BATTLE REPORT·WHITE DWARF 379

The Tyrant and the Wolf

July 2011·pp. 96–103

THE SHORT VERSION

Phil Kelly’s Space Wolves challenge Adam Troke’s Red Corsair-led Chaos force in the new Decapitation mission amid Chad’s dense city terrain. Early vehicle kills and infantry victories give the Wolves momentum, though a Daemon Prince and later Greater Daemon inflict serious losses and Ragnar dies in combat. A Dreadnought finds a line of sight through the ruined battlements to kill the wounded Huron, helping the Wolves finish with twelve kill points to Chaos’s seven.

Editorial: Storm of Magic

Andrew Kenrick welcomes an expansion built around the monsters and magic he regards as central to Warhammer’s appeal. Scrolls of Binding allow every army to acquire new creatures, while the issue explores the book, designers and studio players’ preparations before staging a large demonstration battle. A Cities of Death update and a second report extend the theme of dramatic, unusual engagements into Warhammer 40,000.

A Storm in the North

Andrew Kenrick’s Warriors of Chaos face Matt Hutson’s Dark Elves with roughly 3,000 points each and a further 750-point monsters-and-magic allowance. Matt’s opening assaults kill all three Chaos Giants, but the decisive contest becomes one of teleportation, magical duels and moving the fulcrums themselves. After explosions kill Wizards and remove an objective, Matt copies Andrew’s summoning idea from a better position and claims a second fulcrum, winning 2–1 despite the Chaos sorcerers’ destructive achievements.
