Owen Rees welcomes the Easterlings as worthy opponents for his Gondor cavalry and introduces the staff campaign around Mordheim’s Temple of Morr. His first evil force centres on a Vampire whose suitably dramatic name becomes a running joke. Tournament qualification, doubles preparation and several unfinished armies illustrate the competing demands on his hobby time. He also previews free reference sheets and the return of Jervis Johnson’s column.

The fortress workshop expands the architectural style of A Shadow in the East into a complete set of walls, towers and a gatehouse. Precisely cut foamboard creates the main structures, with bevelled battlements and firing slots adding depth without elaborate materials. Recessed doors, scored balsa gates and card banding complete the functional details. Textured walls, drybrushed warm earth colours, pale tiles and gold fittings tie the castle to the Eastern army.
