Alpha Predators

Lyle welcomes the Insidious Infiltrators, an eleven-model Tyranid patrol built around fast Lictor-type creatures. Its small size makes it appealing as both a new Combat Patrol and the core of a Crusade force. The editorial connects collecting, painting, campaign participation and Bunker achievements as several ways the same modest project can develop.

Worlds of Warhammer: Ghyran

Phil Kelly explores the Realm of Life beyond the assumption that it is uniformly green and idyllic. Nurgle’s corruption coexists with sacred waters, huge insects and fiercely defended settlements; Hammerhal Ghyra controls growth with imported lava and purifying steam. Accounts of Decrepita, the Shimmerfalls, Cursewood, the Living City, Mosscairn and Slicston reveal contrasting forms of abundance, decay and everyday danger.

Access Granted! Bunker on Crusade

The Bunker launches a three-team Crusade campaign using either Tyrannic War or Pariah Nexus. Additional rules let Combat Patrol games support the wider struggle, award campaign points for building and painting units, and prevent friendly infighting from improving a team’s standing. Individual awards for slain warlords, accumulated victory points and wins grant rare relics, giving different kinds of participation their own goals.
