Path to Victory: Drepur’s Wraithcreepers

April 2021·pp. 97–101

THE SHORT VERSION

Drepur’s ghosts favour relentless aggression, with the Patrician’s support helping the armed spirits reach their victims. Damage upgrades and appropriate objectives reward a direct advance, while protecting the supporting fighter and managing enemy scoring provide more subtle choices beneath the apparent simplicity.

The Hive Volcanus Rapid Defence Force

Grant assembles an improvised Armoured Infantry defence around Commissar Graves, mixing Cadian and Krieg squads in Centaurs and Chimeras with Hippogriff armoured fighting vehicles. His plan uses transports and infantry to obstruct the Orks’ route, with a Rogal Dorn acting as a final goalkeeper against anything that escapes the line. The army is chosen to suit the story of delaying Wazdakka while Yarrick travels towards Death Mire, rather than as a detached competitive exercise.
