Soloman’s Soul Engine

March 2006·pp. 62–63

THE SHORT VERSION

Soloman Vantor has mistaken the promises of corrupted wyrdstone and a hell-forged machine for a path to divine power. The engine traps souls, but completing his ambition requires the six priests he has summoned back to Mordheim. Their dreams originated with Soloman rather than Morr, and the competing warbands are carrying their intended victims toward him. This revelation reframes the campaign’s apparent pilgrimage as a carefully prepared betrayal.

Editorial: For the Greater Good

Owen Rees introduces the expanded Tau Empire, especially Shadowsun, the Vespid and the new vehicles. The army deal offers an early opportunity to collect them before the normal release, while returning Tallarn models and Specialist Games releases provide other temptations. A free Golden Demon booklet and the coming summer campaign round out a month whose centrepiece is the Tau’s renewed expansion.

The News

The news previews Cities of Death as an urban expansion supported by modular plastic buildings and stratagems that give ordinary armies new choices. Forge World’s Cadian equipment, Mordheim components and an Old West historical release show other ways of extending existing collections. Studio sculpting previews, a Copenhagen gaming venue and the Golden Demon winners booklet place forthcoming products alongside the people and places that support the hobby.

The Third Sphere and the Tau Empire

The renamed Tau Empire codex reflects a growing power whose armies include more than the Tau species alone. Expansion after the Damocles conflict supplies the setting for new conquests and new allies. Aun’Va represents central Ethereal authority, while Shadowsun embodies a new generation of commanders whose approach differs from Farsight’s independent path. Their contrast gives the new military options a political and historical context.
