THE SHORT VERSION

Keith selects compatible Black Orc and Boar Boy parts before assembly so the rider looks natural on his mount. Sculpted waist armour joins the upper body to the legs, a gauntleted hand grips the boar’s ruff and reversed helmet horns alter the silhouette. Added weapons reinforce the Black Orc’s identity, while a raised corpse-strewn base uses the Warhammer Basing Kit to give the charge a stronger display presence.

The Battle for Quenelles

Andy Hall reports an unusually large recreation of the Red Pox attack on Quenelles, with eight Bretonnian dukes facing five Skaven lords. Alessio Cavatore coordinated the game, whose decisive massed cavalry charge gave the Bretonnians victory. Hall nevertheless claims a local success for the Skaven after his Plague Monks reached the walls, illustrating how a narrative mega-battle can produce memorable achievements even for the losing side.

Flight of the Nazgûl

Nick Bayton turns the plastic Fell Beast into a collection of all nine Ringwraiths by identifying the defining feature of each metal character. Swapped heads and arms, sculpted armour, altered wings and carefully matched paint schemes distinguish the riders. The Witch-king receives a removable display base confronting Théoden, while the opening discusses the coordinated attacks and enhanced survivability that make the Nazgûl battlehost formidable.

The Green Tide

Andy Hall asks Jeremy Vetock why Orcs and Goblins remain an endlessly expandable army. Jeremy values their comic unpredictability and variety, describing staggered infantry blocks, supporting hard hitters and delayed Fanatics rather than a single unbeatable combination. The feature introduces the major greenskin troop types and new Boar Boyz, then Mark Latham demonstrates his own preference for a large Boyz-led force in a detailed army list.
