The Spellflux Spire: Casting and Counterspells

December 2019·pp. 24–25

THE SHORT VERSION

Casting exhausts a wizard and risks opposition from rivals who can spend power to unbind the spell. Fireballs push enemies back, draining magic changes their reserves, and flight offers a burst of movement, so the timing of a spell matters as much as its immediate effect on the board.

The Spellflux Spire

Four wizards race through a magical tower in Chamon whose awakening has drawn them toward a dangerously powerful centre. Players balance movement, stored power and opportunities to cast, with rune spaces, collisions and counterspells turning a simple inward race into an interactive contest over position and resources.

The Slayer’s Quest

Gotrek’s search for Felix brings him to the Eightpoints and into two unusual Warcry challenges. His exceptional resilience and unusually frequent actions make him a scenario figure rather than a normal points purchase, with one quest built around hunting monsters and the other around surviving the Slayer himself.

Gotrek Gurnisson: Fighter and Abilities

The printed fighter profile gives Gotrek a short move but formidable durability and close-combat damage. Extra movement, attacks and damage reduction reinforce his role as a lone legendary warrior, and the surrounding text limits his use to the specially designed challenges rather than supplying an ordinary warband cost.
