Blood and Sand: The Ruins of Karna

November 2009·p. 41

THE SHORT VERSION

Players recover heavy plunder while a Barrow-wight and the dead interfere with the skirmish. The neutral creatures follow a defined control system and threaten treasure carriers in particular. The larger battle gives the earlier winner a central prize-bearing formation. Special blades, dangerous side effects and transferable treasure keep the reward contested.

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.

Haradrim Taskmaster, Golden King and Abrakhan Guard

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.
