The Arch-monster

November 2007·p. 85

THE SHORT VERSION

A Mûmak’s trample can devastate a line of warriors or threaten even great heroes, but choosing the attack path is crucial when friendly models obstruct it. Haradrim archers help remove targets sheltered in terrain and weaken enemies the beast cannot readily reach. A Mahûd Chieftain improves control through Courage and Might, allowing more dependable heroic movement. The advice balances the creature’s tremendous destructive potential against its vulnerable Fight value and risk of losing control.

The High Elves March to War

Grombrindal grudgingly admires the High Elves’ shining ranks while recording their author as another Elf-friend in his book of grudges. The new army book, chariot, heroes and dragon lead the issue, with a city campaign and Baneblade workshop extending Apocalypse coverage. Middle-earth monsters provide a final threat, making the editorial’s tour of the contents a characterful exchange between Dwarven pride and the appeal of impressive new armies.

Caledor’s Pride

Two Dragons and a strong unit of Dragon Princes define a fast, aggressive army drawn from Caledor. A Star Dragon carries a heavily equipped Prince, while a Dragon Mage brings fire magic and another mobile threat. Coordinated attacks place the monsters on the enemy’s flanks and cavalry to the front, with citizen infantry and bolt throwers supporting from behind. The commentary also warns that losing one of these expensive centrepieces early can be difficult to recover from.

Hunters of Chrace

The 1,996-point Chracian force draws an approaching enemy into missiles and magic before unleashing three Lion Chariots. Korhil, White Lions and a spear block form a resilient infantry line, using woodland movement and suitable banners to choose defensible positions. An Archmage supplies magical support, including protection for the vulnerable chariots. The example shows how a provincial theme can produce a coherent defensive plan through the ordinary army list.
