Glory Points: Pungent Prophets

September 2023·pp. 118–121

THE SHORT VERSION

John Bracken pairs Skabbik’s Plaguepack with Paths of Prophecy to build a Nemesis deck centred on holding objectives and manipulating their values. He starts with achievable objectives, then selects movement, Guard and durability tools to support them, explaining why Skritter is worth protecting when Nothing Special lets the usually ineligible beast hold a token.

Stephen Box explains movement as the link between mission scoring, protection and the ability to threaten an enemy. He covers screening reserves, preserving Objective Control, choosing firing distances, working around Overwatch and using charges or fallbacks to manipulate which units can fight, with examples that make small positional choices matter.

Orders, Sir? Objective Control and Cleanse

A wounded World Eaters Daemon Prince is fighting Hearthkyn beside an objective, with Berzerkers and Jakhals available to help. The problem asks how to secure control and complete Cleanse in the final turn using limited command points, making eligibility to shoot, charge order and the timing of casualties central to the decision.
