hutson reviews his successful small-game campaign before planning a larger 13th Company army. Storm Claw bikers become the main striking force, supported by Grey Slayers repositioned with the Rune Priest’s Gate power and a separate pack of Fenrisian Wolves. His decision to omit the more predictable Wulfen shows how playing experience reshapes a collection. The printed list and tactical discussion focus on coordinating a small, elite army whose speed is easy for an opponent to underestimate.

Denizens of the Dark

Adrian Champion argues that Moria Goblins succeed by turning cheap warriors and difficult terrain into advantages rather than trying to match elite opponents individually. Shielded front ranks and spear support protect the force’s weaker elements, while climbing and jumping allow Goblins to move through the mines more freely than their enemies. Advice for Durburz, drums, shamans and Cave Trolls shows how leadership, Fury and powerful counter-attacks work together, with special care needed to keep support models alive until battle is joined.
