Warhammer Underworlds: Warscroll Skirmish Mode

March 2025·pp. 118–119

THE SHORT VERSION

Warscroll Skirmish removes Rivals decks and concentrates on fighter cards, warscroll abilities, positioning and combat. Players retain the ordinary board, tokens, dice and battle-round structure, with glory focused on fighter Bounty and additional opportunities for positional warbands. The feature presents the format as a quick introduction and a way to run fast games without deck preparation.

The Road Ever Goes On

Rob and Danny explain the appeal of Middle-earth through nine aspects of collecting and playing: familiar heroes, recreating film and book battles, accurate character painting, accessible turn structure, heroic resources, themed army lists and evocative terrain. A photographed encounter between a bow-armed Rohirrim and a Hill Tribesman demonstrates movement, shooting, duels and wounding, while Might, Will and Fate make heroes more than stronger ordinary warriors.

Combat Patrol: Twilight Cavalcade

A new Harlequin Combat Patrol combines the Knight of Evenfall Troupe Master, Alineth Shadespinner, two six-player Troupes, two Skyweavers and a Voidweaver. Bespoke datasheets emphasise adaptable melee performance, deceptive defence and a mobile gun platform; the accompanying advice recommends weakening targets before the fragile performers commit and using speed to take objectives.

Aspects of War: Strategic Supremacy

This optional battle variant replaces ordinary Core Stratagems with powerful Exigency Stratagems and supplies an additional pool of Exigence Command points. Extra reserves and a catch-up bonus encourage escalating battles, with adjustments for the multiplayer Cauldron of War format. The new tactics enable dramatic advances, harder attacks, demolition, emergency concealment, unexpected charges and limited indirect fire, making resource timing central to the variant.
