Excess Enemies

March 2023·pp. 62–63

THE SHORT VERSION

Six Gallowdark missions extend close-quarters play to three or four kill teams using two joined boards. Shared player-order rolls govern drop-zone selection and activation, while the usual scouting step is omitted. Tac Ops are discouraged and the mission scoring ceiling rises, directing attention towards the common objectives without requiring players to retrofit every two-player secondary.

Readers describe a reunion through a casual Kill Team tournament and the solace of commemorating family in their collections. Questions cover the permanent interaction of Salamanders gene-seed with Nocturne’s radiation and why the Mortal Realms resist a complete map. Painted reader models accompany these conversations, while the practical answers range from intensely orange bases to a narrative Necron conversion.

Conveyor Carnage

Moving conveyor belts turn Boarding Actions into a hazardous industrial battlefield. At each round’s end, units and cover are carried along the tiles; straddling squads must risk jumping on or off, and troops pushed out of the battlefield suffer damage before returning to reserves. Supplementary terrain rules treat containers as walls and pipes as impediments, while the Manufactorum Mayhem sequence explains deployment, squad splitting, reserves and scoring for the six missions.

Manufactorum Assault

Both patrols fight for military supplies around a conveyor moving two tiles each round. Progressive scoring rewards holding multiple objectives and out-controlling the opponent, but designated prime caches offer a substantial final bonus. The rotated board and moving obstructions complicate the choice between keeping a scoring position and using the belt to reach more valuable ground.
