The Comet’s Call

November 2020·pp. 76–93

THE SHORT VERSION

Dan Harden’s Clan Ferrik skaven and Jonathan Stapleton’s Barak-Jazbaz Kharadron fleet blast each other apart while competing for a falling comet. Unpredictable artillery, destructive magic and the comet’s own lethal heat leave very few survivors, but Admiral Strongarm finally secures the objective and a costly Kharadron victory.

Worlds of Warhammer: The Age of Myth

Phil Kelly sets out a deliberately broad chronology for the Mortal Realms, explaining why exact dates are often less useful than shared eras. The timeline follows the awakening and alliances of gods, the capture of Slaanesh, emerging peoples and the cracks in Sigmar’s pantheon that eventually open the way to the Age of Chaos.

The Comet’s Call: Battleplan

Both armies predict the landing site of a valuable comet before its uncertain arrival changes the battlefield. The fallen celestial object can move and inflict severe damage, yet controlling it is essential to victory, forcing players to balance prediction, positioning and the danger of standing too close to the prize.
