THE SHORT VERSION

Suggested rules treat the main house and elevated tower as separate building sections joined by the walkway. Ordinary troops must occupy the lower section before reaching or assaulting the tower, and only one model fights on each side during that restricted assault. Players can additionally classify it as arcane architecture or a Storm of Magic fulcrum, with the article presenting these as agreed options rather than a compulsory universal profile.

Catacomb Command Barge

The Command Barge carries one independent character as a fast open-topped skimmer. An embarked character can make three sweep attacks against a unit passed over, with speed affecting accuracy and vehicle hits striking rear armour. Symbiotic Repair lets the rider sacrifice a remaining wound to cancel an immobilised or weapon-destroyed result, provided doing so would not kill him.

Doomsday Ark

The Doomsday Ark’s cannon reaches its full long-range, Strength 9 large-blast potential only if the vehicle remains stationary. Moving at combat speed leaves a shorter-ranged, weaker blast, while independent flank gauss arrays can engage different targets. The page also defines quantum shielding as extra front and side armour that disappears after the first penetrating hit.

Attack on Traitor’s Gate: The Scenario

The narrative mission gives defenders a broad fortified deployment area and lets Necrons approach from three sides and take the first turn unless the initiative is seized. Five objectives determine the result after five turns, with an additional reward if the Eldar kill Imotekh in assault. Mat Ward explains how lowering the bastions’ armour and adjusting an existing mission supports the story without requiring a wholly new game system.
