THE SHORT VERSION

Legolas’s precision archery and Gimli’s adaptable axes offer complementary ways to remove threats. Their friendship and competitive kill tally encourage cooperative deployment, while the tactical discussion explains when to seek key targets, exploit heroic abilities or bring the two heroes together in a Fellowship scenario.

Glory Points: Rivals

Dave Sanders discusses fixed Rivals decks as an approachable way to play without deck construction. Comparisons of Silent Menace, Illusory Might and Maze Breachers explain their different priorities, with the new deck rewarding an assertive advance and attacks that make the enemy’s losses exceed the warband’s own.

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.

Wazdakka’s Speedwaaagh!

Dan combines fast bikes and buggies with heavier Battlewagons, a Morkanaut and a Kill Rig to force a route through the Imperial defence. Turbo Boostas can propel Speed Freek units through a gap, while the towering Morkanaut threatens to step over vehicles used as roadblocks. Transported infantry and a Dakkajet broaden the attack, and the mission rewards reaching or leaving the enemy end of the board rather than simply destroying everything in sight.
