The Army of the Night

May 2008·p. 91

THE SHORT VERSION

An Imperial army waits beside the Stir as unnatural darkness and mist announce the approaching undead. Cannon and small-arms fire smash the first Zombies, only for Necromancers to repair the corpses and send them forward again. Bats, Blood Knights, Ghouls and ancient Skeletons assemble into a terrifying host. The final arrival of the Drakenhof Guard reveals its leader: Konrad von Carstein, whose unmistakable madness spreads fear through the soldiers before the assault begins.

Editorial: The Daemons Arrive

Grombrindal introduces the simultaneous Daemon releases as an unusual shared project for both major Warhammer settings. Design interviews explain the undertaking, while a Dark Angels battle and an Old World campaign demonstrate the armies in action. The rest of the issue continues the Middle-earth allies tactica, develops a characterful undead collection and examines exceptional painted models. The introduction balances the month’s daemonic invasion with practical collecting and painting projects.

Scions of the Dark Gods

Andy Hall explores the return of independent Daemon armies with Alan Merrett, Mat Ward and Alessio Cavatore. The project restores the attention once given to Chaos in Realm of Chaos, develops mythic individual characters and shares a miniature range across two settings. Mat explains a self-contained Fantasy army, while Alessio describes the unusual deployment of its far-future counterpart. Art discussion, a Soul Grinder profile and basic painting recipes show how the shared identity becomes distinct tabletop forces.
