Details: Ringwraith, Claws, Tongue, Metal and Reins

February 2010·p. 88

THE SHORT VERSION

Grey edge highlights and gloss separate the claws from surrounding dark skin, while a purple-to-bone tongue gains a wet finish from varnish. The Ringwraith’s cloak uses khaki-lightened black and brown shading, with brown leather reins connecting rider and mount. Black-washed metal finishes the equipment, keeping the smaller materials distinct without breaking the model’s overall dark appearance.

Painting Beastmen

Duncan Rhodes supplies four compact recipes for a battle-ready Gor. Dark brown fur is drybrushed, washed and lightly highlighted, while flesh receives a warm wash and a pale finishing mix. Bone uses a brown foundation and controlled light edges, and metal is black-washed before bright silver highlights. The guide keeps each material distinct while remaining short enough to repeat across an entire herd.

The White Horse and the White Hand

Adam Troke links five battles in the war between Rohan and Isengard, moving between individual-model skirmishes and company-based War of the Ring engagements. Early victories grant reinforcements or points, rescuing Théodred can preserve him for later battles and casualties at the Deeping Wall alter the final relief. Four scenarios receive printed setup material; the climactic Relief of Helm’s Deep is introduced with a reference to its full rulebook scenario.

A Wolf Among the Horses

Rohan defends a small settlement against raiders entering around its edges, with each side building around specified captains and additional points. Dunlendings gain a temporary attack after a kill, while Rohirrim may ignore wounds through determination. Victory grants extra troops in the later Fords of Isen battle, making the opening skirmish a test of local resistance whose consequences reach the campaign’s larger formations.
