The Risen Legion

February 2026·pp. 94–95

THE SHORT VERSION

Amber adds a mounted Wight Lord and his guard, imagining the mounted and foot leaders as a son and father whose oasis kingdom died in a plague. In her first campaign battle the general survives a reckless unsupported charge, recovers and helps his cavalry and infantry destroy Dan’s fortress. Careful hero positioning proves essential to the army’s resurrection-based resilience.

The Cybercanids — House Goliath

Dan’s gang becomes a collection of memorable survivors and casualties rather than an optimised roster. Street Peanut gains an unfortunate reputation for falling over, a repeatedly injured ganger barely moves at all, and even low-ranking fighters acquire stories that carry significance into later campaigns.

The Outrunners — Hive Enforcers

Paul’s retro science-fiction Enforcers use opposed fluorescent lighting effects to suggest a neon-lit underhive. Their campaign history is less immaculate than their law-enforcement image: one sniper loses an eye immediately, while a flash grenade rebounds into its own squad. The gang eventually brings Dan’s notorious leader to justice.

The Wildcards — House Orlock

Luke’s Orlocks are led by a gambler whose need for protection explains his gang-building. Individual equipment choices become running jokes: a frightening arc hammer proves unreliable, while a previously unarmed Juve acquires One Punch and makes his unlikely bare-handed approach a celebrated part of the campaign.
