Ork Clanz: Blood Axes

February 2004·p. 109

THE SHORT VERSION

Kommandos form the army’s core, supported by looted vehicles and unusual Imperial-style transport. The Warboss and a sufficiently small retinue may ride in a captured Chimera, while mobs can use medical or technical leaders. Background connects camouflage, dealings with humans and willingness to retreat to the clan’s untrustworthy reputation among other Orks.

News of the original Warhammer Online project includes a screenshot caption competition and development-team prizes. Other notices introduce Dan Abnett’s Ravenor, the Sedition’s Gate expansion for the Horus Heresy card game and revised age groups and evenings for UK store gaming. An online-store update and a reproduction of Archaon’s sword round out this snapshot of the month’s hobby activity.

Throt the Unclean

Throt’s character rules combine an oversized Killing Blow weapon with a whip that works from the rear of a unit. Nearby Clan Moulder beasts benefit from his authority and discipline, while his altered body regenerates wounds. His hunger prevents pursuit, creating a drawback for any unit he joins. The profile makes him a specialised leader for Giant Rats and Rat Ogres rather than a conventional Skaven general.

Confrontation at Infernus Hive

Dark Angels and Orks race to secure a communications relay after an Imperial defence line is breached. The compact scenario provides forces, deployment instructions and an objective that must be held for a full turn. It adapts the rulebook’s training battle to opposing factions, making the encounter useful both as a playable mission and as the foundation for the following rules demonstration.
