The Blood Angels: The Flaw, Black Rage and Red Thirst

June 2007·pp. 68–70

THE SHORT VERSION

Sanguinius’s death leaves a psychic inheritance that can overwhelm his descendants with memories of the Primarch’s final battle. The account distinguishes this Black Rage from the blood craving of the Red Thirst, and explains the Sanguinary Priests’ role in preserving the blood used to create new Marines. Their long lives and pursuit of perfection make the Blood Angels accomplished artists and warriors, even as awareness of their curse darkens that idealism.

News: For the Glory of Gondor

Two forthcoming supplements approach Gondor from different directions: The Return of the King follows the novel’s journey, while Gondor in Flames surveys the realm’s armies and history. New figures broaden the Fiefdoms, Minas Tirith, the Dead and their Haradrim enemies. The preview places the coming releases within the wider struggle for the Pelennor Fields rather than reproducing their future scenarios or profiles.

Underground Advance

The new plastic Miners combine the Dwarfs’ working lives with their battlefield identity, supplying drills, carts, a pony and blasting equipment as well as warriors. New heroes and an Oath stone reinforce the idea of an army defined by honour and endurance. A starter force and the Miners’ tunnelling rules show how these practical craftsmen can add surprise and mobility to an otherwise deliberate Dwarf battle line.

Happy Birthday Grombrindal: Thirty Years of White Dwarf

Guy Haley follows White Dwarf from a small role-playing magazine into an international publication centred on Citadel miniatures. A timeline uses landmark issues to trace new games, plastic kits, army books, battle reports and changes in editors and production. The feature also explains the period of differing national editions and the recent return to shared Studio content, making the magazine’s changing format part of the wider history of Games Workshop.
