Armour of Contempt

November 2016·p. 117

THE SHORT VERSION

Rules add Contemptor Dreadnoughts to Burning of Prospero, either by giving both sides one or replacing an infantry squad. Tough armour, a damaged state and repeated attacks distinguish the machine from ordinary warriors, while psychic Thousand Sons and hard-hitting Space Wolves variants retain their Legion identities.

The preview describes its forty-seven miniatures, six scenarios, different sizes of combat dice and psychic cards, explaining how its mechanics differ from Betrayal at Calth.

Model of the Month: Geigor Fell-Hand

Geigor’s aggressive pose and wolf-claw express a warrior who prefers close combat to his bolter. His background places him among the Einherjar and gives his hatred of the Thousand Sons a personal intensity, making him the physical counterpart to Ahriman in the new boxed game.

Highs and Lows: Ahzek Ahriman

Ahriman’s career is traced from chief Librarian and seeker of a cure for the flesh-change to the architect of the disastrous Rubric. His efforts to protect the Legion become inseparable from betrayal, vengeance and the transformation of many brothers into dust-bound suits of armour.
