Editorial: Storm of Magic

Andrew Kenrick welcomes an expansion built around the monsters and magic he regards as central to Warhammer’s appeal. Scrolls of Binding allow every army to acquire new creatures, while the issue explores the book, designers and studio players’ preparations before staging a large demonstration battle. A Cities of Death update and a second report extend the theme of dramatic, unusual engagements into Warhammer 40,000.

A Magical Maelstrom

Simon Grant explores Storm of Magic with Mat Ward, who explains the narrative opportunity of fighting during a world-altering magical tempest. Arcane Fulcrums connect battlefield control to escalating spell power, while an extra Monsters and Magic allowance adds creatures, pacts and legendary artefacts to an existing army. The design deliberately brings back extravagant spells and old models within a setting that can contain their power, balanced by dangerous miscasts and the need to protect vulnerable objectives.

Arcane Fulcrums, Cataclysm Spells and Magical Flux

A Wizard occupying an Arcane Fulcrum receives powerful protection but risks both ordinary and additional miscast results. Presence, Equilibrium and Dominance determine which Cataclysm spells become available, while a rotating ascendant lore encourages opportunistic casting. The overview also explains cantrips, summoning, Dwarf Ancestor Runes, sorcerous pacts and the additional quarter-points allowance, showing how control, mobility and magical risk shape the expansion.
