A studio painting competition rewards the miniature that best expresses Warhammer’s character rather than technical perfection, with Martin Footitt’s converted Ogre Tyrant winning the vote. The news pages also introduce the 2011 School League’s expanded regional heats and War of the Ring format, preview Space Marine’s forge-world action, and describe the online painting, collecting and scenario support accompanying The Island of Blood.

An account of Absolom Reach’s destruction introduces four daemon formations through a five-day planetary catastrophe. Khârn erupts into the governor’s gladiatorial tournament, Khorne and Slaanesh hunt the fleeing population, the Changeling turns apparently loyal troops into Horrors, and Fateweaver’s princes complete the planet’s transformation. The narrative makes the accompanying Apocalypse datasheets parts of one coordinated invasion rather than unrelated collections of models.

The Changeling and a core unit of twenty Pink Horrors, optionally supported by more Horror units, infiltrate the enemy army disguised as its own troops. The datasheet places them inside the opposing deployment area after normal deployment and Scout moves, then shields both sides from shooting and assaults involving the impostors until the second turn. That delay models the confusion of their transformation while giving the daemon player an unusual way to position a substantial force behind enemy lines.
