RULES·WHITE DWARF 335

Scenario 1: The 13th Parallel

November 2007·pp. 78–79

THE SHORT VERSION

A five-thousand-point Imperial defence faces seven thousand points of Chaos across a broad street on a six-by-eight-foot city battlefield. Fortified ruins and prepared Imperial stratagems offset the attackers’ greater numbers, while all six objectives stand on the defended side. Both armies deploy within fixed time limits, Chaos attacks first and neither keeps reserves. Winning this opening struggle grants either Ambush or Flank March in the next battle, making the cost of holding the line matter beyond this game.

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.

News: Waaagh! The Orks

The forthcoming Ork codex promises a broad account of the species’ origins, tribal culture and relentless wars, alongside the leaders and ramshackle machines that drive a Waaagh! New bikes, Trukks and Tankbustas accompany the range, while the returning Shokk Attack Gun particularly excites veteran players. The preview presents those eccentric weapons and stubbornly aggressive warriors as expressions of a civilisation that lives for conflict.

Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command

The handheld strategy preview follows Ultramarines fighting Chaos through fifteen linked missions on Nintendo DS and PSP. Turn-based combat uses destructible three-dimensional battlefields and recognisable weapons from bolters to power fists. Multiplayer maps support opposing or cooperative groups, with selectable loyalist Chapters and Chaos Legions. The feature translates the setting’s small-unit warfare into a portable game with local and networked play.
