Andrew Kenrick introduces the new Daemon models and the chance to use the same supernatural army in both major games. The Soul Grinder’s arrival in Warhammer particularly excites him, while two battle reports test the new forces against Eldar and High Elves. He also points to allied detachments, the returning Arena of Death and John Blanche’s exploration of plastic characters as the issue’s other major themes.

Simon Grant introduces the four Chaos Gods through the distinct battlefield qualities of their servants, then compares how those qualities appear in Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000. Khorne supplies direct violence, Slaanesh speed, Nurgle endurance and Tzeentch magic and ranged power, with mixed hosts able to compensate for individual weaknesses. Daemon Princes, Furies and Soul Grinders broaden the selection beyond one patron, while five short painting recipes establish the corresponding flesh colours.

Slaanesh combines grace and murderous speed through Daemonettes, Seekers and Fiends, using initiative, rending or armour-piercing attacks rather than raw resilience. The new chariots add a concentrated impact attack that can break a unit before its crew strikes. Grant compares their charge effects in the two games and highlights how Heralds or a Keeper of Secrets amplify the host’s ability to strike first and exploit flanks.
