Grombrindal welcomes Warhammer’s twenty-fifth anniversary with a programme of design interviews, new scenarios and a large-battle expansion. The celebration culminates in a siege report using a vast collection of troops. He also introduces Jervis’s Chaos Apocalypse formations and the first instalment of a Middle-earth allies tactica, framing the issue as both a look back at the game’s origins and an invitation to try different ways of playing.

The Mordor preview promises forces from Barad-dûr, Minas Morgul and Cirith Ungol, expanding Sauron’s armies beyond ordinary Orcs and Trolls. Black Númenóreans, Morgul Knights and new Nazgûl models accompany a sourcebook that explores the Ringwraiths’ history and gives them a collective army list. A plastic Troll can represent either Mordor or Isengard. The article positions the June release as a broad increase in the options available to Evil collectors.
