Army Workshop: Return of the Legion of Despair

September 2011·pp. 76–81

THE SHORT VERSION

Chad Mierzwa expands the studio’s Vampire Counts army with a Terrorgheist, a Tomb Banshee and four Cairn Wraiths. The blue-grey and bone palette continues the previous force, while miniature dioramas hidden within multi-bases reward close inspection. A new Ghoul King displaces Malochai as army leader, turning a change in legal army composition into the story of Braellion the Usurper and suggesting future additions through that rivalry.

Guts and Glory

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.
