Warhammer Fantasy Battle
  • Force of Nature: The new Wood Elves have arrived freshly reinvigorated, with all new rules, models, magic lore and arrt. Graham McNeill catches up with some of the designers behind Warhammer Armies: Wood Elves to get the lowdown on the defenders of Athel Loren.
  • Battle Report: In Defence of Athel Loren: Any army encroaching on the Wood Elves' realm of Athel Loren risks swift retribution. Pete Haines' Orcs and Goblins rise to the challenge while Mat Ward's Wood Elves gather to repel the trespassers.
  • Wood Elf Waystone: The Wood Elves' waystones are a good example of simple terrain that characterises an army. Master modeller Mark Jones shows us how he created these Elven scenery pices.
  • Mistresses of the Jungle: The jungles of Lustria hold many secrets. Explorers maintain dubious tales of ancient weapons of power and tribes of the deadly warrior women known as Amazons. Here Andy Hoare presents rules and background for them in your games.
  • Converted to the Cause: In preparation for this summer's Conquest of the New World activities, we asked four veteran hobbyists to convert and paint some models and create Lustrian-themed forces.
  • A Tale of Four Gamers: The final month of the Tale of Four Gamers is here! Who is the lord of the jungle? Our four fight their final campaign turn to find out and display their completed armies.
