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.

George Dellapina presents a heavily converted Speed Freek army whose yellow vehicles and named characters share a desert scavenger theme. Toy wheels, plasticard and components from several ranges produce oversized buggies, Trukks and distinctive Deth Koptas. Infantry conversions distinguish armoured ’Ardboyz from scarred Skarboyz. An interview connects George’s bold painting style, personal background and tournament experiences to his enthusiasm for giving every model a recognisable identity.
