THE SHORT VERSION

Martin Morrin and Rhuairidh James emphasise victory conditions, deployment and purposeful unit roles. Advice on combat order, protecting essential heroes and avoiding unfavourable attrition explains how a force’s movement and support relationships matter more than simply sending its strongest model toward the nearest enemy.

Planet Warhammer

Nightvault introduces spellcasting and fresh warbands to Underworlds, while Beasts of Chaos gather around new herdstones. Warhounds, additional Kill Teams and the Wake the Dead conflict on Vigilus broaden the releases, with novels, audio and licensed games adding further ways into the month’s stories.

Eyes of the Nine

The mixed Tzeentch warband combines sorcery with fighters whose roles differ markedly. Spellcasting and the ability to bring Horrors into the battle create options beyond a direct advance, encouraging players to exploit unusual positioning and supporting cards rather than treating the group as conventional infantry.

Zarbag’s Gitz

A much larger warband creates new opportunities to occupy space and interfere with the enemy. Supporting goblins, dangerous squigs and a shaman offer varied threats, but making the numbers count requires suitable movement and cards rather than expecting every fighter to act independently.
