The Fires of Embergard

December 2024·pp. 22–25

THE SHORT VERSION

The new Underworlds edition receives a flexible league structure that accommodates variable attendance and different prize preferences. Optional catch-up rules limit weekly results, double a trailing player’s next score or supply a small in-game advantage. Twelve battlefield twists introduce caches, vents, tremors, corruption and collapsing tunnels, giving the league a dangerous Embergard identity.

Planet Warhammer

The studio Underworlds league ends with Phil’s Skinnerkin beating Leigh’s Stab Ladz, while Kelly wins the painting award. Reader letters connect novels with named character models, suggest ways to draw veterans into Combat Patrol and revisit a classic Ork shipboard scenario using modern terrain. Personal model galleries, a Fellowship diorama and cats invading a hobby bench round out the section.

Scenarios of the Month: Volatile Assets

Supply crates offer a push-your-luck alternative to fixed objective values. Players roll repeatedly to determine the materiel they recover, but exceeding the safe threshold can cause mortal wounds and reduce the reward. The underdog gains a limited re-roll, and units still near supplies at the end can extract an additional random haul.

Scenarios of the Month: The Relocation Orb

A single objective moves between linked locations at the start of each round. The underdog chooses its next destination, while tied players randomise the move. Six points for controlling the orb and four for a battle tactic make positioning, mobility and anticipating the next relocation central to success.
