One Ring to Rule Them All

May 2022·pp. 126–129

THE SHORT VERSION

The One Ring makes its bearer difficult to target and can reduce an opponent’s fighting skill, but Sauron’s influence and the Nazgûl undermine its apparent safety. Tactical examples pair Ringbearers with stronger companions, while narrative scenarios highlight the need to balance its immediate advantages against the danger of wearing it.

Rules of Engagement: Nighthaunt

Louis Aguilar examines ethereal defence, Discorporate protection and the revised Wave of Terror. Reliable movement and charge-triggered penalties encourage repeated pressure and coordinated attacks, while the discussion connects improvements across the warscrolls to a play style built around frightening opponents rather than simply surviving their attacks.

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.
