Battle for the Tower Hills

January 2007·pp. 56–57

THE SHORT VERSION

After Fornost falls, an army of the Witch-king attempts to seize the palantír protected by the Elves of the Grey Havens. A five-hundred-point Elven force faces seven hundred and fifty points of leaderless enemies around a central building and woods. Enchanted defences grant healing saves and recurring magical blasts, while the invaders cannot break; the Elves must defeat them and preserve at least one hero to claim more than a draw.

Sigmar’s Heirs: Empire Designers’ Notes

Adam Troke explores the new Empire book with contributions from John Blanche and Gav Thorpe, stressing a realm sustained by ordinary people amid dangerous supernatural surroundings. A fuller history and provincial background accompany a more flexible army list, including characters such as Karl Franz, unrestricted Greatswords and options for religious armies. The review compares leaders, State Troops, cavalry and experimental artillery while showing the richly detailed new plastic kits.

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.

Tactics of the Firstborn

The guide explains how Elven archery, high Fight, strong Courage and heavy armour compensate for being outnumbered. Diagrammed formations keep protected spear-armed warriors ahead of archers until the line reverses for melee support, adapting to tougher opponents when necessary. A roughly five-hundred-point sample Grey Havens force places Círdan near the main body, with captains enabling Heroic actions and specialised cohorts supporting each other.
