Mighty Empires: Famous Campaigns

September 2007·pp. 64–69

THE SHORT VERSION

Jervis replaces open-ended territorial expansion with a campaign designed around a particular story, fixed armies and defined victory conditions. Banners manoeuvre on hexes, forced marches cost strength and Warhammer battles determine retreats and continuing losses. Rivers shape the tabletop, neighbouring armies provide support and sieges threaten settlements. The complete system supplies a framework for refighting the setting’s history, with the Idol of Gork showing how scenario-specific restrictions and rewards can create a recognisable narrative.

Traitors Across the Void

Grombrindal introduces the new Chaos Space Marines through their treachery, ambition and abundant opportunities for converting plastic miniatures. The issue’s campaign rules, magic tactics and Middle-earth Orc guide offer other ways to develop a collection, while the coming Apocalypse expansion promises battles on a much larger scale. The editorial links those projects through the pleasure of turning new models and background into personal armies.

News: Armies of Ulthuan

The preview sets the High Elves’ enduring military and magical traditions against the rise and fall of younger civilisations. A forthcoming army book accompanies plastic commanders, mages, alternative chariots and a dynamically posed dragon. The range promises both new troop options and returning characters, presenting Ulthuan as a civilisation whose long history continues to shape the armies collectors can assemble.

The Idol of Gork

Grotfang’s Iron Claw tribe attempts to recover lands seized by Rutgar of Wissenland in a two-player campaign drawn from the earlier Idol of Gork setting. Each side commands four differently sized forces, with its leading army initially waiting for reinforcements. Capturing the Orc idols, using Goblin schemes in forests and exploiting Konrad’s fast raiders give particular formations distinct jobs. Victory requires both defeating the enemy commander and taking his stronghold, making manoeuvre and settlement control equally important.
