Glory Points: Card Combos

Dave weighs powerful combinations against the risk of drawing cards that do little alone. Versatile, immediate-impact, utility and disruptive pairings demonstrate different purposes, while his advice warns against building too much of a deck around an elaborate sequence that may never assemble at the right time.

The Hive Volcanus Rapid Defence Force

Grant assembles an improvised Armoured Infantry defence around Commissar Graves, mixing Cadian and Krieg squads in Centaurs and Chimeras with Hippogriff armoured fighting vehicles. His plan uses transports and infantry to obstruct the Orks’ route, with a Rogal Dorn acting as a final goalkeeper against anything that escapes the line. The army is chosen to suit the story of delaying Wazdakka while Yarrick travels towards Death Mire, rather than as a detached competitive exercise.

Wazdakka’s Speedwaaagh!

Dan combines fast bikes and buggies with heavier Battlewagons, a Morkanaut and a Kill Rig to force a route through the Imperial defence. Turbo Boostas can propel Speed Freek units through a gap, while the towering Morkanaut threatens to step over vehicles used as roadblocks. Transported infantry and a Dakkajet broaden the attack, and the mission rewards reaching or leaving the enemy end of the board rather than simply destroying everything in sight.
