August 2003·pp. 118–119

THE SHORT VERSION

An Osgiliath scenario places Frodo under the influence of the Ring while Faramir’s defenders face an expanding Orc attack. The Evil player initially controls the Ringbearer and tries to bring him to the arriving Nazgûl; the Good side must protect him while breaking the attacking army. Reinforcements, heavy armour and unpredictable siege bombardment complicate the struggle, and a points-match option lets other heroes and forces take the central roles.

Where to Go & What to See: Games Day 2003

A visitor’s guide maps the Games Day arena and lower hall, showing how participation games, the studios, Forge World and Golden Demon fit into the event. Featured mega-battles recreate the Sundering, a clash involving twenty Warhound Titans and the defence of Helm’s Deep. The lower-hall plan places the miniature archive and design process beside painting displays, while the Golden Demon timetable explains registration, judging and collection arrangements for the 2003 show.

Swift and Deadly

Mounted Daemonettes are introduced through a Kislevite patrol’s disastrous encounter with Slaanesh’s hunters, whose speed and seductive appearance unsettle their victims before the killing begins. The accompanying background presents the riders and their sinuous steeds as predators that deliberately prolong a pursuit.

40K in 40 Minutes Revisited

Che Webster revisits the compact Patrol Clash format for the Eye of Terror campaign, explaining how restrictions on army size, wounds, armour and vehicles produce a short game using existing collections. The article also expands into paired play: an alliance chart distinguishes trusted, distrustful and forbidden partners, and a command procedure determines how allied forces act together. Suggested missions and advice for resolving unusual interactions keep the emphasis on practical, friendly games rather than treating the format as a separate rules engine.
