Path to Victory: Kainan’s Reapers

August 2021·pp. 129–133

THE SHORT VERSION

Kainan’s Reapers combine efficient supporting moves, tithe counters and a threatening leader. Pushes and ranged upgrades keep the Mortek useful after advancing, while early positioning and carefully timed attacks allow the warband to turn its linked movement into both scoring pressure and reliable combat.
