THE SHORT VERSION

Protective auras, Fury and courage support keep key troops active while healing and extra Will sustain important heroes. Simon Grant distinguishes lasting effects from powers with restrictive end conditions, then recommends pressure on the caster as a counter. A Shaman can support with a spear without joining the fight, preserving Fury if the supported warrior loses. Safe positioning therefore matters as much as successfully casting the initial spell.

For Rogal Dorn!

Neil Hodgson adds Pedro Kantor, Sternguard and a chapter-decorated Razorback so that his Crimson Fists’ rules match their appearance. Scoring Veterans and economical full Tactical squads suggest a force organised around mutually supporting infantry blocks. A defeat to Andy Hall’s Tau reveals the cost of crossing exposed ground without Deep Strike or outflanking. Drop Pods and a Redeemer become the next planned answers to that experience.

Xenos War

Pete Foley tests his mobile Eldar against Phil Kelly and loses one objective to none after his transport and supporting plan unravel. Small Jetbike units and expensive vehicle upgrades leave too little force to rescue the Autarch or pressure multiple targets. Phil recommends cheap objective holders and a close-combat unit for the empty Falcon. Pete decides to merge the Jetbikes and strip unnecessary equipment before the larger games.

Tyrant of Badab

Matt Hutson adds a Vindicator, transport and more Marines to give his Red Corsairs both resilience and a stronger attack. Against Alex Boyd’s Orks, Huron leads a mechanised flanking assault while another squad protects the home objective, converting heavy casualties into a mission win. His objective model draws on the Wolf of Fenris story. The painting discussion highlights two-tone vehicles and detailed interiors rather than shortcuts hidden behind closed hatches.
