War for Hirestel Preview: Lesitan's Garden






The entire realm of Hirestel (formally Qhaysh) was created by a mad Tzeentch sorcerer named Lesitan. While he was slain in the middle of the war that erupted for control of Qhaysh, his magical essence was sealed in what he considered his greatest creation: his garden. The last bit of Lesitan's influence rests here, and it's here that the greatest magical energies exist! What a prize for the warband that manages to wrest control of this region!

The first way to play is a team multiplayer battleplan called True Magic! Three markers - "The Abyss", "The Warrior", and "The Innocent" - provide three ways to score! Coordination between teammates is key here to make sure to optimize scoring and keep opponents from scoring themselves. This is a retooling of THE GARDEN from the first league, a one-on-one match I really enjoyed. Also, this is 1 or 3 Team Multiplayer Battleplans, something I took into consideration after people saying they would like to see more team games.

The second battleplan is the Seize the Relic mission from the Skirmish book! A deadly, magical storm is moving through the Garden, and two warbands have to race to shelter before taken over by the storm. Is the storm Lesitan's doing somehow?!

The third way to play in Lesitan's Garden is good ol' Starstrike from GHB2017! It's a blast to play, you all know it, and it's here.

The key to all of these missions? Savvy maneuvering! Cut your opponent off, retreat tactically, and you'll be the army to control Lesitan's Garden.

War for Hirestel! 1 week from Sunday!
