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.

Phil Kelly’s balanced 1,999-point list uses a powerful but economical Exalted Hero, two Sorcerers and a substantial infantry core. Differently marked Warriors fulfil distinct jobs, supported by Marauders, Knights, Horsemen, hounds and Spawn. Fast units protect against flanking and threaten war machines, while magical items raise the Sorcerers’ output. The commentary shows how complementary units prevent an armoured army from relying only on its direct hitting power.
