INTERVIEW·WHITE DWARF 367

Rule the World

July 2010·pp. 28–30

THE SHORT VERSION

Mat Ward outlines the principles behind eighth edition rather than attempting a complete rules lesson. Random charge distances create risk, supporting attacks and Steadfast reward substantial infantry formations, and Stomp gives large creatures an appropriately violent presence. A more confrontational Magic phase balances devastating spells with dangerous miscasts, while active terrain and percentage-based army selection aim to increase choice without bringing the battle to a halt.

Editorial: Warhammer Takes the Studio

Andrew Kenrick describes the excitement surrounding the new Warhammer book, from newly painted armies to Jervis’s narrative campaign and regular Studio games. An entire issue is devoted to the game, bringing together its authors, artists, scenery makers and painters. The editorial presents that breadth as the point of the release: readers are invited to explore the world and its creative possibilities as well as the changes to the rules.

Trouble in the Border Princes

Jervis Johnson’s Studio campaign uses a sandbox approach without a fixed predetermined structure. Players contribute battle reports, grudges and artefacts to a campaign wall, allowing the referee and participants to develop new narrative branches together. Dom Murray’s illustrated war journal and a Mighty Empires map demonstrate how the campaign generates material beyond the games themselves, with future coverage promised as the fighting expands.

Battalion Challenge

Studio hobbyists are challenged to complete an entire Battalion in a month, turning lunch breaks into shared painting sessions. Early examples include Colin Grayson’s finished force and Keith Robertson’s expanding Ogre collection, with painters and sculptors joining less experienced colleagues. The short report shows how a common deadline and a visible group project can build momentum for new armies, alongside the continuing Summer of War activities.
