Building Your Decks

December 2017·pp. 102–105

THE SHORT VERSION

The deck-building guide connects a warband’s objective cards to the ploys and upgrades that make those objectives achievable. Examples contrast reinforcing natural strengths with repairing weaknesses, concentrating resources in one fighter and disrupting an opponent, while the commentary warns that a larger deck reduces the reliability of drawing a desired combination.

The magazine introduces its Christmas cards for three games: an alternative-art Healing Potion for Shadespire, a festive Blood Bowl Special Play card and twelve additions to Shadows over Hammerhal. The latter mix skills, treasures and campaign support, with instructions later in the issue distinguishing cards shuffled into decks from special rewards earned during adventures.

Smash ’Em Up, Ladz!

The Ironjawz example seeks attacks without exhausting a fighter’s normal charge opportunity. Moving enemies into reach, using ploys for additional blows and timing Gurzag’s disabling attack can deny an opponent useful activations, so the deck supports a fighting plan rather than relying only on the warband’s naturally strong profiles.

It’s Always Wise to Synergise

A Sepulchral Guard example arranges fighters and cards so one attack can lead into another without spending a separate activation. The Harvester’s area threat and the Warden’s reach are considered together, demonstrating that useful combinations depend on positioning as well as putting individually powerful cards in the same deck.
