Checkout all the rules that stack together to make the Strike Batteries really shine!

  • Salt the Earth – Command benefit that creates areas of difficult terrain around the battlefield, and can be a real initiative pain for Monstrous Creatures, Knight Titans and heck just launching assaults in general.
  • Ordnance Tyrant – His rules allow placing blast templates on FRIENDLY models as long as the hole of the template is on the enemy. Additionally he allows you to also target enemy models locked in combat as well.

So The Purge may be is a neat little way of shoehorning in Renegade Wyverns into any Chaos Army list, as they are allowed to ally with Chaos Space Marines per their faction rules.

Time to stock up on your small blast templates?

Bio: Virginia restless, miniature painter & cat dad. He blames LEGOs for all this, as there was something about those little-colored blocks that started it all. Spikey Bits sprung from Rob staying motivated to hobby on his backlog of projects, while sharing his knowledge with others during the early blogging era.

LEGO maniac and scale model hobbyist in the 80s turned miniature wargamer and trading card player ever since. He’s played every edition of Warhammer 40k and Warhammer Fantasy (since 5th Edition), but Titans of all sizes will always be his favorite! It’s even rumored that his hobby vault rivals the Solemnance Galleries, containing rulebooks filled with lore from editions long past, ancient packs of black-bordered Magic Cards, and minatures made of pewter and resin.
