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.

Adam Troke expands the Dwarf battlehost into a near-thousand-point force led by Durin and Mardin. A compact armoured centre advances under banner support, Rangers secure the flanks and a ballista group attacks suitable targets from range. The guide discusses alternative expansions and the value of protecting the artillery with a captain, while Mat Ward advises opponents to isolate and surround Dwarves instead of relying on ineffective long-range fire.
