Mark welcomes the Guard release and its eagerly anticipated plastic aircraft. Three battles follow a commissar through different stages of his career. He also describes plans for a Middle-earth campaign linking skirmishes with larger formation battles. New rules and miniatures are presented as prompts for further stories rather than isolated releases.

Valkyrie Profile and Grav Chute Insertion

The aircraft’s printed profile includes armour, access points and transport capacity. Grav-chute deployment allows passengers to disembark after a high-speed move. Scattering or an impossible landing carries significant risk. The Vendetta is described as an alternative gunship configuration, while the page stops short of a full army-list entry.
