Index Xenos: Eldar Rangers

August 2006·pp. 88–91

THE SHORT VERSION

The Rangers are explored as Eldar who seek freedom from the discipline of Craftworld life, accepting danger and isolation on the Path of the Outcast. An Imperial dossier studies their weapons, armour and camouflage through a mixture of grudging technical recognition and institutional prejudice. Examples from Biel-tan, Saim-Hann, Alaitoc and Telennar then show how independent wanderers return to serve their homes as scouts and ambushers, including operations against the Orks on Medusa V.

Editorial: Legions of Middle-earth

Grombrindal welcomes a month offering two complementary ways to play in Middle-earth. Legions of Middle-earth supplies themed armies and competitive battles, while The Two Towers follows the story through prepared encounters and new characters. The same growing collection can therefore support large contests and intimate narrative moments, with a return to the urban struggle for Medusa V elsewhere in the issue.

Lizardmen: Forces of Lustria

The Lizardmen’s different castes are introduced through the duties left to them by the Old Ones. Saurus provide the army’s force and resilience, Skinks supply stealth, speed and poisoned harassment, and Chameleon Skinks take concealment further still. The ancient Slann combine immense magical ability with the memory of service to their vanished creators, giving the host a purpose beyond a collection of reptilian warriors.

Death Stalks Machavius

Alessio Cavatore’s Ultramarines rush Matt Hutson’s Necron power hub in a 1,500-point Urban Assault. The Marines reach their objective early, but Resurrection Orbs keep restoring the defenders and the Monolith repeatedly extracts units from combat so they can fire again. A determined final Terminator briefly sustains the attack before the Necron Lord reduces the surviving Marines below scoring strength. Both sides retain their own building for a draw, prompting reflections on premature exposure, unused mobile units and the central importance of the Monolith.
