THE SHORT VERSION

Operation Briefing: Critical Operations

Elliot Hamer explains missions built around movement, actions and interaction with the killzone rather than a single destructive goal. Scoring limits and varied objectives reduce runaway leads and reward flexible rosters, while activation order becomes a continuous decision about pressure, safety and the opponent’s remaining options.

The Dance of Death

Harlequin performances preserve Aeldari history while their small warbands manipulate events through raids, assassinations and seemingly inexplicable interventions. Their service to Cegorach, care of the webway and psychologically overwhelming equipment explain why a Void-dancer mission can appear like capricious violence while following an elaborate hidden design.

Void-dancer Names and Demeanours

Dramatic mantles and ritual personae generate names linked to Aeldari mythology and theatrical roles. Troupe titles, demeanours and origins extend that symbolism to a whole kill team, allowing a collection to be defined by its performance and obligations as well as individual fighters.
