Editorial: The Spectacle of Gaming

November 2008·p. 1

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Latham explains why convincing scenery matters to the stories he imagines while playing, welcoming ready-made terrain when time for construction is scarce. The Realm of Battle board and Warriors of Chaos provide this month’s main gaming combination. He also shows Captain Perseon, a converted Sicarius painted for his Sons of Medusa, and introduces a two-part Marine painting guide intended to connect basic methods with ’Eavy Metal detail.

Janu-Waaagh! and Studio Dispatches

January’s Ork preview promises plastic Nobz, Stormboyz, Gretchin and a Battlewagon, with Fil Dunn’s advance example appearing later in the issue. Studio news reports a sixteen-player, twenty-thousand-point Ork event organised by Dom Murray and won by the greenskins. Other notices mark Warhammer Online’s arrival, Adam Troke’s return to the web team and the Perry twins’ long service, capturing the hobby activity surrounding the coming releases.

Warhammer Online: The Age of Reckoning Begins

Warhammer Online’s release is framed by converging crises: greenskins at Karak Eight Peaks, Chaos in Ostland and Dark Elf attacks on Ulthuan. A council at Altdorf unites Karl Franz, Thorgrim and Finubar against their enemies. The notice presents realm-against-realm conflict as the computer game’s defining experience, inviting players to choose an allegiance within that shared war rather than describing a separate tabletop rules supplement.

Bound in Iron

Phil Kelly explains the mortal northern tribes and the bargain that separates a Chaos Warrior from an ordinary Marauder. Heavy armour, strong Core troops and the challenge-driven Eye of the Gods turn that background into an aggressive army. Sample forces show both balanced and monster-supported approaches. Mark Harrison’s sculpting discussion and the selected artwork connect the new designs with older Chaos imagery while preserving individual champions within recognisable units.
