Although this is the 4
th
 Scroll I’ve produced, I’m fortu-
nately backed up by our new help, Nicolas. As you can
see with his amazing work on this issue to prevent me
from using paper and hotglue to finish this issue.
So, what do we have in this issue of the Scroll? We have
2 cool armies from the community, both are Warriors of
the Dark Gods. So get some plate armor, crush a skull or
two, and look at the pretty pictures. Besides that we
have a sneak peek from the Vermin LAB, some updates
on the Campaign from PTG, and the latest update from
A Tale of Four Armies.
I want to wrap up today's editorial with a callout for
help for those that want to help with the 9
th
 Scroll. Not
only with adding content like army shots, or tactic dis-
cussions, but also we could really use some new blood
to help out with creating the 9
th
  Scroll itself. Editors,
designers, bloggers, all are welcome to join up, and help
make our magazine better and better! Just pm me
(@Blonde_Beer) on our forum if you want to know
more!

We received this update about the VS book from one of
our sources down in the basements beneath the 9
th
Age
headquarters. It might be even trustworthy informa-
tion, but you can never be too certain when dealing
with the Vermin Swarm!
Army wide coordi-
nation and leader-
ship
"The power of the legions of Avras was not in the
individual, but the command structure. Every ma-
niple knew it's place, every legionnaire had a role
and a purpose. Victory was not won by cunning
heroics, but implacable strategy. The chain of com-
mand was a weapon greater than the sword or
javelin. As long as the eagles flew, Avras prevailed."
- The Rise of Man, Vol. XI, Aschau U. Press
"I have watched the rats in the walls. They form up
to battle the snails. The eagle flies in shadow. Plan
to conquer, conquer to the plan. The apple does not
fall far from the tree, and the rot nourishes the
roots."
- Scribbles in the margins of a copy of The Rise of
Man, Vol. XI, Aschau U. Press
Like the ancient legions of Avras, the Vermin legions of
today come with a well-defined command structure.
Within this structure, supporting units profit from this
command structure and turn individually weak sol-
diers into a strong combined force.
With multiple large units on the battlefield we hope
this will allow for you, the general, to maintain a decent
level of control across a large battle line. Should this
control come under threat of failure, then the local unit
champions can force the heaving masses back into for-
mation using death as a motivator to hold the line.
We wanted to make sure that we got across the feeling
that life is cheap (we will come on to this more later),
that the Vermin Swarm army wants to be organised
where it can while simultaneously granting the Vermin
Swarm the ability to play wider than expected given the
number of models involved.
