The Light in the Darkness: Gandalf the Grey

January 2018·p. 91

THE SHORT VERSION

Patric Sand’s silver-winning Gandalf separates several apparently similar grey fabrics through subtle shifts of warmth, coolness and texture. Glazing produces broad transitions from deep shadows to bright highlights, while the judges praise the ability to keep the whole miniature coherent without allowing its layers of clothing to merge visually.

The Nazgûl of Dol Guldur

Three resin miniatures give individual forms to the Witch-king, the Dark Headsman and the Slayer of Men as they appear at Dol Guldur. Their masks, armour and weapons distinguish the otherwise hidden servants of Sauron, with the preview noting how these identities fit into the larger collection of nine wraiths.

The Search for the Stone

Jay Clare begins a five-scenario Battle Companies campaign written primarily for Evil warbands. Sauron’s servants journey from Angmar toward a lost stone in Osgiliath, using the campaign structure of the book’s Quest to Fornost while substituting new encounters; notes allow Good companies to participate with adjusted narrative and rewards.
