Worlds of Warhammer: The Skaven’s Moment

December 2024·pp. 8–11

THE SHORT VERSION

Jordan presents a deliberately partisan case for the Skaven as the Hour of Ruin’s protagonists. Their long work poisoning magical nexuses has created the Vermindoom and a tangible territorial base in the Gnaw. He links constant invention, rivalry between the Great Clans and the new region’s strongholds to opportunities for stories and personal armies, ending with a playful pronunciation guide to Queekish names.

Planet Warhammer

The studio Underworlds league ends with Phil’s Skinnerkin beating Leigh’s Stab Ladz, while Kelly wins the painting award. Reader letters connect novels with named character models, suggest ways to draw veterans into Combat Patrol and revisit a classic Ork shipboard scenario using modern terrain. Personal model galleries, a Fellowship diorama and cats invading a hobby bench round out the section.

Scenarios of the Month: The Relocation Orb

A single objective moves between linked locations at the start of each round. The underdog chooses its next destination, while tied players randomise the move. Six points for controlling the orb and four for a battle tactic make positioning, mobility and anticipating the next relocation central to success.

Satellite Uplink: Gods of War

Readers display named heroes, alien leaders and a towering gargant as their armies’ centrepieces. Studio favourites pair Matt’s Angron with Dirk’s Mortarion. Matt contrasts supernatural red skin and purple wings with weathered mundane equipment, while Dirk intensifies an already colourful Death Guard scheme through elaborate wing markings and bright green armour.
