THE SHORT VERSION

The far-future gallery ranges from a gold-armoured Iskandar Khayon and Rubric bodyguard to colourful Screamers and converted cultists. Magical bases link Scarab Occult Terminators with their effects, while Alexandre Dumillard adapts Corvus Cabal bodies and assorted weapons into a coherent blue-clad Necromunda cult.

Worlds of Warhammer: Victory and Defeat

Nick Horth explains why compelling faction stories need meaningful losses as well as victories. Examples involving Sigmar, Nagash, Archaon and Abaddon show how defeat can generate change or hide a wider plan, preserving each participant’s credibility without reducing the setting to predictable wins or perfectly alternating outcomes.

Echoes from the Warp: Questions for Robin

Robin Cruddace answers recurring event questions about his job, favourite aspects of development, playtesting, FAQs and how new books are scheduled. He distinguishes the armies he enjoys collecting from the challenge of writing every faction, and defines a successful codex through fun, thematic expression and rewarding play rather than raw power.
