Haradrim Taskmaster, Golden King and Abrakhan Guard

November 2009·pp. 28–29

THE SHORT VERSION

The Taskmaster can support nearby heroic actions without always consuming the acting hero’s Might. The Golden King combines a litter, guards and a banner in a single model, with a way to undermine enemy Courage. Merchant Guard fight with heavy weapons without the usual penalty. A Hornblower upgrade supplies a further army-wide morale benefit.

Editorial: The Vermin at the Door

Mark writes as an increasingly alarmed Imperial scribe hearing rats outside his study. Jeremy Vetock’s new Skaven book becomes a forbidden scholarly account that confirms the rumours. References to Middle-earth and distant armoured heroes offer brief diversions from the threat. The playful introduction makes Imperial denial part of the issue’s launch theme.

Easterling Dragon Knight and War Priest

The Dragon Knight concentrates on personal combat and receives rules for controlling his fighting stance. That prowess comes without the ordinary ability to lead nearby warriors through Stand Fast. The War Priest instead supports an Easterling force through Fury and Bladewrath. Their contrasting roles make the choice between individual aggression and army support explicit.
