King Alrik Ranulfsson of Karak Hirn

March 2006·p. 104

THE SHORT VERSION

Alrik rides the ancestral shield of Karak Hirn and insists on traditions older than many of its neighbouring holds. His fixed runes combine a chosen grudge, destruction of magical weapons and a challenge that forces enemies to respond. A supporting army favours crossbows and older artillery while avoiding black powder and Gyrocopters. The list advice makes his traditionalism a collecting constraint as well as background.

The News

The news previews Cities of Death as an urban expansion supported by modular plastic buildings and stratagems that give ordinary armies new choices. Forge World’s Cadian equipment, Mordheim components and an Old West historical release show other ways of extending existing collections. Studio sculpting previews, a Copenhagen gaming venue and the Golden Demon winners booklet place forthcoming products alongside the people and places that support the hobby.

Commander Shadowsun

Shadowsun’s experimental XV22 suit combines advanced protection with two fusion blasters, allowing her to confront threats a conventional Fire Warrior line cannot handle. Shield drones and a command drone reinforce her survival and command role. The preview connects these capabilities to her status as the leading commander of the Third Sphere, presenting a mobile leader rather than simply another long-range gun.

The Sky Ray

The Sky Ray brings a reserve of seeker missiles and its own markerlights to the army’s support network. Other units can help it engage targets, allowing the vehicle to contribute beyond a straightforward exchange of direct fire. Its missile supply makes timing important, while the markerlight system gives it a role after missiles are expended. The design is presented as another element in a coordinated Tau force.
