THE SHORT VERSION

Experience, promotion and persistent injuries turn ordinary warriors into memorable individuals, while additional factions and a journey to Fornost provide variety; the magazine supplies two companies that could not fit into the book.

Five Questions: C L Werner

C L Werner contrasts the pragmatic, profit-driven Kharadron with more traditional duardin while discussing Overlords of the Iron Dragon.
