’Eavy Metal: Elves of Ulthuan

August 2006·pp. 82–85

THE SHORT VERSION

High Elf characters demonstrate a palette of pale cloth and hair contrasted with richer jewels, carefully shaded metal and decorative patterns. Close views of Tyrion, Teclis, Eltharion and Imrik highlight the fine lines, runes and small motifs that make the models distinctive. The final banner and shield gallery connects freehand designs with Elven heraldry, showing how a restrained army palette can still accommodate phoenixes, dragons, stars and the emblems of different realms.

News: Waaagh! The Orcs!

The forthcoming Orcs & Goblins book and miniature range are previewed through returning characters, new Forest Goblin Spider Riders and expanded plastic character options. New rules, spells and magic items are promised to express the greenskins’ unruly character rather than simply repeat the previous army. The feature points ahead to the following book-focused issue, so it provides an announcement and visual introduction rather than the final army rules.

Standard Bearer: The Core Warhammer Game

Jervis Johnson explains the organising principle behind the forthcoming Warhammer rulebook. Instead of beginning with abstract movement and combat rules and postponing setup, the new presentation teaches how to collect an army, establish the battlefield and play a complete game in a useful sequence. He presents the focused core game as a foundation for future army books and expansions, with room for players who enjoy exploring different styles of battle.

Lizardmen: Forces of Lustria

The Lizardmen’s different castes are introduced through the duties left to them by the Old Ones. Saurus provide the army’s force and resilience, Skinks supply stealth, speed and poisoned harassment, and Chameleon Skinks take concealment further still. The ancient Slann combine immense magical ability with the memory of service to their vanished creators, giving the host a purpose beyond a collection of reptilian warriors.
