Editorial: The Empire Marches to War

Grombrindal welcomes the renewed Empire as the Dwarfs’ longstanding human ally, recalling the debt between their peoples since Sigmar’s time. The editorial contrasts the realm’s wizards, engineers, ambitious nobles and varied war machines with the ordinary infantry at its heart. Supporting detachments and cooperation between regiments are presented as the characteristic strength of its armies.

Get Ready for the Nemesis War!

The previous global participation campaign’s conclusion is followed by the announcement of a worldwide Warhammer campaign for summer 2007. Its focus will be the Nemesis Crown, an ancient Dwarven magical artefact whose reappearance promises to draw armies into conflict. Readers are encouraged to prepare their collections while further details of the campaign and its website are still to come.

Leaders of Men; Faith & Steel

The character discussion compares the economical Empire General and Captain with the harder-hitting Templar Grand Master, the Arch Lector’s religious support and the increased cost of Wizards. Warrior Priests now extend Hatred against a wider range of enemies, while Engineers bring eccentric devices such as pigeon bombs and mechanical horses. The feature emphasises choosing leadership and support that strengthen the infantry rather than assuming every hero must be a supreme fighter.
