Scenarios 1 and 2: The Chaos Wastes

December 2008·p. 17

THE SHORT VERSION

Randomly selected Chaos landmarks turn the opening campaign battles into encounters with the landscape itself. Geological aberrations and brazen spires damage nearby troops, while a defended shrine grants favour. Familiar rulebook features fill out the terrain table. Haywire magic adds new miscast and irresistible-force combinations and can interact with the campaign’s flux table, making apparently routine casting a substantial tactical risk.

War in the North

Phil Kelly adapts Mighty Empires for rival Chaos warlords competing to lead a southern invasion. Persistent gifts, magical instability and transformation into a Prince or Spawn give each general a developing identity. An escalating sequence of battles moves from the wastes through sacred duels to a combined-army finale. Four Studio collectors introduce contrasting forces, showing how the campaign can accompany a new army rather than demand a finished collection.
