Sander Tijssen develops a Norse Dwarf army after seeking a tactical change from Bretonnians. Marauder shields, horned helmets and textured fur cloaks establish its northern identity, while snow bases and individually named leaders reinforce the theme. Crossbowmen use Empire arms to achieve aiming poses. Tournament participation encourages him to keep adding units, turning the force into a growing collection rather than a fixed competitive roster.

Gav Thorpe supplies a sequence for generating varied battles after both players have already chosen equal-sized armies. Engagement type, objectives, terrain, deployment and unusual conditions combine to change the tactical problem. Vanguards and rearguards affect how forces reach the table, while weather and magical disturbances add uncertainty. The system is designed for ordinary games and events, with a record sheet for the resulting scenario.
