The Order of the Blazing Sun

October 2005·p. 118

THE SHORT VERSION

The Order traces its devotion to Myrmidia to a fallen temple statue that destroyed the enemy leader during the battle for Margritta. Trade and pilgrim protection give it Wealthy, while suspicion of a foreign goddess imposes Pariahs. Black armour highlighted grey and finished with Ardcoat contrasts with bright yellow and layered gold. Its background makes religious difference a source of both purpose and social cost.

The Thorians sourcebook becomes freely downloadable, the Mines of Moria receives website support, and the Citadel Miniatures Hall opens to visitors. Book previews accompany the launch of Dark Millennium’s collectible cards and online campaign, while a longer notice explains the company’s contemporary response to counterfeit miniatures.

Jumping Obstacles

The new ledges provide a practical way to add full movement rules to starter games. Obstacles are judged against the model’s own height, with a test determining whether it stumbles, crosses slowly or keeps moving; taller obstacles penalize the roll. The guide distinguishes jumping down, Goblins’ Cave Dweller advantage and elevated fighting, while discouraging models from climbing pillars imagined to reach the ceiling.

The Battle for Rhosgobel

Radagast intercepts Goblins and Wargs threatening a village near Mirkwood, with Gwaihir arriving first and two Eagles following by reserve rolls. Good has ten turns to complete two of three goals: keep all allies alive, slay the Goblin captains and reduce the raiders to a quarter strength. Radagast’s affinity with beasts imposes an additional courage test on charging Wargs. The scenario balances a tiny powerful defence against numerous attackers and uncertain aerial help.
