Grombrindal recalls Khazad-dûm’s transformation from a magnificent Dwarf kingdom into the lair of the Balrog. The new sourcebook and miniatures offer ways to recreate both the realm’s strength and its destruction, with Dwarves, goblins and a dragon joining the range. New Warhammer greenskins and the magazine’s approaching thirtieth anniversary complete an editorial concerned with returning to old stories through new collections.

The forthcoming Mighty Empires supplement gives individual battles a strategic context through a configurable hex-tile map. Mountains, plains and rivers can represent existing regions or an invented territory, while the accompanying booklet links battles through recruitment and other campaign actions. The preview’s emphasis is on making victories contribute to a continuing struggle rather than supplying the complete campaign rules in the magazine.

The returning greenskins range centres on plastic Black Orcs, the first regiment designed entirely with the Studio’s digital sculpting technology. New bosses, trolls and Goblin characters expand the surrounding horde, while Gorbad embodies the historical scale of a great Waaagh! Background, kit diagrams, a starter army and a complete Black Orc painting project explain how the releases can become a characterful collection rather than just isolated display models.
