Building a Castle: From Rubble to Redoubt

June 2023·pp. 66–67

THE SHORT VERSION

Undead fighters tear down small terrain pieces to accumulate building materials, unlocking a battle in which they must secure foundations across the battlefield. Winning allows the warband to relocate to a Grand Edifice of Death without the normal glory expenditure. The new castle increases its points and reputation allowances, encourages heroic renown and makes recruitment cheaper, giving the construction quest a lasting campaign payoff.

The Great Stomp Part 6

The campaign finale links an optional Warcry sabotage battle beneath Everquake City to a siege fought by teams of Age of Sigmar players. It explains when a territory holder can spend achievement points to trigger the conclusion, how to choose commanders and participating players, and which territory effects carry into the battle. Final rankings combine the value of controlled or pillaged territories with a bonus for the winning siege team.

Subterranean Sabotage

Attackers infiltrate Everquake’s underground vault to shatter three pylons while defenders try to preserve the city’s stability. The scenario supplies both a conventional terrain layout and a Cursed City tile arrangement, plus cramped fighting that restricts flying and large creatures, rewards driving enemies into walls, and connects entrances through unreliable secret passages. The number of pylons destroyed determines how many fortification-damage rolls are made before the linked siege.

The Siege of Everquake City

Two to six players divide into attacking and defending teams, each with a warlord who resolves shared decisions. The defenders construct a continuous fortress, divide their troops between garrison and delayed relief, and hold a gatehouse objective and a deeper strongpoint. Rules give walls and gates destructible profiles, adapt garrisons and monstrous demolition, and make the result depend on both captured objectives and the proportion of fortifications ruined.
