Standard Bearer: The Future of Warhammer

March 2009·pp. 84–86

THE SHORT VERSION

Rick Priestley looks forward rather than revisiting the old days. Expanding plastic ranges promise more affordable cavalry armies, larger monsters and easier conversions. Alternative builds can also introduce new units within familiar vehicle or creature concepts. He still sees a place for metal figures where production methods suit individual designs.

Editorial: Collecting for Big Games

Mark treats Apocalypse as a way to field the models he enjoys rather than build towards a restrictive list. He reminds readers that three thousand points is only a starting scale for the expansion. Large games can also use ordinary rules when that better suits the group. The same collecting freedom extends to Legendary Battles and the forthcoming War of the Ring.

Collectors Range: Raiders and Wolf Guard

Seb Perbet’s looting Orcs carry a torch or stolen pig alongside their plunder. Juan Diaz’s Wolf Guard instead charges forwards with paired lightning claws. The figures illustrate the range’s combination of comic subjects and alternative army characters. The page identifies their sculptors and distinctive equipment.

Dark Storm Gathering

Tchar’zanek’s advance spreads mutation and plague across the Empire. High Elf intervention offers relief but faces interference from the Dark Elves. Four heroes must cooperate against a threatened daemon summoning. The notice presents the stakes of the developing war rather than a detailed plot account.
