’Eavy Metal Showcase: Dwarfs

February 2008·pp. 96–99

THE SHORT VERSION

The Studio gallery presents the leaders whose skill and authority hold a Dwarf throng together. Thorgrim’s campaign against the Book of Grudges and Grombrindal’s legendary appearances frame lords, standard bearers and oath-stone heroes. Runesmiths bind magic into equipment, Engineers combine craftsmanship with battlefield experience and Slayers seek redemption through dangerous foes. The painted models connect those distinct callings to a culture shaped by memory, honour and relentless defence of its holds.

The Southrons March

Grombrindal welcomes Harad’s expanded forces, whose Mûmakil, Corsairs and Mahûd promise a colourful and dangerous challenge for Gondor. The issue pairs their designer’s account with a large battle, then turns to a Studio map campaign and Empire tactics. The Shokk Attack Gun and customised Baneblades provide substantial hobby projects, while a Dan Abnett interview brings the developing Horus Heresy novels into the magazine’s wider view of the settings.

News: Twenty-five Years of Warhammer

The anniversary preview announces an April celebration of Warhammer through games, interviews, scenarios and store activities. John Blanche’s original Harry the Hammer cover inspires a special miniature by Aly Morrison, connecting the event to the game’s earliest imagery. The Black Library’s Time of Legends series will also revisit foundational stories, beginning with Sigmar and continuing into Nagash’s rise. The plans join rules history, art and fiction in one year of celebration.

Conquest of Empires

Phil Kelly reports on a twelve-player Studio campaign across more than a hundred specially prepared hexes. Fabled Aurentia contains dangerous seas, volcanoes, wizard towers and mystery opponents, while winter events and a spreading plague disrupt expanding kingdoms. Player accounts show how those mechanisms change army selection and territorial strategy. After five months and more than fifty battles, Ogre realms dominate, but the organisers conclude that the many memorable surprises also made a case for simpler rules next time.
