The Dead-Marsh Defilers

March 2005·p. 82

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Chambers finally breaks his losing streak after rescuing Uncle Jo and gaining an infiltrating flamer Specialist. Fast-moving plague zombies absorb enormous amounts of fire and infect enemy gangers, turning the force’s grotesque character into a real tactical asset while its feud with the Unwashed Brotherhood continues.

The White Dwarf Team

Small Battle Companies, stubborn Necromunda rivals and new vehicles occupy the team this month. Nick appreciates forces that can grow a few painted models at a time, Greg celebrates an Eldar victory over Tau, Christian expands his mobile Imperators, and Paul Rudge continues converting Haradrim while attributing some successes to his opponents’ dice.

The War Begins: Part Four

The team’s Battle Companies grow through recruitment, injuries and an increasingly uneven series of contests. Harad’s cavalry wins battles and earns influence while Mordor suffers disastrous deaths; other players alter models to represent wounds, convert new leaders and discover how a small force’s developing identity can be shaped by both triumph and bad luck.

Harad Triumphs

Paul Rudge expands his Haradrim beyond a single fixed warband, rotating warriors to stay within the company limit. Poisoned arrows win a ford battle against Gondor, and mounted speed helps seize a recovery objective against Dol Amroth; promotions and new Raiders compensate for a leader’s leg wound and keep the force growing.
