Difficult Conditions: Mission Rule Example

October 2013·p. 53

THE SHORT VERSION

The example reduces the weapon and shooting skill of enemy troops and allied forces exposed to the unfamiliar environment. Several Marine armies and Necrons are exempt. The opposing player receives extra victory points unless their main army is one of those exceptions. Jervis uses the finished wording to illustrate a deliberate compromise between a detailed fictional environment and a rule manageable during play.

Iron Guard

Mark Clapham follows Hool from a crowded Mordian hive into the 114th Regiment. Adam is particularly drawn to the convincing civilian setting and wishes the transition through training were longer. Once deployed, the regiment faces renegades and stranger night-time threats. Sergeant Essler and Commissar Tordez give the disciplined formation memorable individual characters.

Salamanders: The Omnibus

The Tome of Fire novels and associated short stories appear together in a large collection. Dak’ia and the Third Company face renegades who mirror their own Legion’s heritage. Mutual revenge drives the conflict, while the Salamanders’ compassion gives it a distinct character. Andrew recommends the series as an expression of the Chapter qualities that first attracted him.
