Tales from the Cursed City: The Last Days of Haven

November 2023·pp. 22–25

THE SHORT VERSION

An alternative ending to Ulfenkarn’s story leaves the heroes trapped in Haven as Radukar’s plans succeed. Starting at level one without equipment, they face twenty waves on a fixed defence map before confronting the Wolf King. Recovery, treasure, inspiration and advancement between waves provide a growing arsenal, but overlapping hostile groups and special events make survival increasingly difficult.

Scenario of the Month: Long-held Enmity

Rival commanders secretly wager how many enemy units they will destroy each battle round, then reveal their boasts and try to fulfil them. Vehicles, monsters and titanic targets carry extra weight. Ordinary objective control remains valuable, but the larger reward for outbidding and delivering more destruction encourages calculated risks and target selection.

Battle of the Brimstone Peninsula

This historical battleplan revisits Vandus Hammerhand’s attempt to prevent Korghos Khul’s ascension. The attacker must destroy a dread portal, treated as a defended target, while the defender can return destroyed non-unique units near it. The asymmetric objective turns the corrupted realmgate into the focus of the battle and recreates the urgency of the original Realmgate Wars clash.

Covert Warfare: Raptors Crusade Rules

Raptors gain a survival-focused Agenda, an oath-keeping Requisition and Battle Traits that favour mobility, infiltration and ranged precision. Storm Speeders can become harder to hit or more effective up close, while infantry improvements support fighting retreats, extended ranges and early positioning. Holo-shroud and Sanctus Gem relics protect valuable warriors without changing the Chapter’s preference for efficient, carefully prepared engagements.
