SHOWCASE·WHITE DWARF 349

Focus on Phil Kelly and Wade Pryce

January 2009·p. 39

THE SHORT VERSION

Phil explains the imposing appearance and battlefield role of his large Chosen regiment, combining lavish armour, halberds and components taken from the Knights kit. Wade takes a different lesson from his games, questioning how many champions his force needs when opponents can avoid feeding them challenges and rewards. Together their accounts connect army construction, conversions and the campaign’s incentive to develop memorable individual warriors.

War in the North: Part Two

The four-player northern campaign reaches its conclusion as Phil Kelly, Nick Bayton, Wade Pryce and Pete Foley compete for territory, divine favour and the title of Emperor of Chaos. Early land grabs and uneven rewards give way to decisive clashes involving Chosen, cavalry and Daemons. Wade’s final recovery and alliance victory secure the imperial title, while Pete holds the largest realm; the accompanying player reflections explain why campaign success need not match simple battlefield aggression.

Key Battle: Wade versus Phil

Wade and Phil’s clash ends in a draw despite several dangerous character and magic combinations. Charnal Gorehand’s Bloodskull Pendant threatens models in contact without relying on a conventional challenge, while Proteus Klaw adds potent Tzeentchian sorcery to Phil’s army. Chosen flee and recover, and Nurgle’s Grumbleguts repeatedly disappoints, making the report a useful example of how impressive gifts can still produce an indecisive campaign result.
