Glory Points: Sepulchral Guard

December 2019·pp. 110–113

THE SHORT VERSION

Dave Sanders revisits the Sepulchral Guard for Beastgrave with an objective-focused deck that can score during the round and again at the game’s end. Their resistance to being driven back and ability to return fallen fighters support careful positional play, provided the player anticipates movement needs before the right cards reach their hand.

Sepulchral Guard: Keys and Upgrades

End-game keys reward fighters who can remain on important objectives, but taking too many too early can clog the hand. Other upgrades create speed, combat threats or a penalty for killing a bearer, and the advice considers which survivors should carry each tool and how resurrected fighters preserve their investment.

Tactica: The White Wizard

Rob Alderman explains how Saruman controls a battle through reliable magic rather than close combat. Efficient use of his free Will, carefully timed channelled spells and mounted movement let him isolate important enemies, while the Palantír creates an opportunity to take the initiative at the moment an opponent can least afford it.
