Dwarf Beer Carts

October 2004·pp. 23–24

THE SHORT VERSION

Beer carts use a simplified chariot framework suited to moving precious cargo rather than charging an enemy. The wagon, mules and crew function as one model, with a handgunner able to fire around it. Bazrak can ride aboard, but the civilian vehicle gives him no additional armour protection. The entry makes the convoy a tangible part of the skirmish and supplies the profiles needed to play the ambush.

Back to the, er, past…

Paul Sawyer looks back at early Citadel catalogues and the Regiments of Renown that once shaped his collecting plans. The return of Mengil’s Manflayers connects those memories to the current release schedule. Staff members bring in old favourites, and Sawyer recalls his own first purchases and painting efforts. Revisiting these roots becomes a pleasure in its own right, alongside enthusiasm for new miniatures.

Games Workshop News

Ogre Kingdoms concept art and the Battle for Macragge starter set lead this month’s previews. Specialist-game support, Forge World Sentinel weapons and Black Library’s Games Day plans broaden the news. A school championship in Nottingham offers a glimpse of organised Middle-earth play, while The Old West outlines posse campaigns and planned expansions. Staff project reports range from Bugman’s terrain to Eldar repainting and large Chaos battles.

Bugman’s Lament

Nick Kyme introduces a four-part campaign about the destruction of Bugman’s brewery. Rather than changing established history, the linked battles explore whether timely warnings and successful defences could have averted the disaster. Bugman’s family history, trade routes and brewing community explain why the settlement matters to the Dwarfs. Git Guzzler’s growing Goblin alliance turns the valuable beer shipments into the first targets of a larger plan.
