Autarchs: The Path of Command

January 2007·p. 95

THE SHORT VERSION

The Autarch models combine equipment from different Aspect traditions to express the many lifetimes of training that precede the Path of Command. Explanatory callouts identify inherited helms, forcefield protection and craftworld symbols on the Studio examples. Interchangeable weapons and backpacks also permit physical variation, reinforcing the connection between a commander’s individual history and the appearance of the miniature.

Coming Soon: Dark Angels

A preview of the March Dark Angels release introduces a codex combining the Chapter’s secret history, successors, organisation and heraldry with rules for fielding its forces. The miniature overview highlights Company Masters, a compatible plastic accessory frame and the Master of the Ravenwing on the last remaining Imperial jetbike. The page presents the army’s distinctive identity ahead of its full release.

Warhosts of the Firstborn

Mat Ward traces the ancient Elves’ power and decline from the Second Age through the wars caused by Sauron’s deception. The feature introduces Eregion, Rivendell, the Grey Havens and the House of Finrod as distinct backgrounds for collections. Suggested heraldry is explicitly an interpretation influenced by the films, giving players fitting uniforms without claiming Tolkien supplied definitive colour schemes for every realm.

Warhammer 40,000 Tactica: Assault Troops

Alessio Cavatore explains how assault units reach combat through speed, transports, special deployment and careful use of cover, supported by the rest of the army’s firepower. Equipment advice balances grenades, power weapons and hidden power fists against over-investment, and warns that shooting can remove the targets needed for a charge. Contributors then show the principles through faction examples, from summoned Bloodletters to Scarab Swarms and an entire Assault Marine force.
