Six Truths About Nathaniel Garro

December 2012·p. 142

THE SHORT VERSION

James Swallow looks back at Garro’s rise from conflicting fragments of Epic-era lore into a popular Heresy protagonist. He discusses drawing from several earlier versions, John Gravato’s knight-like card illustration and Toby Longworth’s performance, which partly takes inspiration from Lawrence of Arabia. Garro’s loyalty gives him strength amid betrayal, but his future remains deliberately unresolved; Swallow offers one firm contemporary revelation while resisting a simple explanation of his destiny.

Having once fled treachery himself, Garro must now judge others before their apparent guilt leads to a general condemnation. The review finds this reversal a strong test of his character and praises distinct voice performances, especially Varren, while questioning the vocal portrayal of a White Scar.

Forge World Latest: Fellblade and Typhon

Two large Marine tanks extend the Heresy range with different forms of heavy firepower. The Fellblade’s domed twin-gun turret, multiple lascannons and hull weapons give it an unmistakable super-heavy presence, while the Typhon’s enormous dreadhammer and heavy frontal shield define it as a siege vehicle. Both retain opportunities for Legion or Chapter identity through compatible doors, linking their new forms to existing Marine collections.

Licensed Games: Talisman — Prologue

Designer Carl Jackson explains how Talisman’s familiar board, cards and encounters become a single-player digital quest game. Short objectives let players fit a session into a few minutes, while replaying for better results supplies a longer challenge and a route to learning the system. Jackson describes the team’s affection for the original board game and presents Prologue as a foundation for a later multiplayer version.
