Focus on Nick Bayton

January 2009·p. 41

THE SHORT VERSION

Nick assesses an all-mounted Chaos force whose speed delivers early pressure but does not always provide the staying power needed to finish a battle. He discusses the character of his mounted heroes, including Vashnaar the Tormentor and a Sorcerer on a Daemonic Steed, while considering Warriors as a future addition. The campaign encourages him to refine a developing collection in response to actual defeats rather than simply reinforce its original theme.

Da Green Horde

Large Boyz mobs combine numbers, a formidable charge and a power-klaw Nob who can threaten opponents ordinary choppas struggle to wound. The discussion stresses the intimidating volume of attacks from a full mob and the way that cheap Gretchin free the better fighters for offensive work. Objective holding therefore belongs in the plan alongside the straightforward attraction of overwhelming an enemy in combat.

Death from Above

Stormboyz are presented as a way to deliver an assault much faster than footslogging Boyz, using their unusually long movement to cross the battlefield and exploit openings. Boss Zagstruk changes their role further by allowing a spectacular arrival from reserve and an immediate attack, with his bionik talons supplying the hitting power. Speed is the appeal, but the article keeps the unit’s risky, unpredictable Ork character in view.
