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.

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.

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.
