Trouble Brewing

November 2020·pp. 70–73

THE SHORT VERSION

Jakkob Bugmansson leads a Barak-Nar expedition into the Eightpoints to recover ancestral brewing knowledge. His escort’s doubts become a desperate fight against Chaos raiders, but the Brewmaster General’s unexpected courage and skill win them over; the recovered discovery promises more than nostalgia for a duardin with a commercial eye.

Assault on the Nurtheos Shore

Callum Davis presents several viewpoints from the Hishrea assault: a Tome Keeper duels a Necron commander, Sisters climb a defended bluff and Rangers struggle towards ice cliffs through lethal fire. A later briefing to the Tritons frames another landing as a necessary sacrifice, joining individual courage to a much larger, grinding operation.

The Woe of Choice

Exhausted Major General Valdu must persuade a difficult Mechanicus ally to accept a workable defence with too few available troops. Moving units to protect vital forgeshrines threatens other desperate fronts, and even a hard-won agreement is immediately overtaken by new emergencies, exposing the moral and practical burden behind strategic decisions.

A Barrel of Draughts

Jakkob Bugmansson appears as a special challenge-battle fighter rather than an ordinary points-costed addition to a warband. His ale, axe runes and other abilities accompany XXXXXX Marks the Spot, a cargo-recovery fight in which hired bodyguards and their adversaries compete over scattered barrels and potentially earn a unique reward.
