Blood Bowl: Chain Pushing

February 2018·p. 145

THE SHORT VERSION

Jonathan Taylor-Yorke explains how successive pushbacks can move a friendly scorer farther than its normal movement allowance. Occupied squares and carefully chosen blocks create the chain, but the setup needs enough players in the right places, explaining why the battered Eagles could not complete the proposed one-turn touchdown in the match report.

Skulking in the Dark With Spiteclaw’s Swarm

Tom Merrigan focuses on speed, objective play and ploys that inspire the Skaven without asking them to endure a straightforward fight. Returning Clanrats to distant starting hexes creates board pressure, while cheap upgrades and rewards for expendable fighters help exploit a warband whose leader must remain safe to sustain it.
