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 news reveals the large plastic Giant kit and its interchangeable identities for Greenskins, Ogres, Chaos and mercenary armies. Clint Langley’s card artwork, historical releases and fiction merchandise sit alongside Simon Egan’s burrowing Forge World Trygon. Mordheim returns as both a boxed game and a forthcoming magazine campaign. The varied announcements emphasize model-building possibilities as well as additions to existing forces.

This intermediate workshop gives the wandering Dwarf heroes unusual colours while preserving their sturdy equipment. Dark blue-grey clothing, a green shield and a red bedroll contrast with layered steel and warm gold. Hair, leather and flesh each receive their own controlled highlight sequence, with washes restoring depth after lighter paint is applied. A pale patterned cloth border and common earth bases finish the pair, followed by an Iron Hills force and related Dwarf character gallery.
