REVIEW·WHITE DWARF 407

Triumph & Treachery

November 2013·pp. 20–23

THE SHORT VERSION

A slipcased expansion brings three to five armies into battles of shifting alliances and bribes. Treachery cards, player cards and Imperial-style coins make its social decisions tangible. Historical examples and three detailed encounters connect the system to the Old World. The review stresses accessible rules and mercenaries as ways to include an uneven gaming group.

Doomfire Warlocks

Cursed sorcerers must replenish their failing souls through sacrifice to escape Slaanesh. The plastic riders express that fate through hollow eyes, ragged hair and crude blades. A masked Master adds an especially disturbing focal point. The review connects the figures to Malekith’s prophecy and the outlawed male sorcerers of Hag Graef.

Dark Riders

Scouts carry spears, shields and holstered crossbows beneath concealing scarves. Their saddle equipment suggests long independent patrols beyond friendly lines. Helmeted, bare and cowled heads offer varied personalities, while the Herald can carry an axe or crossbow. Branded, emaciated steeds reinforce the cruelty of their masters.
