Event Profile: Tempus Fugitives and Campaign Weekends

February 2008·p. 103

THE SHORT VERSION

Stuart Mackaness describes a club that grew from attending narrative weekends to running ambitious campaigns of its own. Plans for Albion group players by race in a difficult landscape, while the Damocles Gulf brings Imperial, Tau and Ork forces into a three-sided struggle. Experience from the Age of Apostasy and Second Tyrannic War informs an approach in which themed armies, uneven situations and contributions to the shared story matter alongside winning individual battles.

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.

Black Library: The Horus Heresy and Legion

An overview places the growing Heresy series within the Emperor’s Great Crusade and the betrayals that follow. Dan Abnett then describes Legion as a mystery about the Alpha Legion, using Imperial Army characters to offer an unfamiliar view of the conflict. He discusses negotiating major revelations with Alan Merrett, coordinating with fellow authors and constructing a thirty-first millennium distinct from the later Imperium. The interview emphasises intrigue and uncertain loyalties alongside the series’ battles.
