Chasing the Flames

August–September 2020·pp. 102–103

THE SHORT VERSION

A Hammerhal warband must capture the wandering Burning Head called Cinder Johann using an eccentric wizard’s prism trap. Three convergences follow its destructive trail and deliberately provoke enough violence to attract it, with thematic traits, artefacts and post-campaign rewards for surviving the spell’s arrival.

Cities of Sigmar: Hammerhal

Hammerhal sends selected companies into the Eightpoints for rescue, recovery and spell-hunting missions that larger armies cannot easily undertake. The introduction presents the mixed human, duardin and aelven force as both experienced and expendable, leading into fighter rules and a dangerous campaign quest.

Martyr’s Blood

A dwindling Hammerhal expedition tries to recover an Azyrite noble from the Krowl’s ritual site. The mixed company fights its way inside only to discover that the promised rescue has already become something much darker, leaving the survivors with the consequences of following orders in a land where Sigmar’s protection feels distant.

Hammerhal Warband Rules

Hammerhal’s fighters combine Freeguild troops, heavily armoured duardin and specialist aelves in one Warcry roster. Shared abilities support reclaiming objectives and coordinated melee attacks, while the full cards provide weapon, durability and points differences for building a force suited to the city’s particular mission.
