A World of Hobby: Available to Order

August 2009·pp. 48–49

THE SHORT VERSION

The feature explains why a local store cannot hold every part of the range. Specialist games, collectors’ miniatures and conversion packs therefore remain accessible through ordering. Examples show the breadth beyond the main boxed products. This is an account of the contemporary retail system, including web, store and independent-stockist routes.

The Verminous Horde

Andy interviews Jeremy about an army whose internal rivalry is as important as its numbers. The book broadens the major clans, removes former collection restrictions and returns the Vermin Lord. New weapon teams, engines and magical choices create threats that can also endanger their owners. Imperial disbelief, playtesting observations and an infantry painting guide connect the background to the tabletop.

Dom Murray’s Space Wolves

Dom considers how the new codex changes a collection developed over ten years. Flexible character choices let him field leaders that once competed for too few slots. Blood Claws, Rune Priests and saga rules support several different themes. New plastic parts renew his interest in giving every warrior an individual appearance.

Mighty Heroes, Mighty Deeds

Adam considers special characters as starting points for collecting and storytelling. Historical events can inspire scenarios, while some heroes directly change an army’s selection rules. Other themes require only a collector’s choice of units and appearance. An Azhag force demonstrates assembling a substantial army from details scattered across older background sources.
