The Island of Blood

THE SHORT VERSION

Andy Hall opens the new boxed game and asks Ted Williams and Dave Thomas how its contrasting armies were chosen and fitted onto the plastic frames. The elite High Elves and numerous Skaven provide different silhouettes and battlefield roles; mixed frames, push-fit construction and three-part Reavers allow surprisingly elaborate models without sacrificing quantity or accessibility. Character and unit profiles establish Althran’s defenders and Verminkin’s invaders, while the designers explain centrepieces such as Brian Nelson’s Griffon, the Mage’s sculpted fire and the first plastic Skaven weapon teams.
