Some of you have been asking about background in-

publishing Background Compendiums of almost all of
the races over the last year. We compiled the list be-
low of the 9th Scroll’s and which compendiums are in
which issue, just to make it easier for you to find! I`ve
also included some previously published but seldom
noticed background teasers in this month’s scroll.
A big Thank You to Blonde Beer for holding the fort for
me while I was away for the last issue release. If you
would like to give feedback on the 9th scroll, or any of
the articles, please find the relevant 9th Scroll thread
on the forum, usually in the general discussion. It
would be great to hear what you liked and what you
didn’t like with the magazine, so we can keep improv-
ing. Don`t forget to share the scroll with your fellow
gamers and on social media!

ACROSS THE MAKHAR STEPPE
Battle Report by Lars Frencken and Nick Kuijsten
What an opportunity, asked to do a battle report for not just one but two new books! These books of course
were the soon to be released Daemon Legions book and the new Warriors of the Dark Gods Auxiliary Book:
Makhar Khans.
Not knowing exactly what to expect, I set upon build-
ing a list with the models I had available to me. The
Makhar book relies heavily on special deployment and
shooting, so I opted to include this as much as possi-
ble. Starting with the General, the Gulya (a Barbarian
Chief), I upgraded him to a Patriarch, giving him +1
Discipline, +1 Attack and Battle Focus for his unit. He
also was kitted with some nice items. One item was
from the Ogre Khans army book, and another was the
Cloak of Feathers which grants devastating charge
(lightning reflexes). The Enaree (wizard) had the op-
tion to ride a Giant Elk from the Sylvan Elf book, so I
reminded myself “Lars, when someone offers you a
chance to ride a Giant Elk, you don’t say ‘No!’” I also
took the ‘Instant Tall Grass’ item (Editor’s Note: at the
time of writing the names were work in progress),
giving me the option to place a field on the battle-
field. As I mentioned earlier the Makhar have a lot
of special deployment, for example the sheep dogs
seemed interesting: They are like Warhounds except
they have the “Release the Hounds” rule replaced for
Vanguard. The Makhar Flayers were Fallen which also
with the option to Vanguard and the Makhar Horse
Archers use special 3+ bows!
Army list: Lars Frencken, 4500pts Warriors of the
Dark Gods Auxiliary Book Makhar.

ISSUE #012 - NOVEMBER 2018
Pre-Game Sequence
We rolled Frontline Clash and King of the Hill. The Makhar’s selected the side of the table with the forest on
his right flank near his deployment zone and The Daemons’ ended up with a second forest on their own right
flank.
Makhar Khans:
The Makhar Enaree Wizard Adept
took Tornado which is the Makhar Hereditary Spell,
letting you place a 3” tornado on the board which
functions as cover and dangerous terrain, with Awak-
en the Beast as the second spell. The Enaree Wizard
Master took Fireball, Cascading Fire, Flaming Swords,
Pyroclastic Flow. Deployment was pretty basic and
with so many units I needed the entire board to be
available, but I decided to keep the shooting to my
left flank and the hard hitters on my right. The Patri-
arch and Wizard Adept joined the 23 Makhar Infantry
unit, while the Wizard Master went solo on his Big
Elk! The Wizard Master used Instant Tall Grass to give
me some fields on my right Flank and the Wasteland
Torch was used to turn a building into a ruin in the
centre of the board.
The Makhars vanguard a grand total of 5 units and
then take the first turn.
Daemon Legions:
My Deceiver of Envy Wizard Mas-
ter took the following spells: Magical Sustenance (H),
Ancestral Aid, Spectral Blades, and Touch of the Reap-
er. Lars deployed all his units at once, so I deployed
my army with the flank covered by the hill. I was try-
ing a refused flank hoping to hold of the huge army
of Makhars! The Hellhounds where placed inside the
forest to gain soft cover from the incoming shooting
on the other side of the table while still having the op-
tion to countercharge any chaff that could block my
Collectors or Lemures. The Imps where placed behind
and between the Lemures and second unit of Collec-
tors to able to shoot and not get charged threatened
from the first turn. All units, except the furies on both
flanks were within 12” of the general and the battle
standard.
