THE SHORT VERSION

A nick guides the drill, and a paint mark transferred from the installed pin locates the corresponding hole on the second part. Paperclip wire or brass rod then strengthens the join. A second example partially saws through an elbow, bends the remaining metal carefully and fills the opening, showing how drilling and limited cutting can change a pose while preserving enough material to support it.

The News

A Sonic Lance Revenant Titan, simplified troop kits and brush-cap superglue lead the news. The Thorians sourcebook becomes freely downloadable, the Mines of Moria receives website support, and the Citadel Miniatures Hall opens to visitors. Book previews accompany the launch of Dark Millennium’s collectible cards and online campaign, while a longer notice explains the company’s contemporary response to counterfeit miniatures.

Into the Dark

Adam Troke coaches newcomers Andy Stewart and Sean Turtle through four Mines of Moria starter scenarios. Andy protects the Fellowship while Sean learns to exploit the Goblins’ numbers and the Hobbits’ vulnerability. Archery, an isolated Aragorn, reinforcing trapdoors and finally a Cave Troll introduce rules progressively, with each player explaining plans and lessons afterward.

Scenario One: Into the Dark

The Fellowship must cross the room without losing anyone, while Goblin bowmen need only one victim. Andy’s first move exposes Merry, and Sean kills him immediately to secure Evil’s objective. Both continue anyway: Andy uses pillars and stronger heroes as protection while Aragorn and Legolas eliminate the archers. The short game teaches the importance of accounting for an opponent’s movement before assuming a Hobbit is screened.
