Domitan’s Stormcoven: Fighter Cards and Abilities

September 2023·p. 115

THE SHORT VERSION

The three Thunderstrike wizards bring a combination of mobility, durability and close-range magical violence to Warcry. Shared flight and a blast centred on a chosen point let them reposition and punish groups, while Thunderous Departure threatens an attacker even when a Stormcoven fighter is struck down.

Info-Gheist Pursuit

Armies pursue fading warp-borne information in a mission whose objective values are greatest early and late in the battle. Holding a marker improves shooting, while attacking an enemy unit at one grants a different offensive advantage, forcing commanders to weigh control against the opportunity to dislodge their opponent.

Fluctuations of Power

The player taking the second turn chooses an objective to become empowered each round, temporarily increasing its value before it becomes depowered and cannot be controlled. Each marker can receive this treatment only once, so the usual contest over territory becomes a changing sequence of opportunities that rewards planning beyond the current turn.
