War Machines of Ostermark

February 2011·p. 93

THE SHORT VERSION

Christian’s artillery collection experiments with several Imperial engines while repeating provincial colours on the crews. Bronze washed with black provides the main metallic treatment, and thin turquoise, white and green mixtures add verdigris to the recesses. The Steam Tank combines bronze, silver and gold, with carefully painted scrollwork naming it Sigmar’s Hammer and identifying its engineer.

Tactica: Skaven — Die! Die! Man-things

Jeremy Vetock builds a Skaven plan around cheap ranked units that hold the enemy while Rat Ogres, Doomwheels and Abominations deliver the decisive blow. Battle standards and great altars improve reliability, while protected weapon teams and artillery remove threats to that living wall. He explains careful deployment, timing random movement, useful magical and character combinations, and when an apparently expendable unit can do more than simply absorb casualties. Counter-tips from other studio generals also reveal the weaknesses opponents should attack.

A Weapon for Every Occasion

A comparative guide matches each Skaven weapon team to a job and an associated risk. Warpfire threatens dense formations, Doom-flayers add close-combat force, Ratling Guns check small mobile units, Warp-grinders disrupt the enemy rear and Poisoned Wind Mortars bypass armour and high Toughness. A central practical recommendation is to keep the fragile teams hidden until the battlelines engage, then expose them only when a worthwhile shot becomes available.
