Index Xenos: Swordwind of Biel-tan

February 2005·pp. 62–65

THE SHORT VERSION

Adam Troke frames Biel-tan through an Imperial investigation of Eldar physiology, culture, technology and military action. Its exceptional number of Aspect shrines and powerful warrior court support swift assaults intended to reclaim culturally significant worlds, leaving Imperial authorities unsure how to classify an enemy that also destroys their foes.

The News

Andy Hoare previews Lustria as an environment for existing armies, with jungle encounters and a linked Sotek campaign rather than a conventional army book. Other news covers Sharkey and Worm, Forge World’s Griffon, the forthcoming role-playing relaunch and historical card-game expansions, alongside new hobby resources and preparation for the War of the Ring campaign.

Nick celebrates a memorable Bugman finale while the team prepares for both Necromunda and Battle Companies.

The Under-Empire

Anthony Reynolds describes the vast network that lets Skaven move unseen beneath cities and between continents, using stolen Dwarf halls as well as newly excavated tunnels. Skavenblight, Karak Eight Peaks, Crookback Mountain and Bitter-Sump show different forms of this hidden civilisation, whose crowded populations, coerced labour and treacherous clans make conquest inseparable from internal rivalry.
