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.

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.

Johan Kolkjaer’s tournament-winning Emperor’s Children combine older miniatures, current models and extensive conversions. A flesh-toned scheme avoids the usual bright pink and purple, with red and brown ink treatments unifying the force. Captions describe a Daemon Prince assembled from Warhammer and Inquisitor components, a rebuilt Dreadnought and individual champions. The result reflects influences from Realms of Chaos and John Blanche while giving each Marine a distinct appearance.
