In the Depths of the Underhive

May 2010·p. 77

THE SHORT VERSION

This Cities of Death mission pits Mephiston’s defenders against Tyranids trying to break through into the civilian population. Blood Angels cannot reserve forces, and the Tyranids cannot outflank; escaping broods score extra points while destroyed Synapse creatures are especially valuable to the defenders. The compulsory Red Thirst Rises stratagem selects bloodthirsty units in advance and lets all friendly troops use Mephiston’s Leadership while he lives.

Follow the Eldar Path

Gav Thorpe introduces Korlandril, an Eldar artist whose wounded pride drives him onto the Path of the Warrior and into the Striking Scorpion Aspect. The preview frames the novel around the psychological cost of immersion in a martial identity, including the danger of becoming an Exarch. Companion books following the Seer and Outcast paths promise different views of the same society rather than a conventional Imperial perspective.

Morgul Knight Regiment and Thralls of Mordor

The revised Morgul Knight entry adds command options to accompany the new plastic miniatures, listing a company cost and upgrades for a commander, banner and horn. Their lances, protection and Terror maintain the regiment’s role as heavy shock cavalry. An accompanying Thralls of Mordor rule allows Black Númenóreans and Morgul Knights in Mordor armies, with the Dark Marshal changing their classification to Common formations.

Blood by Moonlight

Faramir, Damrod and Madril lead an ambush against Gothmog’s infiltrating Orcs on a densely ruined battlefield. The evil army is split between models already in the city and first-turn arrivals whose entry points are partly chosen by the defender. Good can win by breaking the attackers and killing Gothmog, while an escape edge opens from turn six, turning the later game into a struggle to preserve enough of the garrison.
