InterviewWD 294 · pp. 4–5
Andy Chambers and Pete Haines explain the approaching rules revision as an evolution of third edition. Consolidated assault rules, vehicles firing more effectively on the move and altered rapid fire aim to make manoeuvre and close-range shooting more attractive. Restrictions on assaulting from closed transports address the dominance of the Rhino rush. The preview stresses compatibility with existing codexes and announces the new rulebook for 28 August.

Fanatic’s second issue promises updated Spyrers, Inquisitor’s Vindicare Assassin, an Epic campaign and piratical fleets for Battlefleet Gothic. Storm of Chaos web coverage and northern European events receive further notices. Forge World’s new Warhammer inn, themed clothing and forthcoming price changes round out the news. These announcements are retained as publication-era context rather than current availability information.

A correction restores text omitted from the Lesser Catachan Barking Toad entry in issue 292. It explains when attacks, tank shock or another exploding toad trigger the creature’s reaction. Kroot and Jungle Fighter Guardsmen receive a specific opportunity to kill it before it retaliates. The update completes the earlier optional creature rules rather than introduces a new unit.
