The Armoured Fist of the Legion

Battle Doctrines missions isolate the tactical uses of a particular unit instead of relying on ordinary force organisation. The introduction makes the Land Raider Proteus Carrier the focus of three challenges, encouraging repeated games and swapped roles so players can explore its strengths and vulnerabilities under deliberately different battlefield conditions.

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.
