Editorial: The Eldar Return

Grombrindal introduces the Eldar release through their ancient knowledge, struggle for survival and impressive new miniatures. He also points readers towards the Night Goblins’ continuing presence and the start of a broader tactics series, while the Middle-earth battle promises a contest between two experienced developers. His joking frustration at the lack of Dwarfs links the varied contents with the magazine’s familiar narrative voice.

March of the Night Goblins

The Night Goblin horde relies on numbers, leadership support and threats that make an opponent nervous before the fighting starts. Nets and Fanatics improve ordinary regiments, while Squig Herds and Hoppers supply the hitting power their handlers lack. Skarsnik offers a stronger general and disruptive schemes, and the Crooked Moons sample army adds Trolls for durability while warning that their own stupidity makes staying near the leader essential.

Night Goblin Regiment and Fanatics: Component Guides

The illustrated guides identify the regiment’s body, weapon and command options and the separate components that give Fanatics their character. Spears, bows, nets and distinctive leaders allow the player to make the unit’s chosen role visible, while mushrooms, Snotlings and other small details personalise the spinning ball-and-chain models. The special launch figure provides another way to integrate a Fanatic into the regiment itself.
