THE SHORT VERSION

Sorcerous Blast and Nature’s Wrath break formations by putting enemies on the ground, creating openings for nearby warriors. Black Dart and Chill Soul instead threaten selected targets, while Panic Steed can strip even a flying Ringwraith of its mount. Casting during movement allows the army to exploit the result immediately. Heroes with Will can sometimes resist these attacks, but an aggressive assault on the caster offers a more permanent answer.

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.
