November 2004·p. 30

THE SHORT VERSION

Bolt Throwers trade explosive unpredictability for reliable shots that can pierce ranks and armour, but their lightly protected crews need support. Christian Byrne explains how paired High Elf repeaters use long range and concentrated volleys to clear threats to a fast army, with magical assistance improving their consistency.

Scenario Two: Skeggi’s Warning

Skeggi’s thousand-point garrison must defend a fortified watchtower against Grabnatz’s larger Goblin force, whose volatile brew can rupture its stone walls. The previous battle affects how close the attackers begin, and the tower’s survival determines how much warning Bugman receives, changing the next scenario’s length and opening turn.
