The War in Hel’s Claw

October 2024·pp. 18–19

THE SHORT VERSION

Three Warcry battleplans place warbands in a ruined city where warpstone and emberstone offer the means to forge powerful weapons. Field Experiments makes a chosen fighter’s critical hits stronger but punishes missed attacks. Crafting Weapons of Power rewards keeping a weaponsmith safely at work across consecutive rounds, while Unearthing Realmstone combines objective control with aggressive engagement and an underdog’s chance to create a new deposit.

Scenarios of the Month: Battle of Wits

Commanders secretly choose three prime objectives each round, with the second player revealing one selection. Alpha and Omega markers have different values for attacker and defender, so the same position can represent different priorities. Final scoring rewards objectives chosen by both opponents, turning the last round into a contest over the ground both have identified as decisive.

Scenarios of the Month: Total Conquest

An updated version of the 2017 battleplan requires an army control score of at least twenty before a player can take an objective. Once seized, a marker remains controlled until the opponent reaches that threshold. The underdog can increase the control scores of selected units, creating chances to contest entrenched forces while ordinary objective and battle-tactic scoring continues.

Crusade of Faith

Adepta Sororitas commanders can lead their army in prayer, spending Miracle dice to intone a chosen hymn or a random pair for a battle round. The hymns improve mobility, protection, faith, firepower or melee strength. Linked agendas, requisitions and traits reward sacred ground, inspiring orators and specialist clergy; relics extend these abilities, while three campaign badges chart a force’s rise into an exemplar of faith.
