Da Red Skull Kommandos

September 2022·p. 64

THE SHORT VERSION

Wade evokes Boss Snikrot’s famous mob through repeated red skull glyphs on equipment and masks. Patchwork military greens and sandy boots provide a grounded camouflage setting for bright skin, with the red accents tying varied Ork gear together without making every piece of clothing identical.

Kill Team Engage!

The staff campaign reaches its first completed Spec Ops as familiarity with ploys and operatives improves everyone’s play. Experience also brings injuries and fatalities, especially among the vulnerable Guardsmen and disposable Bomb Squigs, while a preview of close-quarter fighting aboard the Gallowdark sets the next challenge for the five teams.

Squig Games

Lyle completes Blitz but also suffers his first defeat against Matt’s Warpcoven. The report reviews useful honours, a close contest in which several Orks cling to a single wound and varied green skin recipes, with the roster and requisition ledger preserving the consequences of the campaign rather than resetting after each game.

Super Troupers

Sophie’s Void-dancers finish their Spec Op and show how carefully chosen roles help fragile Aeldari survive or threaten unexpected charges. She also develops a Blackstone Fortress-inspired killzone using raised hexagonal foam columns and game tiles, while her roster records the increasingly experienced troupe behind the new successes.
