BATTLE REPORT·WHITE DWARF 439

Vengeance on Golgotha

February 2019·pp. 42–61

THE SHORT VERSION

Jervis Johnson and Andy Chambers revisit the capture of Commissar Yarrick through three linked Kill Team games. The rescue begins with an attack on an Ork-held bunker, continues through a prison extraction and ends in a desperate dash for a Taurox, with the results of each stage determining Yarrick’s condition in the next.

The Imperial force loses the first engagement but succeeds in reaching the prisoner during the second. Its dwindling survivors cannot complete the escape: the Orks overwhelm the last escorts at the vehicle and Zarknutz clubs Yarrick unconscious, leaving him captive once more despite repeated acts of Imperial heroism.

Kill Team Weekender

The first Warhammer World Kill Team Weekender combines Studio contact, a small campaign and painting with a day of competitive games. Players explain how experience changed their plans: numbers and objectives matter alongside killing power, and terrain, cover and faction abilities reward attention even in a small battle.

Strike Squad Vigilus

Ewan Osborne’s Avenging Sons use restrained conversions and a bright white finish to make their Primaris strike team distinctive. The article describes a simple light-grey and white process with controlled shading, while a veteran’s sword, trophies and damaged armour introduce individual histories without disrupting the squad’s clean appearance.

Mothers of the Brood

Peter McMullin combines Escher bodies with Genestealer Cult parts to produce a distinctive band of female cultists. Pale faces and darkened eye sockets establish an unhealthy appearance, while red cloth and chitin tie the unusual hybrids together; the conversion discussion also points towards extending the idea with Van Saar components.
