THE SHORT VERSION

A thousand-point High Elf garrison confronts Daemons pouring through a broken coastal waystone. The Daemons must move several substantial units through the opposing line and off its deployment edge. Spellcasters near the ruined stone receive compulsory extra magical power, creating both opportunity and risk. Escaping Daemon units can join the next battle freely, while an Elven victory reduces the invaders’ later points allowance.

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.
