Gundabad Battle Company

November 2017·p. 111

THE SHORT VERSION

Gundabad’s company begins with a compact core of armoured Orcs and can grow through a varied reinforcement table. Wargs, Goblin Mercenaries and stranger creatures expand its options, while the Ogre rules restrict the normal promotion path and the hero upgrade trades multiple attacks for a more forceful single blow.

Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game: Battle Companies

The returning Battle Companies format is introduced as a way to begin with a handful of fighters and develop them through linked adventures. The book gathers company creation, experience, equipment and scenarios into one supplement, offering a smaller-scale entry to Middle-earth as well as a source of personal characters for larger armies.

Temporal Distort: June 2010

The retrospective revisits White Dwarf 366 and its tank-heavy Spearhead expansion, placing it beside the vehicle kits and marking guides released at the time. A Bilbo Hall of Fame choice, Blood Angels advice, Orc modelling and the preview of Warhammer’s eighth edition show the wider mix of that earlier magazine.

Return of Battle Companies

Adam Troke and Jay Clare revisit the small-warband campaign format and explain how its new book expands the original articles. 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.
