Frozen Fields

Earlier today, warhammer.com, released an article that focused on winter battles. Being the ever obsessed player that I am, I had to try out the new stuff. I quickly found myself not caring for the 40k entry however. I simply didn't have crystals, and the crystals didn't change the game much, it was fairly boring. However I did rather enjoy the Warhammer Fantasy article, so I combined a bit of the two, and had a great time. It would behoove you to read the article before reading mine any further.

Now the tank rules, I kept, but that was pretty much it as far as 40k side of the article. I really liked the concept of fighting over a frozen lake, so I went with that. It was only a 750 point game, and on a very narrow table. Now I won't go into detail, but the rules for sinking into the ice, are a godsend if you fight space marines, they are almost guaranteed to fail, which is great. However, because I use Straken, he wound up falling through the ice because a nearby unit fled. I really enjoyed playing the winter battle, and recommend you and a buddy try it out.
