February 2020·pp. 114–117

THE SHORT VERSION

John Bracken distinguishes local play-group habits from wider tournament trends and explains how releases, past winners and popular strategies shape expectations. Rather than copying a winning list blindly, players are encouraged to identify likely opponents and add targeted counters that preserve their own deck’s central plan.

Rules of Engagement: Writing Army Lists

Louis Aguilar builds an army around a clear overall plan, considering objectives, defensive pieces, mobility and what remains after key units die. His worked Living City list combines Alarielle, Freeguild Handgunners, Tree-Revenants and artillery to show how reserves and support choices can express an intended battlefield strategy.

Path to Victory: Hrothgorn’s Mantrappers

Dave Sanders builds an aggressive hunting plan around Hrothgorn’s attacks, Thrafnir’s speed and the Gnoblars’ supporting tricks. Pushes, traps and lethal hexes work together to inflict extra damage, while advice on setup, objectives and activation priorities helps concentrate the warband’s resources where they matter most.

Path to Victory: The Wurmspat

The Wurmspat’s three resilient fighters support a flexible plan mixing combat and objective control. Individual analyses cover Fecula’s spells, Ghulgoch’s heavy attacks and Sepsimus’s reach, with card recommendations to improve movement, exploit persistent Cycle gambits and score efficiently despite the warband’s small size.
