The forthcoming Empire release is previewed through a fuller account of its history, renewed characters and a fresh range of miniatures. Plastic State Troops and Ludwig Schwarzhelm demonstrate the visual direction, while the army book promises both familiar human soldiers and inventions such as clockwork horses and grenade-launching weapons. The announcement frames the Empire as a major human defence against Chaos ahead of the January release.

Phil Kelly explains how the new Eldar codex combines a much fuller presentation of the race with one flexible army list. Craftworld themes remain possible through unit choices rather than separate force charts, while more specialised Aspect Warriors, a new Autarch and revised support units reward coordinated play. The changes aim to give Guardians, jetbikes, walkers and grav-tanks clear jobs without allowing one exceptionally independent unit to replace the combined efforts of the rest of the host.

The Autarch applies experience of several warrior paths to commanding an entire host. Equipment borrowed from Aspect traditions allows the same entry to become a combat specialist, a mobile tank hunter or a fast threat to artillery, while strategic mastery helps the army’s reserves arrive. The feature presents the leader’s flexibility as a way to serve the wider battle plan rather than merely choosing the most elaborate combination of weapons.
