James Gallagher: The Despoiler of Worlds

October 2019·pp. 70–71

THE SHORT VERSION

James Gallagher paints Abaddon for a competition but deliberately keeps him consistent with the army he will later lead. Extra highlights improve the centrepiece without separating it completely from the troops, and small trophy and hair choices tie the miniature to both his own force and his rivalry with the Raven Guard collector.

Echoes From the Warp: Creating Apocalypse

Robin Cruddace explains four goals behind the standalone mass-battle game: familiarity, shorter play, reduced downtime and an opportunity to use every unit before it is removed. Unit-level resolution, detachment activations, orders and delayed damage all serve those aims, with playtesting adjusting blast markers to prevent armies disappearing too quickly.

Engage and Slay

Andy Clark follows Sister Superior Jessavyn Pheng’s cadre through a seemingly empty hauler in pursuit of the blood-witch Mother Cerynt. Methodical searching, silent communication and psychic immunity support the assault, but darkness and enthralled followers make reaching the quarry costly even after the Sisters have located her sanctum.
