Using the Runes: Anvil of Doom

February 2006·p. 65

THE SHORT VERSION

Wrath and Ruin damages an unengaged enemy and restricts its mobility, including grounding flyers or slowing retreat. Hearth and Hold steadies friendly troops against fear and terror, while Oath and Honour grants an extra move or charge during the Shooting phase. Ancient Power expands each effect to more units or stronger protection. The rules explain the Anvil as a tool for controlling tempo and morale as well as directly inflicting casualties.

Editorial: Eastern Delight

Owen Rees welcomes the Easterlings as worthy opponents for his Gondor cavalry and introduces the staff campaign around Mordheim’s Temple of Morr. His first evil force centres on a Vampire whose suitably dramatic name becomes a running joke. Tournament qualification, doubles preparation and several unfinished armies illustrate the competing demands on his hobby time. He also previews free reference sheets and the return of Jervis Johnson’s column.

The News

Clint Langley’s card artwork, historical releases and fiction merchandise sit alongside Simon Egan’s burrowing Forge World Trygon. Mordheim returns as both a boxed game and a forthcoming magazine campaign. The varied announcements emphasize model-building possibilities as well as additions to existing forces.

Khamûl the Easterling: Essence Leech

Khamûl recovers Will for wounds caused, making combat an opportunity to sustain a Ringwraith rather than only exhaust him. Before the Fight phase he may spend Will to increase Strength, Fight or Attacks for that phase. These options join the usual magical powers and Terror, giving players a reason to send the named Nazgûl into selected engagements. The preview explains the distinctive ability without reproducing a complete character profile.
