THE SHORT VERSION

Owen Rees and Rik Turner visit Reading’s enlarged store and the terrain projects supporting its games. The displays include a large Helm’s Deep battlefield, three-dimensional campaign maps and a Dwarf airship inspired by Dragonslayer for a War of the Beard encounter with Dragon Princes. The report connects the new playing and painting space to an active cycle of building, demonstrating and eventually sharing scenery with a local club.

Editorial: The Greenskins Return

Grombrindal views the resurgent Orcs and Goblins from the perspective of their Dwarf enemies. Their refusal to disappear after defeat, appetite for fighting and newly effective weapons make them a formidable recurring threat. He nevertheless recognises the appeal of commanding an unpredictable army of monsters, suggesting that even a Dwarf might learn something useful by leading the foe for a change.

News: Eldar Attack and Building-Tastic

The news page looks ahead to opportunities to inspect the revised Eldar range and rules before release, alongside a staff terrain project inspired by Cities of Death. The Direct team has turned its new modular buildings into the Celestine District, a personal part of the Sybilla Tertius campaign setting. Competition results and a reader’s irreverent Tyranid answer complete the page’s mixture of release news and hobby activity.

Waaagh! Da Orcs: Designer’s Notes

Mat Ward describes an army book designed to make ordinary Orcs attractive while retaining the variety and mischief of Goblins. More effective choppas, stronger leaders and a once-per-game Waaagh! reward large fighting units, while simplified animosity can propel them towards the enemy as well as interrupt their advance. Revised magic, nets, Squig units and Rare choices preserve the army’s unpredictability, and returning warlords connect those changes with a fuller account of greenskin history.
