THE SHORT VERSION

Ben improves his Guardsmen’s equipment and early movement but finds the other teams learning just as quickly. Losses and replacement recruits remain part of the campaign, while damaged industrial buildings gain vines, branches and a green weathered finish to create a killzone reclaimed from the surrounding jungle.

Rising Tomb Campaign

Two to four players explore a modular city above an awakening Necron tomb, revealing districts with escalating hostility and dangerous radiation. Access protocols unlock vaults and useful abilities, while early looting and final challenge battles determine campaign standings; the same framework accommodates ordinary matched games or Crusade armies with persistent rewards and scars.

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.
