INTERVIEW·WHITE DWARF 381

Guts and Glory

September 2011·pp. 20–29

THE SHORT VERSION

Andy Hall talks to Jeremy Vetock, Jervis Johnson and Seb Perbet about an Ogre army rooted in a fantastical ice age. The writers expand nomadic culture and the Great Maw while the sculptors distinguish shaggy monsters through silhouette, scavenged possessions and bone construction. Rules development translates that imagery into cheaper monstrous infantry, powerful charges, varied magic and monsters with different battlefield jobs.

Stonehorn

The preview supplies the Stonehorn’s full profile and principal special rules. Earth-shattering Charge replaces its normal attacks with 3D3 Impact Hits, enhanced by an especially long charge, without removing its later Thunderstomp or rider attacks. Stone Skeleton halves wounds from Multiple Wounds attacks, and the entry explains how the shared beast-rider profile differs when a Hunter takes it as a mount.
