Path of the Speedwaaagh!

May 2026·pp. 60–61

THE SHORT VERSION

A campaign map traces Wazdakka’s apparently irrational journey from ruined agri-worlds and the conquest of Scalex VI to rival Ork territories, daemon-haunted Pulvenor and an Exodite hunting ground. Victories bring new followers and trophies, while the Great Rift repeatedly frustrates attempts to reach the galactic north. The route finally converges on Ghazghkull at Golgotha, where an alliance sends the Speedwaaagh! to the Plains of Anthrand as Armageddon’s renewed invasion begins.

Arcane Inferno: The Collegiate at War

The Collegiate Arcane trains gifted humans to control dangerous realm-magic and channels that expertise into Sigmar’s armies. Its eight Colleges draw elemental motes from the world around them, so even a wizard far from their native realm can find the energies needed for healing, deception, metalworking or destructive battle spells. Masters of Combat Arcana supplement scholarly training with practical wards and counter-spells suited to the front line.

Spelltomes and Sorcerous Duels

Practised battle spells can become instinctive, while grimoires preserve complex invocations and help a wizard prepare unfamiliar magic in advance. The Colleges also stage dangerous contests suited to their disciplines: Bright College apprentices endure fiery trials in the Crucible, whereas Grey Wizards seek victory through illusions that can imprison an unwary mind. A short scene illustrates the lesson as Blissa abandons a failing shield, sidesteps a sorcerer’s attack and kills him with conjured fire-serpents.

Armageddon: A Planet at War

A conversational guide introduces Armageddon as an industrial hive world whose huge population, manufacturing capacity and strategic position make its survival important to the Imperium. It separates the planet’s actual wars from the versions preserved in Imperial records, where Angron’s invasion was suppressed, and follows the conflict through Ghazghkull’s assaults and the long rivalry between the Ork warlord and Commissar Yarrick.
