Legion of the White Hand

March 2010·pp. 42–43

THE SHORT VERSION

Jeremy Vetock explains his progression from relying on large Uruk-hai formations to supporting them with cheap Orc archers, ambushers and mobile Warg Riders. These units absorb attention, protect flanks and create openings for the valuable core. Hard-hitting specialists are kept in a second wave so they survive long enough to matter, while the photographed collection gives him a pool from which to tailor a force for each opponent.

News: Muster the Battlehosts

Battlehosts is previewed as War of the Ring’s first expansion, grouping formations and heroes into fifty-nine themed fighting forces. Fantasy Flight adds the Warpstone Chronicles to Warhammer: Invasion and concludes Haarlock’s Legacy with Dead Stars. Games Day ticket plans, a Golden Demon winners display and School League preparation accompany a clarification that Black Library’s print-on-demand books are physical publications rather than downloads.

For the Emperor!

The revised Chimera is placed within the Imperial Guard’s wider armoured system: adaptable Leman Russ tanks, close-range Hellhound variants, troop transports and long-range Basilisk support. Each fills a different role, from burning infantry to delivering squads through an offensive. The discussion connects the abundance of recent plastic kits to an army whose identity rests on both massed manpower and the mechanised firepower needed to support it.

The Fortress of Isengard

Adam Troke builds Isengard tactics around elite Uruk-hai infantry supported by inexpensive formations, dangerous specialists and powerful heroes. A large wall of pikes or shields advances relentlessly while flanking troops prevent enemies from attacking it on favourable terms. Ambushers, Sappers and carefully placed Trolls add threats outside that central block, and Jeremy Vetock explains how practical games taught him to balance impressive units with cheaper bodies.
