Saruman: Positioning and Magical Powers

December 2019·pp. 139–140

THE SHORT VERSION

Alderman recommends establishing protection early and conserving stored Will for more difficult casts. Command exposes valuable enemies to concentrated attacks, Sorcerous Blast can remove support or dismount a hero by striking another model first, and movement before and after casting helps the mounted wizard act without remaining unnecessarily exposed.

Glory Points: Sepulchral Guard

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: Gambits and Position

The gambit choices move fighters and objective tokens, refresh the hand and return a fallen warrior at a useful moment. The discussion treats movement as a limited resource for the slow undead, with card combinations supplying the flexibility needed to score rather than merely pushing the warband into a direct fight.

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.
