Battle Honours

January 2004·pp. 50–53

THE SHORT VERSION

Ian Huxley and Adam Hall enter a small tournament at Battle Honours UK in Evesham rather than simply helping to run it. Ian’s Chaos force earns three draws after games against Greenskins and both Elven factions, while Adam’s Lizardmen win decisively against Undead, Elves and Dwarfs. Short game accounts and rosters show their contrasting fortunes. The visit also highlights the shop’s gaming space and the resources available to organisers of independent events.

Obituary: Don Turnbull

A tribute supplied by Chris Turnbull recalls his father’s work in game design and the early years of White Dwarf. It connects the Fiend Factory feature to his later role at TSR UK, then adds personal memories of cooking, running games and playing pinball. The short obituary preserves both a publishing legacy and the family’s affectionate picture of the person behind it.

The Loss of the Solland Runefang

Graham McNeill follows the Runefangs from the alliance between Sigmar and the Dwarfs to Gorbad Ironclaw’s invasion of the Empire. The fall of Solland costs its count his life and sends his sword into enemy hands, while Altdorf survives a siege that nearly ends the nation. Centuries later an adventuring band recovers the weapon from a monstrous treasure hoard. Its return cannot restore the lost province, but makes the blade available again as a symbol and weapon of Imperial authority.
