The Lores of Magic

September 2007·pp. 84–85

THE SHORT VERSION

Eight Studio gamers explain what they value in the rulebook’s magical disciplines. Movement tricks make Shadow dangerous, Metal punishes armour and Fire offers straightforward damage, while Death combines attacks with morale pressure. Heavens, Life, Beasts and Light each supply different mixtures of protection, disruption and combat support. The examples connect specific spells to tactical tasks, encouraging players to choose a Lore that complements their force and the enemy they expect to meet.

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.

Sample Army: Christian Byrne’s Black Legion Warband

Christian’s 1,497-point force uses the Battleforce contents as a starting point but replaces its transport with elite reinforcements. Berzerkers and a Defiler lead the advance, supported by ordinary Marines, Possessed and unpredictable Spawn. Deep-striking Terminators and two commanders deliver a later decisive attack. The commentary explains each unit’s contribution, including a Tzeentch Sorcerer’s Warptime and the ability of the revised Marines to combine bolter fire with credible assault support.
